Unfortunately, Melody was unable to find any sanitary napkins after searching every corner of her school bag. She remembered putting them in though, as she had always been in the habit of packing her bags since a young age. Preparing for the next day was something of a routine for her, so she did not have any doubt in her mind that she had placed the sanitary napkins in her school bag. As a result, it was rather puzzling that they disappeared right after she was done with gym class.
Melody had no choice but to borrow them from her classmates.
"Do any of you have sanitary napkins?"
"Could you lend me a sanitary napkin? I'll bring a new one tomorrow for you."
Alas, all the students answered her with a resounding, "No."
Since no one was able to give her sanitary napkins, she could only sit dejectedly in her seat. All her pocket money was taken away by Wendy, and she could not buy another pack. The money Helen gave her was not much to begin with, and Wendy would always come up with various reasons to demand her pocket money.
Melody ran out of ideas. She was bound to soil her clothes if she did not find a solution soon.
"Are you going to have your period today?" Wendy sat in front of her and looked at her with a mocking expression. "Why are you so careless? Don't you know that you should wear a pad during your period?"
Wendy was a year older than Melody, but she was behind a grade because she never did well in her studies. As a result, they ended up in the same class. Wendy was a lively character that contrasted starkly with Melody's tendency to isolate herself in silence. As a result, Wendy was more popular than Melody among their classmates.
Those close to Wendy ostracized Melody, and by extension, it became an unspoken rule among the other classmates. With tears in her eyes, Melody said, "Could you buy a pack of sanitary napkins for me? I—"
"I'd love to if I could, but I don't have any money!" interrupted Wendy.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Day I Kissed An Older Man
This book is a good book, but it’s too short. I hope it has a part two👍🏾...
This book is getting boring now. I loved Jeremy, Corinne, Sonny and Lucas. The story needs to end. or bring back more of Jeremy, etc....
I haven't skipped any chapter at all. Though the story is good, it keeps going back to base one. I think this has no ending at all and somehow after reading more than 2500 chapters it's kinda tiring already. They have drained all the thrills....
Great writing! I almost cried when Helen hit Melody! So sad! 😭 can’t wait to see how the relationship with her and Lucas develops though. So tired of the repetitive problems with different people....
Yikes my body tenses so much, my moods change as the scenes change. It leaves me wanting to continue reading....
my heart breaks for melody, so many ups and downs, i shed a few tears when lucas walked by melody carrying thalia, and melody stayed quiet while watching them leave. i find myself getting into character as if im one. i dont remember ever feeling like that in any other books. im thankful the 10 chapters/day. waiting for the next 10...
We have updated progress from 7 chapters/day to 10 chapters/day.<3...
i love grandma Beatrice, there needs to me more people like her in the world straight forward and to the point, no beating around the bush and worrying about offending anyone, why pretend to be someone your not....
looking forward to more chapters, The same thing is happening to Melody as what happened to Luna, if Luna was back maybe she would set Lucas straight, can't wait to see how Lucas handles the situations that will arrive. Poor Melody....
ya Lucas pay more attention to Melody lets see what happens waiting for more chapters thanks...
