With a nervous knot of anticipation in the pit of her stomach, Mandy studied the map of the college for about the tenth time that day. She didn't remember the last time she'd been so worried.
She had arrived at the college the previous night, accompanied by her mother and stepfather. Her stepfather had taken care of everything for her, making sure that her registration and orientation would go smoothly. Although Mandy wasn't particularly fond of him, she had to admit that he had been really great about helping her plan her future. Not only was he providing the money for her to go to college, he was also showing a tremendous interest in her well being and future success. He'd pulled some strings and had arranged for her to have her own private dorm room, which was a privilege usually reserved for the third and fourth year students.
It was nice that her stepfather had done all of this for her, although he had become somewhat overbearing. In fact, he had taken it upon himself to set up Mandy's timetable, choosing which classes she would take for her. Mandy hadn't found out for herself which classes she was enrolled in until the night before classes started, at her registration session!
And she hadn't been overly pleased, either. She had been placed in some of the mandatory classes, such as those pertaining to languages and the social sciences, which was fine by her. However, as her elective classes, Mandy's stepfather had chosen Physical Education, Cosmetology, and Health & Wellness 101. Mandy was the most annoyed that she had been enrolled in Physical Education, as she was not very athletic and had despised it in high school, always feeling self-conscious and clumsy.
This morning she had attended English class without incident, and from there had gone to Health & Wellness 101, which surprised her a bit, to say the least. The professor was a rather young, attractive-looking young man, while every student in the room was female. Mandy had taken health classes before in high school, but they mainly focused on things like menstruation and promoting abstinence. This class was different though. Upon reading the outline for the semester, she found that while it dealt extensively with STDs and safe sex, the majority of the course was based on sex itself. There was to be a chapter on the female orgasm, one on female masturbation, and another entitled "Society's Taboos & Sex," the subject of which Mandy was somewhat afraid to even think about! It wasn't that she wasn't curious about that sort of thing, because she was. It was just that she felt uncomfortable about discussing issues like that in a classroom full of her peers, not to mention in front of a really good looking, young male professor. She supposed this college must be much more liberal-minded than her small town high school had been.
After lunch, Mandy was to report to the enormous gymnasium for her first Physical Education class. That's where she was headed now, already dreading having to change in front of the other girls in the locker room - she couldn't help but notice that most of the girls she went to school with were all drop dead gorgeous with athletic, tight bodies, great tans, large breasts, and perfectly styled hair. It made her feel that more self conscious of her curvy body and creamy skin.
Well, here she was. Taking a deep breath, Mandy steeled herself, then pushed open the doors to the gymnasium and stepped inside. Surprisingly, there were no other students in there. Instead, there were two men clad in sweatpants and baseball caps. They looked like the stereotypical coach - one even had a whistle around his neck and carried a clipboard.
Nervously, Mandy approached him. He watched her as she walked up to him, making her feel even more nervous.
"Afternoon, Mandy," he said indifferently, his eyes still not leaving her body. "I'm Coach Richards, and this is Coach Hudson." She was surprised that he knew her name, and, seeing her surprise, he explained himself. "We're going to work together one-on-one today." Checking the chart on his clipboard briefly, he continued, "Dr. Browne, while confident that you are in good health, felt it best that we start you off slowly on our physical fitness program and allow you to progress at your own rate, as you are not as physically fit as some of our more advanced students."
Mandy cringed just at hearing the doctor's name, remembering the mortifyingly humiliating physical examination he had forced her to endure. Then, when what Coach Richards was saying to her sunk in, she began to blush. What was worse was that he noticed this.
"You've no reason to be embarrassed, Mandy," he said kindly. "Not everyone is naturally athletic - it's okay. What Coach Hudson and I want to do is help you to become more physically fit. Not only will you become healthier physically, but you will also feel better about yourself, we are sure. We will closely supervise your progress and make sure that you see results. Now, how about you head over to the locker room, and put on your gym uniform. Oh, and it is important that you wear only what has been laid out for you in the locker room, okay? School regulations, you know."
Nodding that she understood, Mandy headed off to the locker room to change. She found the outfit that had been laid out for her. It consisted of gym shorts, a t-shirt, running shoes, socks, and a red thong. She couldn't imagine why the school would even assign underwear - and a red thong, at that - but did not want to start off on the wrong foot with the coaches; she had always been intimidated by people in positions of power - especially when those people had the authority to make or break her grade in Physical Education 101! So, Mandy removed all of her clothing and put on the "uniform" that had been assigned.
