Traci May's Short Story
YOU CAN’T HEAR HER STORY YET!
I’m sorry to yell, I know that your teachers yell at you a lot so to have another teacher yell at you is probably not what you wanted but I just had to get your attention before you listen to Traci May’s story of how she became me and how I became her.
I’ve seen enough movies to that these type of situations are never an accident, somebody had to do this to us and I just know that it wasn’t me, so there are only two possible options: (1) Traci May thought that she would play the perfect prank on her teacher and it actually worked (2) I’m actually dreaming and in that case, things just may not be as bad it seems.
Now you’ve seen what Traci looks like, now it’s my turn to show you me. Yes, I’m really that tall

Yes, I just said that there were probably two options but I’ve been awake and sleep twice already and I know that this was not a dream, I even tried pinching myself and well that just made me hurt.
This was our last conversation before the swap.
“Traci, please turn around in your seat” I said.
So you know what she did? She actually turned all the way around and she didn’t do it once, she did it twice. The whole class laughed and before I could even assign any homework, guess what happened?
The bell rung.
That means that nobody had homework and I really needed to give

“Of course!” he shouted, and then he threw it over to me.
My hands played a juggling act just trying to make sure I didn’t drop the apple because apple bruises are just the absolute worse. Don’t believe me? Ask your mom or dad, it’s the brown spots.
Anyways, I have to stop getting distracted. All I can say is, as you see it was not me that started this whole swap thing. I want to be back in my adult body doing what adult people do, like watching TV, reading great books, eating healthy, going to work everyday.
Hold on.
But what if, I can just be a kid?
What if this swap may be something great?
I don’t have to wake up tomorrow morning and go to work. I can just go to school and come home to climb some trees or run over to the park and play.
No my kids in my class needs me.
But I get to be ten again, I mean who doesn’t want to be ten again, it’s a great age to be a kid.
But I know that Traci doesn’t know where I live so how did she get home all these days? She can’t drive! She’s just a kid in my body.
Well I know you have to go because she is waiting for you on the next page but as you read her story just know that this was not my fault.
I say again, this was not my

    You see, my simple first grade brain just thought of it like a splinter. After a while, I refused to tell anyone that I had a splinter. They just grew into my body, and that was that. I thought they would just go away. When I found out I had to get them taken out, I was devastated. I was absolutely terrified. It only took one strong doctor and my mother to hold me down this time. The doctor got out some scissors and started to cut the stitches so he could take them out, and that was almost as bad as getting them put in. I was crying again, almost, if not just as badly as the first…

    Like a beautifully carved figurehead gracing the bow of a magnificent ship, Shelby Summers stood on deck of the "Illusion," staring out across the azure blue waters of the Chesapeake Bay. As the orange setting sun slid beneath the horizon, the evening found her completely consumed in thought, for she had a lot on her mind--mainly murder. Images flashed through her head at lightning speed, piecing together the details of time gone by and with it, her carefully orchestrated plan. Disciplined to near fault, she knew both the rigors and rewards of proper preparation, for this was not the first time, and it wouldn't be the last. Every step, every attention to detail was paramount to a successfully executed plan. She had done her homework and done it well.…

    Damn I hate school! T o be honest “I never looked forward more to anything in my life” (Lee 15), but everything went wrong. My teacher is Ms. Caroline Fisher. I don’t think she’s more than twenty-two. “She … wore a red-and-white-striped dress. She looked and smelled like a peppermint drop.” (Lee 16). She began reading a very funny story about cats that wore clothes. When she was done, she wrote the alphabet on the blackboard ant asked me what they were. I read the letters to her and she got mad at me and told me to tell Atticus that he was teaching me wrong! Atticus never taught me how to read, Jem said I was born reading but Ms. Caroline must’ve thought I was lying. It would be so hard not ready, “reading was something that just came to me … Until I feared I would lose it, I never loved to read.” (Lee 18).…

    I’ve evolved from an adolescent to an amazing young woman who can voice her opinions, make decisions, collaborates with others, and acts as a leader rather than a follower. In school, when asked to give a presentation or read out loud, I don’t cower in fear. I can stand tall and proud with a clear voice that portrays my knowledge. I can look at an upcoming event where I have to speak out loud and breeze through it with confidence. I look back at my ten year old self and smile. I can look back and think ‘that’s where I used to be,’ then look at myself now and say, “Look what I’ve become.” I don’t think I could be more proud of my progress. I still have a lot to learn, but I’m getting there. I’m excelling, and I’m ready for the rest of life. I’m ready to take on the challenges that the world throws at me because I have all the life skills that 4-H has taught me, “Learn by doing,” and “Make the best…

    Walters started off by asking me some questions about the mermaids in my room and why I liked them so much. So I was honest, I told her that they are different and unique because they have a tail. Then, we sat down on my bed and she said that I was very pretty and very special, which is something that I agree with. Once again she asked me a question that a lot of other people ask me. She said, “If people say to you are you a boy or a girl, what do you say?” I obviously told her that I am a girl because that is how I see myself no matter how anybody chooses to see me. I had to tell her about a picture that I drew when she asked if there was anything else in the room that I wanted to show her. I pointed to the picture and when she got up to get it, I told to her that the little girl was crying because she wanted to wear the dress to school, but Mommy wouldn’t let her. And now that Mommymy lets the little girl wear the dress to school she is happy. Accept that little girl in the end was me! Mrs. Walters talked more until I told her that I was ready to sing a song in front of everybody. The only song that I could think of came from Cinderella because that was the song we were singing in acting school these past couple of days. I tried my best to sing since I knew my voice was going to be bad because I was just coming off of a cold, but this is what I…

    After she had left, I started to think. Why had I done it? Couldn't I have just followed my usual behavior and sit in class? Self-hatred hit me like a wrecking ball. I cursed the moment my friends and I had decided to follow the other students’ example and gotten out of class, thinking that if they never got punished, why would we? Of course, that was a horrible excuse and we knew it.…
