For whatever reason, after I got dressed, I couldn’t find a pair of tights to wear under my skirt. It was optional to wear tights under my skirt but I’m not a fan of feeling breezes between my legs. It was almost time for me to meet the school bus a ways from home so I grabbed what was closest to me. My ankle length pajama pants. I’ve rolled up pants before to wear under my skirt but they weren’t ever that long. I figured that it would stay up and I went about my day.

During one of my classes I realized that my rolled pants were coming undone and nothing I did got it back to how it was. I desperately asked my classmates for any rubber band to put around my thigh to keep the pants up. They were very curious and pressured me to say why I needed one so bad. There’s no way in hell I was gonna do that. After a few minutes of friendly teasing I got a decently sized rubber band. After class I waddled slowly to the bathroom so that the pant legs won’t roll down. I managed to get the rubber band around my thigh and it secured the pant leg. But I had one problem. I only had ONE rubber band. I had two pant legs. I struggled for a bit and fought with it but i eventually got it to fold snugly and not move. I continued with my day walking on eggshells so that I won’t move the pant leg.

School finally ended and by the time I got outside, by bus was already leaving the compound. I panicked and sprinted down the street chasing after the bus. As I ran I felt a tickle on my leg. What was it? I looked down and was mortified to see the sole neon green cherry printed pajama pant leg at it’s full length. Everyone leaving school saw it. Nothing I could do. I didn’t have 30$ to travel home. I continued running and got onto the bus. Before I stepped in I pulled up the pesky leg to avoid any embarrassment. If anyone saw it, God bless them for not saying anything. I fixed it again while I was in my bus on a single seat. Never again bruh. I’ve learnt my lesson💀

TL;DR : Pajama pants are not good substitutes for school tights
