on the day of the competition

on the day of the competition. The summer dress clung to Alexia’s body as she stepped into the debate hall, the thin fabric doing little to shield her from the stares of her classmates. The square neckline dipped just enough to hint at her tanlines, while the A-line skirt swayed with every hesitant step, the midi length barely preserving her modesty. She could feel the cool air against her bare skin beneath the dress, a constant reminder of her vulnerability.

Mira stood near the podium, arms crossed, her smirk widening as she took in Alexia’s trembling form. "Good, you actually listened," she murmured, stepping closer.

Mira’s fingers brushed against the thin fabric of Alexia’s dress, tracing the outline of her hip before suddenly gripping the hem. "Let’s see if you followed my instructions completely," she whispered, lifting the skirt just enough to expose the bare skin of Alexia’s thighs. A choked gasp escaped Alexia’s lips as Mira’s nails dug in slightly, the sting making her knees tremble. The debate hall’s fluorescent lights burned against her skin, every whisper from the gathering crowd like needles against her nerves. Mira leaned in, her breath hot against Alexia’s ear. "No underwear, just like I said. Good girl."

Alexia felt her face flush with embarrassment as she tried to regain her composure. She could feel the eyes of her classmates on her, their whispers echoing in her ears. She couldn't believe that she had been reduced to this - a mere pawn in Mira's twisted game.

Mira smirked, clearly enjoying the show she had orchestrated. "Now it's going to be fun," she purred. "If my team wins, you have to be ours for a day. If you win, I'll delete all the pictures of you I have."

She stepped back, eyeing Alexia up and down, her gaze lingering on the exposed skin peeking out from beneath the thin fabric of the dress. "I think we both know who's going to win this, though."

Alexia swallowed hard, trying to keep her composure as she felt the eyes of her classmates burning into her skin. She knew she had to win this debate, not just for her own sake, but for the sake of her dignity and her future. She couldn't let Mira get the best of her, not again.
