I quickly ran into the changing room and locked the door behind me.

If I was going to out run someone and their group, I would need to change into something a lot less revealing and clingy.

After that I put my hair into a side fishtail-braid so it wouldn't get in my way if I really had to make a run for it.

" Mom's not going to be happy, she has cancer!", Layla wailed.
