It was strange how the smallest details could give the biggest secret away. Such was the case for Jesse this time.
While his trip was nothing but a simple accident, that pinkish sole caught the attention of someone far behind him. She was fairly tall compared to the students around her, and her green highlights made her stand out even more. Jesse probably could have melted into the crowd and faded amongst them all, but his feet were something that Liz couldn't forget.
She teased him about it specifically. Rosie. Pinky Jesse. Everything that brought extra attention to them, especially because Jesse seemed rather self-conscious about his feet, which only spurred her on more.
On one of the last days of school, Jesse had his bare feet propped up on a chair when Liz had walked by. She had swung her hand out, planning on swatting his feet off the chair, but she misjudged the distance and ended up merely grazing her nails along the arch of his foot. The boy had let out such a loud squeal that nearly everyone in the class turned their heads to look. Even Liz had frozen, her face feeling a bit hot. However, before she could even say something the bell rang and Jesse grabbed his shoes and ran.
She still didn't understand why she felt odd after accidentally tickling him. It felt like a little flutter in her stomach that made her feel... good. It swirled in her mind for the months that school was out for summer, but now her "favorite toy" was back in her sights.
This was probably her best chance of making up for lost time.
