It was a school. No way around it. A private school, but a school nonetheless. Students went every day of the week into that school to study, and we were about to go spend some time nude in the company of others.

Yet, today, I am used to it, and back then, I didn't think about it. But Mindy did. She always had, apparently, the fantasy of being able to have a day, perhaps halloween, where she could go to school nude.

I don't understand that desire at all, not then, not now.

But then again, I wasn't comfortable admitting in school that I was a naturist and Mindy didn't mind at much. She didn't yell it on the rooftop, and in reality, back on that day after her 13th birthday, almost no one knew or suspected that she was one yet. But that would change, as she grew bolder.

Still, I could understand being honest. Heck, I am more open about my naturism with my fellow college colleagues, but in high school?

We were a little early, but there were a few people in front of the door.

My parents said they recognized many of them, and a few actually talk to us, and even present themselves, as we are presented to them. I don't recall their names today, and the few that I do at this point, aren't important.

There is a family with three kids, well, two kids and a baby. The parents were in their late twenties, and they had a nice shy 7 year old girl, an excited 4 year old boy and a 1 year old baby girl. Their daughter, Cheryl if I recall, paid initial attention to us outside, but soon realized that two 12 and 13 year old girls didn't show much interest in a girl that young. Well, that's not true. We were nice to her, and later that evening, when we saw her again in the pool, we talked a little but with that much of a gap, it wasn't really possible to connect with her, or her with us.

Plus, later, an 8 year old girl whose name escapes me arrived and they already knew each other and were happy to reconnect. Her 6 year old brother tagged along with them and never interacted with us.

Other kids joined them, and I wondered, if Mindy had not had problems, would I have grown up with other kids my age at these events? I couldn't see other 12 year olds, but maybe they gave up.

That's a problem I didn't get then, but I am aware now.

The first time I went to Mindy's naturist resort, I met Mindy, and only Mindy. If she moved away, I would have no interest in going back there. Perhaps another girl our age would visit a few weeks later, but not return because she finds no friends her age but if she met us, she would beg her parents to come back.

I suspect that Cheryl and the girl I forget her name met here, and both begged their parents to come back to play again with each other. Soon enough, a boy their age arrived, with a younger sister, and they connected. This was in short, a playgroup, reinforcing their attachment to the event. The parents also bonded and talked with each other.

Sure, most of the clients in line were adults, and in particular, men, but I didn't see them much, I didn't care about them. I wanted other people my age.

And then, one showed up. Billy.

I saw him first, as he rounded the corner of the building. When he spotted Mindy and I, he left his father behind and ran to us.

"Hi girls, I'm Billy", he said.

"Hi, I am Julie, this is Mindy", but I saw Mindy all shy, barely able to say hi.

His father caught up to us, and to my surprise, my father spoke to him.

"Hey James, guess what happened since the last event", he said, smiling

"I am happy for you two", said James.

"This is my daughter Julie, and her friend Mindy. Julie, this is James. Him and his son play volleyball with us when we come here"

He offers his hand to me. "I am glad to finally meet you, I heard good things about you"

Now, it was my turn to be shy. What did my parents say exactly?

But then, a young woman arrived, and cut the line, reaching the door which she unlocked.

A couple in their fifties got in with her, and closed the door behind them.

"They are about to open", says Billy.

We sort of got it, but he still felt like explaining it. My parents were talking with James, but I couldn't follow enough between Billy saying that this is his school, so it's super cool to be at his school nude.

Mindy, oddly, told him she was jealous he went to a private school, but he told us that it wasn't really worth it.

The line began to move forward. Indeed, when we made it inside, there were two tables, one for members, where you could show your card, pay the fees and get inside, and the other for non-members which needed showing a picture ID and the information noted in a notebook by the lady.

So far, everyone was dressed, but soon enough, we made it to the male changing room, the second at the back.

"We always go here because there are usually fewer people", said my mom, but Billy explains that even if the gender doesn't matter, he and his dad don't feel comfortable in the other room.

My parents heard, as we began undressing. Mindy didn't waste time and just lifted my sundress off her shoulders and dropped it on the ground, picking it up for our locker.

Billy watched it all, which made me uncomfortable, but she smiled. In fact, she sort of watched him undress.

I was a little shy, but my parents were already half nude and so was James.

My mother asked, "But we are nude, surely it doesn't matter?", she says

"Oh, I know. It's just, I spent my life scared of women's locker rooms, you know?"

"It's weird, me it was the opposite, when I learned I could go, I ran at the occasion", said my father.

"But", says my mother. "He admits he likes the urinals", she says, pointing to them in a little recess.

I look at them, and realize that it is the first time I see one.

I quickly get undressed, and go take a look. Mindy follows me, and Billy follows her.

"So guys just pee in front of it?", I say

"Yeah. We just stand, unzip our pants, take out, you know what, and aim for the gap", Billy says

"Can you show us?", says Mindy

He turned red. "No"

Mindy seems a little embarrassed and just pretends she was joking.

But my mother calls on us.

"If you want to play volleyball kids, you should put your shoes on"

Billy says. "I play barefoot, like my father", and Mindy decides to follow, but I put my socks and my shoes back on, while they wait for me.

By the time we made it to the gymnasium, guided by Billy, the net was being installed by James and another guy.

My parents saluted me. They were talking to an older man, perhaps 50. They presented us, but I don't recall his name.

More people arrived, and settled on the other side of the net, seeing as we were already 6 people on our side. Once the net was completed, James joined us, so we were seven. The other side had 8, but we were the only kids, and they only had two women, one of which was wearing a sports bra, but was barefoot.

Most of the players had shoes, and between you and I, after 15 minutes, Mindy left us for a minute to go grab hers, but she came back to grab my father: they were locked in the locker room.

Down with 2 players, we couldn't compete, but Billy and his father held their ground, as did the older man.

Well, not that my mother and I sucked, but we weren't at the same level.

My father, when he returned, made a huge difference. But like I said, we didn't keep points.

Mindy however, soon grew bored and proposed we made it to the pool.

Billy agreed and to my surprise, our parents let us go, provided we stayed together and with other people.

My father however, once again went with us to the locker room, so that we could put our shoes in it, and grab our towels.

Alone in the locker room, our new friend however, had another idea. We took a little detour to the rest of the school.

The main gate between the school and the sports block was closed, so we wouldn't explore the school. Billy however, was a student here, and made us go upstairs, where there are bleachers over the gym, allowing us to see our parents playing. At the end of the bleachers, was the control room for the lights and points, when there are matches.

"They never lock this door", he says, opening a door at the back of the room. "It's so the tech can easily go to the electrical panel, but it provides access to the main school corridor, this way", he says

"Are you sure it's safe?", asked Mindy

"I know this school. I come here every day, and sometimes, with my soccer team, on the week-end."

"You are on a soccer team?", says Mindy, impressed.

"Oh yeah. Second best in the school"

As we walk, we see pictures of sports teams, and he stops at one. We can spot him, in the group, in his uniform.

"Sports is super important here", he says. But we keep going. We make it to the cafeteria, and he shows up where he eats with his friends.

Then, we go upstairs and we see, via a window, his home room.

"Most of our classes are in the same room. Only a few are elsewhere, unlike public schools", he says

We quickly return to the sport's block, but I am more in a hurry, as I am afraid my parents will know we are gone.

Twice, I can hear them giggle behind me, but when I turn, they look innocent and pretend nothing is happening.

We sneak back into the control room and are happy to see that all three of our parents are still there.
