"Oh god." She's not only young, she's the youngest she could be. And yet, without even being aware of it, she tossed your helpless little form. You wished there was another option, but if you didn't get help soon you'd be stuck on the bus while the bus driver cleans, and if the stories Kelsey told were anything to go by, she'd be more likely to squish you than help you.
Taking a deep breath and gathering your courage, you stepped closer to the foot. The foot was neatly tucked into massive pink flip flops. They weren't just massive because of your micro size; the sole of the flip-flop was at least an inch and a half thick, which had it over your knee level. It was also worth mentioning the length of the since it was a good 2 and a half inches longer than your shrimpy little form.
You prepare to lift yourself onto the sole of the shoe, when suddenly the whole thing shakes. You fall back, and the foot slides out of the footwear. The flip flop is discarded midair, and it hurdles down towards you. Your time playing video games must have payed off, since you are able to instinctively roll away as the flip-flip lands upside down where you were standing.
Pride courses through you. Maybe this won't be so hard after all. "If that flip-flop can't crush me, nothing can!"
Before we continue, it's important to note that one of the side affects of unneeded bravado is temporary blindness to your surroundings. Thus, you didn't notice the other foot do the same thing. This time, it landed right side up, and the muddy sole crashed down on you.
Lesson learned, you crawl your way out from under the foam and wipe the muck off. Looking up, it appears she tucked her feet under her, as if she was preparing for a long ride. Good, since time wasn't on your side. A new plan needed to be made, so you took check of your surroundings. Her backpack was stowed under the seat, next to her seatmate's pack. Speaking of her seat mate, she hadn't pulled her feet up, leaving them for you to potentially use. They were sandals, not flip-flops.
So, you are left with a decision. Will you try to ride the sandals of the seat mate, or will you spend the time to make a new plan?
