Chapter Three: COMPETITION TIME
The All Day Girls used to meet every Sunday in one of the senior girl’s studies. Hardly had the 24 hour group been established when those girls started wondering just how long it was possible to wait.
Janet suggested they double the liquid intake and try again for 24 hours, but this was considered to be impossible, and the subject was dropped. The next week five girls, including Erica, admitted that they had tried to last 24 hours with double liquid intake, but all of them had given up in desperation during the afternoon.
Their competitive instincts were aroused, and each of the five began asking when the others had given up, and how badly had they wanted to go. Each was implying that they had not tried that hard to wait, and could have lasted much longer if they had really wanted to. Pauline said there was only one thing to do, have a waiting contest and see who could last out the longest. Nine girls, the eight 24 Hour Girls and the one who had not quite made it, said they would enter the contest.
Some basic rules were formulated; the girls would compete in three groups of three, and drink 300 ml of water or other liquid of their choice every hour from 8 am onwards, after having their last piss at 7 am. A standard liquid intake had to be maintained the previous day to avoid anyone being too dehydrated. The competing group would meet in a study after lunch and keep drinking until there was a winner. Once the competition started in earnest in the study, liquid intake had to be doubled to 300 ml every thirty minutes. This time, a girl could use any method she liked to hold out, but all would have to follow a standard routine of ten minutes sitting, fifteen standing and five minutes walking about in the half hour.
Since the competition was taking place in private, all the girls would wear closely fitting grey leggings that would show any leaks, and standard knickers without an absorbent gusset, which one member had bought a bulk supply. Finally, it was added that the winner had to wait at least twenty minutes longer than the second place girl. The winner of each group would then compete in a final to find the Champion Bladder of the school. The groups were selected at random, and the first competition was set for the Saturday, and another on the Sunday. The third heat would be the next weekend, and the grand final the weekend after. The competing girls were:
- Alison, just 18, average height but thin with red hair, and one who was struggling at the end of 24 hours.
- Caroline, 17, a full figured Sloane Ranger type, with dark hair. She had been desperate after 24 hours, but in control.
- Diana, the second youngest, 16, and only just able to make the 24 hour group. Average height but plump with blonde hair.
- Erica, the youngest and not yet 14, but with a huge bladder capacity. Average build for her age, short brown hair.
- Michelle, 18, an elegant French girl with long dark hair and slim figure. One of the favourites to win.
- Pauline, the group leader, 18, and another favourite to win. Tall, well built, with long blonde hair.
- Rachel, 18, easily made the 24 hour group, a tiny girl with dark hair, suspected of having hollow legs because she could wait so long.
- Susan, 17, a big girl in every way, with short auburn hair. Tracy, 17, a short plump girl with brown hair, and the only one who was not a 24 Hour Girl, but intensely competitive and determined to do well.
It was thought that the winner would be one of Michelle, Pauline, Rachel or Susan, with Erica possibly also in the running, but after some vigorous discussion it was decided not to attempt to “seed” the competitors but just to draw the names out of a hat. The results were:
- Heat one: Alison, Michelle, Tracy.
- Heat two: Diana, Erica, Susan.
- Heat three: Caroline, Pauline, Rachel.
Michelle was considered to have got an easy heat, and expected to make the final, while heat three was expected to be the closest. In heat two, Susan had considerable support as many of the girls considered that Erica was an upstart and could not bear the idea of so young a girl being able to wait longer than they could. Susan herself was not so confident, as she knew how much she had wanted to go after 24 hours. Heat three was going to be the real contest, and many considered that this should have been the final, as Pauline and Rachel were the two favourites to win.
