Kristen got a tiny purse from the closet in the bedroom and the two of us left the playroom.
At the driveway, there was an off-duty police officer. He whistled as he saw Kristen. “Cleopatra. I know I didn’t see you before.” He whistled appreciatively.
“I’m Kristen Swift,” Kristen said. “I live here.”
“Oh, my! I didn’t recognize you in your outfit! I’m sorry!”
“No need to apologize,” Kristen smiled. “Where’s your partner?”
“He left a minute ago to the main house. Call of nature.”
Kristen pulled out an envelope and handed it to the officer. “I’ve added a hundred dollar bonus.”
The man took the envelope and didn’t look inside. “Thank you very much, Miss Swift.”
“Kristen,” my girlfriend corrected.
“Thank you, Kristen.”
The police officer’s partner joined us a moment later. Kristen introduced herself and handed him another envelope. They waved good-bye as they left to go home.
Chapter 6—Initiation
Camille picked me up at ten the next morning.
When I got into the car, I saw that Sherry was already there. She was blushing furiously, mostly in anticipation of the initiation that would happen in just a little while. Unlike Camille, who was dressed in her uniform, Sherry was in her street clothes; her uniform was folded next to her in the car.
At the school, the entire cheerleading squad was present, all of them in uniform except Jackie, Camille’s cousin. Jackie was standing next to the same boy she brought to the costume party the previous night. She gave me a nervous smile as she saw me.
Lynette Robbins, who was the head cheerleader, decided to get things rolling. “All right, we have two initiates for today’s ceremony. Since Camille Lombardi and I sponsored them both, we need somebody to share some of the work with Camille. Camille? Who would you like to pick?”
Camille nodded and said, “I’d normally choose you, Lynette, but as head cheerleader, I know that you have other duties. Both June Rodgers and Maria Wilson know Jackie, so I will allow my cousin to decide between them.”
June Rodgers was one of the smaller cheerleaders. I remembered that she was a junior, and she was also one of two black cheerleaders on the squad. Maria Wilson was a senior with blonde hair.
Jackie looked at her cousin. “Maria,” she said, quietly.
When she heard her name, Maria stepped out from the group of cheerleaders.
Lynette watched this, and then said, “Maria, do you wish to sponsor Jackie for our initiation?”
Maria nodded. “Jackie was very good at the tryouts this time. I’d be proud to sponsor her for Camille.”
Lynette nodded. “Do you sponsor Sherry, Camille?”
Camille smiled. “I’m quite proud to sponsor Sherry.”
Lynette announced, “All right, ladies, we have our two initiates, who have kindly brought their boyfriends. We also now have two sponsors. The sponsors will now make their presentations. Camille?”
Camille said, “I sponsor Sherry Jordon, who has brought her friend, Jim Crittenhouse, to help out today. Sherry is a sophomore, but her gymnastics abilities have allowed her to achieve a perfect score during the qualifications.”
There was a round of applause as Sherry blushed. I applauded as well.
Camille continued. “I am pleased to offer my sponsorship to Sherry.”
Lynette said, “Thank you, Camille. Do I hear any objections to having Sherry join our squad and undergo the initiation?”
Silence answered Lynette’s question.
“Very well, Camille. Take the two of them and have them stand over there.” Lynette pointed to the curb of a sidewalk leading to one of the side doors to the school. “Maria, you’re next.”
Maria was a bit nervous as she said, “I sponsor Jackie Lombardi, cousin to our own Camille, who has brought her friend Danny…” Maria paused. “Shit! I forgot your last name, Danny.”
“It’s Strong,” the boy answered.
“Sorry,” Maria said, turning red. “Jackie has brought Danny Strong. Jackie is a junior, and scored a nine out of ten in the tryouts. She’s Camille’s cousin, but I can assure everybody that she truly earned her way onto the squad. I happily sponsor Jackie for the squad.”
Lynette smiled. “Thank you, Maria. Do I hear any objections to having Jackie join our squad and go though the initiation?”
Once again, there was silence.
“Very well,” Lynette said. “Maria, you may take those two over to the curb with Camille and the others.”
Maria took her two charges to meet us at the curb.
Lynette called out, “Camille, Maria. You know what you need to do. We’ll be along in about five minutes.”
Camille nodded and ushered Sherry and me into the door of the school. She led us toward the gymnasium, and stopped at the boys’ locker room.
Without hesitation, Camille opened the boys’ locker room and Maria urged us from behind to enter. The two younger girls seemed hesitant, but Maria was insistent.
Once inside, Camille led Sherry and me to a row of lockers and made us sit down on a bench. She whispered, “All right, you can ask questions now, but keep your voices down.”
“Why are we in the boys’ locker room?” Sherry immediately asked.
Camille smiled. “When we first started initiations, I think we did this part in the girls’ locker room, but we quickly switched to the boys’ room instead. We didn’t want boys to get the idea that they are welcome in our locker room!”
“What happens now?” I asked.
Camille grinned. “Jim will dress you in your cheerleader outfit. First, he’ll completely undress you. I’m here to make sure you both follow the rules. Next, he’ll put your outfit on you. So, Sherry will only be nude with Jim and me.”
“You mean…?” Sherry asked, blushing.
“Yup,” Camille said. “And time is of the essence. Lynette said five minutes, and she’ll give you more like ten, but don’t hesitate too much.”
“What happens afterward?” I asked.
Camille continued grinning. “Jim will like this part. Each of the cheerleaders will come over and kiss Jim and Danny. Some of the girls may get hot and heavy with this, but this shouldn’t bother Sherry, since you two aren’t really dating. After the boys are kissed, the girls will kiss Sherry and Jackie, and most of them won’t be as sexy as they will get with the boys.”
I shrugged. I figured that there were worse things that could happen. “That’s it?”
“There will be a bit more formality, actually. Nothing else. Once it’s over, Sherry and Jackie can get their clothes and leave. We then initiate the seniors.”
“What do you do with the seniors?” Sherry asked.
“You’ll find out some other time,” Camille answered cryptically. “Now, Jim, it’s time you two got started.”
I took a deep breath and looked at Sherry. She shrugged, and I started to unbutton her blouse. I played dress-up with Kristen many times before (it was getting to be one of our favorite pastimes), and tried not to gawk at Sherry.
Still, I could see that Sherry was quite embarrassed. I ignored her and quickly removed her bra and then started working on her slacks. I pulled down Sherry’s slacks and panties in a single movement, then pulled her shoes off and her legs out of the foot holes.
