5.1) Early October (Student ID Photograph)

Mackenzie pushed open the door to the Campus Service Center and enjoyed the feeling the relief of the warm air flowing over her. It wasn't quite cold outside yet, but the cool fall air definitely signified that things were trending that way.

It was the final day of midterms week, so the typically sparse building seemed mostly deserted. Not that many students tended to hang out in the mostly administrative building anyway. Mackenzie turned and began walking down the hall to her right. She knew exactly where she was going. And, unfortunately, that was because she'd been there several times already that semester. Today, Mackenzie Fairbairn was replacing her student ID card.

Two days earlier, Mackenzie had had quite a miserable day. She'd had three midterms back to back, but that hadn't been the true cause of her misery. That was mostly due to the fact that she'd wound up naked while taking each and every midterm! The redhead blushed again, just thinking about getting implausibly stripped by the stranger behind her while taking her first exam. She grimaced thinking about how her tight and skimpy clothes (borrowed from Willow) had torn off during her second exam. And, of course, she felt mortified anew thinking about how her towel had fallen off during her third exam, causing her to give a presentation completely nude to the entire room.

She'd allowed herself one day of being a recluse inside her dorm room before she'd needed to emerge and get back to her life. But, given how often Mackenzie had lost the literal pants she'd been wearing that semester, she'd also lost her student ID card a few times as well! For her, this was a huge inconvenience, as she couldn't pay for any dining hall meals or even get into her dorm building without someone else's help! So, here she was. Trudging towards the increasingly familiar Campus Card Office.

Inside she found a somewhat familiar face.

"Well, well, well," the middle-aged woman behind the small desk said, "lost your card again sweetheart?"

"Yeah..." Mackenzie sighed. "Could I get another one?"

"Of course," the woman replied, pulling on a pair of glasses and staring at her computer. "It'll be the standard fee of $20, though. That alright?"

"Mhm..." the redhead reluctantly said. In truth, it really wasn't that okay. Mackenzie's wardrobe seemed to be dwindling by the day, and she didn't have a huge amount of clothes left. She would have preferred saving even meager amounts of money for replacing clothes, but her ID was a necessity...

"Okay," she said, typing in a few things. "I'll need you to stand over there for a photo, please."

"Huh?" Mackenzie asked. She hadn't needed to do that the past few times she'd replaced her card. They'd simply reused the photo of her from the beginning of the semester. "Why? What about the old one?"

"Well, since you've gotten replacement cards three times in one semester, this is an added security measure."

"Ugh, fine," she relented, shuffling over to the backdrop on the wall near the camera on a tripod.

The office worker followed her over a few moments later, looking at the camera to make sure everything looked acceptable.

"Just a bit to your right, please, sweetheart," she said. "Oh, and I need you to take that heavy jacket off, please."

"M-my jacket?" Mackenzie said, surprised. She wasn't expecting a request for her to disrobe, even if only her outer layer.

"It's bunching up around your neck too much," she replied. "There needs to be enough negative space around your face for the picture to clear security standards."

Mackenzie normally wouldn't have balked at this issue, but today her clothing choices had been rather limited...

"NO WAY!" Willow cried, before cracking up in hysterics. "Did you take this picture naked?!"

Front and center on Mackenzie's new ID, was a photo of her sporting a slight blush... and seemingly nothing else! Granted, it only showed down to the top of her chest. But still, her shoulders and upper chest (and even the tiniest hint of the start of the curve of her breasts) were all completely bare! And now this picture would be on her ID for the rest of the semester, if not longer!

"No!!" Mackenzie angrily replied through a blush. "Of course not! I was wearing a tube top!! See?"

The redhead gestured down at herself and the tube top she was still sporting.

"I hate to say it," Marianne said, giggling at the picture a bit herself, "but it DOES look rather... suggestive."

Mackenzie groaned and blushed more deeply. She had the feeling it was going to be a long year...
