Cat lay in bed staring at the springs holding up the mattress from the top bunk. After a while, she heard her brother’s breathing switch to a slow rhythmic pattern of deep sleep. She had never shared a room with the little brat and was at least grateful that he didn’t snore.

She couldn’t sleep. Not like this. For one, she had never even slept nude before. It was strange laying here with nothing but a thin sheet. Each time she moved, her arm brushed against her bare skin and sent a jolt of shame through her body. She also worried about what would happen tomorrow.

Of course, Jenny had seen her naked before. They shared a bedroom since Jenny was 3. But to her knowledge, Steve had never seen so much as her belly button. Now, he was jerking off to pics of her on his phone… What happens when he wakes up and has his naked sister lying in the bottom bunk?

She had to figure out a way out of this mess. There’s no way her dad was actually going to make her attend school naked. He was mad, but that is just sick! She was certain that he would get over his fury and let her get dressed tomorrow… or Sunday at the latest. She just needed to keep from digging herself in deeper before then.

Cat had no idea how long she lay there worrying about her punishment. She did eventually fall asleep. When she did, it was from exhaustion…

“Oh my gawd she’s still naked!” Came a boy’s voice. “I told you so.” Came another.

Cat squeezed her eyes shut. She wanted another few minutes of sleep. As she slowly regained consciousness, she realized that the two voices were familiar. The second was her brother. The first belonged to his friend, Bradly. She couldn’t figure out why they were in her bedroom or who they were talking about.

Gradually, she tried reaching for the blanket to cover her head and try to get a couple of more minutes of rest. No luck… When her arm passed over her bare chest, she suddenly remembered that she was still naked.

Cat’s eyes shot open. Looking up she saw the springs holding up the mattress of the top bunk above her head. She wasn’t in her room… she had slept in Steve’s room.

“Get out of here, both of you.” She shouted.

“It’s my room… you get out.” Steve shot back.

“Mom!” Cat yelled. “Tell Steve and his friend to leave me alone!”

After a few seconds, she heard her mom yell upstairs, “You kids stop fighting!”

She finally rolled over to look at the intruders. Both boys had been staring at her. “What do you want?” she asked.

“How long are you gonna say like that?” Bradly asked.

“Like what?” Cat feigned innocence.

“Naked!” Steve elated. “Do you really have to stay like that all weekend?”

Cat sighed before nodding and said sadly, “and then some…”

“That’s awesome!” Bradly said. “Will you come hang out with us?”

Cat felt a bit of disgust. She had nothing personal against the boy, but clearly he just wanted to spend more time with the naked high schooler. “Why should I?” She asked.

“Come on, sis. You never hang out with us anymore!” Steve complained.

“Have you ever asked me to hang out before?” She said?

“Well… usually you’re just doing stupid stuff, like smiling in a mirror or practicing ‘walking’. You can come play X Box with us if you want.” Steve said.

“I just wanna sleep.” Cat said. “Can we hang out later?”

“Sure!” Bradly said, accepting her response as some sort of commitment.

Cat rolled over, facing the wall. She tried closing her eyes but could hear the two boys whispering to each other. “Can you guys please leave?”

After an awkward pause, Steve said, “We’ll be quiet.”

Cat lay there for about a minute listening to them breath. Finally, she decided that she wasn’t going to get a second of sleep with them both staring at her. She rolled over to get up. Both boys had moved to the edge of the bed and she nearly kicked Bradly when she swung her feet off of the bed to stand up.

The two boys launched backward to avoid getting trampled. “What the hell are you doing?” She demanded.

“We were quiet!” Steve whined. “What’s wrong?”

“Why are you staring at me?” She demanded.

“Come on!” Bradly said. “You’re naked! Why wouldn’t we stare at you?”

She wanted to argue, to scream at them… but she remembered how her attitude toward this punishment kept making it worse. Instead, she finished standing up and walked as casually as she could manage to the bathroom. At least she would get a few moments of privacy.

After relieving herself, she brushed her teeth and hopped into the shower. At least for a few minutes, her being naked would be normal. Once she was done, she toweled herself off and wrapped the towel around her.

Using the hair dryer, Cat heated the fog that had built up on the mirror. She stared at herself, wrapped up in a towel. She knew that would be gone, but she needed to practice first.

For more than ten years, Cat had practiced her various smiles. It was like practicing a walk or a pose, she had done it so frequently, that she could bring out a sincere-looking smile regardless of how she felt. She tried a few different versions until she found the smile she was looking for. It was a casual, happy girl looking smile that someone might have when they found out they were going out for ice cream.

She practiced a few more times and then simply pulled off the towel. Cat looked at herself in the mirror. Tall and lean, her breasts were small, but proportionate. With her pubic hair removed, her slit was a soft pink line between her legs. Until today, she had never really looked at her nude body. Now… Now she realized that this was how people would be seeing her until her parents let her get dressed again.

Cat drew a deep breath, hung the towel on a hook on the door, and then walked out of the bathroom. Steve and Bradly had gone downstairs. Cat considered crawling back into bed to try to get a bit more rest, but the shower had woken her up completely, so there was no point. Determinedly, Cat gathered her courage and walked downstairs.

She could hear the two boys playing X Box before she reached the bottom of the steps. Instead of turning right and heading into the living room, she went left to the kitchen. She hadn’t gotten to eat anything last night at the after-party and was famished.

“Good, you’re up.” Her mom said as she walked into the kitchen. “Your list of chores is on the fridge. I’m heading out with Madeline and Andrea.”

Cat glanced at the refrigerator, there was a piece of lined paper with a list written on it hanging from a magnet. She turned back to protest, but her mom had already walked out of the room and was headed toward the car. She began to follow her out, but after taking two steps outside she froze. Naked inside with her brother and his friend was bad enough, but out here everyone could see her shame.

Cat turned and sprinted back inside. She heard someone behind her give a loud woof-whistle as she reached the door and slammed it shut. This was a nightmare.

“Cat, can you bring us something to drink?” Steve yelled from the living room.

“Get it yourself, you lazy butt.” Cat scolded back.

“Come’on. We’re busy. Besides, it’s on the list!” Steve protested.

“What list?” Cat yelled back.

She walked back into the kitchen to see what was on this list of chores.

1. Clean your room
2. Vacuum
3. Fix lunch for you and your brother
4. Rake the yard

Cat heard herself scream. It was bad enough that Steve and Bradly were there to witness her humiliation, she had no intention of leaving the house like this.

In a heartbeat, the boys had run into the kitchen, “What’s wrong?” Asked Steve, sounding legit concerned.

“They want me to…” she stammered. Suddenly the weight of everything that had happened since last night came to bear on her… tears streaming down her cheeks… “I… I just can’t,” she said.

“What?” Bradly asked.

“She doesn’t want to go outside,” Steve concluded, pointing at #4 on the list.

Cat just stood there looking pitiful, balling like a kid while the two boys tried comforting her. This just made it worse, and she subconsciously raised her arms to cover her breasts and vagina while her body shook from crying. “Go away!” She shouted through tears and sniffles.

“It’ll be okay.” Her bother told her solemnly.

“No, it won’t.” She spat back. “Everyone in the neighborhood is gonna gawk at me!”

“What if we rake the yard for you?” Bradly offered.

“Really?” She asked, hopefully.

The boys glanced at one another before Steve said, “We can… but you gotta do something for us too.”

Cat sniffed loudly before saying, “Anything! Wait, what do you want?”

“We’ll let you know,” Bradly said with a grin. “Let’s go.”

With that, the boys headed outside to rake the yard, leaving Cat alone in the kitchen, half relieved and half wondering what she had just agreed to.

It took a few minutes for the tears to stop. Cat tried not to think of what torment her brother and his friend were planning. Instead, she decided to tackle the rest of the list. She started with vacuuming the house and cleaning her room.

It was weird to walk around the house naked, even with nobody else around. She had walked around the school like this but was so excited about the modeling aspect that she had convinced herself it didn’t matter. But now… she was spending the foreseeable future like this and realized how awkward it was.

Once she started working though, she let herself get into a zone and blocked out the fact that she was naked. It was only when she went into the living room and noticed the boys out in the yard through the big picture window that she suddenly felt the need to cover herself. Anyone walking down the sidewalk would be able to see her in there.

She quickly finished the downstairs and went up to vacuum the bedrooms. After that, she spent a few minutes tidying up her bedroom and, since she was now sharing Steve’s room, she did her best to straighten up the mess that he left in there. Clothes were strewn around the closet and under the bed. She had no idea which were clean and which dirty, so all she could do was throw them all in the hamper.

She made the beds and pushed everything on top of the desk into one of the drawers. On the surface at least, it looked clean. Then she headed down to make lunch: nothing special, just peanut butter and jelly sandwiches with milk.

She set the food on the dining table and realized that Steve and Bradly were not there. She started toward the door to call them before she remembered that she was still naked. Instead, she headed to the living room.

Looking out the large picture window, Cat stood there covering herself with her hands as she watched the boys work. They had raked the leaves into a large pile in the center of the yard and were working on scooping the pile into the large green trashcan used for organic waste. The problem was that they didn’t move the trash can near the pile, so as they carried a clump of leaves across the yard to dump it, they would drop half on the way.

She could see that they had been at it a while since there was a trail of leaves leading from the pile to the trash can. They didn’t notice Cat watching them, and after a while her mind drifted to her present circumstance.

On Monday, her parents said they were going to send her to school like this. She still wasn’t convinced that they were going to go through with that, but if today was any indicator, she had a lot of humiliation headed her way.

Steve finally noticed that the leaves they had dropped across the yard. He started raking them back toward the pile while Bradly continued carrying leaves to the trash can.

Steeling her nerves, Cat slowly dropped her hands to her sides. ‘What’s the big deal?’ She wondered to herself. Nobody was looking at her anyway. She now stood in front of the window, fully exposed to whoever happened to walk past her house.

She didn’t know what she would do if someone DID walk past, but for the time being, with nobody looking at her, she stood there looking out. For the next thirty minutes, she refused to raise her hands or move an inch. It wasn’t until they had finished the yard that the boys even noticed her standing there.
