Fully aware: From a pledge at the gym.

Shelby quickly rushed inside the bodega and got her favorite pre-workout drink. Greek row was always a nightmare for parking even if you did have an assigned spot so she had chosen to walk to the gym this morning and the little bodega on the corner knew where it was in relation to the gym and always had the best selection of drinks.

Rushing out passed the hag she flipped the old crone off who just smiled in response. A short walk later she was at the gym. There she met up with Kirsten her little in the sorority for the year. Shelby had picked her out specifically, she was a legacy her mother having been a member in the 90's, they both came from money, they both had a knack for leadership others accused of bitchy-ness. Cold, calculating, and manipulative, they both had a thing for dry sarcastic humor. Shelby was grooming Kirsten for command and as a life long ally, and Kirsten knew it. All and all Kirsten was a straight up mini-me terror of Shelby seeing herself above the other pledges by default of her status.

A couple inches shorter than Shelby, Kirsten had a very well maintained and tight, but much curvier figure boasting either a 34C or 32D chest depending on the brand of bra and how much cleavage she felt like showing off that day the 18 year old freshman's slim waist and impressively sculped ass were currently packed into some northface running shorts and a bikini top all pledges of their sorority were required to wear as their only top covering during rush week.

It was a mild hazing considering their California beach front location, seeing students in swimsuits wasn't uncommon. Kirsten was first to pick hers out of the box and was in a very conservative number. Some of the last girls barely got to cover their nipples with the sorority letters.

As the soon to be sisters met at the front entrance with surprisingly perky greeting considering the hour. They were actively trying to hit the gym at its busiest to shop for partners, this early in the semester on a Friday that was mid-morning. Another thing that had come out during the one on one interviews at the pledging ceremony was that Kirsten was bisexual and was worried the other girls would judge her for it. Shelby assured her that it wouldn't be a problem while she was around being one herself, but to be careful not to get caught ogling her sisters too much.

As they made their way through the locker-room, stowing and locking their changes of clothes and towels they made their way into the main gym proper. The main gym floor was a giant oval room with mirror and window lined walls. A quarter mile paved track separated the room into different sections, free-weights to one side ellipticals and treadmills on the other. The track and warmup area in the middle doubling as a floor for yoga and the like. Every area had at least a few people, most were nearly packed with just a few empty machines or stations.

Kirsten got a little nervous by the size of the crowd and told Shelby as much.

"Hey, all the essentially are covered. Be confidant, stay composed!"

"That's it that's your advice to me shaking my tits in front of 300 people? Stay composed no matter what" Kirsten had meant it as a question but Shelby took the last of it as a command.

"Yep" came the quick reply. "Come on jiggle tits let's get warmed up."

Kirsten blushed a bit but her compatriot was in barely more than she was, Shelby's yoga shorts hugging her every curve and sports bra quite a bit more support but barely less coverage than her own bikini top. Still Kirsten could feel the stares of the assembled crowd as they made their way into the middle of the room and began stretching. She had to continually readjust her top to keep from spilling out of it. Shelby for her part was doing little better having to constantly tug down her yoga shorts which kept wanting to ride up into her ass.

Still their goal was to get attention and the older girl was busy working the crowd while her slightly underdressed sidekick was staring at the ground.

As they began their run Kirsten's top problems only got worse until the inevitable happened her left tit bounced right out of her top mid-run about 3/4 of the way into her first lap. She stopped blushing furiously and readjusted herself. By now most of the gym was idling watching the pair of jiggling coeds as they circled the place.

Before the 4 lap warm-up was complete she had 3 more accidents and was fairly certain the entire floor now knew exactly what her nipples looked like. As she rejoined Shelby for a quick water break she was blushing like mad and ready to call it a day. But the older girl was having none of it.

"But everyone is staring at me!" Kirsten pleaded

"Oh, so you don't think anyone here is looking at me, did we come here to get attention or not?" came the slightly icey reply

"You're not the one who just showed everyone your tits!" Kirsten whisper screamed at the older girl frustrated at the lack of empathy.

"Doesn't matter, keep your composure. It's really not a big deal" came the reply from Shelby

"Yea right, if it's not big deal then you take off your top and do a lap" Kirsten mumbled under her breath

It was just loudly enough for Shelby to hear her but the rant about insubordination died on her lips as her hands moved to the bottom of her sports bra, before she knew it it was off and over her head. She didn't consider it a big deal that -Kirsten's- boobs had been seen but the voice inside her head was screaming at her to cover herself. Instead she took off running and completed her lap in a little under 2 minutes.

The topless 21 year old officially had the attention of the gym as she returned to her pledge in the open space in the middle of the track. She grabbed her top off the floor and hesitated. She didn't have permission to get redressed. What where had that thought come from, everyone is staring at you idiot, put the top on. Her inner monologue was screaming but her perky tits remained on full display.

Kirsten was wide-eyed as her mentor in the sorority who had just 4 days ago given her a lecture on teasing your way into power was being so brazen.

After a few seconds of awkward silence punctuated by the distant clacking of weight machines.

Shelby broke the silence.

"May, I put my top back on now?" she asked

"Why are you asking me dude? I'm impressed though I always thought all that free the nipple talk you did was an excuse to get the freshman girls topless every spring but wow"

Shelby remained topless and obviously uncomfortable by this fact. Mantaining her composure only at the effects of the earlier command.

"I uh, I need you to say I can put my top on." Came the slightly meek reply from the elder girl

"What why?" Kirsten

"I dunno, I just do" Shelby

"And what if I say no?"

"Then I'll keep it off and do what you say" Shelby found herself replying knowing somehow it was true.

"You'll do whatever I say?" Kirsten asked incredulously.

"Yes"

Kirsten was sure this had to be some kind of test. Pledge week hazing. But if that was the case then she couldn't yet figure out where the trap for her was. Would she be made to act like this later and if so could she expect anyone to be nice to her when it happened, if she was nice so would they be? In their meetings earlier in the week Shelby made it clear when you had power over someone you needed to exercise it to remind them of the pecking order, would she be punished if she didn't see how far this went? She needed insurance to make sure this didn't go south for her. Heading over to her waterbottle and phone she picked up the latter and came back over to Shelby.
