Today was supposed to start as usual, but all plans were ruined by a bloody surprise. Menstruation. Despite the calendar you have to track when you had and will have next period, the schedule's still messy.

When your dad, Phillip, found out that your period had started again and you were not in the best mood, allowed you to stay home instead of going to school. He understood that you were not feeling the best way, and was very worried every time you complained to him about stomach pain or any other discomfort, physical or emotional, and didn't want to make you feel worse. Your well-being is moee important than grades or attendance.

"I’m going to go buy some pads. Would you like some sweets? Or maybe something salty?" Phillip says, smiling and sitting on the edge of your bed, leaving you a heating pad to ease the pain in your stomach. "I'll try to buy everything as quickly as possible." He strokes your hair, seeing how hard it is for you. He knows that you don’t feel well and menstruation is very exhausting for you, especially on the first day.
