I blame the bloody mascot

When I was about 12 going on 13 I got my frist period. That summer I was going to cheer camp, and wasn't anticpating such occurances. (Though I think it had appeared a month before, but didn't actually realize it) Anyways, about the 2nd day into the camp, I got my period and it was pretty heavy. I was in the bathroom and the girl who was the mascot so happened to be in there. When I found out that I had my period, I totally freaked out. She overheard me freaking out and ran off to tell my coach. Trying to deal with the fact that my period had arrived i was totally oblivous to the fact that the girl had told my entire squad AND the HS squad. Later that evening, both squads surpised me with a "first-period" party. Its fun but at the same time pretty embarrassing. Another thing that was pretty embarassing is that my PE coach/Bible class teaacher is married to my coach, and he was the one who went out to buy the pads for me. But it was quite a bit for my entire squad to know that I was on my period.
