Carrie for her part realized that the form alone was quite embarrassing and she it would be devastating if it ever fell into the wrong hands! Before the girls left, they each took one last lingering look at Carrie -(TM)s still aroused clit, each giving her an awkward grin as they bid her good-bye. There was no escaping the fact that whenever Carrie was aroused everyone would know it. Well, not only because of the size of her clit when excited but also by the copious amount of vaginal lubrication she produced making it quite obvious she was very horny. It was so humiliating! She now understood how boys felt. After arriving at her home, Carrie couldn -(TM)t sleep; conflicting thoughts kept invading her mind. She lay in bed replaying the events of that night in her mind over and over. To think, a MAN actually thought she was pretty!! That thought alone led her to three of the best orgasms she had ever had! True, she was almost humiliated to death at first by being discovered naked by Traci and Kim but that was nothing compared to being seen by a male AND he thought she was pretty! He was so cool about it too. He didn -(TM)t complain or anything! Carrie couldn -(TM)t get over that. But deep down in the recesses of her mind she felt those feelings were wrong and she was embarrassed by being seen naked. She wasn -(TM)t a model or even close to being one of the cool girls. After her fourth orgasm of the night, she began to get more realistic about this whole affair. She realized that she might have to actually go through with this initiation thing. She was sure Traci and Kim wouldn -(TM)t let it go. She would just have to think of something to wiggle her way out of this without offending Mandy, her one -true - friend. Still, it was nice for a change to be popular among so many people! That alone was pretty cool. The next time they got together was on a Saturday. Carrie was sitting on the couch naked talking to Mandy when Traci and Kim came over. Mandy didn -(TM)t seem to be expecting them but made them feel welcome anyway. -Did you -~get-off -(TM) after you went home Carrie? - Traci teased. -You sure were worked up before we left! - The girls chuckled while looking at Carrie - their not so veiled reference to her engorged clitoris wasn -(TM)t lost on her. Trying to maintain some sense of dignity Carrie responded indignantly, -What a question! I can -(TM)t believe you even asked that! - -Oh, come on, - Traci said musically, -If that was me, I wouldn -(TM)t have even waited until I got home! You would have heard me moaning all the way downtown! - The girls then laughed all the louder. -You would have, wouldn -(TM)t you? - Mandy teased. -You -(TM)re such a slut. - All this free talk about something so intimate and so personal shocked Carrie, yet somehow the fact that her friends were so open about everything made her feel at ease, less uptight about her nudity. It also made her feel closer to them as a group having shared a conversation that obviously wouldn -(TM)t come up among just CASUAL acquaintances. After some general chatting about what had happed at school that past week, Kim finally interrupted and said, -Guys, we have work to do. We have to help Carrie get more points! - -Oh yeah, - Traci said with a grin. -It -(TM)s DAYLIGHT now! Being naked during the day is worth more, right? - Carrie found herself starting to panic. She had to find a way out of this. She looked at Mandy but she didn -(TM)t seem to get her subtle clues so she decided to speak up for herself. -Um . . . isn -(TM)t there anything on that list that I can earn points for without being totally naked? - The girls looked shocked that Carrie would even ASK such a question. Mandy flipped through the clipboard and said, -Let -(TM)s see . . . ah, yes as a matter of fact there are two things that don -(TM)t involve complete nudity. I assume they are beginner -(TM)s challenges because they aren -(TM)t worth much -" only 2 points each. - -Good! - Carrie said firmly. -I want to do those today! I don -(TM)t care what they are. Let -(TM)s just do them, okay? - Traci and Kim looked at Carrie with obvious disappointment, like someone deflated a balloon. Carrie began to be concerned. It bothered her for some reason that she was letting them down even though she was only trying to protect herself. It didn -(TM)t make sense, but that -(TM)s how she felt so she quickly added, -I just want to cross them off the list, you know . . . I need all the points I can get. We can move on to other things later. - -Oh . . . - Traci and Kim said with relief and suddenly they appeared proud of Carrie again. -Are you SURE you want to do these, Carrie? - Mandy asked. -Positive. - -Okay then, let -(TM)s get you dressed and head out. - -What does she have to do? - Kim asked. Mandy showed her the clipboard and Kim began to giggle. -What are you laughing at? - Carrie asked as she pulled her panties on. -What do I have to do? - -Sorry, - Mandy spoke up. -Can -(TM)t tell you, it says you are to be surprised. - Kim nodded her head in agreement. -Yep, that -(TM)s what it says, all right. - -Fine, I -(TM)m ready. Let -(TM)s go. - The girls all piled into Mandy -(TM)s car and they headed out. Mandy drove around several subdivisions before stopping the car in front of a house. -Why are we stopping? - Carrie asked totally confused. -It -(TM)s a yard sale. - Mandy explained. -Let -(TM)s check it out. - Carrie was amused. Poor Mandy, she thought. That girl has a one-track mind: shopping, she mused. Oh well, perhaps she could find a bargain here too. As they walked up the lawn, she heard someone say, -Hi Carrie! - It was Matt Taylor from school. -Hi Matt, - Carrie said acknowledging her friend, -Out shopping too? - -No, I live here. This is my house. - The girls were all smiles at seeing Matt which gave Carrie Goosebumps. Something about their grins made her nervous. She moved on and began looking at some of the stuff displayed on the tables and the other girls did the same. After a few minutes she began to calm down. The yard sale was fairly large. She wandered about checking things out when Kim came over holding a dress. -What do you think of this, Carrie, do you like it? - -Yeah, it -(TM)s pretty. - -Good, try it on. - -Huh? - Kim smiled and whispered, -That -(TM)s your task. You have to strip down to your underwear and try on a garment at a yard sale. - -WHAT? HERE?!!! - By now Mandy and Traci had joined them and Mandy confirmed her fears. -But . . . MATT -(TM)S HERE! - She could see the looks on their faces and she did, after all, say that she wanted to do the non-nude tasks no matter what. -Oh, all right. Hurry up and hand me that dress. - -Not until you strip first, - Kim said slyly. Carrie blushed profusely and began quickly taking off her T-shirt and tossed it to Mandy. Her only hope was to try on the dress without attracting attention and then get dressed in her own clothes before anyone noticed. She had just unzipped her jeans and pulled them down to her knees when she realized that she would have to take her shoes off before taking off the jeans otherwise they would get stuck. She hopped on one leg as she tried to remove the first shoe. Her hopping drew Matt -(TM)s attention and he approached the group. -What -(TM)s going on? - he asked studying the odd sight before him. -MATT! - Carrie almost shrieked! If it were possible to die from embarrassment she would have dropped dead right then and there. -She -(TM)s trying on this dress, - Mandy explained. -That -(TM)s okay isn -(TM)t it? - Carrie tried not to look at her classmate and struggled to remove her remaining shoe. -Ah yeah, I guess it -(TM)s Okay. Carrie, you could use the house if you want. - Matt said trying to be gallant. -Um . . . No, that -(TM)s Okay, this won -(TM)t take a minute. - Carrie said as she slid off her jeans. She was now standing in just her bra and ill-fitting panties. As she looked up to retrieve the dress, she caught Matt -(TM)s eyes. They were glistening and this embarrassed her to no end. Matt didn -(TM)t avert his eyes either, but stood there taking it all in. She could literally feel the tension among the girls as they too looked back and forth between her and Matt. After putting on the dress, Carrie tried to act as though it didn -(TM)t bother her. -What do you think, Matt? - she asked as she twirled around showing off the dress. Matt laughed, - Truthfully, I liked you better the other way! - -You perv! - Kim said giggling. -Well, I like it, - Carrie said trying to make light of the situation. -I -(TM)ll take it. - -Do you want to wear it home? - Matt asked politely. -No, she -(TM)ll change back. - Traci quickly said smiling. Stepping back to watch Matt said, -Suits me. - Carrie nervously stripped off the dress. As she was standing in just her bra and panties once again, an angry voice called out, -Just what is going over here? - -Mother! - Matt said nervously. The older lady came right up to Carrie and gave her a disapproving look. Carrie suddenly felt very ashamed. -I . . . was just trying on this dress, - she said with her voice quivering. -Ah huh . . . I -(TM)ll bet. - -Really mom, she did try it on. She -(TM)s going to buy it. - Matt said coming to her defense. His mom gave him a glare and pointed toward the house indicating she wanted him to leave. Matt hung his head and silently walked off. -And you, young lady . . . get dressed and leave this instant and I -(TM)ll thank you NOT to EVER come back do you hear? - -Yes ma -(TM)am, - Carrie replied meekly. Leaving Carrie standing in her underwear, she stomped off yelling, -Matt, I want a word with you! - As the lady walked off Carrie slowly put her own clothes back on and they left. Carrie was so ashamed and she could barely find the courage to face her friends. -That was soooooo sweet! - Traci said as they drove off. -Did you see the look on Matt -(TM)s face when he saw Carrie? -Forget the look, did you see his boner? - Kim exclaimed. -No way! - Traci argued. -Yes way, I thought he was going to pop the snap off his britches! - The girls all laughed as they drove along singing, -Carrie gave Matt a boner. Carrie gave Matt a boner! - Suddenly this was all fun again. -Did I really? - Carrie asked naively. -Hell yes, girl! - Kim said proudly. -Just imagine what would have happened if he had seen you completely NAKED! - Public Nudity for Points -" Part Five Carrie sat nervously in the backseat of the car as they drove along. She was a mixture of raw emotions. Even though she wasn -(TM)t naked for this last stunt, MATT TAYLOR, a boy in her class, saw her in her underwear! This may not have been a big thing to many of the girls on campus (or to you, gentle readers,) but to Carrie it was earth-shattering. She wasn -(TM)t sure if she could EVER face him again at school. Still there were those undeniable feelings down below and if her friends were right, she had aroused him with her body -" a body she didn -(TM)t think was worth much. She wasn -(TM)t sure if she could really accept that fact or not, but it made her feel good. She didn -(TM)t have long to brood over her conflicting feelings though. -On to the next task! - she heard Kim say excitedly. Why in the world was she going along with all this? She knew it was all bogus. There was no club initiation, no point system; no selection committee. Then she looked over at Mandy driving the car and she knew why -" it was all so that Mandy could save face. Carrie would do ANYTHIHG to keep from hurting her friend. Besides she was too chicken to make waves, especially not since having come so far and after all the things she had done. If she revealed that the initiation story was indeed bogus, what would Traci and Kim think of her then? The only rational explanation then for running around the neighborhood naked would be that she was a slut! Carrie was a lot of things but she was definitely not a slut. No, she had to stick it out. Surely it couldn -(TM)t get much worse. Mandy pulled into the parking garage of the Bilton Hotel -" a luxury high-rise building in the middle of downtown. -Why are we here? - Carrie asked nervously. -To do your next task silly, - Kim explained laughing still holding the clipboard. -Let -(TM)s go inside, - Mandy said as she opened her car door. -Then I -(TM)ll explain it all to you. - Buoyed by the fact that this was supposed to be a non-nude task she mustered up the courage to join the girls. She needed all the strength she could get however. Being seen in her underwear in a quiet residential neighborhood was totally different than being in a crowded downtown hotel! She could only hope this new task wasn -(TM)t as bad as she feared. Mandy directed the girls to the first-floor restroom and told them to wait for her as she had something to do. -I -(TM)ll join you in a minute. - The girls all marveled at how luxurious the bathroom fixtures were. Marble countertops, brass faucets, huge ornate mirrors, it was like nothing they had ever seen. Of course, the formality of the restroom only heightened Carrie -(TM)s fears of how out of place it would be to be seen in just her underwear in such a magnificent place. Fortunately, the restroom was empty which gave Carrie a little relief. Mandy soon returned carrying something. -Are you ready for your next task, Carrie? This should be easy. - -I suppose . . . what do I have to do? - -You are to walk out and mingle for FIVE minutes in the hotel lobby wearing only this, pretending that you are looking for someone, - Mandy said as she held out a white towel with the Bilton Hotel logo on it. -I snatched it from the pool area. - The girls all giggled as Carrie held up the towel. It wasn -(TM)t very big. In fact, it looked as though it might not cover the essentials. -You mean I -(TM)ll be NAKED under this little towel and I have to go out there in front of all those people and walk around for FIVE minutes! - Carrie said swallowing hard. -Pretty much that -(TM)s right, - Mandy said. -And if you do that, you -(TM)ll get another 2 points. - -Gee, that -(TM)s hardly seems worth it, - Traci noted. -Here we -(TM)ve been running around all morning and all Carrie has to show for it will be a few lousy points. What if she was seen in the lobby naked? How many points would that be worth? - -WHAT?!! - Carrie exclaimed almost at the top of her lungs. Kim jumped in siding with Carrie. -She -(TM)ll get arrested for sure. - -Not if it wasn -(TM)t her fault, - Traci said calmly. -What do you mean? - -Here -(TM)s my idea. Carrie puts on the towel and walks around for 5 minutes -" that -(TM)ll give her 2 points then I -(TM)ll come up and start an argument with her and then steal the towel and run away with it leaving her naked. Since it wasn -(TM)t her fault no one will blame her. Then Carrie can then make a dash out the door. Mandy will be waiting outside at the curb with the car running and we can all then, as they say, get the heck out of Dodge. How many points would that be worth? - Mandy and Kim were giggling at hearing Traci -(TM)s idea. -Let -(TM)s see that -(TM)s 2 points for the towel part, 20 points for being naked outside during daylight, 5 points for being seen by other people, 5 bonus points for being seen by more than 10 people and 10 bonus points for it being a risky public exposure. If I did my math right, that -(TM)s 52 points. - -WOW, FIFTY-TWO points, - Traci said with pride not realizing that her idea was worth so much. Gee Carrie you -(TM)ve just GOT to do this! - -Yeah, Carrie, that -(TM)s a LOT of points. You can -(TM)t let this opportunity pass by. - -Yes, but . . . I mean . . . I don -(TM)t know . . . - -Oh you aren -(TM)t going to CHICKEN out, are you? - Mandy asked sarcastically. She then made her now trademark -puppy dog - eyes and said, -Do it for me? It would be so much fun! - -So much fun for you, you mean! You aren -(TM)t the one going naked in a public lobby - Carrie thought silently to herself. Carrie looked at all the faces before her full of anticipation. She couldn -(TM)t back down now. How would she explain it? -No, I -(TM)m not chickening out, - she finally said firmly. -It -(TM)s just that this is such a fancy place, I -(TM)ll get thrown out just being out there in my towel. We -(TM)ll never have time to complete all of Traci -(TM)s idea. - -Sure you will, - Mandy said positively. -People walk in from the pool through the lobby all the time on their way back to their rooms. Everybody will just think you -(TM)ve been swimming, that -(TM)s all. Trust me. - Carrie was beginning to HATE those words. Reluctantly Carrie grabbed the towel and began to undress. Just stripping out of her clothes with the girls watching was awkward. What if someone came in? How would she explain that, she wondered? Once she was naked Traci snickered. -What are you snickering about? - Kim asked then looked at Carrie. -OH, I see . . . somebody -(TM)s already excited! - Carrie blushed and quickly wrapped the towel around her. -~Damn clitoris -(TM) she cursed to herself. Fortunately, the towel did indeed cover the essentials, much better than Carrie first thought. She looked herself over in the mirror and felt a little better. At least she had a chance now that people might think she had been swimming. -Just go out and walk around. - Traci instructed. -I -(TM)ll keep time. When you see me in the lobby, you -(TM)ll know your 5 minutes are up and you -(TM)ll have two points in the bag, then on with the good stuff. - With that Traci practically shoved poor Carrie out the door. Carrie had a death grip on her towel after stumbling out of the restroom. She nervously looked around and discovered that no one seemed to be paying attention to her. She stood there at the door and could hear the giggling of the girls inside which made her wince as she hoped no one else would hear them. The restrooms were along a wall about mid-way of the giant lobby. Directly in front of her about 30 feet away was the main registration desk and people were busy checking-in or out. To her left was the main entrance. As she looked to her right down the hall, she spotted the glass doors leading to the outdoor pool. She decided to slowly move in that direction so that it would look as though she was heading out for a swim. Of course, that also took her away from the main exit to the street where Mandy was supposed to be waiting with the car. She -(TM)d rather be nearer the exit, but it wouldn -(TM)t make sense that a girl in a towel would be there. No, she had to move away closer to the pool. As she took her first few steps walking on the cold marble tile beneath her bare feet, she became acutely aware of how inappropriate her attire was. Then she noticed the people, many dressed in business attire. She suddenly felt very insecure. As she ambled slowly along towards the pool, she would occasionally catch the eye of someone smiling back at her politely but no one seemed offended by her somewhat informal garb. A loud -DING - startled her and the elevator along the wall just ahead opened up and two rather good-looking teenage boys came out and looked her over. -Heading out for a swim? - One of the boys asked with a grin. -In a little while, - Carrie replied nervously. She was already quite aroused and now seeing these two quite handsome fellows while wearing only a towel made her wetness increase such that she began to get concerned that she might give herself away. -Great, we -(TM)ll see you out there then, - the teenager said and the two boys scampered off toward the pool. Carrie -(TM)s heart skipped a beat when he said -see you out there. - The very thought of these two boys possibly seeing her naked -" even if by chance, was almost too much to bear. Before going outside, the boys stopped and looked back at Carrie one last time and smiled at her. Carrie smiled back and then casually turned and pretended to be checking out a poster on the wall hoping they would leave her alone. It was then she spotted Mandy giving her a -~thumbs up -(TM) sign as she headed out the main entrance presumably to get the car ready. -Excuse me, - a voice from behind her called out. Carrie instinctively clutched her towel and nervously turned around. A smartly-dressed lady stood there smiling. -Are you thinking of seeing the play? - -Huh? - Carrie asked totally confused. -The play, - she said pointing at the poster. -It -(TM)s really good you know. I saw it last night. - -Oh . . . ah maybe, - Carrie said finally catching on. She had been so sure the lady was going to complain about her towel or worse, point out that she was showing something naughty that she shouldn -(TM)t be showing in public. She never imagined someone would want to engage her in casual conversation. -I might. It looks interesting, - she replied with relief. -Oh, it is, - the lady said giving Carrie the once over. All Carrie could think of was that the lady just KNEW she was naked under the towel. Carrie tried desperately not to blush and thus give herself away. -Are you in town on business? - -Oh . . . I live here, - Carrie replied without thinking. -You LIVE here? Why are you checked into the hotel then? - the lady asked obviously confused. -No . . . I mean . . . I don -(TM)t really LIVE here, - Carrie replied searching for a possible explanation. -I mean, that is, I -(TM)m here so often it FEELS like I live here. - She began shifting her feet nervously as she tried to think this through. -You are on business then? - -Um yes . . . sort of. - Carrie felt the towel begin to slip a little because of her constant shuffling so she forced herself to stand still and desperately grabbed hold firmly of towel where it was tucked inside itself almost making it come undone in the process. -Convention? - -Um yes, I -(TM)m with the convention, or rather my dad is. - Carrie said now feeling quite proud of her answer. -Well, have a good time, - the lady said smiling then left walking towards the front desk. -Do try and see the play. I -(TM)m sure you -(TM)d just love it. - Man, that was close, Carrie said to herself as her heart was still pounding. Then she saw Traci in the lobby smiling pointing towards her wristwatch. Her heart beat faster still as she now realized what was about to happen. She looked to her left and only a few people were milling about, then glanced back to her right and only a couple of people were over there as well -" much less than had been about only minutes before. -Oh gawd! - I can -(TM)t do this! Carrie muttered under her breath -I just can -(TM)t! - Traci continued her determined walk towards Carrie. Carrie wanted to run, to hide, heck, to just call the whole thing off. She decided to wait until Traci got closer and then quietly tell her she had changed her mind. Sure, she -(TM)d be disappointed but she -(TM)d just have to understand. She -(TM)d think of something later to explain herself. Then she heard Traci scream out at the top of her lungs causing everyone in the lobby to stop what they were doing and get deathly quiet. -YOU BITCH! - Traci screamed angrily, -YOU LOUSY THIEVING BITCH! - -But Traci, - Carrie muttered, -Don -(TM)t . . . - It was too late. Traci was on a roll! Public Nudity for Points -" Part Six -But Traci . . . - was all that Carrie could get out before being shoved by her friend. -I CAN -(TM)T BELIEVE YOU STOLE MY BOYFRIEND! HOW DARE YOU?! - Traci yelled furiously, drawing even more attention from those in the lobby. Except for Traci -(TM)s tirade, the lobby was dead silent and all eyes were upon the two girls. In another life, Traci could well have been an actress so convincing was she in her role of the angry betrayed girlfriend. Carrie -(TM)s eyes widened in a panic as she knew what was coming and wanted desperately to persuade her friend that she had changed her mind and wanted to call it off. -I -(TM)ve changed my mind . . . - Carrie said urgently but Traci didn -(TM)t get it and thought it was all part of the act. -IT -(TM)S TOO LATE FOR THAT -" HE LOVES YOU, NOW, YOU BITCH! - Traci then grabbed hold of the towel and simultaneously pushed Carrie backwards with such force that, not only did the towel come off in Traci -(TM)s hands, but Carrie landed unceremoniously on her butt on the cold marble floor with her legs splayed wide completely exposing her slippery wet charms to anyone who happened to be looking. -AAAaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh! - Carrie yelled in a panic! She didn -(TM)t have to pretend to be embarrassed -" she was totally mortified! There was a collective gasp that filled the lobby as the crowd observed what happened to the poor girl. Then someone started laughing, then another, and another and soon the whole lobby was chortling and sniggering as poor Carrie sat humiliated on the floor too shocked to move paralyzed with fear. Looking around they were all looking at her - men, women, guests and employees -" AND everyone was laughing! -SERVES YOU RIGHT, BITCH! - Traci said as she then ran off amid more shouts of laughter as the crowd realized the poor naked girl was now trapped. It took Carrie a few seconds to collect herself and realize what had just happened. She took the laughter to mean the crowd was making fun of her body rather than being amused at the whole situation. She looked around at all the people giggling and pointing and this only reinforced her conclusion. She then looked down and saw how unladylike she was splayed on the marble tile, her labia glistening quite clearly and her clitoris poking out prominently at the crowd and she shrieked - immediately closing her legs and springing to her feet. She wrapped her arms around her smallish breasts and took off towards the exit in front of her. She made it about 15 feet when the two large side doors suddenly opened some distance ahead of her and people began spilling out into the lobby! Hundreds of well-dressed convention-goers were leaving the auditorium and stepped right in front of poor Carrie, effectively blocking her escape as they mingled about! Carrie screamed again realizing her path was blocked by a whole new host of people who would now witness her shame. Her scream only served to draw attention to her standing naked in the lobby as up to now they had been oblivious to what had happened previously. -OH. My. GAWD, - someone shouted, -SHE -(TM)S NAKED! - Carrie, doing the only thing she thought she could do, instinctively turned around and retreated towards the pool doors showing her bare behind to hundreds of people as she ran off. She bolted out the doors and accidentally ran right into the arms of one of the cute teenage boys she had been conversing with only moments before. He was as shocked as she was! -WHOA! Are you all right? - Carrie wasn -(TM)t about to waste time answering, she jerked her arms rapidly away from the boy who wasn -(TM)t about to let go resulting in both of them falling down to the floor. The boy accidentally ended up on top of Carrie with his left hand squeezing her right breast! A BOY was fondling her, albeit accidently! It took a second or two for that to sink in and she didn -(TM)t quite know what to make of it. NO boy had EVER touched her before!! It felt good and was extremely humiliating at the same time. -OH GAWD, GET OFF ME! - she finally yelled coming to her senses. -Excuse me, I -(TM)m so sorry . . . I didn -(TM)t mean to . . . - the boy stammered as he realized where his hand had ended up. He blushed and quickly got off of her and extended his hand once again to help Carrie off the floor. Though the first boy was genuinely apologetic, his friend was displaying an evil grin as he was staring right at Carrie -(TM)s intimate and oh so slippery wet spot. Carrie noticed and wanted to slap him silly but then she heard more laughter -" this time coming from those in the outdoor pool area. She immediately jumped to her feet and began running around the pool looking for a way out. To her horror she discovered there wasn -(TM)t any! For security reasons the pool was walled off from the surrounding parking lot. The only way in or out was back through the lobby! She began to panic like a trapped rat. -Mommy where -(TM)s her swimsuit? - she heard a little girl ask. Carrie didn -(TM)t wait for the mother to answer. She made another dash back towards the pool entrance -" and the two cute teenage boys. She was totally embarrassed. Without further incident she managed to exit through the doors and into the lobby, once again seeing the crowd of people. They were all watching her. She assumed that they had known what she just discovered -" there was no way out but back through the lobby . . . and this time they were waiting for her. To her chagrin someone started clapping, then another and soon everyone was applauding. That was surprising to Carrie and for the first time she realized that she probably wasn -(TM)t going to be detained or arrested. She then saw the exit door and started for it in earnest. The crowd was still somewhat thick however and she had to slow down considerably as she squeezed her way past the multitude of people on a break from their lectures. She brushed against several individuals as she tried to escape and once, she was even sure someone had purposely squeezed her butt! She was too ashamed and in too much of a hurry to try and see who it was however. Truth be told, she didn -(TM)t really want to know! Finally, she managed to get outside and the sudden exposure to the sights and sounds of the traffic on the street and the pedestrians walking the downtown sidewalk almost made her faint! She frantically looked everywhere for Mandy -(TM)s car but it wasn -(TM)t in sight. -Where the hell IS she?! - she cursed to herself. -CARRIE! - she finally heard a familiar voice shout. She looked down the road and there was Mandy stuck in traffic about a block up the street waiting for the red light to change! She had two choices: wait patiently where she was for the light to change near the relative safety of the hotel lobby from whence she had come, or hightail it down the street to reach Mandy! The choice was obvious -" she ran! Cars honked, people whistled and some yelled encouraging remarks like: -you go girl! - Finally, she reached Mandy -(TM)s vehicle and she jumped inside and slammed the door! -Go! Go! GO! GO! - she shouted rapidly in succession. -I will, I WILL as soon as the light changes! - Mandy said impatiently. Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, the light did change and traffic did start to move. -HURRY, HURRY, HURRY! - Carrie yelled. -DON -(TM)T GET STUCK AT THAT RED LIGHT AGAIN! - -I -(TM)m trying, - Mandy said calmly. As things turned out they did make the light and soon they were off traveling farther and farther from the scene of the crime. -WOO HOO! - Kim finally shouted as they made it out of the downtown district, -FIFTY-TWO EASY points! - -What the hell was EASY about that? - Carrie snapped back nervously, still out of breath! -I can -(TM)t believe you actually pulled it off! - Traci said with deep admiration. -You are the man! You rock girl! - All the girls began talking at once each carrying on their own conversation: -What was it like? What happened? Did you get caught? Oh, I was so embarrassed when that boy fondled my breast! - The car suddenly got quiet. -WAIT . . . A BOY fondled your boob? - Mandy asked incredulously. -Yep! - Carrie said with so much pride she could hardly contain herself causing everyone to laugh all the more. -Squeezed my butt too! - she added with pride and then went on to explain every little detail as they drove along to a most appreciative audience. It was as though they hungered for every little morsel of detail and would often ask her to repeat some of the juiciest parts. The air in the car was electrified and Carrie was THE center of attention. She liked that. She wasn -(TM)t too crazy about what she had just done -" but she LOVED the attention and adoration of her friends. After babbling on for quite some time Carrie finally interrupted the girls and asked, -HEY! Where are my clothes? - Carrie was still sitting in the backseat naked and it had just occurred to her that they were traveling down a busy road with all sorts of people that might see her. -Um . . . - Mandy said nervously. -You tell her, Kim, it was your fault. - -What do you mean her fault? - Carrie inquired a little put out. -Where are my clothes?! - -Ah . . . well, - Kim replied clearing her throat. -I sort of left them back at the hotel bathroom. - -YOU WHAT?! - -I -(TM)m sorry. I REALLY am. I didn -(TM)t mean too. It -(TM)s just that I was so excited and wanted to see what happened . . . you know. I thought I would go back and get them before we left and well . . . in the confusion, I forgot! - Carrie gave her a horrid look but she could see that Kim really felt bad about the whole thing. Carrie got quiet and just sat there silently with her arms across her chest as they drove along. Finally, Mandy broke the silence, -Hey I -(TM)ve got an idea . . . - Carrie really didn -(TM)t like the sound of that! Public Nudity for Points -" Part Seven -What -(TM)s your idea, Mandy? - Traci asked enthusiastically. -Instead of brooding over the fact that Kim screwed up . . . - Kim interrupted, -I did not screw up. I just accidentally -~forgot -(TM) that -(TM)s all. It -(TM)s not like I did it on PURPOSE you know. I feel bad enough already! - -Okay, - Mandy continued patiently, -instead of taking it out on Kim because she FORGOT Carrie -(TM)s clothes, why don -(TM)t we make the most of the situation and see if Carrie can stay naked the rest of the day? After all, she -(TM)s already naked and she -(TM)ll get points for each hour she stays that way. - Carrie -(TM)s eyes widened at her suggestion. Inside she was a bundle of emotions. She was coming off an incredible high having just completed the most outrageous thing she had ever done in her entire life. She was horny, proud of herself for having the guts to go through with it, nervous, embarrassed and scared. Yes, there was even a little shame too. She was sure what she had done back at the hotel was wrong and guilt every so often reared its ugly head and invaded her thoughts as well. Good girls just didn -(TM)t do this stuff and she was SURE she was a good girl. At least she always had been up till now. She realized that the farther along she went with this silly scheme of Mandy -(TM)s, the harder it would be to quit. Still, she loved Mandy and would do anything for her. Despite her guilt, she couldn -(TM)t stand for her friend to be hurt -" especially if she was the cause of it. -But I have to go to work tonight, - Kim protested, -I -(TM)ll miss most of the fun! - -So, - Traci remarked, -take Carrie with you. - -Yeah, right, - Carrie said sarcastically. -Like, I -(TM)m going to work with you naked. - -No wait, that -(TM)s a GREAT idea, - Mandy said furtively. -Are you out of your mind? - Kim suddenly smiled wide, jolting herself back from feeling bad about her error. -I could do that! I really could! - -KIM! - Carrie cried. -Are you NUTS? - Carrie began to seriously question the sanity of her new-found friends. -No really you could come with me and help. I just clean houses at night, model homes actually. A Realty company pays me to clean up after their -~Open Houses -(TM). I just vacuum, clean the mirrors and stuff, no one -(TM)s ever around. It -(TM)s easy work and you can help me! It will be fun! - Kim was smiling from ear to ear and her enthusiasm was contagious. -Does she get extra points for this, Mandy? - Traci asked. -I mean it -(TM)s not like sitting all secluded back at your house. Surely this has GOT to be worth more than a point an hour. - Mandy looked over her shoulder at Carrie smiling and said, -Oh I -(TM)m SURE it -(TM)s worth more. I -(TM)ll have to see exactly how much more when we get home. - -PERFECT! - Kim said excitedly. -It -(TM)s all settled then. Carrie will come to work with me tonight. - Now it was Carrie -(TM)s turn to fume. First off, she had never agreed to stay naked the rest of the day and secondly, she distinctly remembered objecting to the whole idea anyway. She was about to speak up and say so when Tracy sealed her fate. -I see Carrie LIKES the idea, - she said as she nodded downward towards Carrie -(TM)s lap. There standing proudly at attention like a good little soldier was her clitoris. -Darn that thing, - Carrie muttered! -It always gives me away! - The girls all began laughing hysterically. -Oh crap! Did I actually say that out loud? - Kim and Traci both nodded their heads still giggling. Now Carrie was really embarrassed! There was no use in protesting further. After her little comment no one would believe her anyway. Upon arriving home, the girls continued their reminiscing about what had happened that morning. At first Carrie enjoyed all the girl-talk and was glad to be a part of such a close-knit group. But it seemed that after a while all the talk only reinforced Carrie -(TM)s already heated arousal and she secretly wished for some quiet time alone to take care of business. She wanted to do that for two reasons: first for mere pleasure and second, and more importantly, so that she could get rid of that throbbing erect clit of hers which served as a constant reminder to everyone present how excited she was sexually. Truthfully this second reason was the main factor in her desire to escape the group. She was humiliated by the fact that they knew something so intimate about her and she could do nothing to hide it! The more the girls talked the more aroused she got and the more desperate she was to attend to her problem. But it was not to be. The girls knew full well what effect their conversation was having on poor Carrie and they were secretly enjoying her discomfort. When the conversations reached a lull, someone would inevitably change the subject to boys in general and involve Carrie in giving her opinions of certain classmates like who she found attractive and who she would most like to kiss. Such talk would normally make a teenager giddy anyway but when one was naked and aroused as Carrie was it was like adding gasoline to a fire! Mandy fixed dinner and the girls chatted away. Just hanging out for so long -with the girls - was a new experience for Carrie. Before meeting Mandy she used to just stay at home and read a book or watch TV by herself. Now serendipitously because of that cockamamie story about a club initiation she was enjoying feeling what it was like to be popular. True her conscience bothered her about her recent activities and for her complicit role in keeping Mandy -(TM)s lies alive, but there was no doubt she was enjoying herself. She was also making Mandy very happy and that alone was reason and justification enough -" even if she was embarrassed in the process. Besides, all the other girls seemed to think things were fine. They didn -(TM)t look at her as some kind of kinky pervert. For reasons she quite didn -(TM)t understand she was quite content to let things ride. It wasn -(TM)t long after dinner when Kim said those fateful words, -Well guys, I hate to leave good company but it -(TM)s time for me to get to work. Are you ready Carrie? - Carrie swallowed hard. Though she had grown immensely these last few days even streaking a hotel lobby, she was still uncomfortable about doing this, especially since her lifeline in all this, Mandy, wasn -(TM)t going to be there. Carrie had hardly known anything about Kim until all this had started. Now she was going to trust her with her nudity and her reputation. -Um . . . yes I guess I -(TM)m ready. Maybe I should powder my nose first before we go, - Carrie joked feigning confidence. -Want to look my best, you know. - Everyone laughed as the two girls left the house and headed for Kim -(TM)s sub-compact car parked in the street. Fortunately, it was dusk and no one was about. She missed the safety of Mandy -(TM)s garage which shielded her from prying eyes when they arrived home earlier. Nervously she walked to the car and got in. Soon they were on their way. Carrie -(TM)s mind began to run away with her and she wondered if Kim was setting her up or laying a trap for her. I mean she hardly knew the girl and here she was riding around naked totally at her mercy! She didn -(TM)t have long to contemplate her possible misfortune. The first house Kim had to clean wasn -(TM)t that far away. They soon entered what appeared to be a new subdivision and parked in front of a house with a large Realtor sign in the yard that read: -Model Home Open. - With her nerves on edge Carrie asked, -Are you sure nobody -(TM)s about? I mean the house is all lit up and everything! - -Sure, I -(TM)m sure. Nobody is ever here. They all go home at five o -(TM)clock. - Kim said confidently. -But if it will make you feel better, I -(TM)ll go in first and check things out. - -Thank you, - Carrie replied gratefully as she watched Kim go up to the house and enter. A few minutes later she reappeared at the front door beckoning her to come inside. Reluctantly Carrie got out of the car after looking around to be sure no one would see her and then ran to the front door as Kim stood there laughing at her. -You sure do run funny, - Kim said as Carrie entered the house. -Now let -(TM)s get to work. - Kim told her where the vacuum cleaner was located and instructed her to attend to the carpets while she emptied the trash and straightened up the place. The whole thing was so very surreal. She couldn -(TM)t believe that she was actually doing this! She was naked skulking around in someone else -(TM)s house miles from the safety of her clothes . . . oh yeah, she didn -(TM)t even have those to fall back on she recalled as it was KIM who screwed that up. She silently prayed she wasn -(TM)t making a mistake by trusting her. As she made her way to the laundry room to find the vacuum in the storage closet, she couldn -(TM)t help but admire how beautiful the house was and how professionally it was decorated. She wondered if she would ever own a house such as this. Her thoughts turned to marriage. She fantasized about getting married to some prince charming living happily ever after. Doubts filled her mind and she felt very insecure. -What boy would ever want to marry me? - she sighed to herself, then Matt -(TM)s face flashed in her mind -(TM)s eye and she blushed realizing that he seemed to enjoy seeing her standing in his yard in just her bra and panties. She recalled the girls saying that she had given him a boner and she suddenly felt better. Kim -(TM)s voice calling out from the other room suddenly brought her back to reality. -DID YOU FIND IT? - -The vacuum, - Carrie answered? -Ah, yeah it -(TM)s right here, - She proceeded to drag it out and headed towards the front room and plugged it in. She felt so awkward and naughty doing routine housework without a stitch on. She couldn -(TM)t help wondering what she must look like as she pushed the vacuum around the carpet. She figured such a pitiful sight she must be. As she worked her way down to the hall carpet, she found Kim cleaning the toilet. -Now admit it, - she said giggling, -This is fun, isn -(TM)t it? - Carrie had to admit that it was. They had the whole house to themselves and she was being naughtier than she ever thought possible. Oh, how she wanted to get herself off right then and there. Of course, that would have to wait. About an hour later they had finished all the chores. -On to the next house, - Kim said. -Is it far away? - -Nope, just next door. Follow me. - The two girls left the first house and made their way across the now darkened lawn and entered the next illuminated model home. -Gee this is even nicer than the last one, - Carrie said looking around. After a brief tour, the girls got down to work. Carrie was settling into a routine and wasn -(TM)t even focusing on her nudity anymore, just her thoughts about what it would be like to live on her own in a fancy house like the one she was cleaning. As she vacuumed the front room her mind imagined how she would decorate the place, the type of furniture and colors she would prefer. -Ah . . . - a strange voice that came out of nowhere said, -what -(TM)s going on here? - Startled by the sudden interruption, Carrie quickly turned around and saw a smartly dressed woman wearing a Realtor -(TM)s name badge. -Oh my Gawd! - Carrie shrieked and immediately dropped the vacuum attachment and covered herself. Just then Kim came around the corner and said calmly, -Oh hi Mrs. Benson. - Kim didn -(TM)t seem fazed by the women -(TM)s presence at all. Almost as if she expected her to be there. -Would you mind telling me what -(TM)s going on? - the lady said politely as she looked Carrie over. -Oh, this is Carrie. She -(TM)s helping me tonight -" no extra charge. - -Interesting choice of work attire, - the lady said with a smirk. -Oh THAT, - Kim said putting her arm around Carrie smiling, -She lost a bet. - Just then a young couple came in the front door and stopped dead in their tracks. -Whoa . . . sorry, didn -(TM)t mean to intrude. - -Come right in, - the lady said courteously. -I -(TM)ve been expecting you. I -(TM)m Mrs. Benson from the Realty Company. Don -(TM)t mind the help, they -(TM)re just cleaning up. - The young woman who appeared to be in her thirties laughed as she stared at Carrie. -What -(TM)s up? Don -(TM)t tell me she lost a bet? - -Actually, she did, believe it or not, - Kim explained laughing. -This is Carrie, a friend of mine. - -Oh, that -(TM)s rich. Happened all the time when I was living in the dorms at college. - The young woman said. -Carrie, huh, I work with a woman at Heritage National Bank and she has a daughter named Carrie. It couldn -(TM)t be the same person though. She -(TM)s much too uptight and strait-laced to have any fun. If HER daughter ever did something like that, I -(TM)m sure she -(TM)d literally kill her! - Everyone but Carrie laughed at her comment. You see Carrie -(TM)s mother really did work at Heritage National Bank! Public Nudity for Points -" Part Eight Carrie stood there like a stone statue as the Realtor proceeded to show the couple the home. Fear began to overtake her as realized the potential for her mother finding out what her daughter was up to. After the couple went in the back of the house with Mrs. Benson, Carrie turned to Kim and whispered angrily, -I thought you said no one would be here! - -There usually isn -(TM)t. - -Well, you certainly weren -(TM)t surprised to see her. You set me up! - -No, I didn -(TM)t. I just know Mrs. Benson that -(TM)s all. She -(TM)s the one who hired me. Don -(TM)t let it bother you, she -(TM)s cool. She won -(TM)t make any trouble. - Kim said reassuringly. -It -(TM)s not her I -(TM)m worried about. That younger lady works with my MOM! - -Oh . . . - Kim said finally understanding her friend -(TM)s concern. -Listen, you just act like you do this all the time. She -(TM)ll NEVER think you are the same person she -(TM)s thinking of or put two and two together. -~Carrie -(TM), after all, is a popular name. The only risk is if you act like you -(TM)re ashamed of being seen. Just go about your work. Everything will work out fine. Trust me, and for gosh sakes stop covering yourself! - Carrie obediently dropped her arms and decided to take her friend -(TM)s advice. She began to finish vacuuming and Kim went about her work in the bathroom. Soon the young man that was part of the young couple, came back into the front room alone and watched Carrie as she cleaned causing Carrie to blush. She mustered all her courage though and went about her work. -You -(TM)re doing a marvelous job there, - he said. -Ah, thanks - Carrie responded trying to ignore his attention. -Say listen, - he interrupted after she finally turned off the vacuum cleaner. -My girlfriend and I are having some friends over later. You want to come by and hang out? - Carrie was shocked. Was this guy actually hitting on her while his girlfriend was in the same house just down the hall? Then it dawned on her the irony in her thought. A guy was HITTING on her! Nobody had ever paid attention to her before. Why, she couldn -(TM)t even get a guy to return a polite hello in the hallways at school! Her lip turned upward and she began to grin. Gee, she thought to herself all I have to do to get a boy interested in me is get naked! Of course, for that to work, she surmised, the guy would have to LIKE what he saw and THIS guy seemed VERY interested. She had no idea why, but he was! That thought alone made her feel good and forget all about her mother. In fact, her wetness increased as she moved about. -Um, no I can -(TM)t but thanks for asking anyway, - she said and then proceeded to spend an inordinate amount of time lingering in the room pretending to clean all the while knowing this guy was watching her every move. It was exciting to her and she began to relish the attention. She actually had thoughts of purposely bending over flashing her charms to him. The fact she was even HAVING those thoughts just went to show how much she had changed since hanging out with Mandy. Her heart pounded. Could she do it? She asked herself. After all that she had been through that day her hormones began doing her thinking for her. It didn -(TM)t matter that she was embarrassingly wet down there or what her rational mind thought, she was going to go for it. Turning so that her backside faced the boy, she purposely bent at the waist with her legs slightly parted and began putting the attachments back on the vacuum cleaner knowing full well what a view he was getting. As she tarried over her chore her heart was racing and her palms became sweaty. -JOHN! - Carrie heard the younger girl say tersely as she re-entered the room. -What? - he answered defensively. -You KNOW what. - The girl remarked snidely making Carrie feel dirty in the process. Of course, she was afraid to straighten up now in case it would appear that she had been luring him on purpose so she continued to fiddle with the attachments hoping the girl wasn -(TM)t looking too. -Thank you for showing us the house Mrs. Benson - the girl said politely and, after some cursory discussions, the couple left. Mrs. Benson walked over to Carrie and smiled. -I wish I had your figure - she said with a grin. -I -(TM)d have guys salivating over me like that poor boy was doing over you! - Carrie just blushed all the more. Apparently, her plan had worked. She wondered what she had meant by -salivating, - and just assumed she meant that he must have really liked what he saw. The lady then looked down and added, -Apparently he wasn -(TM)t the only one who must have liked it! - Carrie wanted to die. Another person had spotted her intimate secret! After cleaning two more houses Kim took Carrie back to Mandy -(TM)s and they tallied up her points for the day. Instead of earning 4 points for her non-nude tasks she managed to score 75 points in all bringing her total to 125 points. -Not bad! - Traci said admirably. -Keep this up and you -(TM)ll make 500 in no time. - Carrie wasn -(TM)t she sure she could take much more of this. She had been kept on edge for the entire day and was exhausted! After returning home and reliving in her mind -(TM)s eye the events of that day as she fingered herself, she finally experienced her first -~vaginal -(TM) orgasm, her tremors reaching deep inside her flesh, every muscle down below convulsing contracting and relaxing, contracting and relaxing as she had never experienced before! One thing was certain. She wanted that to happen again - even if she had to embarrass herself to do it! It was certainly different than any previous orgasms she had experienced before. The following Monday at school she nervously anticipated what would happen if she came upon Matt in the corridor. After all, he saw her wearing just her Bra and Panties in his front yard! She wasn -(TM)t sure she could face him and worried herself silly over what he might say. In the back of her mind though, she knew he liked what he saw. All morning she dreaded changing classes. How awkward it would be if he said something embarrassing to her with a crowd of people milling about the hall to hear about the gory details. Her life would be over! All day she kept an ear out as well to see if she could overhear ANYONE talking about Matt -(TM)s yard sale. She was convinced that he certainly would have told all his guy friends what had happened. Guys like to brag about their conquests she thought. But so far, she discovered nothing. Somehow providence was looking out for her and she managed to avoid him all throughout the school day and at lunch as well and no one treated her any differently. As she was walking out toward her car after the dismissal bell rang, it happened. -Hi Carrie, - Matt said running to catch up with her. Carrie started to panic and wanted to run but instead remembered what Mandy had been telling her -" that she needed more self-confidence. That -(TM)s what this whole ordeal was about anyway, to improve her self-confidence so she decided right then and there to make a change and stand her ground. -Hi Matt, - she answered sweetly. -How was your day? - he asked nervously. -Fine, - she said expecting him to drop the bomb at any minute. She stood there nervously chatting away about trivial things. She wasn -(TM)t just worried that he might say or do something to humiliate her, she was nervous because she was actually talking with a boy -" one on one, like all the other girls did so effortlessly, something she so readily envied. It was a pleasant conversation and she enjoyed it. As he was about to leave Matt cleared his throat and said, -Oh, and I just wanted to say, that is, I -(TM)m really sorry about my mom. I hope she didn -(TM)t embarrass you the other day. I worried about it all through the weekend - you know that you might be mad at me or something. - -Oh, no problem, I know how moms are, - Carrie said and made a hasty retreat before he could say anything else. Little Carrie was on cloud nine. It was the first time a boy had actually approached her and showed the least bit of interest. She sauntered her way across the large parking lot with a huge smile on her face. -Carrie? - A girl -(TM)s voice called out. -Can I speak with you a minute? - -Yeah sure, - she replied as she turned around and spotted a girl, a fellow student, she didn -(TM)t know. -I -(TM)m Sara Edwards. - The girl then gently took hold of Carrie -(TM)s arm and continued talking quite softly, so softly in fact that Carrie had to strain to hear her clearly above all the clamor of students leaving the school yard. -Listen, I understand you are being evaluated for the Civannettes. - -What? - -I know, I know, - Sara said quietly, -We aren -(TM)t supposed to talk about it. It -(TM)s Okay though because I -(TM)m being evaluated too. - -Look I really don -(TM)t understand, - Carrie said totally bewildered. -Come on, I know you -(TM)re being initiated for possible membership in the Civannettes, you know the club sponsored by Alpha, Omega, Pi at the college. - What in the world was going on? Carrie wondered. Was this club for real?! She thought Mandy had made all that up. Then her spine began tingling and alarm bells began ringing in the back of her mind. Maybe this girl was trying to get her in trouble or maybe Tracy or Kim had been blabbing about her naked tasks. Carrie -(TM)s mind went into overdrive. She wasn -(TM)t quite sure how to handle the situation. There was only one way to find out. She decided just to play along and act dumb to see what this girl actually knew. -I still don -(TM)t understand, - Carrie finally said. -What makes you think I -(TM)m being initiated? - -Oh, I see. - Sara said as she looked around the school yard to see if anyone was listening or observing them. -It -(TM)s smart to play it safe. Like you, I too wouldn -(TM)t want to do anything to jeopardize my chances of getting in. You can -(TM)t just trust anyone with this sort of stuff. There -(TM)s too much at stake, especially since the selection committee never tells anyone who the other potential members are. But I just HAVE to talk with someone about this or I just explode. - -Go on - Carrie said nervously. -If as you say the committee doesn -(TM)t reveal who all the potential members are, how do you know I -(TM)m being evaluated? - Carrie was sure she was going to say that Traci or Kim told her all about it, but she didn -(TM)t. Clearing her throat Sara explained, -Well, my older brother works at the Bilton hotel and he brought home a tape the security department had of this girl who was stripped in the lobby in front of a crowd of people. He kept going on about how hilarious it was so I begged him to let me see it. After I watched it, I saw that it was you! I knew then that you MUST be in the same boat I -(TM)m in and are being initiated to the club. Am I right? - Carrie almost fainted dead away. There was a TAPE?!!! She was naked on a TAPE . . . and other people had copies of it?!!! She felt on the verge of a panic attack but somewhere deep down inside she found the strength to continue to play along. Perhaps it was just her instinct for self-preservation kicking in but she had to find out more. Sara gave her a knowing smile and continued, -It is okay, your secret is safe. I -(TM)m not about to jeopardize my own chances by saying anything because I know you -(TM)ll report me to the committee if I do. Your idea though was pure genius by the way. I LOVED it. - Sara said with a grin. -I AM right, aren -(TM)t I? I mean why else would anyone allow that to happen to them if they didn -(TM)t have to, if they weren -(TM)t being initiated. - Not knowing what else to do Carrie just nodded her head in agreement. -I KNEW it! - Sara exclaimed carefully. -Listen it -(TM)s too crowded here to talk so how about we meet somewhere safe. Do you have a monitor that keeps track of your activities? Maybe we can meet at his or her house. - That was the first sane thing Carrie heard all day. She needed Mandy. Mandy would protect her and know what to do. -Ah, yeah I have a monitor. It -(TM)s Mandy Taylor. - -Oh, I know Mandy. I don -(TM)t live that far from her. Can we meet at her place this afternoon? - -I guess so - Carrie said hesitantly. -How about 4 o -(TM)clock? - -Works for me, see you there - Sara said smiling and left as quickly as she came. Carrie just stood there dumbfounded. She hardly knew what to make of all she had just heard. She drifted off mentally to the safety of a faraway place as others about her went about their business. -What in the world was she in for now? - a little voice kept saying over and over in her head. Just when all this was starting to get fun something dreadful had to happen!
