Jon asked Zoe if it was cool with her if Karyn came with them that weekend to the strip club. "Sure," she said, nonchalantly. Jon could tell that she was trying not to act excited about going to the club.
Jon called Karyn up. "Hey, Karyn," he said. "Zoe and I are going to the strip club this weekend. Did you want to come with us?"
"What, did you forget?" asked Karyn. "Its amature night. I'm trying out, remember? You promised to come see me. You could have told me Zoe was coming, though. You know how much I get flustered when she watches me practice. For some reason, I'm fine stripping in front of guys, even if I know them. I know I've practiced for you often enough. But I always seem to have problems stripping in front of girls I know. I just get nervous."
Jon was stunned. Karyn, doing amature striptease? After a few seconds, he said, "Don't you undress in front of the girls in the locker room at school?"
"Yes," she answered. "But this just feels different. I guess I feel like I'm being judged, like they're assessing how hot I am or how good my technique is."
"I'm sure you'll do fine," said Jon. "You have a great body, Karyn. You shouldn't feel ashamed for showing it off. And any girl that thinks less of you for your body or technique isn't someone who's opinion should matter to you anyways."
"Thanks, Jon," said Karyn. "I can alway count on you to make me feel better. So, see you this Saturday?"
"Sure thing," said Jon. Karyn hung up the phone, leaving Jon to wonder how he was going to react to seeing his best friend strip in front of himself and his sister.
