Mary and Jenny bounded up the steps of a local tech college. The two weren't at their usual school today because they were attending a special art class. Mary didn't have any sort of artistic skill, but she was there to assist Jenny with something.
Mary had an extra bounce to her step, as she was filled with nervous energy. Jenny wasn't so much looking for help with the actual drawing part of the class, but rather a type of performance. Jenny had a crazy plan that would set herself up to being a nude model for the class.
The two had talked about the plan for a few weeks. Jenny had made arrangements with the model who was scheduled to show up. Then, when it seemed like there would be no model, Mary was to nominate Jenny to do it.
"Are you absolutely sure though, I mean, they all know you," Mary whispered as they navigated the halls of the building.
"Well, it's going to be very embarrassing I'll admit. Yet you know it's not easy to choose between letting strangers see you naked, and letting people you know and trust see you naked," Jenny responded. Though Jenny's face was red, Mary's grew redder. Somehow, even though Jenny was supposed to be the one on show, she still managed to embarrass. Mary knew Jenny was right, both types of voyeurs were embarrassing.
"Besides, it'll be maybe a little flattering. The people in there are professionals or at least professionals in training. Will be a little nice to see what beauty they may find in me," Jenny added. Though Jenny was giving a brave act, Mary could still see signs of nervousness.
They arrived to the room, and a few people were already setting up their tools. Jenny did the same, while showing Mary around the room. The room was lined with cabinets of supplies. Tables and easels made a perimeter around a circular dais that was raised in the center of the room.
Jenny offered to let Mary climb up on the platform. Mary felt a bit silly for joining Jenny up there on the small stage. She suddenly began to picture what it might be like for Jenny soon, to be naked there and having a crowd of eyes on her. The thought alone made Mary shiver.
As more people came to the room, Jenny and Mary took their seats. Jenny had her own easel to work from and Mary took a seat at a table next to her. Though Mary was just there to help get things moving, Jenny still told her some basics. Primarily it was about the schedule and how a model will do a pose or two, and then a break, and repeat the process till class was done. Jenny even made sure Mary had some basic supplies to draw something. The two didn't want it to seem like Mary was just there for alterative motives.
"Ok class, has anyone heard from Melody? She was supposed to be here fifteen minutes ago," said the woman rushing into the room. Mary figured she was the teacher. Everyone kind of looked at each other, not sure what was going on.
"OH, I just got a text, Teach, it's from Melody. She said something came up and she can't make it!" one of the other students said. Mary knew that was planned as well, having the scheduled model inform the class at the last second. Mary was impressed with how good Jenny was at planning.
"Oh dear, then I'm not sure what we're going to do. I suppose we can do some other exercises for class instead. I'm sorry about this everyone," the teacher explained. No one seemed mad or that upset about the events, it was an understandable situation; Mary knew that was her cue. She took a deep breath, ready to put on the best show she could.
"Um, I'm new here, but I think maybe Jenny could model for us," Mary bluntly offered. There was silence, and eyes narrowed in on Jenny. Jenny herself was already blushing, giving Mary a fake death stare.
"Mary, shush! I can't!" Jenny said. Mary knew there was supposed to be some resistance, and so, Mary did her best to follow the plan as best she could.
"When I was starting off, you did it for me. You can model naked for everyone too," Mary announced. It was partially a lie that Jenny had posed naked for artistic purposes, but it was partially true since Mary had seen Jenny naked multiple times.
"Shut up, that was different, that was just you..." Jenny scanned the other eyes in the room and quickly recoiled seeing that she was the center of attention. Mary could tell Jenny was trying to suppress a smile.
Mary was emboldened in pushing Jenny because she knew she'd win. Normally she would never be so bold, especially in front of people. "You've got nothing to be shy about Jenny, you look great. Besides, everyone here does need a model. Would that be ok if she did it?" Mary asked everyone in the room.
People were silent. No one probably wanted to seem rude to demand that she strip naked. However, the teacher did speak up, "Well, if you would be willing to do that Jenny, we would appropriately pay you."
Jenny appeared indecisive, "I don't know..." Jenny bit her lip and then locked eyes with Mary. "Ok, I'll do it, but Mary has to join me!" Jenny announced.
Mary's heart skipped a beat. She wasn't sure she heard Jenny right. "What?"
Jenny was still red in the face, but she got off her stool and stood next to Mary. "Come on, if I do it, you have to do it too. I'm not brave enough to do this on my own!"
Mary was lost; she wasn't sure what to do anymore. Jenny was changing the plan. Was Jenny actually serious? "I, I can't get naked in front of everyone here!"
"Now you know how I feel!" Jenny taunted back. Mary was feeling like things were flipping on their side. The two were being looked at now, no one chiming in to offer any help. Mary was sure she wasn't going to do it. Before Mary could give another firm denial, Jenny butted in, "So, Teach, is that ok if she joins me too? I mean the other times we've had two models it's been useful. I just, I would be so shy on my own."
Again, Mary wanted to say something, but this time the teacher interrupted her, "Girls, you most certainly can both model if you'd like. You don't even have to be naked; you can keep your underwear on. I would be happy to pay both of you as well."
Mary didn't care about the money. She didn't want to show anything to a bunch of strangers in a room! She didn't want to let them just stare at her as she would have to pose for them! Jenny knew Mary wasn't up for it yet, so she took command. She leaned in towards Mary's ear, "Please, just let's talk about this in private, just play along a bit more."
Mary wasn't so sure, but she accepted Jenny's plea for the time being. The teacher turned to a cabinet and grabbed two robes from it. "You girls can go get changed then. You can take your time; we really appreciate what you're doing."
With that all said, Jenny grabbed the robes and Mary by the wrist, and led her out of the room. Mary's face was red and she was speechless. Her naked body was offered up to all of them by Jenny. She wondered just how many of them were now picturing her naked!
Jenny didn't say anything either, but it was clear she was no longer nervous, and instead very excited. The two made a short trip down the hall and retreated into the girls' bathroom.
