Nemesis: Chapter 30

Sophie paused telling her story and went to get a glass of water. Bella nudged up to Mia and asked her "Do you notice any of the faces in the assembly crowd?" "I'm not sure" Mia replied honestly. Bella rewound the video clip and paused it as it did a panorama of the crowd. "Look at the back, you can just see Ava over by the window. She was in year eleven then and was just a disinterested bystander to this story. "Oh yes, I see her, she looks like she's sulking" replied Mia. "There's Sophie in the purple top and standing beside her are Molly and Tiffany. I take it that you haven't met them yet, but it's nice to finally put names to faces." "Is Alex in the audience?" Mia asked. "Oh yes, with the black pigtails, you can see that she is visibly excited by the prospect of gunge even then, you can hear her cheering as Claire got gunged." Mia suddenly went quiet as she spotted Alice and Carly sitting amongst a group of year elevens. "I hate those two" she snarled point at them. "Who?" Bella replied, clearly unaware of who she was talking about. "Oh nothing", Mia lied trying to change the subject. "Oh look" squealed Bella "there's Taylor, she looks so young, she must be in year nine then. Taylor was in Anna's form group and was the archetypal teacher's pet. She was devoted to her form tutor and would do anything to help Anna beat Pippa, as you will soon come to find out. Still she's very pretty, don't you think?" Mia had to admit that she was, Bella was right, it was good to put names to faces, even if everyone was now much older than they were then.

Sophie returned from the kitchen and loaded the next video. Like before, the third video required some prior background explanation. "The amount of money raised for each teacher to be gunged was announced and updated at the end of every day. As expected, Pippa took an early lead. Nearly all the boys pledged money for her. To combat this, Pippa dressed in dour grey clothes whilst Anna kept skipping around in her skimpy sports kit. To Pippa's relief, many girls seemed to want to gunge Anna as retaliation for all the sport she forced them to do in the rain. Nevertheless, after the first three days Anna still trailed Pippa by over fifty pounds. One of the year nine students, Bryan Baker was the son of the manager of the local chocolate factory. Short, he wouldn't grow an inch above five foot six, plump with greasy blonde hair, had little going for him other than his father's professional success. Nevertheless, he was thus loaded and had a huge crush on Pippa. A fifty-pound donation gave Pippa a lead of over one hundred and twenty ponds with three days to go.

That evening, Anna taunted her housemate as she got ready for a night out. Pippa was trying to choose an outfit for Friday that she didn't mind getting ruined by gunge. Mr Hawkins had finally asked Anna out for a date and she was determined to rub this in Pippa's face for teasing her about her unrequited crush for the previous six months. The two girls were very close and regularly barged into each other's bedrooms without knocking. It was Anna's turn to do so that night. Dressed in just her lace lingerie she charged in on Pippa as she was sorting through her tights draw to ask her which bra she thought she should wear on her date. "Should it be this one" Anna asked, pointing to her chest, "or this one" added the brunette as she held a second bra up to her breasts. Pippa put down a pair of tights and saddled up to her friend. "To be honest, I don't like either of them" she exclaimed as she put her arm round the brunette's shoulders. "I think that you should do without." With that, Pippa unhooked Anna's bra and flung it to the floor. "Hey" giggled the topless Anna as she turned to look at her prankster housemate. "It's not a bad idea actually." "Why thank you Anna, but do you know what would be even better? You should go commando." Pippa took hold of Anna's knickers and wrenched them down her legs. Anna was now standing naked in front of her housemate and blushed as she tried to wrestle her knickers off her blonde friend. The two friends tussled on Pippa's bed with the blonde pushing down on Anna's chest. "Goodness I thought you were going to kiss me for a moment" panted a breathless, naked, Anna as Pippa rolled off her stomach. "You really do miss Craig when he's away don't you? It's a shame that he's not going to be there to see you gunged." Anna hugged her housemate, pushing her exposed breasts against Pippa's chest. Pippa responded by slowly running her fingers down the small of Anna's back before tickling her on the tip of her bum. Ever so squeamish, Anna began to giggle and wiggled her body in a bid to get free from Pippa's grasp. "Cheeky" Anna drawled as she finally wrestled herself free. She then slipped on her knickers, leaving her bras behind and headed out for her date. After her housemates' latest escapade, she couldn't wait to gain her messy revenge.

Anna's date with Gavin went rather well. He invited her back to his house where she stayed the night. Pippa had to bring in clothes for Anna to wear on the next day at school. But Pippa would only give her the clothes if Anna paid thirty pounds into her own gunge fund. Gavin, having enjoyed his evening with Anna so much decided to show his affection for her by putting in forty pounds of his own onto the brunette's total. Camille, upset at Anna for getting to Gavin first, also put ten pounds on Anna's account. By the end of day five, Pippa's lead was down to only thirty pounds.

On the Thursday, Alex put ten pounds on Pippa to be gunged, as a blossoming lesbian, the raven-haired girl started to harbour a serious crush on her maths teacher. Taylor, eager to help her form tutor, put twenty pounds on Pippa's total. Oliver, a blonde boy in year nine put fifteen pounds on Pippa's total in order to try and impress Taylor. But his efforts to win favour with the brunette went as of yet unrequited. Despite all these donations for Pippa, a late flurry of donations by the mischievous netball team wanting their revenge on their teacher reduced Pippa's lead to just twenty pounds. Lauren was starting to panic, she had vowed revenge on Anna but was absolutely skint. She couldn't afford to sponsor Anna and all of her efforts to offer to do the boy's English essays for them if they sponsored the PE teacher went unanswered, they wanted to see the pretty blonde gunged instead. The rain beat down as she cut through the woods on the way home. Accidentally stepping in a puddle Lauren suddenly had an idea. She couldn't sway the result of the gunge vote, but she could do something else.

Throughout Friday morning, the result of the vote was too close to call. Pippa remained in the lead but only just. At lunchtime, the two teachers went to get changed. Anna changed into a low cut, figure hugging sleeveless blue netball top and short skirt as she was going to be coaching the netball team after lunch, whilst the more circumspect Pippa changed into a pair of old jeans and yellow t-shirt, that she didn't mind getting messy. At the end of the day, the whole school came together for a specially arranged assembly. The gunge tank was on full display at the front. Taylor, who was all packed and ready to go on the French exchange wished her favourite teacher good luck. Anna thanked her whilst trying to avoid eye contact with Lauren who she had tried to avoid for the past two weeks.

Mr Wainwright ushered the two teachers to the front. He motioned for the school to fall silent and began to read out the result. "Five minutes ago, Miss Young's total was £454 and Miss Lucey's was £452, giving Miss Young a lead of two pounds." Anna tried to stop herself jumping for joy, whilst Pippa smiled in embarrassment. "But" he added, since then a year nine student has tried to place a last-minute donation." Anna suddenly fell silent and Pippa's eyes filled with hope. "Not long after this student paid this donation, Mr Hawkins noticed that the student had given him a five euro note by mistake." Taylor suddenly turned red, her whole year group looked round at her and Anna caught her eye. Taylor was going on the year Nine French exchange trip straight away at the end of school and had handed in some of her Euros spending money, upon learning that the vote was too close to call, by mistake. But presumably even if they disqualified her donation, she clearly would have voted for Pippa and Pippa was already in the lead. Anna shook her head laughing and breathed a sigh of relief. Pippa suddenly realised what was going on and gulped.

"Now, I'm perfectly happy to accept Euros as well as pounds so I added the five euros to Miss Young's total. The crowd began to cheer, the blonde English teacher had lost. But still, Mr Wainwright hushed them and continued. Feeling suspicious, Mr Hawkins looked back through Miss Young's donations and found that a student had also put in a twenty euro note into her box yesterday as well." Taylor put her face in her hands, for that had been her as well. How could she be so stupid?

"So, Mr Hawkins took aside the twenty-five euros and recalculated the exchange rate. Twenty-five euros is equivalent to £17.59 meaning that Miss Young's final total is in fact £451.59. So, guys and girls, you have voted for Miss Lucey to receive the gunge by a grand total of 41p!" Pippa jumped for joy, despite all the odds she had beaten her housemate. The boys in the crowd were disappointed, but hey Anna was still very attractive and she was wearing a very low skirt indeed. Pippa pushed her housemate into the gunge tank and waved to the crowd. Anna shot Taylor a horrified look and then squirmed as she saw Gavin laugh as he waved the twenty euro note at her from afar.

Anna looked up at the top of the gunge tank, it was full of bright green slime. Mr Wainwright counted down from five, with the whole school joining in, "Five, four three, two, one." Pippa pulled the lever and gallons of green gunge rained down on the squirming brunette. The gunge was thicker than that used on Claire and so stuck to her hair and slowly rolled down her cheeks. After twenty-five seconds the green gunge finally stopped. The whole school was laughing at her. Anna wiped her face and glanced cheekily at Pippa. Sixth formers Kenny and Kyle reloaded the tank with red gunge. Anna tried to escape the tank but found that it was locked. Pippa pulled the lever again, the red slime cascaded down on the pretty twenty-one-year-old. The gunge seeped through her top and collected around her bra. Gunge soaked into her knickers and squelched as she got up when Pippa released her from the tank.

Anna went to hug her best friend and wipe the green and red slime all over her. But before she could, her netball team surrounded her and each of them pelted her with a cream pie. Her face hair and chest were covered, how would she ever live this down? Mr Wainwright began to speak to the crowd once again. "Now wasn't that amazing everybody?" he shouted. "Doesn't Miss Lucey look a mess? But one final thing, one of our victims from last week, Lauren Hollis, if you recall, has prepared an extra special treat for our loser today. As you may be aware, the weather hasn't been particularly great of late and the field outside has been unfortunately quite muddy." With that he signalled for two members of the rugby team to arrive on stage carrying two large vats of thick mud which they proceeded to pour over the unfortunate Anna. Lauren had gained her revenge in the best way that she knew how. Mud ran down Anna's top and over her chest and collected in her knickers. She slicked back her hair and wiped the mud from her face just in time for one final pie from Pippa.

The whole school then turned to look at a commotion happening amongst the year nines. Bryan Baker wasn't happy that he had donated fifty pounds and yet had still lost. He and a couple of his mates felt cheated; Pippa should have lost not Anna. "It's all your fault" moaned grumbled a blonde boy at Taylor. "Yeah, you wasted my money" complained another. "Sir, is there any gunge left?" asked Bryan. "A few buckets" replied Mr Hawkins who had hidden the buckets in order to go easy on poor Anna. "Can we use them?" asked the blonde boy again. "Rules are rules lads; Miss Young has to stay clean" Mr Hawkins replied ruefully. "No not on Miss Young, but on Taylor!" Mr Hawkins nodded; the student was a little miss know it all after all. Two of Taylor's friends, both blondes, called Ariah and Yasmin, dragged her to the front. The best of friends, both blondes, Yasmin often copied Ariah's fashion and hairstyles, making the two at times almost impossible to tell apart. If it wasn't for the act that at five foot five, Ariah was two inches taller than Yasmin, even Taylor may have had difficulty distinguishing between the two.

Suddenly, Anna leapt to her student's defence. "You can't gunge Taylor, she was just trying to help. If you all wanted Miss Young to be gunged, you should have donated more money yourselves." Ariah looked guiltily at the floor allowing Taylor to escape her grip. "But if you are looking for a scapegoat", Anna continued, "then you ought to blame the person who organised the French exchange trip in the first place. If you all feel the need to slime someone else then I'm sure that Miss Dumont would soon oblige." Ever since Anna had gone on her date with Gavin, Camille had thrown her dirty looks and made snide comments about her behind her back. This was the perfect time for her revenge.

Camille's form group converged on her and it all happened so quickly that she didn't have time to object. Anna's rival was locked into the tank and before she knew it she was obliterated by orange slime. The gunge ran down her top and over her bare legs. She spat out some gunge that she had almost swallowed. It was cold, sticky and disgusting. Lauren told her to look up and naively she did as she was told. Purple gunge cascaded down on her face and coated he hair. Her white blouse was now see-through, how she regretted wearing a black bra this morning.

Lauren began to taunt Camille as she sat wearily in the tank, only for Scarlett and Isabel to engulf the pretty teenager's head in a slimy pie sandwich. Unable to see, Lauren was next subjected to a vat of mud that Kyle tipped all over her. Her secret weapon had been used against her, it was so humiliating. Her legs and arms were coated with brown sludge, she smelt terrible and the whole school were laughing at her. Anna approached her from behind and tipped a bucket of yellow gunge over her. The slime dripped down her face and into her top. The teenager patted down her blouse only for slime and mud to come shooting out and hit her in the chin. Anna almost felt sorry for the girl, but then she remembered that she had conspired to get her gunged.

Camille then called out "Anna", causing the intrigued brunette to turn around. Suddenly, she was hit by a large chocolate gateau, which obliterated and stuck to her pretty face. Momentarily stunned, she didn't notice the gunge tank door swing open. Camille grabbed her and the sixth formers helped shove her inside. Now sitting on the French teacher's lap, she bore the brunt of deluge after deluge as litres of cold water rained down on the pair. Anna screamed as the water hit her square in the face. Camille leaned out of the way so that she only received a splattering. Nonetheless, she was able to wipe herself clean. Anna's clothes were now absolutely soaked and uncomfortably clung to her skin. The two teachers embraced as everyone took pictures and videos of the pair in their messy state. Once they were almost clean, Lauren was coerced into replacing them in the tank and receive a dousing of her own. The teenager scowled as the water soaked her to the skin, she really hated Miss Lucey.

Laughing, the crowd began to disperse and go home. Kenny's younger brother Jack had of course caught all of this on camera, which is the version of the event that we are seeing now. But there's more. Not wanting to get her car dirty, Anna gladly accepted a lift home from Gavin in his brother's van. Having borrowed it for the day, it was almost as if he had been expecting her to lose. As soon as she got home Anna peeled off her clothes and headed straight to the bath. Anna stepped into the basin and soaked herself clean. Letting herself sink into the warm water she plunged her head under the surface and when rising shook her hair clean. After ten minutes Anna realised that she was bathing in her own muck so emptied the bath and remained sitting there as the water slowly drained away. Just then, Pippa came bursting into the bathroom, which for some reason had never had a lock. "Hiya Anna" she chirruped. "Just came to see how you are. Got all the gunge out of your hair yet? Hey, you do know that you're supposed to put water in the bath too right?" With the water almost completely emptied from the bath, Anna was sitting completely in the nude in full view of her housemate. "I'm just grand thanks" Anna replied ironically. Anna moved to cover herself but Pippa replied "No need to go all modest on me now love, I've seen it all before. You look ravishing as always. Anyway, I'm guessing that you will be all out for revenge, that's two great gungings you've received and I'm still bone dry. Hardly seems fair does it?" "You bet I want my revenge" cooed Anna, "How about this time next Comic Relief, me and you go head to head again?" "Deal" replied Pippa before moving in to shake Anna's hand.

"Wow your breasts look awesome, did Gavin appreciate my advice for you to go braless the other night?" "He sure did" giggled Anna. Pippa moved behind the bath and continued to chat to her friend. "It was a pretty cool idea of Lauren's to gunge you with those buckets of mud wasn't it?" She teased the brunette. "I thought that it was the highlight of the whole event. It's a good job then that Lauren gave me some spare buckets to take home with me." Anna didn't even have enough time to look round before Pippa upturned a whole bucket of mud over her naked body. As Anna screamed, Pippa aimed a second bucket at her chest and crotch, "I wonder whether Gavin prefers your boobs covered in mud?" The mud coated her breasts and ran down over her flat stomach. Anna suddenly noticed that her nipples were erect and blushed when Pippa came to the same realisation.

Anna had been right royally humiliated for a third time. Plus, not for the first occasion, Pippa had caught her naked and unaware. She would have two years to plot her revenge on Pippa before the next Red Nose day and she was going to make every second count. In the meantime, Pippa aimed the shower head at Anna's face and began to wash her friend clean. The water smashed into her face from point blank range and went right up her nose. Anna sneeze causing her chest to heave. "Poor silly Anna" Pippa teased. She loved playing practical jokes on her best friend, she was so pretty and such an easy target. But she would have to be on her guard, she didn't know what tricks Anna might pull in return, because golly, didn't she deserve her comeuppance!"

Mia gasped as Sophie finished telling her story. "How do you know that the last bit is true?" "Well I know that Lauren gave the buckets to Pippa and Anna's brother really is quite a blabbermouth when he is drunk and Pippa has the habit of trying to embarrass her best friend by telling her brother everything." "Wow, Anna really got it good. I dearly hope that she got her revenge on Pippa in two years' time."
