She cursed under her breath as she approached his feet; the smell made her go light-headed and she even tried pinching her nose. The final sheet was up there, evidently thrown up by a gust of air when he moved his feet… or maybe when he planted them on the floor… she wasn’t sure. It was there. She went on her tiptoes, thrust her arm upwards, but was several inches short. “Fuck”, she repeated under her breath, “fuck, fuck!”. She tried jumping, but still couldn’t get it. The sole could come down any moment now…
She jumped, again and again, and then on landing she lost her balance and fell forwards, face first into his rough heel, and that finally sparked some activity from him as his soles both leaned forward. A fleshy ceiling came onto her head and she screamed, sure she was about to be crushed. Automatically, she threw out her hand and grasped at the test sheet. Her fingers caught the corner of the paper.
It was slick with sweat and she lost it as quickly as she got it. The next moment, the feet pulled away to go back into the slippers, and the sheet of paper remained there, buried under tons of foot flesh.
Audrey’s never felt more defeated.

Later, when all tests were collected, Audrey once again found herself on top of Matt’s desk. She contemplated telling him about her experience, then decided it didn’t matter anymore.
“Don’t pinch me so hard”, she complained to him. “It’s like you’re trying to break my ribs”.
“I’m not”, Matt smiled. “It’s hard to judge with you tinies”.
She scoffed.
“Also, your feet fucking stink”, she noted. “No idea how Leslie even touches these things”.
“Oh yeah?” he replied as he reclined in his chair and looked around. People have mostly left the class. The two of them were waiting for Leslie to come and pick up Audrey. He gave her a devious smile and swung his legs up onto the desk, bare feet in all their glory again, the test sheet still visible. She groaned as the meaty behemoths settled on the desk next to her. That was how Leslie found them, and Audrey’s hope for some support was in vain since her friend thought that the sight of tiny little Audrey next to her boyfriend’s feet was somehow very funny.
