Under the spell of lust and shyness

Christin has always been extremely shy. The mere idea of being in the company of other people almost drove her crazy. But it was time to face her fears. With trembling hands, she smoothed out her wrinkle-free skirt and brushed the imaginary specks of dust off her white blouse. Today she would be entering her new home - St. Anna's boarding school for girls.

As soon as she entered the imposing entrance to the boarding school, she could feel the eyes on her. The quiet murmur of the girls filled the room. The tension was literally in the air. Christin felt like she was being watched, as if her every move was under close scrutiny.

She could barely hide her excitement when she was greeted by the principal, Ms. Katharina. Katharina was an elegant, self-confident woman with stern eyes that seemed to see through every mistake. She led Christin through the corridors of the boarding school, past the common rooms and the strict rules that applied here.

Suddenly, Katharina stopped in front of a door and opened it with a welcoming gesture. "Here's your room, Christin," she said with a hint of authority in her voice. "You'll be sharing it with Johanna, one of our best students."

Christin entered the room and was relieved to find it spacious and bright. The walls were decorated with cheerful posters and pictures that created a pleasant atmosphere. A large desk, three beds and a shared closet were the only furnishings.

Johanna, a slim and lively brunette, greeted Christin warmly. "Hello, I'm Johanna," she said with a warm smile. "Don't worry, you'll settle in here quickly. Boarding school can be a bit strict at times, but we all get on well."

Christin immediately felt a connection with Johanna. Her friendly manner and open nature calmed her nerves. Perhaps she could really find her place here and overcome her shyness.

When the two girls took their school uniforms out of the lockers, Christin noticed that there was no underwear. A pale red veil covered her face. She suddenly felt so , so exposed. This feeling intensified her already existing insecurity.

"Don't worry," Johanna whispered to her and placed a reassuring hand on her shoulder. "It's completely normal here. It's one of the strict rules of boarding school. We're all the same."

Christin nodded uncertainly and pulled her short nightgown out of the wardrobe for the night ahead. A shiver ran down her spine as she imagined it

how she would sleep in this short nightgown. She had the feeling that her shyness made her even more and that she would be exposed to the eyes of the other girls.

The thoughts in her head were swirling around wildly when a gentle knock on the door snapped her out of her musings. Stefan, the only boy at the boarding school, stood shyly in the doorway. He was also struggling with his shyness and was obviously just as embarrassed as Christin.

"Hi, I'm Stefan," he stuttered and lowered his eyes. "I think we're going to have the only mixed room in the boarding school."

Christin felt her cheeks redden as she avoided eye contact. She had never spoken so directly to a boy before, let alone one in such an intimate situation as this. The feeling of vulnerability intensified even more.

Johanna broke the awkward silence and introduced the two of them. She tried to create a relaxed atmosphere and explained the ins and outs of boarding school life to Stefan.

"It's important that you stick to the rules, Stefan," Johanna said seriously. "There is no tolerance for breaking the rules here. Any transgression will be punished with punishment."

Stefan's eyes widened in shock, while Christin felt uncomfortable at the thought of punishment. She couldn't imagine what it would be like to experience chastisement. Her shyness already made it difficult enough for her to cope in this environment.

The first night at boarding school was approaching and the tension in the room was palpable. Christin could feel the lump in her throat and felt a mixture of excitement and fear. But at the same time, she knew that she was here to overcome her fears and grow.

She straightened her short nightgown and finally lay down in her bed, her heart pounding with uncertainty. Stefan did the same on the opposite side of the room. The silence was only interrupted by the girls' soft breathing.

That night, Christin found it difficult to get to sleep. Thoughts swirled in her head as she tried to get used to her new surroundings. She wondered what her life would be like here at boarding school and whether she would ever be able to overcome her shyness.

Slowly, her eyes closed and she let the darkness envelop her as the challenges of boarding school life awaited her. Christin and Stefan would walk this new path together, hoping that they would not only overcome their fears but also explore their own limits.
