CYOA: The Exchange Student - Chapter 5 (Story) (Patreon)

Anna couldn't believe this... She squirmed, diaper crackling between her legs, feeling so vulnerable, so exposed... What were the chances? Today had been such a roller coaster, it was hard to say if she felt like she was on a streak of good luck or bad luck. She was finally getting away from her family, off to live a life thousands of miles away from them, where she could do, and be, anything she wanted; she'd also leaked the first time she'd used her diaper, however, and, somehow, managed to be seated by, and then changed by, one of the few people on the plane she'd ever see again.

And not only that she'd see again, that she was going to live with, presumably. It was difficult to judge at their age, but it was possible Karissa was old enough that she lived on her own, or was in college. Anna wracked her brain, trying to recall if the girl had mentioned being in high school, if she'd overheard her and Doyle saying anything about it.

"Well," Karissa spoke up, stepping in a little closer, "isn't that funny? We sat next to each other the whole plane ride and we didn't even know! Anna is such a common name, I didn't think anything of it when we introduced ourselves."

"Y-Yeah," Anna forced herself to chuckle, as if she found all this amusing, and not highly alarming. "Wh-What a weird coincidence."

"You were seated together?" Karissa mother exclaimed, clapping her hands. "Isn't that sweet? It must be fate! I bet that means you're going to be best friends! Did you talk on the plane?"

Karissa raised her eyebrows, smirking down at Anna, who anxiously began tugging at the hem of her t-shirt. Her plan was to pretend she needed her diapers, of course, but that didn't mean she wanted everyone to know right away... Especially Karissa's little brother. If it came up, if she had to, she'd tell them; coming right out and saying it didn't seem necessary.

Unless Karissa forced her hand. Anna squirmed, looking up at the taller girl, attempting to suss out what she was thinking, how she intended on using the power she now held over Anna. This could be a very dangerous position to be in...

"Among other things," Karissa answered after a second or two.

"Other things?" her mother tilted her head. "What kind of things?"

Anna let out a tiny whimper, thankfully drowned out by the dull roar of the crowd around them. She almost spoke up, almost confessed it all right then, to take the wind out of Karissa's sails, just in case...

"Oh, you know," Karissa shrugged. "Anna had a bit of a spill."

"Oh, no!" Karissa's mother's eyes widened. "Are you okay, sweetie?"

It did feel good, being fussed over, having the woman bend over to look more closely at her, although, at the moment, Anna didn't want anyone examining her too closely, didn't want to give anybody else a chance to notice the bulk under her pajama pants, or hear the sound of her diapers emanating from underneath with her every nervous movement. She knew they were probably being muffled by the sound of everyone else all around them, too, but, to her, it seemed as if they were cutting through it all.

"U-Uh-huh," Anna nodded. "I-It wasn't that kind of spill... I-I literally spilled my drink all over myself."

"Yeah," Karissa giggled. "Do we still have Aidan's old sippy cups somewhere? She might need them. Or his bibs?"

Her little brother snickered at that, and Anna was pretty sure she caught their dad starting to do so as well, before his wife scolded them all. "Be nice! That could happen to anyone! Was it your first time on a plane, dear?" Anna nodded. "See? There's no reason to make fun of the poor thing..."

"Sorry," the little brother apologized sheepishly.

Karissa rolled her eyes. "Calm down... She knows I don't mean anything by it, don't you, Anna?" 

She gave Anna a wink, one that might have met anything. Anna chose to interpret it as a good thing; after all, that would have been the perfect opportunity for Karissa to spill the beans on her, and she hadn't done so. That didn't mean she wouldn't later, that she wasn't waiting for a better time, for maximum humiliation... But for now, she was staying quiet.

"Yeah," Anna smiled. "It's a little... private joke."

"Isn't that sweet?" Karissa's mother said. "You have your own in-jokes already... You two are going to get along so well, I can just tell! Maybe it's a good thing it didn't work out, isn't it, Karissa?" Karissa's expression darkened, her lip sticking out in a pout, her mother spotting it, not waiting for a reply to explain to Anna, "Karissa and Doyle were supposed to be studying abroad this semester, too, but it fell apart at the last minute. Having someone from that country staying in her room with her will be almost as good, though, I'm sure!"

"St-Staying in her room?" Anna fidgeted. "T-Together?"

The woman looked sheepish. "I'm afraid so... We assumed her room was going to be empty... But don't worry, you have your own bed! And she spends most of her time out with Doyle anyway."

Maybe it was a good thing she'd had her accident on the plane, made her secret known to Karissa... At least she wouldn't have to worry about trying to hide it while they were in their room, since that would have been nearly impossible. 

"And right when I thought we had gotten rid of her," Adrian piped up, sticking his tongue out at his sister. "Now there's two of them!"

"Adrian," his father sighed, as Karissa stuck her tongue out, too, in response. "Remember what we talked about..."

"I'm just saying!" Adrian whined. "There's another girl in the house, and she's already buddy-buddy with Karissa!"

"Oh, I bet the two of you would have plenty to talk about," Karissa gave Anna a sly look.

Anna squirmed, not knowing how to take that. Was Karissa suggesting she was going to tell Adrian about her diapers? Was it a threat? Or was it simply because of Anna's choice in movies on the plane, which probably aligned more with what Adrian would watch than anything Karissa and her friends would be interested in? Or, as an extension of that, did she assume Anna's maturity level was closer to his little brother's than her own, thanks to... Well, everything?

"I'm sure all of you are going to be great friends by the end of this," their mother stepped in diplomatically. "For now, why don't we get out of here? I bet you're all worn out after that flight." Anna, Karissa, and Doyle all agreed to that, not least of all Anna, who hadn't gotten any sleep at all on the plane, following the family towards the exit of the airport, pausing by the bathrooms. "Anyone need to make a pit stop?" 

Karissa and Doyle accepted, the former glancing over at Anna to see what she was going to do. Anna fidgeted, looking around at all the people. It seemed so much busier here than back at her home airport... She could probably change, could probably even get Karissa to help again, but she'd rather wait until they were at Karissa's house at this point.

"You sure?" Karissa's mom asked when Anna stayed put. "Sorry," she shook her head when she saw Anna's cheeks light up. "I know you're an adult, technically, just like Karissa... It's just force of habit."

"I-It's okay," Anna assured her, wiggling her bottom, feeling the soggy padding there. "I-I went on the plane."

They all headed out to the parking lot once Karissa and Doyle returned, going to the family SUV, Anna hesitating as she watched Karissa's younger brother, Aidan, climb into the back seat, Doyle taking one of the two single seats in the middle row. She locked eyes with Karissa, starting to blush again, wondering if there was going to be any cost to the girl's silence so far, if Karissa was maintaining it for a reason other than being kind...

She didn't really want to sit next to Aidan. He didn't seem that bad, for a little brother, certainly not as annoying as Max so far. Being banished to the back seat, however, made it seem like she was his equal, rather than Karissa's... Not to mention the fact that she was sure the two of them were the only ones in the car whose diapers Karissa had changed.

Doyle and Karissa were a couple, though, so it made more sense for them to sit together, and Anna couldn't imagine she wanted to be stuck next to her brother, either, if she had a choice. It would be nice of Anna to take the hit, to go in the back... They were dropping Doyle off first, so it wouldn't be all that long, and she could switch seats, perhaps, if doing so wasn't going to offend Aidan by making it seem like she couldn't stand to be around him.

On the other hand... It wasn't going to be that long. Karissa and Doyle could stand to be apart for a bit, couldn't they? And after Karissa had changed Anna's diaper, there was no way she was going to think Anna could be a threat to her relationship... Right? Anna peered into the open car door, at the cute boy sitting there, waiting for Karissa, remembering the fluttering feeling in the put of her stomach when she'd first met him, when he'd helped her with her luggage...

She probably didn't stand a chance with Doyle, and that was a good thing, considering what his current girlfriend knew about her, and the fact that they were going to be sharing a room. Still, she wouldn't mind spending a little more time with him, even if it was while she was wearing a wet diaper. It wouldn't exactly be alone, not with Karissa's parents in front of them, and Karissa herself behind them, but it would be something, and definitely better than being stuck with Adrian.

It was a risk, yes... She'd been taking quite a few of those today. Putting on her diaper straight away, throwing out her last pair of panties, asking Karissa for help... Back home, she doubted she'd have had the courage for any of that. Here, apparently, she did, so maybe that was a sign she should keep going. 

Where should Anna sit?

In the middle, with Doyle?

In the back, with Adrian?

Or in the back, with Adrian, then move to the middle after Doyle leaves?
