A Series of Embarrassing Events
Chapter 37: A Spell of Trouble
Noah learns what Daniel has been planning for him - an embarrassing summer adventure awaits.
Noah humiliates himself on stage at school.
Excerpt:
Noah could hear Jonas talking again but he was more aware of the back of the box opening; he half turned but before he could get very far the firm hand of Dural was on his shoulder. Noah remained in position and felt the collar of his stretchy outfit being pulled - seconds later he felt scissors slice down the spine.
Too shocked to react, Noah passively allowed Dural to pull each sleeve and the top fell at the front but was whipped away by Dural, leaving Noah topless. The whole thing had taken seconds and the door behind him closed. A few taps on the box indicated Jonas was ready to open the front door again and Noah braced himself.
"By the powers of the Five Dukes, I command you to vanish," Jonas incanted for a second time.
The top door opened to reveal Noah's head – an unruly mop of blonde hair – bare shoulders and exposed chest. The silence transformed from pensive anticipation to stunned.
"Oops. Well, I sure made something disappear," joked Jonas.
The crowd laughed heartily, more than the joked warranted - as people were wont to do when surprised and unsure how else to react. Jonas opened the rest of the doors to show Noah was otherwise intact.
For a boy who thrived on exposure, Noah felt incredibly exposed. He was only topless and still had on the stretchy but skin-tight cycling shorts and soft shoes. However, Noah felt exposed: his skinny and hairless chest and slim waist, his bellybutton bereft of a treasure trail down to the shorts where a boy lump filled the front.
Someone catcalled from the gloomy hall, others chuckled, someone else commented on his nipples and everyone thought it was a marvellous trick. It was a silly boys game and the boys were entertained by it.
"I'll try again," Jonas promised as he closed all the doors.
The moment the front was closed again, the back door opened and Noah felt the waistband of his skin-tight shorts being pulled and then the scissors sliced through the ass of the fabric and then down the left leg. In less than ten seconds, the other leg was sliced too and the leggings were not only destroyed but spirited away.
Dural had worked while Jonas rambled on. Piece by piece, Noah was being stripped in front of an audience of schoolboy peers.
