As I was submitting this I realized that I spelt surprise wrong :P

With the end of her final semester at college came the time when Maggie had to pack. Having lived in one of their dorms she had to ensure she had everything before leaving. The whole process went faster than she expected, though that made sense.

She had purposely brought only the necessities to the school, to make a day like this go as smoothly as possible. With her closet and most everything else in her room packed up, she just had one more area to check, underneath her bed.

As she knelt down to peer under it she was met with a surprise. There was nothing down there, save for a lone pair of Converse. They had seen better days, now they were visibly worn out and dirty. As she looked over the shoes she suddenly remembered why she had kept them this long.

Right then and there she kicked off her flats and brought the pair to a nearby table. She set the right shoe on the table before jamming her foot into the left one. As soon as she did the mental connection between the two lit up. It had been quite a while since it had.

Waiting for it to truly settle in, she tried to think of what to say to her. Should she be nice to her, slow, comforting, rather normal? She decided the latter. “So, um, well. I don’t really know what to say, I guess, uh, nice to see you again.” A moment later she was met with a slew of curses.

Maggie couldn’t blame her though, she had been a pair of shoes for nearly five years. It was her senior year of high school when it all went down. Back then, she had been quite a bitch. She was quite popular, though that came with stepping on people’s toes, not even teachers were safe from her.

That was the case with Ms. Hayes. Having transformed her so long ago she was a bit fuzzy on the exact details, but she was pretty sure that she had transformed her because of a bad grade. That didn’t matter though, she had been wanting to transform her for a while.

So, she transformed her teacher into a pair of sneakers. After that, she had worn her quite heavily, from them up until maybe the end of her first semester in college. By the end of that second semester, she had begun to wear her intermittently. She figured she needed a break.

Spending almost an entire year at some woman’s feet, constantly tasting them, smelling them, and gulping bucketloads of her sweat must’ve been torture. That and she had sort of forgotten who her shoes were. By the end of her third year there she had forgotten about the transformed teacher.

Now, over a year later she had found her again. It was almost nostalgic to see her again. For a brief moment she thought about transforming her back but it was too late for that. For one her spell made it so that only Maggie would remember that she used to even exist.

Over four years later the world had changed so much that it would be almost impossible to get the teacher back into her life. So, with nothing better to do, she decided to keep her just as she was. Now that she found her again she planned to wear her as often as she could, she was really comfortable after all.
