Red Underwear and The Outsiders
Well, the news today is pretty darn weird, so if you don't like totally out-of-the-ordinary blogs, you might not want to read this post. (If you also hate blogs about books describing fictional people from the 60s or periods, then I would recommend that you leave right now!)
I think I'll start with the more normal news. In language class, we have just started a book called The Outsiders. It's about guys from the 1960s who live in total pandemonium on the streets. But what's even weirder, in my opinion, are their names. The oldest is named Darrel, which is not very strange, but his nickname is Darry. The next youngest is Soda (very unnormal), and the narrator's name is Ponyboy! That's probably the most hilarious name ever!
Now for the gross part. (Another heads up: It's about my P-E-R-I-O-D!) It began on Sunday night when I took my underwear off and there was RED STUFF ALL OVER IT! Since I had no clue what it was at the time, I disreguarded it. When it happened the second time the next day, that's when I finally discovered that it was blood, so I shoved the underwear in a corner. The third time, I was starting to get a little nervous. I shoved the bloody pair in the corner with the other one.
Then on Wednesday (yesterday) I finally told my best friends Shira and Lalonna about it. Shira said, "By all means, tell your mom."
Turns out I didn't have to. When I came home from school that day, my mom asked me, "Jess, when did you start your period and not tell me?" I was totally busted! I found out later that she must have found the underwear while she was cleaning my room. She bought me some pads and showed me how to use them. I thought the pads looked like diapers, but they didn't feel like it when I put one on me.
Today when I checked my pad, nothing. I guess that was it for my first month. Wasn't so bad, overall. I plan to tell all the rest of my friends tomorrow, like Aspen, Cara, and Jasmine.
I'm not the first person in my friend circle to start. Cara told me and Aspen that she started over summer vacation, so she'll understand, at least.
That's all! I'll be back soon with more stuff to tell you about!
Ciao for Now,
