The Weird Scholarship – Chapter Nine.
I woke to Bets yelling at us to get up. “It’s morning and we are going to go swimming,” she said. “You can’t lie in bed all day. It’s nine o’clock already. You don’t want to sleep away the day when there is so much nature to see.”
I rolled to my back and stretched before looking around. Cassie had a blank look on her face, but she had her hands over her eyes as if she was rubbing them. Melody just jumped out of bed walked over closer to Cassie and I.
Veronica’s hair was everywhere. She was already going through her stuff and when she bent down, I could see her sleep shorts were wet. She grabbed a clean diaper and threw it angrily onto her bed along with her changing supplies. When she looked my way, she seethed with anger. Darlene just sat on her bed and looked at her feet. Bella stood and stretched. Her t-shirt rode up to display her wet diaper.
Bella was the first to speak. “Where can we shower?”
Bets smiled. “There are shower facilities across the meadow. Get you stuff and lets go.”
Five minutes later, we all trooped across the meadow. We must have been a sight since we were all in our pajamas. Cassie did put on a shirt, but the rest of us wore what we slept in. Veronica was still cross and I heard her and Bella talking.
“Did you leak last night?” asked Bella. “Are you wearing Depends?”
“Of course I’m wearing diapers. They just suck for sleeping in.” Veronica still wore her soaked shorts.
“I meant that you don’t really have good ones,” said Bella.
“I don’t want them to show under my clothes. I’m not wearing thick ones with blocks on them like that girl.” She pointed at Melody’s diaper.
“I don’t know about the blocks, but thicker is better.” She lifted her t-shirt to reveal her diaper. “No baby blocks, but they are thicker and my nightie is dry. I’ll loan you one for tonight if you want to try. You’ll feel better in the morning.”
“I’d feel better in the morning if I didn’t have to wear diapers at all.” Veronica bore her teeth and it looked like she was going to snarl at Bella.
Darleen grabbed Bella by the arm and pulled her toward me. “Don’t mine Veronica. She looks like she needs coffee.”
“Or an enema,” said Cassie. “She has something up her ass.”
I elbowed her in the ribs. “Shush.” She gave me an angry look and I remembered what Cassie was capable of. Was she going to beat me now?
I turned to apologize, but she just smiled. “Geeze, it was only a joke.”
“Remember,” I said. “You are supposed to be nice.”
She frowned.
Melody grabbed stood on my other side. She looked a bit worried and reached to grab my hand. I let her hold it until we got to a door in the back of the cafeteria building. It had a woman’s bathroom symbol and another symbol indicating showers. We walked and the other girls race toward the showers.
I found a bench and threw my bag on it before stripping down to shower myself. Melody stood quietly beside me and just stood there. She looked worried. I looked at her. “Are you all right?”
“I always take baths. I never took a shower before.”
I sighed. Did she have to be that helpless. “Well there are probably not any bathtubs in the dorms either, so get used to it.”
“But…,”
“Just get undressed.” I took off my t-shirt and diaper and then wrap a towel around me. I looked over to Melody and she saw she was doing the same. At least I didn’t have to undress her like a baby. I put a hand on her shoulder. “It will be okay.”
There were only four position in the shower and Bets, Cassie, Veronica, and Bella were first, so Melody, Darlene, and I had to wait.
I looked into the shower. Most of the other girls were finished. I took Melody by the hand and pushed her under the shower and then took my position under the other shower head. I cleaned the best could and then returned to my towel and started to dry off. Melody was still under the shower soaping up. She looked happy in there. I imagined how her life must have been before camp. Her mommy probably bathed her like a toddler. I dried off and then pulled my bikini out of my bag. I kept my towel around my waist and put on the bikini top. Before I grabbed the panties and put them on, Bets voice rang out clearly.
“Girls, hurry up and get dressed. We are going on an hour long nature hike on the way to go swimming. Be sure you bring some extra diapers. We are going to be gone from the cabin until noon.”
I grabbed a clean diaper and taped it on. I found some clean shorts in my bag and pulled them on and stuffed the bikini bottoms in my pocket. Melody came out of the shower naked and wet. I tossed her a towel and she started to dry off.
“Can you diaper me please?” she asked.
I shook my head. “Cassie is supposed to do that from now on,” I said. I motioned over to Cassie and she came over.
“Hurry and get dressed, Baby,” she said when she saw Melody wasn’t ready.
I sighed. “We talked about this, Cassie. You need to help her. Besides, she’s not a baby. She’s really smart if you get to talk to her.”
Cassie frowned. “Well, Smarty Pants, lay down on the bench.” She put one of Melody’s building block diapers under her and pulled the front up between her legs. She was about to tape it up, but I had to tease her.
“You must really like changing diapers,” I said.
“No, I don’t. Bets is making me.”
“She’s making you do it until she learns how to do it herself,” I said. “If you don’t teach her, she’s not going to learn and you’ll have to keep doing it.”
She scowled, but looked at Melody. “See, you lay on the diaper and then you pull the front up to the same level.” She described the process as she did so.
I was enjoying Cassies discomfort until Darlene tugged on my arm. “Can you give me a hand?”
She held a untaped diaper between her legs and she looked cross. I helped her down on the bench. “I always tape the bottom tapes first,” I said. “Then you can make sure the top ones go over your hips so your diaper doesn’t sag too much.” I taped them in place. I never thought I would be changing diapers. I was glad Kara made me wear them and change myself in the week before camp. I would have looked stupid if I didn’t know what I was doing.
When I was done, I brushed my hair the best I could and tied it in a pony tail. Toothbrushing followed. I decided to skip the whole makeup thing. It was just us girls and it would wash off while swimming.
Cassie and I were the last to leave the bathroom when all was said and done. I smiled at the group. “Shall we be moving?” asked Bets.
Melody took Cassie by the hand and they followed Bets and the other girls. I was surprised Cassie let her hold her hand. She looked back at me with a look of discomfort. I smiled and walked beside Darlene.
We walked into the woods and Bets pointed out all the trees and what types they were. After about twenty minutes, she pointed out some mushrooms growing on a tree like a shelf. I thought it was pretty cool, but the other girls were bored.
“Nora, what is your room like?” asked Darlene. “I bet you have a cool and more adult-looking room. Mine has pink walls and a stupid canopy bed.”
I frowned. “I’d actually like a room like that. Mine has a boarded up window and black scorch marks on my carpet.”
“Really? What happened?”
“My house got raided by the IRS. They came with guns. It was scary because I was still in bed and they smashed through the windows. They wouldn’t let me get dressed until they were done searching the house.”
“Whoa. That sounds embarrassing. Were they nice about your diapers?”
I had to stop and think about it. I hadn’t been in diapers then. I wondered what would have happened if it was the case. “No.” I remembered the SWAT team teasing me about wetting myself when the flashbang grenade flew through the window. I don’t they would have been very nice if I was in diapers then. “They even handcuffed me so I wasn’t able to pull my shirt down and I was obviously very wet.”
Sitting in wet panties for three hours was embarrassing. Wetting on my carpet because I was still in handcuffs was even worse.
“Oh my,” she said. “I though I had it bad with a mother who won’t leave me alone. You have it far worse than me.”
I felt bad. I was gaming these people for free college and Darlene felt bad for me. I felt disgusted with myself.
“Well, it’s good you got the scholarship since your money dried up,” she said.
I nodded. “So tell me more about yourself.”
“Well, I have four brothers. I’m the only girl. I’m the youngest.” She looked around. “Nothing really exciting happened to me. Well that I remember. I was in a car accident between first and second grade. I don’t remember it at all. I do remember coming home from the hospital and having to wear diapers again. My mother is a stay at home mom, so she could make sure I have anything I want. She writes all the time”.
“I had to be quiet and play with my toys or read a book in her office so she could keep an eye on me. I really didn’t need constant supervision. The only freedom I got was when mother dropped me off at school and there I had to deal with people who bullied me.”
“Oh wow,” I said. “I thought she was over the top when she dropped you off at the van.”
“I was surprised by that too. I thought I’d get a reprieve now that I am eighteen, but I think she is a habitual meddler in my life.” She sighed. “It worked out. I didn’t have anything to do at home but do homework. At least mother didn’t hover over me and second guess me on school work. Everything else was hovering.” She twirled around. “Do you see how I dress?”
I did look at her. She wore nighties to bed, which was just personal preference, I thought, but she also wore weird looking clothes. Her jeans were just a bit like mom-jeans. I mean, sure she would need the extra room in the seat, so I never expected anything. However, her shirts were a bit dressy. I hadn’t really seen her wear a t-shirt the whole trip. She only wore button-down blouses. “It’s not that bad,” I said.
She pointed to Melody just ahead. She wore a pink t-shirt with a Disney princess on the front. She wore a short white jeans skirt and I swear I could see her diaper peaking out as she walked. “At least I am not as babyish as she is.”
“Well, from what I hear, her mother makes yours seem normal. You know she never had a vaccination in her life?”
“What? My mother wouldn’t let up about the vaccine thing. I think I had to get a flu shot at least twice a year. My shot record is meticulously recorded in volume eighteen of my baby book.”
“Volume eighteen?” I had a book with baby pictures and scrapbook items, but it stopped getting updated when I was three. “I do have a shelf with all my participation trophies, but I don’t care about those. I got my softball trophies for sitting on the bench.”
“My brothers had some of those. They never kept them. They only kept their championship trophies. I never got to play sports. It wasn’t safe for someone with my condition.” She shook her head. “I only have a severed nerve from where a pen impaled me during the accident. It’s only the nerve that tells me when I have to go pee. It’s not like I am in danger of hurting my back or jarring something if I get hurt doing sports.”
“So why couldn’t you do anything?”
“I think mother feels guilty because she thinks she couldn’t protect me,” she said. “I have to be watched over so no more harm will come to me. You know, I am not prepared to be on my own. Mother didn’t even teach me to change myself. It’s ridiculous.”
“We’ll work on that,” I said.
“I appreciate it.” She looked at me. “You know, I noticed you are pretty together. You step up and help out. I don’t know what you did to Cassie.” She pointed at Cassie and Melody holding hands as they walked. “She was so mean before. Bella told me Bets was going to throw her out of the program.”
“Bella was wrong.” I didn’t want to tell her about our messy diapers. I didn’t want to have the other girls find that out about me. “Well, Bets just asked Cassie to help out Melody. She wasn’t in trouble.”
“We all heard Cassie’s outburst,” said Darlene. “Something went down.”
“It’s a private matter,” I said. “Bets said it was over and forgotten.” I must have appeared angry.
“I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to pry.”
“Forget it,” I said.
“So what made you choose engineering?” I asked.
“I had the grades for it. We don’t have much money because there were a lot of medical bills and mother quit her job to take care of me. I couldn’t get any other scholarships because you have to be involved in extracurricular activities to actually be awarded most scholarship. I don’t even know what I want to do when I grow up. Never had any experience that would help me decide.”
“I actually wanted to teach English,” I admitted. “I want to write an awesome bodice ripper with Fabio on the cover.”
“Ick,” she said. “Fabio is pretty dumb. He can barely speak English. Mother got to meet him when he was in a photo shoot for her cover.”
“You’re kidding. Your mother wrote a book with Fabio on the cover?”
“Yeah, ick.”
“I love him,” I said. “I used to lay in bed and read his books with one hand under the blankets.” I blushed.
“Eww,” she said.
“Oh, come on, surely you have. Everyone does it.”
“I don’t. You really missed the part where my mother supervises every aspect of my life.” She looked at me. “Just eww. That was too much information.”
“Oh look,” I said, desperate to change the conversation. “Bets is pointing out a deer. Be quiet or it will run away.”
The deer came closer to us and I saw that it had an orange tag in its ear. It saw us and turned and bounded away. “Are they domesticated?” I asked Bets. “What’s with the ear tags?”
“No,” said Bets. “It’s a state park. They mark them to manage the wildlife. Some people like to hunt here in the winter.”
“Oh, no,” said Melody. “Someone would kill that sweet little deer? It’s like when Bambi’s mother got shot.”
“Stop being a baby,” said Cassie. “There are too many deer anyway.”
Bets glared at Cassie for an instant and then we resumed our march.
“That was weird,” said Darlene.
“Cassie had to grow up too soon,” I said. “She doesn’t have the patience to deal with Melody tactfully.”
We walked a while longer and then came out of the woods behind the locker rooms by the lake. Cassie and I had been there earlier. Behind the building was a picnic table and on it was a basket. “Oh good. The food is here,” said Bets. “We can have out picnic after our swim.”
Swimming would be fun. I didn’t know how much it would reveal about me or the other girls. I’ve never been so humiliated in my life.
