Chapter 19

Females began puberty between the ages of eight and twelve. That's the beginning of adolescence. Just when I was a happy-go-lucky kid who ran around looking for something to entertain myself, I began to doubt my life.

Well, I was already making decisions as I was still mentally eighteen. I have my ups and downs in my previous life to know what to do in my second life. 

When I woke up in the morning, I felt like snuggling into bed and forget about school. Of course, a certain skylark invaded my room and bashed me with the metal tonfa.

"Wake up." He glared at my burrito form.

I groaned, slowly sit upright. My eyes closed tiredly as I pulled off the covers and staggered like a zombie. I brushed past Kyoya, mumbling under my breath.

"Okay, I'm awake..."

Hibari stared at her retreating back. The raven-haired male knew that the girl would generally greet him or make a sassy comment. Seeing the girl acted obediently, he began to feel something off about her. A part of him was pleased to see the girl behaved. However, he missed the bright-looking girl, filling the house with smiles and laughter. Chisaki wasn't this well-behaved, so why did she become differently?

I should have to stay home if I wasn't feeling well. My classmates immediately find the cheerful Chisaki being silent was worrisome. I laid my head on the desk, ignoring the burning eyes on me.

My body oddly feels stiff and heavy. The whole morning, abdominal cramps come and go away repeatedly. I thought it was last night's dinner, which was sushi, upset my stomach. A wave of pain hit me. I curled up in my desk, internally crying how I have to suffer.

'The world is unfair to me.'

"Ne, Chi-chan," Kyoko called out to me. I twisted my neck to face the other way. Kyoko's smile was upside down. Because of how I acted. I knew I concerned my friends. At this moment, I could care less.

"Yes..." I slurred like a drunken old man.

"Are you alright? You look under the weather," Hana spoke out, unsettled by my changed behavior.

"I don't know...I feel like everyone is against me..."

I winced as another wave of pain hit me, this time stronger. Imagine someone stabbed you in the stomach and twisted the knife.

I couldn't handle it anymore. I bolted out of my seat, out of the classroom, to the nearest restroom.

I shut myself in the furthest cubicle and sat on the toilet seat. 

"Chi-chan!" Kyoko entered the restroom, calling out to me.

"Which cubicle are you in?" Hana asked.

I groaned in response as another painful wave comes. Something leaked out and soaked my skirt. What is this? I got up from the cubicle seat, leaving a red spot.

I scowled. My mood worsened, realizing that the time for me to mature into a woman has come. Things get worse when my skirt has a permanent red paint on the back.

'Why at this timing,' I cried mentally. 'Curse Mother Nature!'

The voices of my friends rose, knocking on the cubicle door.

"Kyoko-chan, Hana-chan," I slumped against the door. "Do you have...pads?"

"You made us worried, Chi-chan." Kyoko placed a hand on my back, rubbing soothing circles.

"Never knew that the bright, happy girl of the school would act down because of a period," Hana patted my shoulder. "You are officially a woman."
