"Ugh, I can't believe teenage boys," she said, "Sometimes I wish all these students would just grow up."
She felt compelled to close her eyes and a moment later, she opened to see that everything was different, in subtle ways. The male students who had turned away looked very different and even from the back it was obvious that they were senior citizens. One of them had a walker. The football field visible outside the window in the hallway was gone, and in its place was a pond with benches. The poster saying 'Vote for Aaron for class representative' now announced the schedule for movie night.
It was plain as day what had happened. The whole school had turned into...according to the sign...the Lake Point Retirement Village - An Assisted Living Community! She must have been dreaming, but she pinched herself and felt the pain. It was all real!
Miss Robertson said "Excuse me" to one of the two old men, who had used to be boys.
"Yes, Nurse Robertson?" One of the boys was staring at Miss Robertson's chest.
"Do you, er, feel any different?"
"What are you talking about? You're not that new here any more. We've gotten used to you being here."
"Thanks," she said. They hadn't even noticed anything had changed!
The geriatrics turned away and left again, but she could make out one of them saying "Wow, look at those tits." Sheesh, she thought, the most bizarre thing in the world happened and still that didn't make them any better behaved.
Meanwhile, Karyn and Jon were looking all over for the rock. When they had just about given up, and were getting ready to sit down and rest, they passed Nurse Robertson in the hall and Jon noticed that Miss Robertson was holding it!
"Karyn," he said, "Miss Robertson has the stone! We have to get it back somehow. Who knows what she might have done with it already...We could miss out on our chance to wish to be young again..."
