Hey guys thanks for the reviews.
Gretchen sat in her room trying to work on her science fair project but couldn't help thinking about what she had found out about Spinelli. 'How could this happen?' She thought to herself. 'She was way more girly then Spinelli' she thought for sure that she would have gotten hers' first. But she was wrong. Gretchen put away her science experiment and turned on the television, she fell asleep about 15 minutes later.
The next morning Spinelli woke up and felt much better. And she noticed that her period was gone until next month. She was relieved but also worried. She felt better but didn't feel up to running around and acting childish. She was growing up very fast and had to except the fact that she was a girl and had to start acting like one. She got dressed in her regular clothes and headed down to breakfast.
"hi hunny" her mom said as she put a plate of pancakes on the table.
"hey mom." Spinelli said and sat down, she picked up 3 pancakes and put them one her plate then she started eating them.
"Morning family" Spinelli's father entered the room and sat next to his daughter.
"did you tell her?" Her father asked her mother.
"No not yet. I'm going to wait till after school." and she sat down.
Spinelli just pretended she never heard any of that and finished her pancakes. Then she got her back pack and left the house. She got to the buss stop, Gretchen was already there and so was Vince, Gus and T.J. "hey Spinelli" Vince said as she stopped next to Gretchen.
"Hi guys" Spinelli smiled and looked at all of them. "Where's Mikie?" she asked.
"Oh he's visiting his grandfather" Gus said. "but he'll be back tomorrow."
They all waited the rest of the time for the buss silently. Spinelli sat next to Gretchen. "Did you tell anyone?" she asked.
"No but I think they deserve to know, Its not like they will make fun of you or anything." Gretchen said.
"Fine but you tell them." Spinelli said and looked out the window the rest of the ride without making a sound.
They got to school and sat down in their regular seats. Gretchen usually didn't send note in class but this was important. The is what she wrote…
-Hey T.J I know whats bothering Spinelli. Send this to Vince, then to Gus after you read it…
Ok well she is kind of going through a change that every GIRL goes through…. She got her period. And she has been getting cramps and head aches and just does feel like running around and stuff right now. But don't worry she'll get over it in a week and then will be back to her normal self… at least until next month.
Gus, destroy this letter after reading it.
Then she tried to catch T.J's attention. "pst" she whispered. "hey T.j" he finally looked and reached his had for the note. He almost had it when ms.Grokie swooped it out of Gretchen's hands.
"Why Gretchen I would have never thought you of all people would be sending notes in class." she said.
"I know, I'm sorry but I have a perfectly good explanation." she said reaching to take the note back.
"Oh no you don't" she said opening the note. "you know the rules Gretchen, even though this is your first time the rules still apply."
She opened the note and read it out loud to the whole class. Gretchen sunk down in her chair as all of the kids looked at Spinelli and laughed. Spinelli's face turned red and stared at Gretchen from across the class with an evil look for the rest of the class.
