Want to answer more questions in the Sexual Health and Reproduction category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Menstrual/Period Issues?
It needs to be more personal than a text. If it's hard to talk about face to face write her a note and put it where it's in a spot only she would find it in.
She will be happy for you and will want to make sure you are comfortable and answer questions. Remember that she was you at your age and found talking about this or experiencing it as embarrassing as you might. Just remember that she's your friend in all of this.
I think she would feel sad about you being worked up over talking about it. You should be able to approach her about anything especially this.
Another way that is subtle would be to go to a grocery store or drugstore when she does and put a female product in the cart for yourself and leave it to her to talk about it later. Either way it's okay to tell her. Let her know you feel embarrassed either in your note or when she wants to talk. You'll be okay.

Cool, I haven't started yet, but God, I want it over with, but just rite her a note or something, text her so that it's not face to face.

Congratulations! Welcome to 40+ years of monthly inconvenience.
I'm pretty shy about things like this too. I told my mother right after I got mine though because my confusion about what to do outweighed any embarrassment haha.
I just called my mom into the bathroom and said "I think I got my period" then she hugged me and showed me how to use a pad. Woop, done.
Really, she's your mother, she's a girl, she was your age before and she's been through the exact same thing you have. She's probably suspected for some time now that you'd be getting your period soon anyway.
Granted it is a bit embarrassing but you really shouldn't let that bother you much. (: Just basically do what I did, call her into a room so it's just the two of you and tell her.
Or if face to face makes you nervous, how about texting her or even calling her while she's out? I've also heard of some people writing their moms a little note saying they got their periods and putting it in a place only their moms would find it.
