The boys rarely talked to the girls, and the girls rarely talked to the boys. Among the boys, Peter was the kingmaker. If Peter said you were "in," every boy wanted to be your friend; if Peter said you were "out," you would be sitting alone at lunch. On the girls' side, it was Susan. The day after Susan cut her hair short, thirty girls went in for haircuts. The focus of the social day was not recess, which was closely monitored by teachers. It was the half hour that the kids spent in the playground after school, waiting for the bus to arrive. This was a much less supervised time. So one Friday, when Peter and Susan spent the entire half hour *together* behind the old Elm tree, the other kids did not play--they did not tell jokes--they did nothing except whisper and murmur about the only question that mattered. What could Peter and Susan possibly be talking about? The two did not come out of seclusion until just a few minutes before the bus arrived, and then they would not say anything about their discussion. But Susan pulled aside one girl: a shy, skinny girl named Betsy, with long dark hair and freckles, who always seemed to be watching Susan longingly through her glasses. "Betsy," said Susan, "I need you to do a favor for me on Monday." "What's that?" Betsy tried to sound casual, but she was thrilled. A favor for Susan was the ticket to a social position that Betsy had only dreamed of. "I need you to wear a T-shirt and gym shorts. You know the kind, with the elastic band?" "It's October, Susan, it's getting cold for shorts, isn't it?" Susan didn't answer at all, and immediately Betsy regretted asking the question. Susan just walked away and got onto the school bus. On Monday, Betsy arrived in gym shorts. Betsy felt painfully conspicuous all that day, with her skinny bare legs surrounded by the jeans and long skirts that all the other students were wearing. Her slightly chilly legs kept tensing up, and the feeling of being stared at made her feel more uncomfortable than flattered. She fought the urge to cover her legs with a sweater, suspecting that Susan would not approve. Her sacrifice paid off when she was invited to sit at Susan's table at the lunch room. Betsy sat in awe, not saying anything, but just listening to the conversation of all the coolest, prettiest girls in the school. Inside her head, she was saying a prayer: please don't let me blow this. Let me do this right. As the kids gathered in the playground after school that afternoon, Peter gathered all the boys around him. He seemed to be explaining something to them in great detail that none of the girls could hear. The girls played and chatted in their usual way. When Susan approached, Betsy didn't wait to be asked. "What can I do for you, Susan? Is there something else you would like me to wear tomorrow?" "No," replied Susan, "But I do need something right now, and this is very important. Go stand behind the Elm tree, where Peter and I were on Friday. Just stand there. The rest of us will make sure no teachers come around to your side. When a boy shows up, ignore him--don't talk, don't even move if you can help it. Just stand there." "OK, Susan. I won't mess it up, I promise." Betsy wondered if all of Susan's friends had to undergo this barrage of strange requests. But she certainly wasn't going to argue a second time. She walked behind the tree and waited. Very shortly, Peter walked behind the tree with her. Susan was suddenly terrified. Was he going to make fun of her? Play tricks on her? Was he going to...kiss her? Was that what this was all about? Peter did not say a word. He reached out and very casually, as if it were the most natural thing in the world, grabbed the front of her gym shorts. Then he pulled them--not down, but out toward him--and looked down them at Betsy's simple white panties. Betsy gasped. She was not ready for this, and she had no idea what to do. Should she run? Slap him? No, Susan had said not to do anything. She closed her eyes and waited for him to stop. A moment later, his hand came back, his knuckles gently brushing her stomach. Then he pulled back again, this time taking her panties with the shorts, and stared down at her...at her...Betsy stifled an involuntary scream. He was staring straight down at her small patch of hair. He just sat there, shorts in hand, looking down for a minute or two. Then he released the shorts--gradually, not snapping them painfully back--and walked away. Betsy wanted to faint, to run, to tell a teacher. On second thought, she did not want to tell anybody. She wanted to run onto the bus and go home, but the bus would not come for another twenty minutes. What should she do? Just as she was trying to decide, another boy walked around to her side of the tree. This was Ed, one of Peter's best friends, and the sight of him reminded Betsy of her promise. Maybe Ed was coming to tell her that she had passed some sort of test, that she could come out now. She waited...but Ed did not say a word. Like Peter, he walked up, grabbed her shorts and panties, and pulled out. As he looked down into them, he broke into a sweat, as if he were terrified that Betsy would do something, or that he would be caught. But Betsy did nothing, while Ed bent down and leered into her shorts. And then he let go suddenly and ran back around the tree. For the first time, Betsy realized what was happening. Her most secret place had been offered up to all of the boys. She dashed back around the tree, not even knowing what she was going to do, and ran smack into Susan. Fervently, but very quietly so as not to be overheard, she began to sob. "Oh Susan, please don't make me do this. Please, I'm begging you. Two boys have already seen me, isn't that enough, please don't let all of them do it." Susan looked almost kind as she leaned down. "Betsy, I know this is hard for you. But I've already made a promise to Peter, and he's promised all the other boys. You don't want to make us both liars, do you? Now, I need you to get back behind the tree. The bus is coming in only fifteen minutes, it will all be over then." Betsy looked around wildly and realized there was no escape. The boys were pretending to be engrossed in trading Magic cards, but they were all eyeing the tree, waiting for their turn. Slowly, almost numbly, she walked back around the tree. The next boy in turn was Al. As he approached, Betsy closed her eyes, determined to ignore him and hoping it would go quickly. She heard his footsteps approaching, and then he leaned down and whispered in her ear. "Turn around." "What?" she gasped, and realized she had been holding her breath. "Turn around. I want to see the back." Betsy's hands were shaking as she turned around slowly to face the tree. Had this been part of the promise? Or was Al just making it up? She had no way of finding out. When she was facing the tree, Al pulled back her shorts and stared lustfully at her ass. As he pulled the elastic band slowly back into place, his fingers brushed down into her crack. Betsy shivered from the strange, almost-tickling sensation. But before she could say anything, Al was gone, and she turned around again, ready for the next humiliation, desperately trying not to cry. To distract her mind from the unthinkable reality, Betsy started counting boys. Frank. Don. Sam. 7, 8, 9...18, 19, 20...finally, the last boy came and went. Betsy thought she was going to collapse onto the ground. She started to walk back around the tree, desperately trying to keep her composure and look as if nothing at all had happened, when Peter came back around to "her" side. She stared at him with a look of horror. "Peter, what are you doing? You've already had your turn!" "I get one more turn," Peter said simply. "That was the last part of the deal. Back up to the tree so we make sure no teacher can see." Betsy was surprisingly calm as she acceded to the request. One more would just not change anything, and anyway, Peter had already seen it all anyway. Peter pulled out the shorts with his left hand, just as before. And then suddenly he took his right hand and put them *into* her shorts, only an inch away from her skin...and didn't touch her. Betsy's body was suddenly filled with an agony of conflicting feelings. She was terrified that Peter would touch her, and she also, in some way that she didn't understand, wanted to feel the touch. He stayed this way for agonizing moments, his left hand holding the shorts out, his right hand down in her panties. Then slowly, slowly, he reached out and put his finger into her slit: not deeply, just barely touching. Betsy bit her lip to keep from screaming. Peter sat there for another interminable period of time, not moving, finger inserted only to the first knuckle. Then, still very slowly, he began to move his finger up and down her slit. Betsy started writhing. She clutched the tree behind her, praying that it would stop and praying that he would go deeper and praying for anything at all to change, but Peter just moved up and down, up and down, up and down. He pushed in just a tiny bit deeper. Betsy had read the word "orgasm" only in secretly shared books, but she knew it when it hit. Her whole body convulsed, her muscles stiffened, her eyes opened wide, all the sensations she had been feeling seemed to come together in a swirl around Peter's barely felt finger. It was ecstatic, and it was unfamiliar, and it was utterly and totally humiliating to swoon so totally in front of Peter, on the playground, just a few feet away from where all the other students were pretending to play. For just a moment, she saw Peter's eyes watching her with a strange combination of sympathy and amusement. Then he pulled his hand away, gently released her shorts, and whispered "You're done now." The two of them walked together back around the tree, and onto the playground. Betsy could not stand to look at anyone. She knew that whenever the boys looked at her now, they would see her naked. The girls would be more contemptuous of her than they had ever been. She would be stupid and skinny and exposed forever. But why? She was not surprised that Susan would betray and humiliate her to get what she wanted--that was in character. But what was in it for Susan? Betsy watched silently as all the other kids got on the bus. She got on almost last. Behind her in line, waiting until everyone else had gone, were Peter and Al. As Betsy walked onto the bus, she was the only one who saw Peter putting his arm confidentally around Al's shoulders. "I need you to do me a favor, buddy. Tomorrow, when you come to school, I need you to wear gym shorts."
