Lesson Plan Pt 20

 “Ok, let’s go back to the dorm.”  “And just what are you girls doing causing a mess in my halls.” I thought it was Mistress Foster at first, but I turned to see a teacher I’d never met before.  “Mistress Crowder, we were just-” | “Tut tu, no excuses Miss Katrina Howitzer. You girls know the rules. Now disperse to your separate rooms. I’ll have your punishments figured out tomorrow.”  “But it’s not their fault!” Everyone turned to see me. There was no way I was going to let them take the fall for me.  “And you are? I don’t recall seeing you in my dorm before.”   Oh Crap. “Um, I’m Sam uh… I live at the West Dorm under Mistress Foster’s care.”  “Hmm, and why is it not they’re fault they were running about in my halls, causing a ruckus?”   We weren’t running? C’mon think of a story. She doesn’t seem like the type to be as considerate of a gender identity crisis like they were. “Well, y’see, we were um telling scary ghost stories and I ran out, cause um, I got too scared…” C’mon, think of something better. “And I kinda sorta pissed myself.” I said BETTER!  Crowder looked down at my pajamas, and I followed her gaze. There were some wet spots on my knees and thighs? Oh, fuck I must have missed the toilet when I vomited earlier and got some on my legs. Wait, I guess it does look like pee, and it is kinda warm, ugh I can’t believe I just had that mental image.  “Hmm, and I guess these girls were just running after you out of the goodness of their heart?” What kind of question was that? Oh, I followed her gaze and saw she was looking at Marla.  “Look, they dragged me along. You know what kind of goody-goods ‘Trina and Kayley are.”  Miss Crowder just looked over the whole situation and pressed her hand to her temple. “Fine, go back to your little slumber party. I trust you have a spare pair of pants, young lady?”  “Uh” | “Oh, I do, don’t worry.” | “heheh, thanks, Kristy” |”No problem. You’re one of us remember?”  One of the girls. It really felt nice to hear that.  After our debacle with Mistress Crowder, we got back to hanging out in ‘Trina and Kayley’s room. We talked about music and games and even if any of us were dating. Then we got around to telling actual ghost stories, I guess inspired by my lie.  As we all got a little sleepy, we pulled out our sleeping blankets and pillows and set up on the floor together. Right before the lights turned out, I saw the door to the room and realized it had been closed the entire time. I had finally got to just be a girl and hang out with other girls and have privacy and all that stuff that I never got to have as a kid.  That night I dreamed I really was a student at this school. Pff, like that would ever happen.
