Jimmy peers around the room, looking for something -- Is it possible that he dropped something here earlier, or has he spotted you from across the room and come to get a better look? His black and white Converse sneakers press into the brown shag carpet slowly and carefully as he creeps around, searching.
You've seen this gangly teen around the school earlier, usually hanging around with his bone-head older brother, but really never took much notice. But at this size, the young man fills your entire vision and could be the end or the continuation of your young life.. You don't know how similar Jimmy is to his cruel jock of an older brother, but you're not in a position to be fussy, especially with the boy's colossal sneakers hovering over your head and hitting the ground every few secods. You need to make a plea for help, and you need to do it now.
You take a chance and make a jump for the curly-haired boy's sneaker the next time it comes close to you. You hook on with both arms, awkwardly struggling to hitch one leg over the padded wall, the hem of his stiff jeans leaning on your back. You finally succeed in tucking both legs in between the giant nerd's sneaker and ankle -- and you wouldn't dare go in any deeper. The fumes drifting up from Jimmy's feet are vile enough where you stand.
Jim tucks a pen into his pocket, apparently satisfied with his search, then picks up his bag and leaves the Detention room, your back grinding against his white sock with every step. Soon, giant Jim will be outside, and you'll be free of this strange and scary school forever. Then you can find your way home, where some one can help you.
Suddenly, an ominous throught creeps into your mind. You've been fairly popular your whole life, and you know from experience how bitter geeks like Jim can be towards guys like you. What if Jim discovers you and traps you before you can find freedom? What suffering would this introvert have to unleash on a kid like you if he had the chance?
..What if he's 'already' noticed you and he's just waiting for his chance to capture you for torture, once no one's around to help?? As Jim fumbles with his locker, you peek out from behind the wall of his sneaker and notice another guy standing nearby -- A tall, blond, blue-eyed jock named Luke. You know Luke hangs out with a lot of dopey, unfriendly jocks but the fact that he's extremely popular also means that he isn't likely to hold any grudges against you. It's possible that Luke will be a much more helpful giant than Jim.. It's also possible that he'll be nothing more than a mean and heartless jock, and that Jim is your safest bet after all.
Should you trade ur passenger seat in Jim's sneaker for the tall, blue-eyed jock?  | Members who added to this interactive story also contributed to these: |
