Kayla groaned inwardly and shook her head, now they had to stand again. She rose from her chair and tried to push the chair back with her weight but the dress kept getting in the way. She lifted her leg up and gave it a swift quick with her foot and sent it skidding about six feet away and it crashing to the floor. "Woops...I guess that's not how you do it" she said trying not to laugh as she went and retrieved the chair and put it back in it's place.
