Holders of Iron House

[Markj9494 557]

Hey guys, here is my next story commission, university tales seem to be all the rage at the moment so it was fun to throw my hat into the ring.

The build up for this story is slow, it might not be for everyone as such but I hope you enjoy!

 

 

The holders of Iron house

 

Chapter 1: Arrival

The amber light of a desk lamp filled the darkened room, a shadow cast by the unmoving figure of a tall woman sitting in a high back chair near the curtained window.

“Finally” she muttered to herself, looking down at the electronic tablet in her hands as a wicked smile appeared on her shadowy face. It had taken months if not years of waiting and planning but finally she thought she had what she was looking for. The exact reason she had been put in charge of this establishment.

A soft knock at the door caught her attention, a brief moment of panic flashing across her mind before she quickly put the device in her desk drawer and slid it closed. The mahogany wood clunking softly as she took a moment to compose herself, her hands folding together as she rested them on the top of her desk.

 

 

As Eloise stood in the university hallway, she couldn’t help but be slightly nervous feeling the multitude of butterflies gathering in her stomach. Trying to distract herself she studied the large door in front of her, her eyes falling on an old inscription carved into the wood “Strenuis Ardua Cedunt”. The faded lettering meaning nothing to her, but the age and way they had been inscribed was yet another indication of the calibre of university she had been accepted into.

She was already a couple of minutes late after getting lost in the large admin building and she didn’t want to give a bad impression on her first day, stepping forwards she knocked the door a couple of times.

After a brief pause a muffled “come in” passed through the thick wood, easing her nerves slightly.  Turning the handle she stepped into the large office, its occupant sitting at a large desk near the centre of the room which curiously still had its curtains drawn.

“Um…I’m Eloise Western” She said awkwardly walking towards the woman’s desk, her hands fidgeting slightly behind her back.

“Ah yes, the French student that will be joining us. Welcome, and I must say your English is excellent.” The woman in front of her said, standing to greet and shake her hand.

“Thank you, my farther worked for the embassy so I had good teachers.” Eloise responded, kicking herself for the unneeded exposition. This wasn’t a job interview she had already gotten in, but there was something about this room that was making her uneasy.

“That explains it, please take a seat.” The woman said, indicating to the chair in front of her desk.

“Thank you” Eloise said, perching slightly on the edge of her seat.

“No need to be nervous, I greet all our foreign students. It’s a good way to gauge language skills and see if there is anything we can do to help in your transition. Moving away can be difficult for young students, especially to another country.” The smartly dressed woman said, somewhat addressing the elephant in the room.

“Thank you” Eloise said again, sighing in relief. She had been slightly late to be accepted, going through their secondary referral programme and had been worried there had been a mix up or even that they were reconsidering her place.

“Unfortunately, you have missed the welcome talks that were held yesterday. But I do have a couple of things I can give you.” Rummaging in her desk the woman pulled out a small parcel of items and placed it on the desk.

“So, here is your welcome pack, it includes all the information about what is on the campus, opening times and a map.” She said handing across a binder that Eloise took from her. “Here is your class schedule, there is also an online version if you would prefer. All your log on information is in the pack too. Finally here is a smart watch and fitness tracker that we give to all our students.”

“A fitness tracker?” Eloise questioned, picking up the metallic watch and giving it a once over in her hand.

“Oh don’t worry, we don’t actually track your fitness.” She said smiling, “we pride ourselves on student wellbeing and try to make sure you all have something like this so that you can look after your own health. University can be a stressful time and letting our students have the ability to track these things has proven effective at lowering burn out and breakdowns. Think of it as an early warning system for stress levels and a way of letting you realise how hard you are working. Equally a number of…extracurricular, activities may be run by people who ask you to show them things before taking part in anything.”

“Extracurricular?”

“Yes, well as you know this university is largely a medical institution and as such there is a constant development of emerging fields. Some of which may ask students to take part in…they are all safe of course.” She added, a little too quickly for Eloise’s liking.

“Those watches also function as student id and key card. So, if you plan on using anything on the campus you will need to keep that on you at all times. We are on the very cutting edge of what we do here, can’t have just anyone walking around the buildings can we.” Looking up at the woman’s face there it was again, that smile that was becoming less and less convincing with everything that was leaving the poshly dressed woman’s mouth.

“Now then, I don’t want to take up any more of your time. I’m sure you have things to move in, which reminds me. You will be staying in Iron house, its marked on the map in your pack.” She finished up, motion her hand to indicate for Eloise to stand.

“Ok, well thank you again for the introduction.” Eloise said, thankful for the information but a little perturbed by some of the other information she had been given. She was already getting the feeling that there was more to this university than met the eye.

“My pleasure, oh and Eloise. Welcome to Galgani University”

Nodding and waving the small pack of things at the school master she quietly closed the door behind her and let out a sigh. She didn’t know what it was, but that woman really put her on edge for some reason.

Slipping the watch onto her wrist she heard it beep, the screen lighting up and displaying her name and the current time. Scrolling through it as she walked down the road she studied the various apps from fitness and biometrics to a lesson planner and map, this thing really seemed to have it all. It couldn’t have been cheap to give every student one of these, but then again Galgani was one of the top universities.

Following the little triangle on the screen Eloise quickly found herself stood outside a large three-story building, the elegant and new housing far exceeding her wildest expectations. The usual damp and dingy student accommodation she had been told about and seen on tv shows was nowhere to be seen.

The door to the building opened quickly, a skinny blonde-haired woman throwing a bag over her shoulder and rushing out.

“Sorry” she hastily said, pushing past Eloise and running towards the main campus as she quickly fastened name badge to her shirt.

Despite being taken aback slightly, Eloise paused taking a moment to double check she was in the right place. Walking slowly up the small path she tentatively turned the door handle, a beep from her watch and the door at the same time clearly indicating that even these doors were locked to anyone but those living in them.

Pushing the door open she was greeted by the sight of a dozen or more carboard boxes and plastic tubs strewn across the large hallway.

“What did you forget this time?” A voice called out from the doorway to her left.

“Um, hello?” Eloise said quietly to the unseen person. A head suddenly poking out of the doorway to her right with a surprised look on her face.

“Oh…sorry I thought you were Summer coming back for something….Who are you?”

“Im Eloise, I think im your new house mate.” She replied. The slightly suspicious look on the short brunette’s face disappearing instantly.

“Cool, sorry I didn’t mean to be weird I just didn’t recognise you and I thought everyone had moved in yesterday.” the woman said, stepping out of her room. “Im Kay by the way” she said holding out her hand.

“Guys, we have a new flatmate” She shouted loudly, the cry reverberating up the open house and soon footsteps could be heard as a number of people came down the stairs.

“No need to look worried, no one bites” Kay joked, Eloise apparently unable to keep the apprehension off her face as the group formed around her.

“Hey, I’m Allie” the first woman introduced herself, stepping off the bottom step of the stairs and shaking her hand. The blond-haired woman clearly making the most of being a student, currently dressed in a pair of jogging bottoms and loose-fitting top that was several sizes too large for her. Although judging by her untidy hair, it wouldn’t have surprised Eloise if she had only just woken up despite it being almost lunch time.

“Eloise” she responded with her name.

“Ah bonjour” the next woman said, the tall black-haired woman looking as If she was about to head out for a run, dressed entirely almost head to toe in form fitting spandex.

“You speak French?” Eloise asked, she hadn’t expected to meet anyone who did here.

“Uh, well actually no. But you’re French right?” she asked, her cheeks slightly reddening as she was called out.

“Yes, how could you tell?”

“Faint accent and the name is a bit of a giveaway. Im Vanessa” the confident woman announced “and that’s Julia and Zara” she said, pointing to the two remaining women who simply waved at her. “That’s all of us that are in at the moment, I think Summer is at work and Lucy is out somewhere doing something.”

“Its nice to meet you all” Eloise said, glad to see Kay had been right about the group being friendly. They all seemed to be getting along with each other which was another good sign.

“Do you need a hand moving your stuff, are you parked outside?” The tall black-haired woman introduced as Julia asked, pushing her large black rimmed glasses up her nose slightly.

“Uh, no thanks. I’ve got everything in here.” Eloise replied, stepping to the side and revealing the small suitcase she had with her.

“Is that all you brought?” Kay asked, clearly shocked and accidentally revealing that all of these boxes probably belonged to her.

“Yeah, I mean I came on a plane and I moved around a lot as a kid so I never really had much stuff.”

“Don’t let Lucy hear that, she will have a field day taking you out for some retail therapy.” Vanessa laughed.

“So…do you all know each other then?” Eloise asked, uncomfortable that she might have suddenly joined a group where everyone knew each other well already. Would she be able to integrate herself into the group, she had never really had a close group of friends growing up.

“Well we are all third years and we shared some of the same classes.” Julia responded.

“So we knew of each other, and I lived with Lucy in second year too. But this is the first time the rest of us have lived together… or really spent any time other than lectures or the occasional night out with each other.” Vanessa said, with Kay nodding along to everything she said.

“So you’ve got nothing to worry about” Zara added, her beaming smile instantly removing all of Eloise’s worries. The darker skinned woman putting her at ease before her brow furrowed. “We should get going Vanessa, the class is in like 10 minutes”

“Wait, classes have already started!” Eloise asked nervously, starting to fumble with her watch to check her timetable.

“Oh sorry, no we have an exercise class up at the campus gym. I didn’t mean to panic you. But you are more than welcome to join us, if you have anything to wear in that tiny bag of yours?”

Putting a hand to her chest Eloise breathed a sigh of relief, “Maybe next time.”

“Sure thing” Zara finished, nodding her head at the door to Vanessa as the two of them left the newbie to the others.

 

 

“So your room is the last door on the left, kitchen and lounge are the doorway on the end there and finally there are two shower cubicles up the stairs on the right” She said. “Don’t worry the door doesn’t lead straight in, there are another two doors, so you probably won’t walk in on anyone using them.” Kay said, a telling smile on her face suggesting she had done that at some point.

“Ok thank you, I guess ill go unpack” Eloise responded, still feeling a little overwhelmed by all the new faces.

“Shouldn’t take you long” Allie joked as they all went back to their own rooms.

She wasn’t wrong, but walking into her room Eloise was still pleasantly surprised by it. The relatively barebones bedroom had a large bed, chest of drawers and tiny ensuite bathroom. It looked more like a cupboard or afterthought than a real bathroom, but at least it would give her some privacy. Putting her belongings away she sat on the bed, the realisation of where she was and what she was doing setting in for the first time. She wasn’t the sort of person to get home sick, but even still she could feel the anxiousness about her new start away from everything she knew getting the better of her.

Picking up her mug she grabbed the small bag of goodies her mum had given her and headed for the kitchen. If there was one thing her mother always use to say, it was that a cup of tea can help any situation feel better. Although that could have just been her British heritage coming through.

Nervously playing with the Uni welcome pack Eloise walked through the doorway she had been shown earlier and found a rather large kitchen and dinging room combo. The numbered cupboards matching the room numbers, opening her designated one she was unsurprised to find it completely empty. She would have to find a shop to grab some things before they shut later.

Turning on the kettle she brought out her mug, one of the few belongings she had made sure to bring with her. An old and browned piece of porcelain she had used for as long as she could remember. The outside of it emblazoned with a phoenix logo from the soccer team that played in the town her mother came from in New Zealand. She had never been, but perhaps this summer would be the perfect opportunity to travel and relax after her studies.

Watching the steam rise from the cup as she poured the water in, she could already feel its calming effects.

“There is milk in the door if you want any” Julia said having silently entered the room barefoot.

“Thank you that’s very kind, but I prefer it black.” Eloise responded, recovering from being slightly startled by her new housemate.

“Fair, you looking at what optional to do?” The tall woman said, indicating to the welcome pack Eloise had left laying open on the table.

“Optional?”

“Yeah, so you don’t get any in first term but next term you can pick from a few different modules. Kind of like choosing your major subject for the next two years, but think of them as kind of taster sessions.”

“Oh ok, so does everyone here do the same major?”

“No, im not 100% sure what Summer does, but I think the rest of us are all on different majors. But we all do the Urodynamics module each term, its pretty much mandatory if you haven’t chosen something like that as your main subject.”

“Ah ok, I guess those are the classes you all have together?”

“Some of us yeah, but there are so many people there are multiple classes so its not guaranteed.”

“I suppose this place is known for it, so it makes sense they make everyone study it. It just surprised me how many other course options there are, its almost like any other non-specialised academy.” Eloise said, taking a sip of her slightly too warm tea.

“True, we are mainly set up for Urology and you will see its impact on everything you study even if its kind of unrelated…” She paused for a moment, clearly thinking about some memory. “what subject are you doing by the way?” Julia asked, cracking a couple of eggs into a frying pan.

“Im actually just a urology student, I mean this is one of the top-rated institutions for it” Eloise responded.

“Cool! We don’t get as many as you might expect. I think a lot of people decide that the few modules we do on it are enough, they can be kind of intense.”

“Intense?”

“Lets just say there are a lot of practical’s and the school motto will make a lot more sense after your first end of year test”

“I second that, Allie said, sauntering through the door and sliding a couple of pieces of bread into the toaster after briefly checking for blue spots. “Strenuis Ardua Cedunt, Adversity Yields to Endeavour” She added, a hint of sarcasm evident in how she spoke.

“But don’t worry its nothing bad, plus the modules will prepare you for them. I didn’t have any problems with them and even Allie scored some of the highest marks” Julia said, worried they were freaking the new student out.

“Hey, what do you mean EVEN Allie.” But as she unscrewed the cap to her milk and recoiled from the smell, any feigned annoyance disappeared. “We need new milk?” She said, her eyes still narrowed by the smell as she went to pour it down the sink.

“How long have you all been here, I thought someone said you al moved in yesterday?” Eloise said, wondering how the milk could already be gone off I that was true.

“Oh yeah we did, I brought this from home. I don’t think a day in the car was good for it.” Allie replied, clearly understanding the meaning behind the question.

“Oh ok, well I need to grab some food later if you wouldn’t mind showing me the shop in a bit?” Eloise asked.

“Sure thing, I’ll just have my breakfast and we can head down. Its not far.”

“Perfect, Thank you!”

Sitting back at the table with her cup of tea she was quickly joined by Julia and Allie who was carrying a large plate of what looked like half a loaf of toast covered in Nutella, paired with an almost comically giant sports direct mug of coffee.

Flipping through her Phone she took a quick photo of her tea, sending it to her mum and dad to let them know she was settling in fine. Part of her wondering what they would get up to now they had no one to look after, her and her two brothers having all moved out over the last few years.

Looking at her welcome pack Eloise familiarised herself with the history of the campus, much of which she was already familiar with and was a large part of why she had chosen this university to study at. The pages filled with photos of smiling students, lab equipment and things you could buy from the student shop. Glancing at the faces of the students she wondered for a moment if any of them needed to pee while their photos were being taken. Blinking and frowning at herself she was caught out by her strange thoughts which she wasn’t sure why it had come to her. Although going off what her housemates had just said and the classes she would be involved with, it seemed like a strong possibility some of them did need to pee. Their hidden desperation caught on camera for all students to look through at their leisure.

“Alright then, should we head out?” Allie asked, tipping the rest of her coffee into her mouth and standing up.

“Yeah sure” Eloise replied, glad to have something to distract her from her own weird and invasive thoughts. Walking towards the door It swung open, revealing a slightly sweaty looking Vanessa and Zara, returning from their exercise class and swigging from large water bottles.

“Hey, you guys off out?” Zara asked, wiping her head with her forearm.

“Just going to the shop if either of you need anything?” Allie replied.

“Actually, mind if I join you. I still need some odds and ends” Vanessa said, throwing her gym bag into the corner, draining the rest of her bottle before turning back towards the door. “ We can give you a quick tour of the campus on the way if you want?” The dark-haired woman added.

“That would be really nice if you don’t mind.” Eloise responded. She had been nervous about who she would be paired up with, but it seemed as if she had gotten lucky with everyone here being so nice to her. Plus the fact they were 3^rd years was really going to help her get to grips with this place quickly, something she was hoping to do so she could really focus on her studies. While it may have been true the grades didn’t matter this year, she was sure that falling behind now would hurt her later.

“Can we stop by the coffee shop?” Allie asked, her large morning cup apparently not enough to satiate the caffeine fiend.  

Walking down the hill from the house it seemed all the university housing had been put in one area, the roads filled with students coming and going about their businesses. Teary eyed parents waving goodbye to their children who were starting university for the first time, many looking far happier than their parents.

“So there is a pub at the end of the road down there, but no one really goes to it other than some Philosophy students.” Vanessa said, making Eloise turn around to face her new tour guide.

“Then if you go down that road you have the best take away as well as the onsite pub, bar and a social club. They are all run by the student’s union so the booze is pretty cheap. Then there is a courtyard coming up that has the coffee shop, a bike shop and probably some other things that I’ve not used so who knows….” She finished summarising, a few moments of silence falling between them as Eloise tried to locate everything Vanessa had just said.

“Wow, great tour” Allie added sarcastically.

“Well I mean pub, Bar and Coffee shop what else do you need?”

“How about the main teaching blocks?”

“Oh yeah, they are over the other side of the park that’s over there. If you go between the two rows of shops, carry on following the path and it takes you straight to the Uro-block.”

“Awesome, Thank you by the way.” Eloise said, actually grateful for the quick tour even if Allie didn’t think much of it.

“See, someone appreciates my tour. Also, all the other teaching blocks are connected to that one with signposts to them all inside and outside each door. So if you can get to that block, you should be able to find your way around from there. Oh, and before I forget that’s where the toilets are too.”

“What do you mean that’s where the toilets are, don’t most of these places have them too?”

“No, the only toilets are in the main teaching campus buildings.” Vanessa answered casually, as if it was perfectly normal for work places or establishments to be without one.

“And the house?” Eloise said quizzically, unless she had been given the only one?”

“Oh yeah, I forgot about that one in your room. I think there is one in each housing block, two in first year accommodation, but most people don’t really use them.”

“What do you mean?” Eloise asked again, still confused by the conversation.

I mean, most of us can hold it long enough to just go in the campus when we are there. If you cant hold It a few hours I’d be worried about surviving here for long. Plus a lot of the time things come up where you can get extra credits or even cash for helping out with studies of all kinds. No point in wasting a useful resource right.”

“So neither of you pee at home?” She asked, turning to look at Allie.

“I mean, I wouldn’t say never and I did a lot in first year before I really got myself under control. But honestly, I cant remember the last time I didn’t use a campus toilet.” She said casually as they walked towards the coffee shop. “Its kind of frowned upon for third years to be that needy, almost a sign of failing to lean and demonstrate what we are being taught.” She added.

“But haven’t you been here for a day already?”

“Yeah so?” Allie asked, reaching for the door handle and turning it.

“You haven’t gone in all that time?”

Vanessa couldn’t help but laugh behind her “Oh I forgot what it was like to be a freshman. Yeah, trust me over the next couple of years you will realise how inconvenient or costly it can be to pee and probably develop your own limits considerably. Although, even in first year a day wasn’t too hard for me, you might have to start working on it if you want to make the most of your time here.” She finished, the ending a little more harsh than perhaps she had meant it but the message was clear.

“Oh, ok” Eloise said slightly sheepishly, was it so unusual to pee as often as she did, would that affect her grades? She hadn’t considered all of the extra things she might have to do when applying to this university. Its renown for studying all things bladder based now taking on a new emphasis in her mind, not only theoretical but apparently physical.

“Hey, don’t look so glum. Everyone starts out like you, we have two years of experience on our side.” Allie tried to comfort her slightly. “And even the smallest bladders in first year are all much stronger now, Speaking of…” Allie smiled to herself as they approached the counter.

“Hey summer, Usual please”

“Hey Allie, sure thing.” The blonde said, smiling sweetly at her.

“Oh and this is our new housemate by the way.”

“Sorry I missed the move in” Summer said, offering her hand for Eloise to shake across the counter.

“No problem, nice to meet you too” Eloise said, smiling and shaking her hand.

“So I know Allie’s drink of choice, what are you after?”

“Oh sorry, I’m good thank you. They are just giving me a quick tour on the way to the shop.”

“Ah awesome. Yeah definitely feel like we have a good house this year”

“Its only been one day” Allie joked, accepting her Coffee and paying for it with her watch that seemed identical to the one Eloise currently had on. 

“You going the Freshers initiation later?” Summer asked, looking back towards her and ignoring Allies comment.

“Initiation?” Eloise asked apprehensively

“Its just a party don’t worry, no cult sacrifices or anything like that. Just cheep booze and ice breakers.” Vanessa said, stepping up and giving her own order. “Almost everyone goes to it from Urodynamics. Mainly first years but some second and third years go along, I think we have been every year and its good fun.”

“Sure, I mean if you guys are going im happy to join.” Eloise said, not one for large parties but she was coming here to do new things so why not join in. Plus it would give her a good chance to get to know all her new housemates.

 

It was a thought she was starting to regret as she stood in her room a few hours later looking at herself in the mirror. Her plain looking body draped in a dress she had owned for years and had hoped to fill out into at least with her top half. But to her frustration, it seemed the late flowering her mum talked about simply wasn’t happening. Ruffling the cream coloured dress she had a quick spin before heading into the on suite bathroom. After her new friends comments earlier she had put this off far longer than she had intended, trying to push herself a little. Her desperation had hit new heights when she had been putting on her matching heels, the final straw that made her realise enough was enough. Shuffling quickly to the toilet she sat down and let out a powerful stream, staring at the blank wall opposite with her arms on her thighs she sighed deeply. What was she getting herself into tonight, hopefully nothing too crazy.

Hearing the excited rabble of a few others in the kitchen over her stream, she figured it was about time to join the others.

Stepping into the kitchen she was met with a new face, the one remaining person to meet.

“Uh, hi im guessing you are Lucy?” She asked, holding out a hand tentatively to the buxom and tall red head standing next to Vanessa.

“Don’t be silly” She said, waving away the hand and coming in for a deep hug. “It’s nice to meet you Eloise, you ready to have some fun tonight?” She asked, a glint of mischief in her eyes that told her that Lucy definitely was.

“Yeah, although im probably not going to drink too much with Lectures starting tomorrow.”

“Haven’t you seen the Email, classes are Cancelled!”  Lucy almost yelled happily.

Turning on her watch Eloise quickly scanned to the Email app and sure enough there it was.

“Dear Students,

Because of a major electrical fault, the main teaching blocks have been closed for your safety while essential repairs are made to the system. As such, all lessons are postponed until it is deemed safe to renter the buildings. Please keep an eye on your emails to make sure you don’t miss any updates.

Sincerely, Dean Mary Johnson.”

“Wait, so its just the teaching blocks that are closed, isn’t that a little weird?” Eloise asked, the others shrugging at her.

“Hey, it works for me. I think Julia might be the only one upset that classes are cancelled for now.” Kay joked.

“Yeah, so no excuses. Lets get ready to have fun!” Zara cheered loudly, the others joining in.

That voice of regret getting a little louder in the back of Eloise’s mind, but she just had to keep reminding herself, she was here to try and see new things.

Chapter 2: Pyramid Party.

“Is everything in place?” the partially obscured figure asked, her back to the only other person in the room as she looked out a large window over the campus.

“Yes Mam, as you requested.” Replied the woman behind her, taking a couple of steps forwards and placing something on the large desk.

“So all the delivery mechanisms are paired only to activate in close proximity to the list of devices I gave you?”

“Yes mam, they will only be activated if they remain in proximity for more than 5 seconds to the list of watches you gave me.”

“Perfect, you may go” she said, waving her hand at the door.

Sitting back in her chair she pulled open the bottom draw, sliding in a small plastic box from her desk and the signed order form that had just been returned to her.

Picking up a small white sphere from the desk she inspected it in her fingers, rolling it around as she watched the light bounce of its shiny surface.

Her hand stopped moving for a second, before she leaned over and dropped the orb into the glass of liquid she had been drinking from. Immediately it began to fizz and within seconds it had completely disappeared, leaving no trace as to its existence. “Perfect” she muttered again, sliding the drawer closed.

 

 

After waiting for Summer to get home after work and quickly change, the group of new friends made their way down the street towards the social club where tonight’s party was being organised.

“So how many people usually turn up to this thing?” Eloise asked

“Probably like 300 students, which is maybe two thirds of everyone.” Vanessa replied.

“Usually its mainly first years and some second and third years.” Kay replied, trying to pull something out of Julia’s small bag, the only one of them with something to carry items.

“So some tips for tonight if you want to survive it, don’t accept drinks from anyone else even if they are cute. Don’t mix alcohol, if you are doing beer stick to beer, and the same with any other type. Shots are good at getting you drunk but at £1 a go you may as well just get a regular drink and do it slower.” Kay continued, finally freeing her hand and whatever it was from Julia’s bag while the black haired woman looked on slightly annoyed.

“And take one of these, always cover your drink.” She said, handing over a folding straw lid combo thing.

“Why, I thought this was a nice university I cant believe anyone would drug you here.” Eloise said shocked, maybe she had made a mistake coming here after all.

“Oh no its not that, its…lets just say there is a stupid tradition where dickheads go around slipping diuretics into first year’s drinks. The straw turns blue if detects anything” Allie said, trying to calm her down although the casualness of that comment really didn’t fit the bill in her mind.

“Really!?”

“Yeah you would think that a bunch of students at one of the most prestigious Urodynamics and bladder holding universities would know better. But I suppose in terms of hazing its not too bad.” Vanessa added.

“For you, you were in a skirt when it happened and didn’t almost wet your Jeans every 5 minutes.” Summer interjected.

“Look, You were the one who refused to leave and besides you did better than Jess and Mandy”

“That’s because Jess got a triple dose and Mandy had the bladder of a mouse.” Vanesa said, a slight tone of mockery detectible as she spoke about the other women’s bladders.

“Is that even safe.” Eloise asked, still worried about what she was hearing.

“That’s the one upside, at least the people doing it knew enough to make it safeish.” Kay replied.

“Didn’t stop Jess pissing herself four times in two hours, including in the cab we shared back. I just wish I knew who did it so I could have passed on the bill. Lucy added, her own annoyance easy to hear although it was hard to tell if it was about her friends loss of control or the person who had caused it.

“Yeah, but you don’t have anything to worry about Eloise. It only seems to happen on this one night and seems to only be aimed at first years. So if you stick around us, people might just think you transferred into our year.” Zara said, the first and finally comforting thing any of them had said in the last minute.

“Oh ok, thank you for telling me all this and looking out for me.”

“Hey, your one of us now!” Allie added, grabbing her and pulling her into a half hug as they walked along. 

 

Walking into the large hall the first thing Eloise noticed was the giant pyramid of Beer crates that were piled up in the centre of the room. The second was the large crowd of students awkwardly standing around it.

“Result, another pyramid party” Allie said, high fiving Zara as they walked in.

“Pyramid party?” Eloise asked confused by yet another new custom.

“Yeah, so its kind of like a …oh never mind” Allie stopped, pointing towards a woman holding a clipboard and walking towards the pyramid.

“Hello Freshers!” The woman said enthusiastically, a chorus of cheers going around from the students.

“So tonight we have a very special way to introduce all you newbies into the university, in what we like to call a pyramid party.”

“Here in the centre we have £1,000 of beer that has been generously paid for by the students union and for tonight it is free, for most of you.” She said, pausing for dramatic effect. Walking over to the wall next to the door she put a sheet up, 10 large stars on the front of it.

“For most of you, the beer is free. But for those of you unable to hold your bladders with the true strength of a Galgani Alumni. Brining shame to our prestigious university the cost is high…£100.   The first 10 of you that lose control will have to pay it, but if you can finish the pyramid before 10 of you first years lose control then the cost is paid by us the third years!” Her sentiment followed by a number of playful boo’s from the third years. “Not only that, if you can finish this monumental task you all drink free for one term.”

A number of excited murmurs went around the crowd, a lot of the freshmen apparently liking their chances. But Eloise was doing the maths, there had to be 100 crates, each with two dozen cans…that was 2,400 beers that they needed to drink! There was no way the almost 300 students could drink that right? Or maybe that was the point. To give people an incentive to drink quickly and not realise that also meant filling their bladders quickly too. Although, if that was happening then if she paced herself she wouldn’t end up disgracing herself or having to fork out the money. The exuberant chanting and cheering for some of the women around her only putting her mind more at ease, they would all be drunk and desperate far before her.

“Without further ado, if Jenny would be so kind as to lock the door to stop people sneaking out. Let the games begin!” She shouted as a number of the students rushed the pyramid, tearing open the cardboard boxes and feverously ripping the beers out as if they had been given a time limit.

“Well may as well make the most of the free drinks.” Lucy said, walking towards the pile and carefully picking up and entire crate from the top and casually brining it back to their group as they stood around a tall table. Opening it she began handing around the cans, of which Eloise took one as did all the others. Kay finding a number of plastic cups and handing them around so they could each use their colour changing straws as an extra precaution.

“Shouldn’t you be trying to stop them finishing the pyramid?” Eloise asked, unsure why they would all drink the beer if it was increasing the chances of them paying for it.

“Oh no, trust us there is no way they can make it through all this. That’s 1,200 litres of beer right there.” Vanessa said, opening a can and pouring it into her cup.

“So has anyone ever finished it?” Eloise asked, intrigued by the event.

“I mean there are tales of it being done, something about a pair of massive bladdered women chugging it all back. But that was like 15 or more years ago and its gotten to the point where no one even knows who started it, and the dates change all the time so its probably just to give you guys hope.” Julia responded, sipping lightly on her straw and trying not to remove her purple lipstick on it.

Looking back to the pile she could see a number of women ravenously opening cans, tipping them back with reckless abandon as some of the beer spilled down their chins. She had seen things about binge drinking in England on the Television but this just seemed extreme, how could they possibly be enjoying what they were just shoving into their mouths. One of the women smashing the can against her head and crumpling it into a pile as her friends cheered, instantly going for another one.

“Holy shit, these first years are mad.” Lucy said, watching over Eloise’s shoulder at the spectacle in the middle of the room.

“They will burn themselves out pretty quick.” Vanessa said, dismissing the loud groups confidence.

But over the next hour she was proven right, the loud boisterous behaviour giving way to more drunken dancing and rambling at tables instead of the aggressive displays of drinking that were going on previously. Despite that Almost half the pile of beer was already gone and ignoring the desperate movements of a few of the women on the dance floor no one had lost it yet.

Finishing her third beer, Eloise was starting to feel her own bladder fill. It wasn’t uncomfortable and she knew there was a long way to go, but the one down side of the straw was that it made drinking all to easy. Plus, if there was one thing she was learning about Lucy it was that she liked to play host. A new can appearing almost instantly each time her cup ran empty, the busty red head sliding one over as if she was watching everyone drink and waiting for the split second they stopped. Staring down at the unopened carn in her mind she made a mental note not to drink this one too quickly. Sighing heavily she enjoyed the cold of the can against her hand for a moment before cracking it open and pouring the large beer into her glass.

Making small talk with Lucy they laughed at the others dancing on the floor at the centre of the room, a strange mixture of Allie and Kay reservedly stepping from side to side with their drinks in their hands while the others danced slightly provocatively around them.

“Oooh, Come on I love this one” Lucy said out of the blue, grabbing Eloise by the arm and dragging her out onto the dance floor. Feeling herself pressed amongst the crowd forming on the floor it seemed a lot of people liked this one, thankfully the slight buzz from the beer was enough to get over the awkwardness and join in. A chorus of voices screaming out the lyrics to a song that seemed to be a list of drinks someone called Danny boy was drinking before getting knocked down and getting up again. She might have had a good grasp of English but this made no sense to her, although the energy everyone seemed to have as they almost jumped around the floor was hard not to get wrapped up in. A broad smile spreading across her face as she couldn’t help but laugh, even Allie and Kay were screaming the lyrics at the top of their voices. 

But as quickly as it started the song ended and the instant dance party faded away as a number of cries about the next song rang around.

“Mr. Brightside, really?” Lucy joined in, walking back to their table and Eloise gladly following. As much fun as it had been to watch that, she had never been much of a dancer.

“Oh man, nothing like Chumawumba to work up a sweat” Lucy joked, her hand picking up a cup from the table and tipping it back as she downed it in one go.

“I think that might have been mine.” Eloise said, pointing to her friends cup as she tipped it back.

“Oh shit, sorry.”

“Oh no, its no problem, you didn’t use the straw so its fine.” She wasn’t a germaphobe, but sharing straws was a bit too far for her.

“My bad” Lucy said, handing Eloise her almost empty cup back and then sliding another beer towards her.

Drinking the last few centimetres of beer from the bottom she couldn’t help but notice a strange bitter taste. Her mind instantly reeling as she tried not to grimace at the thought of it being Lucy’s backwash. But stifling that thought she cracked open the next beer, pulling out the straw so she could pour it in more easily. But as she did she noticed the colour, it had gone blue! Someone had tried to dose her with diuretics.

“Uh……” she paused, she wasn’t sure why but something was stopping her.

“You good?” Lucy asked, a bemused look on her face.

“I…yeah, I just wanted to say thanks for tonight.”

“Oh, don’t tell me you are an emotional drunk” Lucy said a smirk on her face.

Laughing together Eloise was wondering why she hadn’t said anything. This was her friend and yet she could feel this deep desire to see this play out. The group of them had already gone days without a bathroom break and she was fascinated to see how long they could go. She had always been interested in this stuff, its why she was studying it after all.

Carefully sliding the straw back into the cup she filled it back up with beer, the amber liquid obscuring the colour of her straw that she hoped would slowly fade back to its normal clearer colour.

 

Soon the others joined them back at the table, the small talk resuming as the drinking intensified again. Watching the pile of crates in the centre only the bottom layer of the pyramid was left, giving the impression they were almost done. But in reality it was actually the largest layer with the most beers in it, possibly a cunning ploy from whoever had planned it.

“Oh my god!” a cry came from Eloise’s left, interrupting their chit chat.

Looking over a tall blonde-haired student was being watched by a small crowd as she became the first to loose control of her bladder. Streams of pee almost silently racing down her bare legs and pooling on the floor underneath her. But moments later she wasn’t the only one, her friend that had cried out after noticing her losing control burst out laughing, the second woman’s hands flying to the crotch of her jeans as she fought for control while drunkenly laughing. Moments later as her body heaved up and down the crotch of her light coloured jeans darkened. Streaks of wetness spreading rapidly down both her legs as she continued to uncontrollably laugh at her friend who was currently hiding her face, a pair of puddles growing beneath them and their other friends backing away.

A loud bell suddenly rang as the woman with the clipboard re appeared, “Looks like we have our first two losers!” she cheered. A cheer that most of the second and third years joined in on as they got a couple of steps closer to their free drinks. Taking the names and campus houses from the pair she was given a small compact camera, snapping a couple of pictures onto the special made device they instantly printed out in the shape of a star. Walking over to the board she slapped the stickers onto it, the first markings that left just 8 slots to go. The photos of the women in their wet clothing a reminder to the rest of them what fait would befall them if they couldn’t control themselves.

Looking back at the table she was surprised to see Summer dumping a second crate of beers on their table, cracking another one open and seemingly not shocked by what she had just seen.

“So have you signed up for any clubs yet?” She asked, handing out another round of beers that Eloise gladly didn’t partake in as her cup was still full.

“Um, no I haven’t found anything yet. I only got here today.”

“Oh yeah” Summer replied, a slightly drunk grin on her face that surprised Eloise, apparently her tolerance wasn’t that high. But given the tiny petite frame the blonde sported it was unsurprising that it would all go to her head.

“There is a freshers fare club fare tomorrow if you want to go?” Julia responded, its always worth a look around especially in your first year.

“Cool, that sounds great! So do all of you guys go to a club or something together?” Eloise asked the table.

“No not really, we actually have pretty different hobbies thinking about it. But we are all active like there are these gym classes and things we all talked about doing with each other yesterday. So you are more than welcome to join us, if that’s your thing?”

“Maybe, im not really a gym person but I guess its good to stay active” Eloise replied. In fact it was a little understatement from reality, she couldn’t honestly remember the last time she did something like a gym class. But maybe it would be more fun with friends.

“Sure thing, well the invite is always open” Julia added, noisily slurping from her straw.

Over the next hour the bell was rung 6 more times, many students fleeing the building after giving their details in the hope of making it home without wetting themselves. A couple of others loosing control out of sight of Eloise and the group, but the loud bell and cheers was a clear indication of what was happening. Putting a hand on her own bladder she could definitely feel it getting full, an uncomfortable pressure now constantly reminding her of all the beers she had drunk. But with only two stars left she was quietly confident that she would be able to manage, after all she had been making sure not to drink too much while it seemed everyone else was busily guzzling down beer after beer including her friends.

Glancing over at Lucy Eloise was still amazed at the strength of the woman’s bladder, despite having drunk what was probably a diuretic laden beer it seemed she felt no need to pee or was extremely good at hiding it.

A loud smashing noise caught her attention from the small talk they were taking part in, another clearly drunk student was currently walking into the ping pong table and had almost tipped it. A hand in her crotch she unsteadily stumbled forwards, streams of wetness running down her red pants and turning them a deep crimson as she walked. Clearly too drunk to even care, her eyes glassy and unfocused as she walked between the rows of students now staring at her, a large bulge slowly deflating in her abdomen as she wet herself. After noticing what was happening a friend of hers quickly ran over, her own legs scissoring madly as she fought her own desperation and lead the still peeing woman over to the front door to get her some air after her photo was taken unceremoniously by the woman in charge. Although given the dotting friends obveious desperation it could just have been a cunning way of getting out of the place without having pee herself or pay.

“What a mess” Vanessa said, looking on at the stream of liquid that had been left across the floor of the thankfully concrete building.

“These first years are kind of insane” Julia said half laughing.

“Come on, you remember what it was like in first year. First time away from the parents and given free beer.” Lucy said, opening yet another beer and handing out a few more left in the bottom of the third crate. “Dam, one short”

“Its ok, I think im gonna skip the next one” Eloise said.

“You doing ok?” Summer asked, a concerned look on her face.

“What, oh yeah im fine but I don’t know how you English can drink so much of this stuff” She said, looking at the beer can in front of her.

“Fair, well im going to get us another crate” Kay said, taking a step towards the middle and then stopping.

“Holy shit they have almost done it.” She said, a stunned look on her face.

Turning to the centre of the room there were just 4 crates sitting there, only 96 beers stood between the first years and the achievement so many had failed before.

“Damn, they have been putting it away.” Julia said, similarly surprised.

“They wont make it, just look at them” Vanessa said slightly coldly, but she was right. All around the room were clearly desperate students. Their hands buried in their crotches as they danced or writhed in desperation. Each one of them hoping not to be the last one to wet themselves, clutching themselves to maintain control for just a little while longer. The dancefloor now filled with mainly second and third years who were clearly unaffected by the volume of drinks they had consumed. Their years of study here training them to hold more and hold for longer than those arriving a few days earlier.

“So…do we get another crate?” Summer asked.

“Maybe just get us all another round and leave the others there.”

“Yeah, don’t want to be the third years that accidently get the freshers off the hook for this lot.”

Walking over summer opened the box, many of their first years eyeing her slightly as she pulled out three beers, tossing them to Zara who went with her and then grabbing another 3 for the rest of them.

Half an hour later and somehow everyone was still dry and more remarkably there was just one crate left, sitting in the centre of the room and surrounded by an almost spotlight affect from the light bulb above it. The third years had all clearly thought similarly to Vanessa and had unwittingly moved the first years so much closer to their goal by helping themselves. Now all eyes were looking towards the last crate, hoping and urging someone else to take it as the first years bordered on losing control and full to their ultimate final capacities. An awkward standoff now taking place between the various groups of friends, no one wanting to take it but knowing that each moment no one did was one moment closer to losing. The DJ was doing her best to keep the party atmosphere going, but even that was struggling as everyone waited for the inevitable to happen.

“Fuck it, come on girls!”  A rallying cry for action from a short brunette caught everyone attention as she strode forwards, a group of six or seven other desperate looking women following her awkwardly. Each obviously well past their comfortable limit, their legs shaking and hands gripping themselves tightly despite the embarrassment they were feeling. Although, given the rosy cheeks and unsteady walking Eloise was sure that most of them were too tipsy to even feel the embarrassment.

“Handing out a can to each of her friends she looked back when one refused to take it.

“Come on bella, Im dying I…I just cant take any more.”

“Do you want to pay for these, or do you want to go down in history Tina!”

“But…..” Bella tried again

“Look, the quicker we drink it the quicker you can pee and the quicker we win. If we do it fast enough, these wont even have time to reach your bladder!”

Reluctantly the desperate girl accepted the can into her hand as everyone in the room was now wrapped up in what was happening. This group of desperate students were going for it, could they do it? Or would it simply be too much?

Cracking their first cans open the speed most of them drank with was a tell-tale sign of how uncomfortable they were, the slow sips watched by the room as they forced more beer into their already bloated bodies. The gaseous drink filling them up uncomfortably with liquid and air at the same time.

Only two of the group seemed to have the ability to chug, the leader and another of her friends, the pair downing their beers and instantly grabbing another.

“Come on, just a couple more and we will have finished!” she cheered again, slurring her words a little bit. “Go Lexi!” she shouted to her friend already halfway through the second beer, her eyes glazing over as she drank. Her mind focussed and body acting like a machine as she forced herself to drink.

Still sipping the others of her group gave each other nervous looks, they knew what these two were like on a night out and could see where this was heading. But at the same time they all shared the same optimism that this might be possible after all. Speeding up slightly they all finished their first ones around the time as the dominant pair finished their second. The clang of empty beer cans ringing out again as they dropped them where they stood.

“Oh no” Tina whimpered.

“Don’t you dare, just hold it a little longer!” Bella almost commanded, her hand going into the back of the box and pulling out another, her and Lexi drinking with renewed vigour as they saw the impending loss of control of their friend coming. They just had to beat it.

But a few moments later a load groan came from the centre of the room, but it wasn’t from Tina. Next to where Bella was standing Lexi had slumped onto the floor as she drank, her hand getting better access to the almost empty crate. With her thighs pressed together on the floor and her knees bent so that her feet were behind her she let out another groan, her whole body starting to shake with effort. One hand on her bladder, the other between her legs. But as she struggled to maintain her control and her friends drank desperately around her the light started to catch on something quickly spreading across the floor.

“Nooo” She whined loudly, a large puddle quickly expanding around from where she was sitting, she had lost control. In the silence of the room as the last song ended an audible hissing noise replaced it, Lexi’s pink skirt that was draped around her turning magenta as it soaked up the pee that was rushing out of her heavily distended bladder. She had pushed it to its limits but she had lost.

“Not you Lexi” Bella said, surprised that it was her apparent partner in crime to have cost them the victory. But beside them another stream started, a heavy drumbeat of liquid falling from Tina as another of their group lost control of their bladders. The desperate and pleading woman hiding her face as the whole room watched on as two of them pissed themselves surrounded by their classmates.

“I cant believe you two!” Beth said, her voice clearly annoyed that the pair of them couldn’t last just 5 more minutes.

“Im sorry” Tina replied, starting to sob quietly as her pee raced down her darkening and once stylish brown playsuit.

“Like you could hold out long enough to drink those” Tina replied, her face far more relaxed but not taking any of her friends’ criticism. A loud bell sounded as the tenth and final bladder lost control, the woman with the clipboard appearing out of nowhere.

“Looks like were off the hook!” she shouted happily, the awkward silence of the room filled with a cheer from all of those still in control of their bladders. As soon Lexi’s photo was taken while still sitting in the large puddle she was still adding too, it was placed on the chart and a slow shambling stampede of people rushing for the door began. Flying open the horde of desperate first years flowed out onto the campus, searching for anywhere to relieve themselves.

Back inside the building it seemed only Eloise and the second and third years had remained inside, although she had to admit her need was getting desperate. But she was still confident that she could make it back in plenty of time and at least she knew she had a bathroom to use.

“Well, that was closer than most years.” Lucy joked

“Your telling me, I was starting to get worried for my wallet.” Summer joined in. But a clang in the centre of the room caught their attention. Apparently despite her friends running off Bella was still standing in the middle of the room, the crate emptied and a line of 3 full cans standing outside it as she went to grab another.

“Is she really doing that?” Julia asked quietly.

“Seems like it. Well, I guess the free beers gone so whose round is it?” Vanessa said nonchalantly.

“I think im going to pass, I really cant stomach much more of this stuff” Eloise said, feeling the beer starting to churn in her stomach uneasily.

“Light weight” Kay joked.

“I mean she outlasted most of the others, plus she seems to be able to handle her alcohol much better than them too.” Summer said in her support.

“Im not really a beer drinker” Eloise countered, which was true but only part of the reason she was skipping out on them tonight. Her full bladder now pulsing inside her slightly to the extent the walk back might be more of a problem than she had anticipated if she didn’t leave soon.

Another loud clunk from the centre of the room signalled Bella had finished yet another.

Despite her own need getting worse by the second Eloise could feel a slightly morbid fascination growing about the struggles of the woman standing in the middle of the room. One hand clutching a beer that she was attempting to chug and the other between her tightly crossed legs in a slightly drunken manner. For more than 30 minutes she watched her, the last two cans going down uneasily and with a number of pauses between gulps. But somehow she forced herself to drink them, her stomach easy to see as it pushed up against the tight waist of her jeans and caused her light white top to ride up slightly.

The last loud clunk reverberated around the room as Eloise stood there with her legs crossed tightly, waiting in anticipation to see what would win out, Bella’s bladder or her thirst.

“Told you I could have done it” Bella said loudly to her friend that was long gone.

Letting out a loud burp she turned towards the door as a river of pee started to stream down her legs. Her grey jeans becoming saturated as she continued to walk towards the door, in apparent disregard for what was going on or the warmth spreading down her legs. Bellas face was completely absent of emotion as she walked out of the building, a strange drunken look of satisfaction on it as the pints of beer poured out of her and into her clothes.

Unable to wait any longer and having nothing to distract her, Eloise excused herself whilst bobbing on the spot slightly. Knowing looks from many of her new housemates told her she wasn’t being subtle but who could blame her. Saying her goodbyes for the night she escaped into the cool evening that did nothing for her bladder. A shiver going up her spine she started her way back, stepping over the numerous puddles streams and even discarded underwear.

Clicking the door open with her watch she was thankful to have a hand free to hold herself. Rushing into her bedroom she kicked off her shoes and barged into the only toilet in the house. Hear clothes quickly falling away as she almost threw herself onto the toilet, letting out a deep sigh as the nights contents of beer started to flow out of her.

As the seconds ticked by her mind went back to the others, were they really not planning on peeing tonight? How long could they possibly last, it had been more than two days and they had each drunk litres since then. Even just thinking about it Eloise found that strange sense of anticipation growing, she was excited to see how long these iron bladdered housemates of hers could hold it.

She had come to this university to study the bladder and it seemed it was already giving her the best live action experiment possible.

Here is Chapter two, I hope you all enjoy.

Thank you all for your amazing support and kind comments on the last Chapter!

[Lenni6897 5]

Such a great story! 

Especially in the first part I was able to really sympathize with Eloise, it could have also been be a chapter straight out of a good book. The emotions of Eloise whilst coming to a new place were described very realistically, which I absolutely loved.

Certainly one of the best written stories I've read on here - I'm truly eager to read the next chapters :)

[Melificentfan 1,212]

What a fantasmic chapter that was I can’t wait to read what will happen next 

[SpaceWonderer 656]

Your stories get better and better with time, I am always looking forward for another one!

Chapter 3: Climbing the walls.

“Did we get what we were looking for?” The woman asked, the light in the room displaying the face of an aging but strong jawed woman. The curtains open and letting light spill across the floor, her figure still shadowed by the contrast caused by the bright light.

“Yes mam, the biometric readings came in clear and strong. We should be able to make good estimates from them.” The woman said, bowing as she walked closer to the desk.

“How many have made it this far?”

“All the second and third years are still participating. But only around 10% of the first years made it through the night.”

“Understandable, its about the same as previous years.” The woman in the chair nodded. “Any candidates among them for special training?”

“Yes mam” The woman replied, placing a large dossier folder on the desk. “In there you will find the top 10 promising first years. However, with some still holding on those are just the preliminary findings.”

“Ok good…What is this that I hear about a mishap?”

“Oh…” the woman paused for a moment, clearly compiling her thoughts. “There was a mishap with delivery mechanism, from our readings we believe one of your group have been exposed to the diuretic.”

“Unfortunate, but it may yield some interesting results. Keep me apprised of its outcome.” The woman said unemotionally, snapping the binder closed and laying it on the desk again.

“If that is all?” She asked, raising her eyebrows. The woman opposite her bowing and leaving the room.

The large door closing with a thump as she eyed the folder once again, things were about to get interesting.

 

Waking up the following morning Eloise stumbled over to the bathroom, bracing herself against the sink she stared into the mirror. The nights drinking taking a toll on her, her skin paler and a little clammy. Grabbing a flannel she quickly washed up and used the toilet before making her towards the kitchen. The smell of eggs and bacon wafting through the house along with the sizzle and quiet chatter from whoever was in the kitchen.

Strolling in she was surprised to see almost the entire house standing around the small room, only Allie and Kay seemed to be missing.

“Morning” she greeted them, covering a yawn with her mouth. “I take it you are all morning people” she added, the way they were dressed giving away the fact many of them were ready for the day and hadn’t just crawled out of bed like herself.

“Morning” Summer said cheerily, chopping up some fruit and dropping it in the large blender with an entire carton of Orange juice.

“Most of us seem to be, but it doesn’t look like Allie and Kay are. But then again we have only been living together for a couple of days.” Vanessa said, crunching into an apple.

“Oh yeah, I keep forgetting. You all seem like you know each other really well.”

“Well, we have known each other for 2 years now I guess.” Lucy said, sipping a cup of coffee that reminded Eloise of why she came in. Filling the kettle, she turned it on and patiently waited for it to boil.

“So you still planning on heading up to the fare this afternoon?” Lucy asked.

“Yeah, sounded like a good way to see what sort of things are going on.”

“Awesome, yeah a lot of them are free for the first session so why not try a load of things.” Summer said before silencing the room with her noisy blender.

“I got to make a move guys, Gymnastics meet up for the competition next week.” Zara shouted over the noise, quickly grabbing her toast that had just pinged out the top of top of the toaster and heading out with a bag over one shoulder. Waving back at them with the toast held between teeth she closed the door a little too loudly, the noise waking up Kay who shouted something incoherent but the tone giving away she wasn’t too impressed by the loud wake up.

After being joined by a dishevelled Kay and finishing off their breakfasts, Kay, Summer and Vanessa headed up with her to the main campus for the fresher’s fare. Eloise wasn’t exactly sure what to expect and didn’t have any real plans on joining anything, but it was still fun to go around and see what was happening around the campus.

“So, are any of you guys members of these societies?” Eloise asked, awkwardly accepting a brochure about sexual health from a well-meaning middle-aged woman who was just openly yelling about STD’s.

“I’m not” Lucy said, herself refusing one from the same woman who gave her a less than pleased look.

“I’m actually the president of the vegan society, you should totally join us!” Summer said enthusiastically.

“Oh, im sorry im not a vegan…” Eloise apologised.

“Its ok, you don’t have to be.”

“Really?”

“I mean we all are, but we are open to people who just want to join in or learn more.”

“Ok, well I will think about it. Might come to one to see what its all about.”

“Awesome, you wont regret it!” Summer replied, a beaming smiled on her face.

“What about the rest of you guys?” Eloise said, slightly to chance the topic and already feeling bad about the fact she probably wouldn’t ever end up going.

“Well Zara has her gymnastics but I don’t know about the rest of them?” Vanessa added, shrugging slightly.

“Im not but…Ooooh there it is.” Kay said slightly uncharacteristically joyous. Almost running away from them she made her way to a large booth covered in gadgets and cameras. From old Kodak film ones to modern DSLR kits the stall had it all.

“Hey guys you interested in signing up today for the photography club?” A chirpy looking pink haired woman behind it asked.

“Yes!” Kay said enthusiastically. “I meant too last year but…kind of forgot about it.”

“That ok, we are always happy to get new members.” The woman said smiling cheerily.

“What about you guys?”

“I don’t have a camera” Vanessa said flatly, the eyes of the woman flinching slightly before turning to Eloise.

“I….” She started

“If you don’t have one we have some you can loan”

“Sure, why not. It might be fun!” Eloise said, signing her name under Kay’s on the list. At least this would give the two of them something in common.

“And you two?” The pink haired woman asked, sensing an opportunity.

“I prefer to be in front of the camera than behind” Lucy joked.

“I have work and I just don’t have time.” Summer said apologetically.

“No problem, as for you two we are having a little contests between the members. Taking life shots and photos from around the campus, kind of like an ice breaker and to give us something to talk about in our first group meeting next week if you can make it?”

“That sounds like fun, so is life shots like people and things like that?” Eloise asked, giving away how little she knew about photography.

“Yeah, just anything that catches your eye or artistic shots of everyday life. Basically, it can be anything you want, we wanted to start out easy with you guys.” The woman finished, smiling as the group slowly moved onto the next rows of stalls.

The variety of sports and clubs offered at this university was really starting to surprise Eloise, everywhere she looked there were tables covered in colourful adverts, many of them for things she had never heard of.

“Pharmacy society?” She said, spotting a table with a couple of people in lab coats.

“Yeah, don’t bother its kind of a weird club.” Kay responded.

“What do you mean, how do you even have a club for it?”

“They do ‘experiments. Basically, they make their own drugs, wouldn’t surprise me if they were the ones putting diuretics in the drinks.” Summer replied.

“Kay is right, they tend to attract a certain group of people, so I would give it a skip.”

“Thanks for the heads up.” Eloise said, once again glad that she had met nice people already. Although, she hadn’t really had any intention of joining whether they had said anything or not. In fact she had no intention of joining anything really, but it seemed like the things to do. 

The group wandered around until the early evening checking out the stalls and grabbing as many free samples of stuff as possible including coffee, beer and pizza. Despite the fact none of them actually signed up for anything further. But it did at least make Eloise more familiar with the campus layout and give her some thoughts as to the sorts of things she might look for in the future. But for now she was happy just to balance moving to a new country, making friends and her studies.

 

Opening the door to Iron house a couple of hours later they were greeted by the sight of a number of new cardboard boxes sitting in the corridor. Although unlike the empty ones the day before these seemed to be full of food, or at least groceries.

“Sorry guys” A shout came from the kitchen as Allie rushed out. “It arrived late and I haven’t put it away yet.”

“What is it?” Summer asked, peering in one of the boxes.

“Its ingredients, im going to bake some food for the book club. We have a big thing tomorrow and I thought I would help out by making some snacks.”

“Some” Vanessa joked, looking around at the mass of things Allie had ordered.

“Well I know who isn’t going to get any of the left overs” Allie said, jokingly crossing her arms and raising her eyebrows at Vanessa.

“Well, if I had known there might have been left overs I might have been nicer” She laughed, failing to keep a straight face in response.

“Yessss!” Lucy said excitedly, looking at her phone, causing the others to look at her.

“Sorry, so I was speaking to this girl yesterday from my course and they are having a massive party tonight and I just scored us a way in!”

“Another party?” Summer said, already sounding unsure of if she wanted to go.

“Yeah, but not like a freshers party, like an actually good one with DJ. Mo, classy drinks and a full bar with discount.”

“Im in!” Vanessa said enthusiastically.

“Well im not, I’ve go things to do” Allie said, indicating to the ingredients she was just talking about.

“what about you Eloise?” Lucy asked.

“I don’t know, I think im still feeling it from yesterday. Im not use to this level of drinking, I might just stay in and help Allie out, if you need any help that is?”

“Just trying to get those free samples” Lucy said, poking fun at her but putting Eloise at ease. She hated to turn down people who had clearly been thinking of her when making their plans.

“Yeah sure, some help would actually be amazing.” Allie said, smiling at Eloise.

“Ok, but summer you have to come out with us. Its at that same place they had one at the end of last year. The drinks were like 80% off and the cocktails are massive!”

“I don’t think I went to that, plus I kind of….”

“Im not taking no for an answer. Come on were in third years, when are we going to have another opportunity like this with classes being cancelled. We have to go!” Lucy poured it on thick.

“Uuuhh Fine, but I’m not getting smashed” Summer said, only getting a loud scoff from Lucy as she turned towards the stairs. A clear sign that suggested it was not going to happen if she had anything to do with it.

 

Dropping the free items she had accumulated in her room, Eloise could feel her stomach grumbling at her. Despite snaking on free samples, she hadn’t really eaten anything all day and it was already 5pm. Walking back out into the kitchen she opened the freezer, taking out a frozen salmon pastry she had found in the shop yesterday. Turning on the cheap looking electric oven she slid the metal tray in and took a seat on the couch, beginning to flip through the various channels they seem to have.

Soon, she was joined by Summer who slouched on the sofa with one of her giant fruit smoothies in her hand.

“Is that not going to stop you wanting dinner?” Eloise asked as she watched the small blonde downing the almost 2 litres of fruit juice.

“what?” Summer asked, her attention being on the tv she looked at Eloise, a green moustache currently on her upper lip from the large jug she was drinking from.

“Oh, I just…that’s a lot of fruit before dinner.” Eloise said, trying not to stare at her friends’ upper lip.

“This is my dinner, Im on a juice diet thing it’s supposed to be good for you.”

“So that’s all you eat in a day?”

“Yeah, I have 3 of these. They are really filling but only like 300 calories for the full 1.5 litres. But I only do it twice a week since I’m doing it more for health than weight loss.”

“Sounds like a pretty good diet, although I’m not sure I could handle that much fruit each day.”

“Yeah, I’m not going to lie it was a little sickly when I first started. But ive been on them for about a year now and I do feel healthier. You just have to make sure to drink almost just as much water as you do fruit, it’s a lot of fibre to eat in one go. The other secret is basil, mint and spinach, really takes the sickly sweetness out of it.”

That was a lot of liquid to drink in one day! The thought of it was bringing back the conversation earlier, if none of these girls had gone to the bathroom since arriving, drinking that much more than once would have been an impossible feat for herself. Maybe she did have something to worry about with the expectations of this school.

“Um…so, I was…” Eloise started.

“So how do I look!?” Lucy said, bursting into the room and pulling her best model pose. The slender and figure-hugging leather dress she was wearing really accentuating her already substantial bust.

“Good” Eloise mustered, getting a glare from Lucy.

“Good, really. I was looking more for something like Hot or Sexy.” Lucy said half-jokingly. Opening the fridge and fishing out some left overs from last night. “You sure you don’t want to come out Eloise, we are all going except you and Allie?”

“Yeah im sure, just want to spread out the hangovers” She joked, but got a knowing tell from Lucy that meant it probably wasn’t out of the question that she had not done something similar in the past.

“Yeah, I’m starting to have second th…”

“Oh no you don’t!” Lucy said interrupting Summer. “You agreed to go out, come on we have the week off.”

“Fine” Summer said rolling her eyes.

 

The kitchen was soon filled with conversations and laughter of the new housemates as one by one they finished getting ready and met up in the kitchen. Tales of previous nights out were dusted off probably not for the first time as the stood around, but unlike last night it seemed they had all decided to dress up for the occasion. Gone were the jeans and flats and outcome the dresses and heels, another reason Eloise was glad she had turned down this party. But as quickly as they had appeared they left, the house suddenly still and silent with just Eloise and Allie accompanied by the static of the kitchen speakers now Kay’s phone had been unplugged.

“Man, those guys are sure loud when you put them together.” Allie joked, causing Eloise to laugh.

“Yeah, I cant imagine what they were like in first year.”

“I don’t think much has changed… Right we should probably make a start now the riffraff has gone.” Allie said, standing and making her way over to the kitchen from the couch.

Following her Eloise grabbed some of the boxes of supplies. “So what do you need me to do?” She asked.

“So here are the ingredients lists, if you could weigh out all the stuff using the scales there, then I can just bung it all in and start mixing it.”

“Sounds simple enough” Eloise replied, glad she wasn’t being tasked with anything complicated. She had helped her mum and dad in the kitchen when she was younger, but definitely didn’t consider herself a baker.

But It turned out that the pair of them actually made a good team, Eloise efficiently providing Allie as she churned out the batters and spreads to concoct all manner of sweat treats over the next couple of hours.  The kitchen filled with a heavenly mix of sweet aromas from the oven, with the occasional whiff of burning batter that had been left on the baking tray to long.

“I hope the book club appreciate all this.” Allie said, standing back and admiring their hard work. The fruits of their labour piled high in boxes ready for the book club meeting tomorrow.

“I think we have earned a cup of tea.” Eloise replied, clicking on the kettle and wiping up a small piece of cake batter that had somehow ended up on this side of the room.

Filling her cup with steaming water once again she was suddenly aware of another sensation, the last few cups making their way steadily into her bladder. Thinking about it, it had been several hours since she had gone. But given the earlier comments from a few of them, she couldn’t help but feel a little worried about how small her bladder seemed to be.

Sitting back down on the couch she looked across at Allie as she blew her tea. The woman opposite showing no need to pee despite many hours or even days since she had last gone. A moderate bulge easy to see even under her baggy clothing. Just the sight of it and her friends composure made Eloise worry about her chances here at the University, especially if the others had been telling the truth.

“Hey Allie, I don’t mean to pry but when we were out earlier, they mentioned somethings about this place that I’m still trying to understand.

“No need to be so formal” Allie laughed “whatever it is you can talk to me or any of the others about it. Were all friends here”

“Ok… so is it true that you have been holding it since you arrived?” She had surprised even herself with how she had just gone for it. The words anxiously stumbling out of her mouth before she could think of a better way of phrasing it.

“Holding it?” Allie asked, turning to face her on the sofa.

“You know, not going to the bathroom?”

“Oh!” Allie smirked, “yeah of course why?”

“Its been three days, do you not feel the need to go?” Eloise replied.

“I mean I do and im sure the others do to, not that they will probably admit how bad.”

“Why not?” Eloise asked, she was already through the looking glass.

“I mean without trying to boast we are some of the best holders at the university, top marks in all our Urodynamic practical’s and we are often head hunted by staff and external companies to help with things they are doing.”

“Wow” The sentiment a true exclamation of how awesome that sounded to Eloise. She couldn’t even imagine being that strong willed or talented. In some ways she was sure she was lucky to even know these women, in a few years who knew where they would all be.

“Yeah its kind of cool, but at the same time there is a lot of pressure, a lot of expectations on us that we need to keep up. Above and beyond what will be expected of you.”

“Expected of me?”

“Oh yeah, you haven’t had your first class yet... Sorry, a lot of this was probably supposed to be talked about with the staff first. But don’t be worried, the basics of it is that we are a Urodynamics institution and one of the best in the world right?”

Eloise nodded, unsure of if she liked where this was going or not.

“So they just ask that their students can achieve a certain level of self-control, like keeping your grades up.”

“So they test us on holding?”

“Yes but only like once a term and its not really a test, you just have to achieve a certain level and then you pass. Trust me, once you have done it the first time it’s a piece of cake. Plus they don’t even throw you out if you fail it, they just give you extra support and classes just like a remedial course of a language or something?”

“Extra holding classes?” Eloise continued her questioning, each reply from Allie giving her a dozen new ones.

“I mean that’s one way to put it, but trust me you will be fine. I think 80% of people pass it first time. Although it does get harder each year, but your bladders strength will increase too. Even the weakest of bladders in first year are now really strong, the classes here do work. In fact some people come here just for them, to train themselves to be stronger!”

“Really?”

“Yeah, it’s a harsh school, but its effective. You have nothing to worry about”

“Im not sure im as strong as you think” Eloise said quietly, taking a small sip of her tea and feeling her bladder respond, almost taunting her about the current topic of conversation.

“What do you mean?” Allie asked, adjusting herself on the sofa again.

“Vanessa seemed to think that peeing more than once a day was too much even for a first year.”

“Yeah well, I think she has just forgotten what it was like. Plus your body is actually capable of a lot more than you think right now. When I came here I was going a few times a day like you, although I drank a lot just as I do now. But within a month I had gotten it down to just once, its about mental fortitude as much as bladder size. Once you realize you can push past the limits that you have now, it becomes easier to increase your abilities. A lot of it is the anxiousness of thinking your going to lose control, because you don’t have a good understanding of your limits yet.” Allie said confidently, she was clearly knowledgeable about this stuff and hearing her talk about it so casually was weirdly comforting for Eloise.

“If you are worried about it, the first test will be to drink 2 litres and hold it 4 hours, maybe try it yourself and see how close you can get. But don’t push yourself too hard too quickly, the bladder is just like any other muscle and needs to be trained. Its what the classes are for, but some self learning never hurt anyone.” Allie finished, smiling at her.

“Ok, thank you. That actually makes me feel a lot better about it. I was kind of freaking out a bit about what they had all said earlier” Eloise admitted, smiling and feeling the weight on her shoulders lessen slightly as many of the questions she had swirling around her head had been answered. Despite knowing she wasn’t ready for the test yet, she still felt a lot more relaxed now she knew what she would be facing.

“Hey like I said its no problem, honestly if you ever want to talk about it no one here would find it weird. I mean we all do the same classes and stuff, its just like any other subject right.”

“I suppose that’s true.”

“Exactly, now I think we should treat ourselves to a muffin.” Allie said, standing again and going over to grab a cake of the metal heat rack.

“Are you sure you have enough?” Eloise asked.

“Are you kidding, we have way more than we will need. But that’s just an excuse to eat more cake!” She said excitedly.  “Oh shit its like almost midnight, I should go to bed. The meet up is in the morning.”

“Time flies when you are baking I guess” Eloise said, her own mouth half full of muffin.

“It really does, sorry to leave so abruptly but I really should make a move. Thank you for all your help, I’d still be baking if you hadn’t offered.”

“It was fun, if you need any help with this again im up for it.” Eloise replied earnestly. It had been fun to spend the night doing something like this and getting to know her housemate better.

“Awesome. Anyway goodnight Eloise”

“Night!” Eloise waved after her friend, now alone she let out a yawn. Bed sounded like a good idea to her to be honest too. It felt like it had been a long day.

Walking back into her room she placed the mug on her bedside cabinet and walked into the bathroom, her legs brushing against each other for a few moments of added help. Letting herself relax she made a mental note to try harder to control herself and then maybe one day she would be like the others here.

Getting into bed she grabbed her book, before drifting off to sleep.

 

A loud crash woke her up, her thumb still between the pages of the book she had been reading when she had drifted off. Clicking on the button of her phone she was shocked to see that it was 2.30am, was someone breaking in?! Getting further under the covers, she waited a moment, maybe it was just her imagination, the noise part of the dream she couldn’t remember having.

“Sssshhhh” A loud drunken shush filled the corridor outside her room followed by several sets of giggles. Breathing a sigh of relief she couldn’t help but laugh, it was just her housemates returning a little worse for wear after their night out. Wiping some of the drool from her face she carefully book marked the page she was on and slid it onto the chest of drawers. Turning over and trying to fall asleep as she listened to the clunks and giggles of her drunk house mates navigating the stairs.

 

The next time Eloise awoke it was far more peaceful, the sunlight streaming through the thin curtains as she stirred. Getting out of bed she got dressed, heading into the kitchen she was surprised to see Summer already up despite the late night.

“Hey, how was last night?.”

“Morning, Urgh I drank way too much. I think we all did, it was 3 for 1 night which only got Lucy more excited.” She smiled at the thought of it.

“You don’t seem to be too worse off for it though” Eloise pointed out.

“Yeah, most of us made sure to drink water so I think that helped, plus ever since I started the juice diet thing I don’t tend to get too many headaches. Guess its all the vitamins?”

“I might have to borrow that next time we go out. So how are the others?”

“Yeah, Even though they drank water I think they used it as an excuse to drink more Alcohol. So I wouldn’t bet on seeing them before mid-day at least.”

“That bad?” Eloise asked, already half knowing the answer from what she heard in the middle of the night. Summers smiling nod only confirming her thoughts.

“So what are your plans for the day?” Summer asked, cleaning up her breakfast.

“Im not sure really. I thought about getting ahead on some of the reading list they emailed out before classes were postponed. But at the same time I feel like I should probably do something a bit more active you know. Just been sitting around since I moved in.”

“Cool, its not a bad idea to start with the reading. The first classes should go over the basics but even so some of it went over my head. But if you want to join im about to head out to the climbing wall.”

“I…Yeah why not” Eloise agreed after a moments thought. After all she didn’t have any real plans and this would be at least some form of exercise. Or perhaps it was just an excuse to procrastinate for a little longer. “Do I need anything?”

“Nope just suitable shoes, a drink and your watch will do.”

 

The climbing centre was far larger than Eloise had thought, the several story building almost completely hidden by large trees along the paths they took. The large grassy area outside it covered in students relaxing and enjoying the extra time away from lectures.

Checking into the building with her watch she noticed the screen light up “Need an induction?”

“Uh Summer, do I need to do an induction?”

“Oh that, no don’t worry. Its just a liability thing, don’t worry Ill run you through it. I don’t do the massive walls anyway, just the hanging ones.”

“Oh ok” Eloise responded, clicking the no option and hoping Summer knew what she was talking about.

“So have you done anything like this before?” Summer asked, walking past the giant three-story structures and towards the back of the building.

“No, not really. I did do some indoor stuff when I was younger but I haven’t in a few years.”

“Ok, well its better than nothing. Just go slowly and use the free chalk for grip. Although as a beginner I might suggest relying more on your feet than your hands.”

“Got it” Eloise nodded.

“This is the hanging wall.” Summer said as they now stood in front of a much smaller white wall with dozens of holes and grips across it, a looping section of the wall hung over them slightly. “So you are supposed to go with a colour and follow its path, blue is beginner, then its dark green, light green, yellow, red and finally black is the hardest. But since its your first time I would suggest just going up and down a few times following an easy path.

“You do this a lot then I take it?” Eloise asked, sliding her sports bag under the bench nearby.

“Yeah it’s a great core work out and uses your brain at the same time. Its why I love this and Yoga, you can really feel and get in tune with your body.”

“Are these mats safe enough for that height?” Eloise asked, kicking one of the hard mats as they walked up to the wall.

“Yeah, you need something that absorbs the impact. It might give you a bruise but if it’s too soft it won’t absorb enough of the energy of the impact, which can do more damage.”

“Ok, you know a lot about this stuff.”

“Yeah its my major, I do a lot of sports science and hydration studies. This sort of thing goes hand in hand with it, learning about injuries and how to prevent them. Like half of all injuries can be linked to dehydration and its impact on muscles.”

“Ah cool, I’ve been trying to figure out peoples majors.” Eloise said, starting to stretch her muscles and taking a swig from her bottle.

In front of her Summer was limbering up too, stretching her arms before starting her assent, the veteran of the wall instantly going for the red route, a series of tricky hand holds leading her up the wall using a series of uncomfortable positions. After a few movements she looked down, the pair of them catching eyes.

“Come on slow poke, plenty of room for two up here.”

Apprehensively Eloise stepped up to the wall, chalking her hands lightly she grabbed her first grips, the Blue ones thankfully having a large foothold on each peg. Reaching up she grabbed another, slowly pulling herself up a couple of times as she moved upwards towards Summer who seemed to be watching her. But after a couple more movements it seemed she was happy to let her get on with it as she got on with her own path.

The Blue path as it turned out was pretty simple and within a few minutes she had conquered it, deciding to move onto the green. Standing at the base and plotting it out in her head it looked a lot more formidable, but she knew she could do it. Grabbing the hand holds she was worried a bit about the size of the ones for her feet. The large platforms were gone, but they were still plenty big enough as it turned out. Although despite what Summer had said earlier, she couldn’t help but grip the wall slightly tighter with her hands.

A few movements later she was forced to pause as her arms started to burn, the climbing turning into an actual work out despite how easy Summer was making it look. Glancing up she couldn’t help but see under Summers loose shirt as she climbed. The sight shocking her slightly as she caught a glimpse of what had to be her bladder, the blonde woman’s organ protruding from her toned and flat stomach several inches. It should have come as no surprise to her that after all this time her bladder would have been full, but the size of it was still made her do a double take.

Even as she climbed, she couldn’t help but take the occasional look up at it and the straining woman giving it no quarter as she leapt from hand hold to hand hold. Now trying the light green pegs, Eloise was amazed at the dexterity and upper body strength of her house mate. The thin woman able to propel and grip the much harder tiny red markings easily. Even now hanging by just her hands, a deep grimace on her face as she traversed the horizontal section with her body hanging by just her finger tips. But losing her grip she dropped down from her hanging position, letting out a quiet groan with the impact and falling to one knee for a moment with a hand on her stomach.

“Are you ok?”

“I uh… yeah Im fine” She said, smiling widely and standing up. She was trying to pretend everything was ok, but given the size of the bulge she must have been dying by now.

“That bit always gets me” Summer continued, trying to play it off.

Taking a swig from her bottle it was clear that despite the confident appearance, something was playing on her mind. But even with that, she still had another couple of cracks at the red points. Eloise continued to watch from below as Summer made it round the difficult curve, her shirt was pulled up and exposing her bloated midsection once again. The fabric bunching up above her shoulders and now even getting stuck on her bladder as it pushed out. Eloise reached for the next green peg, but with her mind only half on the task at hand she found herself grasping the edge of it while her foot moved from the previous peg. Her grip failing Eloise tumbled towards the ground, landing with a thud on her backside she was just glad she had only been a couple of feet up.

“Oh shit, are you ok?” Summer said, using the pegs to gently lower herself to the ground this time.

“Yeah, sorry I should have chalked up like you said. Think my hands were too sweaty” Eloise lied, dusting herself off as she stood back on her feet.

“Ok well I think that’s enough for today anyway. Don’t want to push it too much on your first day.” Summer said, her own legs resting closely together in a way that seemed a little odd to Eloise, but then she had only met Summer a few days earlier.

Despite the short fall Eloise could definitely feel a bruise forming on her elbow on the walk back. But Summer had been right about the crash pads, they had done their job.

Despite being out for almost two hours it seemed that none of the others had woken from their drunken stupors. Walking into the kitchen to refill their bottles Eloise couldn’t help but notice the piles of baking pans that she and Allie had left out from last night. Allie was probably too busy this morning to do them, but Eloise figured now was a good a time as any.

With Summer now making an after work out late lunch the pair chatted for a while as she washed up, the rushing water doing nothing for her own bladder which had filled after finishing off her own water during the climbing. But she was resolute to make it at least another hour, if she could cut down to just one pee other than morning and night time, she could work on pushing it back a little at a time until she was more in control. Maybe by the time her first test came around she could pass it easily, but like Allie had said she needed to train herself slowly.

“Oh god I need water” A croaking demand came from the entrance of the kitchen, a slow-moving Kay shuffling in.

“Morning” Summer replied

“How are so chirpy this morning after last night?” Kay responded, pouring and starting to drink a large class of cold water. Resting an elbow on the side of the counter she gently massaged her head with her other hand.

“Its the juice diet, I haven’t had once since I started it!”

“More like the Sambuca shorts you somehow got out of with the rest of us.” Kay said sadly as she sipped her water.

“That was Lucy’s idea not mine.” Summer replied smiling.

“Ughh I can still taste them”

“So im guessing no party tonight then” Eloise couldn’t help but jibe.

“No, I haven’t gone out with them since first year Freshers and I forgot how much they all drink.” Kay replied, her hand massaging her temple.

“Well, if it makes you feel any better Kay, you are the first one up and alive.”

“Alive is a strong word. I just need water and I’m going to go and crawl back into bed and hope the world stops spinning. She said downing the rest of the glass before pouring herself another and heading towards the door.

“Good luck with that.” Summer joked, kay too hungover to even respond.

Chapter 4: Shop till you drop.

“How are things progressing?” A question came from the chair, its occupant turned away to face the window as the last of the days sunshine barely made it through it.

“Well, around a third of the students remain.”

“So, you are saying almost two thirds of the students have been removed from the test after failing.”

“Yes Mam, but that was what was predicted.”

“Fair enough. Do we have any front runners yet?”

“Its too early to really tell, although we are seeing some promising signs from many of the second years. It seems that even over the summer their capabilities have improved.”

“Good, keep me updated.”

“Yes Mam” The woman said before turning and leaving through the door.

 

“I got it” Eloise yelled from her room as she walked towards the door.

“Hello, that’s 6 large Pizza’s, one medium Vegan Pizza Four large bottles of coke, four chicken sides, two garlic pizza breads and as requested a ‘shit tonne’ of dips” The young man said as he smiled at her.

“Awesome, thank you!” Eloise replied, her stomach grumbling at just the smell coming from the warm boxes.

“Do you need a hand?” He asked as he started awkwardly filling her arms with more boxes than she could carry.

“Uhh, yeah sure if you wouldn’t mind.”

“No problem” He said, grabbing the other half of the boxes and following her in.

Walking into the lounge all eyes turned towards them, the young man suddenly looking a little shy as he met the eyes of the 7 other women in the house.

“If you just pop them on the counter” Eloise said, snapping him out of it. Placing the boxes down quickly he awkwardly waved at them before quickly turning around and closing the front door behind him as he left.

“He was kind of cute” Vanessa joked.

“He looked about 14” Kay rebutted, grunting as she climbed over the corner of the sofa to get to the pizza as fast as she could.

“He did not! And I mean he has to be 18, he drove right Eloise?” Vanessa defended herself.

“Uhhh, I didn’t really look for a car.” Eloise responded.

“Well I’d be impressed if he got this all here on a bicycle” Julia joked as she handed out the pizza’s to their right owners, “Summer, here is your not a pizza”.

“Just because its vegan, its still a pizza. It just has dairy free cheese”

“If it doesn’t have its weight of Pepperoni on I don’t want to know.” Allie said, digging into her own dinner.

“Anyway, back to the question guys. What are we watching tonight?” Kay asked, the conversation interrupted by the delivery.

“Hey Lucy, your pizza” Eloise said, offering the box to the red head as she sat on the couch, her legs jostling tightly together.

“Lucy?” She asked again after getting no response from her housemate.

“Sorry, totally zoned out there” She smiled nervously, a faint glint of sweat on her forehead.

“Are you ok?” Eloise asked softly.

“Yeah totally, you know just feeling last night.” She replied.

“Yeah well who was the one who ordered the Sambuca Lucy?” Kay said accusingly, tearing open her own box and smiling at the meat covered pizza.

“Guys, what film are we putting on!” Allie said slightly annoyed. “Or im just going to put on one I like”

“Brain melting action!” Kay shouted.

“Anything with Bradley cooper, or Chris Hemsworth, Or Liam Hemsworth, or even…” Zara started

“So action film with a male lead, shouldn’t be a problem.” Allie said, turning around and shuffling through the combined DVD collection they had made.

“Can we not do anything too gory while we eat?” Summer asked.

“Yeah, that sounds like a good idea.” Eloise agreed, taking her seat back on the large sofa.

“Ok, What about Mad Max fury road or Gladiator?” Allie said, turning from her position sat on the floor and holding the two options up.

“I haven’t seen Fury road, the originals were really good.” Eloise said, taking the lead for the first time.

“A woman of taste, I knew we would get on” Kay said, pointing a piece of pizza at her while several pieces of pepperoni fell onto her legs.

“Yeah, im happy to watch anything with Charlize Theron in it.” Summer agreed.

“Come on Gladiators a classic.” Julia chimed in.

“While I agree… Tom Hardy” Was Vanessas input and as such the votes were cast and Allie slid in the disc.

 

As the Splash screen started Eloise couldn’t help but look over at Lucy. There was definitely more to it than her hang over, and given the state of Summers bulge earlier Lucy had to be feeling it. After all not only was she holding just as much, she had been dosed with a strong diuretic that if the stories of previous parties were to believed had caused other first years to wet themselves several times in one night. Yet after days she was still holding on strong, although she looked far from comfortable.

Thankfully for her it seemed that the film was enough to distract her, as well as Eloise who almost completely forgot about Lucy and her subtle signs of desperation. That was until out of the corner of her eye she noticed movement. Possibly without realising Lucy had begun to move her legs up and down, the shifting a sure sign of her desperate state and one that other people seemed to be pick up. A couple of others glancing at Lucy instead of watching the film.

“Is everything ok Lucy?” Julia asked, sitting next to her the constant movement must have been more noticeable.

“What, oh yeah sorry.” Lucy said, her face blushing as she placed her hands on her thighs and her legs stopped moving. Pursing her lips she closed her eyes for a moment, before forcing her attention back to the screen.

But as the film worse on and neared the end it seemed her ability to sit still was slowly leaving her. One of her hands falling between her legs as Elouise looked on, the redhead even beginning to rock in her seat lightly. The more distracting movement getting the attention of many of the others who couldn’t seem to believe that one of their friends was stooping to such a level.

“Do you have to squirm like that, its kind of distracting” Kay announced, breaking the silent looks some of them had shared between themselves. All clearly knowing what was going on but not willing to even suggest it to her.

“ I…..I’m sorry alright….I just need to pee.” She admitted, her face blushing madly and now almost matching her hair colour. Her eyes darting down as she tried to avoid everyone’s accusing glances.

“Come on its only been three days, I know you have lasted longer than that before.” Zara said a little harshly.

“Four actually! And I know, but I cant help it. I don’t know what’s happening, my bladder just feels really full.” She continued, squeezing her legs together tighter, although her upper body seemed a little more relaxed to Eloise. Perhaps as Allie had indicated, the anxiety of being found out might have been making her situation worse.

But as she had been watching on, Eloise could tell that it wasn’t just the display that Lucy was putting on which was annoying them. Ever since the others had woken and joined her in the kitchen, she had noticed the occasional sign of growing desperation in almost all the women sitting next to her. Each of their bladders already bulging through their clothing after being denied any relief for days, and she was sure that Lucy’s desperate display wasn’t helping them as they tried to ignore their own needs.

“Look, can we just get on with the film.” Lucy said, not wanting to be at the centre of everyone’s attention any longer.

The final third of the film finished uninterrupted, with Lucy’s desperation now out there for everyone she had resolved to just hold herself and keep her legs pressing together. An otherwise embarrassing situation for her, but a less distracting one for everyone else. As the credits rolled everyone sat back in their places. “That was alright I guess.” Julia said, clearly unimpressed.

 “I quite liked it, but its no original.” Kay replied.

Standing up Eloise put her Pizza box back on the counter, accepting the others who handed them to her one at a time.

“I cant believe we ate all that” Vanessa said, looking at the mound of empty boxes.

“Pfff, I could have done it on my own” Kay joked, pushing herself up slowly.

“You guys want to watch something else?” Allie asked hopefully.

“Yeah im up for some more films.” A couple of them agreed.

But stifling a yawn Eloise knew she should probably head to bed. It wasn’t exactly late but after her morning climb a not so restful night’s sleep, she was feeling drowsy.

“I think I’m going to head to bed” She said stretching her arms out.

“Ok, goodnight!” Summer said cheerily, herself clearly wide awake despite getting up far earlier than the others.

Walking into her room she quickly got changed and shuffled under the covers, her eyelids closing heavily and soon she was asleep.

 

Opening her eyes slowly Eloise’s hands flew between her legs.

“Oooohph” She muttered to herself, a need to pee hitting her hard as her body woke. With both hands squeezing against her crotch she used her leg to brush her Duvet aside, letting out a hiss of air as she stood and her bladder cramped. The sudden movement causing the contents of her full bladder to move uncomfortably inside her. Walking quickly and not even closing the door she threw herself onto the toilet and sighed audibly as the evening and nights worth of pee emptied out of herself.

Checking her watch she was pleasantly surprised 12 hours! It was nothing compared to what she had seen the others do, but for herself that was a long time. Although as she put a hand gently against her still aching bladder she worried about how close she had been to wetting the bed. It hadn’t been her intention to wait so long, but she simply hadn’t felt a strong need last night.

Walking up the stairs towards the showers she found Summer gently jigging in small circles in front of the door. Her legs bouncing as she paced nervously, her mind clearly too distracted to see her approach.

“Hey Summer, everything ok?” Eloise asked.

“Oh!” The blonde haired woman said, slightly startled look. Realising she wasn’t alone she straightened up and stopped pacing, the tops of her thighs still occasionally pressing against each other. “Sorry, I have work and Lucy is taking forever in there.” She said, banging on the door with her fist.

“Who is in the other one?”

“Julia I think, but she only went in as I was getting up.”

“Alright, im finishing up!” Lucy shouted from the other side of the door, her voice clearly strained and a little wobbly.

Out of the corner of her eye Eloise could see Summer now standing on one leg, the other leg on its toes and allowing her to press her thighs together tighter than before without it looking too strange. Unfortunately for Summer, Eloise was all too aware of this strategy and many others given her seemingly small bladder compared to her housemates. But then her attention was taken by a series of grunts and rustling that seemed to be coming from the other side of the door.

A couple of minutes later the door clicked open and outwalked Lucy in just her underwear, her jeans roughly folded in her arms, the faintest of frayed seems around the top button.

Eloise was lost for words as she took in the almost naked woman, her hourglass figure now sporting the largest bladder bulge she had ever seen. The monstrous growth pushing inches out of her and making the red head look almost pregnant. Its volume was obscene and Eloise couldn’t help but stare, how could one bladder hold so much. She would have thought it impossible, part of her still did despite the evidence in front of her. Her strength must have been immeasurable to be able to do this.

“No need to stare” Lucy joked, taking Eloise’s staring as her ogling her body.

“Sorry, I just wasn’t expecting you to be…. My brains still waking up.” She tried to cover for herself.

“Well, I’ll take it as a compliment.” She smiled, before walking back to her room with a slightly uneasy gate. Behind her Summer rushed into the empty shower, hoping to get ready in time for work. Although given Summers bulge the day before Eloise suspected that many of her housemates were starting to suffer similarly full bladders.

Only a few minutes Later Julia emerged fully dressed from the other door. Her long and wet hair wound in a tight towel as she attempted to see without her glasses. “All yours” she said smiling at Eloise who took her place in the shower. As the warm water started to rain against her naked body her mind wandered back to Lucy, her bladder, and wondering how she how she could possibly have showered. Even now as she stood there with an empty bladder, Eloise could feel the warm waters effects, almost making her want to pee.

Spending the morning reading her emails and welcome package, Eloise was becoming a little more aware of the university and her courses requirements. Tagged on at the end of the message was a list of books and study materials she would need to find. Reaching for her mug she tipped it towards her face to be disappointed when she found it empty. Rubbing her eye with her hand she figured it was time for lunch and another cup of tea.

“Hey, Eloise there is a classic movie marathon next week if you want to come.” Kay said from behind her as she stepped off the bottom stairs.

“Yeah sure, whats playing?”

“Back to the future, all of”

“I loved those movies when I was a kid!” Eloise said cheerily. Movies had always been a big past time when she was younger. She had often used them as a way of “learning”, convincing her parents to buy them for her so she could watch them in English and then in other languages to pick them up. In a weird way it had worked, although after her mum had walked in at the wrong moment in die hard it was a bit harder to convince them. Not quite the James Bond film she had told them it was.

“Classic movie marathon next week?” Kay repeated, pointing at vanessa and Lucy as they sat in the kitchen.

“Sure, I don’t have any plans since classes don’t seem to be coming back yet” Vanessa replied casually. The sentiment almost sending a shiver down Lucy’s spine, “Ok” she answered weakly.

“But you have to come to the pub quiz tonight” Vanessa added.

“Really, another night of drinking. How can you even stand it after yesterday?” Kay asked.

“No, nothing like that. Just a few drinks, no shots.” Vanessa said, holding her hands up like a girl scout.

“Who is going?” Kay asked.

“Well, me, Zara and Lucy at the moment. I text Summer but she is at work so I haven’t got a reply. Julia is freaking out a little about a test we have in a couple of weeks so she is going to the library to study. I think the lack of classes is making her worry she is missing out on something, but she will ace it like always.”

“Yeah sure I’ll come, what about you Eloise?” Kay asked.

“I’ve never done a pub quiz, but they sound like fun.”

“Cool, it starts at 7 so we should probably head out about 6.”

 

By 6.50pm the first of what would be many rounds was ordered as they sat with their pens at the ready, the six of them waiting for the quiz to start while chatting about university life again. Summer had passed, taking a late shift for a colleague and Julia had gone to the library as expected. Sitting quietly Eloise listened to their stories, they had definitely had their fair share of experiences over the last few years. Some or most involving drunken nights out by the sounds of it, and only now some of them were finding out which of them were involved with the other halves of each other’s stories. Unsurprisingly it seemed Zara and Lucy were the primary suspects for most of the goings on, but they all had tales to tell. 

Sipping her drink and despite the fun atmosphere Eloise could sense the deep uncomfortable undertones that were punctuating all of their behaviours. Despite Lucy being by far the most desperate last night, it seemed the others were fast approaching her level. Vanessa and Kay were all smiles above the table but beneath their legs jiggled constantly. Allie and Zara seemed to be swaying them back and forth and occasionally tensing them, the added benefit of wearing jeans meaning they were not at risk of flashing anyone who happened to look over. But the postures of all five women were rigid, their movements far more contemplated and unnatural as they stretched for drinks or swivelled in their seats.

For her part Lucy was still doing a surprisingly good job at acting reasonably normal, but if you were  to look closely just as Eloise was, you could tell it was all for show. Her legs crossed as tightly as possible, her back arched slightly as she tried to give her bloated bladder the room it needed. The giant bulge somehow looked even more apparent when they had all met up earlier that evening, her tight orange pencil dress accentuating all her curves including the one sticking out of her stomach. Thankfully her wide hips helped to hide the true extent of it, giving her bladder more room to expand sideways as well as forwards. By her sides her hands flexed and scrunched periodically and at some moments Eloise could have sworn that she had even seen tears forming in the corners of her housemate’s eyes as she battled what must have been an immense urge.

But as the music died down and the quiz started Lucy seemed a little more relaxed, maybe that was the point. Was she and the others starting to worry about what would happen if they were left with too much time to think, this could just be a way of keeping their minds occupied and distract themselves. It seemed like a good strategy, Eloise herself contemplating whether it would help her in her own training.

But as they finished their fourth round of cocktails a while later she wasn’t going to have to wait long, a fullness in her own bladder once again signalling that her annoyingly small bladder was rapidly filling. But she wouldn’t break tonight, she was resolute to hold it until she got home. But given the increased movements of the others around the table, they were either feeling the same thing or the strong alcohol was simply making them less shy about showing their needs. A hand now almost constantly pressing between Lucy’s legs as she resorted back to furiously jiggling them under the table. A fresh sheen of sweat on all their faces caused by the group’s constant movement and the warm bar, heated almost certainly to cause their patrons to need to drink more.

But surprisingly they were actually winning, she had never done a pub quiz but it certain seemed the others had. Even in their desperate and sweaty states they were able to answer question after question correctly and it had given them a 4-point lead over their closest rivals. A lead that they just about managed to maintain over the other group for the next hour. Although even with their own calculations as the quiz master started to announce the winners, they were not fully convinced of their maths.

“Drum roll please” The man running it said, a distorted electronic drumroll coming through the cheap speakers the bar was using.

“Cockless Tails!”

“Wheeeeyyy” Zara and Vanessa cheered, forcefully high fiving.

“I thought you said you didn’t use that name!” Allie said, almost choking on the last of her drink.

“I may have done” Vanessa joked, a sly smile on her face.

 “Well done Ladies, here is your prize. Its £50 of bar credit for tonight!” The man said cheerily, tearing off a little signed slip which he handed over.

“For tonight?” Lucy asked, light trepidation in her voice.

“Yes, sorry we cant let people go out with these slips. Otherwise people would come in all the time with fake ones asking for drinks and things. This way we can keep track of it and keep giving away at least some form of prize.” He said, before heading back behind the bar.

“Alright then, what are we all having?” Zara said, flicking the note against the palm of her hand.

“Well, next round of cocktails?” Kay suggested, downing the remnants of her glass.

“Come on guys its free drinks, we should get something we wouldn’t otherwise buy” Vanessa retorted.

“Champagne” Zara added, Allie pointing at her and nodding.

With no other suggestions Zara quickly left the group, a beaming smile on her face even if she was moving slightly awkwardly.  Soon she returned with the largest bottle any of them had seen.

“What is that?” Allie asked

“Ummm, its Moet and Chandan” She replied reading the label.

“Moet” Eloise replied, correcting her friends French.

“Sorry, Moet” Zara said jokingly. “It was the biggest bottle they had and I paid the extra £5 for this so don’t complain to me.”

“Good to know you are a woman of quantity over quality.” Vanessa joked back.

“Hey no matter what anyone else says, size matters” Zara said, barely able to keep a straight face before all of them burst out laughing.

“Oooh” A groan came from Lucy.

“You doing alright over there?” Kay asked

“What yeah, just twinged a muscle” Lucy said, feigning another smile but a much less convincing one than she was managing earlier. But she wasn’t the only one struggling, Eloise herself was having to fight her own body as the last hour had been filling her bladder to even more uncomfortable levels. She was doing her best to hide it, but it was quickly becoming impossible, dull pulses from her bladder were causing her muscles to tremble slightly and she knew it was a sure sign that wouldn’t be able to hold out too much longer. She hadn’t thought it would be an issue but, with this new large bottle it might be closer than she thought.

Thankfully between the six of them it didn’t take long at all to finish the bottle, its 30-flute capacity disappearing into each of the women. A fact that Eloise found enthralling, even though their bladders were obviously bothering them they drank just as much as they did before. Despite the constant demands of their bodies, they were trying to live their usual lives without changing anything. It was inspiring in an odd sort of way to the new freshman.

But even with the inspiration of her housemates, the walk home at closing time proved a little harder than previously expected, the high percentage drinks taking their toll on their minds and bladders. Unsteady steps down the road were apparently Hilarious to Vanessa, but for Eloise and Lucy it was anything but. Even with the cold night air both could feel themselves sweating, Lucy letting out the occasional soft groan as she heaved her bladder along on shaking legs. Feeling her aching bladder pulse again Eloise could take it no more, she needed to get home. Giving up on staying with her friends she increased her pace, the rapid footfalls jostling her bladder but she knew she didn’t have long one way or the other.

Charging ahead of the rest she fumbled with the doorhandle before eventually it clicked open. Climbing through she let the door swing as she power walked to her room, similarly opening the door but a few steps away she turned and closed it. Her right hand in a fist and hammering against her thigh anxiously, without even taking her coat or shoes off she bolted for her toilet, dancing on the spot as she turned to close the door. Her legs rubbings against each other furiously as her hands instantly flew to her jeans buttons. Unfastening them as quickly as she was able to, she pushed them and her underwear to her knees, all but falling onto the toilet. A strong stream instantly bursting out of her and pattering noisily against the porcelain beneath her once again.

Unable to stop herself Eloise let out a groan of relief, her torso almost folding in half as she felt the relief she had been wanting for the last few hours. Sighing she listened to the sound of her strong stream in an otherwise quiet house. Once again she had found herself perilously close to wetting herself as an adult, not quite the start to university life she was expecting.

Flushing the toilet she stood, taking off her coat and throwing it onto the bed she walked back out into the hall, surprised to see that the others hadn’t made it back yet. Kicking off her shoes she poked her head out of the door, her housemates still some distance back up the road. She hadn’t realised how much faster she must have been walking, but closing the door she put a hand on her bladder and revelled in its relaxed emptiness.

Walking into the kitchen for a much-needed glass of water she found Julia sat at the table, her legs vibrating beneath her. An empty coffee pot and energy drink cans lay around her including a number inside her half open bag.

“Hey Julia, how is the work going?” she asked.

“Not bad, just trying to catch up on what we have missed this week.” She said, her leg movements stopping once she realised someone was watching.  “How was the quiz?”

“Yeah it was good, we won! Although there were only a few teams playing. You should totally come next time.” Eloise replied

“Yeah, maybe” Julia said half-heartedly, clearly a little down about something.

“I know studying is important but you should also take some breaks. You know, otherwise you can get burnt out.”

“Yeah, your right. I think its just the test that I’m a little worried about. But I was thinking of heading out for some shopping tomorrow if you want to tag along?” Julia asked.

“Yeah sure I could do with some more clothes, If nights out become a common thing I’ll need more than two dresses.”

“Sure thing, I was thinking of going out about half 10? Might see if anyone else wants to go too, make a house trip out of it”  

“Sounds good to me” Eloise smiled.

 

By the next morning it really seemed as if the nights of drinking had taken their toll on Lucy. After waving goodbye to a slightly uncomfortable looking Zara and Vanessa, Eloise had found Lucy groaning in the kitchen. She had paused for a moment in the doorway, watching her friend pant and pretzel her legs as she tried to watch something on the tv. Her hair matted and some of last night’s makeup still smudged on her face that had immense discomfort written across it. The bloated red head now had one hand pressing on the tops of her thighs, the other bunching up the blue plaid skirt she was wearing. Its semi elasticated waistband digging into the bulge that Eloise could see even more prominently. Although for their part, the spandex clad women heading out for their run and then Yoga had sported similar bulges by this point. The thought causing images of the pair doing yoga with uncomfortably full bladders to fill her mind before she shook them away again.

Finally walking into the room Eloise grabbed her cup, pouring herself some fruit juice from the fridge. Looking over Lucy hadn’t even registered her presence yet, her mind clearly too preoccupied.

“Morning” Eloise said cheerily, but the look on Lucy’s face was anything but. The red head turning towards her with a pained expression that remained even as she tried to smile back. Eloise could see the pain in her eyes as she fought the monumental battle that was raging within her.

“Mor…Morning” Lucy said unsteadily, her cheek twitching and legs continuing to move restlessly even with Eloise watching.

“Hey Eloise, you ready in a few?” Julia asked, entering behind her. “I spoke to the others this morning and Summer and Zara are going to come too, well after she finishes yoga she will join us.”

“Sure thing” Eloise said, turning to look at Julia as her housemate’s eyes were diverted to Lucy who was still sitting and occasionally flinching on the sofa.

“You are more than welcome to come too Lucy” She added, although there was a sense that she wasn’t expecting her to actually accept given her current state. An unspoken acknowledgement had formed between most of them, they were all trying to ignore their needs so talking about it wasn’t really going to help.

But to their surprise she nodded “Sure, a bit of shopping might help distract me.” Standing awkwardly she moaned softly, her back bent over with a hand on her bloated bladder for support.

Grabbing their coats and shoes the four of them made their way up to the shopping centre. Its large plain square grey building a little depressing in the otherwise green surroundings. As they walked through the shopping centre Eloise couldn’t help but notice the way her friends were walking. She could see their backs arching back slightly, the weight of their protruding bladders causing them to change their posture. The strange sight of them all almost looking like a pregnancy group on a day out, but their rotund bodies were simply the impact of many nights out and no bathrooms. Although she was sure a fair share of pregnancies may also have started out in a similar fashion.

“So where do you want to go Eloise?” Summer asked, the group dawdling along glancing from shop to shop.

“I don’t really know. I mean we have some of the same shops but the stuff in them is a little different. I usually just do department stores?” She replied.

“No no no, that won’t do. I thought you French were supposed to be fashionable?” Zara joked, but the smile was short lived as she flinched at some unseen moment of pain.

“I mean, im not really that sort of person. But that place looks like its similar to where I use to go back home.” Eloise said pointing at a shop a little ahead of them.

“John Lewis?” Summer asked sarcastically.

“Yeah, why is it bad?”

“Not exactly trendy.” Summer replied.

“I mean….” Eloise said, looking down and indicating to her kind of bland fashion choices. Her worn jeans, and fraying green T-shirt whose logo had fallen off months ago.

“Point taken, lets see if we can find you something, maybe a new dress for nights out.” Summer said

“What’s wrong with my dress.” Eloise said, despite thinking the same thing earlier.

“The fact you called it your dress…singular” Zara smiled, it was another fair point that Eloise couldn’t really argue with.

Walking into the large department store the group made their way up a couple of floors to the women’s section. Browsing through the clothes Eloise was happy to find several dresses that she liked, but looks or comments from the others meant that even after an hour she hadn’t found anything that she and the others all liked.

“What about this?” She asked again, pulling out a summery yellow frock and turning to Lucy. But it seemed that her friend was far too preoccupied to reply. Lucy’s shaking hands outstretched and clinging to the metal frame that was covered in discount clothing. Her face sweaty and she was starting to rock where she stood, her eyes twitching and unfocused.

“Nah, that’s too my first prom and not drunk night out.” Zara said, sideling up to her with arms full of clothes and ignoring Lucy. Summer appearing next with Julia as she draped another dress on top.

“Alright, here are the only acceptable things I have found in this entire store” She continued dumping the load into Eloise’s arms, a slight grimace in Zara’s face as she did so. The sign of discomfort enough to make her realise that she and the others were probably trying to use this as a distraction from their own bladders, just like Lucy. It explained why her and Summer were being so particular and full on about this.

“Changing rooms are that way.” Julia said, pointing behind her.

Grabbing a number from the assistant she slid the curtain closed and began to change. Inspecting the chosen clothing one at a time and dismissing half of them without even trying them on. Anything stupidly tight, revealing or just crass was thrown on the No pile.

“Are you going to show us anything, or just stay in there the whole time.” Summer said loudly from outside.

Inspecting herself in the mirror she had to admit that this latest black dress was nice. It was a little more feminine that she usually dressed, with semi-transparent black netting sections across her shoulders and under her arms. But flattening it out and inspecting it from the side it seemed to be the right level of fancy and comfortable. Doing a couple of stretches she was happy to feel the fabric stretching or moving slightly, more than enough to accommodate real life, although it had ridden up her thighs slightly.

Opening the curtain she walked back out to see the others, the group now sat on chairs just outside. The four of them sitting uncomfortably, their feet tapping on the carpet from both their desperation and being fed up of waiting. Only Lucy’s feet remained still, her body rigid and unmoving as she sat forward on her chair. It might just have been the room but it looked as if she was turning as white as a sheet, Lucy’s skin no longer clammy but almost wet looking as the strong lights reflected off her forehead. The same unconscious look in her eyes even as her head moved up so she could get a look at Eloise.

“What about this?” Eloise said, giving a little half turn.

“You look nice” Summer said, smiling. “I agree, it suits you” Julia added.

“More importantly its hot without being slutty” Zara said, clearly patting herself on the back for finding something like that in this shop.

“And its only £24.00” Eloise replied, half ignoring that last comment. Although it was nice to know it wasn’t too revealing.

“Alright next go for the blue one!” Zara said excitedly.

Returning to the changing room she spotted the one Zara was probably talking about, a light blue pencil dress hung next to the rest. Putting it on she was worried to see it only just made it half way down her thighs, there was no way she would wear this in public. What happened to hot without slutty she thought to herself. Although she should probably show the others just to make Zara happy. She had really been trying to find something she liked and Eloise did appreciate their efforts. Even if they were in part to distract themselves, she would have to do something like this again when they and especially Lucy felt a little more comfortable.

Pulling the dress down as far as it would go she walked out, trying to keep her legs together to stop it riding up and flashing anyone in the shop.

“Ohh,” Zara said, putting a hand on her chest when she saw her. “Do I know how to pick out a dress or what?”

“It’s a little…little” Eloise said, pulling it down again.

“Its fine, you’re a young woman out to have fun”

“I think it might be a bit too much for her first dress of that type.” Summer said, agreeing with Eloise.

“Ok fine.” Zara said, her face slightly sullen.

“But I am going to get the back one” Eloise replied, thankful to see her friend perk up a little. Returning to the changing room she enjoyed putting her regular clothes back on, they were much more her style and the casual attire felt almost like a second skin at this point.

“Can we get some lunch?” Summer asked as they lined up at the tills, Eloise carrying her new dress.

“Sure, there is a good court a little ways over there, I noticed it as we walked in” she replied.

 

“Grabbing a table they all sat down for a bite to eat, the busy shopping centre filled with people rushing around beside them. Biting into her “French” pastry Eloise was starting to people watch many of them, although her attention was taken by those sitting around the table mostly. With nothing to occupy their minds many of them had returned to bouncing their legs, the uncomfortable metal chairs only worsening their awkward postures. But while Zara and Summer seemed to be handling it slightly better despite their desperate jiggling and bulging bladders, Lucy and now Julia seemed to be struggling.

Lucy hadn’t been very talkative during their shopping, the beads of sweat and soft moans emanating from her sure signs she wasn’t doing well, even as she had accepted a large soda with her meal. But next to her Julia seemed even more rigid and had been almost as quiet as the read head. Actually, thinking about it the bookish black-haired woman hadn’t said much all day. Trailing around behind Summer she had offered her opinion when asked, but it was clear she was struggling to get out of her own head.

“You doing alright?” Eloise asked, breaking the silence.

“What, yeah im ok why?” Julia said, her tightly crossed legs stopping from moving for a moment.

“Just seem a little quiet.” Eloise replied.

“Oh, sorry. Yeah im good.” She said, smiling at her before quickly looking down at her own meal, picking up the sandwich but not looking up at her again.

“I can’t believe classes are still cancelled” Julia muttered into it, Zara and Summer giving her knowing glances as to what might have been the real reason behind the frustration.

After finishing up their food, the five of them were on the prowl again. This time not just for Eloise, although it still seemed that Zara was doing her best to get her to buy something a little more showing.

“Oooh, can we try TopShop?” Zara said, pointing to the shop slightly in front of them. “I don’t know if they will have anything you are looking for, but I need some bits too.”

Picking out a couple of things over the next couple of hours Zara and Julia found their way to the changing rooms yet again, the others moving over so they could help judge their choices. Sitting on one of the uncomfortable square stools Eloise watched as Lucy slowly paced around them rather than sit, an almost constant look of concern on her face as she fought the visible waves of desperation. But she wasn’t the only one, Eloise had been seeing more and more signs that all of the others were in need of a restroom. From clenching thighs, crossed legs and even a few crotch grabs from Zara.

“This is cute, what do you think?” Zara asked emerging from a changing room and doing a little twirl in a short emerald dress, its design covered in palm leaves but in quite a subtle way. Putting a hand on her bladder Zara closed her eyes and Eloise could tell she was kicking herself for the quick turn. Her movement sending her bladders contents sloshing around inside her.  “Although it’s a little tight” She added, trying to pinch the synthetic material from her protruding bladder, taking a moment to press a hand between her legs.

“It looks good” Eloise said.

“I think I’m going to get it” She said, admiring herself in the floor to roof mirror, her left-hand lingering for a moment on the bulge in her abdomen. Grabbing their things, it was yet another shop down on their spree, the girl’s heads turning as they walked, trying to spot the next place they should go.

“Oh hey, why don’t we try FatFace.” Summer suggested, pointing a few shops up the corridor. “They usually have some good deals at the start of term.”

Walking across the main corridor out of the front doors of the last shop Lucy seemed to slow down before stopping completely. A weird look on her face as she stood there quivering slightly, her eyes wide and staring at the wall opposite for a few moments.

“Are you ok?” Eloise asked, already knowing the answer but unsure of exactly what she could do to help. She had honestly been surprised that Lucy had lasted this long given the desperation she had shown two days earlier. It was getting difficult to gauge how desperate her housemates were.

“Yeah of course” She forced another clearly pained smile on her face and with visible effort started walking again. Her face even paler than it had been in the last shop, the natural light coming through the glass roof highlighting her sweat covered skin.

But a few steps later she was forced to stop again, breathing heavily through her nose with an even more pained expression on her face. A quiet grunt escaping her as all of the others turned to look at her.

“Are you sure you are ok, you don’t look….” Eloise started, watching the sweat drip from the red head, her eyes frantic and getting wider by the second.

“Oh no” Lucy whimpered almost silently as she grimaced deeply, her torso twitching “Im sorry guys, but I think im…about…too….”

As Eloise looked down at Lucy’s legs she could see a single stream of perfectly clear, almost pure looking liquid was beginning to roll down the back of her thigh. The thin stream looking more like a leak as it reflected brightly off the sunlight from above. It silently speed across her calf and began to overflow her shoe, leaving a glistening trail down her leg as it went. But despite the thin stream it didn’t stop, even as the seconds passed and the stream continued Lucy started to groan, a hand moving to her bladder for a few moments.

A clear spasm rocked her body hard and with that ended the quiet and slow wetting, a loud splashing noise echoing back up off the hard-tiled floor of the shop as Lucy’s bladder exploded. As Eloise continued to watch in awe it seemed to go from one extreme to the other, as multiple heavy streams drained out from beneath her tight dress. Lucy’s pee falling in an avalanche between her bare legs, forking down them and joining the expanding puddle beneath her as she let out another groan. Another spasm shaking her body as her mouth hung open, her eyes screwed shut as she tried to blot out the world.

“Oh, fuck” Lucy muttered quietly, her teeth clenched in relief or embarrassment.

The others watched on in silence, even the stores music seemed to fade away into the background for Eloise. The wetting amplified by the hard surfaces that seemed to surround them, the splattering reverberating up off them and filling her ears. Taking a couple of steps away she was mesmerised by the splashing and bouncing of her friend’s accident as her pee continued to escape her, spreading further and further across the floor in all directions. Light dancing off her wet legs and in the ripples of the puddle beneath her. It took over a full minute despite the speed of her accident for Lucy to finally run out. Her bladder finally empty after so many hours.

“I…I cant believe that happened.” Lucy said defeated, her voice almost horse as if she had been crying or screaming for hours.

“Maybe we should move on…” Summer said, aware of a large security man with a cross face walking towards them.

“I….” Lucy muttered for a second, uncomprehending what had just happened before being led away from her giant mess by the others. Drops of her urine still falling from her legs as they walked away, an awkward silence falling between them as they struggled for what to say. For the first time in as long as they had known each other, one of them had wet themselves. It would have been almost unthinkable less than a week ago for a third year to fall from grace in such a way. They were supposed to be the unbreakable bladders of the university, trained to withstand anything. Yet, as they led their wet friend away, many of the group couldn’t help but think about their own limitations for the first time.

 

 

-----------------------------

The first of the group has lost it, the air of invincibility for the group may be leaving them. Will classes start again or will something else happen to the rest of them?

Chapter 5: Cost of Composure

“We lost one” The same woman said, a hint of nervousness in her voice for the first time as she spoke into the dimly lit room once again.

“A member of Iron house?” came the perfectly calm reply.

“I’m afraid so. It was the one that was dosed instead of the first year.”

“A feat to last as long as she had given the circumstances.” Came the impressed sounding reply, the first sign of emotion from the woman standing at her bookshelf.

“The device recorded a volume above her previous record, suggesting that despite the lack of holds she has done recently and today’s events, she may be a good candidate.”

“Even though so many are beating her?”

“Its true many students are out holding her in length, but I doubt many will reach the same volume. I still think it’s worth keeping her in the running even though she didn’t make the 150 hour mark that we expected her too.”

“Good, I didn’t put her with the others in Iron house for nothing...”

 

That Night Eloise couldn’t help but dream about what she had seen, images of Lucy’s accident plaquing her dreams as the events of the day played themselves out again and again. A mix of guilt and fascination fuelling the dreams of the sometimes even larger than life accident she had witnessed. Again and again the desperate Lucy would plead or beg with her to let her use a toilet, asking her why she hadn’t said anything about the diuretics in the beer she had drunk. Yet each time Eloise stayed silent, her heart beating rapidly as she watched it unfold one more time, each wetting more exciting that the last, the anticipation making her hunger for the moment of loss.

Now she found herself under a giant Lucy, her booming voice calling to her.

“Is this what you wanted, is that what you hoped for” She said, before the giant woman let lose a torrent of liquid above her as it fell towards her in slow motion. Eloise almost cried out raising her hands above her face before the gigantic droplets hit her.

“Hhhye huuu…what?” Eloise jolted awake, her hair matted to her face with sweat as she felt her clothes sticking to her.

“What the fuck was that” she whispered to herself, the memories of the dreams not fading away as they usually did. Blinking her eyes a few times she adjusted back to the real world, still slightly weirded out by the dreams as her heart beat in her chest.

 

As they sat around the table that morning the tension in the room was palpable, the women around her unable to stop the occasional grunt or groan escape their lips while easting their cereal. An otherwise ordinary task that seemed to be causing a ludicrous level of exertion for her house mates. Their bladders had truly been pushed to their maximum capacity, a fact that now one of them had lost control was starting to sink in. But despite that, it seemed none of them were making any moves to make life easier for themselves. Their training, pride and infallible belief in themselves overriding any rational thoughts, even as they winced in discomfort.

Unable to take the silence Eloise tried to think of something to say, the constant tapping of Summers and Julia’s feet on the vinyl floor making it more difficult. “So what are you guys planning on doing today?” She asked.

“Not sure” Lucy said, her legs still but shoulders sagged. It was clear to everyone she was feeling down about what had happened, it would probably be worth thinking of something to do together to cheer her up Eloise thought to herself.

“I’ve got to prepare for the gymnastics performance tomorrow. So I will be at the gym all afternoon.” Zara said before noisily slurping her milk from her spoon. “Yeah im going with her to see if I can help” Vanessa added before taking a large sip of orange juice. The only one other than Eloise to have a large drink on the table as well.

Wait, Zara was still planning on doing her routine? Eloise couldn’t imagine what it must feel like or the strength it must take to do it without exploding everywhere. If that simple twist had been enough to cause her discomfort yesterday, what must a flip through the air do. But there it was again, the sense of anticipation or excitement to know these women’s limits.

“I have work” Summer said matter of factly, standing slowly to place her bowl in the sink. Her tight black work trousers clearly digging into her bladder. The zip partially undone at the top as they struggled to accommodate her bladders size.

“Im heading to the library, going to see if I can get some more….” Julia winced visibly, her eyes closing and lips pursing as she stifled a groan. “More prep in for the test” She finished, her voice wavering.

“Mind if I come with you?” Eloise asked, “I think I should probably start on that reading list”

“Sure thing. Will be nice to have some company.” Julia replied.

“What about you guys?” She asked, looking at Kay and Allie who sat cross legged on the sofa next to them. Their dangling feet wiggling as almost a mirror image of one another.

“Not sure” Kay replied, “Might order a pizza later.”

“Not really an activity.” Allie joked. “But no I don’t have any real plans either. I do have to do my laundry though”

“Since we don’t have any plans, why don’t we all go out for lunch?” Vanessa suggested to the room.

“No fair!” Summer said, sliding her water bottle into her work bag.

“Your place serves food right, any chance you can get a break to join us for a bit if we come to you?” Allie asked.

“Oh maybe!” Summer said happily.

“Can we make it brunch rather than Lunch. I don’t want to be too late to the gym.” Zara said.

“Sure thing” Vanessa agreed, none of the others voicing a concern.

“Anyway I have got to get to work, text me the details” Summer said, slinging her bag over her shoulder and wincing slightly as it made contact with her abdomen. Despite hitting her in the back, it seemed that any pressure anywhere caused her more discomfort.

 

 

“We told Summer 11 and its five past.” Lucy said as they walked up the road. Now unencumbered, her movements had returned to a more normal pace. But with the others still struggling they were walking considerably slower than they had been before today. Not that Eloise could blame them as she walked beside them, occasionally sneaking glances at their mammoth bladders that continued to fascinate her. Academically she had read about super holders, but until now she had never met anyone who came close to the medical oddities or extreme cases in those texts. Thinking back to what Allie had said some days ago, it was really no surprise that companies would be head hunting her house mates if they were capable of such feats.

“Its just 5 minutes” Kay said, her face a little more red than usual.

“If Julia hadn’t forgotten her work book and gone back for it we might have made it on time.” Vanessa said, slightly annoyed.

“I’m sorry I was a little distracted.” Julia admitted, a hand deep in the pockets of her tightly fitting trousers and making Eloise wonder if she was actually holding herself as the group walked along.

“That only took like 2 minutes anyway” Allie responded, siding with Julia. “It was Zara on the phone before we left.” She finished, pointing the finger at yet another of the group. The tensions flaring as they each battled their own bodies which were clearly causing them more than a little irritation or short temper.

“Guys its fine, I am sure Summer will understand.” Eloise said, trying to broker a truce but only succeeding in causing a now awkward silence between them all as they continued walking uneasily. The only sounds the heavy breathing and panting of her bloated housemates, added to by the occasional groan and grimace as pulses raced through their full bodies.

As they walked through the campus and approached the coffee shop Eloise was becoming aware of a number of looks from those they passed. Passers-by watching the parade of desperate women, some with envy of their skills and others with jealousy that made them want to see them all reach their final limits. Although a couple seemed to be sporting similar bulges, their own faces wracked with desperation and pain. It seemed that her house mates were not the only ones still holding and suffering for it, the universities prowess making many more push themselves to their absolute limits.

Entering the coffee shop they found themselves a large table, her friends grunting as they forced themselves to sit down. Visibly sighing and taking a few moments to recover from their walk, some resting a hand on or giving their crotch a little squeeze for the extra reassurance. It was clear they were all at their wits end.

“Hey guys, I couldn’t get a break right now but I will be with you in like 15 minutes.” Summer said, approaching the table and standing with her legs tightly crossed. The pose doing nothing to hide her bladders prominence.

“Do you want us to wait for you?” Eloise asked, trying to look her friend in the eyes and not just stare at her abdomen.

“No, if we order now it will probably take 10 – 15 minutes anyway which should be when I get a break.”

“Ok that sounds good.” Eloise replied.

“What can I get for you?” Summer said, giving her best customer service smile. But the twitching at the edges of her smile combined with the furrowing in her brow somewhat broke the surface level of composure she was displaying.

“Can I get the chilli Jacket potato” Eloise replied, going for a slightly heavier lunch to get her energy up for a long night of studying.

“Sure thing and to dr…drink?”

“I’ll have a black tea if you do that?”

“Ok, whose next?” Summer said, her pencil finishing Eloise’s order as she looked up expecting for someone to speak. But instead it seemed they were all to preoccupied, their eyes staring down at the menu’s but none of them taking anything in. Summer herself was standing waiting, her thighs rubbing against each other as she tried to look as composed as possible.

“Julia?” She asked, the direct question snapping the black-haired woman out of it.

“Im sorry, im not really hungry now I think about it.” She said shifting uncomfortably.

“Come on, I thought we were eating together, I convinced my boss to let me give you guys a discount.” Summer said, clearly a little annoyed.

“Ok, I think I will just have a cheese and tomato panini” She said, choosing a lighter option from the menu.

“Yeah that sounds good” A couple of the others joined in and soon the orders were taken.

About 15 minutes later a slightly stressed looking Summer brough over the tables food and joined them as they began to eat, making small talk and mainly listening to Zara talk about her performance tomorrow. Eloise was taken aback by how she spoke, sounding either oblivious of her current condition or possessing a superhuman willpower that would allow her to perform her ordinarily taxing routine with a full bladder. Either way Eloise was not going to miss it tomorrow.

She was also happy to see that despite the tumultuous start to lunch things seemed to have calmed down a little. Their desperation still obvious but they were at least talking to each other.

“Summer, breaks over” A older woman announced to her from the till about an hour later. The blonde letting out a loud sigh as she stood uneasily, pressing her legs together tightly before grabbing up the plates they had eaten from and walking back towards the shop front.

“Yeah I should probably head off to the gym.” Zara said, adjusting herself in her seat slightly.

“And I guess we should go to the Library?” Eloise added in the direction of Julia who had once again been far more quiet than was usual for even her. Getting a nod she stood up quickly, looking over at Julia who seemed to be having second thoughts about standing. Her hand resting on the table for a moment as she remained firmly in her seat, before finally and with a loud grunt she pushed herself up from it. Her eyes scrunching closed and lips pursing together to stop any more noises escaping.

 

Arriving at the library Eloise was impressed by the sheer size of it. The old brickwork building at least six stories high, busts and statues adorning the outside of the classic building. Since moving to England she had missed the old European architecture that she had grown to consider normal to her home, the large town she grew up in was full of the French equivalent. Just looking at it made her heart feel a little fuller, a little closer to home.

“This place looks amazing!” she said,

“You haven’t seen the inside” Julia smiled, a hand once again deep in her pocket as the pair walked slowly along.

But she was right, entering the front door they found themselves in a large dome roofed section, sunlight beaming down through the centre, with the floors of books above them.

“So we should probably start on the fourth floor, its where a lot of the main study books you will need for first year are. The place uses the dewy decimal system, so if you go up to one of the computers you can search for books by name and they will give you the number. Then just follow the numbers to the right area.”

“Ok thank you!” Eloise said, glancing over at the computers.

“Uh…” Julia groaned again, bending over where she stood. “Lets take the lift to the sixth and I’ll point out a couple of books that might be useful.”

“Sure thing.”

 

“I used that a lot in first year” Julia said, pausing and taking out another book. Putting it into the heavily ladened arms of Eloise who was starting to struggle with the weight. The dozen books from the reading list and Julia’s recommendations feeling like a lead weight.

“I….uh……uh” Julia suddenly breathed out heavily, doubling over slightly again.

“Are you ok?”

“Yeah I am fine”, Julia said panting slightly. Bracing herself on a book case for a moment she seemed to regain her composure as she stared at the floor.

“I think that should do for now, why...why don’t we find somewhere to sit and study.”

Taking faltering steps for differing reasons the duo walked around the book cases and to a small desk and chairs situated near the corner of the building. A secluded and quiet spot for them to study with no distractions.

Sitting down Julia grimaced as her rear met the seat, the change of posture not helping the full woman’s bladder. But despite this, a moment later she pulled a large 6 pack of energy drinks from her bag and placed them on the table. Pulling the first one out and cracking it open and beginning to sip from it. Taking a seat next to her Eloise could already see her friends legs beginning to vibrate under the desk. Julia’s left hand resting on her thigh as it moved up and down at a breakneck pace.

It was difficult to concentrate with her friend moving so erratically next to her, occasionally gasping or grunting, but somehow Eloise managed to get pulled into her studying. Taking notes on the history and world cultures of Urology. It was a fascinating subject that really captured her interest, she had always been interested in how different people and cultures viewed it. She couldn’t help but smile sub-consciously as she took her notes, she was living her dream of being at one of the most prestigious universities and learning about something she truly loved. What more could she have wished for!

She stayed in this revere for hours, although to her they felt like minutes. Her mind completely occupied by her studying, until a loud groan caught her attention. Somehow, she had almost forgotten about her friend sitting next to her, but as she looked over she could see Julia doubled over in her seat. Her eyes were closed and she was bent over so far her head was almost making contact with the desk. Beads of sweat were forming and running down the sides of her pale face, falling onto the notebook she had beneath her.

“ooohhhh” She groaned again, her body shaking violently and causing her glasses to slip from her face and clunk onto the desk. The close proximity of her face probably saving them from any damage. The loud noise making Julia open her eyes and straighten slightly. A shaky hand reaching for her glasses and putting them back on.

“Are you sure your ok?” Eloise asked again even though it was clear she wasn’t.

“why does it have to be so hot in here. Its making me sweat and my glasses keep sliding down my nose.” Julia responded, ignoring the real point of the question. Even opening another energy drink and taking a sip, it seemed like the more of them she drank the quicker she drank. A vicious circle that Eloise was sure wasn’t helping her, because the room wasn’t hot in the slightest. In fact Eloise she could feel a distinct chill in the area, the old building apparently not having much in the way of heating.

But after watching her friend try to go back to studying she did the same, occasionally glancing at Julia who was now breathing loudly through her nose. The constant unerring noise coming from her making it slightly harder than before to concentrate.

But soon the heavy breathing stopped from her nose and looking over Eloise could see Julia biting the hemline to her shirt as she pulled it up in anguish, her legs continuing to jig ferociously where she sat. The nervous behaviour pulling her top up and revealing her massively distended bladder that seemed to be shaking on its own. Pulses and ripples racing across the surface of her skin and flapping the fabric of her shirt. The hem line of her Khaki trousers pressing viciously into it, a thick and painful red line easy to see on her white skin.

But somehow it seemed the woman sat next to her was able to push the thoughts of desperation from her mind and take notes from the book she was reading. A task that Eloise was unsure she would be able to in similar circumstances. Even now she could feel a distinct fullness in her own bladder having not relieved herself since the morning. Although as she thought about it she realised she hadn’t drunk that much, her water bottle only half empty.

Taking a long sip from her bottle she Eloise noticed Julia’s frantic movements stop for a moment, the black haired woman’s her eyes widening as she let out a couple of deep rapid breaths. Another pulse raced around her body as she let out short pained breaths.

“Oh…” Julia said quietly as if she was surprised by something, her eyes still wide and twitching for a moment before a loud splattering noise drew the attention of Eloise.

A waterfall of pee was draining off every side of the fabric chair that glistened brightly as Julia began to wet herself. A loud hissing noise escaping as what must have been a heavily pressurised stream burst through her defences, spraying noisily into her pants and instantly saturating them. The navy material hiding much of the damage, but the backs of her legs becoming obviously wet. Streams rained from where her knees bent over the chairs while a wide waterfall fell from behind her and off the back of the chair. A large puddle instantly forming under her as she gazed forwards, her eyes still twitching but not changing any emotion.

Eloise couldn’t believe what she was seeing, Julia was completely wetting herself in the library. Despite the copious signs of desperation through the day and even the last couple of days, the sudden loss and lack of emotion had caught her by surprise. As was the size of the slightly yellow puddle, a faint sweet small emanating from Julia’s piss that she could only assume was the effect of the can after can of energy drinks Julia had forced into her still emptying bladder.

For more than three minutes pee rained down off the chair, the ever-expanding puddle spreading out in all directions from the chair on the level and waxed floor. The chair itself was completely sodden as were her trousers and shoes. Urine pooled against her skin, racing down her legs and overflowing her converse shoes, the light grey turning a saturated dark grey all over as even the shoe laces seemed to be soaking up Julia’s accident.

Finally the loud splattering streams had finished, the quiet drips from the chair the only sound in their corner of the library. A silence that seemed to last forever came over them, Julia still staring forwards in disbelief, like a deer in the headlights of a car.

“I….I thought I could hold it.” Julia said, her eyes blinking as she finally moved her head to look down at her saturated trousers and the puddle beneath her. “I haven’t lost control like this since…. I cant believe I just wet myself.” She said, her shoulders sagging as her body started to unwind itself from the knots she had tied it in to keep her bladder contained.

“I….” Eloise said, at a loss for words, still staring at the mesmerising drops of Julia’s pee as they splashed into the giant puddle. Ripples radiating out in a symmetrical pattern as her puddle continued to spread.

“I need to go and get changed.” Julia said standing, a sudden loud splattering noise making Eloise wince slightly as the pee caught between her friends legs fell to join the rest of it on the floor.

The walk back was quiet, Eloise could tell Julia was embarrassed and didn’t want to talk about it. If it had been anyone else they might have gotten away with no one noticing. But given the sudden disappearance of the giant bulge sticking out of her, she was sure the others in her house would all realise what had happened when they saw her, even if they didn’t see the mess she had made of her clothes. Even now as they approached the house drips were still falling from Julia’s clothes, such was the amount they had tried to absorb.

 

She was right though, the others had all been shocked to see her in such a state. Many of them in the hallway chatting when the wet Julia had returned moments after Zara and Vanessa. It was clear they were shocked and a little shaken by another of the house losing control of their body, but neither said anything. Assuming like Eloise that silence was the best option, for Julia’s sake they were pretending that nothing had happened. But something most certainly had.

 

The morning sun was barely above the horizon and her room was still largely shrouded in darkness when Eloise woke the next day. Most of the time if she woke this early she would fall back to sleep, but for some reason the last few days she had been waking with an immense sense of excitement about what the day would bring. Maybe that was just what being at university was like.

Getting up she turned on her laptop, browsing social media and checking the university news. It seemed like despite not having classes everything else was carrying on like normal at the university. The only thing that caught her eye was a headline saying they were currently investigating a possible water leak on the sixth floor of the library and that electronics in a certain corner were disabled for safety.

Hearing slow and heavy footsteps walk past her room and the clunk of the door she figured it was probably time to get some breakfast. Walking towards the kitchen a few minutes later she could already hear the soft grunts and groans emanating from two of her housemates. Vanessa was stood by the counter making some toast as she bounced on double crossed legs. Her long muscular legs allowing her the strange added benefit of tying themselves in multiple knots. The mundane task of buttering her toast causing her to breath heavily and grunt with exertion from time to time.

At the Table Summer was doing something similar, leaning back in her chair to give her giant bladder extra room. The force of her vibrating legs causing her entire body to shake as she tried to spoon cereal into her mouth from a great distance. Drops of milk falling from the shaking spoon that she was staring at intently, using all of her brain power to try and guide it to her mouth without losing its contents all over the table or herself. Every few seconds that passed she would shiver strongly, a grunt escaping twitching mouth as her overburdened bladder made its presence known.   

“Hey, how are you guys doing?” Eloise asked, a greeting but also hoping for a little bit more.

“Morning” Vanessa said, grimacing slightly as she twisted to greet her.

“Hi, im doing good thanks.” Summer said, her sweaty and twitching face suggesting the opposite.

“Good.” Eloise smiled, slightly saddened by the short replied but given the energy it must me taking them both to contain their bladders she couldn’t really fault them for not being talkative.

“Was it Zara that just left, she nervous about later?”

“No I don’t think so.” Summer replied.

“Although she might need to be.” Vanessa added casually.

“What do you mean?”

“I mean, come on im not the only one to notice how much trouble she is having sitting still let alone jumping around.”

“Vanessa!” Summer said, surprised. “Like you can say anything” she added.

“What! Look we all need to go and im not saying I would be able to hold it doing her routine either. but I know the rest of us can control ourselves until the main block opens up.”

Just looking at the pair of them squirming even as they talked about it made Eloise start to doubt that sentence. Although they had held it far longer than anything, she would have thought possible. So despite their clear signs of desperation, perhaps their confidence was well founded.

“I would have thought the same about Julia and Lucy thought.” Summer said quietly, her friend’s accidents clearly playing on her mind as another powerful pulse or shiver seemed to race around her body.

“What about me?” Julia said, walking into the kitchen to join them. A heavy bag on her shoulder and giant coffee cup in her hand that she emptied the dregs from and began to make a fresh batch.

“Oh, we were just wondering If you and Lucy were coming to Zara’s performance later.” Vanessa said quickly as she turned around, her face grimacing once again and reminding Eloise of Zara the day before. Vanessas skin flushing red either from exertion or from almost being caught talking about Julia’s accident. While they might have all been open and talked about their need to pee earlier in the week, their friend’s loss of control still seemed to be a possible sore spot for them. Unsurprising given their status around the campus as some of the best holders.

“Oh yeah sure, I wouldn’t miss it!” Julia said happily, fishing out two six packs of energy drinks and sliding them into her bag along with two large water bottles and the coffee cup. It seemed that despite her accident just a few hours earlier, the black-haired woman was taking no note of it. Going straight back to drinking copious amounts of liquid and making Eloise wonder if it had even had any impact on her. Lucy for her part had seemed dejected since her accident, although being the first may have only increased the humiliation she felt.

“Im going to head to the Library again and then will meet up with you guys there.” Julia said, zipping up her bag.

Behind them the front door opened loudly, hurried footsteps approaching them.

“Guys!” An out of breath Zara said, leaning heavily on the doorframe with her hand as she doubled over. Panting heavily she tried to catch her breath, her chest and entire body heaving up and down as she groaned and scrunched up her face from discomfort. But given what Eloise was seeing it was really no wonder she was so uncomfortable.

Now dressed in a skin tight leotard Zara’s bladder bulge seemed to have grown several inches. The heavy growth in her abdomen making it look like she had put on at least 20 pounds, the expanding organ now almost shrink wrapped by the lycra gym wear that must have been torture on her. The stylishly tie dye and ordinarily tight-fitting clothes stretched to their limits and pressing against her mercilessly.

“Does anyone have any idea how to use this?” she asked, shakily holding up and old cassette tape.

“What?” Vanessa asked, Eloise noticing her friends eyes glancing every few seconds at the pronounced bladder bulge on their mutual housemate. At least it wasn’t just her, although it was definitely hard to miss.

“The stupid sound system doesn’t work with my phone. The only option is this thing.”

“You hadn’t tried using the sound system till right now?” Summer asked.

“No, now can someone please tell me they know how to put music on this thing?”

“I do” Eloise said, for some reason holding her hand up slightly.

“Awesome, you are my new best friend now please we have like 4 hours!” Zara pleaded.

“Sure thing, we just have to find a track player. They might have one in the computer labs?”

“Those are in the teaching blocks” Vanessa pointed out.

“Fuck!” Zara swore loudly, curtsying slightly and pressing her now crossed thighs slightly harder against each other.

“The might be one in the Library” Julia said.

“Ok lets go!” Zara said, turning and storming off towards the front door with a surprising turn of speed given her current situation.

Grabbing her coat on the way past her room the pair of them soon made it to the library and with the help of a slightly bemused looking receptionist pointed them towards the room they needed. With the help of Eloise and a couple of youtube videos they managed to convert her music track from her phone, onto a computer, onto a cd and then finally onto the cassette. A lengthy process that saw the gymnast vibrate around the room as she waited impatiently for it to finish up.

Now with the cassette in hand they rushed back over to the gym with a little over an hour before the start of the competition. Moving to the booth they handed the girl behind the sound system the cassette and a few moments later they could both breath in relief as Zara’s song started playing over the gym speakers.

“Thank god” Zara said, doubling over and putting a hand on her thigh she breathed out heavily.

“Oooh does someone need to pee” A mocking tone came from behind them.

“I should have guessed you would be here Bethany” Zara said, her eyes narrowing.

“Looks like someone could use a bathroom. You look positively bursting” The leggy blonde said gleefully.

“Well, looks like someone isn’t capable of holding it at all. I bet you scurried off somewhere to pee like a little child. How many times have you gone, four, five?” Zara said, a new fire burning in her eyes.

“Hmmmf” Bethany scoffed, dismissing the claims but it was clear to Eloise that Zara had hit a chord.

“It doesn’t matter…I’ve just been focused on winning this contest, something im sure you wont be doing looking like that” She said, pointing at Zara’s bulging bladder.

“I will win this and keep control of my bladder.” Zara shot back, the pair of them trading insults and making Eloise feel a little awkward.

“Really, well remember to stay hydrated” Bethany said, a smirk on her face as she grabbed her water bottle and held it above her mouth. Squeezing it she noisily drank the water as it squirted into her mouth, an audible rushing noise making the edges of Zara’s eyes twitch and her foot begin to fidget despite her best efforts to remain still.

Finishing her bottle Zara’s apparent rival smirked again. “Looking a little hot and bothered there Za-za”

“Just make sure you remember to pee before you start, that looked like a lot of water for someone like you.” Zara said, stuttering slightly but the comment making Bethany narrow her eyes. The two fierce competitors locking eyes for a few moments before Bethany turned and walked away, flicking her hair over her shoulder.  

“What was that about?” Eloise asked.

“Oh its just her. She is just upset because we use to be in the same leagues in most things in first year. But I’ve progressed and she is still stuck down at the bottom, I’ve even heard she failed the end of year 2 test and had to get remedial catch up lectures to help her.”

“Is that all it is?” Eloise asked, their rivalry seemingly too big for just that.

“Yeah, as far as I know anyway. I cant think of anything else.” Zara said shrugging.

A buzz from her pocket made Eloise pull out her phone and as she opened the text message from Summer her heart skipped a beat.

“Hey Eloise. Sorry to ask you but are you at home, would you be able to bring me some new trousers to the coffee shop.”

Had she wet herself at work? A strange sense of sadness and missing out swept over her, making Eloise realise she had apparently been looking forward to seeing her friends hold on as much as possible. Now to have missed the final hours of Summers struggle she felt like she had lost an opportunity to witness something amazing.

“What wrong?” Zara asked.

“Oh…nothing. Sorry Summers just asked me to grab something for her.”

“She is always forgetting something.” Zara smiled.

“Yeah, are you going to be ok here?” Eloise asked

“Yeah, I’ll be fine now, thanks.”

 

luckily the gym wasn’t too far away from the house and less than 15 minutes later Eloise was walking up the road carrying a pair of her housemates work trousers in a small bag.  Her heart starting to beat faster the closer she got to the coffee shop and as she walked in she couldn’t help but look around for any signs of Summers accident. It had to have been over 20 minutes ago, but maybe there would be a wet floor sign, a mop and bucket, something.

But as she looked around she was happy to see that while there was no sign of an accident, it was because Summer was still holding. Her friend currently tending to a table, her massive bladder bulge and shaking legs indicating that Eloise had in fact not missed anything.

Looking up Summer caught sight of her, giving a weak wave and half-hearted smile the blonde pointed towards the staff only door that she was then led through.

“Here you go, everything ok?” Eloise asked, now wondering why her friend had asked for spare trousers.

“Yeah” Summer said breathlessly, her legs continuing to walk on the spot as she stood there. “The stupid button popped off” she said and looking down at the waist of her trousers it was no surprise given how much her bladder was poking out of her. “Had to use a safety pin, but I didn’t know if it would hold up either. You are a life saver”

“No problem, you want me to wait for your shift to be over. Can head up to the gym together?” Eloise offered.

“Yeah that sounds nice. Should only be about 30 minutes, I’ll get you a free tea while you wait. It’s the least I can do…but if you wouldn’t mind?” Summer said, her hands holding up her unbuckled trousers.

“Yeah sorry” Eloise said, leaving her friend to get changed.

A couple of minutes later Summer reappeared, her face much redder than it had been, her lips pursed as she looked like she was trying even harder not to let out a groan as she walked by. The new trousers apparently slightly tighter than the last and given the fraying fabric they were only just holding on too.

Sipping her tea she watched Summer serve the tables for the next 25 minutes, each moment that passed making her look more and more desperate. She would try her best when serving the customers to act normal, but she was so far past normal it was impossible to hide it from them. Whenever she thought she was out of sight she would grab her crotch, squeezing it in a vice like grip as she held on for dear life. Her frantic typing and distracted serving leading to more than a couple of errors that she would have to painstakingly correct. Her attention and brainpower being taken away from her hold and put back where it should have been and correctly serving the customers.

But despite appearances of being moments from exploding all over the shop Summer managed to make it to the end of her shift 40 minutes later. Disappearing hurriedly into the staff room once again, the swinging door revealing just enough of the room that Eloise peeked her start to desperately dance around the room with both her hands buried in her crotch for a few moments before is closed.

Re-emerging summer was suddenly dressed in a light blue polo dress, although the typical thin waistband was currently being pushed out and turning the straight edged dress into something else entirely. The short length of it being made even shorter by the extra size of her bladder as the form fitting dress was forced to go around the large addition to her abdomen.

“Should we go, don’t want to be late?” Summer said uneasily, her exposed knees knocking together where she stood.

 

Meeting up with the others they had all taken their seats in one of the large metal stands that had been built for spectators. Heavy base music filled the air as the gymnasts stretched and prepared on the large floor mat, the group of them waving at Zara as she awkwardly stretched. Eloise hoping her housemate wouldn’t hurt herself by doing her routine while that full of liquid.

Thankfully she didn’t have long to wait, Zara was the third contestant up for her event in the bar vault. She was following her rival Bethany who had managed to score an impressive 32/40. Her tight corkscrew jump off the springboard pleasing the crowd and judge.

As her music started Zara rocked at the start of her run up, even from the stands it was easy to see the sweat gathering on her even before her first run. Breathing heavily Zara started down the mats, her face grimacing with every heavy and slightly off rhythm step. Jumping onto the springboard she twisted her body, tucking up her knees and grunting loudly. Landing on her feet she let out a sharp shout, groaning as she fell to one knee. Her hands firmly between her legs for a moment before the buzzer sounded and she looked up. Her run had been disqualified and looking to her left she could see why, as she had fallen to her knee she was landed outside the yellow landing area, her body crossing the thick red lines that marked their boundary. Puffing out her cheeks she remained in the crouched position for a few seconds longer before taking her place at the start for her second run.

Charging down the mat again she flipped forwards once more, catapulting off the board and into the air where she began to rotate, another loud groan escaping her as she forced her giant bladder to twist inside her. Managing two full rotations with her head just above the beam she readjusted herself to land on her feet but again she was forced to double over. The boom of her feet loud enough to hear over the music, a heavy landing that jostled everything inside her. Even from the stands they could all she her grimace, her hands going between her legs again as she fell to her knees again. But no buzzer sounded this time, she had fallen to her knees within the lines. But such a bad landing was sure to hurt her score even if it was legal.

Watching Zara walk back to the starting run Eloise could tell she was annoyed, kicking her water bottle across from her and earning her a warning from the umpire.

The scores, 2.5, 3.0, 2.0, 2.0.

9.5 the lowest of the competition so far.

Taking her place back at the start Zara was shaking her arms and her head, before it hung still looking down and then at the celling with her eyes closed. As the music started she put a foot forward rocking backwards and forwards a couple of times before sprinting down the runway. Her strides seemed more powerful this time, her legs extending more as she jumped to the springboard. Landing for a moment she launched into the air, her legs quickly swivelling around until she was inverted, corkscrewing her body around not once or twice but three times. Finally adjusting herself in the air once more she tucked her legs in and added a summersault just a foot from the floor before landing on her feet.

This time her posture remained and her hands flew above her head triumphantly, but there wasn’t a smile on her face but a pained grimace. Even as she celebrated all of those watching her including her friends could see the crotch of her bodysuit darkening substantially as the ocean of pee inside her burst through her defences, the sudden jolt shattering all control or perhaps she had simply given it up to achieve a better result. But now as Eloise watched in mild shock a hushed silence filled the room, one of the top holders at the university was currently wetting themselves in an auditorium packed with spectators. A loud splattering noise echoing up off the plastic-coated crash mats, the pool of clear liquid spraying out of her in all directions and at some speed. It looked almost as if someone had a thumb in a hose between her legs as the days of pent up pee soaked through her clothes and raced down her legs that now shone in the lights of the packed auditorium.  

As those around the room began to realise what was going on there was an audible pause in the clapping, before a few moments later it seemed to erupt even louder as Zara continued to wet herself on the centre of the stage. The rapturous applause far louder for some reason, as if the crowd were showing their appreciation of how much and how hard she was trying to contain her bladder. Or perhaps they thought it was some added artform, the bladder university offering a new spectacle of wet gymnastics. It was a strange moment for Eloise, everyone around her clapping madly for her friend who was currently pissing herself, well everyone but Summer.

A couple of people over the Blonde-haired woman had her head in her hands, her ears burning bright red. Looking beneath her it was clear that she too had lost control of her bladder at almost the same moment, a river liquid currently draining down the metal slats and pouring off them onto the wooden floor meters beneath her. Too wrapped up in the show in front of them the audience was missing her accident, but as the applause started to die down an unmistakable sound of liquid dripping onto wood took its place as a couple of those around summer began to look over at the mortified woman who was wetting herself amongst the crowd.

But just as the loud patter of Summers accident starting to make its way through the noise of the auditorium the music started again. The sudden base noise filling the room and sparing Summer further humiliation, only a couple of her housemates seemed to have noticed.  Their red faces looking first at her and then beneath them. Summers stream still adding to the huge puddle under the stand, falling almost three feet and colliding with the solid surface. Her and Zara a mirror image but as one revelled in the applause the other shrank back from the room, hoping no one had noticed as she too lost control of her mammoth bladder. The only saving grace the fact she was wearing a dress, although given her sitting position Eloise could see it running down her thighs and the backs of her blue knee socks darkening in long streaks as her pee soaked into them.

Eloise couldn’t pick who to watch, her head swivelling between Zara who remained on the stage, pee running down her toned legs and darkening the crash mats for meters around her. Or Summer, who still had her head in her hands, the distance her pee falling causing it to bounce and spray an even larger puddle than Zara was creating.

“The scores are in!” The woman in the booth announced.

“10.0, 10.0, 10.0, 10.0, a perfect score!”

Again the crowd erupted in applause, people all around them standing in ovation.

Bowing to them she walked off the stage, a few rivulets still flowing down her legs. But as the music started Zara simply took her place on the side of the stage, sitting in a chair as pee still left her exhausted bladder. A new second puddle forming under her chair as If now she had virtually won, she had no cares in the world. Unlike Summer who continued to hide her face, peeing a steady stream for well over two more minutes. But despite her unmoving body and the loud patter of urine, no one seemed to have noticed other than Eloise and her housemates. Although, someone would surely find the absolutely massive puddle beneath the stand when they came to take it down later that evening. Her mess easily mistaken for a spilt cooler, drips still falling in a wide arc where her pee had run along the bottom of the metal bar beneath her.

The cracks in the groups iron bladders are starting to appear, will any of them be able to hold on?

Thank you all for reading and I really appreciate your comments!

Thank you all so much for the support.

Wow. Three down in a single chapter. Things are really heating up now as the iron ladies start dropping like flies. I admit, I've lost track of who's left that's still filling up, but whoever it is can't have much longer to go, and when their dam breaks the results will be absolutely spectacular.

On the other hand, little Eloise here is becoming quite the expert on observations of women in the final stages of extreme desperation. She could even write a paper on the telltale signs of when a bladder is about to blow: Starting with stiffening movements, shortened breathing, impaired speech, and loss of concentration on other tasks; these are signs that an eruptions is imminent, but there may still be time to get to safety. Then, excessive perspiration begins, accompanies by increased immobility and further shortening of breath, if the bladder bulge is exposed it will likely be seen visibly spasming through the skin; this is the critical zone, when eruption is imminent and perhaps mere minutes away, likely too late to reach a toilet, just time enough to attempt to get to safety, or for a companion to find a bucket to catch what will come next. Finally, the body locks up completely, breathing ceases or drops to bare minimum shallow intakes, eyes often open wide in shock; this is the moment when the victim realizes what is about to happen and attempts one last inevitably futile attempt to regain some semblance of control that will never come, involuntary urination is mere seconds away. At last, the urethral muscles fail, the bladder contracts and forces its load out, the victim attempting to stem the tide and perhaps succeeding momentarily, reducing flow to a spurt or two, but once the breach has been made there is no stopping release, and eventually the full stream will commence, only ending once the bladder is completely voided. It plays out nearly the same way every time, captured in this story in wonderfully vivid detail. That's thesis material right there, especially at this school!

One thought that occurred to me though: As proud as these girls are, I'm a little surprised we haven't yet seen one banging on Eloise's door in the middle of the night begging to secretly use her toilet before they wet their bed. As much as their pride may forbid it, they now know that even they have their limits, and in the back of their minds it must be taunting them that they know there's an out in their very dorm, a safe haven within such easy reach, yet sealed to them by school regulations and their own pride. Probably the same reason none of them have let go of their burden while in the shower (though I must admit the concept of a gorgeous lady standing in the shower with a pregnancy-simulating bladder bulge complete with baby-kick muscle spasms is one of the hotter mental images I've had recently).

This may well be your best story yet. I eagerly await the next installment. And given the rate you've been cranking these out, it doesn't seem like we'll have to wait long.

Damn that was another amazing chapter

Chapter 6: A lapse of concentration.

“Come on!” Kay pleaded with Allie as they both desperately paced at the work counters in the kitchen.

“Im not being a model for your photoshoot.”

“Why not?”

“I don’t want too and….” Allie trailed off, her legs continuing to wiggle as she leaned against the row of cupboards. The rhythmic shuffling hypnotising to Eloise as she watched the pair of them dance their desperate dance, neither of them wanting to show how bad it had gotten. But it was easy to see, they had been struggling two days ago but now their antics had been dialled up to 11. Allie for her part unable to stand still for even a moment, the constant shuffling must have been burning her muscles but it was in order to save another assuredly tiring one.

“And what?” Kay asked, showing similar signs of her need as she sat on the couch. Her crossed legs bobbing up and down next to Eloise. The French girl keeping an eye on them too ni the corner of her vision, a sight she had become well versed in over the last few days.

“I, nothing… I just don’t feel like doing it.” Allie replied, her cheeks burning a little redder than before as she pushed off again and started dancing in front of the fridge, staring in even though Eloise could see she had already taken out the milk she was looking for.

“I’ll do your washing up for a week” Kay rebutted, trying to bribe their housemate.

“Really?” Allie asked, surprised by how badly Kay wanted her to be involved. “Why not go with Lucy, im sure she would love it.”

“That’s why, its more fun to have you.” Kay smiled, getting a glare from Allie. “But yeah I’ll wash and Eloise will dry for the rest of the week.” Kay offered up despite not having talked to her about it. But then again it was for the photography society that had both signed up for, which Eloise had completely forgotten about.

“Fine…but I’m not doing any stupid poses or anything like that.” Allie relented, breathing out heavily as she noticed the milk she had already gotten out. Her desperate mind failing to keep any coherent thought in for more than 2 minutes it seemed.

“Nothing like that, don’t worry.” Kay answered her, grunting loudly as she forced herself up from the couch. A hand on her back as she puffed her cheeks out as if she had been doing some heavy lifting.

“Where is everyone else by the way?” Zara asked, turning over to look at them from the couch where she sat. Her legs seemingly spread as far apart as possible, a triumphant posture for the winner of last night’s contest and the prize of an empty bladder.

If there had been a loser it had been Summer, walking out of the venue she hadn’t been lucky to escape the attention of others. Her sodden blue socks and hem of her skirt giving her away as many of the students pointed and made comments. Their poor friend staring ashamedly at the floor in silence the entire way home. They had done their best to comfort her but it was clear that she just as Lucy had, was feeling sorry for herself.

“I think some of them are feeling a little down because of, you know.” Kay said.

“You telling me, looks like we are about to have two more.” Vanessa announced as she strode in wearing her running gear. But despite the confident outburst it was clear that she too was suffering with her bladder.

“You’re telling me, but like you can say anything.” Allie shot back, managing a faint smile as a bead of sweat worked its way down from her brow and dripped off her nose.

“Hey, this bladder is fine. Im not the one using the edge of the counter to hold myself.” She said, a cheeky smile appearing as she indicated to Kay.

“Gross, that’s where I make my food.” Zara laughed heartily, clearly feigning her annoyance.

“I tell you what we need.” Vanessa said, gingerly joining Zara on the sofa. Letting out a not so quiet groan even with the slow speed of her movement.

“What? Zara asked.

“A night in with lots of alcohol so everyone can forget the last couple of days.” She said, her idea clearly at odds with her bladder unless she was insane, or so Eloise thought.

“That sounds like a plan.” Zara said excitedly. “Im up for some victory drinks.”

“Should we ask the others?” Eloise asked, although half the house was now in the room.

“Guys I…” Allie tried to speak but was interrupted by an excited Kay.

“No, we should tell the others” Kay said authoritatively, vanessa and Zara pointing at her and agreeing whole heartedly.

“Ok putting it in the group chat now, no question marks just facts.” Zara said, pulling out her phone and a few moments a series of dings went off in the kitchen.

 

 

“Where… are… we going Kay?” Allie asked, stopping for a moment to put a hand on her thigh as she all but panted with exertion.

“I want to go the campus.” Kay replied, her own breathing not too far behind.

“Are you ok?” Eloise asked, a question she was starting to think was the only thing she could ask given the amount of times she had uttered it lately. But what else was there?

“Oooh” Allie puffed her cheeks out again. “Man, I’ve never felt like this before. It feels like my insides are vibrating on their own.” Groaning she stood up straight, putting a thumb under the deadly tight jeans she was still forcing herself to wear despite how they all but cut her bladder in too. She had been wearing jogging bottoms for the last couple of days, but given that she was being photographed she had spent more than 10 minutes groaning as she buttoned them up. Eloise spying her lying in the foetal position on her bed through the crack in the door. She was truly suffering, the back of her light green top a shade darker from her burning body.

10 minutes later they had made it up to the spot where the almost equally bloated Kay was happy. A busy intersection of the university with students milling around them.

“Really…here?” Allie asked, putting a hand on her chest.

“Yes here” Kay added, starting to unfold a tripod from her bag while she paced on the spot. Her entire face glistening despite the cool day, her hastily applied makeup already smudging. But she wasn’t the one that was going to be in front of the camera so Eloise doubted she really cared. It was clear something else was on her mind as she moved feverously on the spot, her hands unscrewing the legs.

“Okay, Okay, Okay” Kay began muttering to herself, now stood behind the camera and visibly shaking. Her eyes glued to the small LCD screen on the back of the camera as she bobed up and down, walking on the spot. Her hand waving around all over the place as she focused down on the task at hand. Each heavy press of the button making the tripod shift slightly.

“Oh shit” Kay said quietly, her left hand falling between her legs and giving herself a reassuring squeeze for a moment.

“Ok, im good its set up.” She said, wiping her forehead with the back of her hoodie sleeve.

“So, you…youi just want me there?” Allie asked, her own legs moving her in small circles, the pair of them attracting a lot of strange glances from the passers by. The two struggling women walking in tiny circles as they battled their enormous bladders demands to finally give them some relief.

“Yep, just stand there for like two minutes”

“Two minutes!” Allie said out loud, Eloise unsure if she could manage 2 seconds let alone 120.

“Yeah”

“What photo takes two minutes?” Allie said, clearly still upset about this revelation.

“I want a time lapse; you know you stay still and everyone can move around behind you as a blur.” Kay said hastily as she uneasily waited to click the shutter button.

“Kay, I don’t know.” Allie said, her eyes pleading with Kay.

“You can do it, its just two minutes.” Kay smiled at her.

“I, ok but make it fast.” Allie said.

“I…ok?” Kay replied, confused by the statement. Two minutes was two minutes, not much she could do about that.

“Ok, you can do this” Allie said, pumping herself up as she pressed firmly between her clenched thighs.

“Ready?” Kay asked.

“As I will ever be” Allie replied, her hands finally leaving her crotch as she took up a somewhat normal pose. Her hands grabbing the student brochure that Kay had hastily given to her as a prop.

“Ok, now stay as still as possible” Kay said, herself moving non-stop. A loud click indicating that the photo had begun, just 120 seconds.

“I…..” Allie stuttered almost immediately.

“You can do it!” Kay shouted in support.

“I….” Allie stuttered again, her eyes glancing down at her own crotch for a moment.

“You are doing great, just a little longer.”

“I…im sorry Kay but I think I’m about to make your photo a little more interesting than you meant it to be.” Allie shuddered, her head turning to look between her legs as the light grey of her jeans suddenly darkened. An explosion of wetness showering out of her clenched thighs, short but fierce bursts of piss showering out of them and darkening patches of her jeans. Strange patterns appearing all over her legs as the spurting continued, a thudding sound could be heard as the rest of her pee poured out behind her legs.

Groaning she convulsed lightly, new streaks of wetness flowing from her crotch and down the front of her unmoving legs, a shower of wetness that was cascading and running down her legs. The wet patches shining anew as her accident continued to unfold in front of Eloise. The many rivulets spiralling down her legs and leaving trails in Allies clothing. Dripping into the muddy pool that she was making beneath her that was shinning brightly in the mid-day sun as it hung over her, accidently providing the perfect lighting for the ongoing photo of her accident.

At almost the exact same moment a loud shutter noise signalled the end of the time-lapse, and Allie finished wetting herself. Stood routed to the spot she exhaled deeply “Fuck I needed that.” She laughed, her shoulders sagging forwards. The giant orb that was her bladder completely gone and her drenched jeans now fitting properly.

“Well I hope you got what you needed because im not giving a repeat performance” She continued looking up at Kay who was now also routed to the spot. Her face bright red and both hands pulling up at her crotch for all she was worth.

“I…..oooh.” Kay muttered, herself looking only moments from a similar fate as Allie.

But breathing heavily she managed to pull herself together, “Sorry, I didn’t”…. she trailed off.

“Yeah don’t worry. I thought I could hold it too.” Allie said clearly disappointed, but taking it far better than Lucy or Summer had.

“Now can we get out of here, its actually quite cold in these wet jeans now I’m not sweating my balls off in desperation.” She said rather bluntly, the desperate kay just nodding and starting to pack away her things.

“You better not show that to anyone” Allie said as they made their way down the hill again.

Eloise had totally forgotten about the photo and now Allie had said that, she couldn’t help but wonder what it looked like. A two-minute time lapse of Allie peeing herself, what would that look like she wondered. Maybe she would have to find a way to get it, or try it herself… what was she thinking. Shaking her head and being repulsed by the weird idea that she would try it at home, what was happening to her thoughts? Where were all these new thoughts coming from, it had to just be because she was surrounded by desperate women that they were coming to her. Hopefully once this was over they would leave her be, although she couldn’t quite shake the feeling that this had always been something she enjoyed. Memories of holding it slightly longer than needed under the guise of studying as her bladder throbbed at the kitchen table. The odd road trip where she would see how long or how far she could go without needing to stop, even asking friends and family members to do the same. Had she always liked this…No it was just this week…it had to be.

 

 

“Eloise?” Kay said, brining her out of her confused stupor. The pair of them now sat in the kitchen, Kay on the phone with Summer who was at the shop.

“Yeah sorry?”

“What drinks do you want?”

“Oh, do they have any brandy?”

“Brandy?” Kay lowered an eyebrow at her before nodding and passing on the order. The dark brunette now sitting in the back of the kitchen, her legs tightly crossed and bobbing up and down wildly. She had been there ever since she had barely survived the walk back, the new sitting position clearly helping her maintain her control a little easier.

“What bout snacks?” Kay asked, her hand over the phone.

“Don’t mind, crisps, maybe pretzels if they have any?” Eloise replied.

“Pretzels and Brandy, not quite the night in of drinking I was expecting” Kay joked before a violent shake in her body forced her to frown deeply, a hand steadying herself on her thigh as she leaned forwards a little more. A deep sweat all over her body despite the fact she was barely moving.  Taking a deep breath she put the phone back to her ear and passed on the new order to the group of them at the store.

“Oh god!” Kay groaned loudly after putting the phone down. Both her hands falling between her clenching and knotted legs, “I don’t know how much longer I can hold this.”

“What?” Eloise said shocked by her friends openness, her eyes awkwardly meeting hers as she felt her stomach flutter slightly at Kays admission.

“I don’t know the last time I held this long. Even the end of year test wasn’t this bad.” Kay said looking her in the eyes, causing Eloise to blush and look away.

“Umm, I mean….you have lasted this long. Its way more than I could manage. Like 10 times as long!” Eloise blurted out, aiming for supportive but ending up a little past that.

“Yeah, I suppose” Kay said, finally looking down and placing a hand on her heavily distended bladder. The giant protrusion locked tightly shut for over a week now, yet both of them seemed to sense the end was near. But who knew when the classes were to start again, they knew she couldn’t give up. If her or Vanessa did and it turned out the buildings opened the next morning they would be kicking themselves for the rest of the year. They just had to hold out.

 

A short while later the others arrived noisily through the front door, bottles clinking in the bags they had brought with them. Unpacking them the kitchen counter was covered in all sort of alcohol, bottles and cans of beer covering most it while large vodka bottles towered above the other bottles.

Admiring their handywork Kay let out a loud sigh, grunting as she reached across for the first bottle. “Its six o’clock somewhere.” She smiled, cracking open the first bottle using the edge of the counter instead of a bottle opener. The others shrugging and joining her with a beer of their own while Eloise checked her watch. It was already 7.15Pm, why did it matter that it was 6pm somewhere else.

“I will order the Pizza, same as last week?” Zara offered, opening her laptop.

“Sounds good!” Kay said, raising her bottle. The others joining in a little impromptu toast, taking a sip from their own bottles. Well except Summer who seemed to be in the mood to get things started, downing her entire beer in one go and sighing deeply.

“Some ones in the mood to party” Lucy joked.

“Oh, sorry.” Summer said kind of sheepishly, her face blushing as she realised everyone was watching her.

“No, don’t apologise just let me catch up!” Lucy said enthusiastically as she downed the rest of hers.

“Well…if everyone else is.” Kay said, lifting her own bottle to her lips and starting to down it. A hand resting on her bladder as she scrunched up her face, forcing the beer down her throat.

“Come on guys, keep up.” She smiled, her body wobbling slightly as she sat there. Vanessa, Julia and Zara sharing a look before joining in.

“Well, im on Vodka so I will not be downing that.” Allie joked, unscrewing the top off the first bottle and pouring a little in a cup before downing the shots worth as a show of solidarity.

“Your turn” Kay said loudly, uncapping the next bottle and pointing at Eloise with it.

Taking a leaf from Allies book she unscrewed the brandy, pouring a fingers worth into a glass. Taking a deep breath she tipped the glass back feeling the familiar burn but then a weird acidic feeling taking over.

“Urrgh, what is that?”

“Its brandy, what you asked for.”

“That is the worst brandy I have ever had, what is this.” She said inspecting the bottle. “What on earth is a  brandy drink?” she asked out loud, never having seen the words together but sure they were not a sign of quality.

“Cheap, you’re a student now remember.” Zara joked.

“True, but I will not be doing any more shots of that.” Eloise said, mixing it with some soda that had been bought as mixer.

“Ok, lets get this party started!” Zara said enthusiastically, pulling out a box of cards.

“Not this again, I remember you forcing me to play that like two years ago.” Julia said out loud.

“Well, it’s a good way of getting to know each other, and then drinking enough to forget it all again.” Zara smiled.

“Well, sounds fun.” Summer joined in, “what is it though?”

“Its called first, like spin the bottle. It has a little dial thing you spin like this” she said spinning it, it landing on Vanessa. “Then Vanessa grabs one of the cards which will have a promt on it and you have to answer what your first experience of it was.”

“Like never have I ever.” Kay said.

“Never have I ever?” Eloise asked, understanding the game but getting lost with the annology.

“Its like a game where….” Allie started.

“Look forget that, lets just play this.” Zara interrupted, before things could get too confusing. “Now grab a drink and Vanessa grab a card.”

Groaning deeply as she tried to stand to move to the box the others watched her for a moment before she seemingly gave up. “Just slide one over will you?”

Sliding over a card Vanessa picked it up “It just says broken bone.” She said turning it around.

“Yeah so you can either take a drink, or tell us what your first broken bone was. Bit of a tame one to start with but they get way more…interesting.”

“Oh ok, I was Nine and I fell off a Donkey” Vanessa said putting the card down.

“A donkey, not a horse?” Julia asked, raising an eyebrow.

“Yeah my neighbour had one and I tried to ride it and well, it didn’t want to be.”

“Not the only thing you have tried to ride and it not wanting to be.” Lucy chimed in.

“What does that even mean?” Vanessa said blushing.

“Oh I don’t know, what about Luke in first year.” Lucy said, her smile only widening as Vanessa clearly understood what she was referring too.

“You can shut up now!” Vanessa shot back, eyeing her friend.

“Rejected!” Lucy said loudly.

“Well that wasn’t even a question but how about you have a go then, lets see what secrets we can unearth on you.” Vanessa countered, pointing to the box of cards.

“Fine, we don’t need a spinner, lets just go around.” Lucy said, taking out a card before sitting back on her chair. An embarrassed smile coming across her face as she turned around a card that simply read “sex”.

“Whheeyyy” Vanessa said slightly too enthusiastically as her eyes widened again, her hand flying between her legs. The conversation momentarily distracting her and she had almost paid the price, going off the look of panic creeping across her face.

“Do try not to wet yourself” Lucy joking shot back but they could all tell she had been moments away from doing just that. Crossing one leg over the other even tighter Vanessa shifted in her seat uncomfortably.

“Come on then.” Zara said, indicating for Lucy to explain herself.

“Well, I was 14”

“14!” Julia and Allie said loudly at the same time.

“What, loads of people were doing it at that age in my school.” Lucy tried to defend herself.

“Many of your friends been on that teenage parents tv show?” Zara joked.

“Well actually…. yes. As in not friends but people from my school.”

“Oh my god I was joking, but that is amazing.” Zara said. The group laughing and opening the next round of beers.

Over the next few hours the group went through almost all of the questions and almost all of the beer. It was safe to say that Eloise now knew more about her housemates than she had most other people in her life, and unfortunately they knew far more embarrassing things about her than she had ever told anyone else. She just couldn’t seem to help it, her housemates were just too good at prying things out of her, although she had to admit it felt good to find a group of friends she could trust not to hopefully do anything with the information.

Although just looking at them, it seemed Zara may have been right about them being too drunk to remember any of it. The girls in particular Summer and Lucy had been pounding back the beers, taking almost an entire crate by themselves at this point.

Although what had surprised her more was the quantity that Kay and Vanessa were drinking despite their bulging bladders. Kay in particular seemed to be throwing caution to the wind, almost keeping up with Summer and egging people on to drink more and more. Calling out people who didn’t have a drink in their hands from her seat, making Lucy and Zara hand them another.

“Hey Allie, can you pass me the soda please.” Eloise asked, pouring herself another and unwittingly noticing that almost half the bottle of brandy was gone. At least it wasn’t as strong as what she was use to in France.

“Sure thing Eloise.” Allie said smiling.

“Look at you too, thick as thieves over there with your fancy drinks.” An intoxicated Kay said in a mockingly playful way.

“What we are just being friendly, sheesh.” Allie joked back, handing over the soda.

“Oooh, Drink friends.” Lucy joked, a chorus of it going around the others leaving Eloise perplexed. A clear look of confusion on her face.

“Please tell me you have seen inbetweeners?” Zara asked, sitting up in her seat for the first time in a while.

“Inbetweeners?” Eloise asked.

“Sorry, im on their side.” Allie said smiling.

“Quint…quintisssss…..quintessential British comedy show that you have to see.” Summer said, slurring her words slightly.

“Oooh someone stop her drinks.” Lucy joked.

“Im fine, just a hard word when you are drunk. Not that I am!” Summer said, pointing an unsteady finger somewhere in the vicinity of Lucy.

“Looks like that wont be much of an issue anyway.” Julia said, upturning the last crate of beers. “Looks like we are out.”

“We are out of snacks too” Allie said, her hand grasping a number of empty crisp packets that lay on the kitchen worktop.

“Well this wont stand!” Summer said, standing quickly and teetering as the blood rushed out of it.

“That’s not the only thing.” Julia said, standing and helping Summer back into her seat.

“Ok, booze run, get your orders in now.” Lucy said, downing the rest of her bottle and getting to her feet.

“Ill come with you, I think I need the air” Allie said.

“Yeah, im coming too, need more snacks!” Vanessa and Zara joined in.

Taking their orders the group grabbed some flat shoes and their coats, making a slow amble towards the front door. Clunking behind them it left a slightly awkward silence with just the four of them sitting in the lounge that looked like a bomb had gone off in it.

Summer broke the silence by starting to giggle to herself for some reason.

“What’s so funny?” Julia asked

“I don’t know.” Summer said standing up and tipping remnants of one of her bottles into her waiting mouth.

“Oh no!” Summer said loudly, wobbling where she stood a hand flying to her stomach.

“What, are you?” Eloise asked, the blonde going deathly pale in an instant.

“I…I…Im going to be sick” She said, her eyes wide and the other hand shooting to her mouth. Turning she quickly ran towards the stairs, taking them too at a time and crashing into the shower rooms above them.

“I better go check on her.” Julia said after a few seconds, grabbing a cup of water and taking it up to Summer. Leaving just Eloise and the groaning Kay in the room.

From where she was sat Eloise was watching her attentively, the brunette tomboy rocking on the chair she hadn’t left for hours now. A hand deep in the pockets of her jogging bottoms and clearly holding herself as she let out short sharp breaths. Drawing in air through her nose and letting it out of her mouth, she looked almost as if she was mediating in some ways.

A few minutes passed as Eloise kept waiting for Julia to come back, unsure of what to say to Kay but unable to take her eyes off her and her giant bladder. Kay had been quiet for the last few hours, actively taking part in the game until her bladder seemingly made that impossible. The other trying to include her but only getting single word answers or her choosing to drink as a response. She was on the very edges of control, and the few braincells the beer had left her with were otherwise occupied.

“Oooh, no, no , no , no ,no” Kay muttered to herself as she rocked on the kitchen chair, the first thing she had said for almost 45 minutes.  Her eyes were fixed on a point in front of her as she struggled for control. The night of heavy drinking making her quiver in desperation. Now with just her and Eloise in the room her heavy breathing, pants and groans were too loud for the French girl block out.

“OOOoffff” Kay groaned again as she pivoted her hips to apply more pressure on her hand that was gripping herself between her legs. The other joining it on the outside of her trousers, her short nails digging into the fabric of her trousers as she squeezed her legs tightly.

“I can…” Kay said breathlessly to no one.

“Just a little longer and….” Her brain tried again, unable to finish its sentences as her bloated and bulging bladder quivered inside her. Sweat was pouring off her brow now, her neck muscles twitching and taught as she grunted much louder this time.

“Ooofff fuck” she groaned hoarsely, her head tilting back and eyes scrunching closed. Eloise watched on, unable to look away as her own legs pressed against each other, her heart beating faster as she felt her body becoming hot. She was sure Kay was reaching her limits, limits she had seen her pass 12 hours ago when they were outside with Allie. The memories of Allies slow laboured accident unfolding in her mind, this time joined with Kay.

“No, no, no, no….”The woman in front of her panted, her body constantly shaking now.

“ooooOOOHHHFFF” Kay groaned again but this was the final moment as she finally lost control, her jogging bottoms darkening as a flood of pee hissed out of her. Overflowing the chair in an instant it created a noisy waterfall off onto the kitchen floor of it as Kay continued to breath heavily. Her hips starting to gyrate against the chair as she panted, almost thrusting forward causing wave after wave of her hot pee to fall from the chair, heavily splattering against the floor. The enormous bulge in her abdomen barely even shirking as the litres of pee burst out of her, she had pushed it hours longer than she had before. Pushing her limits to new hights as she had not only forced it to wait but ruthlessly filled it over the last few hours.

Continuing for almost 20 seconds Kay’s eyes were closed, her hips moving as she panted, only Eloise witnessing the display that was making her a little light headed. She had been denying what she had been feeling as she watched her friends get more and more desperate, but this intimate almost voyeuristic view of Kay wetting herself was too much. Her heart fluttered violently as her breath caught in her chest, eyes glued to the glistening crotch of her friend that continued press itself into the chair. The ocean of pee within Kay now flowing freely through the darkened and saturated cotton. It felt as if it was almost like her sexual awakening, a lightbulb turning on in her mind, she was into this and she could deny it no longer as she let out a quiet whimper.

Kay finally opened her eyes. The two of them accidently locking eyes and blushing madly, both caught out enjoying what was going on.

“Im sorry…” Eloise stuttered madly averting her gaze and staring at the floor, but even out of the corner of her vision she could see Kay’s puddle slowly advancing across the floor towards her.

“Oh god” Kay said again, her voice several octaves lower than normal. The loud splashing telling Eloise her hips were still moving. “I forgot how good this felt.” Kay announced, with no sense of embarrassment.

“I….uh” Eloise looked up, finding that Kay was still watching her.

“I thought so” Kay started, smiling broadly before her eyes rolled back in her head for a moment.

“don’t worry, you would be surprised…Surprised by how many people…Pee, people are into this, especially at this place…Just don’t get any ideas” Kay smiled for a moment before her body doubled over and caused her to visibly wince. Her overfilled bladder clearly still sending painful signals through her body even as it relaxed.

“I…really?” Eloise replied sheepishly. She hadn’t even considered it to be a thing someone could be into, but she couldn’t deny her own feelings on the matter.

Holding up two fingers as if to tell her to wait a minute Kay put her hand on her thigh. Leaning forwards she closed her eyes, the river of urine still flowing out of her and onto the floor beneath the thankfully wooden chair. She looked lost in her own world once again, the only sounds the hiss through her sodden underwear and the drumming of the streams onto the floor. For more than two minutes Eloise stood there, unsure of what to do but enjoying the sight of the red faced kay wetting herself.

Finally she finished, letting out a long sigh Kay shivered violently in her seat for a few moments. Opening her eyes she locked them with the awkward looking Eloise.

“Lets just not tell anyone about this though” She said breathlessly.

“Wont they notice the…”

“No, about the…enjoying it” Kay smiled, her face relaxed for the first time in days.

“But I thought you said…”

“Look a lot of people enjoy it, but its not really a talked about thing. Given the emphasis on holding at this university, enjoying losing control is probably as taboo as you can get around her.”

“Oh ok” Eloise said.

“But don’t get me wrong, I think a lot of people still enjoy it. But just don’t go around talking about it, and you can never know who does and doesn’t like it. Some people can be freaked out about it, I’m sure even yourself last week would have been if I had just squatted in the middle of the kitchen.”

“I…Yeah, thank you.” Eloise replied, still not quite able to look her friend in the eye after the intimate moment.

“No problem, but if I can stand, we should probably clean this mess up before it ruins the floor” Kay said smiling and looking down at the giant puddle she had created fondly.

Slightly shorter chapter and maybe a bit of a different tone but I hope you all enjoyed it!

Thank you for the continued support and comments!

Another amazing chapter can’t wait to read what will happen next 

[watchinghold 65]

Check me on this, but at this point I think it's only Vanessa who hasn't lost control? And she's still drinking as freely as the rest of them? While showing little sign of her control being in serious imminent danger?

Oooh boy. Either she is an amazing actress, or she is building up to an eruption of truly legendary proportions. I am so freaking hype for the next chapter.

Yes, she has outheld all the others. But how much longer can she keep control?

The next part will be out tomorrow!

@Markj9494 I really love this story (just like all of your other stories too!), but I can't resist to peek and ask something what's on my mind for some time. Is this story going to be over after Vanessa pees herself, or is it set for a big sequel?

I'm feeling that most of your other stories feel like a complete work, and even if one of them will have a sequel, it will be completely different story, just with same characters or places, but this story has so many mysteries and hints that it just screams to me about further development. Like Eloise starting to feel the taste of holding fun not just from professional side. Or Eloise seeing dreams and unusual thoughts about omorashi (is it relevant to her "magic" watch she has to wear?). Mysterious university executives with their experiment. Kay dropping a bomb on Eloise that quite a lot of girls here enjoy holding/wetting but wetting is a real taboo topic.

Am I right that this novel is far from the end, and there's a sequel already planned where all these mysteries will start to unwrap like Easter Eggs, while Eloise's adventures will go further?

Chapter 7: Fit to burst.  

A loud ring filled the office, the telephone only connecting to one other just like it. The woman’s hand waivered over it for a moment, she knew who this was.

“Hello sir” She answered.

“Hello, I assume you know why I am phoning.”

“Is it about my tests sir”

“Yes... I might have given you free reign over that school to run as you see fit, but you can not just cancel classes to fulfil your own experiments.”

“I understand sir, but if I may, you asked me to bring this establishment back to its former glory.”

“I did and I understand why you are performing these tests. But it is my and the boards wish that you do not compromise on the academic side. We are an educational establishment after all.”

“Yes sir I understand.”

“Good, so classes will resume?”

“Yes sir, I will arrange for them to start again.”

“Good” He finished before quickly hanging up.

Placing her phone back on the receiver she slammed her fist into the table in frustration. A knock on the door making her look up as her assistant walked into the room.

“What is it!”

“Mam, we have her.”

“The last one? I thought there were 3 left?”

“That was true yesterday morning, since then two more have finished the trial. Both record lengths and volumes for them and any other students.”

“Good, what about the Iron house holder who lost it early. With the new data where does she finish.”

“Despite losing it early, she was in the top 5 for volume” The woman said sliding across a portfolio to the desk.

“Interesting” picking up the portfolio the woman in the high back chair began browsing it. “Do you think she could hold more if given more time to acclimatise to her hold?”

“I do mam, in fact I think the signs are she could be one of the top 3 students.”

“Interesting” she said again.

“Do you want me to keep monitoring them throughout the year?”

“Yes, I think we should keep a close eye on them. They are some of the best I have ever seen.”

“What about the remaining participant?”

“I’ll handle her personally.”

Standing in the kitchen the following morning Eloise found herself alone despite not getting up particularly early. The silent house barely creaking as if the structure itself was aware of the fragile heads its occupants must have. After returning with more beer the drinking had seemingly intensified, with a few drunken comments being made about Kays accident. Most of it had been cleared up by the two of them by the time they had walked through the door. But the mop and bucket, kays flat stomach and her completely drenched clothes cluing in the others instantly. Her wet clothes joining Allies and summers in a pile next to the washing machine. The previous load Julia had put in with her own pee stained clothes still going around, the chain of accidents her household had suffered backing up the machine loads. The best holders in the university succumbing to the most basic of needs slowly but surely. Now there was just one, Vanessa was the final one of them maintaining dominion on her bladder. But judging by her frantic display last night Eloise wasn’t sure how much longer even the iron bladdered athlete could manage. 

But to her surprise it was Vanessa that woke first, and even more surprising was what she was wearing. Walking into the kitchen it was Vanessas bloated bladder that came into vision first, the hulking mass passing through the doorframe before any other part of her housemate. Its quivering form now ruthlessly confined within an extremely tight pair of leggings, the elasticated material going white in some areas as the pink pigment was being pulled apart. A similar tank top barely fit over the top of her bladder, somehow pushing up her breasts even further as the already supportive material was pushed further up by her expanded abdomen.

“Morn…Morning” Vanessa groaned, outstretching her hand to the tap and steadying herself for a moment before filling up her water bottle.

“Mu, Morning” Eloise stuttered, watching Vanessas legs jiggle beneath her as the rush of the water came from the tap. Her face flustered and already sweating profusely, her skin shinny and pale.

“Are you going for a run?” Eloise asked incredulously.

“Yep” Vanessa added, grimacing as she wrenched the tap closed. Hoping that she could just do the same with her own bladder.

Eloise could feel her throat going dry, how could she possibly survive her run. She looked and sounded about ready to explode, although she had sounded that for over two days. Perhaps her bladder was limitless?

“You got plans?”

“Oh, I still need to take some photos for the society.” Eloise replied. She had been meaning to head out early this morning to get some silhouettes in the morning sunrise. But lasts night party and the now empty bottle of brandy had seen that idea off.

“You should go up on Lindon’s Hill, just behind the shopping area. Get some good views up there.” Vanessa suggested.

“Sure, thanks!” Eloise said. “You heading out now?”

“Yes.”

“Cool, well I guess I will join you. At least for the first 100 meters.” Eloise said grabbing her bag that she had under the table.

“I…ok” Vanessa said slightly nervously.

Leaving the house they quicky said their goodbyes as Vanessa put in her earphones and began to slowly and laboured jog up the road. Each footfall causing her to groan loudly and make Eloise wonder why she was torturing herself like this. The enormity of the task at hand, each footfall shaking her bladder visibly. She could barely think of what horrible pains and pulses were racing around Vanessa now.

Unable to look away she watched the pregnant looking woman awkwardly jog up the hill, huffing and puffing as she went. The ordinarily athletic and sprightly woman taking her time and moving at a similar pace to Eloise who watched on with interest. Almost walking into the road to maximise her time viewing her desperate friend.

Walking to the hill Vanessa had suggested she tried to shake the thoughts and visions of Vanessa losing control in her running gear from her mind. But it seemed that no matter how hard she tried, the last few days had completely destroyed her ability to concentrate on anything else. Even as she snapped shot after shot around the campus, she found herself trying to find a way of intercepting Vanessa to spend more time together. Her friends run usually taking about an hour and going past the coffee shop on her way home. Would she stop for one even in her current condition, if she did she wanted to be there.

Reaching the courtyard, she began to photograph the goings on of university life while keeping an eye open for her friend. After an hour and 20 minutes she was starting to give up hope, the desperate woman clearly too smart and full to add a coffee to the litres of consumed liquid. But then, just as she was giving up home a slow-moving Vanessa rounded the corner of one of the buildings. Her hand resting on her giant bladder as she walked towards her.

Giving a friendly wave she got a half-hearted one from Vanessa who really seemed to be suffering now. The run clearly not a good idea, although she had thought that before the heavily ladened woman took off.

“Hey, I’m just about done. Want a coffee?” Eloise offered.

“ooh, I…” Vanessa panted, her bladder heaving where she stood.

“I’m buying don’t worry. I owe you after that tip about the hill, it really is lovely up there.”

“I…sure” the darkhaired woman smiled, her lips quivering slightly as she accepted the offer of a coffee despite knowing all too well it was a bad idea.

Trying to contain her own excitement Eloise opened the door following Vanessa in. Walking in she was for some reason expecting to see Summer behind the counter, despite the fact she knew that she wasn’t working today.

“What do you fancy?”

“I’ll just have an Americano”

“Sure thing.” Eloise said cheerily as she walked up to order. “Hi can I have two Americano’s please”. She wasn’t a coffee drinker but she could feel the tiredness for last night still taking its toll so maybe this would help.

“Sure thing, are they to go?” The yong woman behind the counter asked.

“Yes please.”

“What size do you want, we have an offer on at the moment where a Venti is the same price as the tall.”

Eloise knew she should say no, she knew it was the right thing to do. But at the same time there it was, the voice in the back of her head telling her to do it. After all Vanessa could choose not to drink it all if she wanted, all she was doing was buying her friend a gift. How much of that gift she used was up to her.

“Sure thing, can I get an extra shot in each in that case.” Eloise said, the voice winning out.

Walking back over a few moments later she could already see the trepidation on Vanessas face as she saw the size of her coffee.

“We were lucky, they had a promotion on.” Eloise said handing her the coffee.

“Um…thanks” Vanessa smiled weakly as she sipped her coffee to show her appreciation.

The walk back to the house was pretty slow, now with one hand holding her coffee Vanessa was forced to move more slowly, her laboured steps more awkward and conscious decisions. The movement that comes unconsciously to everyone past the ages of about 2 now like solving a riddle for her. Each step separating her legs and momentarily opening her defences, her muscles straining for control as she ordered them to perform the same movement over and over again as they walked slowly along.

Approaching their house they could see two figures slowly walking towards them. It seemed like Zara and Summer had finally woken up.

“Hey guys, we are heading out for some lunch. You two should totally join us!” Summer said enthusiastically, apparently fine despite the nights drinking. She had polished off far more bottles than Zara but it was the slim gymnast that looked to be the worse off for it. Her slightly bedraggled hair and dark rings under her eyes typical of a hangover.

“Yeah sure that would be nice. Im sure you have worked up an appetite after your run.” Eloise said, taking charge of the situation and trying to give her a reason to spend more time with her again.

“I….” Vanessa started.

“Where are you going?” Eloise asked

“Just to the dog and bone for some greasy food to fight this hangover.” Zara said groggily.

“Sure sounds good.” Eloise answered and soon the group were moving off together, vanessa just a pace behind them as she did her best to follow at the same pace.

 

“No outside drinks sorry.” The man behind the counter said as they walked in. Elloise and Vanessa still holding their coffee cups.

“Sorry” Eloise said, finishing off hers and holding out a hand for Vanessas. Expecting her to hand it over so they could put them in the bin. But it seemed Vanessa still had some reserves of confidence as she drained the last few mouthfuls and then handed Eloise an empty cup.

Chucking them in the nearby bin the found themselves a large table, Vanessa groaning loudly as she sat. A number of the other patrons looking at her as she did so, her restrictive running clothes now cutting even deeper into her flesh and applying more pressure as she bent over in her seat. The absolutely massive bulge pressing into the table from the unmoving benches present in the booth they had chosen. Her bladder now so large the ordinarily thin woman barely fit into the pubs seating.

“I’ll order if everyone knows what they want?”

“Cooked breakfast, large.” Zara said, gently resting the cold glass vinegar bottle against her temple.

“Same” Eloise added, she wasn’t too hungry but she had always loved it when her dad had made them back home.

“Sounds good” Vanessa said breathlessly, her nostrils flaring as she breathed heavily even when sat down.

“That makes it easier, any drinks?” Summer asked, standing up and taking a note of the table number. Eloise shook her head, the tea it came with more than enough for her, while the others opted for a large orange juice each.

Remarkably quickly the table was covered in the three meat and one vegan breakfasts. The large plates surrounded by four large pots of tea and 3 orange juices. Vanessas face a picture of concern as the tea was unloaded, apparently, she had forgotten about them when she had placed the order for another drink and was regretting it.

Due to the night of drinking it seemed Summer and Zara really had just come out to eat. Neither of them wasting a second before digging into their mountains of food. Conversation put on hold as everyone ate at surprising speed. Except for Vanessa who had started out using both hands but had to quickly abandon that plan. Instead her left hand was pressing deeply into her crotch while she used her fork in her right. Turning it on its side to cut through her food instead of using the knife and releasing her grip on her crotch. Soft moans constantly escaping her mouth as she sat there, writhing with desperation. The pot of hot tea and pint of orange juice looking like they were going down as nails. The liquid flowing into her already at capacity body with a grimace and flinch with each mouthful. 

 Soon the plates were empty once again, the remnants of beans and tomato sauce mopped up with the slices of toast as they all sat back satisfied. It seemed that even for a moment Vanessa had forgotten her need slightly, leaning back but yelping as she accidently pushed her bladder upwards and into one of the sharp edges of the table struts. Both hands instantly flying between her legs as new external pain joined in with the bolts of it shooting through her insides.

Knowing looks passed between the others as they all knew what she was feeling, many of them having gone through the same thing this week. Although none had lasted this long or looked anywhere as full, only Lucy had such a round bulge as Vanessa was sporting right now.

“I think I need a lie down” Vanessa stuttered, the joke coming out as more of a plea for help. But the others could agree with her, the food sitting heavily in their stomachs and making even summer feel lethargic. But draining the last from their teapots the group made a move, Eloise quickly learning that she didn’t need to tip here unlike some of the other countries she had lived in.

 

“Ughh, I think I will join you in that lie down.” Zara said, stretching as she kicked off her shoes arriving back at home.

“What are you on about, we should probably leave soon.” Kay said, her head poking out of her room.

“For what?” Eloise asked.

“Don’t tell me you all forgot, it’s the back to the future marathon at the cinema.” Kay said, her arms folding across her chest.

“Im sorry, im not sure im feeling up to it” Vanessa said, her lips pursing and swallowing hard.

“No, no one is backing out, ive already got you all tickets since you all agreed!” She said, seemingly standing taller to be more authoritative.

“But I…” Vanessa

“Ah, ah, ah. Get your shoes, the rest of us are ready.”

Feeling her bladder already filling after the mornings drinks Eloise knew she should use her toilet now. But with the rest of them standing outside her room in the coridoor she felt uncomfortably awkward in doing so. But even as she tried to put it to the back of her mind she couldn’t manage it.

“I’ll be right back, need to put my stuff away.” She said, her cheeks blushing a little.

Walking into her room she closed the door behind her, still worried they would be able to hear it. Looking around she grabbed the duvet off her bed and put it near the gap under the door, her paranoid mind taking over and hoping it would block some of the sound for some reason. Closing the second bathroom door behind her she was about to sit when she realised they might hear the stream hitting the water. Shivering slightly as her bare skin made contact with the cold toilet she positioned herself at and angle and did her best to release her stream in a controlled, slow and quiet manner. Her muscles burning slightly as she forced them to remain partially closed. But after a few seconds the seemed to get the idea and a surprisingly long stream left her for almost a minute, making her doubly glad she had decided to go now.

“Alright guys, im ready to go” Eloise said happily, feeling much more relaxed and happy to see none of them seemed to have noticed anything.

 

The line for the small theatre was massive, the weekends showings completely sold out to the students who had nothing better to do since classes were cancelled. Standing in line Eloise couldn’t keep her eyes of Vanessa as she visibly pulsed where she stood. Her upper torso dancing to unheard music as she crossed, uncrossed and crossed her legs again and again. 30 minutes later they had made it into the building, the group making small talk while they waited. But all eyes including Eloise’s and several of the bystanders were watching the obviously desperate woman in their group.

“You get the tickets ill get the snacks”, Eloise offered, conscious of the time they had to get into the theatre before the film started. 

“Ill join you and help carry them.” Kay said with Allie following as well.

“Everyone ok with coke?” Eloise asked as she turned towards the confectionary counters and getting nods of approval, she headed in.

“How can I help?” The teenage girl behind the counter asked, looking already exhausted after the mid-day rush.

“Yeah sure can I get 8…” Eloise said before realising that she hadn’t actually thought of what to get. Looking up she quickly browsed the stall, her eyes lighting up when she spotted the back to the future deal.

“8 Back to the future combo’s” she finished, the woman totalling it up the bill and handing over the novelty Doc Brown collectable glasses. Next came the 8 large popcorn’s and then finally the 8 giant cups, each holding well over a liquid at 32 oz.

“Don’t you think those are a little big?” Allie pointed out.

“I mean its three films that’s like 6 hours right?” Eloise explained as she grabbed a couple of each of the combos, her arms full.

“Good point, probably save us in the long run!” Allie and Kay agreed enthusiastically, grabbing the rest and carrying them back to the group.

“These should see us through” Allie said half jokingly as she lumped the supplies into each of the others hands.

“And here is yours” kay said as she pressed the extra-large drink into Vanessa’s hands, the colour seeming to fall out of her face as she accepted it. Her brain wavering and telling her to say something, but her mouth opened with no words escaping it. Her other hand that was between her legs forced to leave the warm recesses of her quivering crotch and grab the popcorn.

Handing over their tickets the group sided into their row of seats, Vanessa grunting with each sideways step that caused her legs to separate more than they had in days. Taking her seat she let out a longer moan, her giant bladder troubling her greatly as it overflowed her body and now spilled onto her lap. The slightly angled seats amplifying her stature as they forced her to lean forwards slightly.

Settling into their seats they had arrived just in time, the lights dimming and the first advert starting. It had been a while since Eloise had seen a movie in a theatre and she found herself far more excited than she had thought she would. Unable to stop smiling as the Universal pictures’ logo appeared, sipping from her drink she sat back and was ready to enjoy the film.

97 minutes later the lights came back up, the first film just as good as they had all remembered. There had been some films that watching them back hadn’t lived up to her childhood memories but this was not one of them. Grabbing the large drink she sipped from the straw, realising that as she only got air she had somehow finished it all. Although given the fact the large cups didn’t fit in the holders and she had been forced to hold it the entire film it was no surprise. But what was a surprise was that it appeared Vanessa and all of the others had too. The lights showing through the thin carboard and revealing a tiny amount left in each of the cups. The volume of liquid already filling her bladder quickly, she could only imagine the impact it must have been having on the still holding Vanessa given she was clearly already at her limit.

“Oh man, I love that film!” Kay said excitedly, her love of movies really coming through as she seemed to be in her element.  “But I think I might need a refill” she added, shaking her cup.

“How have you eaten all the popcorn?” Summer joked, the sticky container resting on the ground now there was nothing in it to risk being kicked over.

“What, I was hungry” Kay defended herself. “But it has made me really thirsty.” She said standing.

Eloise knew this was her moment, the angel and devil in her minds battling over it once again as she contemplated getting Vanessa another of the large drinks. She was enthralled, fascinated by the sheer force of will and holding capabilities of her housemate. How could one personal hold so much, would she be able to hold anything close to her by the end of her time at university, how much more could Vanessa take? A million questions raced around her mind once again, but this time she could feel the devil winning as she strived to find an answer. Just as it had forced her hand and not told Lucy about her drink being dosed, the familiar feeling came over her, almost giddy with excitement.

“They are free refills for the whole day. Why don’t we go and get everyone a refill before the next film starts in 10 minutes.” Eloise said, standing slightly to quickly.

Grabbing the now empty cups from her friends she could see the reluctance in the eyes of Vanessa, she could clearly handle no more. She was full, completely and absolutely full, and yet with a shaky hand she held up her cup to be refilled. Unable to refuse the drink for her pride, confidence or some other reason.

But as Eloise replaced it a few minutes later with another full cup both knew this could be the end for her. The quiet moans and pulsing of her body now constant and torturous for the sweating woman. The only saving grace in the warm theatre the fact she was still wearing her tight spandex but moisture wicking clothes. They had gotten more than a few looks from people in the lobby, many in their back to the future costumes. But it was unsurprising given how she was acting, thankfully her moans and whimpers didn’t seem to be distracting those around them.

However, it was not Vanessa’s bladder troubles that were starting to worry Eloise as the second film started. It was her own, even in the short time since the movie had ended her need seemed to be going up at a breakneck pace. The large caffeinated drink flowing through her stomach and filling her bladder at a worrying pace. By the halfway point she couldn’t help but jostle her tightly crossed legs as the pressure within her bladder increased in leaps and bounds, the second large drink half finished and now sitting on the floor as to not tempt her.

Glad for the dark surrounding she pressed a hand between her legs, glad for the extra support but she was really starting to worry now. Digging her nails into the arm rest she felt her bladder cramp inside her, a combination of the fizzy drinks and sheer quantity increasing the discomfort she was feeling. While in other days she had been pushing herself, the desire to increase her capabilities of holding strong. As she eyed the half empty cup resting next to her fidgeting feet she already knew that she had drunk too much to be able to hold this amount. She had to pee, and she had to pee soon.

Sitting their restlessly she tried to hold out for the end of the film, but 5 minutes was all it took for her desperation to go from an uncomfortable 8 to a desperate 9. The Coke surging into her bladder that now ached terribly. She couldn’t hold it, she had to get to a bathroom now!

Standing gingerly she felt the weight of her bladder shift uncomfortably inside her, a spasm of her muscles causing her thighs to slam together as she felt her muscles tremble. Excusing herself she shuffled out, ignoring the weird looks from her friends. Slowly walking out into the lobby she could feel the seconds of control she had left slipping, making her increase her pace as the true urgency of the situation made itself known.

Power walking she thrust a hand between her legs as she walked through campus towards her one salvation, the house. Red faced she couldn’t help but blush as she gripped herself through her trousers. Pausing for a moment she doubled over, waiting for the crossing to turn green and allow her to pass. Marching on the spot she contemplated just making a run for it, but thankfully she noticed it start to turn and the cars stopping. Their occupants watching her desperate dash across the road with renewed speed, almost running at this point as she felt her whole body shaking with need. Each step sending shockwaves through her bloated bladder, filled so tightly with coke. The method of her fascination with pushing Vanessa to her limits coming back to bite her, why did she have to drink so much as well! In a way she couldn’t help but feel she in some way deserved this, but she wasn’t about to give in now.

Rounding the corner next to the house she felt her muscles give up for just a moment, stopping where she stood, she clenched all her muscles rhythmically. A deep burning sensation between her legs making her unsure if she had leaked or it was just her muscles. Either way she couldn’t just stand here, so once again she began but this time she did run.

Half sprinting she could feel each layer of her defences peeling back like a high security vault, but she knew she was done for either way. Grabbing the door handle it clicked loudly as she barged it open, sliding on the mat she felt a distinct wetness between her legs for a just a moment.

Throwing herself through her room she all but launched herself into the bathroom, her trousers around her ankles before she had even crossed the threshold of the small room. Pivoting in a half crouch she could already feel her body starting to release, but with not a moment to spare she landed safely on the toilet. A sudden burst of piss erupting out of her, the relief causing her toes to curl in her shoes as she moaned loudly. Her pent-up pee shooting noisily into the bowl as she breathed heavily, it had been close…to close.

Looking down she could see a distinct wet patch on the crotch of her pink panties, she had made it but only by a matter of seconds. Luckily as she inspected her jeans it seemed they had remained dry, just about.

Finishing her pee Eloise couldn’t help but sit there, relaxed and enjoying the sensation of being empty. But at the same time, her mind went back to Vanessa and imagining what she must be going through. Taking off her shoes she quickly undressed, changing her damp underwear that she ashamedly balled up and threw in the bottom of her laundry hamper. Grabbing a new pair she vouched not to let it get to that state again and began to make her way back up to the cinema, hoping to be back in time for the third film.

Sliding back into their row of seats she had arrived at the interval, the lights were back up and she could see the room. While it made getting to her seat easier it did mean it was all but impossible to sneak back to her seat.

“Everything alright?” Summer asked, as she stood to let her past.

“Yeah sorry, forgot my mum was going to call me.” Eloise lied, hoping her blushing cheeks were not a dead give away. But it seemed that she had accepted the explanation as she continued moving down the line.

Sighing as she sat back in her chair she certainly felt much more relaxed, the dance with her accident tiring her out a surprising amount. But hearing a loud groan from her left a shot of adrenaline seemed to surge through her body as she looked over towards Vanessa expectantly.

“You ok?” Allie asked, the last deep groan sounding far more desperate than the last.

“I…think I might head back guys.” Vanessa said, her eyes fluttering a little.

“Come on its just one more film.” Kay said indignantly.

“Im just a little hungry” Vanessa said, smiling awkwardly.

“Why don’t we go out as a house for dinner afterwards? That pub we went too had some nice looking options.” Zara suggested.

Vanessa looked at the others for a moment, the torment of more holding clearly playing on her mind. She was stuck between a rock and a wet place at this point, pursing her lips she nodded reluctantly.

“But I am going to get a refill of popcorn, I’ll go get us all some more drinks too.” Allie said, standing and waving Kay to come with her to help.

“Pass your cups down.” Kay said, holding out her hand.

“Its ok, I still have some of mine since I left” Eloise said, happy to be out of another round of the giant drinks.

“Ok, Vanessa?” Kay said looking at the woman next to her.

“I….” Vanessa said breathlessly as she tried to come up with an excuse.

“Oh never mind, its right here.” Kay said, picking up the empty cup from next to Vanessas pretzeled legs. “Be right back.”

Throughout the next film Eloise could hear something over the loud base filled audio coming from the speakers. An insistent heavy breathing from her left intermingled with increasingly frequent groans was a little distracting to say the least. Unable to focus on the film she was constantly stealing glances at her housemate as the battle within Vanessa seemed to intensify. The once again empty drink laying on its side but allowing one of her hands to grip between her legs as the other held onto the seat ahead of her. Unlike everyone else that was relaxed and leaning back it seemed she had chosen to lean forwards, her hand bracing herself against the row Infront as she pulsed, rocked and bobbed in her seat. But despite her outward appearance she held on, making it through the third film.

“Man I love those films.” Kay said, stretching her arms wide before standing.

“Guys…I…Don’t think I can do this.” Vanessa said, her voice surprisingly calm but her eyes full of panic.

“What do you mean?” Allie asked.

“I cant, hold it” Vanessa whimpered, her voice cracking this time.

“Yes you can!” Zara said supportively.

“You are the last one left, probably in the whole university!” Kay replied.

“But…” Vanessa breathed heavily, wincing as pain raced through her body.

“You are the strongest person I know. You can do this!”

“I….” Vanessa said again, her body convulsing slightly.

“Holy shit guys!” Lucy said from behind them, her eyes glued to her phone that she had just turned back on.

“Classes are back on tomorrow!” She said, looking up at them all.

“Wait, that means you can totally do it Vanessa.” Summer said

“Its just a little longer. Come on, you can beat this.” Kay added.

“Tomorrow…Tomorrow…Just a bit longer” Vanessa panted, her wavering hand outstretching and legs helping her stand. A loud grunt reverberating from her chest as she forced her muscles to obey her. A new fire in her eyes as she could finally see the finish line!

 

 

That night Eloise was once again unable to sleep, tossing and turning as Vanessas grunts and pacing footsteps above her made their way through the silent house and into her mind. The desperate woman clearly unable to sleep as she battled with her body.

Eloise had been worried about missing out on her final hours, but it seemed that only U-Block had been deemed safe. This had lead to a number of room shortages and timetabling conflicts, so much to her surprise and happiness she, Vanessa, Summer and Julia would all share their first class together in the morning. Giving her the perfect reason to go up to the University with them all. Turning over again she heard her alarm go off, was it morning already! She hadn’t slept a wink, but felt more awake and alert than she had in days.

“How are you doing?” Eloise asked as she walked into the kitchen, spotting the even more desperate looking woman writhing in the kitchen. Her easily pregnant looking stomach full of so much liquid it bulged preposterously. The unreal looking bulge formed of days of liquid and held back by the shredded remains of her self control.

“I…I….I…cant do this” Vanessa stammers, her body quaking in desperation.

“Come on, you can do it. Its just a little longer, you have held out so long. You have beaten everyone else you can survive this!”

“I…I’ve never had to go this bad in my life. I don’t even know what is happening any more. I…I just cant anymore!” she all but yelled in the room.

“We can go in early, you just need to hold it like 30 more minutes. Just think about it, the only one to survive the outage!” But looking at her she could see why she was so demanding that she could hold it not one moment more. Her giant bulging body was quivering with every second as her inflated bladder continued stretching her to its absolute limits and clearly driving her mad with desperation.

“Mmmmmm” Vanessa moaned, her hands all but rubbing against her private areas as she continued to groan, the gaps between the pulses spasms and shockwaves it was sending and had been sending for days at this point now measured in seconds not minutes.

“You guys ready for the first day of a new year?” Julia asked cheerfully as she entered the room. Pouring out a dozen energy drink cans from her bag after a late night study session last night. Refilling her water bottle Eloise couldn’t help but notice that even she had a slight bulge in her abdomen. Not a shock given the quantity of cans she had been drinking and thinking about it most of them had gone several days since their accidents. Maybe it wouldn’t be just Vanessa making a made dash for the ladies room after all.

As if on cue they were joined by Summer, dressed in a tight white summer dress and knee-high socks she looked more ready for a day in the sun than a lecture. But she too had a noticeable bulge, her legs gently resting against each other as she stood near the doorway. But none of them compared to Vanessa.

“Ok im ready!” She said, still looking a little tired.

“I can do this.” Vanessa grunted “But we have to go now, im ab..about…to piss myself.” She stuttered as she visibly winced while standing. Air hissing out between her clenched teeth as she heaved herself into the air, a hand pressing into her back.

Grabbing their things the group hastily made their way up to the university, Vanessa managing an impressive turn of speed given her condition. A speed that only seemed to increase the closer they got, grabbing the handles to the uni rooms she was relieved to see them open. The keypad light turning green as she wrenched the doors open, with no other thought than finding the toilets.

“Ah, you three, four. Just the people I was looking for.”

“Mrs Johnson!” Julia said surprised as they came face to face with their school master.

“Would you mind coming with me.” The smartly dressed woman said, the sentence more of a command that a question. Looking around Eloise could see Vanessa die a little inside as her relief was delayed yet again.

Walking into the office it had been transformed from the shady dim room it was before into a bright and almost welcoming old space.

“Please, take a seat.” Mrs Johnson said, the group filing in and grabbing one of the wooden chairs situated in front of the desk.

“I have something I meant to ask you all, but thought it would be better to do it in person. But first, where are my manners.” She said, walking over and grabbing a steaming tea pot from the small table to their left. Placing it on the desk she began to pour four small cups of the liquid and handing them out.

“So it is tradition for us to hold an annual industry meet and greet with last years graduates each year. It gives the top students that have left us a chance to talk and mingle with some of the best and most influential people in our sector. But this year we have decided to include you three, sorry four as added guests. You have all proven yourselves extremely capable and would like you to represent our current students at the event if you wouldn’t mind.”

“That would be amazing!” Julia said excitedly before checking herself. “Sorry, I mean it would be a privilege” she replied while taking a sip from her tea.

Eloise couldn’t help but feel a little like a fourth wheel here by circumstance rather than merit, but it would certainly be a good learning experience. Sipping her tea she had to bite her tongue slightly to stop herself reacting. The black tea far more bitter than she was use to, yet it was a familiar bitterness that she couldn’t quite place.

“But what about classes?” Summer asked, herself seemingly enjoying the strong herbal blend of whatever was in the tea pot and drinking It happily.

“Oh no worries there, its not scheduled until this afternoon. I will have a car ready to take you to the event once your lessons are over.” She said smiling, refilling Summers cup which she had emptied.

“What do we need to do?” Julia asked.

“Oh nothing really. Simply go there speak to people and see if anything piques your interest. Its as much for you as it is the university, its good for us to get our students out there and have a presence in the biggest companies. Several of our best graduates have been hired soon after these events so it’s a good opportunity to make a good impression for yourself and the university. There is a panel with our alumni that I would like you to take part in though, simply a Q and A sort of thing, assuming you want too?”

“Yes!” Julia jumped at the chance. The others simply nodding.

“Sure thing, now Eloise I know you are just a first year. But I thought it would be good to send along a new student to see what you thought about it. But it could be a good experience for you too, see what areas of the industry you might want to go into for example.”

“Yes mam” Eloise nodded.

“Good, now I did just want to go through a couple of things so that we are all one the same page.”

20 long minutes later they had all been briefed by her about the school and what to say at certain topics. The friendly good for you atmosphere replaced by a serious and important one of them having a job to do. It seemed there was a lot riding on this event, for Mrs Johnson and the university in general.

“Right then, I better let you get to class. I will make sure that the car is ready to pick you up once your classes have finished. Please make sure to be ready, punctuality is always important at these events and I don’t want them to have to wait for our students.” She finished, standing and indicating for them to do the same.

Groaning as she stood Mrs Johnson looked at Vanessa wearily. “Everything ok Vanessa?”

“Yes mam” She said breathlessly, a forced smile appearing on her flushed face.

“Good, now enjoy your first class.”

Walking down the corridor they hurried along, their class starting in just one minute. A longing and desperate look towards the ladies’ room from Vanessa showing she was more than contemplating dashing in, but panting slightly she forced her legs to carry on past it and into the lecture room. Maybe they would have a break, or she could find some other way of excusing herself.

The large room itself was filled with a couple of hundred students, many grouped together already. Finding unoccupied chairs, the housemates grabbed a number of desks near the back of the room. The young-looking lecturer at the front currently shuffling some papers on the front desk before clearing her throat and starting the session. They had arrived without a moment to spare, not that Vanessa seemed to be happy about her own punctuality.

“ladies, welcome back to my classes or hello for the first time.” The Lecturer smiled, her teeth perfect and shinning as she warmly welcomed them.

“Now, I thought it would be fun to start the year with a little practical. It will also have some down time so you can get to know some of the newer students” she said, her hand indicating to the number of first years.

“Thank god.” Vanessa muttered quietly beside Eloise. Her crossed legs going back to jigging furiously beneath the desks, something she had been fighting herself from doing in the dean’s office.

“So, some theory before the fun. In 2011 a scientist from the Netherlands linked the fullness of one’s bladder to the ability to make better rational decisions. A thought that is largely at odds with how many of us feel when we have a strong urge, you would expect the irritability to cause bad choices. But in their studies, they found that people already suppressing an impulse, the impulse to pee, were fundamentally better at making other choices where impulse was important. The outcome of their research suggesting that the areas of the brain needed to resolve one could be linked to the other.

“Oh god…” Vanessa said softly, her brain already seeing where this “practical” was going.

“So, today we are going to do something similar. We are going to test the impacts of a full bladder on academic test scores. These general science tests will also serve as a starting grade for your year with me so its not just a case of not trying. I expect you all to do your best, but due to the nature of these examinations you will not be able to leave the room until both sets are complete.”

“Oh God!” Vanessa whimpered again, her voice far shaky as she was once again delayed but this time in the worst possible way. Her hold increasing in length substantially at this point, the mere seconds away she had been twice already taunting her mind. Biting her lip her legs went into overdrive, the vibrations shaking the desk Eloise was sharing with her.

“Now, because we have several years all in one class room we are going to have to modify the tests according to each of your bladder holding capabilities. It would be unfair to give the first years enough to make a dent in a third year, and not really worth it to do the opposite. As such, First years will be given 2 litres, second years 3.5L and 5L for third years. You will have two hours to drink the isotopically balanced drink during the first test. This will be followed by a 30-minute break for first years, an hour for second years and two hours for you third years. Then you will carry out the second two-hour test. You will be free to go once you complete the second test, but until then you must remain in the room.

Even Eloise’s eyes went wide as she explained everything, they sure were not easing people into it. She would have to down 2 litres and hold it for Four and a half hours! Could she do that, but more importantly could Vanessa hold 5 more litres. The sweating and panting third year about to be truly pushed far, far beyond her limits.

 

 

 

Less than four hours later Eloise hobbled out of the room, her legs and muscles quivering as she fought for control. It had been humiliating to be the first of them to leave, she couldn’t even remember the last few questions from the test that she had blitzed through. Despite trying to measure their ability to do tasks while desperate, she just couldn’t hold on any longer and as bad as it had been to walk out like this, it was better than the alternative. Her underwear was already damp for the second time in as many days, standing up and the walking to the front too much for her muscles. She hadn’t considered herself to be a leaker, but if recent events were anything to go on she might have to start worrying about it.

Urging herself forwards she found her way into the ladies room, silently glad to be the first out so there wasn’t a que. Opening the stall she breathed a sigh of relief as she let the ocean inside her empty out into the toilet below her.  What was she going to do at the end of term if this was as much as she could hold. Would she be forced to take the remedial classes that Allie had talked about?

Finding a seat in the hall she got out her phone, trying to find something to pass the time until her friends were out. The group of super holders surely able to keep control of themselves of their test scores. But worrying for Eloise as she watched the last of the first years desperately scurry for the bathroom after finishing their tests properly, she could already feel her own bladder filling considerably again. Something that happened a further two times over the next two and a half hours, what had she done to herself. Was it something to do with her holding too much, maybe it was something to do with the Isotonic drink they had just forced her to drink. Either way as she peed for the third time that morning, she couldn’t help but feel a little worried for her future at this university if this was what the first day was like. Taking her seat back in the hall Eloise sank into the uncomfortably hard chair and waited for the others.

She didn’t have to wait long, the third years all walking out together after finishing their test with no real effort for most of them. But as she looked towards her friends it was a totally different story, each of them looked incredibly uncomfortable as their bladders once again bulged out of their skin. The five litres and days without relief pushing them all back to the bitter edge of control once again. But none of them compared even slightly to the state of Vanessa. Her enormous bladder so full it was barely recognisable as one, jutting out of her far more than anyone’s should do. The hemline of her leggings now below the ocean of pee inside her, compressed beneath the mass of liquid which hung over them precariously.

 

“Ladies Where have you been?” Dean Johnson said as she hurried down the corridor towards them, her heels loudly clacking off the surface “The event starts in an hour, you need to get going now otherwise you will be late.”

“B, But…” Vanessa pleaded, the others looking on nervously both for their friend and their own clearly full bladders. The bathroom just a few feet away, but a long que forming out of the door as another class of first years had finished up just before they had emerged. There was no way they could make it to the event in time if they waited, but would they even make it to the event without exploding?

“The journey takes about an hour, im not even sure if you will make it on time if you leave right now. Better not keep them waiting any longer you cant afford to be late.” The dean reaffirmed again as as almost physically pushed the group towards the exit next to her office. The side door offering good access to the staff parking where a large black car was waiting for them.

Bundling in all three of them let out varying degrees of groans as they sat. A loud cracking noise sounding in the car as the elastic of Vanessas leggings finally gave up the ghost and disintegrated around her giant bladder. The ordinarily strong material torn to tatters by her expanded abdomen and the pressure it was generating.

Despite only taking an hour to get to the event, Eloise had begun to fidget in the back of the car as she joined the others in needing the use of a bathroom once again. The fact worrying her greatly, she knew she had drunk a lot in the lesson but surely it had all come out now? Had she waited too long, had she damaged something by trying to hold too much too soon at the cinema yesterday?

Stepping out of the car she blinked in the sunlight, her thighs rubbing together for a few moments before she started towards the large white brick building that lay ahead of them. The large hall surrounded by a number of expensive cars and people milling around. Large signs advertised the many products and services that those in attendance today offered, some of the largest brands in the world were here!

“Right this way please” A young woman with a clip board said to their side. “The talk is about to begin I’m afraid we are already a couple of minutes behind schedule.”

Looking at each other for a moment they followed the ponytailed woman inside the building, being led to a large double door as they all tried to put their desperation to the back of their minds. It was supposed to be a two hour talk and Eloise was quickly starting to worry about having to admit her need in a packed room full of experts on the matter. Her classmates and fellow students had been one thing but this would be something else.

“I’m sorry, it’s just those three.” She said, holding up a hand to stop Eloise.

“What?” Eloise asked confused.

“I’m afraid its Miss Vanessa, Julia and Summer that have been asked to take part as final year students. You will have to take a seat in the auditorium, just head down their and through those doors on the left.” The woman said.

“Oh, ok” Eloise said slightly dejectedly.

“Hey, we will see you after.” Summer said smiling at her, the blonde’s legs shifting where she stood.

“Sure thing.” Eloise smiled back, leaving the three of them too it and taking a seat near the rear of the auditorium just as the talk began.

The talk itself was actually quite interesting, the various alumni talking about their graduate placements and how they got into the industry. But Eloise could tell many were watching her three friends at the end of the line of students. Summer and Julia clearly embarrassed and red faced while they tried and failed to control their squirming. Strangely it was Vanessa who seemed in the most control as she sat there looking like a blimp, her face sweating and wincing as her bloated and bulging body twitched. Her tormented bladder sending signal after signal for more than a week to empty itself, but still the deathly proud or stubborn owner of it held on and other than the gentle rocking of her body she was still. Although she was clearly struggling as she stared off at a point on the horizon, completely not registering anything that was going on around her. Thankfully it seemed the questions were aimed at the three of them in general and as such the other two fielded most of the questions.

But that became more of an issue as time wore on, entering the second hour is was clear that Julia and Summer were struggling more and more. Summers crossed legs bouncing as she gently placed her hands folded on her lap. Her deep Blue eyes and pink metallic painted lips quivering in unison a she bit them, her beaming white teeth now covered in pinkish marks from her lipstick. Sweat forming on her and Julia’s forehead as they tried to remain composed as the pressure within them mounted.

In the crowd a similar sensation was filling Eloise with dread, her own bladder filling once more although thankfully slower this time. Even so, with 10 minutes to go she was once again forced to excuse herself. It wasn’t as bad as it had been in the lecture, but if she had done something to herself she knew she had to be smart and start taking any and all opportunities to save her graces.

Sneaking out from the back of the large room she made her way to the ladies’ room the others had spotted before. Entering a cubicle, she sat and let her body relax once more, yawning as the lack of sleep took its tool on her. Smacking her lips she tasted the weirdly familiar bitter tea, but as she sat there her brain finally connected the two memories. It was the beer! The diuretic ladened beer she had drunk almost two weeks ago and that had spelt disaster for Lucy, the first of them to loose it so long ago. But wait, that couldn’t be right could it? Surely the dean wasn’t dosing her students with potent diuretics? But it would explain how she had felt today, the repeated bathroom trips after the tea and litres of water. The only question remaining was why, why would she do it.

Finishing up and still confused by the revelation Eloise made her way to the corridor, seeing that the talk was finally ending. Going back to the door she had been turned away from she waited for her friends to emerge. Should she tell them, but what if she was wrong. There really wasn’t much to go on.

The door in front of them opened, a member of staff holding it open for the guests.

Grunting and clutching herself Vanessa waddled out of the room, Eloise had thought it impossible for her to look any bigger and yet every time she looked it seemed as if the poor woman had grown even more. Her bladder inflating like a water balloon, possibly due to the effects of the diuretic that had broken their friend more than a week earlier.

“Toilet, Toilet, Toilet, Toilet” Summer muttered loudly as she almost raced past Vanessa, heading directly towards the ladies room. A slow moving Julia holding herself but following in the same direction as they sought their much needed relief.

“Well, I think that went well. Don’t you think.” A familiar voice sounded behind them. The dean of their University coming out of one of the audience doors. She must have snuck in unnoticed near the end.

“Yes mam” Julia said, pressing her legs together tightly and trying to put on a professional demeanour.

“Im sorry, I…” Summer started

“I’ve got some people I would like you to meet” Mrs Johnson said ignoring the pleas of Summer and the obvious shows of absolute desperation all three were putting on.

“I…” Summer tried again.

“Right this way, they are the leads on the Darrius project that…Aren’t you coming?” She asked clearly annoyed.

“Bu…hu…hu” Vanessa stammered, her eyes fluttering and going into the back of her head for a moment. Her entire body shaking as she stood there, half stooped as her absolutely enormous bladder forced her to stand with an unnatural stance. Taking another longing look at the bathroom and then back at the unimpressed dean of her University she shook again before turning to follow.

“I…” Summer said, her tone of voice several octaves higher as she pitched one thigh into the other before relenting and following. Her knees knocking as she walked and causing her white skirt to flutter.

“These are Kim and Tony” she said indicating to a pair of casually dressed twins, the two women smiling at them.

“I would like to introduce some of our top students” She said the two groups exchanging awkward handshakes.

As they talked Eloise could see Summers nervous glances towards the bathroom, her knees continuing to hit into each other as she stood still, trying her best to listen to the apparently important women. Vanessa however could not have looked more zoned out, her matted hair sticking to her sweaty face as she continued to groan quietly, swallowing hard and teetering slightly where she stood. Her condition getting more than a fair share of concerned glances from the pair of women she was being introduced too. Yet they said and did nothing to help her. Julia was doing most of the talking, her stocking clad legs gently rasping against each other, the noise of the nylon just audible over the idle chit chat going on in the room.

“Anyway, we need to go and find Thomas Elder. We said we would meet up with him after.” The pair of women said as if they all knew him, taking a last glance at Vanessa the pair departed.

As soon as their backs were turned the three desperate women all took a step towards the bathroom before they were cut off once again. Fate cruelly playing them off against relief and professional and academic standings.

“Who else can I introduce you too.” Mrs Johnson considered for a moment, glancing around the room.

“I think” “I need” Julia and Summer spoke up at the same time. Desperate to find a way of the situation without offending their school dean.

“Ah Julian, I would like you to meet some of our top students.” Mrs Johnson said, ignoring their plight once again.

“Mrs Johnson” Summer whimpered, her own movements stopping as she clenched her muscles tightly. Her hands turning into tight fists by her sides as she grimaced, almost pulsing where she stood.

“Right then Summer, Julia, Vanessa. I would like you too….”

“Uhhhhh!” A shout filled the room, cutting the deans introductions off moments before a loud splattering noise erupted from beneath Summer as she doubled over in pain.

Beside Eloise a waterfall of piss was falling between summers slender legs, her white knee-high socks instantly wet and turning slightly yellow. Pee racing down her thighs, spiralling down her now still legs, rivulets forking off in many directions as the forceful spray continued. More streams fell from her supple skin, flushed red by the constant movement throughout the last hour as she had tried to fight this. But here Summer stood, meters from a bathroom uncontrollably wetting herself while surrounded by some of the most important people in her industry.

“Im sorry” She sobbed at the dean of her school who looked on gobsmacked. Her mouth hanging open but eyes strangely sparkling as Eloise looked into them. Her fascination with what was going on in front of her matched by the dean and all but confirming her thoughts about the diuretic she had given to them all.  

“I…”the Dean stuttered. “Im sorry, I didn’t realise.” She tried to lie.

The downpour between Summers legs capturing her attention as she watched on, summers hands covering her face as she continued to shake. Her inflated bladder slowly receding as its contents were nosily spilled onto the floor beneath her.

As the accident slowed down the Dean seemed to come to her senses, beckoning over the woman that had met them. Having a word in her ear it seemed they were having some sort of urgent conversation.

“Im sorry girls, I will have you taken home now.” The dean announced.

“But…” Julia started, her own legs bending and crossing as Summers accident expedited the desperation she felt.

“The car will take you back to the university.” She said before turning around and leaving the four of them. Their guide ushering them out to the car park once more before they could protest. Julia’s neck craning round as she tried to get one last look at the toilets. But once again she and the others were bundled into the back of the car, the woman having a word with the driver before they set off back to the university.

 

Sitting quietly the group of them simply stared out at the passing countryside. The groans and grunts of Vanessa somehow blending into the background. The uttered tones now so common place to hear over the last day or two that even Eloise was taking less notice of them. Opposite her Julia was staring out the window, her hand clutching the edge of her emerald skirt as her black stockings bounced up and down.

Summer was clearly humiliated once more, the latest wetting in the middle of the event far worse than even the one in the gym. Resting her head against the headrest she was simply staring at the floor, her cheeks still red and tears forming in the corners of her eyes which she would occasionally wipe away.

Looking out the window Eloise watched the scenery go by for some time, until she saw a sign for the nearby city. Why were they heading towards it, it was in the opposite direction to the University? Looking at her friends it seemed none of them had noticed, Vanessa and Julia to desperate while Summer was seemingly in her own head.

“Where are we headed?” She asked the driver loudly, Julia and Summer looking up.

“To the University” her replied

“Isn’t it the other way?” Eloise asked.

Taking a moment to press some buttons on the Satnav the driver was clearly checking something.

“Im sorry, I must have put in the wrong address. I will take the next off ramp and correct” He said, but surely he would have had the correct code in considering he picked them up there. Didn’t he work for the university, how could he get it wrong she wondered. Checking her watch they had been driving for almost 45 minutes the wrong direction, turning their hour drive into two and a half if he found an off ramp soon.

Opposite her Julia was biting her bottom lip, a look of dire concern on her face. Breathing rapidly through her nose only her legs moved faster, her legs running on the spot as her stockings rubbed against each other so fast Eloise was starting to worry about Julia starting a fire in the back of the car.

“Oh god, oh god, oh no, no, no , no , no” She muttered constantly for the next 30 minutes as she sat there, ashen faced. Her display of desperation far more acted than when she had lost it in the library. Although in that case Julia had something to occupy her mind, while right now all she must have been thinking about was her need to pee. A fact that ultimately proved fatal as she went wide eyed, her head looking up and catching Eloise’s.

“You have to stop the car” She said with some urgency.

“Im sorry mam, we are on the motorway I cant just pull over.” The driver responded as Julia uncrossed and recrossed her legs even tighter for a moment. Her balled up fists pressing into her crotch as she wiggled in her seat.

“But I…Oooohhhh” Julia whimpered, her face contorting into a look of discomfort as she screwed her eyes closed.  

“Mmm” Julia whimpered again, her legs pressing into each other even tighter on the leather seats. But it was no use, for the second time that week she was starting to wet herself. The noise of the engine and wheels covering up the faint hiss of her accident but sitting opposite her, it was impossible for Eloise to miss the river of clear liquid rolling down from her chair. A puddle spreading out in the back of the seat before rushing off the waterproof seats and pooling on the floor. As pee cascaded down from the leather seats the unmistakable smell of fresh urine filled the car as another of the group lost control of her bladder.

But she was still fighting, Julia’s hands still pressing deeply in her crotch as she tried to stem the tide but it was no use, her frantic leg movements becoming slower and slower until they stopped completely. Her legs pressed together as her bladder continued to empty, her shoulders sagging and eyes looking down as she sobbed gently. She had lost control of her bladder once again, she was supposed to be one of the top holders and yet here she was, pissing herself in a car. The only positive was that she wasn’t alone, Summers clothes still drying from her own accident.

Next to her Vanessa somehow seemed oblivious of what was going on, her desperate brain detached from all reality as it had been for most of the day. One hand gripping between her double-crossed legs, the other slowly rubbing her bladder in small circular motions that seemed to be barely touching her skin. Any and all additional pressure causing her excruciating pain, her skin pulled as taught as possible and threatening to pop at any moment.

Where ever Vanessa had gone too, the plain of existence somehow let her maintain her control all the way back to the university. Her rounded bladder bulging even more monstrously as she managed to outhold two of the top bladders not once but twice, the volume of pee inside her incomprehensible.

Opening the door the evening had turned dark, the sun just about setting behind the large campus building. Stepping out Eloise was surprised to see the Dean stood waiting for them, had she planned all this?

“Im sorry about what happened earlier.” She said, her eyes glued to watching Vanessa get out of the car behind her. Not an easy task given her current predicament, a constant moan punctuated by heavy breathing escaping her as her whole body heaved up and down. Her eyes returning back to the present and going wide as if she truly had been having an outer body experience.

“Please, follow me.” The dean said, walking back towards the door to her office they had come out of earlier.

Sitting down in the chairs the stains and patterns of Julia’s and Summers wet clothes still visible despite them drying. The pair sullen but trying to be respectful as they sat in the office. Next to them Vanessa was even more of a mess than she had been in the morning, unable to hide her desperation at all now she had returned to her body.

Whimpering softly she fidgeted madly, her knees bouncing as she double crossed her legs and supported her bloated bladder with her hands.

“Now I wanted to apologise for what happened and make sure you know that it wont be held against you in anyway.”

“I…thank you” Summer said, although she hadn’t thought it would be.

“I think that despite it you all made a positive impression on the visitors and I think that…”

“Please let me use the bathroom, I’ve never needed to go this badly in my life. I was about to explode 8 hours ago and since then I’ve drunk so much, I just cant.” Vanessa uttered at break neck speed, the urgency clear in her voice as she all but exploded on the spot.

“Vanessa! I understand your position, but that is not how you should speak to me or how someone of your stature shouldn’t be talking. We pride ourselves on control at this university and the event tonight should have been reserved for just the graduates of other years. But given your track record I thought you would make the most of it but clearly, I was mistaken.” The dean shot back, surprised at the lack of decorum from her top student.

“Im…Im sorry mam, but im about to wet myself in your office if you don’t let me go…please!” she begged with tears rolling down her cheeks. Finally, at her wits end she was truly begging for more than just her dignity, forks of pain wracking her body every second. The pulses increasing in ferocity as she kept her bladder shut away and forced to expand even more.

“Well, I never” The dean replied.

“Im so full” Vanessa reiterated, her bulging body creaking under the weight of her bladder’s contents. The fraying of her leggings not the only thing that was starting to be destroyed by it.

“Vanessa, you are top of your class and have been since first year. I am sure that you can hold on long enough to finish this conversation.” The dean said calmly.

Groaning loudly Vanessa plunged her fists between her legs, “Please!” she pleaded, her eyes watering as she locked her legs together in a death grip.

“Fine, if you must.” The chancellor waved her away dismissively

But it was already too late, Eloise had seen the first burst of wetness moments ago. She hadn’t been kidding when she said she was about to lose it and now as Vanessa groaned, her bladders contents exploded out of her with tremendous force. A torrent of liquid pushing past her clenched hands and spraying around them noisily in all directions. The deafening patter of her instantaneous and sudden loss of control sounding around the room like a tropical rainstorm as Vanessa let out another guttural yell. Her whole body shaking and quivering as if possessed, her bladder overwhelming everything else in her body as fireworks of conflicting signals erupted all over her abdomen. Her muscles still contracting and forcing themselves inwards while her crotch seemingly imploded in wetness. Thick streams erupted in all directions, the heavily pressurised streams falling almost a meter away from her in some cases as the others stood up to avoid being drenched in their friends monumental accident. Her mammoth bladder threatening to flood the room if it kept up.

A river of steaming piss was running down both her legs at breakneck pace, her absolutely drenched leggings unable to stop any liquid having already absorbed as much as they could. Not a squire inch was spared as they darkened, her pee hissing loudly through them as it continued to erupt out of her at some pace. The force causing it to shoot through the crotch of her seemingly thick clothes, the barriers of her underwear and trousers no match for the pressure build-up that had been torturing the groaning woman for almost two weeks.

Vanessa had pushed herself to the edge and then some, past any limits Eloise or anyone thought possible. 11 days of not skimping on drinking but including nights out, a full bladdered exam and seemingly a dose of some pretty strong diuretics if Eloise’s hunch was right. Putting her hands on the desk Vanessa groaned loudly again as she let her bladder hang freely beneath her, rivers of piss escaping from her in all directions and spreading for meters across the floor.

Eloise couldn’t think of anything, her brain completely empty of anything but the images of the show being played out in front of her. The largest bladdered woman she had ever seen, or possibly there had ever been was still peeing fiercely in the dean’s office. A puddle of unfathomable size spreading out of her as the drum beat of her accident continued, backed up by a percussive hiss and vocal groans. Her bladder and abdominal muscles stretched to their limits and finally gaining control as they forced the ocean of pee she had been holding out of her.

For almost five minutes the group watched in a silent awe of Vanessa's accident, almost the entire wooden floor was coated in her pee. It was by far the most anyone had ever seen anyone hold, even the dean was looking on with a faint impressed look. But as she looked up and caught Eloise watching her, her demeanour changed instantly. A scowl now on her face she crossed her arms, staring intently at the woman who had just drowned her office in piss.

“Well then, we will continue this another time then. Now if you are quite finished I think you should leave my office.” She said, her toes splashing in the puddle that had run under her desk.

“I…” Vanessa uttered, her mind filled with a tired and euphoric cloud. Silently the group left, unspeaking about what had just happened. But while they may never speak of it again, there was no way Eloise was going to forget what she had just seen. It was a sight that would visit her in her dreams over and over again, the first week at university more than meeting her expectations.

 

Back in her office the dean stood with her arms crossed, looking down at the enormous puddle she let herself have a curt smile at her handywork. Flipping open her phone she quickly dialled in a number.

“Well?” She said expectantly.

“I…I have never…she broke your record Mam.”

“She broke my record?”

“Yes Mam.” The voice repeated.

Smiling to herself the dean hung up. Taking a deep breath she picked up the red phone on her desk. The same one that she had been nervous to answer.

“Chancellor, we’ve got them.”

A moment of silence filled the room, before a soft murmur came through the other end of the phone.

Yes sir, she broke my record. The summer internationals are ours this year.”

Another murmur came through, seemingly impressed sounding.

“Thank you sir, Yes I will keep you updated on their progress.”

Hanging up the phone she sat back in her chair, relaxing and feeling happy as the contents of Vanessa's tortured bladder continued to spread around the room. She had done her job.

 

The end...for now?

@Markj9494 I really love this story (just like all of your other stories too!), but I can't resist to peek and ask something what's on my mind for some time. Is this story going to be over after Vanessa pees herself, or is it set for a big sequel?

I'm feeling that most of your other stories feel like a complete work, and even if one of them will have a sequel, it will be completely different story, just with same characters or places, but this story has so many mysteries and hints that it just screams to me about further development. Like Eloise starting to feel the taste of holding fun not just from professional side. Or Eloise seeing dreams and unusual thoughts about omorashi (is it relevant to her "magic" watch she has to wear?). Mysterious university executives with their experiment. Kay dropping a bomb on Eloise that quite a lot of girls here enjoy holding/wetting but wetting is a real taboo topic.

Am I right that this novel is far from the end, and there's a sequel already planned where all these mysteries will start to unwrap like Easter Eggs, while Eloise's adventures will go further?

Since someone asked 😛 I do have some ideas about where I could take this story and even have half of another chapter written as a kind of Epilogue, it does answer a few of your questions / explain a bit more about how the school works / came to be the way it did. But I have been having a bit of trouble making it entertaining enough for its own chapter. But watch this space.

The watch isn't magic although that is an interesting thought, simply far more intrusive than indicated by the dean. I have an explanation of why / how they came to be a thing in the afore mentioned unreleased chapter, so I wont explain here in case I manage to finish writing the next chapter. The dreams were more apparitions of the internal struggle between her enjoying it, doing the right thing and also trying to be "normal". But if its something you are interested in I have half a story written about something along those lines. 

Sadly while there is scope and some ideas floating around for a continuation, It probably wont be for a while. This story took me close to 3 months to write and release, and I haven't even started to fully flesh out the next parts if there will be some. But given by how well this seems to have gone down, I will definitely think about it. Although I have a steadily growing list of stories on my "to do" list. Including one that I started about 6 months ago but keep getting distracted from. So I might have a play with that one first.
