The track whisked by under her feet as Cassie made another lap, fully enjoying the heat of the sun on her skin and the feeling of the breeze in her hair. Normally she would have had to contend with the track team doing their weekly work-out but today they were working inside and left the field open to her. She whistled as she passed the starting marks and only came to a halt after another half-dozen laps. By then her skin was coated in a sheen of sweat and she was breathing heavily. The team should be done with their work out and showers so, as long as she was quick, the Coach should not have a hard time with her using the showers before making the walk home. Grabbing up her water bottle and sweat towel she headed off the field toward the locker room and showers.
She had been right in one thing at least. Practice for the track and field teams was over, but the only showers and locker room available was the boy's. She had stopped the Coach on her way out of the gym and been assured that she was going to be the only one in there and should not worry too much about the impropriety of cleaning up in the
'other teams'
locker room. Cassie just nodded but made double sure to look around before ducking into the locker room.
The boy's locker room was no different from the girl's except that there were urinals mounted with the stalls and, not a big surprise, a condom dispenser as well. Cassie thought for a minute about wearing her swim suit into the shower – just in case – but seeing as nobody was around, decided to chance it and stripped out of her jogging shorts and the rest of her clothes. Pausing in front of the mirror she took stock of what she saw and decided that it wasn't all

bad. Sure, her small c-cup breasts could have been a little larger but at least they were not so far gone that they hurt after she went for her runs. Her hips had been narrow for the longest time but between weight training class and jogging her body had finally caught up with her age and she had started to look like a proper young woman in the last year – not the scrawny tom-boy that hadn't gotten much in the way of attention from the guys – and she thought of herself now as attractive. Not stellar, certainly not someone that would turn the heads of the most popular guys in school, but she had been getting noticed more often of late and that made her feel good about herself. The only thing that she didn't really like about her body image had to be the thick growth of pubic hair between her legs and blanketing over her mound! The auburn tangles were just not that attractive, but she had not worked up the courage to trim them down, or shave them completely. With her appraisal over, Cassie stepped into the nearest shower stall and cranked on the hot water.
She was ten minutes into letting the hot water ease the soreness in her muscles when she thought she heard the locker room door slam shut, and then the soft tread of sneakers on the concrete floors.
Oh shit,
she thought as she quickly shut off the water and wrapped a towel around her breasts and hips. Everything was covered, but her clothes were still ten feet away and Cassie was certain that she wasn't alone anymore! Slipping on wet tile she collapsed on the bench next to her duffle bag and began pulling clothes out of it and trying to figure out what went which way. Her skin was still soaked and that made making the material do what it was intended to all the more difficult. Not to mention that she was agitated and nervous so her fingers were not wanting to work the right way. She was half way into her bra and struggling to straighten her underwear when
