Simon gathers his mat from the pile and finds a spot near the wall. 75. He lies down, staring up at the ceiling’s painted clouds. 76. The soft hum of air conditioning, the scent of crayons and Play-Doh, and the quiet breathing of other children surround him. 77.

Simon closes the door carefully, relieved to be alone. 81. After using the toilet, he washes his hands, tracing the frothy soap bubbles around his fingers. 82.

Desperate to escape, Simon pushes his whole body into the door—and passes through effortlessly, like a ghost. 96. For a moment, Simon stands stunned, just outside the classroom, a few feet to the left, facing down the long hallway. 97. The hallway is deserted; lockers line the far wall and sunlight streams through the windows. 98. Simon calls out again, but not a soul turns their head in his direction. 99. Meanwhile, inside the classroom, Mrs. Lewis stirs and wakes, surveying her class. 100. She counts the sleeping children, making sure everyone is accounted for before deciding to let nap time run for another thirty minutes. 101. Mrs. Lewis sighs quietly, feeling the urge to use the bathroom herself. 102. She debates silently about using the in-class bathroom but prefers the faculty one down the hall. 103. Quietly to herself, she says, “Not meant to leave them alone, but I’ll be back so fast no one will notice.” 104. Mrs. Lewis walks softly, trying to avoid loud steps with her flip-flops until she steps outside the classroom door. 105. She gently closes the classroom door behind her, then quickens her pace, her flip-flops clopping much louder against the linoleum floor. 106.

Simon turns around in frustration, gazing at his classroom door and feeling utterly helpless. 110. Mrs. Lewis emerges from the bathroom, still adjusting her jacket, speed-walking back toward her classroom. 111. As she approaches, another teacher—a younger woman in a blue cardigan—calls out to her. 112. “Mrs. Lewis, why aren’t you in your classroom? Is everything alright?” 113. Mrs. Lewis straightens her glasses and explains, “Needed a quick bathroom break. I didn’t want to use the student one, it’s so cramped. I’m going straight back—promise!” 114. The other teacher nods but looks doubtful. “Okay, but just so you know, I’ll let the principal know. Rules are rules.” 115. Mrs. Lewis feels anxious but reassures herself, muttering under her breath, “It’s alright, Jessica. You’re doing your best.” 116. She places her hand on the classroom door handle, about to push it open. 117. In that instant, Simon, desperate for help, walks up toward his teacher but trips, propelled forward. 118.

His arms are covered in a floral T-shirt and gray jacket. 129. He feels the jacket’s weight on his shoulders, the fabric stiff and unfamiliar. 130. Looking down further, he sees khaki shorts and adult legs ending in black flip-flops. 131. He wiggles his toes and is startled to see painted nails glinting below. 132. Simon feels a strange heaviness in his body, as if every movement takes thought and effort. 133. He touches his head and feels a bun of black hair, tight and unfamiliar. 134. The world feels taller, wider, and echoes more sharply than before. 135. Simon’s chest tightens as he realizes he is in Mrs. Lewis’s body—an adult form. 136. He turns, stepping through the classroom doorway and catches sight of a long mirror by the entrance. 137. As he gazes into the mirror, he sees Mrs. Lewis’s face staring back. 138. Her deep brown eyes blink in shock behind glasses. 139. Her bun sits perfectly atop her head, framing her features. 140. Simon’s floral shirt fits oddly, the jacket’s sleeves grazing his wrists, slightly short for the wider arms. 141. His shorts pinch at the waist, and his legs look tan and strong, with a hint of freckles scattered across the shins. 142. The black flip-flops feel strange, the floor cool beneath his toes. 143. Simon lifts a hand to his face, watching the fingers curl—so different from his own. 144. He tries to speak, but his voice is thick, adult, strange. 145. His heart pounds; he feels hopeless, unsure of how to act or speak like a teacher. 146. There is no assistant in the room; he is alone with a class of small children. 147. Simon wrings his hands, the unfamiliar sensation of jewelry—a small ring on his pinky—startling him. 148. He stutters, trying to rally himself, and calls out, “Um…uh…uh…kids, j-j-just p-p-play and talk to each other t-t-today… please…” 149. The children look at him, some uncertain, others confused by the change in tone. 150. Simon stands helplessly, hoping they will not ask too many questions. 151. Several children begin to play quietly, passing around blocks and plush toys. 152. Simon sits nervously at Mrs. Lewis’s desk, fidgeting with a pencil. 153. Just as he tries to sort through his swirling thoughts, the teacher from earlier enters briskly. 154. She says, “Jessica, the principal said she wanted to speak with you. I reported you for being outside of class. I’ll be taking over lessons for your students today. Now go.” 155. Under her stern gaze, Simon stands, still uncomfortable and disoriented. 156. He remembers where the principal’s office is from a previous meeting his mother attended. 157. He walks down the hallway, the sound of flip-flops echoing, feeling eyes on him. 158. Every footstep feels awkward, heavy, alien. 159. Simon’s hand shakes as he grabs the doorknob of the principal’s office. 160. Just as he’s about to open the door, he hears frenetic footsteps behind him. 161. The real Mrs. Lewis, wearing Simon’s small body, runs up, her face determined. 162.

All that remains is the knowledge, the sensations, the memories of being Jessica Lewis. 168. The transformation is complete; Mrs. Lewis in Simon’s body walks away, tears glistening in her blue eyes. 169. Jessica—now permanently in her rightful adult body—enters the principal’s office, leaving her previous life behind forever. 170. “Jessica, thank you for coming in,” the principal says, her voice calm but serious. 171. Jessica settles in a chair, folding her hands as the principal continues, “One of the staff saw you leave your students unattended today. I know emergencies happen—but please adhere to our safety policies.” 172. Jessica nods, her lips pursed. “I understand. I… I made a mistake. It won’t happen again.” 173. The principal looks at her with concern. “How are you feeling otherwise, Jessica?” 174. Jessica blinks behind her glasses, her heart pounding, and answers, “A little overwhelmed, but I’ll manage.” 175. The principal nods, “We all have our moments. Please take a minute to compose yourself before returning. I’ll check in later.” 176.

Down the hall, the teachers shuffle around, resetting the classroom after nap time. 178. In room 103, the substitute quietly instructs the children—now unfazed by the change in teaching staff. 179.

The day ends with Jessica locking up the classroom and walking slowly to her car. 198. During her drive, flashes of a life she cannot name—small hands, red shoes, a dinosaur shirt—blink through her mind and vanish. 199. She shakes her head, dismissing them as strange anxieties. 200. That night, Maggie tucks Simon’s blanket into bed, his absence unexplained, a sense of longing she cannot voice deep within her soul. 201.
