PE had just finished and we were back in class putting on our shoes preparing for the next class. English, it could be a lot worse. We were sitting on our chairs, busy tying our shoe laces when 3 boys walked into the room talking loudly. They stopped, dropping their jaws and stared at Mary sitting beside me. "What's up?" I thought, looking at the boys, not being able to see anything wrong. I looked at Mary who had the heel of her shoe on the chair she sat on and was busy working on her laces. Nothing untoward I thought as I crossed in front of her to get my bag. Looking at her again I noticed that I could see all the way up her legs as her uniform dress had fallen to her waist showing a small patch of pale blue panties between her thighs. I stood there looking at Mary surprised to see the centre of her panties had disappeared between her lips which were obviously bald. How come there is no hair? Why was I still looking? This was my best friend and I was staring at her front bottom, feeling, I don't know, shocked, surprised, naughty: excited?
"What's wrong?" Mary asked looking up at me. "Put your leg down your panties are showing." I whispered. She went scarlet putting her feet on the ground. I turned to the boys ready to tell them off when the teacher Mr McDonnel wandered in from the teacher's resource room. The boys rushed to their seats, still stealing glances at Mary whispering to each other. I was so angry. They should have turned their heads and looked the other away. What's the matter with them? Heck; what's wrong with me, I had stared as well. I blushed as I remembered her front bottom looking up at me. Hairless and a soft flesh colour. What was that tingling in the pit of my stomach?

My name is Rosey, a quiet girl being raised as an only child by my religious parents in a small town in New Zealand's north island. My parents are fairly strict. The harshest word that was ever heard within our home was gosh. Even the use of damn, or worse still OMG (taking the Lords name in vane) was enough to raise the hand of my father and the sharp tongue of my mother. Of course at school, I frequently heard a great range of uncouth words, most of which made me blush and say a quiet prayer to myself.
I am 18 and in my last year at high school. I love my parents, enjoy going to church each Sunday and the evening ritual of bible debate that we have after the evening meal had been cleared away. I don't have time or interest in thinking about boys or gossip at school and focused all my attention on studies. We weren't the wealthiest of families, so I wanted to get the best grades I could to make my future easier.
Mum would take me aside from time to time and talk to me about 'the birds and the bees.' But it was more embarrassing than informative and at the end of the discussion I was more confused than anything.
I was always taught to sit properly, not allowing anyone even accidently to see anything they shouldn't and certainly not to think about boys for fear of being cast into hell for ever. If I saw something that I shouldn't, I was taught to turn my head and say a quick prayer. When I got my first period, mum was stunned that I was so young and quickly took me aside and told me how to be clean and use a pad. She repeated, 'again', "that my 'front bottom' was never to be touched except for personal hygiene reasons. Anything else would be a sin and people would notice you have changed." As sheltered as my life is, I know of no other life, and I am happy.
Mary, my best friend, lived next door, went to the same church and is raised by similar god fearing parents. We were inseparable (when chores and parents allowed it). Being the same age, we studied, went to the same school, had most of the same subjects and always sat together at church, school lunch breaks and when situations allowed it. Mary was not an only child. She had an older brother Noah, who was at university in his final year of a 3-year course in Financial Planning.

English class took forever to finish. I found it really hard to focus, with my thoughts always returning to see Mary sitting on the chair. Each time the sight flashed through my mind, I got a feeling like tingling, butterflies, sort of nervous. Like before I sat an end of year exam. At last, the bell went for lunch break, I grabbed my bag and ran with Mary onto the field to our favourite place for lunch. Here we could see everything that was happening and study without interruption.
Sitting down carefully I grabbed out my lunch and started to eat my sandwiches quietly thinking of how to bring it up with Mary. "Why did she have no hair down there?"
"Rosey," she said punching me in the arm "where are you, girl? I said, Macbeth must have felt really bad that he couldn't even say Amen to the prayer."
"Yeah," I said, absent minded, rubbing my arm.
"OK, what's on your mind. You are certainly not here with me at the moment." Mary demanded smiling at me "Out with it!"
"Ah, I was thinking about you flashing the boys after PE. They were so rude not averting their eyes."
"Well you didn't look elsewhere either." Mary teased.
I blushed and looked away from Mary. "I; well: it's just that you were showing a bit more than just your panties. I could see your lips; and they were bald. What all that about!" I whispered as my blush deepened.
Mary burst out laughing, "Ah. Well that explains a lot. A few weeks ago I was passing Noah's room and heard him on the phone talking to one of his friends about Judith's bald pussy and how it gave her an amazing smooth camel toe. You know Judith, the cheerleader that used to date John. I must admit, that when I first heard him I thought what a sinful thing to do. You know removing all your hair. I was waiting for the bolt of lightning from God for thinking about another girl's pussy but it never came. So after a couple of weeks of thinking about it, I thought that I might try to tidy mine up a bit by pulling. You know the bikini line area so that I don't have embarrassing hairs growing outside my swimsuit. But once I got started I couldn't stop, it was kind of liberating. I was almost like my aunt Julie with Trichotillomania. Maybe it's hereditary this hair pulling." She laughed again.
"But don't you feel cold or wrong touching, you know, down there" I said blushing again.
"Nope. In fact, I really like it. It feels no different having hair and it's certainly easier to keep clean." She replied "And it's now, what I consider part of my personal hygiene".
"And so what was with the lips showing." I asked.
"I didn't realise. I guess it was PE puc that I forgot to pull out. I was going to do it before I went to class, but it started to feel rather nice. It was a sensation that I had never felt before. My panties rubbing down there." Mary replied. "I really felt funny someone looking at it though. There was a warm tingling feeling from here" she said pointing to her lower tummy. "And it seemed to spread lower. Around here." She said pointing between her legs.
"I got that same feeling," I said "seeing your lips and panties. Mum always said that anything about down there is sinful. But if it's a sin, why does it feel like a good tingling?" Over the years I had seen Mary naked many times while growing up, changing for bed, swimming or bathing together and had never felt anything like that before. Why was this so different?
"Can I tell you something that you can't tell anyone else?" Mary asked
"Of course you can" I replied, I am your best friend "You know that anything you say, will stay with just me".
"You promise?" she paused. I nodded my head, and crossed my heart. "Well, in the bath the other day I was just checking to see if there were any hairs that needed to be pulled, and I was opening my lips looking everywhere. I began to get those tingles again and an ache down there that was incredible. My lips started to swell a bit as I looked and moved them about. After a bit of this I noticed there was a little lump sticking out and I touched it. It felt so good that I wanted to keep touching it," she paused looking around "but it's a sin right?"
"You touched yourself? You played with yourself?" I replied in shocked disbelief "That is a sin." My mum had always told me that it was bad. But why did I feel excited at the thought of it. The tingling had come back in earnest.
"Please don't tell anyone" Mary pleaded.
