A week before returning to school, I'm sitting in a bar, forced to be here by my friends' persistent nagging. Being in a busy district packed with bars and clubs, the atmosphere is loud and chaotic.

About an hour has passed, and just as I'm thinking of leaving, something suddenly drops right in front of me and lands on my lap. I feel a soft sensation on my thighs, and a weight that feels almost cute to someone of my size.

Despite the startling situation, I don't even blink, asking in a blunt tone.

Is this some new pick-up tactic?
