Yeah... reluctantly, without incident.

Heading back to homeroom, feeling slightly better, or at least less aware of the pain, I couldn't help but thinking about the unexpected display of nudity I'd just witnessed in the nurse's station.

"I wonder if it's ALWAYS like that in there?" I wondered alloud.

Passing through the hustle and bustle of the hallways, something seems a litte... different in the school today. It seemed a little... quieter today. A little less crowded, maybe. Even the resonant sound usually produced by everyone passing through the halls seemed of a slightly subdued nature.

I hadn't seen any of my male friends, I realized. Today wasn't senior skip day or anything, was it? I thought I recognized a few passing female students from one of my classes, however, so I dismissed this thought.

Ugh.

My pants seemed to be a little tighter than usual. I shifted around into a more comfortable position, and moved my backpack from one shoulder to the other. Had I maybe put on a few pounds over the weekend? Or had the jeans shrunk in the drier?

I considered stopping in a men's room to loosen my belt a notch or two before homeroom.
