When Ben got back to the room he was glad that the light was already off, he had been worried that tonight all attention would be on him, making the bulge of his nappy all the more likely to get noticed. As he crawled into bed he was surprised to feel the plastic sheet under him, Mike must have put it back on, and he smiled to know his friend was looking out for him. However, he then realised that Mike must have put it on in front of everyone, what if he’d told them that he really was a bedwetter? Although they teased him with the nickname, Bedwetting Ben, Ben didn’t think they realised he was an actual bedwetter. Of course now they’d seen him wet himself, but at least they didn’t know his secret. But if Mike had put on the plastic sheet in front of everyone surely they’d know now?

 

Ben awoke early that morning, and was able to change out of his nappy, shower, and then go back to bed before anyone else awoke. He lay in bed collecting his thoughts, and when he heard Richard wake up and nudge Nathan awake he quickly shut his eyes, pretending to be asleep. He didn’t want to start being teased this morning.

“Let’s see if he wet the bed,” giggled Nathan, moving towards Ben’s bed.

“Sleeping like a baby,” laughed Richard, as he whipped the duvet off of Ben.

Ben rolled over, trying to act like he’s just been woken up, “Wh-what?” he said sleepily, trying to sound confused, “Give it back.”
