Okay, I'm back with another chapter of Fatherly advice I hope you guys enjoyed the last chapter in my opinion it sucked a little because Maya was a little out of character.
You guys are probably wondering why I update so fast but when I write a new story that's what happens and also I have the chapters planned out just a warning in the future I will update often.
So this chapter did take longer than I expected to write it's kinda long so I hope you enjoy:)
Chapter summary: Maya Hart just became a woman she got her period. Her mum never explained that to her so she goes to Topanga Mathews who happily gives her advice but also tells Shawn thinking Maya had already told him. Shawn feels it's necessary to talk to Maya about this whereas Maya feels it isn't necessary!
This is a two part chapter so this is Puberty: part one and the next chapter will be puberty: part two.
Maya's POV
Have you ever felt that moment in life when your freaking out? Well today I'm freaking out! Today Maya Hart has become a woman. Can we celebrate later? My mum has never explained anything about periods to me and I would never ask Shawn about something like this. I'd ask Riley but she hasn't got her's yet and if she did I'd doubt she'd be able to help I love her to deat but Riley's naive at times so I guess I'll just ask Mrs Mathews.
I walk over to the Mathews making sure to sneak out of the house quietly so Shawn doesn't ask me why I'm going so early. "Who is it?" I hear the voice of my perky best friend "Maya" "come on up."
I walk into the Mathews residence and notice that two faces are absent.
"Where's your dad and Auggie?" I ask confused "they wend gift shopping for Mum's birthday" Riley whispers in my ear. I nod my head "I need to go get changed" Riley says walking out of the room and into her bedroom.
"Good morning Maya" "Good morning Mrs Mathews"
"you okay, Maya you seem a little distracted"
"Uh...Ms Mathews I kinda need your help" I explain "off course sweetie" she says sitting next to me. "What am I supposed to do when I get my period?" I ask a little embarassed.
Topanga's smile widens "oh honey, that's great" she smiles "not...really" I respond "I don't know anything about this" i admit.
"That's fine you have me when did you get your period?"
"Just today when I woke up"
"Okay, do you have any pads at home?" She asks "I doubt Shawn keeps pads" I reply.
"Do you feel any stomach pains or cramps?" "No is it gonna be bad?" She laughs "no Maya there is nothing to worry about."
"I've been keeping some pads for when Riley gets her period so just give me a muinete" she says before heading out of the room.
"This isn't as bad I thought" I mumble to myself.
"Found them" Ms Mathews yells walking back into the room and handing them to me "thanks Mrs Mathews I think I'm gonna head home now can you tell Riley I'll see her later?"
"Sure"
"bye"
"bye"
I walk back home with the sanitary pads in my over the shoulder bag. I walk in as quietly as I can. I walk towards the staircase.
"Going somewhere?" I turn around "apparently not" I mumble.
"Where were you this morning?" "I was at Riley's"
"Why did you not tell me where you were going before you left?"
"I forgot." Nice Maya, what a great excuse now I'll get grounded.
"Maya you almost gave me a heart attack this morning when I woke up and didn't know where you we're"
"at least you survived" I joked trying to lighten up the mood I'm guessing it didn't work because Shawn's glare stayed in place.
"Maya, what was so important that you had to go yo the Mathews's at seven in the morning?"
"I had to talk to Mrs Mathews about...something"
"about what?"
"nothing" It was embarrassing enough to tell Topanga it'll be worse to tell Shawn.
"Are you gonna stick with that answer?"
"Yep"
"Then your grounded"
"What!" I yell
"you heard me"
"That is so unfair" I scream and storm upstairs.
Once I'm upstairs I take out the pads and head to the bathroom.
Shawn's POV:
Maybe I was a little harsh. Then again why would she have to leave at seven in the morning without telling me where she's going? What's so important? I'd wouldn't ground her if she had told me before she left.
ring ring
Shawn: Hello
Topanga: Hey Shawn
Shawn: hey Topanga, how you doing?
Topanga: Fine I was just calling to check up on Maya and how things are going with the whole you know...
Shawn: not really...I don't know. What's going on?
Topanga: Maya didn't tell you?
Shawn: Tell me what?
Topanga: that she got her period
Shawn: WHAT!
Topanga: I assumed she told you
Shawn: she didn't so that's why she needed to talk to you
Topanga: yeah
Shawn: oh no! I grounded her because I she didn't tell me why she went to talk to you
Topanga: I think I'd better go now and let you handle this.
Shawn: Bye
Topanga: Bye
Maya's POV:
I hear footsteps coming up the stairs and a knock on my door.
Knock knock
"go away" I scream still mad about being grounded.
"Maya unlock this door"
"no"
"Maya!"
"Fine"
I unlock the door and Shawn walks in. "What?" I question spitefully, my arms crossed over my shoulders and a glare in place.
"I'm sorry I shouldn't have grounded you but you could've just told me" he says
"told you what?" I ask
"that you uh...got your..." He trails off scratching his head. What's Shawn talking about. Wait! How did he find out?
"uh...how did you?"
"Topanga called to see how it's going for you"
"okay so am I ungrounded?"
"Yes but next time tell me first"
"okay, bye" I say walking towards my bedroom door.
"woah! Hold on" "what?" "We need to talk about this" Shawn says.
"I thought we just did" I say confused "no I mean I need to explain stuff to you" he says.
"what do you..." Then the realisation hits me.
"Hold up, you don't need to explain anything I can just call my mum and we can just never talk about this again" I say, frantically.
Shawn who looks very amused at my uncomftarbale position laughs "Maya it won't take long."
Ring Ring
My phone rings
"oh look my phone is ringing" I sate as I pick it up desperate to get out of this situation.
Maya: Hello
Farkle: Hey Maya, it's Farkle
Maya: Thank you Farkle you just saved my life
I say loudly as I run down the stairs and out the front door I can hear Shawn yelling at me to get back here. Oh well!
Farkle: How did I save your life?
Maya: Shawn was just about too talk to me about stuff.
Farkle: what?
Maya: you know...like puberty stuff
Farkle: Gross! Glad I saved you Maya
Maya: me too Farkle, me too
Farkle: so I was just wondering if you wanted to hang out
Maya: sure anything to avoid Shawn for a few hours
Farkle: yeah I'd do the same thing if I were you
Maya: so you feel my pain! So where should I meet you?
Farkle: Hey can Lucas come to?
Maya: yes!
Farkle: you said yes a little too quickly
Maya: knock it off Minkus
Farkle: I'm sorry but you and Lucas better not cast me as some third wheel
Maya: trust me Farkle you couldn't be a third wheel if you tried.
Farkle: Okay, so where should we meet?
Maya: I don't know
Farkle: how about Topanga's?
Maya: sure I'm on my way I'll be there in about five muinetes
Farkle: great. Me and Lucas are already here
Maya: I'll be there soon bye
Farkle: Bye
I hang up and walk to Topanga's I can't believe everything that's happen today it's been insane I've had crazy days but none of them have been like this before. It's not every day That a girl gets her period and her step father wants to talk to her about it. I guess you could call it a day like no other.
As soon as I walk in I immediately notice Ranger Rick and Farkle on the couch. They don't take long to notice me.
"Hey Maya" Lucas calls me over "hey" I respond taking a seat next to him on the couch.
"So what do you guys wanna do today?" Farkle asks "I don't know" I shrug "we could go see a movie or something" Lucas suggesets.
"Seriously, Ranger Rick?"
"What's wrong with a movie?" He replies
"do you remember the last time we all went to see a movie?" I ask referring to the time we went to spy on Shawn and Mum's date.
"Okay, so movie is off the list" he decides "yeah let's forget the movie" Farkle says remembering as well.
"So why don't we just go to the mall and get some milkshakes" Farkle proposes
"sounds good too me what about you Huckleberry?"
"Sounds good to me too"
"let's go" Farkle says as we head out of Topanga's talking about anything and everything.
We arrive at the mall and head towards the milkshake place.
"I'll have a strawberry" I order
"I'll take a chocalate" Farkle says
"and I'll take a mango" Lucas exclaims
We head towards table seven which is our lucky milkshake table.
"Hey, do you guys think we should call Riley and Zay to join us?" I ask
"yeah, why not?" Farkle asks and gets out his phone to text Zay whilst I get out mine to text Riley.
"So Lucas do you know who your gonna ask to the dance this Friday?" Farkle asks glancing at me.
"well...I had someone in mind" he responds smiling at me. I smile back.
"Farkle do you know who your asking?" I Lucas asks
"yeah who are you going with?" I question curiously.
"well I'm not sure I was thinking to ask Smackle" he replies
"Smackle?" I almost choke on my drink "are you serious?" Lucas asks as Farkle nods "but you hate her" I jump in.
"She's pretty cool" Farkle says
"do you like her?" I smirk "I don't know" he shrugs "dude, you like Smackle?" Lucas asks with a shocked expression on his face.
"Hey guys when we hear Riley and Zay's voices "hey" the three of us chorus "did you guys order smoothies?" I ask them "yeah I ordered vanilla" Riley smiles "and I ordered raspberry" Zay continues. I notice the cute glances between Riley and Zay.
"So Maya what's going on in your life?" Farkle asks breaking the silence
"uh...nothing really what about you guys?" I question motioning to the rest of the group
"Well my ballet teacher told me I've improved a great deal since last year" Zay replies and we all just look at him hoping he's joking but the expression on his face shows he isn't.
"So Riley what about you?" I ask trying to get the picture of Zay in a tutu out of my mind.
