A bunch of strangers, and a familiar teacher.

Candace looked around at the students, feeling a bit more secure seeing a bunch of strangers looking back at her. She was very relieved to know that no one she knew would see her body. Well, except for the professor, she reminded herself.

Her stomach did a little flip, and she glanced over at him. Their professor, Doug, was pretty relaxed, and insisted on the students calling him by his first name. He was was passionate about painting, which was one of the reasons Candace loved his classes so much, and took them whenever it fit with her schedule. They'd known each other for four years now, and they were friendly. She did not relish him seeing her naked, however. They weren't that close.

But, she thought, he'd probably seen hundreds of people naked over the course of his career. She'd seen the way he interacted with models, and he was always respectful no matter who they were. He even let the model pick the music!

Candace took a deep breath, and decided any reservations she had were coming from her own fear. She resolved to try an enjoy the experience.

Doug gestured for her to step onto the platform, and she did. She untied her robe, holding it closed with her hands, as she stepped into the light.
