They offer help

You watch, from your cramped position under one of the schoolbus seats, the shiny black pairs of strapover shoes as they head up the walkway.

'Nothing good can come of this', you fear, as you watch the two pair of feet that belong to your tormentors slip into the gap between the seat you are under and the seat directly behind you. So far, the brunette on the seat above you seems oblivious to their presence. Maybe Anya and Kerry have actually come to your rescue! You listen intently at what might be said.

"Hi Marce!" you hear each greet their classmate.

You don't hear anything in response, and wonder what is going on.

Looking at the devious duo's feet, it seems they are standing to each side of the seated girl.

"Listen, Marce," you hear Anya start in a hushed tone. She must be leaning close to the seated brunette for you to be able to hear her so well. We just thought you should know.. that geek Paulie is under your seat, trying to look under your skirt!"

'So much for being helped by those two', you sigh to yourself. You hear nothing but stunned silence.

"Don't worry, we'll help you out!" says Kerry softly to the seated girl as you see the pretty brunette's legs pull together.
