Sonia dragged a chair up to the teacher's desk as the class split up, while Jon took a seat behind the desk. He tucked a strand of his long dark hair behind his ear as he did so, and turned to address Sonia with a nervous grin, "How did I do?"
"Really well," Sonia admitted, "I actually have to admit I'm a little surprised. You seem to have really dived into the material. How did the rest of your classes go?"
Jon let out a musical laugh, "pretty well, I think. I'm still working on fully picking up you're fluency, but no body called me out on it today. It's kind of fun, teaching." He found he really enjoyed the way everyone payed attention to him, and hung on his words that day. Some of that was due to being the teacher, but another component of it was likely down to how attractive and charismatic Sonia was; he hadn't fully picked up the latter quality, but the former was certainly there. Either way, as Jon he had a tendency to fade into the background, and it was nice to experience the reverse.
"I'm glad you think so," Sonia said neutrally. She wasn't enjoying her return to being a student in the same way Jon seemed to be liking his chance to be the teacher, but she was keeping it to herself. She always encouraged her students to not speak negatively about the lives of their partners, and she was going to practice what she preached. "I told your mom I had a group project I needed to work on tomorrow afternoon, so I can come by my place to help prep you for seeing my sister and Bella coming home." These little sessions in class were helpful, but Jon was likely going to need more assistance for learning how to handle the additional responsibilities that came with Sonia's life.
"That sounds wonderful," Jon replied, while twisting the slim lady's watch on his wrist to check how much time they had left in class, "I'll do as much as a I can on my own tonight, but some one on one instruction would be very helpful." He was equal parts worried and excited about Sonia's wife getting back to town. On the one hand, he was going to be sleeping in the same bed, and hopefully doing other things with a woman he'd harbored a minor crush on for some time, but on the other, that was a very close relationship to have to bluff. Also, given Sonia's book was written some time ago, when the couple were still just engaged, he was sure there were a lot of details he needed to know.
"Okay, I'm coming home tonight to teach you how to do my makeup and lay out some outfits for you," Sarah declared a few minutes into their partner time, "I can't have you tanking my popularity the same semester as prom."
"Uh, you have chess club this afternoon," Larry said awkwardly.
Sarah rolled her eyes in a very un-Larry like fashion, "then I'll sneak over after chess club. Daddy's on a business trip and Mom's at the spa till the end of the week, so you should be able to sneak me in via the second back door. That's how I sneak Biffie in. Just make sure the butler's not hovering around there."
Larry nodded, his lovely golden hair swaying as he did so. "Super. Uh, speaking of Biff, he asked me to go out to the Royal on Friday. I might need you to talk me through what you do on a date." Larry had exactly zero experience dating but was now half of the biggest power couple at Lakeview Academy.
Sarah placed a hand to her new pimpley forehead, she had her work cut out for her to whip Larry into shape.
"You got practice today," Mike Matthews grunted from Jay's body. "Don't make me look like a pussy."
Jay sneered, "Fine. Just don't forget to practice on my board. If you show up at the skate park unable to ride, you're going to ruin my reputation."
"What reputation?" Mike snorted.
Jay leaned forward flexing his new bicep in a perfect imitation of how Mike liked to intimidate people; he'd know, he'd been on the other end of it dozens of times. "What was that?"
Mike seemed to suddenly take in that he was no longer the 6'3 260 pound slab of beef in this relationship and squeaked, "uh, nothing."
"I must say, I'm looking forward to the first swim team practice tomorrow," Leonard said from Elizabeth's body. "I practiced a bit in your pool yesterday, and my form improved massively in only a few hours, with just some youtube videos for reference. Ms. Esposito seems to be correct regarding the retracing of neural pathways, this technology is fascinating." Leonard hadn't been as daring as Jon in his first full day as a girl, but did look rather nice in a black turtleneck sweater and tan slacks, his long brunette hair properly brushed.
"Oh, that's good..." Elizabeth offered from Leonard's much larger body. As someone who'd always prided herself on her athleticism, she was less than excited to be in Leonard's out of shape and inflexible form. "I needed to ask, your mom mentioned some sort of important dinner later this week. What is that?"
"Ah, that'll be the celebration dinner for my cousin Kelsey. She just got accepted to Law School; you shouldn't need to do too much, just find the nice collared shirt in my closet. There's notes on my extended family somewhere in my book," Leonard explained, "Speaking of questions, your friend Andrea asked me if we were still on for this weekend. I said yes, but I don't really know what I was agreeing to." Andrea was Elizabeth's best friend.
Elizabeth frowned a little, "Oh, we were going to go out on the lake with some friends this Saturday. Andie's family has a yacht and a couple of jet skis," she'd been looking forward to that.
