Mark ran to the showers bare naked while I, wearing only my socks, ran to the sink and soaked the pants completely, ringing them out several times.
When I got back to my gym locker, Mark was just coming back from the shower and I saw his hair wasn’t wet.
“That was good thinking, not getting your hair wet. Now here, put these on.” I said as I passed him my underwear.
He gave me a funny look, then put them on and then my pants as well.
He put his shirt back on since the edge of it was just a bit damp. The he tucked it into my pants that he was now wearing and tightened up the belt.
I slipped my gym shorts back on. Then I put on his pants that were a bit heavy from the water and I felt the wetness through my shorts almost immediately.
“Whoa, that’s cold!” I exclaimed. Then I pulled my gym t-shirt on followed by my regular shirt over that.
“Why are you putting on both shirts?” he asked.
“To help keep me warm in Social Studies.” I said.
“Oh yeah, that’s good thinking.” He said as he smiled at me for the first time.
I sat down to put my shoes on again and felt the cold really hit my bottom. I realized that there was little chance that his pants would dry while setting in class, but it was too late. I was committed now.
“Hey, how come I’ve never seen you around before?” I asked.
“We just moved here last week.” Mark said while tying his shoes.
“We don’t have any classes together do we?” I remarked.
“Yeah. Actually, I’m in your Math class and gym too of course.”
I didn’t say anything, but I was surprised that he had been in the class for a week now and I didn’t have any idea how I could have not known it. Then it hit me that on Monday of last week, I had come in late cause I had to go to the dentist to get a cavity filled and that is probably when the teacher introduced him to everyone.
Once we were both dressed, we agreed to meet after school at the jungle gym and we would figure out what to do from there. I told him to go out first and act like nothing was wrong and don’t stop for anyone or anything. I told him to just keep walking till he was out of everyone’s site. Then I explained that I would wait about five minutes and then I would come out and run like the wind so everyone would be less likely to see that I had on wet pants.
Well, the plan worked great, except I ended up with a cold for about 4 days and still had to come to school. Mark and I did meet up at the jungle gym after school and we decided to go to his house to swap our pants back again. Mark and I became the best of friends from that day on. We always wore each other’s clothes and when we slept at each other’s house, we would sleep in the same bed together. Once we both got too big for that, it was more comfortable to crash in sleeping bags on our bedroom floors.
Did Mark have a regular wetting problem? Yes, he sure did. He not only wet every night, but he also had several accidents at school. Even so, he and I were able to keep everyone from knowing about it.
