>>1673965It was Ruka's first time changing in public. Little wonder she was apprehensive. She tried to tell herself she had nothing to be shy about. She liked to think she had a pretty nice figure. Even the girl next to her had almost no bust, and she had no qualms about undressing.
Okay... she could do this. Ruka held her blouse in one hand, while the other carefully undid her bra and assisted herself in shrugging it off.
Her gaze passed over to the other girl nearby, who seemed just as carefree as everyone but her. Why couldn't she get over her hang-ups? It wasn't like she was naked, she was only topless... though obviously that would be required too. As if to remind her of that, she noticed that same girl was soon not wearing a thing.
And Ruka was staring. She turned back to her locker, red-faced, hoping that girl hadn't noticed. Awkward.
Okay, just get it over with. She put her blouse into the locker, hooked her fingers within her skirt and underwear, and shoved them down all at once, her eyes shut tightly the entire time as she threw them into the locker.
There, done. Ruka exhaled, shoved the locker shut, and took up a nearby bath towel. She'd have that always close at hand when she went to the showers, so that helped put her mind at ease.
With shaky footing, she passed through the locker room, keeping the white cotton slung across her shoulder. Ruka felt much better once she put space between her and the other girls.
She looked over her shoulder one last time before passing through the door, reassured that no one was watching.
Then the feeling of a draft hit her at the same time the locker room door clicked shut behind her, her lingering blush draining from her face as she realized she was standing by the indoor pool.
