Push herself

"C'mon" Amy tried her door again "Fucking just...open...please?" After another try she gave up. She was locked out again, unbelievable, after she'd took her key with her as well, how could she have forgotten it like this? Groaning to herself she turned her back on the door, leaning up against it, toying with Maria's card.

She really only had one option. Go back to the coffee shop, naked and ask for her hoodie back. It was just the same walk, it felt like wasted time, but it is what it is.

But if she did that...would she have enough time to go see Miss Sommers?

"No that's dumb" Amy assured herself. She was naked. She can't just go into the college like this. Being a campus rumour was one thing...but she could get into trouble.

Or could she?

"No, that's dumb. I'll get into trouble..." She muttered, making sure nobody could hear as she made her way downstairs, driven by either confidence or madness. "I'm getting into so much trouble" Amy said to herself with a smirk as she headed in the opposite direction, towards college. Each step granted her confidence but almost felt like it was eroding sense, not sensation, as in her literal common sense. She did her best to smile and nod, to act natural. Though in reality her nerves were on overdrive, it wasn't just public nudity, it was the lion's den.

Making her way to the sidemost front door, she quickly slipped in. She'd picked this one because while it was a very normal way in, it didn't put her in the reception area. The hardwood floors felt very strange beneath bare feet though, the air conditioning being on full blast brought her out in goosebumps too. Biting her lip, she slinked through side halls. Since it was the late afternoon now activity was extremely low, it made walking through the building almost eerie, like some kind of liminal space.

It didn't take long to get to Miss Sommers's class, peering through the glass in the door she could see there was no class in session, but the light was on. Miss Sommers must be at her desk.

Taking a deep breath, she knocked the door.

"Come in!" Heard Amy, a kind but mildly tired voice, yeah, Miss Sommers alright.

Carefully she turned the handle and braced herself as she entered. "Hey I'm here about my re-exam note?"

"Oh hey Amy, I've got it just here and-" Miss Sommers looked up from some papers she was grading, while she looked a little stressed she wasn't too many years older than Amy, she had her hair up in a bun, almost a bronze brown. Her expression was that of surprise but oddly enough amusement "Amy, you seem to have forgotten some things, are you alright?"

"Hm? Yes. Yes I'm alright Miss Sommers I'm just, you know" The nude blonde didn't seem to know how to answer.

"Are you sure?" Her teacher set her pen down, leaning in and looking her in the eye, but there was no malice "Is this a dare or...?"

"What? No no I'm uh" Amy scrambled for an answer, even if it was a lie "I'm, well you see it's kind of awkward?"

"Amy I'm your teacher, you can tell me something if it's troubling you. I promise I'm not going to spread rumours" It felt like she was making a joke, but that did reassure Amy a little. Only a little though, she still fished for something to say that wasn't 'I'm streaking'

Then she remembered the card in her hand. "D-do you know Maria Baker?"

"Yes I do, you're classmates. Did she say something to you that lead to this or...?"

"No no nothing like that. I joined her club because I'm a-" Amy painted herself into a corner, she'd admitted to being a something. A something relating to complete nudity.

"Because you're a-? I am aware of Maria's condition" Miss Sommers again tried to reassure Amy "You don't need to be ashamed"

"I'm a uh..." Maybe she needed a second to think about- "...compulsive um, nude. Nudist" Or she could just let her mouth go before her brain.

"A compulsive nudist?" Miss Sommers repeated, seeming a little awed herself "That seems like it would conflict with your comfort here. Though you seem, I mean I assume you walked here like that?"

Amy looked down at herself as her teacher gestured towards her "Y-yes. I walked here naked. And yesterday I walked to the coffee shop, the one ran by Abigail? She lets me drink there nude"

"Oh my, you're pretty confident then. Do you-" The older brunette leaned forwards "Would you like me to try and arrange some things Amy? I mean, you have been going out on campus and if your compulsive urges are this strong then it could impact your learning and comfort" She gestured for Amy to sit opposite her, to which the nude girl complied.

"Well I mean, that seems like it'd be a lot of work and I don't think it'd even be legal really. Shouldn't I be getting in trouble for this?" Amy gestured at her own body as she tried to weasel out of the lie she'd told.

"Yes and no" Miss Sommers said with a slight smile "Technically speaking public nudity is an offence and it's against the campus guidelines. However this college is private property, and the guidelines are mainly there to well, guide" She explained "People who are like Maria, who have a better handle on their compulsions, probably remain clothed due to social taboos. A lot of people are made uncomfortable by nudity, or view it as a sexual act. This is a more liberal college however, and you may have noticed our much larger performing arts section compared to similarly sized colleges"

Amy nodded. Though she didn't like where this was going, at least in her head she didn't, her feelings were very eager to hear what her teacher had to say.

"All that to say that really all you'd need is the faculty to be aware of your needs and you won't get into trouble exactly" Miss Sommers finished, her voice lowering a little, that faint smile curled into...something.

It took the nude girl a moment, silence hung over the room, she was too deep, too far into her own lies to really refute anything now.

"Can I ask, why do you know about all this?" Amy asked, nervously shifting in her seat "I mean, you handle geography, not performing arts. It sounds like you've had to look this stuff up before"

"Well, I mean" It was Miss Sommer's turn to look a little awkward now "It's come up I suppose. With Maria, you know" It didn't take an expert to tell her teacher was being evasive for some reason.

"Uh huh" The blonde replied simply "Anyway I uh, my note?"

"Oh yes" It didn't take long to find, a quick skim through one of her desk drawers and Amy was being handed the envelope "There you go, I'm sure you'll get better results this year, it was really awkward for everyone in this class honestly"

"Thank you Miss Sommers" Amy gave a half hearted smile, taking the envelope and beginning to stand.

"Amy, not to press you about it, but you didn't give me an answer. Should I take your issue higher up? I really wouldn't want you being uncomfortable here" Her voice was sincere and full of concern. her eyes just as much.

"I..." The nude girl bit her lips, glancing at the door, then back to her teacher "M-maybe? I mean, don't make a big thing of it it's...well you know"

"I know. Don't worry, I'm not going to push any harder than you're comfortable with. Now go on, before another teacher sees you. Troublemaker" Miss Sommers said with a chuckle, with Amy giggling as she rushed to the door and out into the hall.
