Darcie McCallister had worked hard for her position as head cheerleader, queen bee, and all around most popular girl in school. She balanced her cruelty with kindness and ruled the school with a seemingly effortless hand, and even though she had lots of “friends”, she didn’t actually have any real friends to speak of. Perhaps part of this was because of her refusal to let people visit her house, or to visit other people’s houses. Because you see, even though Darcie was the most popular girl in school, she was also a…
BEDWETTER!
Darcie had wet the bed every night for as long as she could remember. At first her parents had told her that she would grow out of it, then as she got older with no sign of a dry night in sight, they took her to doctors who also told her she would grow out of it. By the time she was sixteen, Darcie was pretty sure they were lying to her. After all, what had been embarrassing when she was seven and humiliating when she was twelve was now something far beyond mortifying.
Mornings for Darcie began the same way every day: she’d wake up and for just a second, she thought she had made it through the night without peeing herself. Then she would feel the damp, heavy sag of her goodnite and realize that even though her bed was dry, she was not.
Of course, sometimes she woke up and knew immediately that she had wet her bed, because she had peed so much that the goodnite leaked and left puddles of urine underneath her body. That was why, despite her protests that they were loud and advertised to everyone who entered her room that she wet the bed, she still had rubber sheets underneath the linen ones.
The rubber sheets, along with the boxes of goodnites in her closet and the fact that she could never be sure if she’d wake up dry (although she was always sure to wake up wearing what was basically a diaper) were the reasons Darcie could never have friends over. And since she couldn’t risk accidentally falling asleep at someone’s house, she didn’t visit anyone else’s house after six or seven at night. (She accidentally fell asleep at a neighbor’s house once when she was eleven. It was humiliating and nothing she ever wants to repeat.)
Darcie was lucky that her school’s cheer camp only ran during the day and didn’t require an overnight stay, but unfortunately her luck was about to run out because...
A. The Junior Class was taking a mandatory field trip
B. Their Cheer Squad was merging with another school’s, and their cheer camp was overnight
