Boring physics just went on and on. I took notes the best I could and tried to make them readable so that Maria would be able to use them. Finally, the bell rang for lunch. I stood, but Robbie stopped me.

“Be sure to be ready at seven. It will be so much fun to have a date that I really like.” He smiled and I smiled back.

I ran out the door because I knew I had to pee and I wanted a clean diaper before I had to go eat lunch. I decided to try the bathroom, but was thwarted when I got there. Amanda stood in front of me. She wasn’t wearing her gray leggings. Instead she wore her PE shorts.

She pushed me in the chest so I couldn’t get by her. “You aren’t using the bathroom today, especially after you told Amy I let you in.” She looked down. “Amy kept me out of the bathroom in punishment.”

I looked at her again. A blue flowing shirt did not match the bright red PE shorts she wore. “Oh my gosh, you wet your pants today.”

She gave me an angry look. “Shush.”

“I don’t know why we allow Amy to bully us,” I said.

“Of course we know why,” said Amanda. “She found your lost cell phone and used it to take the photos that became the sexting scandal. If we don’t play along, she’ll reveal everything, so please do her homework. I should have never let her convince me to let her take those sexy pictures of me.

“Which is why I can’t tell on her for making me pee myself all the time,” I said.

“Maria, you got to do something. I’m so afraid those pictures will come out and I’ll get…we’ll get put on a list and have to live under an overpass.”

Clara looked over at me. “How do you stop a blackmailer?”

I shrugged. “I still won’t do her homework,” I said.

“So keep peeing yourself then,” said Amanda.

I turned and walked toward the nurse’s office.

“So we can’t tell on Amy,” I said, “even if it wouldn’t brand Maria as a snitch, it’s her old phone with the sexing pictures and if Amy thinks she is losing control….”

“She’ll arrange for a principal to find the lost phone and realize there are bad pictures on there. Ones that she took, by the way.”

I got to the door of the nurse’s office and relaxed as I wet my diaper. I knocked and looked at the nurse as she opened the door. “I had another accident today,” I said.

She opened the door, and let me in. “Maria, we got to stop this. The diapers are supposed to be only for just in case. You know you can become dependent on them?”

I did not know that. “I couldn’t make it,” I said as I hopped up on the cot in the nurses office.

She lifted my skirt and smiled. “The skirt makes it easier,” she said.

“I didn’t think about that,” I answered.

She quickly changed me and then set me on my way.

No one sat with me as I took my lunch in the cafeteria. I sat alone until the bell range before heading to health class. I sat down and then Amy sat next to me.

“So are you going to the dance tonight?” she asked.

I nodded.

“Well be sure you vote my costume as the best, or else.”

I frowned. “Are you going to let me in the bathroom at the dance?” I asked.

She laughed. “If I have a good time, then so do you.”
