She heads to her next class

"Thank you, Mr. Howards," Abigail says, her voice quivering slightly as she gathers her courage. She nods firmly, as if to convince herself more than anyone else. "I'll do it." With that, she rushes through the empty hallways, her bare feet slapping against the cold tiles. She can feel the cool draft of air brushing against her skin, leaving her both chilled and oddly invigorated. The thought of walking into her next class naked sends waves of panic crashing through her, but she clings to the hope that this might be the moment she stops hiding. She tries to ignore the whispers and giggles that follow her, the eyes that bore into her, the stares that seem to strip her of any semblance of dignity. But she keeps moving, each step taking her closer to the classroom, her heart pounding in her chest like a drum announcing her arrival. The doubt is a heavy fog in her mind, thick and suffocating, but she forces it aside, focusing on the task at hand. How will this go? She doesn't know, but she's about to find out.

As Abigail enters the classroom, she's met with a wall of laughter and stifled giggles. The room goes quiet as everyone's eyes fixate on her naked form, standing starkly against the whiteboard at the front. Her cheeks burn with a blush that could rival the sun, and she feels like a specimen on display. The teacher, who had clearly been informed of the situation by Mr. Howards, raps his knuckles on the desk to silence the class. "This is a serious matter," he says sternly, though his gaze is **** than his tone. "Abigail is here to remind us all that everyone deserves respect, regardless of their appearance." He nods at her, silently urging her to take her seat. She does so, her legs shaking as she sits in the chair at the very front of the room, her nakedness stark and ****. She can't help but feel humiliated, but as the teacher begins to speak, she forces herself to listen, clinging to the hope that maybe, just maybe, this experience will help her grow stronger.

Abigail's stomach twists into a knot as she hears the muffled giggles of her classmates throughout the lecture. She feels their eyes on her, the weight of their judgment as palpable as the chilly air in the room. Each snicker feels like a tiny papercut, slicing into the fragile skin of her self-esteem. She tries to focus on the professor's words, but they're lost in the symphony of whispers and the occasional snicker. She's painfully aware of her chubby frame, her small breasts, and the way her stomach folds over slightly as she sits. Her heart races, and she can feel her cheeks burning with a mix of embarrassment and anger. The hour stretches on like a taut rubber band, each second a reminder of her vulnerability. She feels like a punchline in a cruel joke, but she refuses to let it break her. She sits there, unflinching, her gaze fixed on the board, as if the very act of bearing it all will somehow make her stronger.

As the bell finally rings, the class erupts into a cacophony of whispers and hasty footsteps as everyone rushes to leave. Abigail remains seated, her eyes glued to the board, not daring to look at the sea of faces that had just seen her at her most exposed. She feels the weight of their stares, the whispers about her body following her like a foul scent. The professor, with a look of sympathy, tells her she is very brave and to take her time as he too leaves the room. She stays there, long after the last student has disappeared into the hallway. The silence wraps around her like a cold, unwelcome blanket, the echoes of laughter and cruel words haunting her. She feels degraded, as if her nudity had somehow stripped her of all dignity. Yet, amidst the pain, a strange warmth begins to bloom in her chest. It's a mix of anger and determination, a declaration that she won't let this break her. She slowly rises from her seat, her eyes meeting her own in the reflection of the board, and she whispers to herself, "This is just the beginning." She gathers her courage, tucks it tightly to her chest, and heads out into the corridor, ready to face whatever comes next.
