[Team Story]

Makayla

Makayla found herself in an alleyway that reeked of month-old food and kneepads. It took her eyes a while to adjust to the dark, dank alley, as the only source of light was a buzzing streetlight that flickered within the darkness. As she began to make her way out of the alley, something small and hairy brushed past her ankle. She screamed and jumped into the air, her knees basically to her chest, as a rat scurried into a pile of garbage.

"Ew, ew, ew, ew, ew..." she said to herself through the ragged breaths the adrenaline rush had left her with. She hopelessly rubbed her ankles, trying to remove the sensation of the rat brushing up against her ankles from her skin. She then heard a squeak coming from behind her. She squealed once more and took off running for the streetlight.

Once she finally broke-free of the eerie darkness of the alley, Makayla was hit with the reality that she had no idea where she was. She looked to her right to see a saloon with tattooed bikers and a small, sketchy Chinese take-out restaurant. Not wanting to go anywhere near those places, she decided to head towards the center of the city, where the sky seemed to glow with a yellowish light. As she took a step in the direction she chose, a squeak came from her feet. She froze with terror and slowly looked down, expecting to see another disgusting rat. Instead she saw that it was her shoes that had made the noise. They were round and rubber-like with holes on the tops. Fascinated, she looked even closer to find a little crocodile logo on the side. Makayla shrugged at the interesting choice of shoes she didn't remember making and continued towards the brightly lit part of the city, her shoes occasionally squeaking along the way.

Makayla is OBSESSED with Crocs and even wanted the whole team to wear them (I can assure you that didn't happen), so the indirect description of her shoes is a tribute to them.
