The voice bellowed through the hall ways, “Lights out! No more talking, smiling, giggly or even blinking.”
“Get into your beds. Lie down flat. Snore if you like or must. “
“BUT! No moving or singing. And if you must pray, don’t let God or me hear any sounds from your bed space.” The voice concluded.
She lay in the bed, quiet as a mouse.Her legs squeezed as tight as possible.
She needed to pee. You either peed before lights out or roughly 30 minutes after.
No one had mentioned bladder training on the school curriculum.

Poor girl. That is a tough situation to be in.
Hostel rules are strict.
Hope she could rush.

Dear Chioma,
It seems there should be an exception for bladderly needs. 😉 I could feel the tension in this.
Shalom,

Boarding school wasn’t easy.
No exception for anyone.

No wonder people end up with anxiety and schools which are supposed to nurture and educate, often have a lot to answer for. My bladder is probably my weakest link and it can be tough.
Best wishes,

I am sure she knows all the tricks to outwit the rules. Just do not pee the bed is the first personal rule, the second is blame poltergeist.
