go to the bathroom like that

You crumple up the note and walk together with your healthy backpack in the direction of the men's toilets that are meant.

They can be reached across the schoolyard and, due to the broken toilet bowls and graffitied walls, are actually more likely to be entered for the forbidden smoking.

As you stand in front of the door, you pause. Was it really a good idea not to do any of the required?

You look down at yourself.

All you have left is your green T-shirt, your backpack, and your recovered shoes.

Anger comes over you.

Of course it was the right decision to leave your backpack whole and keep it!

You open the door and go inside. At the far end of the long room above the urinals hanging on the wall, you can make out a note stuck to the wall.

You walk quickly towards it. When you almost reach it, you hear the door close behind you and you hear a voice say,

"Really, really too bad for you!" Startled, you turn around. It's Nadia and her friends.

One of the friends has what didn't fly off the bus before carefully folded on her arm. Because you are carrying your backpack on your back as usual, she immediately recognizes that you have not followed her instructions.

Hateful, she looks at you and you get scared.

"First of all, give me back the shoes you stole from me!" She says.

"I didn't steal them from you! They're my shoes that you threw out the window!" Says you.

"You gave them to me! What I do with my stuff is none of your business!" Then she looks at the pile of your clothes and says.

"My two friends here, told me to give you your clothes back if you did the backpack thing. And I went along with it" Then she grins widely and gives you an even nastier look and says.

"But you wouldn't listen! So you're not getting your stuff back either."

You get scared. Even more scared than before.

"Disobedient nerd," they both say as if from the same mouth, shaking their heads.

You realize that you'd better not upset Nadia any further right now, and say.

"Please, surely we can work something out. I'll give you back the shoes, too!" You suggest.

Nadia just nods and you start opening your shoes.

When you're out of the first one, you notice on your foot how cold and wet the floor is, but you take off the second one as well.

"Come on, bring them here!" Says Nadia. You pick up your shoes and bring them over to Nadia.

But she doesn't accept them, instead she points to the pile of your stuff and says.

"Put them on there!" Having just noticed how wet and dirty the floor is, you hesitate. Your pants, on which you would put the shoes, would be ruined.

"Go! Obey!" Says Nadia emphatically.

You forget your reason and put your wet and dirty shoes on your pants.

You look to Nadia, expecting praise for your action.
