A Series of Embarrassing Events

Chapter 36: Independence Day
Noah's journey home lads to an embarrassing encounter.
Noah and Jamie help Daniel to celebrate his birthday.

Excerpt:
“Noah isn’t it?” the lad asked.
“Yes. Hi. Did you enjoy the show?” Noah answered.
“I did. You’re even cuter without the mask on,” he replied.
Noah grinned in response.
“Do you take your clothes off a lot?” asked one of his friends.
Scott sniggered, “You’ve not met him before, have you?”
Noah playfully swatted Scott in response.
“I’m something of a nudist,” Noah admitted by way of clarifying the comment.
“Really?” said one of the boys but it was dark and hard to see who.
Since Noah did not know any of them, it didn’t really matter.
“Maybe you can help us with a problem then,” the same lad said.
“Me?” Noah asked.
“Yea. We wanted to go to a nightclub but Sunny isn’t really dressed for it,” the lad explained.
“Maybe I could borrow your shirt and jacket?” Sunny – the pretty lad – said.
“And trousers, obviously,” his mate added.
Noah chuckled because they were trying to hustle him out of his clothes like a scene out of The Inbetweeners. Was he really going to go along with it?
“Obviously,” Noah agreed.
“We’ll give you twenty quid for your clothes,” Sunny’s friend said.
“Well? I mean, you did say you’re a nudist so it’s not a big deal, right?” Sunny said.
Noah replied by taking off his jacket and handing it over.
Sunny grinned manically. Getting Noah out of his clothes twice in one night was brilliant. What a weird little guy! Noah pulled the trousers down his skinny legs, slipping out of the shoes to remove them and hand them over.
“Socks too. They’re clothes and a deal is a deal,” one of the lads alleged.
Noah took off his socks and put his bare feet back in his shoes. Noah remained dressed in just black shoes, his briefs and his shirt. The shirt was unbuttoned, but just the top three, and then pulled over his head and tossed to Sunny.
Sunny looked stunned that Noah was actually taking his clothes off outside in the carpark.
“You… would you actually walk home like that?” asked Sunny.
“You really haven’t met him, have you,” Scott remarked.
Noah beamed at him, appreciating the joke at his expense for a second time.
“Like this? Sure I would,” Noah said.
“Do you need briefs that are three sizes too small as well?” someone asked Sunny.
The four friends laughed but they soon looked at Noah to see if he would really do that too.
“Oh I don’t know…” Noah feigned reticence.  
“We said twenty pounds for your clothes. That means all of them,” Sunny’s friend said.
The truth was it was an exciting idea to be stripped outside and have to walk home nude.
“Noah do not give him your pants,” Scott said unnecessarily.
“I think I have to,” Noah said. “I made a deal.”
