Ms. Stern remembered when she took Swap Class in her freshman year of college. Back in those days, you were paired up with another student and told to report back at a scheduled time. It gave you and your partner the opportunity to get to know one another a little bit before you swapping bodies with them.
Now that she was the teacher, the technology had advanced. She simply pressed a buttonin the front of class, switching all her students. It allowed for swaps to be between three (or more) students, but the real benefit was the instant nature of it all. Of course, that meant that no one knew who they would swap with, and the students couldn’treally prepare. Fights would often break out.
She hoped this year would be different. For a moment, she thought it would be, as the class was unusually silent right after the swap. But then the arguments all started with one quiet feminine whisper.
“I can’t believe I’m wearing a skirt,” A nerdy student named Todd managed to eke out when he found himself in the body of an Asian female named Ai.
Ai, who was now in the body of a black male named Daniel, shouted at Todd, “You’re a guy, aren’t you? Ew! I thought I’d swap with another girl! You better not do anything weird to my body!”
“Yeah, you better not do anything weird to my girlfriend’s body!” The female next to Ai shouted, who was actually Ai’s boyfriend, Tyler.
It took Ms. Stern ten minutes to get everyone to calm down, which only started up again once another student made another quiet observation aboot their new body.
