About three months after I had graduated from high school, I started summer classes through my local community college to get a head start on my degree since the college I attend now is really expensive. It’s cheaper to get general education credits through my community college, so I do that instead. A few weeks into my summer class, I had to go back to my high school to pick up some papers that the community college needed. I would say “why the hell can’t they just email it?” but then I wouldn’t have such an awesome story to tell, lol.
Anyway, I arrived at the school and it was extremely empty – this wasn’t surprising at all, as it was still summer and the high school had at least two more weeks before it opened up for the fall. I walked down the long hallway and made my way to the main office, where I found the same secretary worker that had been there since my freshman year. She was chatting with a man who I will call Mr. A, and I suddenly became very aware of what little clothing I was wearing. It was 90 degrees outside and I didn’t have anything else to do that day, nor was I expecting to run into anybody, so I just wore a tank top and shorts with the same zip-up hoodie I wore almost every day of my life after getting it a few years ago. I wasn’t dressed inappropriately, per say, but I was certainly showing a *lot* of skin. Mr. A and the secretary noticed me walk in and they continued their conversation in a hushed tone before the woman directed her attention toward me.
