Ignore Them
Samantha moved from machine to machine, feeling the eyes of two women on her. They were standing by a machine near hers, whispering and occasionally glancing her way. She tried to ignore them, thinking they were admiring her, but it soon became clear they were fixated on her. She felt uncomfortable, but chose to stay focused on her exercise. She tried to drown out the noise, but it was clear the two women were preoccupied with watching her.
