Author: W Jason Scott Title: Philmore Academy Naked in School Program - Chapter 2 - Intro Part: Chapter 2 of 11 Summary: Natalie Scott is selected to participate in the Naked in School program at her new school, Philmore Academy Keywords: NIS, nosex, exhib, humil, teen This is just an introductory chapter to a multi-chapter novel. Trust me - the story gets much more involved as it progresses. Like every good story, it needs a good introduction to identify the main characters. If you don't want to read a story absent of sexual activities, please proceed straight to Chapter 3. This story is dedicated to Karen Wagner, who created this genre and encouraged other authors to use her theme. Friday, mid-September, the first week of the school year Over the intercom a loud voice makes an announcement. "Can I have your attention please? Sixth period will be cut short today. In just a few minutes the bell will ring. All students are to report to the assembly hall. I repeat, at the next bell, please report to the assembly hall for a special announcement." Natalie is sitting in her Social Studies class when the announcement was made. The voice sounded familiar, but the distortion from the intercom made it difficult to pinpoint who it was. Being newly enrolled at Philmore Academy and just three days into the school year, she could only guess what the `special announcement' would entail. The bell rings and she stuffs her books into her backpack and heads down the hall towards the assembly hall. Within minutes, Natalie is sitting in the bleachers with a few girls she has befriended since the school year began. She notices the girls appear nervous, twirling their hair or fidgeting their fingers. "What is this all about?" Natalie asks. As Dean Larson walks onto the stage, approaching the podium, one of the girls answer, "I'm sure it's about the Naked in School Program." The words hit Natalie like a ton of bricks. She hasn't heard a thing about the program since her interview in the Dean's office several weeks ago. Natalie was hoping they had simply changed their mind about rolling it out. She has flashbacks of the photos in the brochure and what she was told about the program. Natalie now starts to fret along with her friends as she watches Dean Larson organize his notes at the podium. She looks at the other girls; Natalie's inner voice speaks up, "There is no way they would pick me over these girls. Katie is a cheerleader, Sam was last year's prom queen and Emily is the top student in our class." "Can I have your attention please?" Dean Larson speaks into the microphone. He pause for a second, "Please settle down, the sooner we can get through this assembly, the sooner you can be dismissed for the weekend." That promise of early dismissal quickly settles the antsy teens. "As you know, last year we rolled out the Naked in School Program. The administration deemed the pilot a great success." "Oh really, did they have to walk around the school naked?" a student yells out from the bleachers. "No Miss Elliot, they did not participate in the program." Dean Larson looks in the direction of the voice as he demonstrates his unique ability to identify students solely by their voice. "The feedback that we received from the four teens that participated actually helped us determine the success of the program." He continues, "On Monday we will begin the first official week of Philmore Academy's Naked in School Program. We have selected one male and one female from each class to participate. Their names will be posted at the main entrance of the school fifteen minutes prior to the first warning bell. If your name is on the list then you will proceed to my office for further instructions." "Like, 'get nekkid'!" another voice rings out from the bleachers, garnering chuckles from many of the teens. "Yes, Mr. Stewart; that would be one," once again displaying his deft skill of identifying students. "There will be many others as well." "For this program to remain successful, everyone must play a role. If any of you remember last year, the first day or two will be pretty traumatic for the participating students. I ask that everyone treat the participants with respect and offer their support. If you are respectful and supportive then I expect the participants to quickly adapt to their new environment. However, take advantage of what this program has to offer, it is about exploring your sexuality. The program participants are available for your `reasonable requests' to assist you in exploring both yours and their sexuality." Dean Larson pauses to let his words sink in a little, "When you leave here today, you will be handed a pamphlet. Please take this pamphlet home and read it. Then read it again. I would go so far as to recommend you memorize it. This pamphlet will give you all the information you need to know about the program. It will spell out what is allowed and what is NOT allowed. With that you are dismissed, have a great weekend, see you all on Monday." Natalie stands up from her seat on the bleachers. She turns to her friends; one had tears running down her cheek. She extends a hug to give her a bit of support, but more to support herself and to hold back her own tears. She makes her way off of the bleachers and towards the exit door. She grabs a pamphlet on her way out and nearly crumbles it in her hand. She couldn't find the courage to look at it during her entire walk home. After what felt like an hour, but was barely a ten minute walk, she arrives at her front door. She opens the door and steps inside. She immediately walks to the kitchen, drops her backpack on the floor and sits at the kitchen table; crumbled pamphlet still in hand. She reads the cover; Student Guide to the Naked in School Program, Prepared by the Federal Office of Social Awareness and modified by the Administration of Philmore Academy. She opens the cover to the first section; Compulsory Nudity. She reads through the entire page and then pauses and shakes her head. She starts over at the top of the page and reads it again. "No clothing other than shoes and socks are permitted at any time, nor shall any participant attempt to cover or hide any of their body, including with another part of their body, i.e. hands, arms, legs. Due to uncertainty of weather, Program Participants will immediately report to the assembly hall stage at the beginning of each day to disrobe and return at the end of the day to retrieve all clothing. Participants will enter and exit through the designated west end doors. All bathroom use and gym preparation (including showering) will be performed in the facilities provided for the opposite sex." She moves on to the Class Participation page and reads through it a few times. Her mind drifts as she reads the section detailing examples of activities which may require significant involvement. She mentally scans her class schedule thinking of the many horrible things her teachers could require her to do. The next section is what caused her the most dread, Reasonable Requests. She reads through the guidelines; a few of them sticks out in her mind more than others. "The Program Participant is required to comply with reasonable requests only during the allotted time between scheduled classes. As time is limited, Program Participants are only required to accept ONE request during these times. Requests can only be made in the hallways and restrooms. Once in a classroom, library, gymnasium, locker room or lab, only the educator can make requests of the participant. The Program Participants are strongly encouraged to allow touching for the purpose of education and promoting sexual awareness. The Program Participant is the sole judge of the reasonableness of any request that extends beyond simple physical contact. Any attempt to make physical contact without acceptance of a formal request will result in disciplinary action by the Academy administration. Discipline can include any manner of actions up to and including filing charges with local law enforcement. No Program Participant is ever required to submit to genital stimulation, oral sex or penetration of a sexual organ or foreign object. However, these `discretionary' requests may be accepted by the Program Participant on a case by case basis. The Program Participant does not have to accept any request during their scheduled lunch hour. Natalie continues on to the next page titled Contraception and Requesting Relief. She reads, "Under contract, all students are required to use contraception. While female students can use any contraception of their choice, the Board of Education has provided a recommended list of proven effective methods. A full list can be found on the Academy's website." Natalie's inner voice interrupts, "Well, that explains the doctor's visit last week. Mom insisted I get the injection. She could have just told me it was a requirement." Natalie continues reading the pamphlet, "Males are required to use condoms at all times when ejaculation is anticipated, whether it's during intercourse or other activities. It is the participants' responsibility to properly clean all spilled bodily fluids immediately. Sterilizing wipes can be found throughout the building." "Bodily fluids; what kind of program is this?" her inner voice questions. "Program Participants may request relief prior to the start of any class period. Participants will be allowed a five minutes restroom break to achieve such relief. Participants can also request a classmate to assist in relief. The educator, at their discretion, may require the relief session to be performed within the classroom for the expressed purpose of education. All requirements concerning contraception and sanitation as noted above must be adhered to." The final section on the last page of the pamphlet printed a list of exemptions that excused a student from participating in the program. The list includes health, excusable absences, diplomatic status or prior participation at another school system. Natalie also noted an exemption specific to the Academy that reads, "Females on their menstrual period will be granted a one-week medical exemption from participation in the program." The final section concerning Outreach sends Natalie into a tailspin. She throws the pamphlet on the table and puts her face in her hands. She silently starts to weep. As she sits at the table in deep thought, she does not hear the front door open. Her mother turns into the kitchen, seeing Natalie at the table. "What's wrong dear?" Natalie jumps up and runs to her mother's arms. "Mom, it's the Naked in School Program, it starts Monday. If I get selected, you have to get me out of it." "Oh honey, I wish I could. You know state law forbids parental interference. Besides don't you remember what Dean Larson said about the selection process?" "Yes, I know he said I probably wouldn't get selected, but still." Her mother steps back and brushes the hair out of her face and wipes the tears from her cheek. "Why don't you do something that will take your mind off this program, at least until Monday? How about inviting some of your new friends over to hang out at the pool for the weekend?" "I guess I can do that, I'll make some calls. But I make no promises that this stupid program won't become the main topic of discussion. All my friends would make perfect candidates for the program." "I am sure they would honey, I am sure they would." Natalie's mother replies as she turns away and heads out of the kitchen towards the living room, a wry smile across her face.
