I was at my cousin’s house for Thanksgiving, and I was feeling crampy and gross, so I went to the bathroom thinking it was my normal stomach issues.
I didn’t notice the stain right away because my underwear was folded weird.
The moment I saw the stain, I was in disbelief. It was dark brown and splotchy. I had always wanted my period really bad, so this was incredible. I sorta panicked, even though I had known what to do since I was nine.
I yelled for my cousin, who came into the bathroom after I called three times. I told her “I got my period” and she was all like “oh wow ok”… it was funny.
There was pads on the back of the toilet so I sorted myself out and texted my mom “I just got my period” and she came into the bathroom and I showed her and she got all excited and sappy. ” Aww congratulations”
Anyway, I texted all of my friends including my crush, and she was all like, “we just talked about that two days ago!” And that was my first period story!
