It only took Melody a second or so to lift her pencil from her desk to her mouth, but that second felt like an eternity to you. All in an instant you had to weigh the pros and cons of shouting up to remind her of your position. If you were too quiet then she would surely chew on you unconsciously, not only causing you tremendous pain but preventing you from helping her pass her test. But if you made too much noise you risked other students, or even worse the professor, noticing you helping Melody cheat. You had no idea what the professor would do if she caught you in this situation, perhaps confiscate you and execute some type of punishment, or possibly ban students from hiring you as a tutor in the future. Ultimately you couldn't take this risk and only managed to quietly say up to your brainless captor,
"Melody, wait..." but your words were nearly inaudible as you felt your tiny body and the pencil eraser slide between her lips. Luckily, her breath was relatively fine but still you couldn't help but gulp with fear as your body slammed into two sets of teeth on both sides of your body. Immediately she chomped down without a care in the world, mashing you flat against the pencil. Melody chewed for a good minute or so as she wracked her brain trying to remember what year the revolutionary war happened. Finally, the answer hit her as she removed you and the pencil from her mouth and proceeded to write down the answer "Year 1" before smiling to herself and proceeding to the next question. You couldn't move your head enough to see Melody's ridiculously stupid answer to that question as your face was squashed flat against the eraser. If you could have looked around you would have noticed a significantly more confident-looking Melody focusing in on her test.
If you could have read Melody's mind you would have been able to tell that her ditziness had caused her too utterly forget about the tiny tutor she had helping her cheat on the test. But by some messed up wiring in her brain she remembered that she had some sort of advantage going into this test, she just couldn't remember what. For that reason she assumed that all of the harebrained answers she was coming with had to be correct. Quickly, Melody began to race through the test, completing a variety of different question types in mere minutes. You felt your body being shaken to and fro as Melody furiously wrote in answers, and sighed, knowing full well that Melody was going to fail this test. Only about 30 minutes had passed when Melody stood up triumphantly from her desk, threw you into her backpack without a second thought, and went to turn her test in to the professor before any other student had. The professor gave Melody a stunned look, but reluctantly accepted her test. Your now clueless captor turned and strutted her way out of the classroom, turning the heads of quite literally everyone in the class.
You, meanwhile, were back in the prison of the front zipper on Melody's backpack, a place that you had spent hours in earlier and were in no rush to spend more time in. You felt yourself shaking back and forth in the darkness as Melody practically skipped back to her dorm room. You heard a door close and assumed she must have gotten home, and when you felt the sense of weightlessness that accompanied being dropped, you knew that she must have put her backpack down. Slamming into the ground you felt yourself get slightly squashed to the gum wrapper next to you. Luckily, weren't stuck to this bit of trash as you managed to peel yourself off. Now that the journey was over you began to to panic upon realizing that you might be stuck once again in this forgetful girl's backpack. You felt your way around in the darkness for the zipper, but when you stumbled across it you realized that there was nothing on the inside that would allow you to unzip it. Groaning, you knew that you might be in for an extended stay in this boring prison and you laid down to accept your fate.
In this backpack is where you remain until...
