Prologue

Tuesday night

Ariel crept slowly through the darkness. Her flashlight illuminated Mrs. Theil’s desk. She carefully opened the drawer and searched through the contents. She photographed four A4 pages with her smartphone. Then she slipped out of the office and back into her bedroom.

Wednesday morning

Ariel wrote her English paper. Some of the other students had great difficulty with the very difficult work. Only Ariel didn’t seem to have any problems.

Friday morning

Mrs. Theil happily handed Ariel her English paper. As usual, she got an A - the only one in the class. Her friend, seatmate and roommate Laura, and her friends Sarah and Jenny congratulated her, all the other classmates envied her for it and despised her even more than usual.

Monday evening

Laura had told Ariel during the first break that she had a new DVD that she absolutely had to show her. Ariel had been looking forward to the evening all day because Laura kept getting pirated copies of the latest movies and liked to watch them with her roommate after dinner. They both went back to their room after dinner. Laura locked the door behind them and put a DVD in the DVD player, while Ariel sat down on her bed, excited with joy. Laura switched on the television. But instead of the latest blockbuster, Ariel saw herself on the screen. She saw in very high resolution and clearly visible to everyone how she stole the English work from Mrs. Theil’s office. In the same high quality, she now had to watch how she stole the work from the offices of Ms. Schuster (math), Ms. Gabler (chemistry) and Ms. Altmann (history) a few days earlier. Ariel turned pale.

Blackmail

In the small district town on the edge of the forest in Lower Franconia, the elite girls’ boarding school stood somewhat remotely on the outskirts of the town. The boarding school was known far beyond the borders of the state, and every girl who graduated from there could choose her future university and need not worry about her professional future. It employed only the best teachers, class sizes were limited to a maximum of 18 girls per class, and there were only two classes for each year group, from fifth to thirteenth grade. Despite the very strict admission requirements and the enormously high costs, waiting times were very long. The boarding school was divided into two almost independent areas, both in terms of space and teaching staff, with only the administration being shared between the two areas. The school and residential buildings, as well as the administration building for the higher classes (nine to thirteen), were located almost at the end of the street directly at the edge of the forest, while the school and residential buildings for the lower classes (five to eight) were located in the same street about 400 meters closer to the city center. In between was a large parking lot and the sports field, which both areas used.

The boarding school was very expensive and only really wealthy families could afford to send their daughters to this elite boarding school. It was the beginning of July and in exactly four weeks the big vacation would begin. The girls’ boarding school was slowly becoming quiet. Dinner was over and the girls were all in their rooms enjoying their free time until the lights had to be turned off at 11pm for bedtime.

In a room on the second floor, 16-year-old Laura, daughter of an extremely well-known celebrity lawyer and a famous director, remarked: “Now I understand why you are always the best in class and still have so much time for your many hobbies. You don’t have to study, you’re cheating!” Her best friend of the same age, Ariel, sat there as if transfixed. “Laura, please, please don’t tell on me. I’ll stop cheating right now, please!” she pleaded in a low voice. “Well, it’s probably a bit too late for that now!” replied Laura, grinning wickedly. “Laura, please, I’ll give you the work beforehand in future. Please,” Ariel begged her friend. However, she replied impassively: “Ha, do you really think I went to the trouble of exposing your cheating, secretly installing a camera in the teachers’ offices and filming you just so you’d give me the stupid school assignments? I could have got them myself. No, it’s going to be a lot more expensive for you. You’re not getting off that easy. And you’ll have to decide right now whether you want to be expelled from school or accept my terms. So, I have made several copies of this DVD. And I will send these copies to our teachers and your parents without batting an eyelid if you refuse to pay my price. And there is nothing you can do or say that will stop me. Understood so far?” “Laura, please, what’s wrong with you. You’re my friend. Why are you doing this to me?” Ariel sobbed. “You don’t give a shit, bitch, and it’s completely irrelevant now. What really matters is whether you’re willing to pay the price that will save your future in this school. And the price is damn high. Because if you want to stay at this school, you will do everything I ask of you from now on. EVERYTHING. No matter what I ask of you, when I ask it and where I ask it. You will do it immediately, without hesitation, questioning, etc. no matter how embarrassing, disgusting or painful it may be. And I can guarantee you, it will be embarrassing and disgusting and painful for you. If this price is too high for you and you don’t want to obey my wishes and orders, the DVDs will go on the trip. It’s your choice. And you have to make it right now! So, what’s your answer?” “But Laura, we’re friends. Please do...”, Ariel wanted to reply, but was quickly interrupted by Laura. “ Friends? Stop with this friends crap. Firstly, as a real friend you would have given me your stolen tests before, and secondly, I never wanted you bitch as my friend. I only accepted you because you got into our school with a great GPA. You don’t seriously think that a girl like you, a stuck-up bitch who thinks she’s better than me, could be a friend of mine? Certainly not! I have better taste than that. I actually only needed you to write you off. You’re too lowbrow and arrogant for me as a friend, and now that I know you’re not that clever and have to write yourself off, I can’t even use you for that anymore. But now that you’re living in a room with me, I’ve found a way for you to be useful to me after all. To be honest, I’ve been looking for a way to make you my personal slave since the day you came to this boarding school. And now I finally have the opportunity. And now for the last time: will you do everything I ask of you, will you become my slave from now on, or will you be expelled from boarding school?” Ariel sobbed quietly: “Please Laura, I will do what you want, but don’t give the DVDs to anyone else, please.” “Well, just so you really understand: if you refuse to do anything I ask of you from now on, you will either be punished or the DVDs will be sent away. You understand that right?” Ariel nodded, sobbing. “Well then, we can begin. So you’re going to start undressing right now! And I don’t want to hear any comments, no begging, nothing, just get undressed!” Laura ordered.

Ariel was a beautiful girl with long, black hair that reached halfway down her back, big, brown eyes with long eyelashes, a snub nose and full, red lips. She was 1.54 meters tall, had very well developed for her age, yet perfectly round, cute breasts a perfectly shaped figure with a flat stomach, wonderfully tight, round bottom, long, wonderfully shaped legs, small feet with perfect toes and when she laughed, cute dimples appeared on her cheeks. But at the moment Ariel couldn’t laugh, but tearfully took off her top, her skirt and her socks. She carefully laid them on her bed. After a nasty look from Laura, she pulled her bra off her shoulders and slipped her panties to the floor. She carefully stepped out of her panties, squatted down, picked them up and placed them and her bra on her bed with her other clothes. She now stood completely naked in front of her roommate Laura and held her hands in front of her bare chest and pubic area. The girl felt so awful, so terribly vulnerable. She had no idea that her life would change completely (and for the worst) at that moment. But she was simply not allowed to drop out of school.

Ariel came from a simple family whose parents worked in a pharmaceutical company. Her father, Josef, was in middle management and her mother, Rebecca, was a laboratory manager. They lived in a small town near the Alps and were a typical average family with the usual hardships and worries. Ariel had two brothers, Adam was 19 and had started an apprenticeship as a mechatronics engineer. Leon was almost 16 and went to the local secondary school. Her parents earned enough to feed their family and to treat themselves to a few extras, such as visits to theme parks and vacations. Ariel went to grammar school in the next larger town and finished ninth grade with an average grade of 1.0. Ariel’s parents suggested that their daughter take advantage of her great talent and go to the well-known elite boarding school in Lower Franconia. After talking to her class teacher and researching the boarding school on the internet, Ariel was determined to go there herself. This girls’ boarding school had a very good reputation for allowing students to choose their university and course of study once they had successfully completed their A-levels. Of course, she was aware that she would have to leave all her friends behind and her family, but she was a clever girl and wanted to make the most of this opportunity for her future. She was very popular in her class and, despite her extreme shyness and very underdeveloped self-confidence, had very good friends with whom she also did a lot outside of school. She took ballet lessons for years, went horse riding whenever she could afford it and simply had a good time with her friends Chantal, Theresa and Maria. But while her friends dressed more and more feminine and sexy as they got older, Ariel hid her beautiful body under unattractive clothes. She was embarrassed to see other people naked, or to show anyone naked herself. If her friends talked about sex, Ariel changed the subject with a red head or left the room. If it was sex education at school, she would sit at her desk with a bright red head and behave as inconspicuously as possible so as not to be called out. She also never used the communal shower after PE lessons, but showered at home in the locked bathroom after school. No one had seen her naked since she was six years old, not even her mother.

As it was now her greatest wish to go to this elite boarding school, she phoned to find out whether there was any possibility for her to attend. At the end of the year, a total of three students in the two 10th grades had to leave the boarding school, and there were no applicants for the vacant places, as it was actually unusual to change schools in the middle of the school year. So she went to the boarding school with her parents one weekend about six months ago and they had a look around. Her future class teacher, Mrs. Altmann, and the principal, Mrs. Dietl, were very nice, showed the family around, answered all their questions and after this visit Ariel was convinced that she wanted to go to this boarding school. So her parents worked out with her how they could afford it. Although it meant some cuts for the family (the little extras such as amusement park visits or vacations had to be cut back), her parents and even her brothers agreed and enrolled her at boarding school. So Ariel transferred from her grammar school to boarding school after the Christmas vacations. Her parents and brothers had to make sacrifices just so she could go to this boarding school. Ariel knew that. And that was why she couldn’t disappoint her parents, she couldn’t be kicked out of this boarding school. And that’s why she was now standing naked in front of her roommate with a bright red head and crying.

Due to her shyness, she had been terrified of her first day at school, despite her joy at being allowed to go to this school. That’s why she was so happy and grateful when Laura took care of her on the very first day of school after the Christmas vacations and even wanted to share her room with her. Two other girls in her class, Jenny and Sarah, gave her a warm welcome, so that these three girls became her friends and it was a little easier for her to separate from her old friends. However, the other girls in her class were very dismissive of her. She was not the typical student at this boarding school. Although she was friendly and nice to everyone, never went over the top and did what the teachers said, her other classmates usually gave her the cold shoulder. She was also by far the prettiest girl at the boarding school, so there was no second opinion on that point. But this was exactly what the spoiled, rich daughters from the upper class didn’t really like. They were jealous of her beauty. But this alone did not explain the open reserve that the rest of the class, with the exception of the three girls, showed towards her. But despite this open dislike, Ariel was able to integrate quickly into boarding school life, not least because of her friendship with Laura and the other girls. She would never become a friend to the other girls, but she was tolerated because of her friendship with Laura, Sarah and Jenny. The fact that there were ballet classes here and that she could attend them, and that she was immediately welcomed by two girls, Tiziana and Michelle, also helped her to settle in quickly. However, she did not lose her shyness at this boarding school either, and even in the room that she only shared with Laura, she always locked the bathroom door when she showered, changed or used the toilet.

For all students up to twelfth grade, there were only double rooms. Only the students in year 13 were allowed to stay in single rooms. All rooms were furnished to the same high standard. Two large, comfortable beds with luxurious slatted frames and mattresses. Each bed had a bedside cabinet. All rooms had a large wardrobe, a chest of drawers, two large desks with high-quality office chairs and a television. Each wall was painted a different color. Each room had its own spacious bathroom with a shower, bathtub, washbasin, somewhat outdated toilets and a small cupboard containing cleaning materials. The girls were required to keep their rooms clean and tidy themselves. Some rooms even had a small balcony. Of course, the boarding school charged extra for this luxury. But Laura’s family could afford it, and so Ariel was also able to enjoy her own balcony.

On the very first day, when Laura showed her new roommate around the room, including the bathroom, Ariel had explained to her how much she hated the idea of showing herself naked to other people. Laura was very understanding, even though, as Ariel soon found out, she was a very self-confident girl and had no problem undressing in front of other girls. Of course, this was especially true in her own room, which she shared with Ariel. Although Ariel was uncomfortable when Laura walked around naked or half-naked in their shared room, she tolerated it. But Ariel herself couldn’t do that. She was simply too shy and wouldn’t even leave the bathroom wearing just a towel. She always had something on; clothes or pyjamas. It also didn’t help her self-confidence that she “only” came from a simple background by the standards of this boarding school and was “only” the daughter of “ordinary” workers. And even if it wasn’t the main reason, because after all, several “ordinary” girls went to this boarding school, it was one of the reasons why most of the other snobbish boarders here didn’t like her. Their parents were almost exclusively company owners, board chairmen, stars or aristocrats. The fact that she always got the best grades, even though she changed schools in the middle of the school year and the syllabus at the boarding school was far more demanding, as well as being the most beautiful girl in the entire boarding school, caused even more envy and rejection among her classmates.
