(picture belongs to aki-psyche.......again)

After what felt like only a few minutes, the bell rang and Alfred sprang up. 

"Gotta go, man. Aw, Mrs. Hoehler's gonna be pissed. She told me to hurry back," he waves, running out of the library. Ivan blinked at him in confusion.

"Pissed?" he muttered, raising an eyebrow. What did that mean?

Meanwhile, Alfred was already back in Hoehler's room, gathering his things as fast as he could.

"Alfred..." he heard a condescending voice behind him and turned nervously to face his annoyed teacher.

"Y-Yes, Mrs. Hoehler?"

"What took you so long?"

Darn! What excuse should he use? "I was--well, you see--Bathroom," he said, fumbling around for the right excuse. "It couldn't wait, Mrs. Hoehler."

Hoehler stared at him disbelievingly, "Bathroom? For the whole period?"

"...I...I'm on my period."

Hoehler stared at him, her expression somewhere between offended and amused, "Mr. Gabriel's. Tomorrow morning."

Alfred stared down, flushed with embarrassment. Had he really just used period as an excuse? "Yes, ma'am."

He awkwardly left the classroom, leaving Hoehler to just roll her eyes and chuckle. 

"His period? Seriously?" she sighed, shaking her head in disbelief. "Kids these days, I tell you..."

Yes I know that was short but I was kind of busy today with nerd club and homeowkr soooo :P
