Intro

Nick got up today, like any other day. He got himself together, working through the morning tiredness and getting ready for the day. Once he was fully dressed, he was ready to tackle the day. It was a regular week day, and Nick wasn’t overly excited for the day. Little did he know that today would be one that he wouldn’t soon forget.

There were many things that Nick was planning to do today. He had a few classes throughout the day that he needed to attend. They were all across campus this term and they were also in various subjects. He has a music appreciation class and a political science class. He also wanted to go to the library later on so he could do a bit of studying and homework.

But for today, the library was on the top of his list of things to do.

Story Start

Nick went to the in order to print some papers, mainly printing out homework and class notes, because Nick always thought it was pointless to own his own printer when the library offered printing services for all students.

Once he made it into the building, he began to feel dizzy and light headed. He went to one of the working stations on the second floor, so he could sit down and figure out what was wrong. Then he blacked out! When he came to, everything looked weird. He didn’t feel lightheaded anymore, but he still felt uneasy for some reason that he couldn’t readily explain.

He took a look around and he saw some huge wooden walls on every side of him, but they were way too far away for it to be in the library. Then he turned around and saw something that he couldn’t believe. He saw the chair he sat down in, except it was impossibly gigantic! Did he shrink? Was this a bad dream? He wasn’t too sure. He also couldn’t really tell how big (or small, to more accurate) he was. Luckily his bag was right next to him, so it seems like it shrunk with him.

He thought it be a good idea to look around, and see if he could find anyone to help him out. He could also try and go down to the first floor and attempt to get some help from there. Nick knew that a few of his friends were working on this floor, so he could attempt to approach one of them. They were bound to help him out, as long as he could get their attention. Although, to be fair, Nick couldn’t be totally certain that his friends would be willing to help him, because he’d never know if they had a side of them that he’d never expect.

The first person was Alena Scarea. She is a moderately tall 21 year old Middle Eastern girl; although even though her family was from Turkey, both of her parents were born and grew up in the United States. Alena grew up in New York City, and she identifies much more as an American than as a Turkish or Middle Eastern person. But she is interested in learning a bit more about her heritage, and she wouldn’t mind getting to see some areas in Turkey at some point in her life.

She is about 5’9” and is of a slender build. She has dark black hair and a lightly tan skin complexion. She has light brown eyes. She was wearing a bright turquoise dress and a pair of tan flats, without any socks. She was also the same age as Nick. He knew her from one of his history electives. She always had a graceful demeanor to her, and she didn’t mind helping him out when he needed it. She was an Anthropology Major and Nick was an Engineering Major, so she had a lot more experience in the social sciences.

Even though he found this specific history class to be interesting, he still had trouble with the specifics of the class. She was also a great choice because of how kind and gentle she was. There was no way she’d ever think of mistreating or taking advantage of him while he was in this shrunken state. Of course, Nick would first have to gain her attention before she could start helping him.

The second person was Tanya Deshmukh. Tanya and Nick were friends since a few years back, since she took American History I as an elective right when Nick had to take it his freshman year, for a humanities requirement. They met during that class, and it was awkward at first for Nick, because she was so attractive (keeping in mind this was first term Freshman Nick) and she was already an upperclassmen.

Nick was able to ease away some of that early nervousness by asking for her advice on most university things, and Tanya thought it was hilariously adorable that he was so nervous around her. They were able to become friends by the end of the term, and remained so ever since. And, as it turns out, she was the only other person who knows about Nick’s fascination with women’s feet, which would make seeking her out more interesting at least.

She was always a goofy person, and could always find strange and creative solutions to common problems. That also made her do more crazy and wacky things for entertainment, just so she could say that she did them, and Nick knew that hanging out with her was an experience in of itself. She was also a bit ditzy, both in a forgetful way and in an oblivious way. She would be hard pressed to notice if someone liked her in a romantic way. So if Nick was concerned with finding a responsible person to take care of him, then Tanya would sadly be the wrong choice.

She is a tallish, 23 year old Indian American woman, who grew up in Southern California. She was fortunate enough to be able to travel to India with her family a few years ago, during her summer vacation. It was a good experience for her, and it allowed her to feel a bit more connected to her heritage.

She stands at about 5’11”. She has dark black hair, which she wears in a ponytail, and a lighter tan complexion. She used to have somewhat darker skin, and she assumes that being away from the California sun caused her to lose some of her tan recently. Her most noticeable feature is her piercing turquoise eyes. She wore slim black jeans and a multi-colored polo shirt. She also was wearing bright green ankle socks, where the right sock had a small hole between her 2nd and 3rd toes. She had a shoe size of 11.

The third person was Ayana Traore. Ayana was an economics major who had a few classes with Nick in the past. They both were able to bond over the similarities between their two majors, and helped each other with their respective weaknesses. They got along fairly well, although she would frequently make size jokes with him, since she was a full head taller than Nick, standing at an incredible 6’3”.

She is an African who has dark black skin, brown eyes, and black hair that she wears in a long pony tail. Ayana was wearing a dark blue collared shirt and a light blue sweater on top, with a pair of navy blue jeans that went to her upper ankles. She was wearing a pair of shiny cream colored flats, and her feet were an impressive size 12.

There was also a fourth person working at the library that Nick was acquainted with. Her name was Allison Kim. Nick didn’t know Allison all that well; they only shared a class one time, but she always seemed nice. She is a Junior General Business major, and Nick was surprised that they've only shared one class so far, although their university had a large Business college, which would have explained it.

She spends a lot of time at the library, working on homework and studying for exams. She is an Asian woman and is 22 years old. She is a very tall girl, standing at 6’2”. She also has large and long feet, which do slightly embarrass her, but it doesn’t keep her from wearing a variety of footwear.

But even still, Nick knows that Allison is pretty self-conscious of her height and shoe size, because some think of it as not as ‘feminine’, whatever that really means. Nick has complimented her on her height on more than one occasion, and it always seems to put a smile on her face, which probably means that not very many people actually compliment her about her height. They were a very large size 14, and they were long enough that she would need to be very picky whenever she would get new shoes.

She has dark brown hair, which she wears in a tall pony tail that goes half-way down her back. Today, she was wearing a white blouse shirt and a light blue dress. She was also wearing a pair of fancy tan flats. She also had a pair of small silver colored earrings.
