:47:01
I'm— I'm afraid.
I'm frightened, you know.

:47:06
- Mm-hmm.
- I've never been afraid of anything...

:47:08
before in my life.
:47:10
When I was little, I was—
:47:13
I don't know.
I was afraid of—

:47:17
that I was gonna get
my clothes dirty, or...

:47:19
you know, I was gonna
get bad marks on my report.

:47:24
U- U-Uhh.
:47:26
I was afraid when I got my period
for the first time.

:47:30
You know, l—
Well, I got my period...

:47:33
when I was, uh—
when I was 13, you know.

:47:37
And most of my—Well—
:47:39
Some of my friends—
:47:42
Well, my best friend—
:47:47
My best friend
was Karen Fienstein...

:47:50
and she got her period
when she was 12, you know.

:47:53
So I thought there was something wrong
with me, because I didn't get my period.

:47:57
So I had a terrible year
from 12 to 13.

:47:59
You know, I mean, I-I-I—
:48:01
I thought there was really
something wrong with me.

:48:04
You know, every time
I went to the bathroom...

:48:06
I would sort of, you know,
:48:08
- Check and see if l—
Yeah, if I got my period yet.
- And go look.

:48:11
And, suddenly l—
:48:14
O- Oh, I was wearing—
I was wearing these...

:48:17
dumb little white lace panties...
:48:19
you know, that my grandmother
had given me for my birthday or some—

:48:22
And, um...
:48:25
suddenly I felt this...
:48:28
wet, warm feeling
in my crotch, you know.

:48:32
And then l—
:48:35
I felt sort of excited, you know.
:48:39
But then I felt afraid.
:48:42
I was afraid. I was afraid...
:48:44
that I was going to get
blood all over the... chair...

:48:49
all over my pants.
:48:52
Then the bell rang,
and then the class got up...

:48:56
and then I saw Karen, you know.
:48:58
And I smiled, and I winked
at her, and I went like that.
