Lauren is asked to dance

"And you arrived just in time." said April to Allen. "Li'l Ellie here has just wanted to show us a dance she's seen in some video." She sneered at Lauren, "Isn't that right, Ellie?"

The crowd cheered approvingly.

Lauren's eyes buldged out when she heard this. What? That crazy bitch wanted her to dance? In front of his crush and a bunch of April's friends? Buck ass naked?

"Where are her clothes?" asked Allen.

"She had this cute little bikini." Lisa held up her former 'suit', "But she kept wiggling out of it." She looked at Lauren, "Guess one cannot restrain youth these days." she giggle.

"I don't know." Allen started, "Can't you do this some other time?"

Lauren looked around nervously to find a way out of her situation, but all she saw was the grins on the faces of her audience. Things had been bad before, but they managed to turn even worse.

"Please, just let the guys watch this." pleaded April, "Before they leave." she added.

"Yes." Lisa walked up to her friend smiling, "The cutie pie has been waiting to show them her moves." She looked at Allen with huge innocent eyes. "You wouldn't want to break her 8-year-old little heart, would you?"

"Well, OK." relented Allen. "But it's the last dance and then they'll leave." he motioned towards the gathered little crowd.

Lauren was hyperventilating. This couldn't have been happening. What should she do? If she disobeyed, she would reveal her true identity in front of her crush. But if she danced, could she ever look April or the others in the eye? Was she ready to swallow her pride to protect her identity?

"I promise." giggled April. "Let's get the show started, shall we?" she winked at Lisa.

The crowd erupted in a huge cheer. All eyes turned towards Lauren in the empty pool. Apart from Allen, they all knew who was really in the pool and they found it damn hilarious to see the prim little ice queen deal with her predicament. The teens were still sitting along the edge, while April and Allen stood near the ladder. Lisa strutted happily to the boombox Allen had turned off when he arrived, and fumbled with the cassettes.

Soon the song started with Lauren still crouching in the pool. She was shocked at Lisa's choice, but she was more shocked at the fact that her crush was looking at her naked body, even if he didn't know it. Expecting her to dance. She looked him dead in the eyes. How would he react if she was revealed to be Lauren? Would he be disappointed? Could she face that humiliation? Whatever the answers, she was out of time. She had to act. She had to decide how far she was willing to go.
