Jack in nappies

Chapter 9: An Unlikely Friendship

Jack walked into his physics lesson and sat next to Kieran. "So do you have diarrhoea or something?" he asked while giggling. Jack punched him in the arm and told him to shut up. Mr Clarke saw this and told them both to behave. "Today we are doing a practical, and after what happened last time, I will be choosing who works with each other using a random name generator" He said as he turned on the whiteboard showing the results of the random name generator. It said Jack and James. "This is going to be awkward" Jack thought to himself as everyone got up and sat next to their partner.

"Hey" James said, smiling. "Hi" Jack responded without making eye contact. "Are you alright?" James asked him. Jack sat quietly. James was one of the most popular kids in school and is friends with people who have bullied Jack in the past. Jack could not comprehend why he was actually being nice to him despite seeing him literally wet himself on 3 occasions.  "What have I done to you man, I literally helped you out and you have just been rude me" he lowered his voice "look, I haven't told anyone what happened". "James! Would you like to teach the class?" Mr Clarke shouted. "I'm sorry sir." James replied. Jack realised he was being too harsh on James.

After Mr Clarke had finished going through the instructions for the experiment everyone got up and grabbed the equipment and began setting it up. "I'm sorry for being rude to you" Jack said to James "It's cool man don't worry" he replied "So do you have any clue what we are meant to be doing" James asked. "Nope" Jack said "Damn, we should have paid attention, Yo Alyssa!" Alyssa turned around and said "Yes James" in a flirtatious manner. James tried to ignore her very flirty tone of voice, he was used to it as most girls in the school had a crush on him. "What the fuck are we supposed to be doing" he asked. Alyssa explained everything to the 2 boys. After she was finished she turned back around. "I think she likes you!" Jack whispered, trying to be friendly. "I know, she's not my type though" he said. "What is your type?" Jack asked. James took a long pause before saying "Don't worry about it".

The 2 boys spent the rest of the lesson talking and joking with each other until it was end of the lesson and time to go home.

On the walk home Kieran asked "So you're friends with James Hill now?". "Yeah I guess" Jack replied. "I didn't think that guy even knew who we are" Kieran joked. "He's friends with Darren and those lot though, you should be careful with him remember how they used to beat you up" he warned. "I don't think James is like that" Jack said. "You like him don't you" Kieran asked. "No" Jack said smiling. "Stop lying man" he laughed. "Ok maybe" Jack finally admitted. "Bro you realise he's like 100% straight like there's no way" said Kieran. "Yeah I know" said Jack

When Jack got home he opened his phone to see a notification on instagram: "@not_james_hill has requested to follow you". He pressed accept. Then he had a nap, he decided to leave his pull up on just in case.

A few hours later, Jack woke up to the front door closing and he heard his mum call out "Jack come here now". He felt his pull up and realised it was soaked. He had wet it while sleeping. He went downstairs and saw his mum standing in the hallway. "The school nurse called me again, did you poo yourself at school?". Jack started crying he had completely forgotten that happened. "Jack you're 14 years old this can't keep happening". "I'm sorry mum I was running to the toilet and then a teacher stopped me because I was running then it just came out I couldn't hold it" he said with tears pouring down his face. His mum wrapped her arms around him. She sniffed then said "Jack have you just wet yourself?". "No" he lied. She pulled his trousers down revealing a soaking wet pull up "Jack you've wet yourself again" She said angrily. "I'm sorry, I had a nap and it just happened" he whimpered. "Go and have a shower" His mum said before walking off.

After Jack finished in the shower he saw a message from James: "Hey". Jack was reluctant to respond as he knew he was probably going to ask him about the nappies.

Suddenly he heard a knock at his door. It was his dad. "Hi, did you shit yourself earlier?" he was very straight to the point. Jack really didn't want to talk about it. "Please leave me alone" he said softly. "No, we have to talk about this, you're not a baby anymore, the occasional wetting yourself is one thing, but shitting yourself like this is ridiculous. Are you even trying to use the toilet?" His dad rambled. Jack was seething at what his dad just said to him "Dad it was an accident I'm sorry now please leave me alone." His dad slammed the door. Jack sat there crying. He looked at the notification on his phone and opened it. "hi" he typed.
