I think this all happened in the autumn of my freshman year at Oceanview U. in California. I was living in a home stay with an American family, Loretta and her two kids, while my best friend, another Japanese woman named Satomi, was living on campus in a dormitory. Satomi was not really a party person, but maybe she just hadn't gotten into it yet. She's a real cutie with exotic eyes, sultry lips, a tiny nose, a milky complexion, the brown highlights in her dyed hair shining, but even so, she hadn't had much luck finding a boyfriend since coming to Oceanview a year or two before. Guys would hit on her, hit on us both, but I guess she was looking for a certain type of guy, a guy with a pure heart. I had a boyfriend of sorts, Ryosuke. Maybe his heart isn't so pure, but he's nice enough most of the time.
That year, whenever I was free, I'd drop by at Satomi's dorm, and get her to come out, and do stuff. Her dorm was co-ed. There were an awful lot of interesting guys there.
One guy was Josh. He was a year or two above us, Anglo-American I guess, with sandy brown hair and a healthy surfer-like glow. The three of us were eating in the dining hall one day, and got to talking. I don't think he was hitting on us (Maybe he was. Who knows?), but he did mention that there was a toga party that night.
"A toga? That's like a pareo, is it?" I asked, trying to recall if I had anything like that at home.
"It's Roman, like a long white gown," he explained. "You can buy toga costumes, but most of us will be making our own."
"How do you make one?"
"The dorm has sheets..."
"But how do you get it to stay up?" I persisted. Josh just laughed, and joked,
"Will power" and "Saliva."
Satomi looked doubtful, but I thought it sounded like fun. I like dressing up, and the whole dorm would likely be there. This was our chance to get to know people.
After supper, Satomi and I went back to her room. Satomi did have a few fresh sheets. I tried to look up how to make a toga. For Satomi's, we used one sheet to make a wrap-around skirt, and another sheet to make a sort of tube top, fastening them with safety pins. She wanted to wear a bra, but the straps would show, so I finally talked her into going without. We tied her hair back, and added some flowers. She looked good, like a Greek goddess (Well, maybe not exactly, but you get the idea).
For my toga, we only had one sheet left. I took off my jeans and t-shirt. You could see my bra too, so I ended up taking that off. I hung the sheet over one shoulder, and pulled it together at the other side, but we were out of safety pins, so I had to use a bobby pin instead. Satomi looked doubtful. My left shoulder was completely bare, and you could see a bit of the slope of my breast, but it was more decent than I thought it would be. I had on white lace bikini panties that day, so it wouldn't be so bad even if people got a peek through the gap at the side. Satomi helped me tie my hair back. I wore my small purse, and borrowed a pair of Satomi's sandals.
When we were finally ready, we went out into the hall. I felt so nervous. I could feel the air on my bare skin, reminding me of how naked I was. It was so weird wandering the halls of her dorm with so little on.
The main party was in the auditorium in the basement. We went down, got some punch, and looked around. A fair number of people were dancing. I didn't really know anyone besides Satomi and Josh, but two guys came over, and asked us to dance. Satomi was reluctant. We both had to be careful to keep our togas straight, but I convinced her to give it a try.
I wasn't really sure how western people dance at that point. I mean I'd see videos of Beyonce, and I know some of the Japanese dance steps (party monster?), but these guys just kind of held out their arms, and moved this way and that.
My partner leaned over, and suggested the two of us go for a walk. I was kind of surprised. I didn't even know the guy, and I also felt guilty because I hadn't invited Ryosuke to come. I excused myself, and went out into the hallway. Satomi saw, and came after me. We just kind of left those two guys standing there, but anyway, I was too new to all of this to know what you are supposed to do. I went all the way around the corner, and then, called Ryosuke on my smartphone.
He was out with his friend Futoshi and them playing pool. I kind of wanted him to come, so I told him about our togas.
"Are you wearing any underwear?" he asked, curious. Satomi was right there, so I went further down the hall, so she wouldn't hear. I told him,
"I have on my panties, but I took off my bra."
"Nice. Sounds delish!"
My face was getting hot.
"Emi, take off your panties too," Ryosuke insisted.
"What?"
"The toga is covering everything, isn't it?"
"Yes, but..."
"Promise me you'll do it."
I grimaced, nervous. I mean it's all well and good to fool around together, but he wasn't even here!
"Ryosuke, I don't think..."
"Oh, say you'll do it."
Reluctantly, I ducked into the ping pong room, and slid my hand under the toga, checking my panties. I will admit I was kind of excited by that point, from wandering around in this flimsy sheet in front of all these hunky college guys.
"I... uh..." I peeked around the corner. Satomi was playing with her own phone. I pulled my phone closer, and whispered,
"Are you sure? There are a lot of people here, and I'll be naked under the toga."
"That'll be the fun part. No one has to find out."
I wasn't so sure. You could already see part of my breast, and this stupid bobby pin wasn't exactly secure. Maybe I could get away with it just for a little bit. There was no one in the ping pong room at least. Still unsure, I reluctantly stuck my thumbs in the waistband of my panties, and yanked them down and off. The feeling though was a lot worse than I expected. The air rushed in, nipping at my pussy. I could feel myself getting wet from the excitement. Even if people can't see anything, just the feeling was winding me up something fierce.
"Anyway, I did it. Hurry up, and come. I need a bodyguard."
"OK, I'll be there as soon as I can."
"OK. See you soon." I stuffed my panties and smartphone into my purse. The sheet kept brushing against my bare bottom giving me goosebumps. In my flustered state, I somehow knocked the bobby pin loose, causing my toga to fall open at the side. Out in the hall, I could hear Satomi talking with someone. The boys we'd been dancing with? I couldn't find the bobby pin though. It didn't seem to be on the sheet, nor on the floor.
I began to shake the sheet out, hoping the pin would fall, and jingle when it hit the floor. Without the sheet covering me, I really was naked! I got down on my hands and knees, feeling on the cold cement floor for this pin. I kept losing the sheet, getting more and more nervous and excited from crawling around naked. I kept worrying someone would peek into this room, and see me here with my bare hiney stuck in the air. I was getting so excited.
Eventually, I checked the sheet again, and there the pin was, hooked onto one of the edges. I was so relieved. I stood back up, and tried to fasten the toga back into place. I managed, but I was so wired. I had to take a few deep breaths to try to calm down.
When I finally went out into the hall, I found Satomi talking with two other boys.
"Oh, Emi, this is Kevin, and this is Hector. They're freshmen too."
Kevin was Chinese American, slender, short with big round glasses that magnified his eyes. Hector was Latino, Colombian, big, heavyset but mild and modest. They seemed geeky, kind of shy, and a lot less forward that the boy I'd danced with. It was nice to meet some calmer types.
I was still worried about my lack of undies, but they were both pretty funny. Hector looked vaguely Roman in his toga, but he had these big thick grey socks on under his sandals. He joked about his lack of fashion sense. Kevin's parents wanted him to go into medicine, but he wanted to be a writer. I felt sympathy for him. It must be tough if you want to do something artistic, but your parents want you to do something else.
"I'm hungry," Hector lisped. "Want to go grab a pizza?"
Satomi nodded that she wanted to go with them, and wanted me to come. I think they live in the same 'house' she does, so they all know each other. I had to meet Ryosuke, but Satomi kept motioning for me to come. I guess I can call Ryosuke back, and tell him where we are. I nodded a reluctant yes, and the four of us headed out. Once we were outside, the air felt even colder on my naked skin. My toga kept blowing up in the wind, so I had to use both hands to keep it down. I wasn't really used to walk around campus wearing so little.
"What's wrong?" Satomi asked.
