Covering up

"I've what?!"

"Split your trousers." Robyn repeated, "Unless this is a fashion statement." she poked at the back of Sandry's trousers, where the dark grey material was parted in a wide oval to reveal bright white cotton underneath.

"Oh, that's embarrassing!" Sandry blushed, reaching both hands behind her to try and pull the rip closed, or at least hide it a bit. She failed to realise how much her blouse was being tugged apart at the front by this motion. "What am I going to do?"

"Do you have your PE kit with you?"

"Not on a Monday."

"Swimming kit?"

"You think I should wear my swimsuit instead?"

"Well, looks like there's only one thing for it." Robyn darted to a side desk and picked up a stapler, "Turn around."

"You can't staple them while I'm wearing them!"

"Take them off, then."

Sandry sighed.

"Fine, but do it quickly."

"I can do it quickly, or I can do it well." Robyn replied, kneeling down behind her friend. She began to tug at the ragged torn seam, pulling the material into the stapler and clunking it closed.

"What about the experiment?" Sandry asked, "Ow!"

"Careful." Robyn replied, "I'll just make something up. Almost..."

"Ow!"

"Done."

Sandry tentatively felt at her rear. The seam was closed up again, now a line of tiny metal staples.

"Good job." Sandry smiled.

"Not just a pretty face." Robyn replied, putting the stapler back on the desk, "Pass me the paper so I can write our results."

"Sure." Sandry turned to the bench and bent, very slightly, as she reached.

RIP!
