Saved by the rip

Sandry's mind raced, she had seconds, maybe less, before the girl would have bent low enough to discover her hiding there...

RIP!

"Eeek! My trousers!"

Sandry's ears pricked up at the sound and the exclamation, followed by the class bursting into laughter.

"Nice bum!"

"Are those Minnie Mouse knickers?!"

"Such a loser!"

And then the teacher calling across them,

"Settle down, class. Chloe, perhaps you should take your seat again, I think we'll leave the rest of the presentation for now."

"Yes, miss, thank you."

Sandry heard the girl hurry away back go her desk and breathed out in relief. She got to stay hidden for a little longer at least.
