The Transsexual Teacher

Greg's feet weighed more than usual as he circled back to her desk. He knew that Ms. Sin was a disciplinarian and he didn't want to get on her bad side.

"Yes, Ms. Sin?"

"Oh, I'm so glad you stayed. Usually when I call out for kids to stick around, they're out the door already. It takes a lot of energy to haul them back here," She laughed. "I want to tell you..."

The bell rang again.

"I'll have my next class here in a minute and you shouldn't be late for another period. Go on. Just come by and see me after school. I'll be here." Her next class started pouring through the doorway. Greg nodded his head that he heard her and slipped out the door.

He asked himself, what was that about? Was she going to chew him out after school? Greg didn't have much time to consider the possibilities before he heard someone call out from the end of the hallway, "Turner!" It was Andy. Greg walked at a faster pace to catch up with his friend through the busy hallway.

"Hey G. What happened? I'm surprised to see you here. I figured Ms. Sin was gonna make an ottoman out of you."

"It's your fault!" Greg shouted at his friend, playfully pushing him, though he didn't feel like fun and games. He was just mad at Andy. "She wants to see me after school."

"Oh man. That sucks. I bet she wants to lay into you without kids walking in."

"You think so?" Greg muttered.

There was no answer. Greg glanced out and realized Andy had already walked away to catch his next class. Greg still had a few minutes to catch his class. Greg kicked himself into high gear and ran to his next class, making it just in time.

The hours rolled by slowly. Greg and Andy caught up at lunch and brainstormed over the after school meeting with Ms. Sin. Greg could always say he felt sick if he had to. His afternoon classes went by faster. Even an interesting science class couldn't take his mind off the incident in health though.

The final bell rang and while all the kids rushed through the building and out the doors, Greg walked slowly, killing time. Greg really did feel sick by the time he made it to the health class door. It read: Ms. Sin Room 96 Health Class
