Return to Daphne Xu.
The next morning was Saturday, without school of course. Dad was reading the newspaper when Oliver came down for breakfast, but promptly put it down and left the room with an expression Oliver had never before seen. Oliver glanced at the paper, and found that the headlined article was about the riot at school.
Oliver had virtually no interaction with Dad the rest of the year. Dad was usually gone when he was home. Mom cooked the food, washed dishes, and cleaned the common areas of the house, and pretty much left Oliver alone. She looked upon him with expressions of fear and sadness. Oliver was pretty much left to do as he wished, to come and go as he wished. Her wallet was also left pretty much open for his lunch money and other expenses.
On the other hand, relations with Jenny were the best ever. Whenever he was home for the evening, he spent it in his room nude, doing homework or reading, or writing things. Jenny sometimes joined him, bringing her homework and books, disrobing as well. On those nights, Jenny slept in bed with Oliver.
As a consequence, Jenny's grades improved. She got almost straight As the rest of the year.
The Program was canceled at school, to the relief of most of the students. A new pair of naked students was not chosen. A few were disappointed.
Oliver stayed in the girls' PE class, still participating naked. A policy was established allowing PE students to participate in the opposite sex's section, provided they participated nude. Anyone was allowed to participate nude. Several other boys joined the class. They were mostly the shy boys like him, who were very uncomfortable in the boys' class. Coming to the girls' class was something of a relief, even if they had to practice naked. Nudity was very much a non-issue in Oliver's class, at least.
Thuy stayed with the boys in PE. They respected her abilities almost from the start, well before her fight with the three security men. According to the news article, Thuy had stomped on a couple males in her first boys' PE class, when they offended her. A few other girls, including Valerie, joined the boys.
The Principal, the Assistant Principal, and the three security guards who had attacked Thuy were dismissed from their positions and were being prosecuted. The trial as yet was set in the distant future. The Assistant Principal had a compound fracture in one leg. The newspaper article quoted Thuy as ensuring that he could not rejoin the fight. The article had a momentary humorous diversion about three grown men barely able to take on and subdue a fourteen-year-old girl in a fight.
It was uncertain whether the Program would ever be reestablished at BS Middle School -- definitely not without careful study of the experiences of other schools, and probably not before next year. Coerced sexual activity would be barred, and it would be assured that parents would not punish their children for being in the program.
Oliver finished his French paper -- after careful editing, it maxed out at 12,000 words. He gave an oral presentation near the end of class, based on the paper. Mlle. Ellut persuaded him to present his paper not only to his class, but also to a French class at high school and to an audience of French students at the local university. He received an A in the class. He took the final exam, even though he was exempt. He wanted to see if he could do it. A student complained about his promised exemption, but was informed that what Oliver did was the equivalent of a college course in French.
Thuy and Oliver remained good friends, although never boyfriend and girlfriend. It seemed to Oliver that at any given time, Thuy had at least four boyfriends. Fred was always in the picture in some way or other. Two or three times every week, Oliver, Wendy, and Fred spent the afternoon at Thuy's house, practicing self-defense.
Wendy stuck to Oliver like glue, and was seen as Oliver's girlfriend. Meili, Heather, her younger brother Russell, Linda, and Patrick often joined Oliver and Wendy after school and on weekends. A few of their parents allowed coed sleepovers. Russell and Heather finagled the coed sleepovers at their house by having Russell invite the boys and Heather, the girls.
It was at one of these sleepovers that Patrick was persuaded to demonstrate the knitting-needle-up-the-dick practice. Patrick slowly slid the 12-inch knitting needle all the way in the pee-hole so that only three inches protruded from his dick. "Oooo, ahhhh, aiiiieeee" were the limits of his common vocabulary during the process.
"How does it feel?" asked Linda.
"Wonderful," Patrick answered breathlessly. "Just wonderful" gasp "I can only imagine" gasp "what it would" gasp "be like to" gasp "fuck a girl" gasp "with this in my dick." gasp "I feel perpetually on the" gasp "edge of orgasm." gasp "When I first started," gasp "I would orgasm as soon" gasp "as the needle tip" gasp "reached the bottom" gasp "of my dick. Now," gasp "I stay on the edge" gasp "for a couple hours. In fact" gasp "I only finally go" gasp "if something jiggles it." gasp.
"Like this?" asked Linda, as she reached forward and touched the knitting needle.
"Oh-my-God," gasped Patrick. "You've" gasp "begun the" gasp "process." His dick jerked up and down, and with every jerk Patrick gasped out an expression, "Oh by God!" gasp "This is" gasp "this is" gasp "this is good!" gasp, gasp, "Oh, yes yes" gasp "that's perf-" gasp "that's perf-" gasp "that's perfect!" gasp. Sperm didn't spurt out like usual; instead it slowly oozed out the pee-hole, to dribble down. Patrick kept gasping out the various expressions of various colors and intensities. It went on for the next fifteen or twenty minutes. It appeared that every time the dick jerked the needle, the needle provided a fresh jerk of stimulus.
Eventually, the needle worked its way about half-way out, and Patrick fainted in relief. Meili commented, "He sounds very much like my sister when her boyfriend licks her down there."
When Patrick recovered sufficiently to talk coherently, he asked Oliver and Russell, "Wanna try it?"
Oliver was just too scared, "Um, not tonight. I think we should get to sleep now, anyways." Russell expressed a similar sentiment.
Wendy and Oliver were also often together apart from the clique. Sometimes they spent the night at Thuy's after practice. Wendy took Oliver home and introduced him to her family -- both she and Oliver returned to their original bashfulness that first time. Later, Oliver became more comfortable visiting, and even occasionally sleeping over. Also, Wendy began coming to Oliver's house. Wendy and Jenny became good friends; the three often together in Oliver's room after dinner, spending the evening and night naked.
It was with Wendy that Oliver first had sex, and first did cunnilingus and fellatio It was also with Wendy and her help that Oliver tried the knitting-needle-down-the-peehole trick.
Finally, school ended for the summer, and Oliver graduated from middle school.
Saturday night after school ended, a wealthy family of one of the students put on a graduation party for the entire passing eighth-grade class at BS Middle School. It took place in a large hall at the local Hilton Hotel. Every eighth-grader who passed was invited, and each could bring a guest.
On that day, all young men and women, dressed in their best, sat at the tables for dinner. The class president spoke up in front. "Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls, we have a special event this evening. Let me present Oliver Nelson and Thuy Pham!"
Oliver and Thuy, nude except for formal shoes and socks, and formal men's tuxedo tie for Oliver, entered from the rear arm-in-arm. Everyone applauded as they walked down the red carpet through the dining hall and up to the podium. They turned and faced the assemblage, to the applause of all and numerous camera flashes.
Then they separated. Thuy went to one table, with seven boys including her current boyfriends and two teachers. Oliver went to another table, where Wendy, Heather, Meili, Linda, Patrick, Russell, Valerie, and Jenny were seated. Oliver was surprised at his sister's presence. Two teachers were also at this table. Oliver sat at the seat held vacant for him, between Wendy and Jenny. Wendy pressed up hard against him for a moment.
They had a good dinner, and conversed among themselves.
After dinner, tables were moved, lights dimmed, flashing colored lights turned on, and dance music begun. This was the first dance Oliver had ever attended, and he didn't quite know what to do. He felt a bit out of place here, quite forgetting for the moment that he was naked.
The music was loud with a heavy beat. Heather took his hand and pulled both him and Wendy out onto the dance floor. She began gyrating and stepping in time with the beat. Oliver just stood there feeling stupid, and from the expression on her face, Wendy felt the same way. Oliver decided to try to imitate Heather. Soon, all three of them were dancing in some sense on the dance floor.
"Just a minute, I'll be back," said Heather, leaving Oliver and Wendy alone. She returned shortly, dragging her brother Russell by the hand. Apparently, she was far more familiar with dancing than her brother, who appeared as lost as Oliver.
The pounding music ended, and a new song began, almost as loud but much slower. Couples began holding each other. Russell stepped forward and put his arms on Wendy's waist. Heather took Oliver's hands, and placed them on her waist, and then put her hands on his shoulders. Wendy watched Oliver out the corner of her eye, and put her hands on Russell's shoulders. The couples all swayed back and forth, slowly going in circles, slowly sliding in to press up against each other. A couple couples held each other waltz-style.
The music paused, and another slow dance began. Wendy quickly claimed Oliver, and others came to dance with Heather and Russell.
The dancing went late, with lots of slow dances and fast dances. Oliver wound up dancing with everyone in his group of friends, including his sister Jenny and the boys. The weirdest part was when he was slow-dancing with Patrick. It felt strange feeling his naked body pressed up against him, and that was one of the few times he actually recalled his nakedness.
He also saw, to his surprise, Jenny dancing with Thuy's little brother Don. Apparently, he came as Thuy's guest.
In the middle of things, after a song ended, something noisy from the other end of the hall attracted Oliver's attention. White lights flashed on, and everyone shouted, "One! Two! THREE!" Thuy flew up in the air, somersaulted, spread out wide in a split, and landed laughing in a mass of waiting arms.
Up she flew a second time, and again a third time. Finally, laughing and gasping, she slid down into the mass of boys and disappeared from Oliver's sight. Everyone applauded, and the lights returned to the rotating colors.
The band lead singer announced, "This is for all you lovers." Wendy hopped over like lightning, and plastered herself against Oliver. Heather appeared right behind her and pressed against her. Oliver found his right arm going around Wendy's back, tucked between her and Heather, but his left arm going around Heather's back. Someone pressed up against Oliver's back, Linda was Oliver's guess. Valerie took position against Oliver's left side.
Snug in the cocoon of four girls, he spotted Russell and Meili dancing, and Jenny dancing with both Patrick and Don. What was happening, he wondered for a moment, before letting himself be caught up in the feverish sensations of the girls and the music.
Eventually, the party was over. Oliver got dressed, and Patrick's parents drove him and the group of friends (including Jenny) to Patrick's house for a sleepover to finish the celebration.
Thus ended Oliver's eighth grade and life-changing year in school.
