Cody stands near the edge of the crowd, fiddling with his glasses and gazing up at the bus with eager anticipation. His smile is wide, hopeful to learn about the wonders of his country’s capital. Nearby, Dylan, his friend for four years, leans against a post, rolling his eyes as he watches Cody. "I can't wait to see the parliament building," "Whatever, nerd,"

Dylan approaches Cody with a sly grin, glancing over his shoulder to make sure everyone is watching. He suddenly grabs Cody and gives him a wedgie, revealing Cody’s tight white underwear to the room. Gasps and giggles ripple through the crowd. "Why did you do that?" "Because you’re a nerd, Cody. Everyone needs to know,"

Dylan finds himself surrounded by new friends, swapping jokes and secrets. With a smirk, he loudly announces to everyone that Cody is a bedwetter, then yanks down Cody’s pajama pants, exposing a diaper. The room erupts in laughter, and Cody feels his cheeks burn.

Rumors swirl, but Cody and Nick offer only quiet glances, choosing kindness over revenge. Dylan avoids their gaze, learning a hard lesson about compassion and the pain of exclusion. "Maybe one day, he’ll understand,"
