As I was on my way to gym I felt a slight pain in the lower corner of my chest. I thought I had to go to the bathroom so I went only to realized that I had my period. It was no big deal, really, I just grabbed a pad my bookbag and went on my merry way. When I got to gym the teacher announced that today was lap day, so we had to run the mile. I didn't really accure to me that i was wearing a pad until i got out their. As the teacher called out... "ON YOUR MARKS, GET SET, GO", I began to get a little nervous, but it was all for nothing. I took a tremendous lead in front of the class for about half way through the track, until I felt something fall right down my legs. At fist i didn't notice it, but about 20 sec. after it happened you could hear a faint sound in the distance of... "EWWW!" I stopped dead in my tracks. I felt between my legs, and realized nothing was there. When I turned around I saw a crowd begin to form around the bloody object, all of them disgusted. When my teacher came over he was shocked, but calm about. He told everyone to continue on running, but grabbed me a side. He took me to his office, and handed me a tampon. "This is better because it won't fall out, and it lasts about 4 hours." I was mortified, and could barely look at him. On my way out, he added one last commit, "don't forget to pick that thing up before you leave!" From then on I was known as "Bloody Mary" in gym class, and til this day have never used another pad again.
