Taking her leave, Amaya exited the classroom to the polite clap of the class and allowed herself a sigh of relief. “Finally, I’m out of there,” Amaya shivered. “Where everyone was seeing me naked, and I’m back… outside, where everyone can see me naked. Eeep!”
Amaya had left the building and was in the middle of campus. Exposed to everyone who so much as gazed outside their class window. But, she could see it. Her dorm! Her beautiful dorm! It was just a short sprint there!
Summoning her last reserve of energy, Amaya dashed forward for the final stretch. It was a miracle that she had survived the day without melting into a puddle of shame. God knows she could already barely feel her face.
But, she was close. Her dorm was just up ahead. The ordeal would soon be over and she could put the day behind her.
Amaya noticed a weird safe box left near the flagpole outside her dorm, near the main building with the classrooms, but she ignored it. She took the stairs to avoid an awkward encounter in the elevator, climbed three floors, and finally, FINALLY, she was back home. She couldn’t wait to take a shower, bury herself under her blanket, and enjoy at least a night of well-deserved isolation-
Wait, why could she hear music coming from her room?
“Hey! It’s the party girl!”
Amaya was dumbfounded. She opened the door to her place and found it full of people waving hello at her as if she had entered her own birthday party. Worse of all, she recognized them. They were her classmates! For some reason, they were all wearing swimsuits, and everyone had a drink in their hand.
“Eeeck!”
