Morgan curled up in the nurse’s office, arms around her abdomen as she waited for the Midol to start working. Her cramps were awful today, so awful she almost stayed home. But she had a test today and the last thing she needed was missing a test, so she came to school anyway. And she wished she hadn’t all morning. She probably flunked the test, anyway, she couldn’t seem to get past the pain in her abdomen. Fuck cramps. Fuck everything.
