SILENCE

TWO

Quote for the chapter: I'm invisible, until someone needs me.

************************************

I hate weekdays but what I absolutely loathe is my birthday on a weekday.

Maybe it's because my birthday is on the first of April, the day when pranks were founded or maybe it's because that day I'm suddenly visible to everyone around me.

Obviously not to wish me a happy birthday but to use me as an experiment for their pranks.

So this morning, with a very heavy heart, I shower and dress up for school.

Breakfast consisted of half assed 'happy birthdays' from my CEO mom and my dad who taught at a private middle school.

My siblings specially made me a birthday sandwich except it had toothpaste instead of Nutella.

My wonderful birthday had already started and I'm ready to pull my hair from my head.

Okay, I want to unplug myself from existence.

This is the fifth time someone cracked an egg on me.

Painful fact, he's some hobo I don't even know.

I stood up slowly from my chair before excusing myself to the bathroom.

At least it's a way to escape maths class for now.

After washing up in the bathroom, I decided to stick around for a while.

Five minutes later and I'm feeling nauseous.

How did people hang out here for an hour?

Immediately feeling the urge to throw up, I ran into one of the stalls.

I can't do this.

I'll rather stay in maths class and pretend to understand what Mr Garby is saying rather than be in a bathroom where everywhere seems to stink of menstrual blood.

I immediately washed my hands again before leaving the bathroom.

Except this time, my thighs felt sticky.

I paused in the empty hallway, my mind scrambling with every possible reason why my thighs felt sticky and only one made sense.

God, please no.

Not today, Lord. Please, I can't have the blood butt on my birthday.

The bell rang causing me to jump.

I took off running towards the nurse's office immediately.

Thank God, I didn't wear white today.

"You're kidding right? What do you mean you're out of tampons?" I screeched causing the nurse to roll her eyes.

"You'll be surprised at the number of people who are currently on their period today. I didn't tell you to forget your tampon at home, did I?" Miss Rain said, a wry smile on her stupid face.

"We're out of tampons, pad and even reusable towels so I'll write you a pass so you can go home for the rest of the day. How does that sound?" She asked causing me to roll my eyes.

"Fantastic, Miss Rain" I said, sarcasm dripping from every word.

"I'll watch my mouth if I were you, Miss Floree since I'm the one holding your flimsy pride. Just imagine the terror you're going to feel when you walk out here with a blood butt" she said causing me to glare at her.

She quickly wrote me a pass causing me to nod a thanks to her.

Quickly rushing to grab my bag from my locker, I pulled it down a bit to cover my a*s.

Thankfully it hasn't gotten to my jeans yet but I wasn't taken any chances.

I called an Uber while I waited outside the school after showing security my pass.

Thoughts of a hot bath and my bed kept me occupied until the Uber came.
