This story follows on from Ellen's Quiet Day at Home
****
After the day that Ellen had spent alone at home where she discovered an interest in being naked out in the open, she looked for opportunities to repeat the experience. To her disappointment there were no chances for her to be naked around home as the way her family's schedules intersected with hers meant that she was never home by herself. Ellen had taken to getting naked in her room at night but that wasn't such an out of the ordinary situation. She had put herself on display and masturbated in front of her open window a few more times but that was only somewhat satisfying. Not being willing to give up on experiencing the thrill of being exposed in a daring way, Ellen started considering other places she might be able to try getting naked.
Whenever she went out of the house, Ellen would idly consider whether there was any way that she could strip off or could try something daring without attracting too much attention and getting into trouble. Doing something away from the safety of home felt like a big step and Ellen was mindful of not biting off more than she could chew.
No place she visited or passed by really seemed to be suitable though. They were all either too busy with people or felt highly inappropriate for nudity. Ellen also wasn't sure about what kind of daring things she could do or how she would go about it. After the seeming impossibility of finding a good place for her to bare her body, Ellen put the idea of doing something risky in public to the back of her mind.
For her next semester at university, one of Ellen's classes was scheduled for late afternoon and ended in the evening. She didn't mind the late finish all that much as it allowed her to arrange a good number of her classes into one day and leave her with more free time on other days. On the first week that she had to stay late at university, Ellen planned to head to the university gym once her classes were over for the day. Going to the gym made for an even longer day but after spending hours sitting in classes and sitting around talking with her friends, Ellen felt that she needed to do something active.
The gym facility at her university was big in order to accommodate the sports programs as well as casual users. The benefit was that the gym was attached to an indoor swimming pool centre and had a number of steam rooms as well as a few spa baths.
On her first late night visit to the gym as she started her workout Ellen noticed just how few other people were around. A few minutes after Ellen had started using one of the treadmills, she had the whole cardio section to herself. When she went to the weights area there were just a few guys making use of the free weights. Towards the end of her workout Ellen was almost completely alone. Amidst the oddness of the near deserted gym her mind noted that this might be the opportunity to do something daring that she was looking for. It had been a long day though and Ellen wasn't in the mood to do anything in the spur of the moment. She thought to herself that if it turned out that the gym was usually this quiet around this time, she could take her time and make sure she didn't blunder into a highly embarrassing situation.
The following week after her late class, Ellen was back at the gym and found that it was again fairly quiet with only a few other people working out. By the time that Ellen had finished her workout there was, similar to the previous week, only one other person in the gym. Two weeks in a row could just be a coincidence but Ellen was willing to believe that this day and time was an actual quiet period. The gym was on campus and so was a little out of the way for anyone other than students and people working at the university. Unless there was some sports team coming in for late night training, it was unlikely that a lot of people would show up to the gym.
To Ellen it seemed that there was a great opportunity for her to do something in a semi public place that pushed her boundaries but wasn't likely to get her in big trouble. On her way home she thought about what kind of risky things she could do at the gym. The obvious starting point was to wear some revealing workout clothes. That wouldn't be too big of a step for her to start off with. Showing some more skin at the gym wouldn't draw much notice. Throughout the time Ellen had been using the gym at university she had seen a large number of girls wearing fairly brief outfits and a few wearing really attention grabbing clothes that showed a lot of cleavage and/or the shape of their asses. Ellen wasn't planning on wearing anything ridiculously revealing but the idea of having more of her body visible and being able to easily expose even more of herself was enough to give her a small buzz of anticipation.
That evening, Ellen went through her clothes for something that she could wear or modify in order to carry out her idea. Finding something that she could wear as a top was a fairly easy task. A couple of her sports bras were quite revealing but could probably be worn as exercise tops without drawing any real attention. With her modest sized breasts even the revealing sports bras left Ellen properly covered. She wondered if she should go for something a lot looser and more exposing. She could get a tank top and modify it so that it provided some coverage but any movement would expose a lot of her breasts. While picturing that idea gave Ellen a buzz, it felt like that would attract too much attention and it was a bit too big of a step for her. One of the more revealing sports bras was older and some of its elastic was a little stretched but not enough that it was unwearable. The looseness of its fit while still remaining functional made the sports bra the most ideal choice for Ellen. The bra being black also helped to make it look like a regular top.
Finding something that she could wear as the bottom of her outfit was trickier. Ellen wanted something that only covered a small amount of her body and was also loose fitting so that she could take them off or put them on quickly. Most of her workout clothes, especially her bottoms were tight fitting spandex. The loose fitting gym shorts that Ellen did have were too long for what she was hoping to do. She thought that perhaps she could get an older pair of shorts and cut them so that they were a much shorter length.
