"Freaky Homeroom Swap: A Comedy of Misadventures"
0 Points

It was the first day of the semester, and I trudged into homeroom with a sense of dread typical to Mondays, but multiplied by a thousand. This wasn’t just any Monday – it was the Monday after the Swap Class incident that would go down in Kirkland High history.
“Morning, Danny!” Mr. Jenkins, Cheerleading Coach and now, apparently, Mr. Popularity among the staff, called out to me. James Jenkins had no clue. No, only a few select people knew my dad had swapped bodies with Kimberly.
Dad, or rather, my dad’s face on Kimberly’s body, waved gleefully at me from the front of the room, while awkwardly adjusting her tight jeans. Kimberly’s form, clad in my dad’s enthusiasm and zero fashion sense, was a sight to behold. A sight I wished I could unsee.
“Morning… Dad… Kim… Dad-Kim,” I fumbled, my hand doing an indecisive wave.
Dad-Kimberly beamed. “Hey champ! Ready for our first day? Remember, anatomy quiz later!” He—no, she—wore a gray top that showcased a slice of belly and hugged her busty new form. Definitely not the attire of a 47-year-old man masquerading as a teenage girl. He even had on Kimberly’s signature lip gloss.
Suddenly, there was a tap on my shoulder. “Danny! Is something wrong?” Clara, my best friend since kindergarten, whispered. I hadn't told her… yet.
I sighed, leaning closer. “You’re not gonna believe this…but the swap class got messed up. There was an odd number. Dad swapped with Kimberly.”
Clara’s eyes nearly popped out of her skull. “You’re kidding.”
“I wish,” I muttered, then added the pièce de résistance. “And he knows about my crush on her.”
Clara clapped a hand over her mouth, her eyes twinkling with poorly hidden amusement. “Oh my god. How? How, exactly, did that come up?”
My face burned with the embarrassment of a thousand suns. “No idea. It's like he infiltrated my brain.”
Before Clara could respond, Dad-Kimberly approached, hips swaying awkwardly like a baby deer learning to walk. “Danny! Can you sit with me at lunch today? We need to discuss… you know.” Dad’s voice lowered conspiratorially, except it came out in Kimberly’s sweet tone. “Our fake date!”
I was dying. This was my slow and excruciating death. “Dad, please, for the love of all that is holy…”
Clara’s laughter ruptured, causing heads to turn. “Fake date? This I gotta see.”
Dad-Kimberly crossed her arms under her—umm—ample chest and gave Clara a look of pretend seriousness. “It’s purely educational. Danny needs to learn how to talk to girls.” She winked at me. A wink I’d seen thousands of times on Kimberly, now rendered untrustworthy in Dad’s hands.
And it got worse. “Plus, I think I need help with her uh… my makeup,” Dad-Kimberly said sheepishly. “You think you could lend a hand, Clara?”
I blinked rapidly, trying to expel the image of my dad asking for a smokey-eye tutorial.
Clara, always up for a challenge (or a front-row seat to my humiliation), eagerly agreed. “Sure, why not!”
At lunch, the spectacle unfolded with unrivaled horror. Dad-Kimberly, now wearing a more confident air thanks to a touch-up by Clara, sat opposite me in the cafeteria. “Danny,” he, she, Dad-Kimberly began, twirling a strand of brown hair, “what’s your favorite movie? Mine is *The Notebook*. Don't you think Rachel McAdams is dreamy?” His voice dripped sarcasm, but the effect was uncanny.
“I… uh…” My brain short-circuited. “*Die Hard*?”
“Right!” Dad-Kimberly continued, opening her notebook stylishly decorated with stickers and glitter. “I guess it’s not just a Christmas movie for you!”
I could see Clara recording the whole thing, tears of laughter streaming down her face. And then. Then my absolute nightmare came true.
Kimberly-in-Dad’s-body entered the cafeteria.
“Is this seat taken?” Her voice, my dad’s flat dull tone, asked from a face topped with a graying buzzcut.
We now had spectacle inception: Dad-Kimberly and Kimberly-Dad facing off. Dad-Kimberly’s lips twisted in suppressed giggles; Kimberly-Dad looked ready to bolt.
Kimberly—and this was Kimberly’s spirit, no doubt—didn’t miss a beat. “So Danny,” she—and that was so my dad’s wince—turned her gaze to me, “Were you going to ask me out, or what?”
I wished fervently to be swallowed by the earth, to transmogrify into cafeteria sludge, or to leap heroically into oblivion. Instead, I stammered, “Yeah, about that…"
“Remember to make eye contact and compliment her sincerely,” Dad-Kimberly whispered loudly.
Kimberly-Dad looked semi-impressed. “Good advice. Carry on.”
I finally mumbled something about a nice top—thankfully nothing that sounded like a line from a bad sitcom.
As I looked between ‘Kimberly’ the brunette with Dad’s guidance, and ‘Dad’ the bald ex-jock with Kimberly’s spirit, something remarkable happened. It wasn't so much the birth of confidence but a weird, reluctant acceptance: this horror-show was, bizarrely, my new normal.
Kimberly-Dad raised her—his—graying eyebrows approvingly, and Dad-Kimberly gave me a thumbs-up so vigorous it almost knocked her plate over.
Both sides of my brain sighed defeatedly. It was going to be a long semester.

So now he swapped bodies with Kimberly a hot brunette and the hottest and bustiest girl in school. All semester she's going to be at my house acting like my dad. God this is awkward and even worse my dad somehow found out my crush on her so now he is going to try and have a fake date with me and try his best to act like her he even did her makeup and put on a nice outfit that consisted of some tight jeans that hugged her curvaceous backside, and a gray top that showed off a bit of belly and was tight around his busty form, I even saw the outline of his bra. He has told her about my crush too. How could this get any worse.
