The last period before lunch was science class, and today there was a lab. Mrs. Lane was one of the few African-American teachers in the old reality, and given that the teachers hadn't changed, she probably hadn't either, Sa'Rhonda thought as she headed into class.
But the reason she was so excited for science wasn't the chemistry lab. It was La'Shawndra Jones, or whatever she turned into.
Sure enough, while Sa'Rhonda sat down, a white girl "”' something rare in "Black Point" "” strolled by and sat a few rows away. She glared, but soon she turned to unpack her stuff. Class started, and Mrs. Lane had a few words before everyone got off to the lab.
"I'm going to assign your groups for today's lab..." Ruh-roh, Sa'Rhonda thought. "Group 1: Sapphire Levine, Da'Quan Bryant, Thomas Williams and Daniel Alexander. Group 2: Samantha Berry, Shauna Jones, Ka'mesha Nicole..." Sarah took a breath. "...and Sa'Rhonda McMillan." Only one word ran through Sa'Rhonda's mind.
Dayum. She reluctantly shuffled over to the lab station, where a set of materials and equipment was already in place for Group 2.
