Slowly and cautiously

She could not afford to make a mistake now. If she just ran out there she could bump into someone and before she knew it all attention would be on her. No, she had to stay calm and get as close to the girls she was after without getting caught. Hannah lay in wait for a good couple of minutes, focussed on her destination to make completely sure there was noone there. The leaves of the hedge and damp blades of grass teased her naked body with every movement. Every touch reminded her of her nudity, as if she ever could forget. She made herself as small as possible and readied herself to make her move. She could not control her shivering breath. She was so incredible nervous. Just how many people stood just behind this thin, low hedge?

She could not get caught here. The humiliation would be far too much. Someone would surely recognize her and even if they didn't so many strangers would see her totally nude. Her slender, petite body bare for all to see. And, how would she ever get her key in that scenario? When all attention would be on her? The longer she waited and the more she thought about it, the more nervous she got. She pressed herself really close to the hedge now and quickly poked her head around the corner. Her fearful eyes looked in the direction of the voices and the music, and a feeling of utter dread set in. There were far more people than just the four girls and the one boy there. It was a huge group. She saw at least 30 people, drinking and talking. It was a whole party. Hannah stood frozen in fear as she thought of a possible explanation. The summer holiday had not even begun, shouldn't these kids be in school tomorrow?

"Oh no...", she realized, "it's the graduation party."

The boy had even messaged her about it. There was going to be a small party after the graduation ceremony. Hannah had even gone herself back when she graduated. The fact that Hannah had been invited might mean people from college might be here too! She pressed herself back into the hedge, the branches poking in her bare back. She could not even think straight. She was in way too risky a position. Dozens of her peers were just around the corner and here she was, completely naked hanging in a bush. She had to get out of here, but her key... How could she get close to the girls now? Everyone would surely see her. This was a nightmare. She had to carefully grab the attention of someone she hopefully could trust to not reveal her presence to absolutely everyone here.

She just saw a glance of one of the girls, sat at the edge of the party. She could try to grab her attention. She'd also seen the boy who had seen her already. He was stunned then, but at least her nudity would not be as surprising anymore. It would be humiliating, but again he had already seen a lot. Or, perhaps she could play the long game and wait here until someone passed by close enough for her to isolate them. Maybe even someone who was leaving the party.
