I never got many Valentines cards when I was a child. I was the school nerd, an idiot in my youth, and was virtually ignored by the girls, even the so-called uglier ones. So I didn’t have a proper girlfriend (if you can call it that) until I went to college.
I had a crush on this young blonde girl. the length of her hair flowed down to her backside, had hazel-coloured eyes and a lovely smile. I suspose she took pity on me when nobody else would talk to me, and we became good friends. I soon became infatuated with her, and what a chance to show my undying love for her was on St Valentine’s Day. I was in two minds about getting her something- either a ring, or a box of chocolates.
On that day in question, I now wished I hadn’t. I went to college with flowers and a box of chocolates because my Mum wouldn’t give any extra pocket money. I kept them safely in a bag to stop them being knocked about. I went to my lessons as normal, forgetting that I needed to pee. I grabbed my penis disreetly through my trousers. I was more concerned about seeing this girl than emptying my bladder.
I hadn’t seen her all morning, and when lunchtime came, I went to look for her, but still couldn’t find her- until I walked into the college canteen, where I saw the girl have a long lingering kiss with another boy. I was so shocked, I began to wet myself. The pee soaked my trousers, forming a mini-puddle on the canteen floor. Other students looked at what I was doing and roared with laughter- I hadn’t realised what I’d done until I looked down at the wetness I had created. The girl and this other boy walked towards me and looked at my wet patch. They both laughed at me as well.
I got so depressed and walked straight home, missing afternoon lessons. I rushed upstairs to my bedroom and cried for hours without bothering to take my wet trousers off. Throughout the college years, I was known as “The Boy Who Wet Himself”. I’m still reminded of that incident as some students from that time still come to me to laugh about it. That incident was so embarrassing.
