Disguise as a Nerd

Chapter 16: Blood

Claire's POV

I woke up feeling lightheaded. I felt my neck and I was quite hot.

Medyo masakit ang aking puson and I feel uncomfortable down there.

As I stand up I felt a little bit out of balance, as I held my head cause I became dizzy all of a sudden.

Crap.

I think I know what this day― more like week will I go through.

This is the bloody week, where in woman can became monsters just because of lack in ice cream and chocolates.

I looked at my bed sheet and saw blood stains in it.

I shook my head then pick up my phone. Texted the head maid here and I told her to change the bedsheets.

I walk in the bathroom feeling discomfort and pain.

Nang makapasok ako sa banyo ay umikot ang paningin ko, kaya't napahawak ako sa lababo ay at napasapo sa ulo ko.

Shit. This is not good. I love violence and so as blood baths, but menstration is the only blood that I hate.

Seriously? Who woudn't? The certain kind of feeling that you would wear mini diapers for a week or less and being in such a bad bad mood.

Yep. I hate menstrations― actually, I loath it.

Pero anong gagawin ko? Wishing for not having a menstruation is a big no no on my part. I mean, pag wala kang dalaw ibig sabihin ay buntis ka.

Nag angat ako nang tingin nang mawala na ang hilo ko at humanap nang gamot sa menstruation ko.

Lalong sumakit ang ulo ko nang malaman kong walang gamot sa may First Aid Kit ko.

Di bale, kay mom nalang ako hihingi.

Sapo-sapo ang puson na dumeretso ako sa shower at binuksan ito nang bigla ako napaigik sa sakit.

Ang lamig! Sigaw ko sa isip ko. Inadjust ko ang temperature nang tubig saka muli itong binuksan. Actually, hindi naman ako ganito ka arte sa pagligo. I could bath in an icy cold water in antartica but when menstration comes I'm as sensitive as a baby.

Tumingala ako sa shower upang tumama sa mukha ko ang tubig, slowly washing my body with soap.

I'm not bragging about my abilities. As the saying goes like this..

"Queens aren't made in a day."

These abilities aren't given easily, I earned them.

Naaalala ko pa, Dad trained me in Baguio when I was ten years old.

He didn't allow me to use heaters in my room and to use hot water for bathing.

He told me that he was training me in order to survive cold places. Let me swim in a pool full of ice blocks for an hour or so. Jogging early as 5 o'clock and being submerged in a tub full of ice.

Yep. And it's a miracle that I'm alive. Suprisingly, those shitty trainings worked and now, being the top gang? I guess I deserve it― more like, we deserve it.

After bath, dumeretso ako sa walk in closet ko at kumuha nang oversived sweater and jogging pants.

I put them on as I remembered that today is the day na magtra-training kami.

I bun myself but I can't do it properly since masakit ang katawan ko kaya it ended up as a messy bun.

I look at myself in the mirror and cringe at what I look.
