Kate hovered to school in her brand-new hover-shoes. She'd hovered everywhere, since she'd gotten her hover-shoes. A lot of people at her school had hover-shoes. Everyone loved hover-shoes.

Kate spotted several other people hovering, in their hover-shoes. Hover shoes were all the rage. Wherever Kate looked, she saw people hovering.

Kate pulled off her hover-shoes, and studied them fondly. Her hover-shoes were made of shiny metal; the laces were of a normal fabric, which embarrassed Kate. Everyone else had fancy laces, on their hover-shoes.

But, still . . .

'I like my hover-shoes,' thought Kate.
