She continues towards her hostel

She was so close now. She committed to a final dash across the open space, her hostel just down this final wide alley. She could already see the neon red sign. She made it to the building without any further trouble, but could already hear the music and chatter of the other guests. She would have to barge through the lively lounge area before escaping to her coed room, where others might still be awake to watch her enter. Would anyone intercept her?

Julie stood with her arms tucked in front of her chest and her body pressed against the white wall so she could just about poke her head around the corner. The hostel had an open patio with a few tables and lounge chairs. Tall wooden posts held up netting and tacky "holiday"-themed decorations like plastic flamingos and beach items. As predicted, the patio was full with rowdy drunken patrons. The only way in was right through the middle, into the lobby and up the stairs.

Julie had been humiliated so much already. Being naked in front of all these people still frightened her anyway. There were a couple of extra good reasons too. First of all, they were all around her age. Secondly, she would have to face them again and again over the course of her stay. And third, they would be sleeping in the room with her.
