This choice: It's another day of classes and he's back to his shenanigans • Go Back...Chapter #7Tread lightly by: Tisch   Jack groggily awoke in the morning to his routine alarm going off, indicating he had another day of classes ahead of him. Eager to shut off the displeasing noise, Jack sat up and pressed the button on his phone to shut it off. Begrudgingly, he hopped out of his bed and grabbed some fresh clothes to change into after a shower. Jack went about his morning routine normally, nothing particularly unusual going on, and returned to his dorm to drop off his dirty laundry and pick up his things to go to breakfast. Jack realized that his backpack was still missing, though, so he had to carry his things to class in his arms, which was a bit annoying. However, Jack felt better after breakfast and proceeded to his first class in good spirits.
Arriving in his first class of the day, a writing course, Jack sat down in one of the many open seats and pulled out his phone. He felt his shrink ray in his pocket, and though he had a bit of an episode the day prior, Jack figured he would use the device again before class ended. As students arrived, Jack kept scrolling through his phone and did so until the professor arrived and the class was about to commence. To either side of him, there were a few empty seats. This was beneficial for Jack who was going to shrink himself once again. The less people around him to notice, the better. When he felt people had become distracted enough by the professor speaking, Jack pulled the shrink ray out and zapped himself.
In an instant, there he was back to just a few inches tall. He hopped off his chair to protect himself from being sat on and began walking around the room. There were pairs of shoes, and a few sandals and slides, everywhere. Jack laughed as the possibilities for a prank or two circulated in his mind. There was one person in particular that caught his attention. Jack peered out from underneath the table and looked up to see if he could identify the person, but he couldn't. The person in question appeared to be a girl a year or two older than him. She was wearing a casual grey university sweatshirt and sweatpants with white tennis shoes. Having not known who she was, Jack knew that the risk for bugging her would be a little bit greater considering she might immediately go to interpreting him as a bug, but it was a risk worth taking for the laughs in his opinion. After all, he had been able to pull off a few great pranks in high school. Jack approached the girl's shoe and climbed up the front, realizing that the girl was hanging her sock-laden foot out of it, just above the opening. Jack walked across the top of the shoe and arrived at its mouth, looking inside. There was a faint smell coming from it, but it wasn't overwhelmingly displeasing. He looked at the girl's foot which was swaying up and down and concluded that he could either climb it from here or try and tickle it from below. Thinking the tickling would be an easier method to pull off, Jack hopped into the girl's shoe. In hindsight, this was a really stupid move considering the girl could bring her foot back into her shoe at any moment, but Jack hadn't considered that fact when he jumped in. Now, with her foot hovering above him, Jack jumped and reached to try and tickle the girl. Instead of creating a few laughs for himself, Jack triggered the foot to descend back into the shoe: right where he was at. With nowhere to go as the foot covered the shoe's opening, Jack ran backwards towards the toe section of the shoe, but was tracked down.
*SMUSH*
Caught directly underneath the socky sole of the girl, Jack was trapped. The air emanating from it was musty and smelled of damp cloth, moderately discomforting but not overwhelming. Jack figured that the girl would have felt herself step on him and rest her foot there and check him out.
However, does this go as Jack thought or does the girl not realize or feel that there was something under her foot?  indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
