>Be me >A few years ago >Junior year of highschool. Have no friends >One day I go to the movies alone >Theater is almost empty. Sit in the middle >A group of three girls comes in just as the movie is about to start >Probably about a year younger than me. All talking and giggling >They pick the row behind mine and sit directly behind me for some reason >Try to ignore them, but they are whispering and laughing a lot >Social anxiety is going crazy. Don't want to confront them >Movie finally starts. Hope that they will finally shut up >They keep whispering, but are quieter about it >A few minutes in, the girl directly behinds me puts her feet on the back of my chair >Feel the bottom of her shoes touch my shoulder >Turn around so she notices me >She keeps looking at the movie screen, pretends she doesn't see me >See her friends stifling laughter >Turn back around and slouch down in my chair so we aren't touching >A few minutes go buy, then she stretches out her legs so her ratty sneakers are on either side of my head >Can literally smell this girls' shoes a few inches from my face >Her friends start giggling >Slouch further down in my seat, embarrassed >Just try to ignore her, even though I can see her sneakers in my peripheral vision >About 10 minutes go by >The girls obviously aren't even watching the movie. Just whispering to each other >Girl behind me finally takes her feet down >More whispering and giggling >Suddenly she puts her feet back, but now she's not wearing shoes. Just little pink socks >Can smell her foot sweat >Can't slouch down any further to escape it >The girls laugh even harder >She moves her feet an inch from either side of my face, knowing I won't do anything about it >Watch the rest of the movie humiliated while forced to smell this girls' feet >At end of the movie I pretend nothing happened and leave
