Pix and Bits

Classes and More

Pixie and friends learn things. Some even in class!

This week in Art History and appreciation we got an assignment. An exciting assignment to me! We have to spend at least 2 to 3 hours at the MFA in Boston! That meant I would need to go to Boston and the MFA naked! Dozens of people, maybe hundreds would see me in all my nekkid glory! Woot! I hadn't made any friends in class yet, so I asked Nat to go with, if she wanted to. She was busy with her own projects, (and Kev) and said it would take too much time, but thanked me for asking her.

I was still thinking when I got to lunch and who came to sit with me right away but Chloe! I knew she liked being looked at as much as I did, and hoped that seeing some major art might even make her realize she was a good looking woman to boot! Not that I planned to boot her! Ha ha! Once we sat down I told her about the assignment and asked if she would go with me, even though it meant showing her pretty ass to hundreds of people? Chloe laughed and asked where she signs up for that? I said she just did, and asked what day was best for her, class wise? Because if she had light classes, Wednesday was the free day, but regular admission wasn't too bad. She reminded me that on a Saturday or Sunday, we might pay a few dollars, but wouldn't we have a lot more people looking at us? I grinned and told her she was a genius, and a woman after my own heart!

Chloe grinned back and said she might be after a different part of me, but probably wasn't going to get it anyway, so she will settle for my heart. I laughed and said she might get to look at my parts even if she can't keep them, if we became better friends! Then I asked if she would like to be in my dorm where almost all the group lived? She told me she would love that, if we can figure out a way. I said let's go talk to Sue, she is usually free right after lunch. So we walked to the science building and found Sue in her office. Talking to Kev, surprise, but she waved us right in. Looked like they were talking about books, and not school books, I saw a new Zelazny on the edge of the desk and knew Kev had just finished it. Not my business, I just like knowing things, for the sake of knowing them. Sue asked what I needed, looking right at me. I think she knew already I was usually the one with ideas, and making decisions too. Or thought I was trouble, who knows? Ha Ha!

I told her that almost everyone in our group that lived on campus was in our dorm except Chloe, and was there a way to get her in there too? Please? Also threw in a fat smile, never hurts! She looked at Chloe, then looked at me. Then asked Kev if that was correct! He said it was and it would be nice for everyone if she lived in our dorm too. Sue smiled (at him!) and said she will make it happen today. Just head over to campus housing. Kev pushed the book closer and said goodbye, then came with us as we walked out after thanking Sue. I asked him how he got the power? He smiled and said they trade sci-fi books, plus she is sleeping with his sister! That made so many things clear to me. Even Mike to an extent.

We went to campus housing, and since Sue had called already, they told Chloe to just take her things to the dorm and this was her new room, here's a key. That simple. Kev volunteered to help carry so the three of us got her stuff in one trip. It was work, but we got it done. And one tough trip seemed easier than two or three easy ones. Tell my back that one! Just kidding, really. Chloe wound up just down the hall from me, right on the coed floor too! Sharing Nat's room, which was almost always empty, because Nat was off with Kev of course. Who had the rare single room and no roomie to complain. So great for all!

At supper we let everyone, even Nat know and they were all pretty happy. Seemed most everyone liked Chloe. And felt she was being shoved off to the side, kind of. Nat said she would be a very easy roomie to share with and laughed. Chloe said she was aware and laughed with her. So we were a happy crew, and after eating walked back to our dorm together. That felt good. It felt even better when Chloe took my hand and thanked me for making that happen for her. I said it was no biggie, but she insisted it was, and for most people it was already not even possible, Bur I never seemed to accept limitations at all, and just assumed the world will change. So it often did for me! Then she gave me a hug and kissed me on the cheek. And told me that if I was gay, she would be kissing me on the lips too! Because my lips were very kissable and so was the rest of me! Wow!

I thought that was extremely cool, even if I was straight. Maybe even cooler because of that and I told her so. Kind of like Mike, she told me I was not like most straight women, so she felt OK saying things to me. And even ogling me when she had a chance. I grinned and said I will always like that, so keep it up and now you will have more chances too! We both laughed a little and held hands as we skipped along the walk. Our friends acted like it was all normal, too. Guess it was, if I'm your friend! I am a weirdo, after all, just ask my family, even Jo!

Chloe and I made a plan to go to the MFA the next Saturday. No one asked to go, but here was some interest in going to Boston nude. Chloe asked if anyone liked Halloween, because she got tickets to the Witches ball in Salem every year. Maybe not Boston, but a big deal and lots of people. Everyone was liking that idea a lot. I grabbed Jules and said the three of us can be the witches from Macbeth, and wasn't naked a much better witch outfit than smelly black robes? Jules and Chloe loved that idea. Chloe said she had a friend in the Salem coven and they will like it too, we are not making witches look shabby or ugly. I said nope, we will be the three most gorgeous witches they have seen, we will! Chloe laughed and said maybe I will be, but she is just ordinary.

Well, my friends did not let us down! Every one of them assured Chloe she was a lovely woman and was going to be a beautiful witch too! I could see her face as she accepted that, down inside and made it her own knowledge too and that felt so great. I have always liked helping others, especially people I like. That always makes it better for me, although I help strangers too, I just get extra enjoyment from helping a friend. And from thinking she was no one special three weeks ago to now, when I was seeing her as my friend, maybe even my best friend, seemed pretty cool. We were turning out to like a lot of the same things too, so not a surprise. Chloe was also in my theater arts class on Thursday and told me I had a good surprise this week, because I was going to meet Bitsy, who was now back at school.

Then had to remind me how she had told me I was going to like Bitsy a lot, and she was cute, and a lot like me, and so on. I did remember and said that sounded fun but why was she gone? Chloe said there was some family issue, but not to ask, as she was a very private person. But I was going to like her for certain. On Thursday, we went to class and Chloe did introduce me to Bitsy. And since we were working in groups we got to spend the class as a trio. It was a three hour class, a workshop once a week. Until the school play when we would work for most of a week I understood. Bitsy was small and cute. Not as small as me, but still not a lot bigger either. She had black hair, golden skin and was kind of Japanese! I asked if she lived on campus, or at home and she said she lived in the dorm, the one they call the Hill. I smiled and said we all do, at least everyone from our test group who lives on campus does. She looked at Chloe who said she had just moved there on Tuesday night and now we did.

The seven who lived on campus were all in the coed dorm together. That struck all of us as fun, just because I guess. After that, we seemed to have broken the ice, so to speak. Bitsy told me her name, which I can neither spell or pronounce, and said she likes Bitsy anyway and we can all say it. Then she asked me if I like her bum, with a big grin. I told her it was pretty, even of I like boys, but I do think she has a nice body, and her bum is a nice one. She smiled and told me I was pretty too, and had very fine boobies, was that the right word? I grinned and said I would say teats, but boobies was fine too.

Bitsy told me she was also a straight girl and liked the boys, but was still able to see if someone was pretty, like me and Chloe. But she wanted to tell us her last name which is Otsuko! Was not that funny? Then laughed, and in a minute told us her name means "big moon" in Japanese and she has just found that showing someone your bum is called that too! I smiled and Chloe and I both laughed with her now we knew the joke! Then I thanked her for saying I was pretty and kicked Chloe in the shin. Twice, and then she got it and thanked Bitsy also. I told Bitsy that Chloe does not always see herself fairly and does not think she is pretty, but I think she has a pleasing shape, even if I don't sleep with girls.

Wow, Bits went off in Japanese at Chloe for a couple minutes! I was glad it was not me, gotta say. When she stopped I asked what that was about and surprise, Chloe said she was telling her to remember she was a pretty girl and ignore her evil brothers. But in Japanese. I asked if she spoke Japanese and she mumbled yes. Bitsy said not to be shy and she also speaks Spanish, Italian and some Russian. I think my eyes were kinda round and I said that was pretty impressive, I was still struggling with high school Spanish. Chloe said she can help me if I want? And we can practice together, any time I like.

I told her I like her more every day, but tell me if she has any more surprises, like being a complete genius? Then told her I would love to be able to speak Spanish better and yes, that would be fun. Bitsy told her she was pretty and had value to her friends, see? I asked Chloe if Bitsy would like the museum too, or did she want to just go with me by ourselves? She smiled and said she would like it either way, but she is going to see me a lot now, because she and Jules are switching rooms. Seemed Jules wanted a solo, and with Nat in Kev's room kinda permanently, she decided to ask, And Chloe thought being my roomie was a slice of heaven it seemed.

I gave her a hug (the prof was not looking!) and said I liked that idea, and I was still not gay, just so she got it. Chloe smiled and said I was still fun and so pretty, she wanted to be my roomie and my friend. I said she was in danger of being my best friend, and I hoped she was ready for the responsibility! Bitsy, in a very matter of fact tone told me that in her country many women pillow together for fun and companionship, even after they marry. So it is not a shameful thing to lie with another woman at all. I kept quiet, unusual I know. But I was liking Bitsy, even if I definitely disagreed with some of her theories.

As we got to the end of the class I made up my mind, and asked Bitsy if she would like to go to the MFA on Saturday with the two of us. She was delighted and said she would love that! We quickly made a plan to meet at breakfast on Saturday. I reminded her to bring her ID and she told me quite seriously she always carried it, because Sue said we must. I guess Japanese kids learn some things differently than I had. At dinner I saw Jules, who also told me that she and Chloe had switched, and seemed to want to reassure me it was not personal, she was hoping to get lucky with some guy and wanted the privacy. I told her it was all good with me, and we were still pals.

Then I wished her well, and asked who the guy was. She grinned and said she had not made up her mind who was getting lucky, there were so many flavors to pick from! Not my way, bit it didn't bother me. Different strokes, right? Unless you are so religious you feel you need to tell everyone else what to do, at least. Yeah, really not over my 'rents, or my brother yet at all. After eating I gave my big sis a call. She was happy to hear from me and said it was great I was making friends. I told her about our trip to the MFA tomorrow and she said I was going to really have fun there. And would I like to meet her for Italian food afterward? Her treat? I said I would but two of my friends were going with me, and it would feel rude to run off on them afterwards. Jo said no problem, she will buy us all dinner! And reminded me she lives by herself, has no girlfriend, so she usually can afford a treat like that.

Later we had our usual klatch in the common room, and tonight Bitsy was there too. During the evening I asked her and Chloe if they like Italian food They both said yes and I said that was great, because Jo was buying us dinner tomorrow at Anthony's! Bitsy said my sister was very generous, and Chloe told me she had heard that restaurant was very good, but a little expensive too. I told them Jo had no girlfriend, so she had the extra, and wanted to meet my new friends, too. Bitsy smiled and went off to bed. In our room, Chloe asked of my big sister was gay? I laughed and said yes, even if she has no girlfriend at the moment, she is still gay. We laughed about how that sounded and went to sleep ourselves.

Saturday morning we found Bitsy waiting to walk to breakfast with us, so we all walked together. After a quick meal we took the bus to Boston. Two weeks into the program, the bus driver didn't bat an eye when three naked girls got on the shuttle to Boston. It was about a 40 minute ride, but we were chatting excitedly, and looking around so it seemed fast to us. The bus dropped us at South Station, and we took the subway to Huntington Ave and the MFA. That was the first time on a subway for all of us, and it was both fun and a little scary. Three naked girls, in an underground train station, like I said fun and a little bit scary. But no muggers or rapists found us, if there were any around, so it was fine. Back on the street we got our bearings and were at the museum quickly. Chloe told me she liked being looked at, but out here in the open was a lot better! I told her I felt the same way. Bitsy just smiled and said it seemed we had been safe, so why worry about what did not occur? I was liking her attitude a lot.

Bitsy insisted on paying our admission, because I was buying dinner, or my sister was at least. I thought that was pretty great. We were in awe, walking around and looking at everything, I liked the impressionists wing the best, I have a real love of Monet particularly, but like most of his fellows as well. Chloe seemed to like Van Gogh, Gauguin and a few others as much as I liked Monet et al, and Bitsy was just drinking in the entire place.

Took me a little time to even start noticing the people looking at us! But once I did, oh boy! I started having as much fun watching people looking as I was looking myself! Chloe was torn, she wanted to look at the art, the people looking at us, and me 'n Bitsy too! I told her she needed more eyes and we all giggled a little. Funny, we had to show our ID's at the door when we entered, but not one guard had said a thing about us being nude. Either they knew about us, or thought we were part of a new exhibit I guess. The "exhibitionist exhibit" maybe? Ha Ha!

By the time we found the cafe, we were ready for some coffee and a snack too! Once we got our things, Chloe paid, saying it was her turn! Then we picked a table with good exposure to sit at. Wanted everyone to get a good look! They sure did, too. We were not being too "ladylike" in our sitting habits! So if you wanted a look, it was right there to stare at! Especially Bitsy, who shaved her cute puss. Hey, still not gay, but it is a cute one! I was becoming sure she was like me and Chloe, just more subtle about it.

Being me, of course I asked once I had the thought. Bitsy gave me a tiny smile and said in her culture it was not correct to show that you enjoyed such things, but yes, she liked it very much when men looked at her body and some women too, if they seem to like what they see, like her friend Chloe does! That made Chloe giggle, and give her a look from toes to crown too! Which got a grin back, and Bitsy said that was OK, we were friends and our culture thought that was fine, so she can show us she likes it.

I noticed after that, if Chloe or I was looking, she would show some enjoyment, but otherwise had her usual calm, stoic expression pasted on. That got to be fun now that I knew better! We looked around another hour or so, and then decided to head to the North End. We got off early to walk through Fanueil Hall, and the Government Center area just for a quick look, and it was pretty impressive! Down the end, I saw brass garbage, banana peels and such embedded in the walkway, and asked a man standing nearby why that was there. He looked local and I guessed right. He did know, or at least what he said made sense. This part used to house the New England produce markets, the wholesalers to all the grocery stores in the greater Boston area and until about fifteen years ago the garbage would have been the real thing! He asked if he can ask us a question too and I said sure. No surprise, it was why are we naked?

Bitsy told him we were part of an important study for the state and he took that in.

Then I winked "Also because we can!" and laughed. Both girls giggled with me, and he gave us a big smile, saying it was a nice day for it, and we looked quite lovely!

Of course we all thanked him, and showed off a little, just to make sure he saw everything! He was a nice man after all. Then we walked on toward the North End. That fabled part of Boston where the Italians had settled and made it their own. Don't get me wrong. It was big, and most of the buildings looked old, but it didn't look especially Italian to me. Chloe said the same thing, and Bitsy said when she went to Chinatown it was pretty special, you could tell it was a different place, but this was just more of the city, wasn't it? We turned a corner and saw three old men sitting on a bench, eating peppers out of greasy paper bags, looked at each other and smiled. I guess it was different after all. And now I was smelling the cooking aromas too, sausage, peppers, oregano and so on, drifting though the air. It was kind of great and I said so. Of course I did! I always say whatever is on my mind right now!

Bitsy noticed that, and said she liked that about me. She always knew what I was thinking, so she never worried about whether I liked her or not, because I would just tell her. I grinned and said like I tell her she has a cute little bum and she giggled. Chloe asked what about her and I said she knows I love my curvy friend! She smiled and I said she was my favorite scenic vista, all curves and smiles and she smiled even bigger. Bitsy said it was true, Chloe has great curves, but since we are not gay, maybe we should not tease her. Chloe told us both she was aware we are not gay, but she loves it when we compliment her, so please don't stop. We had fun walking along, glancing at people staring at us, and just having fun.

Then as we passed an alleyway, two men stepped out. I say men, but really older boys. Maybe 18, maybe not yet. They said to give them money. I said we didn't have any, and one said maybe we can give them something else then. Then Bitsy stepped in front of me. And told the boy-men to go away, or they will be hurt. One laughed and grabbed at her shoulder. That was a mistake. In no time at all he was on the ground and as his friend attacked her too, she handled him easily as well.

Then Bitsy said "You boys should listen more", kicked one in the ass, and we walked away.

Chloe and me both told her she was awesome! I said if she was not there I would have had to run very fast, and she told me that was a good idea, if I was not well trained. Chloe kind of choked off a laugh and I said I would like to be well trained. Bitsy said she will think about that, whatever that means. In a few minutes we found Anthony's and there was Jo, right next to the door! I ran ahead a few steps to give her a big hug and Jo asked if I was OK. I told her what had just happened, and she asked the other two if they were alright too. I told her my new hero Bitsy saved us, and Jo smiled at her, and said thank you. Bitsy said it was easy, and they were not good fighters, or very smart. Chloe laughed and I asked if that was why she kicked that one as we left. Bitsy said she had to show how contemptuous of them she was, didn't she? We laughed then and agreed that of course she did. And maybe it even taught them a lesson.
