A/N: Written for the Battleship Challenge, C10 (miss) - "Tampons were a little like grizzly bears: he was aware of their existence, but he'd never seen one in the wild, and didn't really care to." - An Abundance of Katherines by John Green

185. Girl's Bedroom
That's what happened when you grew up
with boys; they hadn't a clue
about anything: those stuff she had to hide
in her room
And still they saw them, gawked at them:
her bra, her thin floral panties, those tampons
in a box – and it wasn't like they lived in a hole:
they were teenagers after all, or adults
But still they gawked; not one of them had yet
seen a teenage girl's room
except for hers.
