Zoe, acting as if this was a daily occurrence for her, slid her chair backwards and grabbed a few important documents before Richard’s hands started thrashing about. He grunted and swore but with the two men holding him down he was completely immobilised. “I was hoping we could skip this stage.” Zoe said with a sigh, “Your immaturity is even worse than the report suggested.” Richard could hardly believe his ears. They were calling him immature for resisting being humiliated and sentenced to a life of infantilisation, it seemed pretty acceptable to resist. He growled and issued vague threats that he had no hope of fulfilling and everyone, including Richard, knew as much. As he swore at the guards, at Zoe, and at the system, he still had tears rolling down his face. Without any preamble, Richard suddenly felt his pants being pulled down. He gasped and tried to kick away the hands, but he was physically outmatched. It wasn’t long before his ass was exposed. He squirmed but the hands would not be moved. He was trapped. Reality was starting to hit him, and it felt like a knockout blow. “Stop it!” Richard cried out, “You can’t do this!” Evidently, they could. Richard felt a hand smack against his butt. He squealed and felt himself going red as he started to sob in defeat. It wasn’t just some horrible nightmare; he really was going to be treated like nothing more than a baby from then on. More blows landed on his ass, but he barely reacted as he sobbed on the desk. Richard was still being spanked when Zoe walked back around the desk and sat down in her chair. She took a moment to straighten some papers and then picked up her phone. Richard looked up at her, wincing as another spank landed on his cheeks. Through the snot and tears that was covering his face he watched the young woman dispassionately hold the receiver to her ear. “Yes, could you send Richard’s parents to my office please.” Zoe said, “They should be in a car in the parking lot. If you can’t find them, putting out an announcement on the loudspeaker system should do it. Thank you.” Richard put his head on the desk face down. The spanking stopped as swiftly as it had started but now his pants and underwear was unceremoniously stripped from his body. They were tossed into a pile in the corner. As the guards let Richard slump back into his seat, he instinctively covered his private parts. With his face a deep crimson he continued to sniffle and blubber. “Richard, this is a shock, so I will overlook that you tried to assault a government official.” Zoe said, “But the decision is made. You are a Little. The sooner you accept it the happier you’ll be.” Richard sniffed back the tears that were still rolling down his face. He raised one hand to wipe at his eyes whilst using the other to try and maintain his modesty. The way Zoe looked at him had changed, he already saw it. He was no longer an equal in her eyes, no longer someone worth listening to. He was a Little, a baby, someone whose opinion mattered very little, if at all. He ducked his head, defeated. “Guards, take him to the next stage.” Zoe said. Richard felt the hands on his shoulders clench slightly. He looked up at the men who seemed to tower over him, their grip certain enough that he wouldn’t be going anywhere they didn’t want any time soon. “Son, you can either get up and walk out of here with us or we carry you.” The older of the two guards said. Richard looked up at him. He had that same unquantifiable look that Zoe did. A look that let Richard know that he was no longer like them, that he wasn’t Big anymore. A brief flicker, the last dying flame, of resistance made him consider trying to break free, but it fizzled out in seconds. He looked down and nodded his head. He slowly got to his feet, his knees feeling weak. “Have a good day.” Zoe said as Richard turned away from the chair. If it wasn’t for the seriousness of the situation, Richard could’ve laughed. Richard kept his hands clamped over his privates as he was led out of the office. He whimpered and dragged his feet as they emerged into the hallway, the guards flanking him tightly. He saw people walking, going about their days. Most of them seemed to work at the Designation Office as they barely gave the half-naked Richard a second look, some were other young people who were wide-eyed and nervous, and then there was… “Richard!?” Sandy’s voice came from a door Richard had just passed, “What’s going on?” Richard turned away. He couldn’t look the young woman in the face, not when he was so exposed, not when his face was so red and streaked with tears. He noticed that Sandy didn’t seem overly distraught, she must’ve been designated Big. “Move along.” The guard nearest Sandy said. “But…” Sandy started. Eager to get away from the situation, Richard started walking faster. He let out a little sniffle. If he felt that embarrassed being seen by a person who he had only shared a handful of minutes with, how on Earth was he ever going to face his family. Just the thought of them seeing him, knowing they would have to look after him going forwards, was enough to make him feel like he was going to throw up. “Richard, you didn’t get made a Little, right?” Sandy called down the corridor. “In here, please.” The guard said as he pushed open a non-descript door. Richard allowed himself a second to glance back and see Sandy staring at him, her mouth was wide open, in her hands she carried a certificate with an obvious green stamp on it. He stepped over the threshold and hung his head, more than anything he wished he was about to walk out of that place with a similar document. One that said the next day would be just like the one previously. “Who have we got here then?” An older woman, sitting at a computer on a desk in the corner asked as she stood up. “Richard Divey.” The guard said. Richard hadn’t noticed the younger guard pick up the paperwork, but it was handed to the woman to look over. The woman, presumably a nurse, looked over the papers and then up at Richard’s sorry looking form. “You guards can wait outside.” The nurse said, “This Little one isn’t going to cause any problems, is he?” Richard didn’t immediately answer. He thought he could overpower the nurse and there was a door on the other side of the room that he could maybe get through… but then what? He would be lost inside the building with every guard looking for him. He knew what being designated Little meant, there was no escaping it no matter how much he begged or fought. He shook his head and looked down at the ground. “Are you sure?” The bigger guard asked, “He was a little excitable in the interview room.” “I’ll be fine.” Nurse replied, “The poor thing is just scared.” Richard couldn’t deny that. He was very scared, even now he could imagine his parents being taken to see Zoe and told what had happened. He could see his mom looking as upset as the one in the lobby, the one watching her newly baby boy being dragged out the exit. He could picture his dad trying to remain strong and stoic. It was nearly enough to start him sobbing again. “Alright.” The older guard said after looking at Richard, “But if there’s any trouble, call out and we’ll be here in less than a second.” “Just remember…” The younger guard leaned in close to Richard, “If you try to hurt the nurse or run away, you will be in some very serious trouble. Understood?” For emphasis he seemed to push his hip out a bit. Richard looked and saw something holstered, whether it was a taser or a gun he wasn’t sure, either way he knew he had nothing left to fight for. He’d lost the moment he stepped foot in Zoe’s office. The guards left. Richard remained stood in the centre of the room with his hands cupped over his genitals and, for the first time, looked around the room. In many ways it was similar to the nurse’s office he had seen at school a few times over the years. A clean white space with cabinets and counters along most of the walls. There were some posters about first aid and how to spot early signs of certain conditions. It was the object in the centre of the room that Richard found himself trying to avoid. Each time his eyes fell on it he felt his heart race and his throat tighten. The long table wasn’t unlike a regular nurse’s table. Except that, underneath this one, on shelves running its full length, were diapers, wipes and powder. He stared at one of the folded up white diapers and felt his legs shaking. The idea that he would soon be wearing one, that he would wear nothing but diapers as underwear for the rest of his life, was nearly overwhelming. “OK, Richard, I need some information from you.” The nurse said, then she looked up and seemed to realise something, “Oh, where are my manners? I haven’t told you my name. I’m Brianna.” “Richard…” Richard replied without really thinking. His eyes were still on the diapers, and he wondered if he had been too hasty in writing off an escape attempt. “I know, sweetie.” Brianna said with a compassionate smile, “I need a few measurements from you, just a basic health check.” Richard was in a state of shock as Brianna proceeded to direct him this way and that. His height was taken, then his weight, she checked his blood sugar, his reflexes, listened to his heart and a whole list of other things. Richard kept hoping there would be something that undid everything that had happened that morning, that there was one measurement that would show what a mistake it had all been. Unfortunately, he was given a clean bill of health. “Alright, no point putting it off any longer.” Brianna said as she patted the changing table a couple of times. Richard swallowed anxiously. He was still doing his best to cover himself up, even though his modesty would count for nothing before long. He watched as Brianna pulled a diaper out. The white rectangle looked so big, but as she unfolded it and laid it out on the changing table it only got bigger. It looked like it would swallow him whole. “Can… Can I go to the bathroom first?” Richard asked. He did kind of need to go, but it was more of an attempt to put off the inevitable than anything else. “Well, I don’t think that will be necessary, do you?” Brianna said with a little chuckle. It struck Richard that he would probably never use the toilet again. It should’ve seemed obvious as soon as he was pronounced Little, but now he thought about before he had left the house that morning, when he had sat on the toilet to do his business. He’d had no idea that would be the last time. His thoughts turned to what it would be like to do what he did on the toilet into the diaper instead and he started to feel light-headed. “Come on, it’s alright.” Brianna walked over. She put one arm around Richard’s lower back and guided him forwards, “Everything will be fine.” “It won’t.” Richard moaned as he stumbled towards the changing table. “Change is always scary for Littles but you’ll be used to it in no time.” Brianna continued, “I remember when Jimmy, my son, was designated Little. It took a bit of a time but he’s perfectly happy now.” “Y-Your son?” Richard asked. He sat on the edge of the table and Brianna lifted his legs causing him to lay back. “Yes, he’s been Little for… Goodness, must be ten years now.” Brianna said. “What does he do?” Richard asked. He was hoping to hear of some loophole, to find out that Jimmy was living a relatively normal life despite everything. “Watches his cartoons and plays with his toys mainly.” Brianna said fondly. “That’s it?” Richard asked. “Well, we sometimes go to the park or the toy store…” Brianna continued, “He likes that.” Richard stopped listening. There was no secret to be found. Jimmy had spent the last decade living as a complete baby. Richard thought back to when he was eight-years-old and Jimmy had been designated Little. He tried to imagine all that time in between where Richard was growing up and Jimmy was, essentially, frozen in time. It was not comforting to think that he had that in front of him. To think that Brianna could watch her own son go through that and be a nurse doing the same thing, he wondered just how callous the nurse was. “Now, lift up.” Brianna said as she tapped the side of Richard’s thigh. Richard hesitated. These were, potentially, his last moments without a diaper. As soon as he did as he was told and had the new padding taped on to him, that would be it. He bit his lip, hesitating. “Don’t make me call the guards back in here.” Brianna said quietly, “Trust me, they aren’t as gentle as me.” Richard closed his eyes. He arched his back and lifted his hips from the table. He could feel Brianna’s hands against him and heard a faint crinkle as the diaper was placed underneath his butt. When he received another tap on the side he slowly lowered back down. When he felt the new padding underneath him, he felt his mind go blank. It still felt like an impossible nightmare coming to life. “There we go.” Brianna said cheerfully, “Not so bad, is it?” Richard said nothing. He certainly didn’t tell her that he wanted to jump off the table and run off to never be found, that the padding felt like an irritant against his skin. He kept his eyes closed, just trying to delay the inevitable for even a few more seconds. “You’re going to need to move those.” Brianna said as she tapped Richard’s hands, “Trust me, you haven’t got anything I haven’t seen before.” Richard whimpered audibly as he moved his hands away from his privates. It all still felt too much like a nightmare to be real, and he wasn’t helped by the feeling of the cottony interior of the diaper coming up and over his crotch. The tapes were like four locks, each one designed to keep him away from adulthood. He covered his face with his hands and wept. “All done.” Brianna said as she went over to the sink and washed her hands. “W-What happens now?” Richard said through his tears. “Well, I think your Mommy and Daddy are going to be signing some documents for a while.” Brianna said, “So we’ll take you to the holding pen until either they collect you or put you up for adult adoption.” “Adoption!?” Richard quickly sat up and immediately regretted it. The diaper crinkled loudly underneath him. He looked down to see it puffing up with air trapped inside. “If they decide they don’t want to look after you.” Brianna stated simply, “It can be terribly taxing looking after a Little.” Richard was aghast. He didn’t think his parents would just abandon him, but could he be certain? Did any parents want to have to start looking after a baby again? He felt fresh concern as he thought about the prospect of being sent to live with strangers for the rest of his life. --- If you liked this update and want to see the next update RIGHT NOW you can do so here: https://reamstories.com/page/lpjgftb4y2/story/mozb40hx8a1381/chapter/mq3j38xz59dc2a4 https://subscribestar.adult/posts/2529848

My envy of Nicole’s writing wasn’t helped by Zoe constantly making a big deal out of how good it was on the way back to the room. I slouched alongside them trying to feel happy for my friend but secretly asking myself why I was incapable of doing the same thing. “Have you seen this?” Zoe said as she held the paper out towards me. “Yes.” I replied unenthusiastically. “It’s not THAT good.” Nicole replied. I wondered if she knew that her self-effacing words only made me more annoyed. “It really is!” Zoe said, “You can make out all the letters and everything!” I was grateful when we reached our classroom. We were supposed to have our pacifiers in our mouths when we walked in which meant Zoe wouldn’t be able to continue gushing about Nicole’s achievements. The familiar latex taste invaded my tongue as I walked through the door into the room. “Come on, girls.” Mr. Smith said as he held the door open, “We have a busy afternoon ahead of us.” I thought about sarcastically asking if we were going to be studying history or doing some complex math, but I decided I didn’t need to start the afternoon with a spanking. I wasn’t kept in suspense for long anyway. The kitchen area had ingredients set up and small portable ovens with cooking hobs were set up around the room. “This afternoon you’ll be learning something very important for all of you to know.” Mr. Smith said solemnly, “How to bake your man a delicious cake.” I rolled my eyes. But didn’t say anything. One benefit of the pacifiers intended to keep us all quiet was that I could let my frustrations out by angrily chewing on the mouth-filling bulb. We were all gathered around the teacher’s table. Mr. Smith wasn’t exactly certain of what he was doing, he was a man after all, it wasn’t like he had a lot of experience cooking. He followed the instructions of a book as he showed up what to do. I felt quite sure that most of the girls around me would be able to bake a better cake already, most were taught this stuff at home. “Off you go.” Mr. Smith said as he placed his rather untidy looking effort into the oven, “Work in pairs.” It was always awkward having a group of three friends and having to work in pairs. One of would have to be left out. Fortunately, Nicole suggested we work together which meant it was Zoe who had to find a partner. Since she was the most outgoing of us it made sense. For the next few minutes, we started the first steps of baking a cake. Nicole looked rather uncomfortable. After I had tried to crack an egg three times and had only ended up making a mess of the table, she reached over and did it for me. “I’m sorry.” Nicole said quietly. “What for?” I replied. “The writing and stuff.” Nicole said, “I know you want to-…” “Don’t worry about it.” I quickly said. “But-…” Nicole looked genuinely apologetic. “Dwelling on it isn’t going to make the situation better.” I shrugged. “I’m sure you’ll get it.” Nicole said with a smile. I tried to return the friendly expression, but I wasn’t sure I managed it. To be frank, I didn’t know if I would get any better, certainly not any time soon. I couldn’t even do a lot of the cooking as my hands were just so sluggish and didn’t want to do what my brain told them to do. It wasn’t long into the lesson, perhaps only ten or fifteen minutes, when I felt a sinking feeling in my lower tummy. I closed my eyes and knew what was coming. It seemed a cruel joke that it didn’t happen just a few minutes earlier when I could’ve gone to the nurse without causing a scene. As I watched Nicole stirring the bowl of ingredients in front of us, I bent my knees. A second later my diaper was heavier, sagging with the contents of what had formerly been in my bowels. I closed my eyes and felt disgust roil up inside me. I hated this feeling more than any other. Nothing was more uncomfortable, not to mention how it reminded me of my place as a glorified baby. Nicole was speaking but I didn’t hear what she said. My eyes were watering, and I felt my face turning red. “Emma?” Nicole said. I looked up. She had a friendly smile on her face, a sympathetic one, “I think you should see Mr. Smith.” I just nodded as a tear leaked down my cheeks. I was trying to maintain my dignity by not bursting into tears, but it was difficult, it felt like there was a stone in my throat. I put down the instructions that I’d been holding, about the only thing I could do to help was read them, and waddled towards Mr. Smith who was sitting at his desk looking bored. “I… I…” I was finding it hard to get the words. After a couple of false starts they rushed out just as quick as my accident had done, “I need to see the nurse.” I could see Mr. Smith’s face twist in disgust as I drew near. He was taking a permission slip from the pile and filling it out before I’d even opened my mouth. It was handed to me in silence, and I went back to grab my backpack. Whilst the school did provide diapers they weren’t as good as the ones my parents bought so they often packed some for me. Usually I didn’t bother using them, a diaper is a diaper to me, none are better than any other and they all represented failure and weakness, however going home in a school diaper risked a spanking for “wasting school resources.” “See you in a bit.” Nicole said. I didn’t respond. I waddled awkwardly to the door trying to keep my skin from touching the mess in my diaper. I kept my head bowed. I felt like everyone in the room was judging me even though they all did the same thing every day. I was supposed to better than them, more grown up. Once out in the quiet hallway I felt a little relief at being away from prying eyes. I let the pacifier that had been in my mouth the whole lesson drop and dangle from the front of my childish outfit. Starting down the corridor I heard snippets of lessons happening in other rooms. A few were kindergarten classes for other grades of girls but the others, they were altogether more interesting. I couldn’t linger right at the door because of the windows but I stopped just to the side of one door and listened intently. Inside, it seemed to be a biology lesson, discussing cells. I felt jealous, how I wished I could be in there learning how the world worked. I moved down the corridor to the next door and stopped. It was a history lesson, and I could hear them discussing a civil war. I never lingered outside a classroom for long, as soon I was in one place for enough time that the air around me became contaminated I moved on. I was just about to walk away from a class that was teaching English when I heard a voice shouting. “Hey!” I froze in place and turned to see a young man, probably several grades below me, hurrying over. The sash going diagonally across his chest marked him out as a hall monitor, “What are you doing out of class?” “I need to see the nurse.” I replied quietly. He didn’t need me to speak. When he drew close, I saw his face twist with disgust at the smell. Every single movement was spreading the mess in my diaper, and I was desperate to get changed. “Do you have a pass?” He asked. His mouth twisting into a sneer, a mixture of enjoying his power over me and disgust. I quickly held out the slip of paper I had been given. The jobsworth hall monitor took it from me and examined every detail, clearly he was just looking for a way to punish me. After being left disappointed he handed the slip back to me. “Get a move on.” The boy said, “No hanging around.” I turned away but before I had a chance to take a step I felt his hand slap into the back of my diaper. Inside I could feel the mess I had been desperately trying to keep away from my skin spread all over me. I froze in place and cringed as he chuckled to himself and sauntered away. I wanted to go after him. I wanted to grab him and demand an apology. Better yet, I wanted to grab him and shove him against the lockers. I felt so angry and seethed with a need for revenge. I closed my eyes and let out a deep breath that shook with the sobs that were fighting to get out. There was nothing I could do. If I so much as looked at the boy, the wrong way it would be me getting in trouble. It was almost worth it though. With fresh tears springing to my eyes, I waddled at almost running speed down the hallway away from the asshole with the sash. I turned a corner as I looked back to make sure the monitor was gone and immediately ran into something hard that knocked me backwards. I stumbled as I struggled to stay upright, and my bag fell from my shoulders as I went down. I knew what was coming but was powerless to stop it. I landed on the hand floor in a sitting position making the mess in my diaper a hundred times worse. It was so gross. Tears threatened to stream down my face as I fought to hold back my emotions. More than embarrassment or sadness, I was angry. Furious that my poopy diaper, something I loathed to begin with, had become so much more horrid. Regardless of the chance for punishment I had to vent my spleen. “Why don’t you watch where you’re go-…” The words died in my throat as I opened my eyes. Standing over me, looking slightly surprised but otherwise untouched by our collision, was Jacob. Of all the people in the school to run into I couldn’t believe it was him. I found that I no longer could finish my sentence. “I’m so sorry, let me help you up.” Jacob said as he reached down. Still angry I batted his hands away and rolled over. As I pushed myself up, I realised that I was sticking my heavily soiled rear in the air showing off a diaper that was both sticking uncomfortably to my skin and clearly full. I winced and didn’t dare turn around. I felt so ashamed of letting Jacob see me in this state, I wanted to tell him I was better than this, that I could “grow up” and be independent despite it all. But why did I want to say that? Jacob was just some dumb guy. Sure, he was attractive, but he was still a man. He was still someone with power over me simply because of the body he was born with. Why should I explain myself or care what he thought of me? It was probably better if he thought I was disgusting, maybe then he’d leave me alone. “Emma, wasn’t it?” Jacob said, making no comment of my obviously stinky underwear. The smell was impossible not to notice, I was surprised he hadn’t left me in the hall. “Yes.” I replied shortly. I didn’t turn around. I didn’t want him to see my blushing face. “Sorry, I must not have seen you.” Jacob said, “Here, let me help you with your bag.” I looked down to the side where my backpack had fallen open, some items had slipped out of it and I closed my eyes again, cursing my never-ending bad luck. The top of the diaper I was to be changed into was visible, though that shouldn’t have surprised him, along with some pens, pencils, and a book. “To Kill a Mockingbird?” Jacob said with surprise as he handed me my bag and looked at the book. “And?” I asked with hostility borne at least partly for my feelings for all men. “I’m just surprised.” Jacob smiled. I saw those rows of perfect teeth. They were just making me angrier. “Believe it or not, I can read.” I snatched the book and put it back in my bag. “I have no doubt of that.” Jacob said, “You seem like a smart woman.” Now THAT made me pause. I could probably count the number of times I’d been called a woman rather than a girl on one hand. I could feel myself flushing again but shook it off, it was just an empty compliment, the sort of thing a man said when they wanted something. I shoved the book into my bag and zipped it up. I shrugged, trying to appear as uncaring as possible as I slipped the bag back on to my back. “Then why are you surprised?” I asked. I tried to act like I wasn’t particularly interested in the answer. “Well, I know you aren’t reading it in class. I just thought it might be a little dry for reading in your leisure time at school.” Jacob said with a shrug, “I thought you might read something a little more action packed like, I don’t know, The Hunger Games?” I let out a snort of laughter as if to say he was completely wrong. I didn’t tell him that I had the entire series of The Hunger Games on my shelf in my room and that I often read through the whole series. “Yeah, well…” I didn’t know what to say and fell silent. “Let me accompany you to the nurse’s office.” Jacob said, “To make up for knocking you over.” This guy was annoying me. Why did he have to seem so nice and reasonable on top of being handsome? I really didn’t need walking to the nurse’s room, having visited it multiple times a day for years I could probably find it with my eyes closed, but I wasn’t saying no. I didn’t know for sure WHY I wasn’t saying no, but I wasn’t. I slung my bag over my back and shrugged. “If you want, I guess.” I said with indifference as I started walking. After a couple of steps Jacob drew level with me. I looked away as he walked me down the corridor to the rear of the building. I felt very self-conscious of the way I was walking but a normal gait was impossible with the thick padding and what it contained. I was surprised Jacob hadn’t made a comment about the stink because I could smell it, and if I could he certainly could to. “Shouldn’t you be in class?” I asked just to end the silence which had felt oppressive. “I got a pass to use the bathroom.” Jacob said as he pulled some paper out of his pocket. “Lucky you…” I muttered with envy. We reached the door to the outside and I stepped through it ahead of Jacob. I had thought he was going to turn around, but he continued outside. I knew the pass gave him permission to be out of class, but I had to think he would be missed after a little while. Perhaps the boys were just given more leeway than us girls. It wouldn’t have surprised me. He certainly seemed in no particular rushed. “So, Prom’s a big deal around here, huh?” Jacob said as we approached the nurse’s offices. Here we go. I should’ve known there was an ulterior motive. I’d already shot him down at lunch but now he was coming on to me again. I couldn’t deny that I found him less awful than most of the men at the school, but he was still a man, probably playing a role to trick me into thinking he wasn’t a complete asshole. I wasn’t about to surrender myself to any guy no matter how much I was pestered. “It is.” I replied stiffly. I waited for the question which was sure to follow. I waited for Jacob to ask me out, get shot down, and then walk away. He may have been playing nice, but I was sure it was only to lower my guard. I’d spent eighteen years around guys, and I knew they were never nice without a reason. Jacob remained silent as we reached the cabin that held the nurses. I closed my eyes and braced myself for turning him down again. “Well, I’ll see you around.” Jacob said, “Sorry again for walking into you.” My mouth was already open and ready to reject him when I heard Jacob turn around and start walking away. I frowned and turned myself to watch Jacob walking away. I was confused. He didn’t look back as he went back through the door into the school. I stood in stunned silence for half a minute until the door to the cabin opened and a nurse came walking out. “Everything alright?” The nurse asked as he walked past me with a frown. “Yes… sorry.” I replied as I was brought back to reality. Still surprised that I had been wrong about Jacob and that he, apparently, had escorted me as a selfless act I walked into the cabin. I went to the first nurse who was sitting at his computer and climbed straight up on to the changing table. I didn’t envy him. My diaper was a disaster area. --- If you want to see what happens next RIGHT NOW you can do so at one of the following links.

Richard walked through the door he had been directed to with butterflies in his tummy. Zoe followed him in and closed the door behind her. “I hope you haven’t had to wait long.” Zoe said with a smile as she indicated a chair in front of her desk for Richard to sit in, “This is always a busy time of year for us. We get a lot of August babies leaving it to the last minute.” “It wasn’t too bad.” Richard replied. “Good.” Zoe logged on to her computer, “Right, there’s some things I need to fill in. Whilst I’m doing that there is a test I would like you to fill out. Multiple choice, no big deal.” A collection of a dozen pieces of paper was slid in front of Richard, stapled together. He looked from the paper to Zoe and back down again. “No big deal”, she had said. Richard knew enough to think there was nothing done in these offices that wasn’t a big deal. He picked up a pen and started looking through the questions whilst Zoe continued to type. The test was bizarre. The questions were all over the place. One second Richard would be answering a simple math question like “Steve had seven apples and ate two, how many apples does Steve have left?” and then the next question would have him searching his morals, “A trolley is coming down the track, you can do nothing and let it run over five innocent people or pull the lever and make it run over one innocent person…” “Still going?” Zoe asked a few seconds after she seemingly finished typing. “Should I be done already?” Richard asked. “You don’t need to second-guess everything.” Zoe chuckled, “There’s no time limit.” Richard subtly felt the pressure being applied to him. He wondered if it was intentional. Was he really being slow? Or was Zoe deliberately making him feel slow to see how he reacted? He took a deep breath and forced the paranoid tension out of his body. These people were bureaucrats, not psychologists. “I think I’m done.” Richard said a couple of minutes later after ticking a couple more boxes. “Are you sure?” Zoe asked. Her eyebrows were raised. “I… think so?” Richard replied. His answer sounded more like a question. “Want to double check anything?” Zoe continued. Richard was starting to doubt his earlier musings. Maybe Zoe was a psychologist after all, she was certainly making him hesitate before he shook his head and pushed the paper back across the desk. Zoe picked it up and started leafing through it. Richard had assumed she would scan the results into the computer or something, instead she glanced through once and then placed it on the desk. She looked up at Richard and didn’t say anything. “How did I do?” Richard asked. He was trying to maintain an air of confidence. He hoped the desk hid how much his legs were shaking. “How do you think you did?” Zoe asked. She leaned on her desk, her elbows on the flat surface and her chin cupped in her hands. “I don’t know.” Richard shrugged his shoulders, “Average?” “Hmm.” Zoe made an interested sound and returned to the computer where she inputted more data. Richard could feel himself starting to sweat. He had first thought he would be in and out in no time, then that talking to Zoe would be a formality… but now he was panicking. He could clearly see that he should’ve been worried all along. His mind turned to running away. He imagined leaping out of the chair, wrenching the door open and sprinting towards the big double doors. If her was lucky, maybe he would catch the guards unaware, get a bit of a head start… but then what? “You’re looking a little pale.” Zoe commented. She was still typing but her eyes kept darting over to Richard, “Are you feeling unwell?” “A little…” Richard’s stomach churned. He desperately wanted to know what Zoe was typing, “So… you’re some kind of therapist or something?” “Or something.” Zoe replied, her answer giving little away. “L-Look… C-Can we be upfront with each other?” Richard asked a little desperately. “About what?” Zoe turned away from the computer. “It’s just… I think that maybe I haven’t given the best account of myself.” Richard tried to smile, it didn’t work, “And, I think, maybe if you gave me the test again I could do better.” “Hmm.” Zoe made the same interested sound again as she went back to the PC and typed out some more sentences, “You think you could do better?” Richard swallowed. He felt like he had just made things worse. Maybe he shouldn’t have drawn attention to it, maybe the whole thing was a test and stressing over it was failing. His hands were shaking now as he gripped the arms of his chair hard. When he didn’t answer her, Zoe went back to rapidly typing. “Well, I think we have everything we need.” Zoe said, “Unless you’ve got anything to add?” Richard stared forwards dumbly. He felt like he SHOULD have something to say. He should be pleading his case forcefully, proving his masculinity and maturity. He couldn’t think of anything. His mind was blank and after a few seconds he just shook his head. As Zoe reached into a drawer and pulled out some forms, he started praying to be designated Big. “Well, Richard, we’ve looked at your whole past.” Zoe started, “Your grades at school were average, though your attendance was in the lowest fifteen percent. There’s very little in terms of extra-curriculars and those we have asked about you have made comments suggesting a certain… immaturity.” “You’ve asked people about me?” Richard interrupted. “We are thorough.” Zoe replied, “We don’t want to make a mistake with the rest of your life after all. We have asked teachers and community leaders, people who know you but maintain some objectivity.” Richard watched as his name was filled out on the certificate in front of Zoe. She wrote in the date and time, then she moved across to the box showing designation, the one where the big stamp went. On the corner of the desk was a green stamp, like the one Richard had seen used on the other young man’s certificate, and next to it, a red stamp. Zoe’s hand started to move over to them. Richard watched with wide eyes and a dry mouth. The young woman’s fingers brushed against the green stamp that would’ve meant Big, instead her fingers clasped the red stamp. Richard’s heart and stomach dropped simultaneously. It was like a nightmare was unfolding in front of him in slow motion. “Wait!” Richard exclaimed, “L-Look, I know you have a bad impression of me. M-Maybe I haven’t tried hard enough up until now but…” “Richard, I’m sorry, but…” Zoe lifted the stamp. Richard could see the red ink on the mould which read “Little.” His lip trembled, “We don’t make mistakes.” “No! Please! I can’t be a Little!” Richard begged, “I’ll… I’ll give you money! I’ll do whatever you want! PLEASE!” “Richard, do you know that trying to bribe a government official is a crime?” Zoe asked, “I’m willing to overlook it, I’m sure this is a shock, but you’ll get used to it.” “I… I…” Richard wrapped his arms around his midsection. It had to be a sick joke. The stamp came down on the certificate. Zoe pressed it down, making sure the word “Little” would be permanently affixed to it. As the stamp came away, it took with it all of Richard’s adulthood. He could only stare as the ink quickly started to dry. He thought about running again, but as if his mind was being read, Zoe picked up the phone on her desk and called for security. “It’s just procedure.” Zoe said as she replaced the phone, “To escort you to the next phase.” “I’m… not a Little.” Richard said weakly. “As of about ten seconds ago, yes, you are.” Zoe replied, “I know it gets a bad rap, but it’s not so bad. You will be well looked after and you won’t have to worry about things like money, relationships, jobs…” “I WANT to worry about those things!” Richard suddenly said. “It has been decided that you won’t have to.” Zoe replied. She was smiling again, but it was the sort of indulgent smile you aim at a child telling you about their day, “I’ll level with you, baby. Once you came in here, the chances of you being a Big were almost nil. You had some very bad scores. You would’ve had to ace the test, and even then…” “Can I appeal?” Richard already knew the answer as the crush weight of what was coming started to fall on his shoulders, “Speak to a supervisor or something?” “It doesn’t work like that I’m afraid.” Zoe said. The door to the office opened and two men in security uniforms walked in. They moved across and stood either side of Richard’s chair. He looked up at them, one stared resolutely ahead whilst the other had a sympathetic expression. Richard’s brain had seemingly emptied. He didn’t know how to react, he didn’t know what to think. All his plans and thoughts about the future had just gone up in smoke right in front of him. It didn’t seem real that he was losing his adulthood, had already lost it, from the moment the ink hit the certificate. He thought about all the other people in the lobby who would now be walking away with their adulthood intact, just another day, off to call friends and hang out. Richard thought about his own friends and how humiliated he would feel if any of them knew what had just happened. “Richard, we know this can be a stressful time.” Zoe said. Her smile was sympathetic, and her voice was soft, “These are some big changes that are about to hit you. That’s why these gentlemen will escort you to the next part of the process.” “Can I…” Richard started another forlorn desperate attempt for a reprieve. “No, baby.” Zoe replied, “There is one thing you can help me with though. Did you come here with anyone?” “My parents.” Richard’s voice cracked as he said it. His eyes teared up as he imagined what they would think when they heard the news. “We can’t let you leave here without legal guardians. This is likely the last serious choice you will have to make.” Zoe said the second sentence as if it was a good thing, “Would you like to be placed under the care of your parents? Or would you prefer to be put up for adult adoption?” What a choice! Richard blinked and felt fat tears rolling down his cheeks. He wanted a third option, one that meant he didn’t have to spend the rest of his life as a baby! Richard took a deep shaky breath. He hadn’t given any thought to what he would want. He didn’t think ANYONE would spend time asking themselves where they wanted to be a baby, at home or somewhere else. Richard started thinking about what was going to happen. He had seen TV shows of Littles. He’d seen the nurseries, the toys, the… diapers. He felt himself starting to get angry. This was unfair. He had never agreed with the whole designation process at all. His sister had spent years telling him what a farce it all was! He hadn’t really paid much attention but now it was the only thing that mattered at all. Why should he have to make such a decision when he was perfectly capable of being an adult? “No.” Richard stated. He tried to inject as much authority into his voice as he could manage, “You can’t do this to me!” Richard tried to get up and out of his seat. Two hands immediately clapped him on the shoulder and pushed him back down against the chair. His hands balled up uselessly. He was tiny compared to the two behemoths standing next to him. In his impotent rage he stamped his feet against the floor and let out a scream that he felt must’ve been heard all the way back in the lobby. “Calm down, son.” The older of the security guards said, “You don’t want to cause trouble.” Trouble was exactly what Richard wanted to cause. He acted as if he was calming down, just enough to get the security to lower their guard. Then he lunged forwards at the desk. He didn’t really know what he wanted to do, he wouldn’t hit a woman, but his frustration and fury couldn’t be contained. He aimed to hit the computer, the avatar of the algorithm that had just condemned him. His arm barely started to swing forwards before it was grabbed by a large hand. --- If you liked this update and want to see the next update RIGHT NOW you can do so here: https://reamstories.com/page/lpjgftb4y2/story/mozb40hx8a1381/chapter/mpsy9vm1a1813a3 https://subscribestar.adult/posts/2517454

I looked down at the paper and suddenly my sandwich felt a little harder to swallow. Nicole’s penmanship looked very competent. I marvelled at how her fingers and hand made small movements as she scrawled the words on the page. The letters were a little irregular and shaky, but she was doing it. All the girls my age could read, we were taught that just a little later than the boys, but writing was a different matter since that required coordination we just didn’t have. I had spent a lot of time trying but I could never make my scribblings intelligible. “It looks great…” I said unenthusiastically. My jealousy was impossible to hide. It seemed so unfair that Nicole was seemingly effortlessly able to do all the things I wished I could. As I got my lunch out of my bag I tried to ignore the fact that Liam was staring at me. He was none too subtle about his attraction to me which was annoying because I was doing my best to show that it wasn’t something I reciprocated. He didn’t seem to get the message. “Hi Emma.” Liam said with much more enthusiasm than he had shown talking to Zoe. It was like he’d hit “restart at last checkpoint” in a video game and decided to try having a conversation with me again, “You look great today!” “Thanks…” I replied without looking up from my sandwich. “That dress really suits you.” Liam continued, “It really complements your eyes.” I snorted. My dress was ridiculously infantile. I didn’t bother responding to Liam’s clumsy compliments. I didn’t want to encourage him or make him think that he was getting anywhere with me. Whereas most random guys heard a “no” and moved on to the next girl they saw, Liam seemed besotted with me. It was very annoying. “Does this “B” look good to you?” Nicole asked as she pointed at one of the letters on the paper, “I think the top part is too small.” “It’s perfect.” I had to admit with barely contained jealousy. “What about my dress?” Zoe asked Liam with a wide smile, “Does it compliment me as well?” “Yeah, I guess…” Liam shrugged. He had barely even glanced at her, but Zoe still giggled as if the compliment had been sincere. I was just thinking of getting up and leaving the cafeteria, since everyone was annoying me, when I looked up and saw the new guy, Jacob, coming in. Suddenly I didn’t feel so keen on leaving. I was going red in the face, and I hated that my body and mind were betraying me like this. I couldn’t have a crush; it went completely against my plans to grow up as soon as possible. As I ate another bite of my sandwich, I glanced up from the corner of my eyes to see Jacob was walking over. “Crap…” I muttered. “Jacob, how are you doing?” Liam said as Jacob reached the table, “You find all your classes OK?” “Just about.” Jacob replied with a laugh, “Though I think I nearly enrolled with the girls at one point.” I heard Zoe and Nicole either side of me laugh. I felt a strange flare up of emotion, as if I wanted to tell my friends to back off. But that wouldn’t be right. It wasn’t like I wanted Jacob at all. No, I needed to focus on improving my coordination so I could get out of these stupid girl’s classes, get out of diapers, and have a career. It didn’t matter that I was seemingly behind other girls in the class who weren’t even trying, I was due a spurt of development... Any time now. That’s what I told myself at least. I tried to act casually as Jacob talked to Liam but was finding it difficult. I was hyper-aware of every little movement I made, and suddenly nothing seemed natural, I felt like people were staring at me. I didn’t know what was wrong with me. “Hello.” Zoe said to Jacob. It felt like she was betraying me, “I’m Zoe, this is Emma and that is Nicole. It’s nice to meet you.” I briefly glanced up when Zoe said my name. I noticed that even as Zoe introduced herself and Nicole, Liam’s attention remained on me. I quickly looked away. “So, I heard about a dance coming up?” Jacob said. “Oh, yes, the Prom!” Zoe nodded her head. She looked pointedly at Liam, “It’s very important.” “It is?” Jacob replied. Why was it that every word he said seemed to penetrate the walls I otherwise surrounded myself with? “Of course!” Zoe said, “It’s the last chance for us girls to find a man before school ends. It’s one of the best days of a girl’s life!” I rolled my eyes. If a stupid high school dance was one of the best days of a girl’s life, then I simply didn’t want to be a girl. To be fair to my friend, I would agree it was an important day, but I would do so from a very different perspective. Rather than seeing it as a chance to find a man I saw it as a door slamming closed. It was a deadline. I had to be out of the girl’s classes by Prom, which happened at the end of the school year, or I had failed. I felt a lurch in my stomach as I imagined such a future. “I see.” Jacob said. He nodded his head sagely. I was sure he was already perfectly aware of all this, “And all you girls have dates?” We shook our heads. I immediately regretted it. Why was I joining in with this farce? Why was I listening to all this nonsense? I had an urge to get up and run away. I could see that both Liam and Jacob were looking at me in particular. I was starting to feel like the last piece of meat at the barbeque being eyed up by two hungry dogs. “Well, that won’t do.” Liam said with a big smile, “Maybe we can help these lovely ladies out. What do you think?” I could see that Liam was looking at Jacob with a big smile. I wanted to slap it right off his face. Jacob, for his part, seemed to be resisting the urge I was sure all men had to treat us girls as pathetic dependents. He wouldn’t fool me though; I’d seen more than enough other guys trying to pull the same trick in the name of getting a date. “How about it, Emma?” Jacob said, “Do you want to go to the Prom with me? It doesn’t have to be anything serious. Just a bit of fun.” I looked up at Jacob’s perfect face and couldn’t believe what I was hearing. I saw his perfectly even smile full of gleaming white teeth, the slight stubble on the lower half of his face which seemed to emphasise his masculine features and the way he stood with confidence. A confidence that had allowed him to ask someone he’d never even met to go to the most important dance of the year. I cursed myself for even showing the slightest bit of interest. He was just like all the others. “No.” I replied. I didn’t even give him the courtesy of a polite “thank you”. Hopefully it would be enough to get him to go away so he would stop distracting me from what I really needed to do. “I’m free.” Zoe quickly said as she looked at the two boys. I didn’t think her desperation was very becoming. I turned to look at Nicole’s writing again. She seemed to be so hyper-fixated on getting her letters right that she had missed the whole discussion taking place right next to her. I envied both her coordination and focus. I was just waiting on Jacob to pounce on Emma next. I’d rejected him and that meant his interest in me was over. I knew from prior experience that, once rejected, a guy would go on to the next girl until he caught one in his net. With Zoe declaring her interest I almost felt like Liam and Jacob would start bidding on her as if she were a precious item up for auction. “I’ll see you all later.” Jacob said, “It was nice meeting you.” “Wait up.” Liam called out, “I need to talk to you about that homework we got earlier.” I was surprised. Jacob hadn’t taken Zoe’s bait, she had practically been undressing him in front of him, but he simply walked away. He had asked me, and only me, for a date. He couldn’t have been genuinely interested in me. That was a preposterous thought. I deliberately made myself as stand-offish as possible to avoid men’s attention, not that it worked judging by the number of guys that had asked me out. “Are you crazy?” Zoe asked me as soon as the men had departed, “Why’d you turn him down!?” “You know I’m not interested in any of that.” I replied, “Besides, I don’t even know him.” “Know him? You saw how hot he is, right?” Zoe shook her head in disbelief, “What else do you need to know?” Zoe sighed next to me. Despite how I thought she should aim to do better than just being a wife I had to feel bad for her. She was my friend, and I knew that finding a man meant a lot to her. Her interest in Liam couldn’t be clearer if she jumped into his lap and yet I think we all noticed how Liam’s eyes usually fell on me. It was another reason I envied Nicole; she somehow seemed to avoid a lot of the unwanted attention that I got, it was like a magic power, she could just blend into the background. As I watched Jacob and Liam leaving the cafeteria I felt a flood of warmth in my diaper. I sighed; I never got to enjoy a fully dry disposable for long. The most worrying part for me was how it had come out of nowhere. I had read books on potty training, and I had tried all the techniques I could find but nothing seemed to help. The only result of my efforts was a spanking from Dad a year ago when he found out what I was doing. “Your potty training is your future husband’s business!” Dad had said sternly, “Not yours!” It was ridiculous. I carried on trying different things afterwards but with the best will in the world I couldn’t seem to delay soaking my diaper for even a few seconds. I was as un-potty trained as the day I was born. --- If you want to see what happens next RIGHT NOW you can do so at one of the following links.

Thank you ❤️ https://reamstories.com/elfy https://subscribestar.adult/elfy --- “Next!” The woman who had just helped the young man, now sitting at the far wall and talking to another stranger, looked up and smiled Richard’s way. “Hi.” Richard said with what he hoped was a friendly smile. “Name please.” The woman replied. Richard didn’t take offence, she was clearly very busy and needed to be as efficient as possible. “Richard Divey” Richard said. The young woman started tapping on the keyboard. Richard was hoping for that same smile that greeted the last person she had seen, but it wasn’t forthcoming. Instead of waving him off to the side, she kept typing, frowning a little, and then typing some more. The longer she remained silent the more anxious Richard was becoming. Richard was about to ask if everything was alright when a door at the side of the lobby slammed open. There were shouts and exclamations, the sounds of feet dragging on the floor and a struggle as two burly men appeared, pulling a smaller man into the lobby. The room fell into a hushed silence as it seemed everyone turned to look. “Get off me! No! There’s been a mistake!” The man was being practically wrestled into the lobby. Richard finally got a good look at him through the crowd and gasped. The young man was thickly diapered with nothing but an infantile red shirt covering his upper half. He was still swearing and lashing out as the doors opened again and a man and woman walked out. The woman was dabbing at her eyes with a tissue whilst the husband had an arm around her waist looking very stoic. “Mom! You know this isn’t right!” The young man yelled. “I… Baby…” The mother didn’t seem to know what to say and fell into more sobbing. The man and his parents were soon dragged out of the lobby and to the front door. Richard heard him pleading and begging for a second chance all the way until the door closed. He swallowed and turned to face forwards again. “Apologies for that.” The woman at the computer said, “As I’m sure you can understand, some people are less than pleased about their designation.” “Yeah…” Richard was shaken. He just wanted to get his Big designation and leave. He didn’t even want to stick around for the certificate, they could mail it to him. “One moment, please.” The woman said as she picked up a phone and pressed a few numbers. “Is there a problem?” Richard asked. The confidence he had walked in with had eked away the longer he remained in the building. “Yes, I’ve got a Divey here. Richard Divey… Yeah, just asking about the numbers on his file because… Uh huh… Yeah…” The woman was talking on the phone and clicking around the screen occasionally, “And they’ve been double checked?” Richard tried to ignore the anxiety that was twisting at his guts. She might’ve needed to clarify the numbers for any reason, he tried to convince himself, maybe they’re surprisingly good or something… “OK, thank you.” The woman put the phone down and turned to face the computer again. She typed a few things and Richard waited, “Alright, Richard, could you go and sit over there please.” Richard turned to see where the woman was pointing. It was the opposite direction to the young man who had been given the easy pass. The area the woman pointed to was where most of the young men and women were ending up, sitting and waiting to be called forwards through the doors beyond. “I… haven’t failed, have I?” Richard asked. A lump forming in his throat. “There is no passing or failing.” The woman’s professional smile was back, “Please, take a seat and you’ll be called in shortly.” “It’s ju-…” Richard started. “Next!” The woman called out. Richard backed away from the desk. He looked over to where the young man had been sat, he was already gone. Turning to face forwards, Richard took a deep breath and walked over to the bigger waiting area. There were a dozen people already sitting in the area that was screened from most of the lobby by cubicle dividers. Richard walked to an empty seat and sat down opposite a large television. He felt a little more at ease when he saw how many people there were, and how many of them weren’t too concerned. This was the usual process, not many people were designated Big or Little right away, most had to have at least a little testing and checking. At least he hoped that was the case. “Quite a scene, huh?” A woman said to Richard. She jerked her head back to where the Little had just been dragged out of the building. “Yeah…” Richard replied. He gave the woman his name. “Sandy.” The woman replied, “Well, at least it gives us a better chance, right?” “Does it?” Richard asked. “Yeah.” Sandy replied. She put her feet up on a table that had a pile of magazines on it, “Not many are made Little…” “Two percent, I think.” Richard muttered. “Exactly.” Sandy stretched out and yawned, “So they should see fifty of us before there’s another one.” Richard knew that odds didn’t work like that. However, it was a comforting thing to believe so he let himself fall into the comforting grasp of math that didn’t really make sense. He pulled out his phone and sent a text to his parents saying that he might be a little while. They had to tell Kate, Richard’s fifteen-year-old sister, what was going on. After the text was sent, Richard continued talking to Sandy for a little bit, he learnt that they shared the exact same birthday. “Sandy Freeman.” A bearded man had opened the door and called at the name. “That’s me.” Sandy said as she stood up. She looked down at Richard, “Good luck.” “You too.” Richard replied. Another person offering him luck… With nothing else to distract him, Richard turned to the television which seemed to be playing a dull informational video about what was going on. It had just looped to the start and a man in a suit, standing in front of a blue background was smiling at the camera. A graphic popped up showing his name to be Frederick Kline, apparently the Minister responsible for Designation. “Hello, I hope you are having a good day and an enjoyable experience in the Designation Office.” Frederick said. Richard scoffed, “This department has existed for over twenty years now and has resulted in the reduction of unemployment, a reduction in wastage and, most importantly, a reduction in crime.” Richard sat back in his chair and folded his arms across his chest. These were the same justifications he had heard many times before, he knew there were opponents of the system that disagreed, but he didn’t care about politics. Any time someone started discussing anything vaguely political his eyes would glaze over. They started doing it right there in the waiting room, but he stared at the screen regardless, it wasn’t like he had much else to do. “When the government of the time published the Case Review, named after the Review’s organiser, Hattie Case, it sent shockwaves through society. It showed that certain behaviours could be predicted by looking at things such as grades and childhood behaviour. Furthermore, it suggested that some people benefitted from a reduction in responsibilities to make them happier, and their community safer.” If there was one thing Richard was aware of, it was that the Case Review wasn’t necessarily all it was cracked up to be. He knew the government relied on it and referenced it often, but he also knew that people had long held that the Review was flawed or biased. He didn’t know the reasons for the arguments though. “The government decided that radical action was required. After much debate, the Designation Department was opened up as a new office of state. It was charged with making society safer, a job it has taken very seriously ever since it’s formation. Thus, we have developed tests that can decide where best to categorise everyone when they reach the age of eighteen.” Frederick’s smile was strangely unnatural in the way that all politicians looked like they had to be taught how to do it as an adult, “If you are watching this, chances are you are currently in a Designation Office and soon to find your own place in our society, either as a Little or a Big.” Another man, with grey hair and bushy eyebrows, opened the door and called another person through to an office. Richard watched him go and wondered if the same thoughts that were occupying him was also going through the others’ heads. “It is important to remember that whether Big or Little, you are still considered an equal citizen. There is no…” Frederick paused, apparently looking for the right words, “Wrong way to be. Being designated a Little shouldn’t be viewed as a failure or bad thing, the same way that being designated a Big isn’t a success. It is simply who you were meant to be…” Richard’s mouth twisted in a small wry smile. He looked around and saw some of the others having similar reactions to the last piece of information. Richard shook his head and stopped paying attention to the TV. Everyone wanted to avoid being designated as a Little like the plague. It was for good reason. Frederick Kline may have said that everyone was still considered “equal”, but it seemed very much like some were more equal than others. Littles were forcibly stripped of their adult responsibilities. They weren’t allowed jobs, or to live on their own. From the moment of their designation, they were no longer considered an adult. Richard had seen documentaries and government produced propaganda showing Littles and it made his skin crawl to think about it. Kept in a permanent state of babyhood for the rest of his life, with no chance at appealing the decision or getting a reprieve. It would surely feel like getting a life sentence in prison. Many of Richard’s friends had spent a lot of time over the previous few years trying to sus out how the system worked to make sure they were safe. The simple fact was that nobody knew exactly what factors were taking into account, what numbers were plugged into the algorithm, or anything else. There were just rumours and suggestions. Their teachers would always stress how important grades would be to your designation, commercials for local sport would talk about how important those activities were to have on record. It felt like as long as Richard could remember he had been hearing people tell him how to get designated as a Big. “Strange…” Richard muttered to himself as he looked up at the ceiling, “How being Little is apparently fine and yet everyone is trying to tell you how to avoid it…” “Richard Divey.” The voice made Richard jump as he quickly stood up. Standing at the door with a clipboard was a young woman who seemed to be only a year or two older than Richard. As he approached, he saw that she had a nametag that said her name was Zoe. She gave him a professional smile and held the door open for him to step through. “Third door on the left, Richard.” Zoe said. --- If you liked this update and want to see the next update RIGHT NOW you can do so here: https://reamstories.com/page/lpjgftb4y2/story/mozb40hx8a1381/chapter/mpjlffindc0b642 https://subscribestar.adult/posts/2506320

Emma has to make a trip to one of the school nurses, then it's off to the canteen with her friends after having to fend off some unwanted interest. --- I'm only able to write as much as I do thanks to the amazing support of my readers.

In a day filled with things I hated to do this was pretty high up the list. The nurse’s office was its own little building outside the rear of the main school near the reception. I went through the door just before the reception desk and immediately cursed under my breath. The queue to see the nurse was already very long, it looked like I’d have to spend half my lunch in line behind all the other girls who had beat me there. It was usually better to try and get to the nurse outside of breaks between classes for that exact react. It wasn’t like I had a choice in the matter though. I needed a change, and this was the only place to get one. As I joined the end of the line I stumbled and almost ended up falling into the girl in front of me. I could’ve blamed the swollen mass of padding between my legs but, in truth, I think it was my lack of coordination making itself known. I’d had more than a few people suggest I should be crawling around for my own safety, most of them weren’t joking. My diaper was soaked but some of the girls were in a worse situation than that. The smell outside the nurse’s room was always miserable. We were outside but the fresh air was no match for a dozen messy young women. I waited impatiently until it was finally my time to go inside. The four nurses looked rushed off their feet. Each was in front of a changing table, three of them were currently occupied but the fourth was waving me over. I didn’t really have a favourite nurse, but Nurse Loondis was the one I was most familiar with. He was male, of course, there were very few women working in the medical field. “Hello, Emma. One or two?” The nurse said as I waddled over. “Just one.” I mumbled. I didn’t really appreciate my diaper’s condition being broadcasted to everyone else in the room. “Hop on up.” Nurse Loondis said. The only thing separating me from the other girls being changed was a thin sheet acting as a wall. People tended not to think too much about the modesty of girls since we are changed by so many people. It’s sometimes assumed we didn’t have modesty at all but, for me at least, I would’ve loved not to flash myself to anyone who happened to look in my direction. My diaper was soon exposed but before Nurse Loondis started changing me, I threw my hands down to cover the front of the padding. He sighed and looked at me doubtfully. “We’re very busy.” Nurse Loondis said, “We don’t really have time to do this.” “Please.” I said. I gave the nurse my best puppy dog eyes. Being seen as a pathetic girl could have its benefits sometimes. “Fine.” Nurse Loondis said, “But you’ll have to be quick.” That was as good as I was going to get. With the nurse supervising me I started pulling at the tapes on the diaper. My pacifier fell out of my mouth as I concentrated but even then my fingers had trouble pinching the tabs. After several attempts I managed to get it right and the wet diaper flopped down between my legs. “Are you sure you can do this?” Nurse Loondis asked. “Yes!” I replied impatiently. The nurse remained doubtful as he handed me some baby wipes. I ended up accidentally dropping them into the wet diaper before using them. He tried to hand me some more of the wipes, but I didn’t close my hand in time, and they fell to the floor. “Alright, we don’t have time for this.” Nurse Loondis said with a sigh. “I can do it!” I complained loudly. “You can try again another day, OK?” Nurse Loondis gave me a patronising smile. I laid flat against the table and pouted. I was endlessly frustrated at myself. It didn’t seem to matter how much I wanted to grow up my body just wouldn’t let me. It was like I was trapped in the body of a baby still. I had so little time left to show that I was mature and able to look after myself before it would be too late. With Nurse Loondis back in control the diaper change was relatively swift. He must’ve done thousands of them on girls like me over the years. He wiped me clean and slipped a fresh diaper underneath me. “So, any plans for the Prom?” Nurse Loondis asked casually as he rearranged the diaper underneath me. “I’m not going.” I replied simply. “Really?” Nurse Loondis pulled the front of the diaper up over my private parts, “A pretty girl like you must get the attention of all the boys.” I stared daggers at the nurse. The truth was I had been asked to the Prom, by seemingly half the boys in the graduating year, and a few in the lower ones too. I had turned them all down. All around me girls were falling over themselves trying to get a good man to take them to the dance, to make them a married woman. I couldn’t be less interested in that. I wasn’t looking to find some guy to look after me, I wanted to look after myself! I remained silent for the rest of the change and was glad to pick up my bag and leave when it was done. As I left the row of offices, I heard the nurse calling in the next girl who hurried in as if she was worried she might leak. I stepped through the door and immediately tripped over my own feet. I tumbled down the three steps leading to the ground and landed face down and spread-eagled. “God damn it.” I muttered to myself as tears filled my eyes. The problem I had was that my coordination seemed to be even worse than most girls my age. It seemed a cruel irony that I was so desperate to grow up and yet was the least developed in the one metric that mattered. I got back to my feet and dusted myself down. I hurried away from the scene of my accident as if gaining separation from it could make it as if it never happened. I wiped my eyes from the tears that kept traitorously trying to fall. “Emma, right?” A boy I only vaguely recognised stopped me as I was rushing past. “What?” I replied. I tried to sound as belligerent and unappealing as possible. I had a feeling I knew what was coming. “You look very pretty.” The boy continued, “Do you want to go to the Prom with me?” I felt disgust. Not because the young man in front of me was unattractive, though he definitely was, but because as he said those words I saw a vision of my future that made me shudder. Going to the Prom with this guy I’d never spoken to before, going to the hotel room afterwards, before long I’d be wed and at home popping out babies for him. It was my idea of hell. “No thanks.” I said simply as I turned away and continued on my journey. The guy, whose name I still didn’t know despite his proposal, showed me how special I was by asking the same question to the next girl behind me. I looked over my shoulder to see this other girl smiling and almost acting too keen. It was difficult to tell if her enthusiasm was genuine or simply feigned to supplicate the man in front of her, something her whole life had trained her to do. I carried on to the cafeteria and quickly saw my friends at our usual table. My circle of friends was very small, pretty much just the girls I was sitting with in class. I struggled to get on with my peers as I felt like I had nothing in common with them. Whilst I struggled to develop and learn, they seemed content with the lives planned out for them from birth. It was fine, if that’s what they really wanted, but I couldn’t help but look down my nose at them. The two friends I had were people I had known for almost as long as I could remember. Zoe, Nicole, and I had met when we had just started school and we’d stuck together ever since. I liked them, but even with my two best friends I felt… different. “So, Liam, tell me about that… thing.” Zoe said with a big toothy smile as she leaned forwards, elbows on the table and hands cupping her chin. “Huh?” Liam grunted. “The thing? The one you were talking about?” Zoe prompted, “The sport thing?” “Oh, baseball?” Liam replied, “Yeah, I’m on the team.” “Wow, how interesting.” Zoe replied. I rolled my eyes as I walked around the end of the table and sat down next to Zoe. As I got my lunch out of my bag, I saw Liam adjusting in his seat across the table to look more towards me. Whilst he had been mostly checked out before his increased interest towards me was obvious to all. Except maybe Zoe. “Hello, Emma.” Liam said brightly, “How are you?” “Same as always.” I replied with disinterest. It was my hope that showing that I clearly wasn’t interested in him would stop Liam from continuing. There wasn’t much chance of that though, guys weren’t used to girls thinking for themselves after all. Anything other than subservient interest and obedience was pretty alien to them. “That’s good. I’m pretty good too.” Liam fumbled in his bag and lifted up a small trophy, “I was just telling, erm…” “Zoe.” Zoe reminded him after a few seconds. “Right, I was just telling Zoe I just won the “Most Improved” award on the baseball team.” Liam placed the trophy on the table and smirked confidently. I think he was expecting me to fawn over it as if he’d just placed a large diamond in front of me. “So, you were crap, and now you’re a little less crap?” I asked. I smiled blithely as if I wasn’t aware of my insult. Next to me, on the other side to Zoe, Nicole snorted with laughter. She clearly understood what I was going for. I almost felt bad for Liam who let a short laugh of fake good humour as he sheepishly put his award away. The problem was, of all the men at school, he had asked me out the most. He clearly had a crush on me, but the feeling wasn’t mutual. He was good looking for sure, he was very sporty which gave him a great physique, but I wasn’t interested. Zoe was though, no matter how little attention he gave her. --- If you want to see what happens next RIGHT NOW you can do so at one of the following links.
