#16: ....And PMS Is He Missus

Saturdays were my designated relaxation days. So

on Friday nights, I'd finish all my homework, even if it

keeps me up until the ungodly hours of the morning

because I get to sleep the next day. However, when

I woke up way earlier than I intended that glorious

Saturday morning, I knew immediately something was

off. It didn't take long for me to figure it out.

All I had to do was take note of the fact that my boobs

were killing me, I was feeling grumpier than

usual, and my calendar said it was almost time. l could

cry. My day of relaxation just flew out the window and

got run over by a bus.

I reached for my phone with all the intention of

bitching to Charlie about my crisis, but a text from Ryuu made me sidetrack.

Ryuu:

"Guess what your name is on my phone??"

He sent it around six in the morning...on a Saturday.

Me:

"What could require you to wake up so early on a Saturday morning??"

It took him a while to answer.

Ryuu:

"Gym."

My nose scrunched up in disgust.

Me:

"Eeww."

Ryuu:

"I know right? Anyways. Got any guesses??"

I sighed.

Me:

"Do l have to?"

Ryuu:

"Nah. I'll tell you."

Ryuu:

"Butterfly!"

Butterfly? It took me a second. Oh.

Me:

"Because of the spirit animal test??"

Ryuu:

"Yep!"

Before l got a chance to reply, he sent another text.

Ryuu:

"So, what are your plans for today?"

He shouldn't have asked. I felt my shoulders slump.

Me:

"Do you know how I told you about My theory about P.E.?"

Ryuu:

"Yeah?"

Me:

"I'm pretty sure PMS is Satan's missus, and periods are the waterfall she bathes in."

Ryuu:

"Lovely..."

Me:

"Yeah...so you might wanna stay away from me for the next few days or so."

Ryuu:

"Copy that."

I didn't bother replying after that, opting instead to get

back on track and send Megan a text about everything

wrong with my life, but halfway through, he sent me

another message.

Ryuu:

"Anything l can do?"

And I was crying.

Damn you, Mrs. Satan!
