Will checked his watch, he was dead on time, nervously tapped on the door. "Come in," someone yelled from the other side of the door.
Entering Will was greeted by Mrs Johnson the art teacher. "Thanks for doing this William. I really appreciate it, and I know Laura will too when she finally gets here. Have a seat for a second, I am just trying to sort out the room."
Taking a seat by a paint crusted desk, Will checked his phone. He had a text from Laura saying she was running late and would be there soon. The text gave Will butterflies in his stomach. He could not believe that Laura was texting him. Will had fancied Laura since as long as he could remember, back when they were in nursery together, he reckoned. Although he knew her for years, Will had never really been her friend, she was one of the popular girls too pretty to be seen with the skinny ginger kid. But this was their final year in school before they went off to different university, perhaps never to see each other again. Will was determined to final make his move on Laura, even if it just meant being friends. Besides Laura had a boyfriend, Danny one of the equally popular football boys. Just being friends would have to be good for Will. He was happy with that. Laura just texting him made his heart beat a little faster.
So, when Will had seen on Laura's Facebook that she desperately needed a models for her art portfolio to get into university, he jumped at the chance to speak to her. The comments on the post were mostly girls offering to be Laura's model, but there was also a flood of comments from lads taking the piss out of the girls, saying that they would take up art if they could sit in and see them naked. Mostly it was just flirtatious banter, but Laura made the stern point that she did not want any of her models to get nude, she did not need them to. So, when Will read that he knew he had to offer himself as a model to Laura.
Will could still feel the nervousness he felt when sending Laura the message. He had deleted it and rewrote it at least five time. In the end he took the plunge and sent his message. Laura replied back straight away. She was really happy that Will wanted to be an art model for her, she only had girls wanting to model and so it would be really good to have a male model. Will was overjoyed that he had made Laura happy, and could wait to model for her. Laura organised with him a date to meet in the art class during the school day when neither of them had lessons. It had to be a few weeks away because Laura had to get through all the girls that had offered their modelling services first. This did not bother Will, and he was excited just to be talking to Laura. Although now he sat in the art class with Mrs Johnson waiting for her to arrive, Will was starting to get very nervous.
"You are the last model on Laura's long list Will. We have had a ton of girls, so its really good to have a boy at last. Laura's work is really good but it will be interesting to see how she copes with the male physique," chuckled Mrs Johnson as she moved desks and chairs out of the way to create an open space in front of a small stage. "Have you ever modelled before William?"
"Never. My first time," answer Will.
"You'll pick it up quickly. It is easy if you are comfortable in your own skin and don't mind an achy arm or two," laughed Mrs Johnson. She was plump happy middle-aged teacher always making jokes and laughing.
After a few more minutes Laura burst in just as Mrs Johnson had finished moving the class around. She gave Will a smile, which made his face quickly burn red. "Good timing Laura, I have just set everything up for you. I will just lock the door, to make sure no one bursts in on Will. Give you some privacy," chuckled Mrs Johnson.
Will thought the comment was odd. He was just going to be standing or sitting in a pose. Why did he need privacy? With the door locked and Laura setting up her easel in front of the small stage, Mrs Johnson turned to Will and said, "You can get changed now if you want Will. Did you pick a robe for yourself or did you want to borrow one of mind?"
Robe? Will was confused, and his face must have shown it as Mrs Johnson carried on, "You know? So you can strip down and model for us."
Strip down!? Will was really confused now. Why did he need to strip down? Laura said that she did not want the models to be nude. Will's face burnt even more red for confusion and embarrassment. Unable to get his words out. His eyes darted between the two people in front of him. "Ah damn! Sorry Will I forgot to message you about this. Me and Mrs Johnson were talking the other day and we think that I really need to get into the habit of drawing nudes. As good as I am at drawing people in clothes, I really need to work on my form. Plus most of the models in uni will be nude anyway, so I need to get used to it. You don't mind do you? It's no big deal really, Jane from history class posed nude for us yesterday and she said that she really enjoyed the experience. Besides it only us three in here."
Ten thousand questions and thoughts run into Will's head all at once. It was bad enough that they wanted him to pose nude, but to do it front of your crush and your teacher. It was unthinkable to Will. He had to get out of this. Will tried to strutter out an excuse but the words got caught in the bad of his thought, until Mrs Johnson spoke to save him, "You should have given the boy some warning Laura. Look you have made him a blubbering mess! I tell you what Will, why don't we take thinks slow? Start with a few clothed poses and see how comfortable we are as we go along?"
Will still wanted to refuse and leave the classroom. But then he looked at Laura's face and knew he had to stay, give it a go at least. He agreed and Mrs Johnson soon had him standing on the stage, in his jacket, jeans and trainers. Clothes that Will had picked out specially in hopes that they would impress Laura. Will was instructed to do a few different quick poses, to hold them for a minute and which to something else. At first Will was really nervous and did not know if he was doing the right thing. But with a bit of encourage from Laura and Mrs Johnson, and Will was in his element doing lots of exciting poses and stretches. Mrs Johnson asked him to remove his jacket, which Will was glad to as he was getting pretty warm. Will was then instructed to do some longer 5 minute poses. After a few of those Mrs Johnson asked, "How about we remove the t-shirt Will?"
Will was nervous but he agreed. After all it was only his chest. Pulling his t-shirt off revealed his hairless flat chest and abs to the two artists. If he went to the gym Will could have a very nice muscular body, he knew. But Will was always too busy studying and playing computer games for that. He was happy with his slim body anyway. Shirtless, the room felt much cold. Looking quickly down at his chest, Will noticed that the cold air had made his small nipples erect. With this in his mind, Will did some more 5 minute poses and then they started to move into the 10 minute ones.
