A safer option

The Nurse's office wasn't too far from the gym and other sports facilities for obvious reasons, so maybe new clothes would be there. It was a little walk but soon she would be home free and maybe there would be extra underwear. With that thought in mind she made her way to the locker room door to peek out.

The halls were empty!. Taking a deep breath Monica reached for the damp towel she had used to dry off. The thought of going out in just a towel was making her dizzy, but she could make it.

The nurses office wasnt far from the locker room and every door was closed. Another deep breath and just her shoes and a tiny towel on and she was off.

Her heartbeat was pounding through her head and her footsteps were whispering slaps as she took off in a sprint.

She ran as fast as she could, her hands gripping the towel like a mountaineer hanging off a cliff. Her fingers hurt from holding so tight and she felt dizzy and paranoid with only the sound of her heartbeat echoing in her ears.

After what felt like forever she turned a corner and there was her salvation. A simple door that she pinned all her hopes on!

And just in time! She could hear a murmuring of voices approaching. Somebody or a group of somebodies were about to turn the corner. She grabbed the knob and wrenched it open with both hands.
