I'm sorry you don't have a mom or friend you could ask
That's scarry. It sounds like it could be a period, but you could check with the school nurse tomorrow.

It can take a year or even more to get going. The first couple of times could be exactly like you describe. Don't be scared -- if you can, check with your mom or an adult family friend, or you can always go to the school nurse. I'm sure the nurse is used to answering this very question.

How old are you?

It's your period. Give it a day or two and you will be bleeding. That's just how mine started -- a million years ago. Be sure to wear pads for a bit.

It's your period-- first one can be like that. I know mine was exactly like that the first time. Then the next month it was more "real." Definitely wear pads just in case it surprises you.

Mine was exactly the same at age 11. I had that happen a few times, sporadically, over the next year. In other words, it didn't occur every 28 days like it's supposed to. My body had to work up to that I guess. It was brown at first. There is so little blood, what does come out is old (brown). Definitely carry pads with you because you never know when it might start. After a year or so, they became more regular for me, but still were only like every six weeks. Sometimes they lasted a day. Sometimes 4 days. Nothing was regular for me until I was about 15 or so. Just letting you know that it can be different for everyone, and it's all still within the range of normal.
