Again, being in the hands of any person beside your girlfriend made you sick to your stomach. What if Tommy, the class bully got ahold of you? He sat in the row next to yours. You looked over at him, a scowl on his face. Probably still mad you beat him up a few weeks ago. He had it coming, though; always picking on you and your girlfriend. If he found you, there was no telling what he would do to you.
Weighing your options, you decide the only way to get your girlfriend's attention is to run into her stomach. You step a few feet back, readying yourself to charge. You start running, your head lowered, like you're at football practice.
You strike the fleshy midsection of your girlfriend and bounce off, nearly tumbling off her leg in the process. You hear a faint "Oof" high above you and look up to see your girlfriend staring down in your general direction.
You start waving your arms, trying to get her attention. She sees something on her leg. It looks like a bug, only bigger. She brings her hand toward you and you think that she's going to kill you. You know there's no escape, so you simply close your eyes and brace for impact...
But then, you feel yourself being lifted upward. You open your eyes to see Amy, your girlfriend, smiling down at you. She places you down on her desk, in front of her math book, so other students wouldn't notice you.

Amy looks up a moment, making sure no one else noticed her. She then lifts you up again and places you in her purse. Before closing it, she whispers at you, "Sorry about this. But you're much safer in here for now. I'll take you out after class."
The light from above you slowly disappears, leaving you in darkness. A few moments later, you're tossed to the bottom of your leathery prison, as the purse is placed back on the ground, a little too rough for your taste.
You settle in a corner of the purse and wait until class was over. You were still tired from no sleeping much last night, so you decide to take a nap. The muffled noise of your teacher's voice from outside the purse has no effect on you and soon, you're out like a light.
When you awaken, you find yourself...
