2:47PM only three more minutes until school is finally out for summer and Kayla couldn’t wait . Not only was this the last summer before she starts high school but this is the first summer that she gets to go to the swimming pool alone .

The swimming pool isn’t just a regular swimming pool you see , it’s the spot where everything happens and everyone is . The swimming pool is only for the prettiest of girls and hottest of guys so if you get invited, you are so in ! Your life can change for better or for worst at the pool and Kayla was just about to find out how true that was .

“Where’s my pink biking top Mom ?!”, screamed Kayla as she tried to hurry and get ready before Amanda and Carla came to pick her up .

“I put it in your second drawer where it belongs Honey, not on your bathroom floor where you always seem to leave it “, said Kayla’s mom.

A loud honk came from outside and as Kayla looked out the window she seen both her friends Amanda and Carla chasing after Tiny, Amanda’s pet chihuahua. Tiny is terrified of water so whenever she hears the word “pool” she tends to freak out . As Kayla rushes downstairs her dad hands her his lucky corkscrew and she looks at him very confused and says ,

“Uhhh thanks Dad ? I think ? “

He responds, “ Kayla I had this corkscrew in my pocket the day I met your mother our first day at the swimming pool and I’ve been in love ever since . You take it and you go fall in love”

It’s time . The pool is open and it’s packed with the coolest of kids , in walks Kayla and her girls and the day couldn’t be better . Until . Kayla felt a wet spot on her leg and backside and when she went to touch it a “not so cool kid” screamed, “Ewwww Kayla got her period !!!!”

Kayla ran and she ran fast ! It couldn’t be ? No way ? Her period just ended last week ? Not today !? At the pool?! In front of everyone ?! That’s it Life was over and it hadn’t even begun yet .

As soon as she got home she told her mother everything and she tried everything to cheer Kayla up to go back to the pool . Nothing would work , so she called Amanda and Carla to come cheer Kayla up . Once they got there Tiny ran upstairs and to Kaylas bathing suit she left on her bathroom floor and began to lick it like it was the best dog treat ever . GROSS !

The girls screamed in disgust until Kayla picked up what she thought were period stained bottoms , only to find out it was a ketchup stain from the punctured ketchup packet she had in her bag . Turns out dads corkscrew wasn’t so lucky for Kayla . How will high school go ? Will she be period girl forever ?
