They turn invisible

Immediately upon pressing the button, Chris and Molly felt a brief jolt course through their bodies that shocked them. For a split second, they felt that they could've been in danger, and their hearts started pounding. But it didn't take long to notice what effect the contraption had on them. As soon as they looked at each other, they realized that... they couldn't look at each other. They had turned completely invisible! "AAAHH!! What the fuck?! Chris, you're gone! I can't see you!" worried Molly.

"Wait, I can't see you either! What the hell's going on?!" Chris replied, holding up his hands only to notice that they had vanished entirely. He put his hands up to his face and could still feel them against his skin, and he could still see and hear things just fine. The only difference was that their bodies were no longer visible. "But... It's just our bodies! We can still see our clothes!" Chris just as quickly realized.

"Fuck fuck fuck, how do I undo it??? How do I undo it???" Molly started to panic, as she noticed the button stayed pressed down. She hurriedly pressed it again and it popped back up to how it was before. Upon doing so, she looked back at Chris and was able to see him again. She looked down at her own hands and was able to see them too. "Oh thank god... I thought it was gonna be permanent; that almost gave me a panic attack! So it's only in effect while it's pressed down, huh? And I guess 'cuz we both pressed it at the same time it affected both of us."

After the initial shock wore off and they fully understood the mechanics of this strange device, the situation began to dawn on them and they were faced with more questions than ever. 'What the hell is this thing? How is this possible? What kind of tech does this machine utilize to be able to do this? Will we find out by taking it apart? Who made it? And why did it end up on my doorstep? This feel like something out of a sci-fi anime! Are there more of these things? If not, what'll happen if we're found with this? This feels like forbidden tech. What if they kill us for finding this out? Who even are 'they' in this situation?!' But as all these thoughts rushed through Molly's head, one thought took precedence in her mind: 'How can we use this to our advantage?' Molly glanced resolutely at Chris. "Chris, this is fucking huge. Like, do you fully comprehend the implications of this?! We could do so much with this!"

"Y'think?!" Chris shot back rhetorically. "I'm just glad we decided to do this here and now. I'd have hated if we'd used this in front of everyone else. Dude, there's no way we can let anyone else know about this! But now what???"

Chris and Molly's minds raced a mile a minute as they thought of the endless possibilities this strange box could bring, but among the most enticing possibilities were the types of mischief they could cause by using this! Just thinking of how they could get back at those who belittled them stirred something in them. As Molly and Chris looked at each other, dubious grins formed across their faces before bursting into excitable laughter. "Are you thinking what I'm thinking?!" Chris asked semi-rhetorically. Molly nodded in delight as she continued to giggle. In the face of an unprecedented technological marvel never before documented in real life, the only thing the two nerdy classmates could do in this situation was consider how to manipulate this device by plotting devious schemes. The two were besides themselves with glee, like kids in a candy store as they envisioned the pranks they could pull on their classmates, until realization dawned on them once more. Chris was the one to bring up the glaring issue they would have to confront if they were to see this through. "Sooo, if we're really gonna do this, then it looks like we're gonna have to... you know...".

"Ahahaha... Yeah, it... sure looks to be that way, doesn't it? It'll be fine though! We won't see a thing." Molly responded, as they averted their eyes from each other and blushed. "Well, best to get it over and done with now before everyone else arrives to class."

"Yeah, good point!" Chris said, as they both looked back at each other and smiled one final time before pressing the button once more, reactivating the invisibility. With that, the two reluctantly began to strip, putting their clothes into their bags as they went. By the time they were down to just their underwear they were both blushing intensely, though neither could see the other to notice. Chris sported a pair of gray boxer briefs through which Molly could clearly make out a bulge, whereas Molly was wearing a plain white bra, which Chris quickly surmised to be a C cup. As for her panties, they were hot pink and adorned with rainbows and some sort of cutesy anime mascot Chris had never seen before, and he realized that her bizarre fashion sense applied not only to her t-shirts, but to her underwear too. Chris stifled a laugh at this. "Hey, don't laugh!" Molly bashfully yelled out in protest. "It was the only clean pair of panties I had, okay? I swear!"

"It's okay, I believe you! And... I dunno, I quite like 'em, to be honest. Very eccentric, but cute in their own way." Chris retorted. 'Much like you as a person in general...' Chris concluded to himself, but was too afraid to vocalize in the moment. "Well, onto the main event, ha ha... This is insane, I can't believe we're doing this." he noted, sighing one more time before taking the plunge and quickly pulling his pants down his legs in one swift motion and putting them, along with his briefs, in his bag. At the same time, Molly removed her own underwear, unhooking her bra and pulling her panties down, swiftly putting them in her own bag. With this, they both laughed nervously, becoming ever more aware of the absurdity of the situation. "It's so weird! It's like I wanna cover myself even though it makes absolutely no difference!" Chris noted.

"Oh my god, me too! My heart's beating so fast, but I kinda like it!" said Molly. As they grew accustomed to being naked in broad daylight, they faced the next issue of having to come up with a more concrete plan for the rest of the day. "So I'm sure this goes without saying, but we absolutely cannot let this box fall into the hands of anyone else. For now, I'm thinking we should put it in my locker along with our bags. Sound good?"

"Yeah, I can't think of anywhere else better to keep it. And it's not like we can keep anything on our persons." Chris noted. Picking up their bags and the box, they made their way to their respective lockers outside their homeroom, Chris putting his bag in his locker, and Molly putting her own bag along with the box in her own locker, which was right across from his. Though it proved to be a little difficult to open her locker without her glasses, she just about managed. They were once again relieved that they had gotten to school as early as they had, since it would've been strange to anyone walking by to see a pair of floating bags and lockers opening up on their own. After their possessions were safely secured, they made their way back into the classroom, though this is when they were faced with the next biggest problem. As Chris and Molly both made their way into the doorway of the class, they bumped into one another, Chris's bare shoulder brushing Molly's. They immediately jumped back in shock and began incessantly apologizing.

"Oh my god I'm SO sorry I didn't mean to touch you I just was trying to get into the room and I didn't see you so I accidentally made contact with your shoulder and-"

"Aaaaaah, I didn't mean to I swear I just thought I'd enter before you so I didn't think you'd be there as well and I swear it wasn't intentional I'm not a creep or anything I just-"

Embarrassment flared up in the both of them once more as they desperately tried to talk their way out of the problem, but they soon realized they were both rambling on and gave it a rest before laughing it off. "Alright, to avoid that happening again any time soon, and to not lose track of each other, I can't think of any other alternative but to just hold hands the entire day." Chris boldly admitted. Her heart pounded at such a prospect, but Molly soon realized she couldn't think of a better solution herself. 'Spending the entire day holding hands with Chris naked? That sounds like heaven... It feels too good to be true...' Molly drooled at the thought before getting a hold of herself. "Ah, yeah... I guess you're right." Molly vocalized, holding back her true feelings from Chris. With that, they put out their hands in front of themselves, feeling for one another until Chris's left hand interlocked with Molly's right, as they made their way back into the classroom and into their seats next to each other. As they sat down, they let each other's hands go and began strategizing and making a plan of attack for the day ahead of them. "So, we need to have a general plan going forward for the rest of the day if we wanna see this through. What exactly do you wanna pull off in the way of pranks? And who exactly do you have in mind when it comes to who'll be on the receiving end? Any ideas? Just lay 'em on me here and now while we're still the only ones present, because as soon as everyone else in our class starts pouring in, we're not gonna be able to continue talking to each other at a normal speaking volume like this. We're gonna have to whisper in each other's ears from that point on." mentioned Chris.

Molly's heart raced contemplating the thought of Chris getting up close to her and whispering in her ear. "Honestly, I wouldn't mind getting back at almost everyone in this class... They're such huge jerks!! Well, maybe apart from Georgia, she's alright. We grew up together and went to middle school together, and she was my only real friend before you came along, after all. But everyone else could do with being taken down a peg, don't you think? Plus, I dunno about you, but having to spend the class trip to Comic-Con tomorrow with people like Brad and Sophie does NOT sound like my idea of fun at all." Molly said, with a slightly playful tone in her voice. "None of our teachers seem to care enough about them making fun of us to do anything about it, so I think it's time we take matters into our own hands!"

"Damn right they deserve it! I mean, if it was only me they picked on I could take it, but no way I can let 'em get away with bullying my best friend like that." Chris responded, not seeing her smile but knowing that she'd feel grateful for him bringing that up.

Molly continued on her tirade about the classmates she disliked. "Especially Hannah, she's so annoying! Can you believe she had the audacity to talk shit about anime?! She keeps claiming it's just for kids no matter how many times I tell her that there's a ton of anime that deal with some really deep issues!! And there's actually a wide variety of genres that even adults can enjoy!! They're not just kids' cartoons! Not only that, but-". Chris felt like he'd been subject to this conversation topic thousands of times before as he reaffirmed in his mind, 'Yep, she sure is a huge nerd', but Molly's tireless yet passionate lecture was suddenly cut short as she heard a pair of footsteps approaching from the hallway outside the classroom, and she immediately stopped talking. There was no way she could get caught talking to Chris, lest people clue in to their presence and investigate the area where they were seated. So for the time being, Chris suggested "Let's just sit through homeroom for now. We'll scope out the vibe, see who shows up today, and then we can decide what to do from there."

The one to enter the classroom was Hannah, who sat at the opposite end of the back of the classroom, by the window. Much like Molly and Chris, she was also a bit of an outcast, but this was more so due to her being quite frankly stuck-up and unlike the other two, the bespectacled girl didn't share many of the same interests so she mainly kept to herself. Chris and Molly stayed sat in their seats, now observing her as they had little else to do in this situation. Not long after, Emily came waltzing in as haughtily as ever, wearing a short skirt and crop top that didn't leave much to the imagination, followed by her ever-adoring fanboys who followed her every move and endlessly thirsted over her. Chris felt like he had to suppress sighing at the top of his lungs as soon as he saw her enter. It was obvious to him that Emily would never entertain the idea of getting with any of the boys, instead just keeping them around because she enjoyed the constant attention and compliments. She was then shortly followed by Sophie and Becca, the deadly duo that were nigh inseparable and would spend almost every day talking to each other, bouncing off of one another in their conversations and banter towards Chris and Molly. This unsavory group of individuals in particular were the worst offenders in regards to their constant torment, and the invisible duo swore that today would be the day these girls would finally pay for their actions.

Shortly after, more and more students kept piling into the room including the curly-haired Georgia, someone friendly with Molly who she considered a much more welcome presence, but with each student that entered, their nerves grew, fearing the worst. Despite being invisible, it was still nerve-wracking to consider that they were sitting in their seats completely naked, and that if anyone decided to come over into the corner of the room, they'd instantly know something strange was going on. Not only did Chris and Molly have to avoid talking to each other or making any noise whatsoever, but they had the added difficulty of having to go out of their way to avoid any physical contact with those who were visible... for now.

Once everyone in class was seated, their homeroom teacher Mrs Robinson took attendance. Aware that neither he nor Molly were very rarely absent, Chris was curious to see how his classmates would react to their apparent truancy. Going through the list of names of the 23 students, she reached Chris's name. "Chris?" she called out, looking up from the register towards the back of the class straight in his direction. Chris's heart briefly skipped a beat before getting a grip, still only just coming to terms with the whole invisibility thing and realizing that from her perspective, she was just looking at an empty seat. "Chris? No Chris today? Anyone heard from him?" Mrs Robinson repeated, raising her eyebrows in mild astonishment. "Okay then... Becca?"

"Here, miss!"

"Leon?"

"Here, miss!"

"Molly? .....Molly?" Once again looking up to her seat's location, Molly reacted in much the same way as Chris, having actively fought the immediate impulse to respond. However, one difference between the two is what occurred right after her name was called out with no response. Sophie and Becca, of course, took this rare opportunity to make witty remarks at her expense. "Oh my god, I hadn't even noticed how peaceful it is without Molly here incessantly yapping to Chris about her stupid, uhhh... what does she call 'em? 'O-to-may' games? No wonder I feel so good this morning!"

"I know, right? It doesn't smell so bad in here for once! It's a miracle!" Taken aback by this statement, Molly's heart sank as much of the class chuckled in response. Was this really how much they hate on her when she's not around? Chris desperately wanted to shout out "That's bullshit, and you damn well know it!", yet he had **** but to keep his mouth shut and let the jokes wash over them for now. "Come on now, class, let's not do this! You're better than that!" asserted Mrs Robinson in a sudden, much more serious tone of voice. Though his whole class was seemingly out to get him and Molly, he took solace in the fact that at least Mrs Robinson knew how well-behaved they were, and how much they advocated for and deserved to go on the school trip. She'd always been someone they could rely on, and so as homeroom came to a close after ten boring minutes of sitting in silence between them, Molly and Chris perked up when she gave out her final reminder: "And of course, tomorrow is our class trip to Comic-Con! So be extra sure to be on your best behavior today, or else you might find yourself stuck here all day!"

As his only way of currently expressing enthusiasm, Chris reached out and gripped Molly's hand. This was, for both of them, their most anticipated day of the year, especially for Molly who was steeling herself with determination to tell Chris how she truly felt about him while they were there. Thinking of this, she gripped his hand back.

As the 21 other students left the classroom one by one to go to cooking class, their first class of the day, Chris attentively looked around to see who best to target first.
