One time I was having a sleepover.I invited ALL my
friends! At night, when everyone was in bed, i went
to the toilet. What i didn't know was that my friend
Becky, went to the toilet before me! When i saw
blood, EVERYWHERE, i screamed! I woke the
WHOLE house! I thought it was me who was bleeding, not Becky! When i'd realised, you can
definitely say i was embarassed! My mum even said that i had ruined her beauty sleep! Next time i
have a sleepover, i'm not going to panic, when i see
blood!
