Camp Sissy Curls (After Camp)--part44
At the dance, Penelope and I were almost immediately beset by two boys. It shouldn't have been a surprise to me. Penelope was very outgoing and quite pretty. And though I was shy, I knew I was equally pretty.
We had a typical awkward chat with them until they asked us to dance.
"Sure!" Penelope said to the one who'd asked her.
"I'm sorry, I really shouldn't." I said to the other. "I'm just getting over a bout of the stomach flu and I'm afraid I may still be contageous."
The boy looked disappointed and Penelope looked surprised as they left me alone for the dance floor.
But I wasn't alone for long. Soon a boy, and then another, approached me and struck up conversations and asked me to dance. I declined both with the same "flu" excuse. So I decided to try to be a little less conspicuous and headed for the punch table.
As I sipped on a cup of punch, Penelope came over. "Hey Steph, I saw a couple of boys talking to you while I was dancing. They were cute! Did they ask you to dance?"
"Yeah, but I told them no." I said.
"Why??? They were really hot!" She exclaimed. "Are you really sick with the stomach flu?"
"Yeah, I think I'm coming down with the bug." I lied.
"Well that may be Steph, but I think a big part of it is that you're just very shy with boys. Right?"
I nodded my head yes and said. "I don't have a lot of experience with boys." And she had no way of knowing why I had no interest in them, of course.
"Well you need to get experienced Stephie." She said. "Dance with the next boy who asks you!"
No sooner said, then I was asked again to dance. I figured my "flu" excuse was wearing thin and replied. "Maybe later. Please excuse me. I need to use the Ladies Room."
As I walked away heading for it, I realized that was a stupid excuse. Girls lavatories were supposed to be off limits to me. And though I certainly had an interest in girls, I surely had no interest in their lavatories. But there was no going back now. And Penelope accompanied me.
"Are you gonna be sick Steph?" She asked as we stepped inside.
"No, I just want to powder my nose." And I walked to the mirror and took my compact out of my purse. Penelope did likewise.
As we powdered our faces, she said."C'mon Steph, dance with the next boy who asks. You can do it. Don't be such a tease to the boys!"
"Tease", I devilishly thought as we left the restroom. Maybe I could have a little fun with that! I'd certainly had much more than my share of teasing in the last, almost, year. Maybe I could inflict a little teasing on someone else for a change. I was definitely a good actor, well--actress, I should say.
Out on the dance floor, two boys quickly approached us. They introduced themselves. Phil and Bret. Why, I'm not really sure, but I stupidly decided to play the "coquette". As we all chatted, I girlishly tilted my head at a slight angle and smiled and even batted my eyelashes a bit. I placed one hand on my hip and gently rocked side to side while using my other hand to play with my long, perky ponytail. I could have won an Oscar.
Bret was standing in front of me as we talked and, before long, he held out his arms a little toward me and asked. "Would you please dance with me Stephie?"
Before I could get even a single word out, Penelope pushed me into his arms and exclaimed. "She'd love to!!!"
Now, I really regretted my foolish "coquette" act. I was stuck!
Unfortunately, it was a slow dance. He put his arms around my waist and pulled my body up against his and placed his neck next to mine, with his head resting lightly on my shoulder. I didn't really know how to dance, especially as a girl! I gritted my teeth and loosely put my arms around his waist and just followed his lead. And it was GROSS!!!
"You smell really great Stephie!" Bret said, as he nuzzled my neck. I said nothing in reply, just praying for the song to end.
As we danced on, he gently kissed me behind my left ear. And I thought I was going to puke! Now I totally regretted my stupid "coquette" act. When he moved his hands down from my waist to my bum, I pushed him away.
"I'm not that kind of girl Bret!" And I raced off for the shelter of the Ladies Room.
A minute or so later, Penelope joined me there. "What happened Steph? Bret's a real hunk!"
"He put the moves on me!" I exclaimed. And that was all I offered.
As we left the Ladies Romm, I knew I should play the "wallflower", as best I could, instead of the "coquette". And I succeeded pretty well with that. And Penelope kept busy dancing.
It was 9:30. The dance would be over at 11:00. To pick my spirits up, I went over to the deejay to request "Penny Lane".
"Yup, I got it." He said. "I'll play it before too long."
As I walked back for the seat I'd taken in a corner out of the way, I felt an ominous rumbling in my stomach. And I remembered I hadn't pooped since the night before. And I stupidly hadn't tried to poop before leaving for the dance. But I didn't panic. I'd already broken the Ladies Room "taboo" twice, so I just headed there to relieve myself. I certainly didn't want to use my diapers at the dance.
I went inside and, to my horror, the place was packed. And the stalls all had long lines of girls waiting to use them. I got in a line to wait my turn. There were never waits like this in a Mens Room, I thought.
The wait seemed endless! And my need to poop was becoming quite urgent. After about five minutes, with two girls still ahead of me in line, I knew I couldn't wait long enough to get a stall.
Again, I didn't panic. It was time for a cool head and quick thinking. I left the lavatory and grabbed my coat and walked quickly outside. If I had to poop my diapers, outside was the place to do it.
Outside, well away from the entrance and out of view, I exploded into my diapers. A huge, stinky load!
But I remained pretty calm about it. Again, I kept a cool head in this awful situation. I thought a moment and reached into my purse for my cell phone.
"Hello Grandma? I'm afraid I had an accident at the dance!" --PAUSE-- "No, not that kind of accident. I'm not hurt. I'm afraid I had an accident in my diapers!" --PAUSE-- "Yeah, I wet and pooped them and I don't want to wait here til the end of the dance and have to drive home with Penelope and her mother in poopy diapers." --PAUSE-- "Yeah, please do come and get me. I'm sorry!" --PAUSE-- "I'm outside. I managed to make it out here before messing myself. Just pull up out front and I'll get in. And thanks Grandma."
Grandma was quick to respond to my plight. It was only about fifteen minutes before I saw her car pull up at the curbside. And I had avoided detection. I opened the back door and said. "Thanks for getting here so quickly Grandma. I'll sit in the back. I'm afraid I'm pretty stinky!"
"Oh, stinky diapers aren't gonna kill me sweetie!" She said.
As we drove, Grandma was very understanding and didn't scold me at all. "Did anyone know you messed yourself Steph?" She asked.
"No, thank goodness. Nobody knows about my accident. Not even Penelope."
"Well, I'm sorry your night ended on such a sour note honey." She said, as she cranked her window open for some fresh air. "But I'm glad you were able to keep your poopy diapers a secret."
"Oh God, me too!!! Thanks again for picking me up so quickly Grandma!"
"You're welcome Stephanie."
"Speaking of Penelope, I better call her to let her know I'm on my way home with you." I said. "She's gotta be wondering where I went!"
"What are you going to tell her Steph?" Grandma asked.
"Well, I'm gonna make something up, but I know what I'll say." I said, as I punched her number on my cell phone.
"Hi Penelope?" --PAUSE-- "Yeah, I'm very sorry. I'm afraid I got sick and threw up! You know, the stomach flu." --PAUSE-- "No, I couldn't. The lines were too long. But I managed to get outside before I puked. But I got some on my skirt." --PAUSE-- "Thanks, but I called my Grandmother to come and get me and I'm riding home with her now." --PAUSE-- (And I cheered up a little as I heard "Penny Lane" playing in the background at the dance) -- "Yeah, sorry!" --PAUSE-- "Yup, thanks. I'll call you in the morning."
We got home and I headed upstairs to get out of my poopy, wet diapers and into the shower and ready for bed. Squeaky clean, I put on my nitey and went back downstairs and sat on the sofa next to Grandma and cuddled with her.
"Thanks so much for coming to get me Grandma." I said and I kissed her on the cheek.
"That's okay sweetheart. No problem. That's what grandma's are for!" And she kissed me back. "I'm just glad that no one knew what really happened and you didn't embarrass yourself."
"Not as glad as I am!" I said and I kissed her good night. "I'm heading for bed. I'm pooped!"
She giggled at my slip of the tongue. And I giggled back. "I mean, I'm tired!"
As I started to doze off in bed, I thought about the very eventful and not very pleasant evening at the dance. I thought about the very dumb and foolish things I'd done there. And I thought about how I'd forgotten to use the toilet before leaving for the dance. I'd think twice about being so stupid again! But I was very grateful that I had managed to come out of it all unscathed.
