I coughed a second time and heard from inside the bathroom, “Someone’s coming!” and then heard the flush of a toilet, which I knew meant that whoever was in the bathroom smoking, had just flushed their cigarettes down the commode. If I hadn’t been choking on the smoke, I would have found that fact funny, because even though the cigarettes were gone, they couldn’t hide the fact that the bathroom was literally swallowed up in smoke.
I coughed a third time and those that had been inside the bathroom, rushed out of the door to escape. They must have thought I was a teacher or, I am sure, they wouldn’t have panicked like that. I was knocked backwards onto my butt with a splash; as three boys bolted out the door and ran down the hallway without slowing down to see who they had just run over. I had the presence of mind to look to see, who it was and sure enough, it was Larry, Fish, and BB.
I think I swore as I stood up and realized what had just happened.
“Oh no!” I whimpered, as I saw that my pants weren’t just wet, they were soaked. There was even pee dripping from the hem of my pants onto my shoes and a large puddle had formed beneath me.
Despite the smoke, there was no way I was going to stand there in the hallway wearing pee pants. I mean, what if someone else came along?
For half a second I thought about the pink room, that Stacks had taken me to, in the school office. However, as soon as I thought about it, I also thought about, how it would be to walk into the office and have everyone see me in wet pants again.
I took a deep breath, held it, and ran into the bathroom to the furthest stall, where I locked myself inside. The tears flowed down my face, much the way the pee had flowed down my legs seconds before. When I couldn’t stand it any longer, I let my breath out and gasped, then coughed hard, causing a short shot of pee to shoot from my penis again.
“What am I going to do?” I sobbed and huffed, “I can’t let anyone see me like this!”
And that easily it was decided; I wasn’t going back to class! I was going to run out of the school and I wasn’t going to stop running until I was safely in my bedroom.
I opened the door to the stall and began running with no care for how much noise I was making as my shoes pounded the polished floors.
