Hermia

Cute and sassy

The noise wasn't helping me to calm down. And anyway,  what to expect in a stadium filled with heads,  everyone excited for the hockey match. I'm not supposed to be in the benches, in fact I should be in that field scoring aces for my school but I'm stuck here.

The unexpected arrival of my time of the month ruined everything for me.

On any normal day I would wait to see what ends up happening but everyone and everything is being really annoying today. I'm on my periods and Sally,  my best friend is so chirpy and maybe stupid while the rest of the students are yelling. To them, they were cheering their school players at a group level hockey match while to me they are piercing my eardrums with noises.  I'm just really very irritated.

Alex came in front of me. "Are you okay, Hermia? "

"Yeah. Can you tell the coach I want to play? Please? " I pleaded.

He shrugged, "Sorry, he just wouldn't allow you. "

"But I said I'm fine!"

"Actually. . ."

"I told him about your. . ." Sally interrupted. I turned my head at her. "She did what?" I mutter, my eyes widened then darkened as I glared at her.

She just ruined chances of the coach letting me play after committing a foul I shouldn't have.

If not that I'm a girl.

If not for my period.

The heck of a thing  wasn't supposed to come at this time anyway. Perks of being a girl. Ugh,  I hate being a girl.

"Sorry. . ." she whispered.

"Alright,  see you around. " Alex said then walked away.

I only watched as he substituted another player. How I wished I was the one. I have been practicing for this match all week and see? That got ruined because of my period and Sally.

"Guess what?  " someone buzzed near me, of course it's her. Speak of the devil...

"Sally please,  not now. I'm not well. " I snapped, obviously annoyed at her.

She bit her lips. "Saying anything isn't worsening it. You already took the pain relief. "

I rolled my eyes. "It is because you talk too much. I'm just trying to stay calm until the game is over. And I can't seem to focus on that. " I clutched my stomach and winced slightly. I'm very uncomfortable here. I wasn't prepared for this.

"What? "Sally asked.

Of all things,  I wasn't thinking of talking to her. I was too busy battling the pain.

I deadpanned and rolled my eyes. "What is happening. . . "

"Oh, the match? It's still 10-10 for now.  I don't think they'll win the bet. They're gonna be the loser team. "

" I told them lemme play now see.. They'll lose both the bet and the match. "

"You're visiting the time of the month." she pouts,  dipping her hand into my skittles. I shot her a dirty look .

"Stay away from my skittles. " I warned and she shrugged showing me the six she took.

Focusing back on the field. All I saw was my school losing to a lousy neighbour school, Holman Christian High.

"Once they're done, wake me. " I then fell into a snooze, trying to ignore the sharp pain gnawing in my stomach.

Someone tapped gently on my shoulder and I felt someone holding me. I sat up instantly.

"Any problem? " I asked in an harsh tone. No one could've guessed it was a girl speaking.

"Hey," a freckled faced guy smiled down at me.

"You almost fell. Got bored? "

He's wearing glasses and looking smart yet stupid in a jersey,  worse is that it's for the opponent team.

"I hate you" I said and turned away from the guy standing next to me. He looked too cute but I wanted to hate him.

"Excuse me? "

But I ignored him and tried to look for the scoreboard. I can't seem to locate that too as my sight was freaking blurry.

"What's the score?" I muttered.

"Oh,  Ivy High has 60 points..." I rolled my eyes, that's my school. "And Holman Christian, 100."

"What! "

"Yeah? " he shrugged.

"I really do hate you. "

He smirks. Wait, I thought he was a nerd.

"May I know why?" he said in a composed manner.

"Really hate your guts, ugh."

"Nice. You hate me but I don't know why. Don't you think you're just crazy, guy? "

"Guy. . ." I scoffed. He doesn't know I'm a girl. Then, why waste my time on him. He anyway has two malfunctioning eyes and a pair of artificial ones yet he can't see that I'm a girl. No point talking to him.

And where the hell is Sally now? "Sally,  bring your ass here now. "

"Oh,  your girlfriend? "

"How does it matter? " I snap at him. Why is he poke nosing?

"No.  Just wondering how she's coping with you, grumpy. Anyways I gotta go"

He was going to jog away when I called him back and I honestly don't know why. "Hey! "

He turned a bit and smirked. The girl in me thought that was cute but I roll my eyes. "Who the hell do you think you are?"

"Simply Aaron."

"Marked you. Again I hate you. "

"Bye, Pimpo "

I frown. Pimpo?

"You've got pimples on your face, just like a girl's. Bye! "

Repercussions of my miserable state and a rub in the salt. How dare he?
