The Door is Locked!

The two scurried along the side of the school. All to Kelsey’s left was the parking lot. She felt so naked, as if on a big stage. Her hands were helplessly above her head, ironically holding onto clothing. She wanted to get back inside so bad, even if it meant being in the school hall without clothing. She started to regret not going back through the locker room.

Yet the door was in site. Kelsey was almost ready to drop her overhead cover and just run to it, but she had agreed to listen to Zoe. She knew Zoe wouldn’t be happy if she did that.

The two quickly huddled in the in caved section of the doorway. Safe from the rain, Kelsey was quick to drop the sweater and use one hand to shield in front of the area between her legs. She used her other hand to pull at the door.

Then Kelsey felt very stupid. She should have known this would happen. The door was locked! They couldn’t get in through a side entrance at this time of day. Without someone on the inside to open it up, the only real way in was to go through the front door.

Even Zoe didn’t seem to realize it. When Kelsey failed to open the door, she stepped in and tried, as if maybe she would be able to. Yet Zoe wasn’t able to open the door of course. The two stood in silence for a moment, the only noise being the rain falling just a few inches from them.

“This is no good,” Zoe says as she thinks about the situation.

Kelsey almost wants to complain about the situation, but she doesn’t want to yell at Zoe about it, neither of them thought of the door being locked. Kelsey was realizing they’d have to go the front doors, sneak by the office, and all the way through the school now. It all sounded impossible.
