Chapter 4 - the Second Challenge

All the next day at school, I was both dreading and anticipating what was going to happen that night. As a result, I had trouble concentrating on a number of classes.

It didn't help that everyone was still talking about my little porn video. It had made that much of an impact, and I guess the rest of the school had heard about it by now.

Roger hadn't been to school either, and I heard over the announcements that the school network had been temporarily offline for maintenance, causing disruptions to some classes. Who were they fooling? I saw the tech people during lunch. They had to be checking their system logs, and also looking for malware, and other little holes in their security. The entire system is made of Swiss cheese, so it's not like they have to look far.

I couldn't even be distracted by the Nerd Collective as they talked in class about building computers for mining the latest trending cryptocurrency.

Somehow, I managed to survive Phys Ed without getting picked to clean up. I was actually pleased that the porn video was distracting people, and that I escaped having to help out. Normally, the other girls would have forced me to clean up after them because I was usually last in everything. I didn't take up Phys Ed because I was good at it. No. I was middling at best. I did it because I enjoyed it. The physicality of pushing my body to its limits. Every other girl there was a potential champion, according to our coach. They could all run faster than me, jump higher, swim faster, and throw further. I was just 'Good job Zoemi'. The only time that I did better than them was because they were having a bad day. You know the one, where a girl has period pain so bad they can't do anything physically demanding? Yeah, that one.

I managed to change back into my normal clothes without drawing any more attention and drive home for a shower to get rid of the sweat.

After doing my homework, Mom asked if I was ready to go out.

Shit. I forgot. I'd been so wrapped up in school, the porn video, and my personal little blackmailer.

This is the night I go out with Mom. It's our weekly family night.

We go out to some restaurant in the city we haven't tried before and have a meal together. Then, if we feel like it, we go to a movie or an arcade or something. We rarely miss it. If I had to study for some test or she had to do the night shift, we might delay it, but it almost always happens. If my sisters were here, we'd all go together.

I got ready by quickly changing into some clothes for going out. An oversized Miami college t-shirt that I got from my sister Levy and some light shorts. The T-shirt was so long that when I stood in front of the mirror to check, you couldn't see the shorts.

Tonight was Mom's turn to pick the restaurant. When we pulled into the carpark, I let out a groan when I saw the bright sign of the Pirate's Cove Cantina.

"Something wrong with my choice, Zoemi?" My mom asked.

"No Mom. I just didn't expect it is all."

Seeing the name just reminded me of JR. They said they'd send me a new challenge tonight, but I hadn't heard anything.

We sat and talked about anything and everything as we waited for our food. Everything from funny things we'd seen and heard, to what crazy things we'd seen on the internet. Nothing was out of bounds, including school.

"Wasn't there someone suspended at your school yesterday?" Mom asked.

"Um, yeah," I said hesitantly. "A kid in my class."

"Roger, isn't it? You've known him for a while, haven't you?"

"Uh-huh," I sipped at the free water.

"I bumped into Joanne Egerton today. His mother. She said he'd been moping around at home. She said he was also kicked off the football team."

Oh, fuck me. I guess I did feel a little guilty for him being kicked off the football team.

Nah.

"I hadn't heard that," I said.

"I was thinking you might want to go and visit him after school tomorrow and see how he's doing."

Fat chance in hell.

"I don't know him that well, Mom. We never got on."

That was an understatement.

Our conversation thankfully drifted to other things. The food came, and we started to eat. That's when I felt the phone in my pocket buzz. I tried to ignore it and enjoy the moment with my mom as we continued to talk, but my phone buzzed again.

I slipped it from my pocket and put it on my lap to read the messages.

J0LLy-R0gER: Are you ready for your next challenge?

J0LLy-R0gER: I love the pirate theme. Was that your choice?

J0LLy-R0gER: How is the food there?

I don't know how JR knew we were out having dinner. Maybe they were tracking my phone. Was I being too paranoid? It was hard to tell how they knew.

ZoemiLightBringer: wuw

J0LLy-R0gER: Make an excuse to go to the restroom

"Mom, I'm just going to the restroom. I'll be right back."

"Okay, Hon."

I pushed my chair back and headed to the back of the restaurant, before finding two doors marked with the male and female restroom signs. I went in the female one, of course, and immediately locked the door. It was a single room with a toilet and sink, after all.

My phone buzzed before I could check the rest of the room.

J0LLy-R0gER: Unlock the door and take your clothes off

ZoemiLightBringer: But someone might come in!

J0LLy-R0gER: If someone does, make an excuse that you spilled something on your clothes

Reluctantly, I unlocked the door before slipping the T-shirt off. I looked for a place to put it before hanging it on a hook on the back of the door. Next came the shorts. I stood precariously on my sandals to take them off, as I didn't know what was on the tile floor of this place.

I hung it up over my shirt before replying.

ZoemiLightBringer: What next?

J0LLy-R0gER: What underwear are you wearing?

It was a kind of intimate question, but I guess that after what I did last night, I wasn't averse to answering.

ZoemiLightBringer: Simple panties and bra

J0LLy-R0gER: Take them off

I slipped the bra off and rubbed my tits, finding my nipples were starting to stiffen up. A sound from outside caused me to glance up at the door, but all I heard were distant restaurant sounds. Slowly, I drew my panties down and stepped out, holding them both as I stood there naked in the small room.

Every second that passed as I stood there, I got more anxious and excited that someone might open the door and find me.

I looked at the mirror and saw my naked self staring back. I raised one hand and pulled at a nipple, feeling a jolt go down my body to my pussy. I was starting to feel a little more than excited.

JR wasn't saying anything. Maybe I was supposed to respond.

ZoemiLightBringer: Now what?

J0LLy-R0gER: Open the door and take your underwear into the men's restroom. Leave them in the bin. Take a photo of yourself in front of the urinal. Then return

ZoemiLightBringer: But someone might see me!

J0LLy-R0gER: No one is looking your way

How the hell do they know that? Were they out in the restaurant?

My heart felt like it was hammering in my chest as I pulled on the handle and eased the door open. Holding the phone and underwear to my chest, I slipped my head out to look down the corridor.

All the way down the other end was the restaurant. It could be seen just behind a latticework covered in decorations. I could make out movement behind it and pieces of people through the holes, but couldn't identify anyone specifically or see any eyes. It didn't mean no one could see down the corridor or that no one could suddenly decide to use a toilet, but there was no one else there right now except me.

Deciding to move quickly, I pulled the door open and stepped out bare naked. The male restroom was a few feet away. Each step seemed to ratchet up the excitement that I was feeling.

I grabbed the handle and pushed down on it as I pushed the door, but the door didn't budge. For a moment, I felt panic grip me as I checked the door over for any sign that it was occupied. There was no little indicator on these doors, and I jiggled the door again. I was starting to panic now, as I didn't hear anything from inside.

Trying the handle again, I pushed hard down on the handle and the door suddenly gave way, almost dragging me in as it swung open. I feared that someone inside decided to open the door, but as I stumbled inside, it was empty.

The damn handle was just sticky. I looked around for the bin. I spotted it under the sink and quickly stuffed my underwear inside. I threw another piece of paper towel on top to hide it, then quickly turned to leave before I remembered I was supposed to take a photo.

I stepped over to the urinal and heard my sandals sticking to something on the floor. Oh god, was that urine all over the floor? I thought I could smell it. I wanted to gag. Still, I took my phone out and held it up, taking several photos because I felt like I needed to. I was naked in a freaking men's restroom.

As soon as I was done, I quickly left the room, pulling the door closed behind me.

I felt really naked now in that restaurant corridor filled with the sound of the clatter and sizzle from the nearby kitchen and the murmur of customers eating. All it would take is someone to step around that lattice, and I'd be seen. I felt so horny. I couldn't help but touch a hand against my bare hip, sliding it over my bare skin until it came into contact with my moist labia. I was so wet.

One slow step. Then a second, even slower still, almost daring someone to come. I paused there, my breath coming hard before I forced myself forward. Three. I reached the doorway and slipped inside, somehow escaping getting seen.

I leaned against the open doorway as I slowly rubbed myself. This was really wrong, but I couldn't help myself. I couldn't believe how turned on I was.

I tapped a response on my phone one-handed.

ZoemiLightBringer: It's done

J0LLy-R0gER: Get dressed and return to your mom before she gets suspicious

Mom. Shit. She's probably going to think a gator came up the pipes and ate me.

I reluctantly grabbed a paper towel and quickly patted myself dry, tossing the paper into the bin before closing the door so I could reach my clothes.

I rushed myself to get dressed and was out the door so quickly that I almost bumped into a woman reaching for the door handle.

She gave me a weird stare as I skipped around her, hitting the wall with my shoulder before I turned away from her.

God, I came so close to getting caught by that woman. If I'd been there a few seconds longer, rubbing myself off a few seconds longer, she might have found me naked or even still pleasuring myself.

I stopped at the end of the latticework screen, where you could see into the kitchen and the rest of the restaurant. I typed out a message and sent it.

ZoemiLightBringer: That was really disgusting

ZoemiLightBringer: Could have warned me someone was coming

J0LLy-R0gER: It was a woman. You would have handled it

As soon as I received the message, I looked around the restaurant for JR, looking for any familiar faces. There were a few teenagers besides myself there, but no one that I recognized. None of them looked like they were even looking at the phones.

I was no closer to figuring out who JR was.

My eyes settled on Mom, and I saw her staring a little unhappily at my empty seat.

Without any more delay, I headed over.

"That toilet looked nasty. I felt dirty just being in that room," I said as I sat down to finish my food.

"I hope you washed your hands," she said.

"I couldn't go. All I wanted to do was wash my hands and get out of there."

Mom didn't seem to notice any change in my clothes, though I distinctly felt my nipples brushing against the inside of the T-shirt every time I moved about. I suppose it was loose enough that no one could see I had no bra on.

When we left the restaurant, we headed to the movies. Because Mom chose the restaurant, I chose the movie.

It was the latest horror film where a family are terrorized by a sentient robot. There had been a few like this recently. It feels like a theme these days thanks to AI becoming so prevalent.

The film wasn't very popular and after a couple of weeks, the number of people who came out to see it had dropped off. The cinema was less than a quarter full, so we snagged good seats in the first few rows.

My phone buzzed in the middle of the film. Shit. I thought I was finished with JR for the night.

I fished my phone out and shaded the screen so my mom wouldn't see the light from it as I read the message.

J0LLy-R0gER: Go to the back row

Couldn't JR figure out that spending time with my mom was important? Or was their blackmail of me more important? That was probably a dumb question.

I didn't know how to explain to Mom why I was leaving her again. I was sure that using the restroom excuse was going to be suspicious if I used it again.

"I'm just going to get a drink," I said in a whisper.

"You okay, Hon?"

"I'm just a little dehydrated," I said.

I slipped out of my seat, excusing myself as I slipped past a couple in the same row. Glancing over my shoulder, I checked to make sure she wasn't watching where I was going and went up the stairs toward the back rows. I could make out a few people here and there with their faces lit by the screen, but the back rows appeared to be empty.

I slid into the last row, almost expecting my mysterious blackmailer to be there waiting for me, but I was all alone in the back row. The position of the seat was such that I couldn't see anyone else inside the cinema. The seat backs hid everyone from view. It was no wonder people liked making out in the cinema, as you wouldn't be seen.

Another message arrived.

J0LLy-R0gER: Take all your clothes off

I stared at the message for several seconds, realizing what they just asked.

ZoemiLightBringer: Someone will see!

J0LLy-R0gER: They might

J0LLy-R0gER: Or they might learn that you made your own porn video and showed it in class

J0LLy-R0gER: Everyone will find out that it was your body up on that screen

My stomach dropped. They were serious.

I stood up and looked around the cinema, but the closest person I could see was a few rows down and far across the other side.

Crouching back down in my seat, I nervously reached for the edges of my T-shirt and started lifting it up.

I was really doing this.

After shifting in my seat to free the edge, it came up quite easily and slipped off my head. I put it on the seat next to me before reaching down and removing my sandals. With my feet bare, all I had left was my shorts. My heart was racing as I slowly slipped my shorts down my hips. Bending over, I retrieved my shorts and put them on the same seat.

As I sat back up, I was feeling very exposed and very aroused. Sitting naked in a movie theater still filled with people.

ZoemiLightBringer: I'm naked. Now what?

J0LLy-R0gER: Stand up and walk to the other end of the row

I stared at the small screen, wondering if I would really go through with this. Someone was bound to see me, and I would surely be caught. I'd get kicked out. My mother would find out. I don't know how I would explain it to her. I was so sure I would be seen, and yet I slowly pushed myself up out of my seat. I glanced down, seeing my exposed chest lit up by the flickering light of the movie screen down to just below my belly button. My breath came rapidly, causing my breasts to rise and fall just as quickly. I was so excited.

There was an inescapable feeling of exhilaration. Slowly I slid along the row, keeping myself facing towards the front of the cinema. I couldn't help exposing myself. I desperately wanted to be seen. I wanted them to know that I was naked. It filled me with such overwhelming ecstasy.

Seat after seat, I slid across, feeling the fabric across the front of my thighs. My bare feet on the worn and crushed carpeting. And yet, all I could think about was how much I wanted to touch myself, to fill my pussy with something. I really wished I'd brought Jolly with me. It would have been plunging deep into my hole, bringing me to the most wonderful orgasm.

I was reaching for air before I realized it, making me look down to see that I had reached the end of the row. There weren't any more seats.

I was contemplating fingering myself right there in the walkway when my phone buzzed.

J0LLy-R0gER: Come back and get dressed. Return to your mom before she gets suspicious

Shit. Mom. I'd gotten totally distracted.

With total disregard, I quickly slid back along the seats, still facing towards the front of the screen. If the lights suddenly went up or the fire alarm went off, I'd have nowhere to go except down to hide myself. I kept going until I reached the last seat and sat down.

I grabbed up my T-shirt and dropped it over my head, pulling it down before I reached for my shorts. The seat was empty, though. I sat down as I checked all around and down underneath just in case it fell off the seat, but I couldn't see it anywhere. My sandals were still on the floor.

My mind quickly went to JR, thinking that they had taken them.

ZoemiLightBringer: Where are my shorts?

J0LLy-R0gER: They have been confiscated as pirate booty. Return to your mother

ZoemiLightBringer: Not without my shorts! I've got nothing on!

J0LLy-R0gER: No one can tell. Your mother is looking around for you

I cautiously looked over the tops of the seats and thought I could make out my mother's head trying to find me.

I couldn't just sit here. Realizing I had no choice, I pulled my sandals on and crept into the aisle. Keeping my head down, I snuck down the stairs, trying to keep an eye on where my mother was as I pulled at the edge of the T-shirt, trying to make sure it was down.

As I got to the floor, I couldn't see my mother's head, so I stood up and strolled back to our row, pretending as if I'd just come from the entrance.

I whispered an "excuse me" to the couple near the end of the row, before slipping past them with my back towards them. I could practically feel their eyes on my backside as I felt my bare thighs touching them.

I was so close to them. Could they see that I had nothing on underneath? My heart was racing, and yet they said nothing as I went past.

I finally sunk back into my seat next to Mom, feeling the T-shirt ride up my backside. My bare backside was on the seat, so I pulled on the front edge of the T-shirt, covering my thighs as far as it could go. I felt so wet, I figured I must be soaking into the seat.

She glanced at me.

"You missed a good part," she whispered.

"Sorry," was all I could manage.

My phone buzzed in my hand.

I didn't want to look at it, just in case JR made another demand. Yet I couldn't help myself and stole a glance before turning the screen off again.

J0LLy-R0g3R: I will send you a new challenge tomorrow night. Be prepared to stay up late

I felt relief that I was off the hook for now.

When we got out of the cinema and stopped on the sidewalk under the night sky, I found Mom staring at me. This made me suddenly self-conscious as I gripped the edge of my T-shirt, making sure it was down.

"Are you okay, Zoemi? You look a little flushed."

She held out a hand on my forehead and frowned a little.

I wasn't sure how flushed I looked, but I certainly felt warm standing there with nothing but the breeze touching everything below my belly button. I was sure those people on the street out front who were looking in my direction could tell I had nothing on underneath.

"I guess I pushed myself a little hard in Phys Ed this afternoon."

"Is everything going well at school? You know you can tell me if you're having problems," she asked.

"There's no problem at school."

That much was true. My problem right now was a lack of underwear and how wet I felt. If we kept standing there where everyone could see, I swear it was going to show on my legs.
