Darren, Hannah, and Misaki now found themselves in class awaiting their teacher. After some initial introductions Misaki now found herself sitting with both her friends in the back of the class.
"Wait your telling me some of the teachers here used to be old," Misaki whispered in shock.
"Yeah I didnt believe it either," Hannah shrugged. "But Darren says they used to be old, like real old."
"Wow," Misaki gasped. "That's incredible, not for nothing but your school is world famous now. Even in Japan we heard about the school that had teenage teachers."
Darren smirked, he hadn't realized he had altered things to such an extent that his middle school was world famous. He now wondered if perhaps these changes were the reason those soldiers had attacked the other day.
As the day passed Misaki continued to comment on the teachers Darren transformed. From Gail to Stella to Pam to Hazel and even Ewart, Misaki was truely amazed how skilled the faculty was.
After lunch, Darren had two classes remaining, Gym and Science. Ewart now stood before the Gym class, saying they would be playing basketball today. Darren wasn't a bad player and after finding himself teamed with Bob, his team was easily winning.
Bob and Darren now found themselves on defense, watching as the other team missed a jump shot. Bob quickly rebounded, seeing Darren sprint towards the other basket. Bob now rocketed a pass to Darren, who smirked as he realized he had an easy layup. Or so he thought.
Brad Stanley, Darren's personal bully, had sprinted after Darren. Leaping into the air Brad contested the layup delivering a hard and blatant foul to him. Darren collapsed his nose throbbing in pain.
"Intentional foul," Ewart bellowed. Darren's eyes watered from the pain. Looking up he could see Brad grinning as a now shorter Ewart got in his face. "Take a seat Stanley," Ewart ordered. "That's not how we do things in my class!"
"What just playing hard coach," Brad smirked. Ewart furrowed his brow, pointing towards the bleachers as he now turned to Darren. "You okay McKenna?"
Darren now took Ewarts hand as the teacher helped him up. Touching his nose, Darren could see a small amount of blood on his hand. "I think so," he said.
Ewart examined Darren closely sighing. "Better have Nurse Rakesh take a look at that Darren." Darren nodded, making his way towards the nurses office as Ewart returned to class.
Entering the nurses office, Darren could see the elderly nurse Rakesh approach. The Indian woman was well into her 60s, her hair tied into a tight bun. "Gym class," she asked, to which Darren nodded.
Nurse Rakesh sighed, turning on a small lamp as she put her glasses on. "I keep telling Ewart to not push you all so hard," she said. "I swear he may be a genius but sometimes he lacks common sense." Darren chuckled, Nurse Rakesh was a kind woman with a bit of a fiery temperament like Hannah. The way she talked about Ewart he now began to wonder.
The changes to Nurse Rakesh were quick, the years melting off the woman as she examined Darren. Nurse Rakesh's skin tone began to even, her hair going from grey to black. The womans body firmed, her breasts rising before shrinking back into small mounds. As Nurse Rakesh finished examining Darren, he beheld a fresh faced and pretty 13 year old Indian girl.
"Well it's not broken," she smiled, her voice high and girlish.
"Thanks Nurse Rakesh," Darren said.
"Neela," she said. "Its just Neela. Hopefully in a couple years it will be doctor. Just keep some ice on it and take a couple of tylenol."
"No problem Neela."
"Stay here til the bell rings," she said. "Afterwards head to class. I'm going to go talk with Ewart. That bonehead needs to chill."
"This wasnt his fault," Darren said. "Hes actually a really good teacher."
"I know he is," Neela sighed. "Ewart is a great teacher. But I've known him since we were in preschool and I'm his best friend. Ewart always pushes the envelope."
Neela paused, blushing as she realized she had gone of on a rant. "Sorry probably shouldn't of gone on like that."
"No it's okay Neela," Darren smiled. "I have a friend just like you."
Neela smiled, thanking Darren as the bell now sounded. As Darren now said his goodbyes he made his way towards science class. Although his day was almost over, he still had somethings to do.
