Before the driver could finish, Leah let out a massive fart. A couple students cooed at her.
"Aw, she's making her poopie face!" whispered one girl to another. Leah blushed as she realized the student was right. Her knees bent into an instinctive squat. She began to push, grunting loudly. In front of the entire bus, she was messing herself. And she wasn't being even slightly subtle about it.
"She's soooooo cute!" gushed a boy that Leah didn't know. "And it's so weird. Like, if I did that, it'd be gross. But when the school babies do it, it's adorable!"
Leah could feel her mood lightening. Her peers weren't upset or even neutral. They actively thought she was cute when she pooped. This was a dream come true!
Now excited, Leah hammed it up, putting on a show. She grunted loudly, bending even deeper, not shying away from letting out enormous fart after fart. And every single person, including the bus driver, acted like she was a toddler doing a dance.
Eventually, a final log sputtered out into her diaper with a soft fart. Leah straightened, sighing with relief. The bus driver ruffled her hair.
"You always put on a show for your morning poopies, sweetheart. Now, go to your carrier, okay? We've gotta pick up a few more students."
"I'll take her to her carrier," said a voice Leah recognized. Leah beamed. It was her best friend, Tonya! Tonya took her hand and led her to the back of the bus. Sitting on the seat was a baby carrier. Tonya turned to Leah. "Hey, bestie."
"Hey," Leah giggled.
"Phew, you filled that diaper up! Want a change right now?" Tonya asked. Leah froze. A diaper change on a school bus? That was something she had to think about before agreeing to.
