Chapter Eighteen
Relations between Elizabeth and her uptight roommate Alicia continued to worsen and Elizabeth found herself happy every time Alicia would leave to visit her boyfriend. When Alicia was around, Elizabeth found herself hanging out in Marie’s room more and more, quickly bonding with the free spirit.
One Thursday night, Elizabeth sat in her room, her eyes glossing over a physics textbook. She had nearly fallen asleep from boredom when she heard a knock on the door and turned to see Marie poking her head in the room.
“Psst! I have some good weed. Wanna go smoke it?”
“Anything to get out of physics. Maybe it will actually help me understand this stuff.”
“Come on, follow me, I know a place we can go.”
The two girls made their way out into the cool fall evening. Marie led the way to a small densely wooded area near the dorms.
“I come here to smoke up every now and then. Its my quiet happy spot. No one should bother us here,” she commented as she pulled out a pipe and began lighting up.
The two girls began taking hits off the pipe and laughing about the uptight Alicia.
“I wonder who put the bug up her butt,” laughed Marie.
“I don’t know. I’m just counting down the days when I don’t have to live with her anymore.”
“I like you Elizabeth, we should be roommates next year.”
“Thanks, I like you too Marie,” smiled Elizabeth. “ I’d love being your roomie.”
“If we’re going to be roommates,” continued Marie, “I should let you in on a secret. I’m not quite the successful artist I make myself out to be. You know how I said my work was shown last year? It was shown in the high school art fair. I didn’t even win a ribbon.” She laughed. “I’m kind of a failure actually. And I have no idea what I’m doing here.”
Elizabeth gave her friend a reassuring hug. “I don’t know what I’m doing either. I don’t think anyone here does. You sure seemed confident though.”
“Thanks,” said Marie with a sigh. “Really, I’m just here to get away from my folks. They were so overbearing. They want me to become a lawyer. They think I’m wasting my time with art.”
“I think your art is wonderful,” beamed Elizabeth.
“Thanks,” said Marie as she turned and smiled at Elizabeth. “You’re so easy to open up to. You have a warm heart. I feel like I can tell you anything. I hope you feel the same way about me.”
“Well,” laughed Elizabeth. “I guess I can tell you a few secrets about myself.”
Was she ready to open up to her new friend? Would Marie still accept her or would she think Elizabeth was some weird sexual deviant? Elizabeth was about to find out.
“Go on,” said Marie. “You can tell me anything.”
“Well, remember when I posed for you in the nude and the curtains came down? That’s not the first time I’ve ever been naked in front of an audience before,” began Elizabeth.
“You’ve posed nude before?”
“Not exactly. Back in high school, I was a bit of a closet nudist. Actually, it wasn’t really a big secret after awhile. I frequently enjoyed being naked in public areas.”
Elizabeth went on to describe her many adventures in high school, from the time she streaked her neighborhood, to the time she streaked graduation. Telling her story felt like unloading a huge burden and revealing her true self to her new friend. It also was quite arousing to recount her experiences and tell them to someone else.
“Wow,” laughed Marie in disbelief. “I had no idea you were such a wild child. I should have known though! You seemed all too comfortable posing nude, and you even seemed to enjoy it when those curtains fell!”
The two girls laughed and Elizabeth breathed a sigh of relief, happy that her friend Marie had accepted her, rather than shunning her.
“So….why did you stop in high school?” asked Marie.
“Well, I kind of wanted to start a new life in college. And there’s just too much at risk now. My reputation, my academic career. Its time for me to grow up and start thinking about my future.”
“Nonsense!” laughed Marie. “College is a time for experimentation and self-exploration! It’s the time for you to learn about yourself and to take bold risks. Besides, even if you get caught doing something stupid, people understand. Its what college kids do!”
Elizabeth considered Marie’s argument. Maybe it would be okay to indulge in a nude adventure or two in college? Maybe that nude campus run might be a possibility?
“Besides, you said that the nude adventures bolstered your confidence. Well ever since I’ve met you you’ve been quite the meek wallflower. I want to see this bold, brash Elizabeth you speak of! Don’t you want to recapture that confidence you developed in high school?”
Marie was right. Since going to college and ending her nude adventures, Elizabeth had lost a lot of the confidence she had gained in high school. Still, her nude adventures were awfully risky. Shouldn’t she find another way to gain confidence?
“I’m glad you told me your secret Elizabeth,” continued Marie. “I think we can have some fun with it.”
“Oh boy, just what do you have in mind?”
“We’ll see,” said Marie with a sly smile. “We’ll see.”
That Sunday morning, Elizabeth was trying to study physics once again when Marie popped her head in the door.
“Morning sunshine,” she sang.
“Hey, you’re up early,” replied Elizabeth with a smile.
“I have to work on a project. Do you mind posing for me?” asked Marie.
“Sure. I need to get away from these books for awhile. Do you need me nude?”
“Yep.”
“That’s fine. I’ll meet you in your room in a minute.”
“Actually, you won’t be posing in my room,” replied Marie with a smirk.
“Uh, what do you mean?”
Marie pulled a sundress out from behind her back. “Put this on,” she said.
“Uh, why? I thought you said you needed a nude model.”
“I do. You’re going to pose naked at the library,” laughed Marie.
“What? No way. Look, I know I said I had nude adventures in high school, but I don’t think I’m ready to do them in college. Besides, at the library we’ll get busted for sure. Have you gone crazy?”
“Look, my assignment is to take photos of things that are out of place. We’re examining the juxtaposition of objects that should not be there. What is more out of place than a naked woman in a library? It will be great!” giggled Marie.
“Yea, but what about people studying? What about the librarians?
“If you go in the upper levels of the library there is no one there. That’s where everyone goes to have risque sex! It will be completely empty on a Sunday morning! Now, put this on, it will be easier to pull off and on when we take the pictures.”
Marie handed her the dress as Elizabeth considered whether or not she should proceed. She had told herself she was no longer going to engage in nude adventures. But Marie’s plan did seem pretty safe, and it was awfully tempting to be naked in the school library. Why did she reveal her secret to Marie! She was even better than her old friend Sarah at egging Elizabeth on!
“Okay, I’ll do it, but please, let’s be careful!”
“Of course!” replied Marie. With that she pulled out another sundress and smiled. “I can’t let you have all the fun!”
The two girls, dressed in sundresses and nothing more, made their way across the quiet campus to the front steps of the library. They entered the front doors of the old, stoic building and passed a stern looking librarian who warned them to “hush” as they giggled their way to the elevators. As they rode up the elevator to the seldom-used tenth floor, a nervous pit began to form in Elizabeth’s stomach. She was nervous with anticipation with what they were about to do. It had been so long since she had been on a nude adventure! She was excited but scared at the risk that they would get caught in the library.
“Are you sure you want to do this?” asked Marie.
Elizabeth took in a deep breath and felt the cold air of the library surround the nakedness underneath her dress. “I want to do this. It will be good for my confidence to be nude in public again,” she said with a smile.
Finally the reached the tenth floor and stepped out to into the quiet racks of books. Not a single soul stirred, and only dusty publications from centuries ago welcomed them. At the far end was a huge window that overlooked the entire commons area on campus. The sun shone in through the window and illuminated an otherwise dreary and drab surrounding.
“Wow, there isn’t anyone at all up here,” remarked Marie. She went over to the window and peered out. “In fact, the entire campus looks dead. I guess everyone’s still sleeping off last night’s activities.”
Marie and Elizabeth inspected the room to make sure it was truly vacant.
“No one’s here,” exclaimed Marie as she flipped her dress off revealing her naked body. “Time to strip!”
Elizabeth was stunned at how quickly Marie had gotten naked and she admired how bold she was. She also admired Marie’s naked body in the morning light wafting in through the window. It was enough to get her nipples hard as well.
“Well, are you going to strip or what?”
Elizabeth smiled and pulled the flimsy sundress over her head, revealing her naked body to Marie. The cool air felt exquisite on her bare skin and she felt naughty for being naked in a school building. She really wanted to touch herself, but did not think that would be appropriate to do in front of Marie.
Marie took out her camera and began snapping away. “Just walk around like being naked is no big deal,” she instructed Elizabeth.
“No problem,” thought Elizabeth who had once casually walked around her neighborhood at night. She strolled to the closest rack of books and began inspecting them, as if her nudity was no big deal. She was amused to find one of the books was a book from the 1950s entitled “Exhibitionism: A Case Study in Sexual Deviants and Mental Disease.” Elizabeth chuckled at the fact that she had been infected with this “mental disease.” She danced over to the window and peered out towards campus as Marie snapped even more photographs. Anyone with a keen eye looking up at the tenth floor window of the library would see an attractive young college student completely naked. However, not a soul stirred in the commons area, and campus looked as still as death. How Elizabeth longed to walk across that campus in her naked state!
“Turn towards me, but keep your head facing the window away from me,” instructed Marie. Elizabeth really appreciated Marie’s eye, and how comfortable she made Elizabeth feel during their shoots.
“Great work!” exclaimed Marie excitedly. “Now walk towards the stairs, and I’ll shoot you from behind. You have such a great figure!”
Elizabeth felt so sexy and confident walking around naked. Marie really knew how to make a model feel like a superstar. Elizabeth stuck out her chest and strode confidently towards the stairs as Marie’s camera flashed away. Elizabeth felt so sexy. The confidence she developed in high school was really beginning to come back. Just then, the stairwell door opened, and an Indian student stood in the doorway with a stack of books in his arms. He took a look at the completely naked girl in front of him, dropped all of the books and gasped, “Oh my goodness!”
Elizabeth stood motionless, paralyzed in shock. What the heck was this guy doing here on a Sunday morning? No one ever came to the tenth floor! The student just stood there staring at Elizabeth’s naked body, from her ample breasts to her bare ass.
“Elizabeth, here!” shouted Marie as she tossed Elizabeth a sundress. Elizabeth came to her senses and quickly put it on as the two girls dashed past the stunned man in front of them and flew down the stairwell.
“Oh my god, did you see the expression on his face?” giggled Elizabeth.
“I should have taken a picture of that! He looked horrified!” shrieked Marie.
They made their way to the bottom of the stairwell and back out into the library lobby. The cold librarian at the front desk once again gave them a disapproving frown. Elizabeth ran in front of the front desk, turned away and lifted her dress. The librarian looked up from her filing to see a bare ass staring her right in the face! Elizabeth howled in laughter at her mooning and sprinted with Marie out the door as the librarian scowled in disgust.
“You’re like a totally different person once you get naked!” proclaimed Marie.
“I guess so. I feel so alive right now. I can’t believe I ever wanted to suppress this side of me,” replied Elizabeth as she flung off her dress again and danced across the common area naked as the day she was born. Marie just stood back in disbelief.
“I think I’ve created a monster,” she muttered to herself in amusement.
