Chapter 6: Naked and Molested in the Auditorium
No Relief as a Sophomore
My freshman year at Roosevelt High had ended without further humiliation, and I had allowed myself to hope. With a fresh batch of freshmen arriving in September, surely Mitch, Marcia, Joanna, and Reggie would find new targets to amuse themselves with.
That fantasy shattered in the second week of September.
I was at my locker, minding my own business, when I suddenly found myself flanked by Mitch, Marcia, and Joanna.
"Well, well, well," Joanna's voice purred. "Look who it is. Our favorite little Blondie boy."
I turned slowly. Joanna stood dead center, smiling brightly. Mitch loomed to her left, arms crossed, the usual smirk on his face. Marcia stared me down with a predatory gleam in her eyes.
"Welcome back to Roosevelt," Joanna continued, stepping closer. "Did you miss us over the summer? I know we missed you. Summer's so boring without our little plaything." She grinned wickedly. “It’s been a while. Why don’t you drop your pants and shake that little ass for us again?”
Before I could react, she placed both hands on my waist and gave my hips an exaggerated shake. Laughter erupted around me as I twisted out of her grip, my face instantly heating up.
“Hey, come on,” I protested. “I’m a sophomore now. Why don’t you go pick on one of the new kids?”
“Oh, but we have
so much more fun with
you, Blondie,” Marcia teased, stepping forward to join Joanna. She reached up and pinched my cheeks between her fingers, giving them a playful wiggle that made me feel about five years old. “We just
love watching you blush like a little schoolgirl. Just like you’re doing right now.”
My cheeks were indeed burning, much to the amusement of the three antagonists. I could feel the heat spreading down my neck, which only made them laugh harder
"Look at him," Joanna chuckled. "Still the same blushing Blondie."
"Please," I muttered, trying to turn away. "I have to get to class."
"Not so fast," Joanna said, blocking my path with an outstretched arm. "We haven't caught up properly. Tell us, Blondie, did you miss us over the summer? Did you lie awake at night thinking about us?"
"Dreaming about us, maybe?" Marcia added with a sly smile.
"Leave me alone," I said, the words sounding weak even to my own ears.
Luckily, before they could take things any further, the bell rang for the next class, much to my relief.
"Saved by the bell," Marcia chirped as they sauntered off, still chuckling. "Let's get together and have some fun real soon."
"
Real soon," Joanna echoed, blowing me a mocking kiss over her shoulder.
I shuddered as I gathered myself and walked to my next class, my hands still trembling slightly as I clutched my books. Apparently, leaving freshman year behind hadn't changed a thing. My tormentors had no intention of letting my humiliations come to an end.
Waylaid by Marcia and Mitch
It wasn't until December that they finally made good on their desire to continue humiliating me. The annual Christmas play was about to begin, and the entire student body was filing into the auditorium. I was heading inside with my friend Robert when I suddenly found myself trapped between Mitch and Marcia, each of them casually taking hold of one of my elbows.
"Well, well, well," Marcia said. "Look who we found." Her grip tightened. "Come sit with us, Blondie,” she purred. “We’d love to watch the play with you.”
"Actually, I was going to sit with—" I started to say, but Mitch cut me off.
Mitch turned to Robert. “Go find another playmate, buddy. Blondie's sitting with us today."
Robert had the good sense not to interfere. He looked at me and shrugged his shoulders apologetically, his eyes showing genuine sympathy, but also the clear understanding that he couldn't help me. As Mitch and Marcia escorted me into the auditorium, I cast one last desperate glance back at my friend, but he had already melted into the crowd.
"Don't look so sad," Marcia said, squeezing my arm. "We're going to have such a nice time together. The three of us."
"Yeah," Mitch added. "Just like old times."
We found three seats in the center of the spacious room. I was in the middle of the two with Marcia on my left. The seats on either side of them were vacant. Marcia turned to me with an innocent smile.
“Why don’t you take off your jacket and make yourself comfortable?”
I had no desire to remove any of my clothing, and it certainly wouldn’t have made me any more comfortable. “I’m fine, thanks,” I responded, keeping my voice as steady as I could manage.
Her smile didn't waver. If anything, it grew brighter. "That wasn't a request, Blondie."
"May I please keep it on?" I tried to reason with her. "It's cold in here."
“You better do what she says, Blondie,” intervened Mitch. “Or 'you know what' happens after school today.”
A cold shiver ran down my spine. He didn’t have to elaborate—I knew exactly what he was referring to. Yes, a not-so-subtle reminder of his threat to tie me up naked in the middle of Main Street. The image flashed through my mind, me bound and exposed for the whole town to see, and I felt my resolve crumble.
Reluctantly, I unzipped my jacket and slipped it off my shoulders, feeling the cooler air hit my arms, and laid it in my lap.
"Let me help you with that," Marcia chirped, her hand grabbing the jacket faster than I could react. She plucked it from my lap and placed it on the empty seat beside her, well out of my reach.
I shifted in my seat, my unease growing by the second, painfully aware of how exposed I already felt. As the lights began to dim, I had the sickening feeling that I was trapped in a nightmare that was just beginning.
A Quiet, Most Humiliating Stripping
The auditorium darkened, and the performance began. I didn't know what to expect, but I was extremely nervous. Mitch and Marcia, for the first fifteen minutes, seemed genuinely absorbed in the play. For a fleeting moment, I dared to hope that maybe, just maybe, they had lost interest in tormenting me. Maybe the jacket was enough. Maybe they would let me watch the play in peace.
But then their depraved plan began to unfold. Marcia leaned in close, her breath warm against my ear, and whispered words that caused me to bolt upright in my seat.
“Give me your shirt.”
She could have announced the start of a nuclear war, and I wouldn’t have been more horrified. My body went rigid, my heart hammering against my ribs.
"Please," I whispered back, turning slightly toward her. "Not here. Not now. The whole school is—"
"Exactly," she interrupted with a wicked grin. "That's what makes it fun. Now give me the shirt."
For a moment, I sat frozen, my mind racing. If I gave in, I had no idea how far this would go. But if I refused... well, I knew from experience that resistance was usually the worse option.
I knew what I had to do. Incredibly, I was about to start stripping in the middle of the auditorium. I reluctantly unbuttoned my shirt, slipping it off my shoulders. Through the darkness, I barely made out Marcia’s open palm, waiting expectantly. Gritting my teeth, I placed the shirt in her hand, watching helplessly as she laid it neatly on the seat beside my jacket. I remember thinking how fortuitous it was that I wore a T-shirt under my shirt that day. But I had the foreboding feeling that my T-shirt would eventually belong to Marcia.
"Good boy," she whispered. "See? That wasn't so hard."
I sat there, trembling in anticipation and dread, my arms crossed over my chest. Minutes passed, each one an eternity. Then, just as my heartbeat began to slow, Marcia struck again.
“I’ll take your shoes and socks now, pumpkin.” Her voice was sweet—mockingly so—as she rested a hand on my shoulder. "Off they come."
"Marcia, please," I pleaded. I'll do anything else, just—"
"Shoes and socks," she repeated, her tone firm.
Cringing, I leaned down, my fingers finding the shoelaces as they worked the knots, trembling the entire time. One shoe, then the other. I peeled off my socks and stuffed them into the shoes before handing the bundle over to Marcia, who added them to her growing collection. The moment my bare feet touched the cold floor, a shiver ran through me—not just from the chill, but from the realization that I was being methodically stripped down. I looked around, relieved that it was dark enough to obscure what was happening in the middle of the auditorium.
Five more minutes crawled by. Then Marcia took hold of the short sleeve of my T-shirt to pull me toward her. Again she spoke softly in my ear, in that same very friendly tone.
“I’ll take your undershirt now, darling.”
I shook my head without thinking, squeezing my arms tighter across my chest.
"Come on, don't be difficult, Blondie," Marcia chided. "We've come this far."
I hesitated, my breaths coming fast. I took a deep breath, trying to steady myself, then in resignation I complied. I leaned over, pulled the T-shirt from the collar over my head and off my arms. When Marcia tried to take it from me, I temporarily resisted before opening my palm in surrender.
“That’s a good boy,” said the amused Marcia in a throaty whisper as she patted my bare chest. "So obedient. So submissive."
I crossed my arms over my chest again, quivering with an extreme sense of dread. I remember what a naked feeling it was, even though I was still wearing my jeans. Of course, I knew what was coming next—it was just a question of
when the devilish Marcia would hit me with her next shot.
"You're doing great," she whispered, as if encouraging a child. "So cooperative. Mitch is very pleased."
I didn't dare look at Mitch. Instead, I stared straight ahead at the stage, though I couldn't have said what was happening in the play if my life depended on it.
Tantalizingly, she waited almost a full ten minutes before her next calculated move. Again she pressed her lips to my left ear, her breath tickling the skin.
"You can take your jeans off for me now, sweetie," she directed, again with a teasing, friendly, but utterly merciless voice.
The words, though expected, hit me like a sledgehammer. I was about to be stripped to my tighty-whities with the whole student body surrounding me.
"Marcia, no," I whispered, my voice breaking. "Please. I'll give you money. Whatever you want."
I was obviously desperate. The absurdity of the offer wasn't lost on me. Not only was Marcia having far too much fun to be bought off, but I didn't have nearly enough money to tempt her anyway.
"Shh," she soothed, patting my arm. "Money can't buy what we're getting here." She paused, then added, her voice less friendly than before, "Jeans. Off. Now."
I hesitated momentarily before being nudged on my right arm by Mitch, who was obviously in tune with his partner-in-mischief.
With a pit growing in my stomach, I reached for my belt, undoing it with slow, deliberate motions. Then the button. And the zipper, the sound surprisingly loud in the darkness. Then, with a deep breath, I lifted my hips and slid my jeans down my legs. Marcia giggled as I bent over, sounding delighted. I slipped them off my feet, one leg then the other, and placed them into her waiting hands. I watched forlornly as my they disappeared in the darkness, added to the pile of my clothing that now belonged to her.
Now I was sitting there—barefoot, bare-chested, and wearing nothing but my tighty-whities. Compounding my distress, I had no idea when—or
if—I would be getting my clothes back.
Again, I was made to wait, half-naked and exposed, for what felt like an eternity, with no further word from Marcia.
At one point, to my horror, Mitch's hand slid casually up and down my thigh, his fingers exploring my bare skin,
“Nice and smooth, Blondie,” he murmured in a husky tone. "Soft as a girl."
I flinched, recoiling as he withdrew, chuckling softly to himself. My hands clenched into fists in my lap, my nails digging into my palms.
The minutes dragged, each one pure torture. Then the inevitable happened. I felt Marcia’s hand on my bare shoulder. I didn't move. I didn't breathe. I braced myself for what I was almost certain would come next.
She leaned in, so close I could feel her cheek, smell her perfume. In that same soft, taunting voice, she delivered the crushing blow.
“Take off your underpants.”
It was only four words, but they were oh, so potent. I flushed intensely from head to toe, my entire body burning. For a moment, I sat paralyzed, hoping beyond hope that by ignoring her—by pretending I hadn't heard, by willing myself invisible—the living nightmare would somehow go away.
But only a few seconds elapsed before she nudged me in the shoulder and reached down to flick the elastic of my underpants with her finger, pressing for my compliance. The elastic snapped against my skin, and I jerked at the sensation, my stomach in knots over my impending fate.
Desperate, I grabbed her hand, turning toward her with wide, pleading eyes.
“Please, Marcia,” I whispered, voice shaking. “I’m begging you—please...
please don’t make me do this. I’ll do
anything, just—not this.” I squeezed her hand tightly in desperation, then let go and leaned back in my chair, my heart pounding. I couldn't look at her. I couldn't look at the stage. I couldn't look anywhere except at my own bare knees, pale and exposed before me.
There was no immediate response from Marcia, and for the first time, I felt a flicker of optimism. Maybe—just maybe—she had a shred of mercy in her after all. Two minutes passed. Then three. The tension in my chest began to ease. My breathing steadied. I was just about to risk asking for my clothes back—just about to form the words—when she moved. I felt her lean closer. Her lips were directly over my ear canal, her breath hot. This time the friendliness to her voice was completely gone, and she spoke the words very slowly, clearly, and with unmistakable authority.
“Give... me... your... underpants.
Now!”
I was devastated. My situation was hopeless. I closed my eyes tightly and braced myself for the abject humiliation to come. Shaking uncontrollably, I lifted my hips, incredulous at what I was about to do, at what I was about to become. My hands trembled as I grasped the waistband, hesitating for one last, desperate second. Then, in one slow, humiliating motion, I slid my underpants down my thighs, past my knees, over my calves, and finally off my feet—first one, then the other. I let out a gasp as the sinister Marcia snatched them away the moment they cleared my toes, letting out a triumphant giggle.
I was completely naked in the auditorium, surrounded by the entire student body.
Instinct took over. I clamped my knees together, curled forward, and locked my hands over my crotch. My elbows dug into my sides as I hunched, head nearly between my knees, my skin burning from sheer humiliation. It was too dark for anyone to see, I told myself. Too dark. But that didn't help. I knew I was exposed, and that knowledge burned like a spotlight.
A warm hand settled on my back. I could hear the delight in her voice as she leaned close, her soft, mellifluous words brushing against my ear. “Excellent, Blondie. You’re
naked, yes you are! Completely, totally, utterly naked." She paused just long enough to let the words sink in, then let out a short, satisfied giggle. "Can’t you just die?”
My only response was rapid, heavy breathing. She merrily repeated the word
naked several times—as if I needed a reminder.
“Naked. Naked, naked, naked,
nayked!”
She gave my back a little pat. “Now sit up straight like the good naked boy you are and enjoy the play.”
I obeyed by sitting up, but enjoying the play was clearly out of the question.
“Oh, God,” I whispered to no one in particular, my eyes clenched shut. “Oh, God.”
My knees stayed pressed together, arms rigid, hands still clamped over my genitals. Every few seconds, my eyes darted toward the dark lump that marked where my clothes lay. I could only make out their outline, but knowing they were close by was my only ray of hope. My apprehension was extreme, as I wondered when I would get them back. The play would end soon, surely within the next half hour. And when those lights came on...
At one point that tiny ray of hope flickered brighter. Marcia was sifting through my clothes, bending over the pile. She turned toward me, my jacket clutched in her hands, and for one delirious moment I thought mercy had arrived. I reached for it—but the sadistic Marcia yanked it back, hugging it to her chest.
“It’s a little chilly in here, Blondie," she said with a smile. "I hope you don’t mind if I borrow your coat.”
I sat there, naked and shivering, while Marcia wrapped herself snugly in my jacket and giggled to herself with pure, fiendish delight.
The Flashlight
For a stretch of time—about fifteen agonizingly long minutes—nothing happened. But then, my sorry situation took a turn for the worse. First, I felt Mitch’s hand take my right wrist and pull it toward him, resting it on the armrest between us. His grip lingered as he leaned in.
“Leave it there,” he instructed, his voice low, and unquestionably in control.
A second later, Marcia’s draped her fingers over my left wrist. I didn’t even have time to resist before she guided my arm to the opposite armrest. Her lips brushed my ear as she whispered, “Don’t you
dare move your arm.”
I swallowed hard. My heart pounded. The helplessness of my position sank in—I was completely exposed, my hands immobilized, and entirely at their mercy.
Then things got worse.
The diabolical Marcia reached into her purse. I didn’t see what she took out, but I heard a soft click a split second before I realized what it was. A small flashlight snapped on. The small beam landed squarely on my exposed genitals.
I jolted instinctively, every nerve screaming at me to cover myself. But before I could move, Mitch and Marcia's grips tightened on my wrists, pinning me in place.
Marcia giggled in my ear, positively gleeful. “Uh-uh, Blondie,” she cooed. “If you cover yourself up, you’ll never see your clothes again.” She reached down with her free hand and gave my left knee a firm tug. "Spread your knees out. I want a clear view of your little bits."
I unclenched my knees. With considerable effort, I spread them a few inches apart. Marcia and Mitch finally relaxed their grips, but I didn't dare move my hands. I fought the overwhelming impulse to shield myself as Marcia tilted the flashlight downward, the beam illuminating everything.
Marcia and Mitch had a full, unobstructed view of my naked genitals. Back then I still hadn't grown any pubic hair, and my mortification was absolute. Both pressed their palms against their mouths to muffle their laughter.
Marcia leaned in again, her voice thick with mischief. “Such a cute wittle naked
boy you are, Blondie,” she taunted. “And you have such a teensy wittle
wee-wee, yes you
do!.” She held the light steady on my "little wee-wee" for several seconds, giggling.
Again, Marcia pressed her mouth to my ear, her breath hot and moist against my skin. Then she angled the flashlight upward, and the beam caught my face full-on. She must have noticed that I looked like I could start crying at any second.
"Oh, you're not going to cwy, wittle boy, are you?" she cooed. "Does wittle Blondie want his mommy? Does he need his mommy to come make it all better?"
I managed to hold back the tears, knowing that if I cried, it would only give her another reason to tease me.
Then, to my great and mounting distress, Marcia pivoted the flashlight toward the row in front of me. I barely had time to process what was happening before I saw three grinning faces turned in my direction. Joanna smirked knowingly. Beside her, a girl from my homeroom—Brenda, I recalled—covered her mouth with one hand as her shoulders trembled with suppressed giggles. And next to her, a well-endowed blonde I didn't recognize at the time, but later learned was Cheryl, gave me a wide, entertained grin.
Then Marcia swung the beam back to my face, giving them all a look at my crimson-faced look of shock, my mouth hanging slightly open in mortified disbelief.
"Oh Blondie," she teased, loud enough that the others could hear, "you're just making their night. Look at you, making all these girls so happy. You're such a good little entertainer, aren't you?"
Then she lowered the beam back down to her target, and I sat there, utterly exposed, forced to absorb the overwhelming humiliation of five people staring at my nakedness while I did nothing—
could do nothing—to stop it.
Sexually Aroused
Though it's probably hard for you to believe, my plight was about to worsen in ways I couldn't have imagined. Marcia took my left hand and wrapped my trembling fingers around the flashlight and pointed it at my crotch.
“Keep this shining right there, Blondie,” she ordered. "I want to see everything—every little twitch of your little wee-wee."
So not only was I forced to sit there naked while at least five people stared at me, but I had to suffer the further indignity of playing an active role in my own humiliation. As I sat there holding the light, I remember thinking that the depravity couldn’t possibly sink any lower. But I’m sorry to tell you that I was wrong, as indeed it was lowered to another level entirely.
A few minutes after Marcia handed off the flashlight, I felt her hand return to the inside of my knee. She strummed her fingers in a slow, teasing rhythm, playfully working her way up the inside of my thigh. I flinched when she reached a sensitive spot high on my thigh, perilously close to my balls, and I jerked my body back instinctively, letting out an involuntary high-pitched squeal. Marcia giggled, a low, throaty sound, and rested her hand there.
"Shhh," she whispered. "Just relax, Blondie. You're doing so well."
That must have been some kind of signal for Mitch, because he then took hold of my right wrist and pulled it toward him. At first I resisted, my mind screaming at me to pull away. But then I succumbed, knowing with a sinking heart that defiance would be fruitless, that resistance would only make things worse. Then—and it’s difficult for me to talk about this even now—he pulled my hand down to his crotch. He had unclasped and loosened his pants without me noticing, and to my utter horror he directed my hand inside his boxer shorts and straight to his penis. He must have brought a small tube of Vaseline or something similar, because it was already slick and lubricated, already waiting for me.
“Play with it, Blondie,” he whispered in my ear. "You know what to do. Don't pretend you don't."
He let go of my wrist and waited for me to perform the distasteful act. I couldn’t compel myself to submit to him. I retracted my hand from the warm, repulsive flesh, knowing full well that it would provoke a reprisal.
Sure enough, Mitch leaned forward and spoke loud enough for Marcia to hear. “Marcia, give me his clothes. All of them.”
“Okay! Okay, I’ll do it!” I whispered in a semi-panic, my voice cracking.
I reached over and put my hand back inside Mitch's shorts, my stomach turning. Disgusted, fighting back the urge to retch, I started fondling his penis. It was already semi-erect, but it really came to life with my touch, growing harder with each reluctant stroke. I was repulsed and stopped momentarily, my hand hovering, my whole body trembling.
Again Mitch leaned to my ear. “Just keep stroking it, Blondie,” he commanded. “I’ll tell you when to stop. That's it, be a good boy." I swallowed hard and continued to do his bidding, my movements mechanical, my mind trying to go somewhere else. “A little higher,” he instructed, his breath coming faster now. “Yeah, that’s it... up and down... yeah, just like that... wrap your fingers tighter... ohhh, yes, very nice,” he said before leaning back, his head falling against the seat, lost in sexual pleasure.
I continued caressing his now rock-hard, slimy penis with my right hand, while my left hand held the flashlight shining on my genitals, completing the spectacle of my degradation.
After a couple of minutes that felt like hours, I felt Mitch's left hand begin stroking the inside of my right thigh, his touch mirroring Marcia's earlier movements. Within seconds Marcia began stroking the inside of my left thigh, her fingers occasionally darting over to my balls with teasing, feather-light touches. I must admit, I'd never felt anything quite like it before—self-stimulation simply didn't compare to the sensation of someone else's touch. Much to my dismay—and despite my profound mortification—I started to get aroused. As Marcia concentrated more on my balls, her fingers dancing and tickling, no matter how hard I fought it, I was becoming more erect. I heard Marcia and the girls in front of me giggle, while Mitch was moaning pleasurably.
Marcia put her lips right up to my ear and whispered, “You like that, don’t you, my naked little pet. You're getting all hard for us, aren't you? Such a dirty little boy.”
She then wiggled her tongue all around the inside of my ear, and I had a tingling sensation throughout my whole body, the likes of which I’d never experienced before.
Then Mitch started stroking the underside of my penis, and within a few seconds I had a full-fledged hard-on—such as it was. I was probably just a little over half the size of Mitch, though in that moment it didn't seem to matter. Marcia's giggling continued, and judging by the amused laughter from the row in front of me, Joanna, Brenda, and Cheryl were thoroughly enjoying the show, too—and I don't mean the play.
All I could hear from Mitch were groans of pleasure, low and guttural, as I dutifully continued stimulating his raging penis. Then he squeezed a lubricant on his palm and spread it all over my penis, only enhancing my state of sexual excitement. Marcia focused on my balls, gently tickling them with her fingers, her touch maddeningly light. I must admit that, at that point, I momentarily forgot about my dreadful situation—that of being naked in a crowded auditorium while being molested by two students—and got lost in the moment, my body betraying me completely.
"Oh... oh... oh, God, please, no..." I moaned as softly as I could, though the words came out more like a plea than a protest.
The four girls were trying to stifle their giggles, and I must have stopped my grudging servitude to Mitch, my hand slowing, because he leaned to my ear again, urgent and demanding.
"Don't stop, Blondie!" he said, almost desperately, his hips bucking slightly. "Pump my cock. Pump it harder! I'm ready to cum!”
I took hold of his penis and started jacking him off in earnest, disgusting as it was, my hand moving faster now. Mitch proceeded to do the same to me. I remember losing focus of the flashlight and feeling Marcia guiding it toward her mark with one hand while massaging my balls with the other. I felt Mitch’s penis start to pulsate right about the same time that I reached orgasm, my body convulsing with the intensity of it. I lifted my hips off the seat and moaned, unable to contain myself, as the sensation was overwhelming, drowning out everything else. Marcia and Mitch didn't let up until I finished, their hands continuing to work me even as I spasmed, at which point I slumped back down in my seat, spent and trembling.
A few seconds went by before Mitch leaned over and spoke quietly in my ear. “Nothing quite like simultaneous orgasm, huh, Blondie?” he said while patting my thigh. "You and me, we're connected now."
Frantic Recovery of Clothes
I didn't get a chance to register my repugnance, because at that moment, the thunderous ovation from the entire student body jolted me back to reality like a bucket of ice water. For one horrifying moment I actually thought they were cheering my orgasm, but then I realized the play had ended, and they were clapping for the curtain call.
That was only a minor consolation, since I was still naked, and the lights would be coming on any second. I pulled my hand out from Mitch's pants, my fingers sticky and shameful. I remember brushing across the wetness on his midsection and being disgusted with the stark realization that I had gotten him off, that my hand had done that, even as he had done the same to me.
That disgust immediately turned into panic. I needed to get dressed. Fast. Wasting no time, I reached around Marcia, fumbling blindly for my clothes.
Imagine my horror when I found only my shoes and socks. My clothes were gone! Now in full panic mode, my heart hammering against my ribs, I put both of my hands on Marcia’s shoulders and shook them vigorously.
"Where are my clothes?!" I asked frantically, my voice high and breaking. "Marcia, please, where are they?!"
I lunged for my jacket, but she hugged it tightly to her chest, grinning with amusement. Instead of answering, she flicked on her flashlight and illuminated the row in front of me.
My stomach dropped. Joanna, Cheryl, and Brenda each held an article of my clothing, proudly suspending them just below their chins like prized trophies. Joanna held out my jeans. Cheryl had my shirt, dangling from one finger. And Brenda, looking especially pleased with herself, held my underpants, stretched between her hands for maximum display. My T-shirt was casually draped around her neck like some kind of scarf. I lunged for them, but the girls pulled back in unison, giggling.
“I guess you’ll have to go get them, Blondie,” laughed Marcia. "Go on, they're right there. Unless you want to walk out like that?"
I started to climb over the seat, desperate and reckless, when Marcia slapped one of my protruding ass cheeks with a sharp crack and took hold of my leg, pulling me back down.
“Not that way, silly boy,” she chided. "You'll have to go around. Through the aisle."
I was filled with dread, but I had no choice. Heart pounding so hard I could feel it in my throat, I wove my way down the row, hunched over, hoping, praying, that no one would notice the naked boy creeping through the seats. But Marcia, ever the tormentor, shined the flashlight directly on my naked bum, sending a ripple of reaction through the audience around us.
"What the hell?" someone muttered.
“Hey, that guy’s naked!” another voice exclaimed.
I ducked low, my face burning, but the applause drowned out most of the commotion, mercifully masking my embarrassment. Reaching the row in front, I abandoned all dignity and dropped to my hands and knees, crawling toward Joanna like an animal.
I snatched my jeans from her grasp without a second thought for my underpants or T-shirt, caring about nothing except getting covered. I jammed my legs into them as fast as humanly possible. The now-familiar sensation of going commando only deepened my humiliation, the rough denim chafing against my sensitive skin.
As the lights came up, Cheryl tossed my shirt at me. I scrambled to button it, my fingers clumsy and trembling. It probably wasn't true, but I couldn't shake the feeling that everyone in the auditorium was staring at me, knowing exactly what had happened. My face felt like it was on fire—I’m sure it was tomato red, visible to everyone.
Glancing back, I saw Marcia grinning as she handed me my shoes, socks, and jacket, her expression smug with victory—and a sense of ownership. I yanked them on and hurried out with the rest of the crowd, my pulse still racing, my whole body trembling. When I reached the hallway, I found myself surrounded by all five of the grinning culprits responsible for my staggering humiliation. I stared straight down at the floor, too ashamed to look any of them in the eye.
“That was a very uplifting play, Blondie,” Mitch called out. "Don't you think? Really moving. Really... satisfying."
To the sound of their laughter, I hurried away without answering, my shoes barely tied and my jacket clutched tightly around me.
* * * * *
The next morning, I walked into homeroom with considerable dread. I would have to face at least one of my tormentors from the day before, and by now everyone knew what had happened. Nothing would ever be the same.
My dread proved fully justified. When I reached my desk in the front row, my stomach lurched. There, laid out as though on display and arranged with deliberate care, were the very items I had unwillingly stripped off the day before. My T-shirt was draped over the back of my chair. My underpants were neatly spread across my desk, positioned center stage. I snatched them up and shoved them into my backpack with frantic haste.
As I sat down, my heart still hammering, I couldn't help glancing back at Brenda. She was grinning. Her eyes met mine with knowing amusement as she watched my face turn bright red all over again.
