Why is a ‘period stain’ such a big deal? The author shares her experience. Read on!
I stood up and went towards the lav, And felt all the eyes on me.
I still got inside and checked for the scars, Found none on my face but just below the tee, A small red spot on my pants- Smirked at me from the other side of mirror.
I pulled the t-shirt down just over the stain, But, all in vain when I saw the rear- I said, “f*ck it!” and stepped out, But,couldn’t avoid the mocking stares.
With clumsy steps as I reached my place, A peer called and hushed about my stained pairs. I packed up and walked towards the door, With more stares than before and some whispers. Thus, by the time I punched out from the place, Almost everyone had gasped, “Whoa! the period stain.”
