## The Transformative Detention
In the year 2022, the halls of Franklin Elementary School echoed with the earnest vivacity of youth. Seven-year-old James McKenna was one of its many lively students, although today, his chirpy demeanor was nowhere to be seen. He was stuck in the school library serving detention, presided over by the austere Miss Gertrude Adelaide Winthrop, a name that sent shivers down the spines of the young and the old alike.
Miss Winthrop, affectionately—or fearfully—referred to as "Miss Gerty" by her students, stood at an intimidating five-foot-seven inches. She was a sturdy woman, estimated to weigh around 160 pounds. Born on December 8, 1947, making her a full 35+ years older than James's 20-year-old mom, she was without question the oldest teacher at the school. Her dominion over the library had spanned 45 years, peppered with whispered tales of her more eccentric disciplinary methods. The youngest teacher at the school, Miss Emily Parker, was a mere 23 years old, comparatively a fledgling in the world of education.
Miss Gerty, with her salt-and-pepper hair styled in an impeccably maintained bun, peered down at James with piercing blue eyes, magnified by her cat-eye horn-rimmed glasses. These glasses, embellished with tiny golden etchings, framed a face that seemed carved from discipline itself. She wore a knee-length skirt, paired with a buttoned-up blouse, both in hues of mustard yellow. Her platform sandals—brown leather relics from an era long past—clipped with every step, adding to her imposing aura. Her nails, painted in a regal maroon, matched the ruby brooch pinned to her blouse. Complementing this were her old-fashioned earrings and her thick gold wedding band, which looked as though it had weathered decades on her finger.
James, on the other hand, sat sullenly in his seat, trying to make himself comfortable in this oppressive setting. He was a small boy, standing at about 4 feet tall, with mousy brown hair and hazel eyes that were brimming with innocent worry. Born on July 15, 2015, James was clad in a blue T-shirt featuring a cartoon rocket, faded jeans, and scuffed sneakers. Clutched tightly in his hand was a worn-out teddy bear with a faded tag reading "Love, Mom." His mom had given it to him for comfort, a buffer against the intimidating presence of Miss Gerty.
As James nibbled on a chocolate chip granola bar—the last remnant of solace—Miss Gerty's sharp eyes caught sight of the offending snack and his teddy bear. Rising from her seat, she thumped over to him, her platform sandals amplifying each step like a dirge.
"Young man!" she barked, snatching the bear and the granola bar from his grasp. "No snacks in the library! And a toy? Utterly unacceptable!"
"But… but that was from my mom," James pleaded, tears welling in his eyes. "Please, Miss Gerty, I need it back!"
"No! Rules are rules, young man," Miss Gerty retorted, placing the items in her desk drawer. "Now, I'm going somewhere and will be right back. Behave yourself, young man!"
James watched as she exited the library, her back straight and unyielding. Seizing the opportunity, he crept over to her desk, his heart pounding like a drum. He gingerly opened the drawer and saw his teddy bear and the granola bar. At the same moment, he noticed what Miss Gerty had left behind: her glasses, her jewelry, and her worn platform sandals. The sight of these items filled him with a peculiar unease.
Suddenly, James's foot snagged on something, and he tripped, his shoes and socks flying off in different directions. He stumbled into Miss Gerty's platform sandals, momentarily donning them before kicking them off in disgust.
"Ew, gross, girly shoes, old lady shoes!" he exclaimed, sticking his tongue out.
But then, the transformation began. His feet started to tingle and before his horrified eyes, they cracked, wrinkled, and aged, transforming into an identical pair to Miss Gerty's. Maroon nail polish began to form on his toenails.
"No, no, no! Mommy! Oh no, I don't wanna be a girl! I don't wanna be my mean old teacher!" he cried, tears streaming down his cheeks as he frantically tried to scrape the polish off.
His legs followed next, the slender limbs elongating, muscles softening, and skin aging until they resembled those of Miss Gerty. His torso and chest changed, taking on a more mature, feminized form. His arms slimmed, hands becoming delicate and fingers thinning, with maroon nail polish appearing on his fingernails.
Stumbling to a nearby mirror, James watched in growing terror as his face morphed, his young features aging and rearranging to replicate Miss Gerty's stern visage. Simultaneously, his clothes transformed, the fabric rippling and shifting into the mustard-yellow two-piece outfit.
"These girly clothes are so uncomfortable," James—no, Miss Gerty—muttered, tugging at the hem of the skirt, trying to take it off. "Why can't I…?"
However, his memories began to warp and fade. He desperately clung to thoughts of recess and birthday parties, but they were slipping away into a sea of parental meetings and detentions.
"What was I doing again? Oh, come on Gertrude, you're 74 years old, you've been a teacher at this school for 45 years," she scolded herself, blinking in confusion.
She returned to her desk, spotting her glasses, jewelry, and wedding ring. Missing her fond memories of tea parties and teddy bears, Gertrude started by putting on her necklace and brooch, handling each piece with care. She slid the ring onto her finger, its weight familiar and comforting. Her glasses were next, and as she perched them on her nose, the world came into sharp focus. Finally, she sat down to don her platform sandals, adjusting and tightening each strap meticulously.
Standing up, Gertrude looked around the library, her eyes settling on the confiscated teddy bear and granola bar. A memory tugged at the edges of her mind, but it was quickly dismissed. She bent down, picking up the items, frowning.
"I confiscated this from that... young delinquent," she muttered to herself. "His mom will be getting a letter from me to address this abhorrent behavior at once. Nobody disobeys Miss Gertrude Adelaide Winthrop and gets away with it."
As she placed the teddy bear and granola bar back in the desk, she noticed the discarded shoes and socks on the ground. Gertrude picked them up, her expression of confusion turning to stern disapproval.
"Did that young man take off his shoes and socks to try on my sandals? How disgraceful. What was he thinking? These are for ladies only; he's a boy, not a lady. I'm a lady, he's a boy. I bet he wishes he could wear my clothes and my jewelry and have his nails painted just like mine," she mused with a shudder.
She left the library, her platform sandals echoing through the hallway, a sound that made even the other teachers pause. She marched towards the principal's office, a determined fire in her stride.
The principal, Mrs. Lydia Hallbright, was a more modern woman in her late forties, born on April 5, 1974. Standing at about five-foot-five and weighing around 140 pounds, Lydia was known for her auburn hair styled in a neat bob and warm, hazel eyes. She wore a sleek gray pantsuit with a white blouse and modest black heels, professional yet approachable.
"Wow, Miss Winthrop, nice to see you. Is everything okay?" Lydia asked nervously, even she intimidated by Gertrude's formidable presence.
"Actually, no. Everything is not okay. The young man I attended to in detention today decided to snoop through my desk and reclaim confiscated items without my permission," Gertrude said, holding up the shoes and socks. "Something better be done about this child, or I'm gonna take matters into my own hands, and you don't want that. You're like 25 years younger than me; you better respect your elders."
Principal Hallbright took a deep breath, knowing that dealing with Miss Winthrop required a firm yet diplomatic approach. "I'll handle it, Miss Winthrop. I'll speak to his mother immediately."
Gertrude nodded sharply, placing the shoes and socks on the principal's desk. "See that you do. No one disrespects Miss Gertrude Adelaide Winthrop and escapes unscathed."
As the sound of her platform sandals retreated down the hallway, Principal Hallbright sighed, knowing today, like any other day involving Miss Gerty, was far from over. The legend of Gertrude Adelaide Winthrop, the teacher whose strict demeanor and inexplicable actions mystified the school, would continue to leave its mark on Franklin Elementary for years to come.
