For the “New” Ms Tran lunchtime moved slowly. She had gone back to her classroom to spend it. She wasn’t up to spending it with her fellow teachers just yet. She sat there trying to think of where she had last seen Lauren’s (her) stone.
No, it wasn’t Lauren’s stone it belonged to her Lonna Tran. The thought made her shudder from just a second she had thought she was Lonna and not Lauren she needed to do something about this and soon she thought to herself as she sat stroking her long black hair. But there was nothing she could do. School had a few hours until it let out so she was stuck there until Lauren came back so they could work out what to do next.
Before she had realised that she had not had her lunch because she had spent so much time trying to work out what to do the bell went to signal the end of lunch and the start of the afternoon. The afternoon passed slowly for both women as they had noticed during lunch the changes had not stopped at their outfits.
They had both noticed that their bodies were changing as well. The “New” Lauren had just about got used to her new height and hair. The “New” Lonna had decided she did not like being as short as she now was even with heels on. It had been awkward when her former boyfriend turned pupil turned up for a lesson. She had forgotten that he was in her class. However, after a few minutes he was just another pupil. Any romantic feelings she had once had for him had departed her. It would not be right for her a teacher to think of him like that. He was Lauren’s boyfriend and not Lonna’s.
The bell once more to signal the end of another lesson. Not for the first time that day the two young women at opposite ends of the school had the same thought pop into their heads. Free Period.
