I'm waiting for someone to pick me up, and you're my roommate's friend. I try my best to ignore you as I tap my toes, crossing and uncrossing my legs. My shoes are new and tight so I stretch my feet around in them, letting toe by toe slip out as I swish my foot back and forth, rotating my ankles. Finally the shoe drops, and I slip my foot back into it. This happens again. Will I look up at you? Will I catch you staring at me? Are you staring at my feet because they're large and narrow with dangerously high arches?
