"Hello Professor! Are you done with your 'preparations'?" Professor Sands walked into the room approaching us center stage.
I gave her an awkward smile to cover my shame. I was still holding on to Bridget from behind to hide my erection. "Why...yes Professor Sands. We are ready to commence."
"Superb, come along Bridget. Join your classmates in the audience, we can cut through the curtain." Bridget sadly stepped away from my grasp, revealing my embarrassing boner to Sands. The professor nodded expectingly. "Fantastic, be sure to get in front of the curtain and into your favorite pose right before it opens up. I want this to be a big presentation. All our students out there have already been provided with their drawing utensils."
Bridget gave me one last look before she slipped through the curtain to join the crowd of students that awaited me in their seats. I gave her a subtle almost imperceptible nod before we broke eye contact. Turning to Professor Sands, she eyed me with anticipation. I let out a sigh as I positioned myself before the big red curtain and assumed the humiliating position I have mastered throughout the week: elbows up, hands on the back of my head, right leg slightly bent, back of my foot raised, and erection at full attention. "Like this?" I asked glumly.
"Perfect! Now, you just wait here in that position when the curtain opens. The stage crew are on their way. I wont be long." Sands disappeared through the curtain just as Bridget did before her. Without anymore distractions I could hear the hustle and bustle of people chatting and filing into their seats from beyond the curtain. I was curious enough to take a peek outside to see what I was in for, but before I could, I heard the sound of footsteps coming from all around me. The stage crew had arrived.
I heard them coming from my left and to my right, even from up above me in the rafters. When the footsteps came to a halt, I heard a couple of gasps followed by some giggling. I could already feel their eyes upon me. Despite my internal warnings, I couldn't resist looking upward where the giggling was the loudest. On one of the big metal suspensions there was at least four different women looking down at me wearing big smiles on their faces and the same tech gear as the two girls I ran into on my way backstage. My cheeks turned pink and I looked back down. I didn't even dare look to my sides, I could already hear more and more people whispering about me from right and left stage, I didn't want to see their faces.
Wondering when Sands was finally going to open the curtain, I decided to let my arms down and stretch them so I wouldn't go stiff again. As I loosened myself, a strange man popped his head through the curtain right in front of me. His gaze fell directly on me, two feet away from my naked body. Startled, I clapped my hands over my penis, "Hey! What the hell are you doing back here!?"
The man laughed, "Ahaha! Easy there fellow. My name's Robert but you can call me Bob. I work for the Museum, I'm Judith's superior." The man had brown eyes, a bald head, and a piercing through each ear. He was also wearing a brown checkered jacket with his name tag on it just like Judith so I figured he was telling the truth.
"Well, let me ask you again, Bob, 'what the hell are you doing back here!?'"
"Professor Sands wanted me to let you know that we are about to begin. So get into position as I give the intro." He waved around a microphone in his hand.
"Understood...now get out of here!"
Bob shot me a wink before pulling himself back beyond the curtain. I let out a grunt as I re-positioned myself into my pose. Out on the stage, I heard Bob's booming voice come through the speakers, "Greetings students and cherished educators. My name is Robert Dunley, Chief Curator, but please call me Bob." There was some weak forced laughter coming from the crowd. "I can see you are all very excited to be here. Well in honor of our 'Support Education' event, our peers at Intectus Deprehendi University have provided a special treat for you. Their staff members have collaborated to provide this opportunity to be an artist yourself. At this time, I would like to thank Professor Carlene Suther of IDU's Biology department for arranging this on such short notice. I would also like to thank Professor Delia Sands, a fellow lover of the arts who has provided us with a model to make this moment possible. Now, without further ado, let us view the masterpiece!" I heard Bob's feet walk right off the stage. I let out a breath just when the curtain opened up, bathing me in bright lights.
As every spotlight in the auditorium fell on me, I had to blink my eyes until my vision adjusted. Once I could finally see clearly, my eyes turned into dinner plates at what laid before me.
There was no trick of perception, it wasn't a matter of what 'looked' big in the back stage area, the stage itself was phenomenally bigger than what I was expecting. At least twice as big as the stage from the auditorium Sands showed me and the seating arrangements were even bigger than that. Right in front of me, the rows of seats could fit at least 80 people in the aisle and the same could be said about the other two aisles diagonally to my left and to my right. The house looked packed, meaning there was at least 240 people who were now looking at me naked! The audience took a moment to drink me in, then erupted into laughter. Not that quiet fake laughter Bob got from his bad jokes, but real, loud, and genuine laughter you get from seeing a naked man on stage in front of hundreds of people.
For a moment I was shocked. The sheer intensity that came from being displayed in my birthday suit before this many people had me freeze. As the laughter persisted, I slowly looked down at myself then back at the crowded audience and every part of my body burned bright crimson red. I finally threw my hands back down over my genitals and frantically looked around me for a place to run or hide. All my options appeared to have closed off. Right stage, left stage, even above me there was groups of people gathered from the tech crew and museum staff. All of them were pointing and whistling as they saw my head dart back and forth for a retreat.
Oh my God! Oh my God! Oh my God! Oh my God! Why are there so many people here!? What the fuck is going On!? I need clothes! I need to hide! Oh my God this is so humiliating! My mind raced at the same speed as my pulse as I tried to uncover a solution to this predicament.
Obviously diving into the crowd wasn't an option so I tried to focus my sight down the walkway to see if there was an exit I could make a beeline for. Before I even got the chance, the hooting and laughter died down when a loud, booming, familiar voice came out the speakers. Listening to the message, I knew it was for me:
"HANDS TO YOUR SIDES!"
Out of muscle memory, I snapped my hands to the back of my head and reclaimed my ridiculous pose from before. You already know the owner of that voice without having me say it.
Professor Sands came walking towards me on the stage with a mic in hand. Her voice resonating through the speakers, "My sincerest apologies for our model's behavior. It seems he was caught off guard before he was ready. Perhaps a nice introduction of our model is in order? That is what we usually do to get him use to these situations. Take it away professor!" She raised the mic up to my face, but all I could focus on was the crowd of hundreds of watchful eyes upon me.
"I...um...ugh...uh..." I could barely get the words out. I didn't know what to do. My brain was on overload from all the humiliation. I broke out into a nervous sweat.
