Sofia breaks the ice

As the other five arrivals gathered at her front door, Ava was now looking at around seven strangers she would eventually come to either work with or live near. All that stood between her bare front and their eyes was the opaqueness of her front door. Ava blushed, as she realized that in order to keep her head in view and speak to everyone, her bare shoulder would be in view, indicating that she was at least topless in the eyes of all the arrivals.

The three women who had originally been talking amongst themselves were quick to introduce themselves. The first to speak was a large, black woman who had her hair tied into strands of dreadlocks flowing down her back. She seemed extremely carefree, a sharp contrast to the brunette on her left that seemed to be glaring in her own direction. "Hey. There's supposed to be some thing going on here right?"

Ava was about to speak, when Mike spoke up for her. "Well, she just told us that all her clothes fell off the balcony, so she can't have guests over since she's naked."

The glaring girl shifted her vision to Ava. "Sounds like she's just nervous, and is getting cold feet. Don't worry, so long as there's beer and food we'll all be able to have a good time."

Another girl with jet black hair tied in an extremely formal bun atop her head glanced up from her phone with an annoyed look in her eyes. "This, is Kate." She explained, motioning to the scowling girl on her right. "My name is Jessica. Jess for short if its easier. And the other girl is Jordan."

"I'm Patrick" The blonde-bearded man in a suit stated, as he finally came into earshot of the group. His short, brown-haired partner followed close behind, and offered a wave. "Brian. Nice to meet you."

After the short bout of interruptions, Ava was able to speak. "I promise, I'd really like to meet all of you. And I feel really terrible about this. But I have nothing to wear. Not a single stitch of clothing is inside my apartment. I checked. I'd rather not offend anyone or give everybody the wrong impression on the first day I meet y'all... I'm not some nudie weirdo or something. I made a big mistake, and just lost everything I could possibly dress in. I don't even have a a towel, or a blanket to cover up with. " Ava explained.

There was a short pause as everyone took in the odd scenario before them. Ava couldn't believe the words herself when she spoke them. It sounded like the excuse of a crazy person. That they'd managed to lose ALL of their clothes, and were currently an unintentional nudist. There was much doubt in her mind that anyone would actually accept her story, much less understand and turn around without any hard feelings.

"...So you're saying you can't have the party anymore because you're naked? Shit, that just makes it more interesting." Patrick said with a shrug.

Jordan nodded in agreement. "Well, given your VERY specific circumstances, I gotta know how you managed to do this to yourself. All you've really done is fed into my curiosity."

Mike looked as if he was getting ready to say his farewell, and wish Ava best of luck, when Cathy grabbed his shoulder. "Wait, we never get to meet new people, or get invited to anything. I don't want to do this by myself..." Cathy complained.

Mike rolled his eyes. "She just said she's naked. Didn't you hear? We can't go, even if she lets us in."

"Why not? It could be fun. Spice up the party or something." Cathy said, a mischievous look in her eye. "Hold on. How am I the one having to convince you to go? You're a straight dude aren't you? You should want to see naked women! What's your angle on trying to dodge this? There's some football game on tonight isn't there?" Cathy accused, narrowing her eyebrows. Mike's lack of response and attempt to avoid her piercing gaze gave away his unspoken answer. Cathy threw her hands into the air for a moment in frustration. "Unbelievable!"

Ava began to blush. "Well, I'm honored by the enthusiasm, but I really would rather not offend anyone. I-" Ava started, only to get interrupted as someone grabbed her shoulder from behind. Suddenly, Ava felt the front door pull towards her, causing her to step back slightly. Once the door was halfway open, Ava managed a "What the..." Before Sofia, who was grinning ear to ear from behind Ava, suddenly shoved forward with her full might. Ava had no chance to react, as she stumbled forward and tried to regain her balance. She was barely able to stop herself from face-planting onto the floor, and quickly realized what was happening. "Oh no..." Ava said, her mind flashing back to the moment a day prior where she had locked herself out with her robe caught in the doorway. Only this time, she didn't even have the robe. And there were at least seven other people looking at her in varying degrees of shock.

Ava turned on a heel, and slammed against the already shut door, pounding her fist on it. "Sofia!" She screamed, her face already reddening to a tomato color. She tried the doorknob, but as expected the knob was already locked, and would not budge. Then, there was a few laughs from the many gathered around her doorway.

Cathy tugged on her boyfriend's shoulder, pointing in Ava's direction. "See? When else would you get a chance to go to a party where the host runs around naked? This is great!" She said, looking like a giddy child in a toy-store. Months of not taking his girlfriend on any dates, and being cooped up in the apartment was starting to show itself, much to Mike's dismay.

As the chaos continued to unfold, much to several spectators' amusement, Sofia answered Ava's pleas from within her apartment. "Oh! Sorry about that! I slipped! And I can't seem to figure out how to unlock this door..." Sofia said through the door, earning a frustrated huff from Ava.

"Let me in, everyone can see me! It's my apartment!" Ava exclaimed.

"Maybe if you were to introduce yourself to everyone, the door would magically unlock. I don't know. Worth a try though." Sofia sarcastically suggested.

Jordan clapped her hands together, cackling at the sight before her. "Oh damn, this is too good! I thought she was messing with us!"

There was a short pause, as Ava realized what Sofia wanted her to do. "You can't be serious. This is cruel."

"I'm just helping you come to terms with your circumstances. You can't just hide in your apartment forever. Even if you have no clothes to wear. The world doesn't stop because you are nude. I will be back in a few minutes."

Patrick raised his eyebrows, looking over at his coworker. "You know nobody is going to buy it if we tell them we saw this right?"

Ava pounded on the door again. "I'm not playing games! Open the door!"

There was no response this time, which brought Ava to reality with her situation. Everyone was staring in her direction, looking up and down every inch of her bare body. There were varying reactions of shock, amusement, an averted but still attentive gaze, and an indifferent but observatory stare, as silence filled the crowded hallway. She remembered the first impression she had dreamed about, the one she hoped was just a premonition of a successful event to meet people in her new setting. Laughing with the three girls across the hall. Maybe sitting down with the couple to have some drinks and learn about their relationship's details. Talking about the specifics of what she would do as an intern with the two men from her office. Instead, she was now standing stark naked in front of all of them, her bare breasts demanding constant staring from many in the hall. Her pussy, with just a slight amount of hair, now uncovered to any prying eyes. And lastly, her bare ass was out in the wind, allowing any who desired to see for themselves the exact shape, color, and size.

Finally, after what seemed like ages, Kate was first to speak. "Nice ass." She said with a nod, causing Ava's face to redden and make her sink further away towards the door. Ava was quick to raise her right arm and cross it across her C-Cup breasts for cover, and placed her left hand carefully over her pussy. She turned around, and planted her backside on the cold wood of her front door.

"I told you it would be fun." Cathy said with a laugh, punching Mike in the arm.

"Well, I better make sure to tell the angel who pushed her out the door I said thanks. This made my week!" Patrick stated with a smile, looking towards Brian.

Brian still seemed shocked, only managing to say "Whoa...", a sharp contrast to his amused coworker Patrick's comment.

"Well, seems like you've got nothing to hide. Still... How'd you manage this? It's a pretty tall order to literally lose all your clothes. I'd have a lot of outfits to go through before I reached that point." Jordan questioned.

Ava blushed madly. The attention, coupled with embarrassment was almost too much for her to take. In that moment, Ava wanted to crawl into a hole and never come out again. But she was able to persevere, and answer the question. "W-well, it all started with the move in...." She began, awkwardly smiling and staring at the floor.

The whole story was unfolded. Ava's moving van getting stolen. Her naked escapade in the hall, her loss of the robe, and the new addition of the loss of her towel. Ava was so engrossed in her story she almost tuned out the reality around her. As she finished her story, there was almost no reaction. Only Jess raised an eyebrow and had anything to say.

"Well, statistically speaking, this is pretty bad luck. But a couple of mistakes on your part did not make it better. But the point still stands. You're naked, and without any clothes. How are you going to get food? Go to work? Ride the bus? One call to the police and you're in handcuffs going off to downtown."

Ava seemed dumbfounded, and stared blankly forward. "I don't know. I hadn't thought that far ahead. I can't leave the apartment complex, or I'll get arrested. Hell, someone might call the cops on me in here if they see me in the halls." Ava said aloud, as she began to realize the scope of her situation was worse than she thought."

Jess seemed to think for a moment, and appeared as if she was about to say something before the door suddenly became unlocked again, and a very amused Sofia was very poorly covering a mischievous grin.

"Would you look at that! The door opened! How convenient!" She sarcastically exclaimed. Ava was quick to retreat into the doorway, and back into her own apartment.
