Her eyes left the girl's seated form and searched the surrounding lobby. A fire alarm? No... ringing that would have been absolutely crazy in her present appearance. Whatever she did, she would have to think of something before the period ended... she did -not- want to be stuck in the hall before finding a solution.
The hall? She blinked, looking at the opposite side... and the array of cleaning instruments lined up against it. That was it... at least, the only method she had at her disposal. Enough to get the girl's attention, and hopefully no one else. With one more look to ensure the girl stayed occupied, she reached out with a foot and lightly nudged one of the brooms over. It landed on the ground with a faintly echoing clatter.
As if on cue, she heard the girl getting up... and that was her mark to get out of sight. The door immediately behind her was opened with a light push, and she slid into the dimly lit room, waiting for the girl's footsteps to pass to investigate whatever had knocked the broom over.
She sighed to herself as she looked around the small closet. She felt ridiculous, but it was almost over. Once she got to that desk and found a spare uniform, she could put all this behind her. The girl's steps were far enough. She braced herself with a breath, then turned to go; she had to be quick about it. Only halfway out the door, she froze as if struck.
A sensation of unraveling fabric... a stray metal hook had ensnared a piece of the bandaging which made up her 'outfit'. Her face felt a rush of warmth as she stared back. She only had one opening, if she got an outfit from there, it wouldn't matter. But... if she was wrong, and just hurried out... her options may well have been done for.
