"Nicky, wait!" I said chasing him down.
"Dawn!" Screamed Dicky running up the stairs somewhere behind me.
"Guys, wait up!" Called Ricky followed by a loud crash.
"Uh!" I said pushing past Nicky and getting to our room first.
"No!" Cried Nicky, falling to his knees.
"You owe me twenty dollars." I said smiling.
"20?" He asked.
"20." I said confidently.
Just then Dicky entered hand in hand with a wobbling Ricky.
"Who won?" Asked Dicky.
"Me." I said twirling.
"She's going to be rich." Nicky said mournfully.
"Yeah." I said excitedly.
"Kids its time to go to bed!" Mom shouted up the stairs.
"Night!" We all yelled back.
Dicky
Today is our first day learning about girls in health class; apparently we're going to learn about puberty.
"Hi boys." Said Mrs. Luna.
"Hi." We all replied.
"Does anyone know what we're learning about today?" She asked.
"Girls." Donny said laughing.
"The female anatomy." She said.
"Ew." I whispered to Ricky.
"Does anyone here know what a period is?" She asked.
I know I had heard mom and Dawn talking about periods before.
"I heard my mom and sister talking about them before." Nicky said.
"Yes that's right, these are the ovaries and once a month the ovary releases a egg into the uterus which takes the utero lining and it comes out of the girls private part called the vagina, 1/3 of it is blood." Mrs. Luna said.
Everybody seemed a little nervous to think that happens to girls our age. Then it hit me, that happens to girls, to mom, TO DAWN!
3 weeks later
"Mommy, I don't feel well." I said to my mom.
"What's wrong?" She asked.
"My stomach kind of hurts." I said.
"Are you?" Mom got cut off be Ricky running into the house.
"I win!" He yelled as he ran in.
"No." Cried Dicky coming into the house.
"What are you talking about?" Asked Dicky.
"Nothing, I just don't feel very well." I said.
"Oh." He said.
"Dinner!" Dad called.
"Coming." I said walking into the kitchen. We all sat down and started eating but my stomach still hurt.
"How was school?" Dad asked.
"We're learning about germs in health class." Ricky said.
"All of you?" Asked mom.
"Yeah." I said.
"So you're done with the puberty unit?" Mom asked.
The word puberty kind of made me cringe, so I started giggling and we sat there just eating for about 10 minutes.
"Dawn, is your stomach feeling better?" Mom finally said.
"Not really, I think I'm going to go to bed." I said.
"Okay." Said mom.
"It is getting late, I think I'm going to go to bed to." Said Nicky.
"Me to." Ricky said.
"Night." Said Dicky.
The next morning
"Dawn wake up." I said.
"What?" Dawn asked
"Get up." I said.
"Go away Ricky." She said.
"Dawn." I said pulling the covers off of her.
"AHHH!" I screamed.
"What's wrong?" Dawn asked.
"You're bleeding!" I screamed.
"What!" She asked shooting up out of bed.
"Shit!" She cried.
"Is it?" I asked.
"It is." She said.
"What should I do?" I asked.
"Nothing! Don't tell." She said, tears rimming her eyes.
"Okay." I said.
The moment I got outside the door dad and mom were waiting there.
"What's going on?" I asked.
"Dawn, she got her period." I said.
"What!" Said Nicky, walking down the hall.
"Really?" Asked Dicky following him.
"Yeah." I said.
"I should go talk to her." Mom said.
"Are you sure?" Dad asked.
"Yeah, Dawn got it." I said.
"You told!" Dawn said opening the door with a tear stained face and bloody shorts.
"Are you okay?" Asked mom.
"Go away!" Screamed Dawn.
"Dawn?" Dicky said.
"No, go!" She cried and slammed the door.
"I can't believe it." Nicky said.
