Museum Naughtiness

I’d met Nell at the freshman mixer a couple of weeks ago, and we had been hanging out, but much as I wouldn’t have minded, we weren’t exactly boyfriend-girlfriend. We hadn’t even kissed. Both of us were kind of shy. Not Cara, Nell’s roommate, who had a part-time job in the college art museum. She told us she could get us in for free. This was sort of a joke since the museum didn’t charge admission.
We met Cara at the museum just before closing. “There’s some really cool stuff,” Cara told us. “This one statue of a dancing girl is kind of hot.”
The gallery with the dancing girl was almost empty, just one other visitor, a girl who by chance or design was wearing a short black skirt much like the one worn by the girl in the sculpture.
The girl left while the three of us were appreciating the sculpture of the dancing girl. “Nice, huh?” Cara said.
I joked, “You’d think she’d get tired standing like that.”
“Very funny,” Cara said. “But it’s not that hard. Nell could stand like that all day.” Nell and Cara had been in the same high school, so presumably Cara has inside knowledge.
“I don’t think,” Nell started to say, but Cara interrupted. “Go on Nell, show him.”
Nell shrugged, then mimicked the statue’s pose.
Cara smiled at me with what-did-I-tell-you eyes.
