More people arrive

Sophia was deadly afraid the people around her might realize that she was naked. They were so incredibly close to her, she could burst from the tension. Suddenly, the door to the pool opened again, and a group of girls exited into the reception area. This room was getting awfully crowded, and Sophia was right there in the middle of it with nothing but two pillows between them and her naked body. She tried her best not to arouse any attention, but luckily the girls walked on by.

Finally, the last member of the remaining group returned with his phone. The guy opposite her got up from the chair and walked towards the pool. He looked at her as he nodded casually. He must have come within a meter of her, and Sophia tightened her legs in anticipation. She had been incredibly lucky that he had not noticed her predicament. She was once again alone in the room with the clerk, who had started to pack her things.

"My shift is up," she said to Sophia, "and my replacement will be here in, I'd say, 10 minutes or so. How can I help you?"

Sophia answered timidly: "Some clothes would be great."

The clerk laughed, "I can imagine! I'm afraid the box you were trying to open only has some slippers and other junk last I checked. My advice would be to grab an apron from the kitchen in the back of the cafeteria. I have to catch the bus, but I suggest you get out of here before my colleague shows up!"

Is that the only help she was going to get after waiting for half an hour? If the clerk was right, this whole excursion had been for nothing. The lady could surely help her out a little more. If she could just borrow a coat or anything she would feel a lot better. Having to trek through the cafeteria, which was open to pool guests, mind you, was not exactly the relief she had hoped for. The woman had locked the office behind her, and without a ticket she could not enter the pool area again via the main entrance. Her only options were going outside to make her way home somehow, hide in the bathroom, or go through the cafeteria. She could try to beg for more help from the lady, but she realized she enjoyed taunting her too much.
