"Wishes don't just become reality." Lonna said.
"Then how to you explain this?" Lauren said as she gestured towards the mirror. Lonna looked back towards the mirror and saw her proper self pointing at it. As much as she didn't like admitting that she was wrong, she had to accept that she somehow switched places with one of her least favorite students. Lonna crossed her arms under her chest and watched the reflection of Lauren Rodriguez in the mirror copy her movements perfectly. Even the facial expressions she had were being properly reflected by her Lauren doppelganger in the mirror.
"What are we going to do Ms. Tran?" Lauren asked as she turned away from the mirror and towards her chemistry teacher. Lauren wasn't thrilled to somehow be turned into a teacher. More specifically, one of her least favorite teachers. If she knew about this wish and had to pick somebody to switch places with, she would have rather chosen the popular Anna Paulson or the wealthy Miranda Stewart instead of her crabby Asian chemistry teacher. Lauren didn't think she was bad looking for a woman her age, but the last thing a high school senior like her wanted was to be old and stuck teaching in a school that she hated. Especially teaching chemistry. Lauren considered herself lucky to barely hold a "C" right now in this class.
Lonna quickly realized that she still needed to teach her last class for the day. Though she couldn't possibly do that now since she looked like one of her own students. "You need to teach my class. It's supposed to start any minute." Lonna said.
"I can't teach chemistry! I can't even pass it without borrowing other people's work." Lauren explained.
After hearing that, Lonna Tran did a double take. "I knew you had to be cheating! When we switch back, I'm going to make you retake every quiz from this semester!" she threatened to Lauren.
"If I end up teaching your classes, you'll probably get fired." Lauren countered.
"Today should be easy. I have a brief lesson plan on my desk and a quiz to give out. Hand out the quiz which should take most of the class and refer to my notes. After school we will figure out how to reverse this." Lonna said as she gestured to the juvenile clothing she now wore.
"I got a test in a few minutes for history with Mr. Murray. I'm almost in the "B" range. Don't screw this up for me Ms. Tran!" Lauren said in an attempt to lecture her teacher.
She thought about suggesting that they both try wishing to be each other again but something in the back of her mind told her that this was the break she was looking for. Although Lonna wouldn't admit it, she was secretly happy that this errant wish just gave her the opportunity to take a break from her stressful life and herself. She knew that she would eventually need to find a way to reverse this. But hopefully for the she could at least for a couple days enjoy being a slacking teenager without any responsibilities. Lauren wouldn't be able to do her job for long, but Lonna figured that with her help, she could make it long enough for Lonna to enjoy some time off.
"Travis is a great teacher. I shouldn't have any problems with him." Lonna said.
"It's Mr. Murray right now. He won't see you as another teacher. Please... I'm serious. Don't screw this up." Lauren said.
"I graduated college young lady. I can do some basic high school history without sweating. Stay in my classroom and I'll meet you there after school." Lonna said as she unlocked the door and left to go to Lauren's last class for the day.
Lauren turned back to the mirror and saw a worried Ms. Tran staring back. "God this is so weird." she said at her mismatched reflection before stepping out and heading to Ms. Trans... her classroom.
