Lynn honors her bet.

You say nothing and continue walking on to the next class. Lynn seems down from losing her bet with Tammy, so the rest of the day goes on quietly. You spend the day wondering how she is going to deal with the situation. It would be so easy to wish it all away, yet Lynn hasn’t done so. Is she really going to own up to her wager and do cheer practice completely naked?

The moment of truth finally arrives. School ends and most of the students clear out. You stay behind and head to the indoor gymnasium to see how things play out. Cheerleader practice isn’t something that is heavily attended, but there are a few people around. Some parents wait it out before driving their kid home, one or two boyfriends stick around and some students just hang out on the bleachers ignoring the practice. There are three ways to get in and out. One behind the bleachers, one on the right side of the gym that leads outside and another door on the opposite side, where the change rooms are located, further down the hall.

The cheerleaders file into the gym wearing their blue and gold uniforms. Lynn is nowhere to be seen. The girls start warming up and stretching while no one pays particular attention to them.

“Hey bud!” a familiar voice calls out, patting you on the back.

You turn to see your friend, Scott, finding himself a seat next to you.

“What are you doing here?” you ask him.

“You said you wanted me to dig dirt on Lynn, well where better to find her friends than cheer practice?” He replies with a self satisfied grin. “What are you doing here? Cheering on your girlfriend?”

“She’s not… that’s not important! I told you to be discreet! Lynn will see you here asking questions and she may get suspicious!”

“Don’t worry, pal! She’s not even here yet, so it’s no big deal,” Scott says.

It’s true, Lynn is not with the team yet. You check the clock. It’s already been fifteen minutes since practice was scheduled. You wonder if Lynn decided to no show after all. Suddenly, the side door pops open, drawing both you and Scott’s attention. Scott’s eyes become the size of saucers when he sees coming in. Lynn is completely naked!

It wasn’t long ago since you’ve seen Lynn in all her glory, but this time things feel different. For one thing, you’re not the only one witnessing this moment. Once the door shuts behind the nude cheerleader, one by one, the audience in the bleachers turn their heads towards the noise. As soon as they recognize what they are seeing, their eyes become glued to the exhibition. Lynn herself doesn’t appear as confident as she has before when revealing her body to you. She hugs her arms tight and locks her knees together as she feels the pressure of the eyes on her. She almost shrinks away for a moment, before taking a visible breath and forcing herself to straighten up and walk up to her squad.

Scott’s arms are squeezing your shoulders and he shakes you as if to wake himself out of a dream. “Holy shit! Do you see what I see?!” he whispers harshly into your ear.

“Yeah, I see it!” is all you can say.

Lynn’s teammates rush over and quickly surround her like a protective flock, using their bodies to cover her nudity from the crowd. There is a buzz in the bleachers as everyone is sitting up at full attention now. Down on the practice floor, the girls seem to be discussing something with their leader.

“What’s going on, Riley?” Scott asks you.

“She lost a bet…” you answer vaguely.

“That must have been some bet! Geez! Wait ‘til this gets out!” Scott says, not taking his eyes off the hidden girl. “What are they talking about down there?”

You can only guess that the squad is being informed about the bet. There is a barely audible, “Dammit, Tammy!” from the group, followed by Tammy’s response, “I didn’t think she’d really do it!”

Eventually, the huddle breaks up and practice resumes as normal, save for the attention of everyone else being squarely on the naked blonde leading the troupe.

Lynn calls out the first formation and the girls line up to face the crowd. Lynn’s face looks bright red but her eyes are focused on their routine. You look around and see several people with their phones out, recording the show. One part of you feels a sense of vengeance from Lynn’s humiliation. For once, it’s Lynn that’s suffering instead of you. Another part of you feels a need to help her out somehow. When you think back to all the torments she put you through, she never went as far as public humiliation. Also, this is not really your **** since she lost the bet to Tammy, not you. Your ultimate **** would be getting your magic pendant back. Then, you would be able to dole out her punishment as you see fit.

The girls jump right into their routine with lifts. Two girls, hoist up a third girl onto their should then the top girl drops down to be caught. Being the head cheerleader, Lynn is one of the tops to this pyramid, giving everyone a good view of her body. Even from this distance, as she stands aloft Stacy and Tammy’s shoulders, you can see her nipples poking out from embarrassment. She calls out the next phase of their performance and hops off their shoulders. The girls space themselves to catch her as she catches some air. At the peak of her height, she does a midair splits, much to the delight of the increasingly vocal crowd. Even under this much pressure and scrutiny, she performs the splits flawlessly (to the best of your limited cheerleading knowledge), before being caught by her two partners and put back on her feet.

“I think I just wet myself,” Scott utters under the loud hooting and hollering of the rest of the crowd.

You start to wonder if there is anything you can do to mitigate the scenario for Lynn at this point. The crowd is slowly turning into a carnal mob looking for thrills more akin to a strip club than a cheerleader practice. In the back of your mind, you are still expecting Lynn to magically wish for things to get better, but your head remains clear of any mental imagery from the cheerleader.
