Loving this drew! Many questions:


Will Bailey just get used to being naked around Ben
Will she start spending more time naked around Ben -- going downstairs for food, watching TV, etc
What about naked in front of Ben and Craig at the same time
Does Ben even have friends he might invite over sneakily
Will Bailey turn into an at home nudist

BAILEY

The universe has a habit of informing us when something is off. A sense of eeriness. A pit in our stomach. Nothing occurring smoothly. But today, I didn’t need to rely on signs from the universe. The students at Webberson High let me know as soon as I stepped through the doors.

“There she is!” Bryce announced when he spotted me.

I frowned, uncomfortably, as a group of probably twenty kids grinned and stared at me. Most of them had their phones out.

“Show her!” Brad said.

Several of the phones turned around to face me and I felt the blood rush from my face as I saw what had them so amused. A picture of my boobs that I sent to Craig had made its way to every single phone in front of me!

“Whaaaa….” I stuttered.

“Bahahahahahahaha!!!!!” The group of students, guys and girls, broke into a fit of laughter.

“They’re incredible, Bailey!” Bryce grinned at me, nodding at my chest.

“Best in the school!” Another kid yelled out.

“Can I stick my dick between em?!”

“Ohhhhhh, nooooo!!!!” I cried out, and took off down the hallway. I escaped into the girls’ room and found a stall. I pulled up my phone and began furiously typing out a text to Craig. But I didn’t press send, yet.

My phone began blowing up.

“Oh no, Bailey!” Maria sent.

“Hey, call me, wanna give you a heads up…” from Jamie.

“B!! Somethin shitty goin on, workin on damage control. Call me or Adira when you see this!” From Leslie.

But it wasn’t all support. There were numerous messages floating in, some from numbers I had saved, some from unrecognized numbers, taunting me about the picture. A couple of people had even sent me the pic itself with fire and heart and eggplant and every other emoji imaginable. My hands were shaking.

I collected myself. I decided I wanted to confront Craig in person, and not give him any time to come up with some bs excuse. Once I wiped the tears out of my eyes and calmed down, I exited.

I headed straight for Craig’s locker but on the way ran into Landon. Unlike the other guys, he didn’t seem amused. In fact, he was kind of pissed.

“Thought you didn’t feel comfortable sending those,” he sneered.

“It’s not your business anymore, Landon,” I said, storming past him.

“Well, now the whole school’s seen your tits. Hope you’re happy with your choice!”

I didn’t even look back at him.

I turned the corner, and found my soon-to-be ex-boyfriend.

“How could you?!” I babbled, as the tears started coming back. “Why?!”

“Bailey, you have to believe me I have no idea how it got out!” Craig said in one breath.

“I trusted you, Craig!”

“Bailey, I swear! Why would I do that?!”

“I don’t know! Cause you’re just another stupid boy who’s obsessed with what his jerk friends think about him!”

“It wasn’t me!”

There was a crowd forming around us, now. I saw Maria and Adira, looking on with concern.

“Then who was it, Craig?! Cause the pic was just between you and me!” I balled.

“I….I don’t know,” Craig admitted. “Maybe my phone -"

“Oh yeah, your phone was hacked. Yeah okay, sure,” I finished his sentence with heavy cynicism.

“Bailey, I don’t even have it on my phone!” Craig opened his album and showed me.

“Cause you have zero idea how to delete pics? That means nothing!”

“WHOOOOOOO!!!!!” Some guys in my grade ran by us with a printed out copy of the photo, shouting with glee.

“Max, stop!” Craig yelled at one of them.

“It’s too late Craig!” I shouted. “Standing up for me now means nothing! We’re done! I’m not going to prom with you! I’m not going with you on your college visits, I don’t ever even want to talk to you again!”

I ran off in tears as my classmates continue to heckle me. Craig didn’t follow.

CRAIG

When I found out the picture Bailey sent me had leaked, I was mortified. Probably just as much as she was, though I would never say that to her. I frantically began searching through my Snapchat and other apps to find out if there were any abnormal log-ons. I couldn’t find any, but I’m not the greatest at this type of thing.

I hadn’t even screenshotted the pic myself, how the fuck did someone else get it?

Bailey attacked me in the hallway and I’ve never felt worse in my life. I had blown it. The girl of my dreams. A girl I saw a future with. And I hadn’t even done anything.

There had to be some way I could prove this wasn’t me. Some type of trail on the picture. The only person I knew who may be computer savvy enough to figure it out didn’t exactly have motivation to help me. Still, I had to try.

On my way to the library after school, Adira caught me.

“Craigory…..” she called out. “Wait up.”

“Look, Adira, I feel bad enough as it is, okay?”

“Can you at least tell me who you sent it to? I believe you when you say you didn’t intend for it to leak to everyone. So, who did?”

I was getting frustrated by this.

“Craiggggggg!!!!!! You are THE MAN!!!!” Theo honked at us as he exited the parking lot.

“Not a good look, Craig,” Adira said.

“You think I’m enjoying this?”

“No, actually. I know you’ve had a crush on Bailey all year. And you were happier than ever with her. So….what the fuck?”

“I don’t know what else to say, or do. In fact, I’m on my way to see Bailey’s little brother right now.”

“Bahahaha! You think Ben is gonna get Bailey back for you?!”

“No. But I think he may have a way of tracing down how the pic was circulated. I don’t know, I don’t know who else to turn to and he’s obsessed with computers and shit.”

Adira eyed me curiously. “….you….actually didn’t do this, did you?” She pondered.

“No!”

“Huh,” she said.

“What’s that mean?”

“It means I’m gonna help you out. Well, help both of you out,” she paused. “I’ll talk to Bailey. Go see what Ben says.”

“Thank you, Adira. You’re the first person to -“

“All downhill after those ta-tas, Craig!!!!” Jay called out.

“Grrrrrrr,” I groaned.

“It’s gonna take her time, Craig. I’m not gonna approach her for a bit. In the meantime, you gotta lay low too. Avoid your idiot friends as much as you can, okay?”

“Yup,” I said.

We parted ways and I headed over to the library. I spotted Ben at the front desk. He looked startled at first, and a bit defensive.

“Dude, Ben, hey. I know we’re not like, friends or anything, and don’t really talk much – or at all. But…I could really use your help with something.”
Something changed in his expression. He went from fearful to….oddly confident? In control.

“Man….You fucked up BIG time,” he said.

“But see that’s just it…I have no clue how that pic leaked. I didn’t even screenshot it or anything. Is there a way for two people to be logged onto Snapchat at the same time?”

“Possibly, depending on the settings and if they’ve logged on to that username before,” he shrugged.

“Okayyyy….is there a way to track down the original file? And figure out whose device it was originally on?”

“I mean…that would take…well, I suppose this photo leaked from that ’twatarazzi’ website…or whatever?”

“It’s on there, yes.”

“So…if you presume that that pic is the original copy, you may be able to get info on where it came from, I guess.”

“Oh, thank God! Can you take a look?”

“Well, that would entail me looking at this picture of my sister, which is, disgusting, frankly. No, I’m not gonna do that.”

I scoffed. The one kid in school with the skills to help me also happens to be the one dude who, understandably, does not want to see Bailey topless.

“Do you have any friends that might be able to help?” I asked, with desperation.

There was some commotion behind me. A group of freshmen were gathering their stuff loudly and heading out.

“Your sister’s got a nice rack!” One shouted before all of them scampered off, snickering.

For a moment, there was a twinkle in Ben’s eyes, before he returned to his typical bored expression.

“I’ll ask around, okay? But honestly, this is a long shot,” Ben said. “I gotta get back to work.”

“Thank you!” I replied. I left him to it.

BAILEY

I feel like an awful person. A topless picture of Kaila leaked a few days after mine, and then, a week later, a bombshell dropped. A video of Maria, Jamie, and Nikki flashing everything on a webcam chat circulated - and I was secretly relieved about it.

It took some attention off me. I know it’s horrible but I can’t help it. Obviously, I haven’t let them see my true feelings over it.

“I told you I didn’t wanna do that stupid game!!!” Maria sat, hands in her face, in the cafeteria. It was 3 days after the drop, and the first time all of us had been together to discuss it.

“How are these guys getting all this stuff?!” Nikki said.

“Well, I know how they got mine…” I muttered.

“I don’t even care,” Jamie said. “Those dudes prolly knew someone at school. Plus, I was wearing a soccer shirt with our logo on it. All I care about is who’s next.”

Nikki nodded in agreement.

“Is that bad?” Jamie laughed.

Some of my brothers’ friends, at least I think they are his friends, walked slowly by us, grinning ear to ear, and looking each one of us up and down. Maria threw her sandwich at them. That just brought on more attention.

“Yo, Maria!” Brad called out.

Maria glared at him.

“You get a chance to shave yet?” He asked. Students listening in began smirking.

“Leave us alone, dude” Jamie snapped.

Brad ignored her. “Cause if ya did, I got 100 internet points here in my pocket if you let us see!” He cackled. Unfortunately, Maria didn’t have any food left to throw at him. But we were about to get the distraction we needed regardless.

“CODE 69! CODE 69! CODE 69!” Theo was running through the cafeteria shouting hysterically. “Wait till you guys see the new leak!”

“Attention all staff and students, there is an impromptu assembly in the gymnasium at 12 PM sharp. Again, there is an impromptu assembly in the gymnasium at 12 PM sharp.” Principal Clark’s voice announced over the loudspeakers.

“Wonder what that’s gonna be about,” Maria said with heavy sarcasm, scowling over in Brad and Theo's direction.

We made our way to the gym and I spotted Craig. Our eyes met for the first time since our breakup. I did my best to hold my glare at him before I looked away.

“Alright everyone, settle down,” Principal Clark got our attention over the microphone. “We don’t have a lot of time, so I’m gonna cut right to the chase. There have been numerous instances throughout the year involving the girls of this school and the unsolicited distribution of photographs and recordings of them in…various states of undress.”

Excited chatter broke out in the crowd.

“Quiet!” He paused. “As faculty, up until now, we’ve chosen to handle these instances as best we could on an individual basis.”

“Handle what?!” Taylor shouted out, clearly annoyed. “Y’all have done nothing!”

“Yeah Taylor!” Shelby and her gang cheered for their friend.

“Ms. Powell, we can chat in my office after the assembly, if you’d like,” Principal said, curtly. “However! With the events of the past few weeks -“
I felt a ton of eyes looking back at me and my friends. “- including a new image brought to my attention today that involves faculty member,”

“What?!?!?!!”

“NOOOO!!!!!”

“Who?!”

“Check the app before she’s gone!” Brad called out.

Principal Clark turned to look at Ms. Kealoha and he looked even creepier than normal. She looked pissed as she saw him staring.

“Did you guys see that?!” Jamie asked.

“Yup,” I said.

“Ms. Kealoha is involved in this now?!” Maria questioned.

“SILENCE!” Principal Clark boomed. “We have decided on a zero-tolerance policy for ANY involvement in the production, or distribution, of pornography. LADIES…stop taking nude photographs of yourselves. People – who you didn’t intend to – WILL see them.”

“He’s seriously blaming us?!?!?!” I questioned.

“What a prick,” Jamie said.

“GENTLEMAN. Anyone caught sharing photos or videos of the females at this school from here on out will be suspended one week and then handed over to the police. Anyone caught forcibly stripping another student, will be EXPELLED on the first infraction. Are we clear?”

No one said anything.

“I said, ARE WE CLEAR?”

Most people murmured, yes.

“Okay then, you’re dismissed.”

The entirety of the school rumbled down the bleachers, talking excitedly amongst themselves. When I exited the gym Landon approached me.

“Wow Bailey. Your tits got this whole place on lockdown,” he said in a non-joking manner. I didn’t even look at him. “If you had just sent them to me in the first place, I never would’ve leaked it. And no way I would’ve broken up with ya after seeing THOSE,” he glanced down at my breasts and winked.

“I broke up with you,” I said.

“Yeah, well…you know what I mean.”

“Obviously I don’t,” I turned and walked away, not looking back. I reached my locker, and felt a tap on my shoulder.

“Just let it go, Landon! God!” I snapped, and turned around. But it wasn’t Landon behind me.

“Oh…hey CJ. Sorry,” I said.

“It’s okay,” he said, meekly. “Hey, I just wanted to come up and say I’m sorry about everything you’ve been going through.”

I looked at him, but didn’t say anything.

“I’ve seen all the crap Kaila’s been put through since her pic leaked…and….well, I don’t know. It’s tough.”

“Do you know who leaked hers?”

“No. Landon’s been her only serious boyfriend though….”

“Yeah….”

“I asked her about it, and she got mad,” CJ explained. “She’s like ‘why do you even care?!’ And then accused me of looking at the picture, haha,” CJ admitted, with embarrassment. I laughed, all too knowingly.

“Well, thanks Ceej. Sorry I wasn’t the best friend last semester.”

“No worries,” his eyes lit up. “See you around.”

[Pattareth]

Deja vu . Is making the heroine temporarily leave the MC to date the stereotypical “nice guy” loser like your comfortable, familiar plot device for drama. I don’t like it, but I’m not gonna tell you how to write your story if that is where you’re going with this. I’m at least thankful that you spared my nerves and didn’t leave us at the climax of the drama for a few weeks though. Writing a little past the break-up like that with this update is a much appreciated mercy. I don’t need the extra stress lmao.

[Freesub]

This is getting really good!
I can't wait for the Twatarazzi to find a way around the guidelines, maybe by bribing people to leak pics instead of forcibly stripping the girls?

[drew]

CRAIG

If losing the girl of my dreams wasn’t bad enough, I now had eyes on me as a suspect in all this Twatarazzi bullshit. When it rains, it pours.
I got called down to the principal’s office the morning after he had delivered a warning to the school during an assembly. I arrived, and two police officers stood outside the room, along with my father.

“Mr. Anderson,” Principal Clark greeted me. “Please, step inside.”

I did as he asked, and the officers and my dad followed.

“I’m sure you’ve realized why I called you down here today,” Clark said.

“Errr…” I was nervous, but I've faced punishment enough times in my life - usually from doing dumb shit - to know to never admit to wrongdoing. “No, actually.”

“No?”

“No.”

“Okay, then,” Clark sighed. “You were present during yesterday’s assembly, yes?”

“I was.”

“And you are aware of a photograph circulating around the school that involves your girlfriend, Bailey Gibson?”

“Well, she’s not my girlfriend any longer,” I murmured. “But, yes, I’m aware of it.”

“You’re a bright student, Anderson. I’m sure you can piece together why you may be of interest when it comes to this photograph.”

“I didn’t leak the picture,” I said.

The principal smiled. “See! You do know why you’re here!”

“Yes, now that you’ve told me. But again, I didn’t leak the picture.”

“If we find out you’re lying to us, Craig, we won’t be able to be lenient with you.”

I didn’t respond.

“Most of the school, feels that you are the one responsible for having this picture get out.”

“I’m aware, but they’re wrong. And how would they even know?”

“I can see this is going nowhere,” Clark said. “Craig, the officers need to take a look at your phone.”

I looked at the policemen. I was aware they would need a warrant for that, and I probably should ask that they get one. But I had nothing to hide on my phone.

“Craig, my name is Officer Larken. You’re within your rights to not hand over the phone, are you aware of that? Mr. Anderson,” Officer Larken addressed my father, who had remained silent throughout the ordeal, “are you also aware?”

“I’m aware,” I answered. I held my phone over to him.

“Craig…are you sure?” My dad finally spoke.

“Yes, there’s nothing on there,” I said, with confidence.

“Okay…” My dad said, not so sure.

I gave the officers my phone and they spent the next ten minutes searching through it.

“Okay.” Officer Larken handed me back the phone. He glanced at Clark, with a hint of annoyance. “He’s clear.” The two policemen exited the room, no doubt frustrated with the principal for wasting their time.

“Can I go back to class, then?” I asked.

“Yes, yes, get back to class,” Clark snapped. I hurried off.

BAILEY

I used to be the weird kid that loved school. I enjoyed hanging out with my friends, playing sports, crushing over Craig. Not anymore. School had become miserable.

I couldn’t make it a single period without having some jerk comment on my chest. Or just blatantly stare and smirk at it.

Track season had always been fun in the past. Maria, Jamie, and Nikki all ran, and it was a lot less competitive than soccer. Basically, an excuse to hang out with friends outdoors and get some exercise. But Shelby, Taylor, and Alexis also participated, and they were relentless after my friends and I had been leaked.

“Baha! Bailey’s fat tits are way too heavy to do pole vaulting.” Maria had told me Shelby said this when I failed to make it over the bar. I was new to pole vaulting this year, and wasn’t very good yet.

“Guarantee stupid skank wouldn’t let go of that baton if it was a cock!” Alexis snorted after Jamie had dropped the baton during relay.

To top it all off, I got in more trouble with my parents. I got called into the principal’s office and questioned about the picture I had sent Craig. I had to sit there, and be lectured by Principal Clark, knowing he had seen me topless! And he, as well as the police officers who were there, stole multiple glimpses down my shirt. I didn’t get suspended or anything, but my mom and dad let me have it afterward.

“I’ve never been more humiliated in all my life!” My mom shouted when I got home.

“What has gotten into you?!” Dad asked. “You were always such a well-behaved girl!”

“I TOLD you I didn’t like that Craig boy!” Mom said.

“Oh my gosh, Mom, you never even met him!”

“I had a hunch! You’ll understand one day!”

“Bailey, while I’m sure you’ve already learned a devastating lesson from your classmates, we still have to ground you,” Dad began. “Another month.”

“Awww come on!”

“Keep arguing and it will be worse,” Mom threatened. “One month. No leaving the house except for church, school, track, and whatever other school-related things you need to go to.

“Oh my God, this is so unfair! I'm the victim!”

“Did Craig MAKE you take that picture?” Dad asked.

“Well…no. But I obviously didn’t want him to show it to everyone!” I started crying. I knew it was futile to argue. I was going to spend the next month trapped in the house with my perverted deviant of a brother.
