Chapter Twelve
The school year came to a close and Elizabeth said her goodbyes to her classmates. Elizabeth was planning on attending a small, liberal arts school upstate, while most of her class was going to the state school. Elizabeth's best friend Sarah was one of those going to state school with her brother Jack.
"I'm really going to miss you next year Sarah."
"Yea, it won't be the same at State University without you. You would certainly liven things up!"
"You don't need me anymore to liven things up Sarah," said Elizabeth with a smile. "You're plenty of fun on your own!"
"I'm not sure I have I'll have the courage to go on naked adventures without you," laughed Sarah.
Sarah had brought up a good point. Elizabeth had really enjoyed the few times she had gotten Sarah to go on naked stunts with her. With Sarah far away at state school, Elizabeth would have no one to go on adventure with. And in a new city, at a new school, could she even dare to go on any naked adventures? Perhaps her days of public nudity would have to come to an end. It was time to grow up and put her childish behavior behind her. It would be reckless to jeopardize her collegiate career because of some sexual urges.
"I promise, when we get together after school is out, we'll spend the entire summer naked!" laughed Elizabeth.
------
Graduation day soon approached. Elizabeth looked at her graduation robe hanging on her closet door. It would be her last high school function. The last day she would have to spend with most of these guys. She reflected upon all the growth she had experienced the last few years. She thought about how she had come out of her shell, with the help of Sarah, but also with the help of her nude adventures. She doubted she would be the confident woman she was had it not been for her desires to be seen naked in public. She thought about all her crazy adventures, from streaking her neighborhood, to undressing at Sarah's house, to wandering around the school naked. She had flashed a pizza guy, dropped her top at a public pool, and gone naked through a fast food drive through window. She had gotten naked at a college frat party (losing her virginity in the process) and streaked her entire school. She had walked around her grandmother's farm naked, stripped naked at a high school party and walked the streets of her neighborhood completely naked. She had really come out of her shell!
Sadly, it seemed as though her naked experiences would have to come to an end in college. Elizabeth sighed and looked at her robe. At least she could experience being naked outdoors one last time - sort of. She decided she would continue the long tradition of wearing nothing underneath her graduation robe. She quickly undressed and slipped her graduation robe on. It was black and you could not tell at all that Elizabeth was completely naked underneath. It flowed as she walked, and she felt practically naked despite the fact she would look totally dressed to observers. She happily skipped downstairs to meet her parents.
Elizabeth got to school as the students began to line up for graduation. Parents began to fill the stadium bleachers and the band began to warm up with "Pomp and Circumstance."
"I can't believe we're finally graduating!" exclaimed Sarah as she met up with Elizabeth in line.
"I'm so ready to be out of this school!" replied Elizabeth.
"I'm so nervous being in front of all those people Lizzie!"
"You know, you were completely naked in front of all of them last fall!"
"Yea, but that was different, they didn't know it was me!"
Elizabeth laughed and looked fondly on her best friend. She was really going to miss Sarah and she hoped they would remain lifelong friends despite the distance.
"Ohmigod, I have to pee so bad. Come to the ladies room with me!" said Sarah.
Elizabeth looked in the mirror while Sarah found a stall. She found a beautiful, confident woman looking back at her. She was a far cry from the shrinking violet she had been just two years before.
"I thought for sure you were going to streak graduation Elizabeth," yelled Sarah from the stall.
"Streak graduation? I'm not that dumb," replied Elizabeth.
"Why not? You'll have your diploma. What can they do to you? I saw some girl did it in California*"
Elizabeth thought about what it would be like to streak graduation. To have all her teachers, all the students, all the parents looking at her completely naked. It was quite a turn-on. It was also insane. Even if she had her diploma in her hand, they could still probably take it from her or let her college know about her stunt. The cops would probably arrest her. The town would probably laugh at her. And her parents would probably disown her.
"Some naked adventures are better left to be fantasies Sarah," replied Elizabeth.
"Yea, I suppose so," said Sarah as she emerged from the stall to fix her hair in the mirror.
"If it makes you feel any better, I'm not wearing anything underneath my robe," proclaimed Elizabeth as she lifted her robe to show Sarah her nude body.
"Elizabeth! You are going to streak aren't you! I knew it!"
"No, no, I really can't. That would be asking for too much trouble. But at least I can kinda be naked, but not be naked. Besides, its time to move on now that we'll be in college soon."
"I guess. I just thought you'd go out on a bang. Like that girl in Vermont that gave her valedictorian speech naked. What a way to go!"
Elizabeth laughed. Maybe it was good Sarah was going to be so far away for college. She was too good at egging Elizabeth on!
Both Elizabeth and Sarah both got back in line as the students began to make their way on stage to get their diplomas. Elizabeth looked out at the crowd and saw her parents, dressed so conservatively. They had been good parents, but distant parents, and always quite stiff. They never seemed to let her have much freedom as a child.
She looked at her classmates and she saw Mark Walters, the jerk who had dumped her. What an intolerant creep he had turned out to be. She looked at some of the popular girls at school who had made fun of her long ago when she was a nobody, now acted nice to her to her face while they spread vicious gossip about her behind her back. All of these people would soon be a distant memory once she had that diploma.
Elizabeth began to make her way on stage, her name soon to be called. She thought about how a thin sheet of fabric was the only thing keeping the crowd of over a thousand people from seeing her naked body. The thought of all those eyes on her began to turn her on. A puff of wind blew past her, and up her robe, gently breezing between her legs, only adding to her excitement. She thought about that girl brave enough to give a valedictorian speech in the nude. Would Elizabeth have ever had the audacity to pull off a stunt like that? She thought about the graduation streaker in California. What a great feeling that must have been. Imagining those scenes began to really arouse Elizabeth and her head was nearly swimming.
"Elizabeth?"
"Huh?"
"Your diploma?"
Her principal was standing before her with a diploma in his hand, apparently waiting for her to come to her senses and graduate already. She walked up and grabbed her diploma and turned to her parents now happily snapping photos of her. She began to walk off the stage when she turned and looked at the cheering crowd. Thousands of eyes all upon her. Her heart began to pound. She wasn't even consciously aware that her hands had reached back and were unzipping the back of her robe. It was like she was having an out-of-body experience. Her fingers slid the zipper to the base of her back. She couldn't even stop herself. Inside her mind she was saying "NO! STOP LIZZIE!" but her hands continued almost in slow motion. She slipped the robe off her shoulders and it fell to the ground.
She was completely naked in front of her entire school.
Immediately, shrieks came from the crowd. Had she gone completely insane? Her skin felt like someone had set it on fire. "She's naked!" she heard someone exclaim. She looked back at her principal who looked completely flabbergasted, as if he had seen a ghost. Elizabeth grinned and made a mad dash for the exit.
"Go Lizzie!" yelled a classmate as Elizabeth sped past the line of graduating seniors.
No one even bothered to stop Elizabeth as she ran from the stadium out to the parking lot. She got to the parking lot before she realized she had absolutely no plan as to what do next. She had gotten so caught up in the moment that she had just acted, without planning. All her usual stunts had been done with careful preparation, but here she was, naked in the parking lot, her robe still on stage with no ideas of what to do next.
"What the hell have I just done?" cried Elizabeth as she began to panic.
