After staring at the shoes and touching them ever so lightly, she had to figure out a place to put them. Someplace safe, not only from someone finding them but also for the shoes. She was mesmerized by them and didn’t want them to get dirty. Hiding something in your room was problematic. Kayley had seen searches before when things were stolen … She couldn’t risk being caught. She bounced her knee up and down and racked her brain for the solution. And then she figured it out. The best hiding place was in plain sight. She had slippers shaped like sushi that were plush and huge. She’d put one shoe in each slipper. The shoes would stay pristine, and if anyone decided to do a search, who would check the sushi slippers? She swore, as she tucked the hidden shoes away in her closet, that she felt an extra little charge. Maybe today would be a good day for dancing. She glanced up at the clock: five thirty. She might as well go to class now and do a good warm-up. And anyway, she was dying to see if there was any effect.
