Lauren had found herself sitting in the classroom of Ms. Tran sitting at her usual seat when Mary Elliot walked in and spoke to Lonna who was sitting at the teachers' desk.
“Ms. Rodriguez, why are you sitting there dressed like that? You are not a teacher take your usual seat before your teacher gets here.”
She heard Mary say to Lonna. Lauren sat there in shock as Mary began to tear off the outfit that Lonna was wearing. Off went the dark blue button-down. Followed by the black pencil skirt and lastly the black heels.
Lauren tried to avoid looking over at Lonna thinking that she was now standing there naked but when she looked over, she found that she was dressed in a grey V-neck and jeans. The same outfit that Lauren herself had been wearing at the beginning of that very strange day.
“Much better Ms. Rodriguez now take your seat and we will say no more about this shall we.”
Mary then turned to look at Lauren. “Ah, Ms. Tran I didn’t see you there. Why are you dressed like a student? Please put on your clothes. I will help you” Mary said to her. Before Lauren had a chance to say no Mrs. Elliott her Assistant Principal had dressed her in the outfit she had just stripped Lonna of, no that wasn’t right it was Mrs. Elliott her friend, had just made sure that everything was the way that it was supposed to be that was right, wasn’t it.
Just as that thought had entered Lauren’s mind for the second time inside twenty-four hours the bell rang to signal the end of the lesson. With that sound, Lauren’s thoughts returned to the present. “Ok class make sure you read the next two chapters of the texts and I will have the results of the quiz ready for you by the next lesson,” Lauren announced to the assembled students sounding every inch the teacher she appeared to be.
