Bored and Foolish

Bored and Foolish



It was cool at first. An isolated new community consisting of just 7 houses on Able Avenue. On the west side were the Grangers. Mr. Granger was a fireman and his wife a nurse. They have two kids, April, who’s 14, and Boyd, 13. Next to them are the Ryders. Ms. Ryder is a divorced registered teacher with two daughters: Cora, 14, and Cindy, 13. The last house on that side of the road belongs to the Bernard family. Mr. and Mrs. own a restaurant in town. They have three kids: 13-year-old twins Gabe and Stephine, and 12-year-old Glen.

Across from the Granger’s house are the Kings. Mr. King is a widowed father with two kids. Thirteen-year-old Adam and his sister, Dorothy who is 12. Dorothy was named after an aunt, the sister of her mother, but she never liked the name and goes by Dora. Their Dad is an over-the-road truck driver, and they are quite used to caring for themselves, with help from the neighbors.

Next to them live the Thompson’s. Dad is a Lieutenant Colonel in the Army and currently in Europe. Mom is in the national guard, and is a retired Army Major. Their one child, Zoe, is 13, and tough as nails. The last house is next to them, but unoccupied. However, there was a sign out front that said it had been sold.

The road is gravel. To prevent it from being torn up by construction traffic it hasn’t been blacktopped yet.

Further to the east there are several empty lots and two houses under construction. To the west is a thin wooded area running north and south. The trees extend nearly a mile in each direction, but are only between three and four hundred yards thick. Immediately beyond the trees is the Middle School, home to sixth, seventh, and eighth grade kids. Rather than ride the bus except when the weather is bad, the kids have formed a path through the trees and walk to school.

Or rather, they used to, before the world-wide pandemic forced governments everywhere to close all places where more than a small number of people could meet. For Zoe, it meant she had to move to the Ryder house because her mom was called up into the National Guard. It was also a stressful time for the Granger’s because nurse Mom was at the hospital up to 18 hours a day and had taken to only coming home twice a week. And Mr. Granger was working the day shift at the fire house, 6 am to 6 pm, seven days a week. Because it was an hour drive, about all he could do when he got home was to bring any essential supplies and food he could and sleep.

The King kids were used to being alone for two or three days at a time while their dad was away on the long delivery route, which he was when the emergency measures were put in place. He was concerned about contracting the virus and made arrangements for the Granger and Bernard adults to check in and help care for Adam and Dora while he stayed away to prevent spreading the disease to the small isolated community.

However, Mr. and Mrs. Bernard had converted their restaurant to a carry-out or curb-side business and let nearly all the other people who worked there go home with pay. That kept them at the restaurant from early morning until late evening. The upside was they were able to bring food back with them for all of their small community.

Ms. Ryder quickly established a web-based classroom, where she taught classes for all three grades of the Middle School, where she normally was a sixth-grade teacher. She encouraged the other kids in here neighborhood to come to her house for the 8 am to noon classes, but most, freed from the burden of having to get up, eat, dress, and walk to school, decided to just join the more distant students and attend via computer.

At first, all the kids were suddenly freed from the normal routine. It was almost as good as summer, but without the extreme hot weather. But, after the first ten days, the adventure started to wear thin. Humans are social creatures, and in large groups certain behavior characteristics are enforced by numbers. In an isolated group, the difference between boys and girls quickly became more profound. And the boys, more so than the girls, became bored. And boredom led to foolishness.

“I’m tired of shooting hoops in the driveway,” “Boyd complained. “Let’s go over to the school and play a game on the court.”

“Two on two? Which of you want Glen on their team?” Gabe didn’t need to point out that Glen was not only a year younger, but also didn’t shoot or dribble well.

“We could play horse,” Adam suggested.

“You guys go. I’d lose anyway,” Glen said.

“We could play strip horse,” Boyd said with a smile. “Once you have horse you strip naked and stay that way until three of us are naked. Think about it. We risk being naked on the school’s court.”

“What if someone came by?” Glen asked.

“We continue to play. Nobody is hanging around the school. And anyone who did would be our age. Are you scared?”

Glen didn’t want to admit that the idea went beyond being scared. He was terrified of being seen naked by anyone. Even Gabe hadn’t seen him naked in years. But he couldn’t admit his fear, “I’ll play, if I get three extra letters.”

“You get two extras, and I’m in,” his brother said. He was sure he was the best shot of the bunch and therefore didn’t expect that he’d be one of the naked ones. He was also sure that even with two extra letters his brother would be one of the first ones naked.

“It would be scary as hell to be naked on the school grounds during the day,” Adam said. He was into dares. Sure, it would be embarrassing to be naked in front of his friends. But only if he lost. “I’m in. How about you Boyd? You suggested the game. Even Glen didn’t chicken out.”

“He hasn’t agreed to play with just two extra letters. But yeah, I’m in. What about you Glen?”

Glen really wanted the extra letters. He knew he’d end up naked. but he didn’t want his brother calling him a chicken every day for months. “I’m in, with two extra letters.”

Ms. Ryder was working on her lesson plan for the next day, and Cora, Cindy, Zoe were on the back porch. The laughter drew their attention and they saw the four boys on the trail into the trees.

“I wonder where are they going with a basketball?” Cindy asked. “Glen doesn’t look like he wants to go.” The two older girls looked.

“Yeah, he is much quieter than the others, and he’s kicking his feet as he walks,” Zoe said. “They’re up to something and it does look like Glen is uncomfortable. Let’s follow them and see what’s up.”

“Secretly,” Cora said. “Whatever it is, if it’s not something they can do in the driveway then they won’t do it if they know we are watching.”

The school was dark, no inside lights on. The sports fields were empty. There were six empty beer cans on the ground behind where home plate would be if the plates were on the baseball field, but they could have been there for days. The boys picked them up and threw them in the large trash can behind the backstop fence.

“We doing this or not?” Adam said asked.

“Let Glen shoot first,” his brother said. If you have a free shot and miss it, you lose a letter.” It was a new rule he’d thought of on the way over. It would speed up the game. The idea of being naked in the open was beginning to scare him, and he wanted to minimize the time in case one of the naked boys was him.

None of the other boys objected, and Boyd passed the ball to Glen. He stood on the foul line and put it up and in.

“Hey, this isn’t a trick, is it?” Adam asked. “He hasn’t been hiding his talent just so he could win at this, has he?”

“It was a lucky shot,” Gabe said. He had caught the rebound and now stood on the foul line and shot. The ball bounced off the front of the rim.” “Shit. I’ve got H.”

“They’re just playing horse,” Dora said from behind the trees where she and the two older girls were. “This is boring. Let’s go back home.”

“No, let’s wait a bit,” Zoe said. “They all seem nervous to me. Something else is up. You can go if you want, but I’m going to stay.” Her statement convinced Cora and Cindy to also wait.

Twenty minutes later, their wait became worthwhile as Gabe Bernard attempted a shot that Adam had just made and missed it. The other boys laughed, except for Glen. Gabe looked around.

“Come on, there’s nobody here but us,” Adam said. “Strip.” He was feeling confident as he had no letters and Boyd had one. Glen was at S and would soon be joining his brother.

The girls couldn’t believe their eyes as the 13-year-old boy began removing his clothes just a hundred feet in front of them. He paused when he got down to just his boxers, but then pushed them down. Not wanting to be seen by the boys, he’d turned his back to them, unknowingly turning his front to the girls. They saw everything.

“God, I wished I’d brought my phone,” Zoe said. The boy was a year younger than her, but that didn’t matter. He was cute. And he was naked, the first real boy older than three that she had ever seen naked.

One round of baskets later, they got to watch Glen strip. It was interesting to the girls to compare the difference between a boy of 12 to one of 13. There wasn’t much. Glen’s penis was a bit smaller and thinner, and they could only just barely see a few hairs.

The two naked boys stood with hands over their privates, paying more attention to their surroundings than the game. Having two naked boys was distracting Adam, and he soon found himself tied at S with Boyd. The next one to miss would be naked. But at least it would only be for a second. It wasn’t like the Bernard brothers who had been standing there naked for the better part of fifteen minutes.

Boyd wanted to end it. He too was worried about being seen naked, and the fear that other kids might show up. He moved far away from the basket and shot. It was an all-or-nothing attempt, and the ball bounce twice off the rim and backboard before spinning twice around the rim and going in. He breathed a sigh of relief.

The shot was beyond Adam’s range, and missed the rim completely. “Air ball,” Boyd shouted. “And that is horse. Strip for us Adam. Give us a show.”

He stripped off his shirt, that didn’t matter. Next his shoes and socks. But then it was getting tricky. He had a partial boner. The worst time in the world for it to get hard. Once he pushed down his shorts, Glen noticed.

“He’s got a boner,” the younger boy shouted with a laugh.

“Shut up Glen,” his brother ordered. But Gabe was struggling with his own demon. The thought of seeing his friend naked and hard was making his own dick come to life.

“Hey, me and Gabe had to stand here for like an hour,” Glen said. “How long does Adam have to stay naked?”

“Just one second,” Adam said. He turned his back to the boys, and like Gabe before him, he gave the girls a good look at his privates. A new first for all of them, a boy with an erection. They had to struggle to remain quiet, and Zoe felt her panties getting wet.

The moment after he stepped out of his boxers, he stepped back into them and pulled them up, followed by his shorts. Then he turned around.

“That isn’t fair,” Gabe said, his own boner barely hidden behind his hands. “Glen’s right, we had to stand here and watch you guys play.”

“That’s my reward for being the last one naked,” he said. “But I’ll make a deal with you, if you dare to accept it. I’ll strip and stand here naked while go all the way around the school as a penalty for being the first one naked.” Gabe didn’t say anything, but he also didn’t dress.

“Aw, looks like he’s going to chicken out on that one,” Boyd said. But we’ll play again tomorrow, and that’s the deal.”

“I’m not doing this again tomorrow,” Glen said. “Call me scared, or a baby, I don’t care. The only reason I wasn’t the first one naked was because Gabe had a bad day. He normally would never miss those shots.” He began pulling on his clothing, confused as to why his brother wasn’t doing the same. He couldn’t possibly be thinking about running all the way around the school, could he?

“Instead of around the school, I’ll go home naked. No clothes until I’m in my yard or house. Glen will take his clothes back off and he doesn’t get dressed until right at the edge of our yard. And you,” he pointed at Adam, “stay naked until we can see the end of the path. And all of you agree to play by that rule again tomorrow.”

“I don’t think…” Glen started but was cut off by Adam.

“Deal. But your brother can’t chicken out.”

“Wait,” Boyd said. “I really want to see this, but it isn’t fair to Glen. We all know he’s right; he should have ended up naked first. So I propose this. Tomorrow, the first two people naked don’t get their clothes back until they are on their property. The last person naked has to go to the end of the trail. Glen, you good with that? We’ll still give you two extra letters, but it’s up to you. I know you must be scared, but you weren’t the first one naked today. Maybe tomorrow you’ll get lucky again.”

“But Adam lives across the street,” Glen said. “What if he’s one of the first two naked?”

“That’s what I’m counting on,” Boyd said. “He likes dares. Is he brave enough to take this one? We won’t know unless you agree to play. If he chickens out, you’re off the hook, we’ll find something else to do tomorrow.”

The thrill of potentially seeing Adam having to cross the street naked was worth it. “I’m in,” he said.

“Are you forgetting that all three of us have a sister?” Adam asked. That brought a slowdown to the other’s thoughts. “Yeah, I am a risk taker, and I will accept the deal if you guys do.” He looked at Boyd and said, “And I really want to see kind of deals you will offer us to avoid being seen by April. Because I’m going to win, and I think Gabe will finish third, not first or second.”

Gabe had completely forgotten about his twin sister. Steffanie was probably in the house. If he agreed to this now, he’d have to be naked until at least in the yard. And once out of the woods he might be seen by Cora and Cindy Ryder, who lived next door. And by Zoe Thompson, who was staying with them. Or worse yet, Ms. Ryder.

Boyd and Adam were looking at him, waiting to hear his answer. Adam was torn between wanting it to be no so he wouldn’t face the risk of being seen naked by girls, or yes, hoping to see Boyd put in his place.

“This is scary as hell,” Gabe said. “Are we being a bit too foolish?”

“We’re bored, and this makes things more exciting,” Adam said. “I’m at the biggest risk, if I’m one of the first two naked I have to cross the road. But I’m not too scared to take my chances.”

Which was worst, having the other two boys call him chicken in front of Glen, or taking a chance at being seen naked by girls. He was always quick to call his brother names when he was too scared to try something, this would always give Glen a response in the future. He knew he’d had a bad day, and was sure his basketball skills were about even with Adam and Boyd.

“I’m in,” he said. “Glen, you and Adam both have to strip again. One thing though, shoes – can we wear them instead of totally naked? I don’t want to cut my foot on something in the woods.”

“Yeah, good point,” Adam said, suddenly remembering that if he lost he’d have to cross the gravel road and without shoes wouldn’t be able to run.

“Okay, I agree,” Boyd said. “But none of you can cover up.” He’d spotted the boner Gabe was hiding behind his hands and wanted to see his friend’s dick. “And that applies tomorrow too. As soon as you are naked you keep your hands to the sides or behind your back.”

Back behind the trees, Zoe wasn’t the only one with wet panties. “Damn, I can’t believe they are that stupid to be doing this,” Cora said. “If we leave now, we can be in position to see Gabe naked in his backyard.”

“We could tell Steffanie that Gabe is coming home naked and ask her to sit outside with their back door locked. That way, we get to see him as he dresses.”

“That’s a really mean idea,” Zoe said. “I love it. But we can’t let the boys know we are on to them or they’ll stop playing, so no sitting out in the back yard. Also, we need to distract your mom. It won’t do for her to see him.”

“I’ll take care of that,” Cindy said. “And get my phone at the same time. I can’t wait to see this.” The three of them quietly slipped away and then ran as fast as they could back to the Ryder’s house where the split up. Zoe went to the Bernard’s house and told Steffanie what the boys were up to.

Back at the school, Glenn and Andy had stripped down again except for shoes. Gabe had to move his hands to put his shoes on.

“How come you and Andy have boners?” Glenn asked.

“Shut up Glenn,” both of the said at the same time. Boyd just laughed. “Let’s go.”

At first they were going to run, but two things made them rethink that. First, their boners bounced around painfully; and second, they didn’t want to run into girls who might be in the woods. They slowed to a walk.

Gabe and Glenn waited as Andy continued to the end of the trail before putting his clothes back on. Then they moved through the trees until they were behind their house.

“God, I gotta tell you, I’m scared as shit,” Gabe said. He scanned the yards and houses and didn’t see anyone, but all he could see through the windows were reflections of the sun except for his sister’s room where the window was open. But the room looked dark.

“You’d better get going while nobody’s around,” Glenn said.

“I know,” his brother answered. “I wish I didn’t have a boner.”

“You, uh, could make it go away,” Glenn offered. He wouldn’t mind watching his older brother do it. It was something he was unlikely to ever see again.

Gabe had thought about it. It seemed awkward with his brother standing right next to him. But maybe it would help if he could get the swelling in his dick to go down.

“What’s he doing,” Steffanie asked. The top of her phone extended just above the bottom of the window. She had it zoomed out so that even in the shade of the trees at the back of their property she could clearly see her brother’s dick. She was disappointed that Glenn had dressed, seeing him had been fun too.

“It’s called masturbation,” Zoe said. “Do you know what that means?”

“Yeah,” Steffanie said, her interest peaked even higher. “We learned about that in health class. But I didn’t know boys did it like that.” She stared as she watched her brother’s hand slide along the shaft of his penis.

“Watch, I think he’s about done,” Zoe said. Her own phone was also focused on Gabe. Right after she spoke, his knees bent, and he bent over slightly. She could actually see the semen shooting out and landing on the leaves in front of the boy.

“Wow,” Steffanie said. “Was that the sperm stuff we learned about?”

“Yep,” the older said. She was right on the verge of doing the same, and tried to keep it from happening. Until tonight, alone in her bed.

“Fuck, it didn’t work,” Gabe said after blasting off. It was a day for firsts. First time he’d ever jerked off outside. First time ever outside naked. And the first time he’d ever had a witness to jerking off. “I gotta make a run for it. See you inside.”

Before his courage could fail him, he took off at a jog across the backyard, his head swiveling around to watch from all directions. He jumped the two steps and pulled on the back door, only to find it was locked.

“What the hell,” he said. He quickly tried to dress but had trouble getting his feet into the leg holes of his boxers and nearly fell. Then Glenn was there, laughing his ass off. He used his phone to unlock the door and the two of them piled inside.

“That was the most scared I think I’ve ever been,” Gabe admitted. “Tomorrow, I hope it’s Andy and Boyd and neither of us.”

The next day Steffanie knocked on the boy’s doors until she was sure they were awake, and said she was going next door for the morning school show as they called it. Ms. Ryder had encouraged all of them to come to her house, but accepted that most of them would work from home. Those kids who didn’t live close by had no choice but to attend via an internet connection.

With their sister gone, Gabe and Glenn logged in wearing what they wore to bed, boxers. They each had a bowl of cereal. Other kids were logging in, and they could see Ms. Ryder marking her attendance sheet as they did. The schools might be closed, but distance learning from teachers like her counted for days in school instead of unexplained absences.

Gabe’s phone made the sound for a text message, and he saw it was from Adam. “Dora went to Ryders, I’m here alone.”

Gabe texted back that he and Glenn were too.

“Dare you to be naked in school.” Attached to Adam’s text was a picture showing him naked. “Make sure you delete that and send me one of you 2” came the next text.

Gabe showed it to his brother, who laughed. They both removed their boxers and Gabe took a picture and sent it Adam.

“Stay that way until school is over,” Adam texted back.

“U2” sent Gabe with a laughing emoji.

Instead of using the cameras from their laptops, Boyd’s sister, April, had done for them what she had set up for her and Boyd – a single camera connected to one computer that showed both of them.

Once the last student logged in, Ms. Ryder pressed a button on her computer to show a split image of her and her makeshift white board. It filled the student’s screens, so she could no longer any of them unless she selected one from the log on section. Individual students could connect to as many of the other students as they had room for on their screen, but she could see when they did.

On their screen, Gabe and Glenn saw a window open and the feed from Adam’s computer showed him standing up and shaking from side to side, making his dick dance. Then the window closed.

Ms. Ryder was giving her welcome and didn’t notice the momentary connection between two of her students. But April had. It just lasted a few seconds. Then she saw the Bernard’s connect to Adam’s and she quickly added herself to it.

In a window, she and Boyd saw the Gabe and Glenn, naked, shaking back and forth and giggling. She killed the connection, wondering if the boys had noticed it. She saw Boyd pick up his phone. “Don’t you dare, or I will tell Ms. Ryder what they were doing,” she said to him. She saw him put his phone down.

The sequence happened twice more, and the next two times she caught Adam as well as the Bernard boys. She also had started a video capture of her screen. As it approached noon, she told her brother to call both boys and have them stay logged in until everyone else was off.

The lecture ended, and when all the log on entries quickly disappeared, she selected the remaining two. She could see Adam, Gabe, and Glenn were seated with no shirts on. “Stand up,” she ordered.

“Uh, why?” Gabe asked. He had butterflies in his stomach from thinking about why they’d been asked to stay connected. He could see Boyd sitting next to his sister.

“Because if you don’t, I will send your parents an email with an attached video that shows what you three were doing instead of paying attention to the lecture.”

“Uh, what do you think we were doing,” Adam asked.

“I think you were naked. Three times during the lecture. And yes, I do have video of it. Now stand up.”

Adam gave in first. He stood, his dick hard and curved to the right. As soon as the other two boys saw him, they also stood. Gabe was erect, Glenn was not.

April stared at the three boys for a few seconds, liking very much the power she suddenly had over them. “I assume your sisters are at the Ryder’s house,” she said.

“Yeah, but they might come home any second now,” Glenn said. “Please, can we get dressed? You’ve already seen us.”

April turned to her brother. “If I hadn’t been here, would you have joined them in this foolishness?”

“I had no idea they were going to do it,” he said. “Probably not.”

“It was a stupid idea I had,” Adam said. I knew Steffanie was at Cora’s house, and I showed them I was naked as a joke and they went along with it. It’s my fault. Boyd had nothing to do with it.”

She knew she was taking too long. If either of the sisters did come home, who knew where this would go. In fact, she started thinking that she needed to delete the video capture just to be safe.

“You still deserve to be punished. You can choose to let me punish you, your sisters, or Boyd. Make up your minds and tell me and then you can get dressed.”

Again, Adam took the lead. “Boyd,” he said almost immediately. He bent down and pulled his boxers and shorts up in one movement.

“I guess Boyd too,” said Gabe, followed by Glenn. They also pulled up their underpants. “Steffanie just got home,” Gabe said. “Can we go, please?”

“Yes, go. And no more of this nonsense during school.” She disconnected.

The two boys hurried towards their rooms, but weren’t fast enough. Cora, Cindy, and their sister were between them and the hallway to their rooms. Gabe was doubly embarrassed because he knew they could see he had a boner. They all laughed and stood where they were, forcing him to push against them to get through. One of them, he didn’t know which, momentarily grabbed his dick through his boxers.

After lunch Boyd proudly rounded them up. He was all smiles while the other three boys were worried about what he would do for the punishment. But right then, he was eager to play another game of Strip Horse at the school. As the boys headed down the trail, Zoe, Cora, Cindy, and Steffanie prepared to follow, along with Adam’s sister, 12-year-old Dora. Steffanie knew she was in love with Glenn and would be especially thrilled to see boy her age naked.

As the boys walked along the trail, three of them had one thought on their minds. Adam finally voiced it. “How are you going to punish us for being naked during school this morning?” he asked Boyd.

“Let’s just concentrate on basketball and we’ll discuss that afterwards,” Boyd said. He’d spent his lunch time thinking about it, and had gotten hard at the idea of blowjobs. But then he remembered, these were his friends. He made up his mind that they would lie about the punishment, perhaps make the outcome of the game part of it for the two boys who had to go home naked. But he didn’t want to tell them yet; he did not want to be one of the naked ones, and he knew that the thought of a punishment administered by him would distract the other boys, giving him an edge. He continued to put off discussing it as the other two boys also asked.

Again, the school yard was empty of people when they arrived. The reviewed the rules they had agreed to yesterday, and started playing.

The girls arrived and hid among the trees. On the way, they told Dora what to expect, and as they had anticipated, she was thrilled. “You mean I’ll get to see Glenn naked? And my brother?”

“Glenn most likely,” Cora answered. “They give him two extra letters, but he’s by far the worst shot. But for Adam, the odds are not as good. He was naked up to the end of the trail, but they were talking about how Gabe had a bad day shooting. Three of them will be naked, but only two have to go to their house that way. The second one will be either Gabe, Boyd, or your brother.” The girls sat down and watched the boys shoot, bored as the game slowly went on, until Glenn missed a shot.

“That’s horse plus two,” they heard Boyd yell from the school. “You’re the first one naked.”

The girls looked as Glenn pouted for a few seconds, but then he stiffened his back, which was turned to the boys, and removed his clothes, giving the 5 girls a wonderful view of his body. Zoe had to actually put her hand over Dora’s mouth when the girl was about to shout out her joy of seeing the boy she was in love with totally naked.

“I thought he would have an erection,” Dora said once she was under control and not about to shout.

“Maybe later,” Steffanie said. “Probably later. But he doesn’t know we’re here, he thinks it’s just the boys. Yesterday, my other brother not only had one, but he played with it before stepping into our yard. Maybe you’ll get to see Glenn do that today.”

The game was talking longer than yesterdays had as for a long time none of the remaining boys missed a basket until Boyd did. Shortly after that, Gabe joined him at the letter H. Forty minutes later, it was becoming clear that Boyd was likely to not be naked again today, as he was on O when Andy and Gabe were both on S. They played that way for another ten minutes, and Glenn was getting nervous standing there naked all this time. It was doubly embarrassing because by the rules they’d established yesterday he couldn’t cover up.

“I think it’s a tie,” Glen said after watching all three boys make the same basket. He was hoping to end it. “They both lose and go home naked.”

“No way,” both boys said. But Andy turned to Boyd and asked again what the punishment was going to be.

“I like the idea of a tie; you all go home naked. And we’ll lie to my sister. We won’t tell her about the game, we’ll say that’s the punishment.”

“No,” Andy said. “If we agree to that, then one of us is actually punished. If Gabe misses the next shot, I just have to be naked to the end of the trail, not all the way home.”

“Unless we tie for third one naked,” Gabe said. “Both of us are only naked to the end of the trail. The only one who goes home naked is my brother.”

“No way,” Glenn complained. “That isn’t fair to me. We made rules yesterday. Stick to them.”

“But then I have to come up with a punishment,” Boyd said.

“Lie about the game,” Glenn said. “Tell your sister none of us wanted to play, but it was the punishment. You gave one of us the chance to not be seen. Don’t tell her you played and won, tell her just the three of us had to play.”

“He’s right, ending in a tie is unfair to one of us no matter how we do it,” Gabe said. “We keep playing. It’s my shot, right?”

“Yeah,” Andy said. He passed the ball to his friend and stood back and watched him attempt the shot he had missed to become the third loser in the game yesterday. It was a long shot, outside of his range, and he hoped and prayed that it was outside of Gabe’s range to.

Gabe shot. The ball hit the rim, and bounced up high. It skimmed the backboard on the way down and hit the rim again at an angle, where it bounced into the backboard and then into the hoop.

“Shit, lucky shot,” Adam said. He took the ball and stood on the same spot. He went through the fundamentals of shooting: shoulder square with the hoop, knees slightly bent, and pushing the ball off with the tips of his fingers so it would have the right spin. He shot, and like yesterday, missed the rim completely.

“Damn it,” he said as he began to strip. “I sure hope Dora isn’t home.”

“You will be though,” Zoe said to the girl. “Cindy and I will go with you. We’ll hide my phone somewhere and record the whole thing. Steffanie will do the same for Glenn, and Cora will capture Gabe or Boyd when the last loser gets to the end of the trail.”

“We should head back now,” Cora said. “Before the game ends.” She made sure none of the boys were looking, and gave a last look as Andy finished stripping, and then the five girls headed back. Along the way, Dora asked about the punishment, but none of them had any idea what that was about.

It only took three more shots for Boyd to defeat Gabe. He’d missed one shot, which gave the other boy some hope of winning, but then made a reverse layup that confounded his opponent, and they waited for him to join his brother and Andy in nudity. They were gathering up their clothes and Boyd ran to get the ball when they heard a shout coming from the direction of the school. All four of them turned and saw four girls and two boys from their school had just come around the corner of the building.

Surprise caused Andy to drop his clothing. He managed to recover his shirt and shorts, but before he could get his boxers, he saws the 6 kids were running towards them. He left his underpants behind and the four boys ran down the trail as fast as they could. The shouts to stop and the laugher gradually faded away. But the kids behind them had seen three of them naked, and had gotten close enough to know who they were.

The girls had split up when they got to the edge of the woods. Zoe, Cindy, and Dora headed for the King’s house, but as they started to cross the road April Granger called them to her house.

“I just wanted to tell you that if you see my brother picking on the other boys, it is a gift I’ve given him. The other boys did something they don’t want their parents to know about, and they’ve accepted being punished by him instead of by me or their parents.”

“That’s what they were talking about,” Zoe said. “Boyd is going to lie to you. They were playing a game of strip horse that they agreed to yesterday. Boyd is going to tell you that was the punishment, but it isn’t, he isn’t punishing them at all. Andy will be crossing the street to his house naked any minute now.”

“How do you know this?” April asked.

“Because, we followed them yesterday and hid in the trees and watched. And we did it again today. Glenn Bernard and Andy have to go all the way to their property naked, and Gabe to the end of the trail, right back there. I’ll fill you in on the details later, but Dora wants to get home to make fun of her brother first.”

“This sounds very interesting,” April said. “You wouldn’t mind if I played along too, would you?”

“Uh, here’s the thing. We’re going to capture videos of all the boys and share them later. I don’t care if you come, but if you have a problem with us doing that, I needed to make sure before you were part of it.”

“I have a video I was about to delete of Andy, Gabe, and Glenn. I’d like to share.”

“Then let’s go,” Cindy said. “We need to set up.”

Once the boys reached the end of the trail they split up. They were all scared the kids who had seen them might be following, Boyd included even though he wasn’t naked. Having met his duty, Gabe stood there for the required moment before following his brother. He didn’t even take time to dress, figuring he could do that once he was in the trees behind his house.

Andy had the toughest time. He had to get past the Ryder house without Ms. Ryder seeing him, (or Cora or Cindy) and then past the Granger house where April might be out. Then across the street to his house, hoping that Nora would be somewhere, anywhere, else. Boyd was behind him, taking his time.

His dick was rising as he made his way along the side Ms. Ryder’s house, ducking down below the windows as he passed them. The gravel road out front was empty except there was a car and a moving van parked at the empty house on the opposite end.

Then he saw that his luck had run out. April Granger was on her front porch, and called him to her. He thought about ignoring the call, but she ordered it. With his hands over his dick, he ran to her house.

“Is this your punishment for your naked in school day?” she asked him. “This is what my brother made you do?”

“Yeah,” he said. “Can I go now, please?”

“Boyd, where are the other two boys?” she asked, ignoring Andy. She was happy to leave him standing naked in front of her for as long as she dared.

“Gabe and Glenn are both naked and heading to their house,” he said as he came up and stood next to Andy.

“I don’t see them,” she said, looking down the gravel road to the last house on her side of the street.

“They stripped in the woods, and the Bernard boys went to the back of the house.”

“That isn’t fair to Andy here. Go down there and tell them to come here. They can bring their clothes, but until I see that all three of them are naked, Andy will have to wait here. They will be allowed to dress as soon as I see that the punishment I allowed you to impose was the same for all three boys.”

“Wait, that isn’t fair,” Andy said. “I’m standing here naked. I’ve been punished. Gabe didn’t even have to go home naked. I do. Why do I have to wait for him?”

“Go if you dare,” April said to the scared boy. “But don’t think you can go against my orders and get off scot free.” She turned back to her brother and asked, “Why are you still here? I told you, go and get the other two and have them come here naked.”

“You didn’t say I had to punish them the same,” Boyd said. “I made them play a game. The first two who lost had to go home naked, and Gabe was the winner, he only had to go part way. But he was naked. It was the rules I gave them. Gabe won’t come here naked, and by now his brother is probably in the house dressed.”

“And this game, it was what you came up with for the punishment? When did that idea come to you?”

“Damn it, Boyd, she knows,” Adam said.

“I do know,” April said. “I was in the woods. I watched. And I heard you tell them that you would lie to me about the punishment. So here is what is going to happen. You are going to strip too, and then go and get the two Barnard boys and bring them here naked. The other choice is I tell Dad and Mom that you were around the school and playing a game with your friends that involved public nudity. What do you think Mom would say to that?”

Boyd didn’t even want to contemplate that. His mother would immediately tell the other parents. And she’d ask his dad to punish him appropriately, which would almost certainly result in his first paddling in three years. “What if they won’t come?”

“Remind them that I will tell their parents. And Andy’s dad as well. You had a simple assignment. You were not playing around during school yesterday, and I trusted you. Now I find out you can’t be trusted. All four of you boys are going to spend the rest of the day naked. I don’t care who sees you. Then your sisters and I will decide if further actions are necessary. You want to play naked games? Well, we can allow that. You don’t even have to play a game. Andy here is shivering, and not from cold. Get undressed and get your other two friends. They won’t like it, but they will come.”

His dick rising, Boyd stripped. He tried to turn away from her but she ordered him to face her.

She hadn’t seen him naked since he was four or five, and was very interested in what he looked like now. She knew this was a very big risk, but she also knew that the other girls in this little neighborhood had already seen the boys naked and would not object at all to keeping them that way for a few days.

As soon as his sister dismissed him, he ran as fast as he could to the south, then drew up suddenly when he saw two girls and a boy outside the new house where the moving van was. He was in front of the Mr. Ryder’s house, which was a dangerous place to be, but was about to move around it to the backyard, but by then the three new kids had spotted him and were staring and laughing. He decided to take the shortest way to get Gabe and Glenn and ran to their front door and started ringing the doorbell furiously.

“What the hell,” Gabe said when he answered the door and saw Boyd.

“Get out of the way and let me in,” his friend pleaded and then pushed past him. “My sister’s gone crazy. She was in the woods watching and knows I’ve lied. You and Glenn have to strip and come to my house or she’ll tell your parents about being naked during class.”

“You’ve got to be shitting me,” Gabe said. He saw that Glenn had come out of his room and was listening. “We can’t go there naked.”

“You guys do what you want,” Boyd said. “I’m in deep enough already. My sister knows of about four or five things I’ve done that will get me in so much trouble that you won’t see me again for years probably. I’m going back, naked. If you don’t come with me, she will tell your parents, I’m positive about that. She’s made Adam stand in my front yard naked this whole time; he hasn’t even gotten to his house yet.”

“Is Dora there?” Glenn asked. He knew she liked him, and he kind of liked her too.

“I haven’t seen any of the girls other than my sister. By the way, we’ve got new neighbors and they saw me naked. I’m going back through the back yards. Are you guys coming or not?”

Gabe looked at his brother. “We can’t let Mom and Dad know. They’re struggling to keep the restaurant from failing and trust us to stay out of trouble. I think we have to. If they find out about this they’ll decide that one of them has to be home with us.”

Glenn sure didn’t want to, but his brother was right. They owed to their parents to not bring problems to them. If they decided that one of them had to be home to keep the three kids out of trouble it would probably mean them losing the restaurant. He nodded his agreement and started removing his clothes again.

The three boys exited out the back door and went through the woods to get behind Boyd’s house before coming out into the open.

In the back bedroom, Steffanie had heard it all. She looked out her window and watched the three shiny butts belonging to her brothers and Boyd as they ran across the backyard and into the trees. Then the doorbell rang.

“Hi,” she said as she saw the three kids she’s seen earlier hanging around the moving van. “You just be moving into the house across the street.”

“Yeah,” the older-looking girl said. “I’m Rachel Cook, and this is my sister Amy and our brother Randy. We saw a naked boy enter here a few minutes ago.”

“Really?” Steffanie pretended to be surprised. “Naked? Are you sure?”

“Come on, we’re not little kids,” Amy said. “We know a naked boy when we see one. He looked like he was the same age as my stupid brother. He’s thirteen.”

“I was in my room,” she said. “He might be one of my brothers, I’ve got one who is 13 and the other is 12.”

“He was ringing the doorbell trying to get inside before we got here,” Rachel said. “Another boy his age let him in. Where are they now?”

“I’m sorry, but I don’t know. You can come inside and look, there’s no boys here, naked or otherwise.”

“Hey look,” Amy said. “There’s another one crossing the street.” She pointed to the north.

Steffanie looked and saw Adam crossing from his house to the Granger’s house. His sister, Zoe, and Cindy were behind him. And he was totally naked.

“This girl’s no help,” Rachel said. “Let’s go up there and find out what’s going on.”

“Wait,” Steffanie said. “They’re being punished for something. They don’t want any adults to know what they did, and agreed to let a girl who lives there punish them. I’m not sure you would be welcomed to observe since none of us know you or your parents. By the way, I’m Steffanie Bernard.”

“You hear that Randy?” Amy said. “They punish the boys here by making them be naked in front of girls. Are you ready for that?”

The boy blushed but didn’t say anything.

“You can either tell Mom the truth that it was you who broke the vase and not the movers, or we can go up there and see if that girl will include you in the punishment,” Rachel said to him. “Which do you choose?”

“I don’t want to be naked,” Randy said. “Not in front of you guys, and especially not in front of a bunch of girls I don’t know.”

“Okay then, let’s go home and tell Mom the truth,” Rachel said. “I’ll bet she’ll even let the movers watch as she spanks you like a little boy. Maybe Steffanie here can come and watch too.”

“No, you can’t tell Mom or Dad,” the boy said, looking like he was right on the verge of tears. “And if they hear that boys are punished naked, they’ll make me stay that way too. Mom really loved that vase.”

“He broke a vase that belonged to our grandmother and blamed it on the movers,” Rachel explained to Stephanie. “But I was playing with my camera and got a short video of how he broke it while kicking his soccer ball around in the house, something he’d not allowed to do. I’ve been wondering how to punish him, and now I think I know.” She looked back to her brother. “Naked in front of our new neighbors, or whatever punishment Mom thinks is appropriate. Decide now.”

Randy looked from Stephanie to his older sister and saw the determination in her eyes. She really would show the video to Mom. And he was afraid that in addition to the worst spanking of his life, Mom would let, no, encourage, witnesses. Girl witnesses. He’d be seen naked anyway. “You,” he said.

“Cool,” Amy said. I haven’t seen my big brother naked since I was a little girl.”

“How old are you?” Steffanie asked.

“Twelve,” the girl answered. “Rachel is fourteen, and Randy is thirteen.”

“One of my brothers is up there naked,” Stephanie said. “He’s twelve. The other boys, including my twin brother, are all thirteen.”

“Is there a way to get there without the movers seeing us?” Rachel asked. “I’d like to leave his clothes here so that he can’t change his mind.”

“Yeah, the way the boy you saw enter went along with my brothers. The back.”

Rachel ordered her brother to strip. He did so very slowly and reluctantly until she suggested that she and Amy help strip him. That got him to hurry. Once naked, he covered up, but when Rachel asked if there was any twine or ribbon she could use to tie his hands behind his back, he moved them.

Stephanie was loving this. A brand-new boy, naked, and his dick getting bigger by the second. She led them out the back, locking the doors behind her, and took them to the edge of the woods, explaining who lived in each house as they walked.

While her brother was down the street getting Gabe and Glenn, April had sent Andy across the street to get his sister. The poor boy almost fainted when he found that not just Dora, but Zoe Thompson and Cindy Ryder were there too. They eagerly followed him back across the street.

At the same time, Cora had seen the gathering of naked boys and came over. When Stephanie showed up with her three new friends, it was a wonderful time for all the girls. Five boys, Boyd, Adam, Gabe, Glen and the new boy, Randy, stood naked, ashamed, and hard. They were prohibited from covering up.

The 8 girls, April, Dora, Stephanie, Cora, Cindy, Zoe, and the new ones, Rachel and Amy, circled them, moving around, looking each boy over. They’d moved them from the front of the house to the back, just in case anyone drove down the road. The girls watched each of the five dicks jerk up and down on their own, and saw the shame and fear in the eyes of their brothers and friends. It was a most remarkable time in any of their lives.

“What do we do with them?” Zoe asked after she’d made two rounds of the boys.

“Measure them,” Amy said. “My brother is the same age as most of them, but his thing doesn’t look any bigger than Glenn’s.” The look on each of the boy’s faces was priceless, and April ran into her house to find all the rulers she could, along with a small notebook to record the results.

There wasn’t a lot of difference. The longest belonged to Adam, at 4 and 13/16^th inches. The smallest was Glenn’s at four inches exactly, although Amy had been close. Her brother’s dick was just an 8^th of an inch longer than the smallest. After him was a tie between the new boy, Randy, and Gabe at 4.5, then Ryan at just a 16^th inch shorter than Adam’s.

The best part of measuring them was that some of the girls got to touch the dick belonging to their favorite boy. Amy especially took advantage of this, grabbing her brother’s dick and rubbing it as he begged her twice to stop. But she kept on, soon seeing what a friend from her old house had said would happen as he began spraying the stuff his balls made onto the ground.

“I’ll bet they’d all look closer to the same if none of them had any hair down there,” Zoe said once the younger new girl finished making Randy shoot.

“No, please,” begged several of the boys. “We’ll do anything,” Adam said. “But don’t cut our pubes.”

“Okay, we won’t cut them, but remember, you said you’d do anything,” Zoe said.

“Besides,” Cora said. “There are ways to remove unsightly hair without cutting it.” She saw the anger and surprise on the boy’s faces. “But we’ll save that for when you fail to do anything.”

“As much as possible, we are going to keep you guys naked,” April said. “Obviously, we can’t involve Ms. Ryder or your parents. But beyond that, expect to be seen naked a lot. For you guys, there will be no locked doors. In fact, leave the door to your bedroom and the bathroom open. You have no privacy.”

“For how long?” Glenn asked.

“Until the virus closings are lifted and we all go back to school and our parents return from their jobs at regular intervals,” Zoe said. “Best guess, a week or two.”

“We have pictures of most of you, and we may take more,” April said. “This is to keep you to your agreement that you will do anything. When the pandemic is over, those pictures will be deleted.” She looked at each of the other girls, making eye contact with them. “This is mandatory, and there will be no exceptions,” she said. You will not share them with anyone who is not standing here with us at this time. Do each of you agree?”

A few of them looked disappointed, but they saw the need for it. Keeping them would be dangerous. They all agreed to that condition.

“Also, you will not hurt the boys in any way. Any punishments beyond keeping them naked will require a unanimous agreement between us all.” Again, each girl accepted that. At that moment, the boys knew their fate was sealed. For the next week and likely longer, their lives were not under their control. The girls controlled everything.

“How did we end up in this mess?” Adam lamented.

“We were bored,” Gabe responded.

“And foolish,” added Steffanie. “Especially foolish.”

The rules had been given to the boys in the Granger’s backyard. They still stood naked and ashamed, and surrounded by the girls. April was just about to let brothers and sisters go their separate way when two girls stepped out of the woods behind them.

“Wow, I thought it was just the boys being stupid,” Marsha Winters said. “We didn’t know it was organized.”

Everyone turned. Next to Marsha was Joanne Johnson. The two girls were in ninth grade along with April, Cora, and Zoe.

“They saw us naked at the school,” Boyd explained. His shame was rising to new levels with the addition of two more girls.

“Look, it isn’t quite like you think,” April said, nervous about what the two girls were going to do after finding every boy in her neighborhood naked in her backyard.

“Actually, we’ve been listening for several minutes,” Marsha said. “I think we know exactly what is going on. And don’t worry about us, we’re just glad to see we are not the only ones with stupid boys to care for. Give them a few minutes to get here and you’ll see what I mean.”

A few minutes later, four very naked boys stepped out of the woods, the hands behind their heads, followed by two more girls. They all knew each other from school. Three of the boys, Marsha’s brother Hank, Joanne’s brother Carl, and Dawn Jones’ brother Liam, were all in eighth grade. A second brother of Joanne, Craig, was twelve and in seventh grade. Naomi Garcia, 13, was also in attendance.

April introduced the new kids to the neighborhood, Rachel, Randy, and Amy Cook.

“We all live on Rosewood Drive, across from the school,” Marsha said. “Our boys, well, these four, couldn’t stay out of trouble. Three days ago I saw Adam stand during class. I guess he forgot his camera was still active, and he was totally naked. That gave us some ideas. Then we saw your boys playing a stripping game at the school, and we wanted ours to join in. We almost met today, but your boys ran off before we could explain.”

“Wait, my brother was naked during school three days ago?” Dora asked. She looked at him and saw him nod, his face hung in shame that other girls had seen him without him even being aware.

“Yeah,” Naomi answered. “Me and Marsha attend school at my house. We both saw him stand. He left the room and came back a few seconds later with an apple. We pretty much saw everything.”

Marsha continued. “Anyway, we pretty much have enough dirt on these guys that we can make them get naked and there isn’t much they can do about it. But there’s a lot more houses on our street, so being naked outside is much more dangerous. Two other girls and one of Liam’s friends know about it. But now that we know about Able Avenue group, we wonder if we can bring them over here? Maybe even a few sleepovers?”

“That’s fine by me,” Dora said as she eyed the boy in her grade. “But they need to get measured first.”

“What for?” Naomi asked. “Do you have special clothing for them to wear?”

April still had her notebook. “No. We measured the penis of each of our boys. We’d like to add yours to the list.” She showed the measurements of the five boys from her street.

“Oh, that must be so embarrassing for them. Do it, yes,” Joanne said. She had seen who Nora had been looking at the most. “Craig would absolutely hate to have you measure him,” she said with a smile. “You and Amy can work together. Have as much fun as you want.”

Twelve-year-old Craig wished he could fall into a hole and be swallowed up by the earth. Two girls were advancing on him with ruler. His dick was twitching around, but he’d learned from two spankings not to touch himself without permission. He and his brother weren’t even allowed to pee unless one of the girls was there to watch, supposedly so they wouldn’t use the time to jack off.

Minutes later, more numbers were added to the notebook. Naturally, Craig had the smallest, smaller even than Glenn’s. He measured 3 and 7/8^th inches. His brother was next at four and a quarter. Then Hank’s 4 and 3/8ths and finally Liam at 4 and three quarters. A picture was made of the page so the girls on both sides of the school could have the list.

“My house is empty because both of my parents are in the army,” Zoe said. “I’m staying at the Ryder’s with Cora and Cindy. But Ms. Ryder has let the three of us spend a night at my place a few times. It would be easy to have everyone there if the weather is bad. And you guys could use it for logging onto the Class if you’re using a laptop.”

“My mom runs a business from home, and the video link for school messes with that,” Joanne said. She’d be more than happy for me and my brothers to have somewhere else to go.”

“My mom doesn’t trust Hank, so he has to attend school in the living room,” Marsha said. “But I could tell her you guys have a study group and bring him over to do his homework. Maybe she’d even let him attend from here as long as she could ring him up and make sure he’s paying attention.”

“My mom looks in via computer from her work,” Dawn said. “But me and Liam could be anywhere, as long as we’re logged on. She trusts me to be her eyes and ears when she’s away.”

“Doesn’t this violate the social distancing that we are all supposed to maintain?” Hank asked, hoping to not have to come here naked every morning for school.

“We’ll have to check their temperatures twice a day,” April said. “And I know just how to do it.”

“Not that way,” Boyd said. “Not by you, or in front of the others. Please April, not that.”

The other girls all looked surprised that he would be embarrassed to have his siter check his temperature. Until April explained.

“My mom is a nurse and she says the most accurate way to measure a person’s temperature is with an anal thermometer. We have four of them, so we can do the nine boys in two groups.”

“What does that mean?” Glenn asked, not understanding.

“They’re going to use a thermometer that goes up your ass instead of in your mouth,” Boyd said. Immediately all the girls were on board with it. The boys were all opposed, but their vote didn’t count. It was decided that right then was as good a time to start as any.

April had to show each girl how to do it. How to apply lubrication, and to loosen the muscle that holds the anus closed. She used her brother to demonstrate. She’d never been given the opportunity to do it, but she’d watched her mom do it several times when she and Boyd were younger.

“You stick your finger in his ass?” Amy asked. “Do I get to do that to Glenn?”

“If she gets to do Glenn, then I get to do Craig Johnson,” Dora said, her panties getting damp from the thought of sticking a finger into a schoolmate’s ass.

“Don’t worry, we’ll be doing them twice a day,” Joanne said. “There will plenty of opportunity for each of us to do a boy we want.” She had her eye on Adam now that she knew he had the longest dick.

“I’ll work out a chart so we get to do different boys each time,” Zoe suggested. “If there is a boy you’d rather not do, then let me know. Same thing if you have a favorite. I’ll try to arrange the chart to meet those circumstances.”

They got to work. April assisted each girl, and some of them she thought needed to do it twice. The end result was that each of the nine boys were done once and an unlucky six of them had their temperature taken twice. And part way thorough Zoe learned something new. She had her index finger inside Gabe’s ass and felt a little bump in there. The moment she touched it she heard him gasp and saw his dick suddenly seem to stand up even taller as it twitched. She rubbed the spot again, with the same reaction. She continued to do it, ignoring the boy’s instance that she stop.

April came over and observed. “That’s his prostate,” she said. “Massaging it like that will make him get an erection and eventually have an orgasm.” As soon as she said it, three bursts of thick, white sperm shot an inch into the air and landed on the boy’s abdomen.

The other girls who were not currently doing a boy came over and watched, and couldn’t wait until their next turn.

The method also showed another problem. None of the boys were clean back there. It was decided that starting today, girls would be responsible for bathing the boys. Another chart to work out, plus logistics for how to do it in homes where one or more parent was.

Naomi had one more thing she wanted to confirm; something a friend of hers had told her that she didn’t believe. But first, she needed the other girls to agree to a new rule. “Boys lie, it’s in their nature,” she said. “We should demand that they be truthful to us.”

Stated like that, all the girls quickly agreed. Then she turned to Boyd.

“Boyd, before this have any girls seen you naked? I mean, in the last year or so, not when you were a little kid.”

His eyes told the truth, but he stammered, “Yeah, I guess,” as an answer.

“You guess?” his sister asked. “Or is that a lie? Do you know or are you guessing?”

Defeat showed on his whole body. “Last summer me and Zeke Adams played strip poker with Carol Northcut and Lisa Butler. We lost. I think they cheated. We had to stand in front of them for like ten minutes and let them touch us.”

“So, you lied when you said you guessed,” April said with a smirk. She loved the way her brother’s pose had changed from one who showed strength and determination to one that showed absolute submission.

“Yeah, I guess,” he said, looking at the ground.” I mean, yeah, I lied.”

“Lisa doesn’t live very far from me,” Joanne said. “Carl, you came home almost in tears last summer after you’d been to her house. Was it the same reason?”

Now another boy was showing fear. “Yes. Me and Liam. And yeah, we think the girls cheated too.”

“Well, if you were stupid enough to play, you deserved it,” his sister asserted. “You wouldn’t have been upset at all if you had won. But you guys were just 12 last year. I wonder if Lisa and Carol would like to see how much you’ve changed?”

“No, please, that isn’t fair,” Boyd said. He saw Glenn giggle. “They won’t just show us off, they’ll show all of you guys too.” The giggle ended immediately.

“That’s right, we will,” Steffanie said, smiling at her brothers. “You guys no longer are allowed to make decisions. You gave that up, at least until things return to normal.”

“Invite them over,” Cora said. “In fact, our boys like playing basketball at the school. Tell them to meet us there.” A collective sigh of misery came from the nine boys. The basketball was obtained and the boys, accompanied by the 12 girls, headed down the trail to the school.

When Joanne Johnson called and mentioned that Boyd, Carl, and Liam were going to be behind the school shooting baskets and that she and Carol would be very interested to come and watch, Lisa knew something was up. It would either be very interesting and fun, or the games she and her friend had played to trick boys out of their clothing was to be discussed. She called Carol, and they headed for the school. But rather than walk blindly around the back, they would creep up to the corner and see what was up. Neither of them expected what they found. Nine naked boys shooting baskets, with a dozen dressed girls watching. It was the stuff dreams were made of. They quickly came around the corner and approached the group.

“How?” was all Lisa could think to ask as she and Carol joined the girls.

“They’re boys,” Joanne said. “They are stupid normally, but when they get bored they become even dumber. We caught them doing things they don’t want parents to know, and they accepted life under our rules as punishment. We plan to keep them naked as often as possible until the restriction on self-isolation are lifted.”

“You know, I’ve heard rumors that a few other girls are keeping their brothers naked in different ways too,” Lisa said. “We need a social network to see who is doing this. Maybe some sharing. I think I’ll give Zeke Adams’ sister a call. I’d love for him to be part of this group, and I think she’d be willing to assist.”

“I’ve got two cousins staying with us, and they are driving me crazy with noise and practical jokes,” Carol said. “I wish I could catch them at something big enough to make them accept nudity instead of my dad punishing them.”

“How old are they?” April asked.

“Twelve and thirteen,” Carol said. “They are rude and tell nasty jokes. And twice I think they tried to sneak into the bathroom while I was showering. Thank god I remembered to lock the door.”

“Then it’s easy,” Zoe said. “Set your phone up to record a movie and make sure they are around to hear you forget to lock the door.”

“But then they’ll see me naked.” Carol said, dismissing the idea immediately.

“Not if you shower in a bathing suit,” Zoe said. She saw the smile spread across the girl’s face.

And so it began. Soon, there were another seven boys and nine girls taking part in the Able Avenue area for Naked Boys. But there were other girls who had similar, but much more limited experiences. They began to communicate, sharing ideas, successes, and visits when possible, mostly for those who didn’t live far from the school.

For the nearly one hundred kids who were on Ms. Ryder’s attendance list, they began staying on line after the class ended. And once she was gone, boys were told to stand, allowing other girls to see them.

For Boyd, Adam, Gabe, Glenn, Randy, Hank, Craig, Carl, and Liam, they figured that of the approximately 385 girls in their school, at least a third of them had seen them naked. For the next two and a half weeks, they had no privacy at all. Girls bathed them, checked their temperature twice a day, and they even had girls watch them use the bathroom. They were mostly naked 24 hours a day.

Occasionally, other girls from around the school came to visit, and sometimes these visits included other boys they knew from school. Not all the boys who came along were naked, which made it even more embarrassing. As rumors spread that the schools were about to re-open, these visits became more frequent. Girls they would soon be sitting next to in school were more than willing to help with getting the boys prepared for having their temperature taken.

On the day that classes did resume, the girls had one more humiliation for the boys from Able Avenue. They were required to remove their clothing once in the woods and make their way all the way to the basketball court before being allowed to dress. They found out later that this was planned, and that many more girls knew about it and had gotten to school early. The windows on the back wall were filled with mostly, but not exclusively, girls. That pushed the percentage of girls who saw them naked up to nearly 50% of the school’s female population.

It wasn’t all bad. They had become some of the more popular kids in school. Girls wanted to sit with them, and eventually the shame from knowing that these girls knew exactly what they looked like under their clothing wore off. But it was never forgotten.
