It was my birthday and I was all alone.

I was standing just a few feet away from the lake, water gently lapping at my toes as I clenched and unclenched my toes, absorbing the feeling of the mud against my skin. A warm breeze blew. I stood on a small plain of mud, hidden from the outside world by a dense crescent of trees.

My sixteenth year was quite challenging and demanding. I had just gone through the second severe spell of skin disorder; was absent from school for more than a month and then resumed the school with special permission for attending the school wearing sheer medicated muslin white cotton dress. Due to the ultra-sensitivity of my skin, I could not wear any pantie and bra. My girly developments were completely visible for all to see through the sheer dress. Girls used to look at me and giggle while staring at my erect nipples and budding areola; some would point a finger at clearly visible pussy hair and pass rude comments. Boys would openly stare to get a clear view of my developing nipples and breasts and pussy hair; some naughty boys would dare to ask me if I would show them my pussy hair.

Many times I felt as if I were the main center of attraction for all boys and girls and at times felt humiliated when someone played pranks with me by throwing water on me which made the sheer cotton becoming part of my skin and I stood there like I was completely naked in full view of all to see. I came through all this with humiliation though eventually, I liked being stared at my naked body.

I believe I had already a hidden liking towards nude exhibitionism, but the happening of many small events while wearing complete sheer soft medicated cotton dress exposing my girly developments took my mind and imaginations much higher levels. I had been planning to celebrate my birthday in a unique exhibitionist style.

Though this was totally different; my mom had to move to Milan after making my living arrangements with Andrea. I and Andrea are friends for years in school. A day before Andrea had gone to visit her parents and no one even wished me my happy birthday. It felt so alone and lonely.

After having late breakfast and some reading I left the room late in the afternoon just for a little walk. I did not have any intentions to go much further so I was just wearing flip-flop slippers and loose boys short and a cut-off top. Somehow I continued walking and here I was at the other end of the town at this lake in the forest. My room was almost five miles away from here at about four in the afternoon.

My body was full of sweat and the cool breeze was feeling very pleasant. The ticklish feeling of water under the feet developed a sudden strong urge to have a quick swim in the lake. Am I going to swim naked? I wondered!! I quietly pulled off my top and short and placed them neatly on the thick roots of a nearby tree. Breathing deeply, my arms clasped to my body, I was trying to psyche myself up. I stood completely naked in the wonderful open forest wearing nothing.

I took yet another look around checking if someone was watching me. The water was calm. The air was silent. Not even a shadow stirred in the hot humid afternoon. The center of the lake was clearly visible at a distance. Slowly, timidly, I pulled my arm away from my breasts and my hand away from my pussy, until finally, I stood completely exposed. I let out a deep sigh.

It felt…freeing.

I took my first tentative step into the lake, my grin beaming. I was really doing it! I was really going to swim naked. I had tentatively made up in my mind to swim along the shore up to the opposite side of the lake and then swim back. The water enveloped me as I waded deeper and deeper into the lake. Cool, wet pressure surrounded me, almost caressing me. I gasped quietly as the water reached my pussy, a sudden icy surprise, but I continued onward.

I was amazed at my own bravery. I hadn’t been sure I would really have the courage to try this naked swimming for that long-distance and time. I liked to be naked but was always scared of getting caught. Here I was, naked as a jaybird, skinny dipping! I giggled loudly. This had been such a sudden decision! I had been planning something like this for weeks, canceling and rescheduling over and over as fear of getting caught ebbed and flowed. This was really sudden and unexpected. Andrea would be surprised if she found out about me swimming naked in the lake at the other end of the town.

My toes left the lakebed as I pushed myself off into the water and began to lazily swim towards the center of the lake. From here, I could just barely recognize the tree where I left my clothes. The birds gliding lazily in the skies waved me their message of “congratulations” and “happy naked birthday”.

I felt so free, so comfortable, so natural and primal and just so…right! I couldn’t believe I was scared of nothing for so long! I had never felt so good swimming before! The water against my bare skin was heavenly, invigorating! My spirits soared as I paddled across the cold water, giggling ecstatically at these new sensations. I was absolutely giddy, reveling in this novel experience.

I lay on my back and watched the bright noon sky, moving only enough to keep myself buoyant. I was completely alone. Only the quiet buzzing of dragonflies broke the otherwise total silence. The water of the lake held me with the gentleness of a tender lover boy. I was completely at peace. Maybe this birthday was still salvageable, even if everyone had apparently forgotten about it entirely.

Eventually, I felt satiated. The water was amazing, but nevertheless, I had a warm bed waiting for me in my room. I slowly swam towards the shore and waded into the small grove. I must have been swimming lazily for more than eighty minutes and now was standing in the forest completely naked to be seen by animals and trees. I laid myself on the grass looking at the sky. Some birds were eating something from the grass a few feet away from me. It was a great feeling that they felt safe in my naked presence and continued their peaking. I closed my eyes and let my body relax in the soothing warm rays of the sun. Un knowingly I had my legs spread wide open and hands spread like an eagle.

After a while, I got up and started swimming back. Return swimming was quite quick. The sun was almost setting now; I wanted to quickly grab my clothes and walk back to my room. I stepped forward in the direction where I had left my clothes. My nipples hardened once I left the water behind. Goosebumps erupted all over my skin as I skipped to shore, still giddy from my naked swim.

I walked over to where I had left my clothes and stopped. I looked around. I double-checked that I had the right tree. Where are they? Where are my clothes?!

Alright! Alright, it’s not a bright afternoon, maybe I just missed them. I’m going to close my eyes, and take a deep breath, and count to three, and they’ll be right here. One…two…three… And…?! Darn it! Darn, dang, gosh, golly, damn! Where are the clothes?!

I was hyperventilating. I clenched my fists rhythmically and focused on my breathing, trying to calm myself down. Maybe I just came out of the wrong part of the lake… Yeah, that must be it! I had gotten mixed up while swimming and came out someplace new. But if I wanted to go search for my clothes, I may come across someone walking around. It is still going to be daylight for some time…

I cursed into the approaching evening.

I peeked out from behind the trees. I was still alone, so far as I could tell. Huddled over, futilely trying to cover my breasts and pussy from any potential voyeurs, I waddled along the shoreline, studying the tree line for any hint of my clothes. Nothing…nothing…nothing…shit!

My clothes were gone. Just…gone.

What was I going to do now? I couldn’t stay here. Besides, I had to go back to my room for the night; I can not spend a night outside naked. Why someone should pick up my clothes?

Suddenly, a terrible thought struck me.

What if whoever had taken my clothes had been watching me? What if they were still here? Then again, they might not have seen me in the water. Besides, they’d have to be nearby to see me, and I couldn’t see or hear anything. I covered my body reflexively. Standing as still as possible, I surveyed the area around me, but I couldn’t notice anyone. Why had they taken it, then? Just for laughs? Just to see what would happen? Maybe they had just really needed some clothes and had thought that mine was abandoned…

Whatever, it didn’t matter now. I just had to get to my room.
