P.E...Horton-Dexter High School...shortly after lunch.
"This feels so weird having PE so late. It's harder than I thought being Dakota."
Sable McKellen shuffled downstairs toward the locker room in a hurry to change into her gym clothes. Girls all about Sable were dodging her in order to race inside and get dressed. Expecting Coach Ruth to blare her replacement whistle to call her girls up into the gymnasium meant catching hell if late. Realizing something upon entering the girls shower room Sable hesitated and bit her lip.
"I don't know Dakota's gym locker combination. Her other locker was easy but she didn't tell me this one. Better ask so nobody looks at me funny." Pulling out her cell realizing it was shut off she dropped her jaw.
"How did that happen?"
Quickly reactivating it she goes to her text windows and discovers Dakota's early warning to shut her cell off before their Dad could catch them in a lie, should he call. It was a smart catch but, how was it that her cell was already off?
"Weird again."
Texting Dakota ended without reply which meant Sable knew she had to wing it. Trying to be sneaky about it she just went to her own locker and changed into her outfit. Of course, eyes began to immediately connect dots.
"Hey! I thought you went back home?" Their friend Sandy Martin sat down next to Sable thinking her to be Dakota, but pointed with a confused look, her eyes moving from Dakota's locker to Sable's. "Why are you in Sable's locker?" Easy fix!
"I forgot I took my uniform home to wash it. I told Sable I was going to borrow hers. Gross I know but I didn't want to have to explain to Coach Ruth."
"Gotcha! I didn't get a chance to see Sable before she left, how did her dental appointment go?"
"Good! Her teeth look just like mine now. She has to wear a retainer for awhile though."
"Awesome! She is coming to the game tonight, right? I can see them then. Both of you side by side I bet you could be..." Sandy froze as if suspecting a crazy switcheroo as Sable stripped down, but just shrugged off her second guessing that this might really be Sable. Surely not after, "Did you really show Mister Dundee your ass in Science?" She knew that was not a Sable thing to do, she had to be Dakota.
"That got around fast."
She looked slightly pale, hoping Sandy hadn't heard of what Angus did to her so insanely in front of Dakota's locker. Sable herself was still processing how she could have let him lick her asshole in front of other students. Even more troubling was that the boy she really liked Travis witnessed it thinking she was Dakota. What a fucked up situation. Sadly, she liked it. Travis would never know...right? She hated hurting him but Angus was just too tempting. Being Dakota was the best thing to happen to her in awhile. Well, save for getting her braces out.
"Those butt zipper jeans are crazy. I'm surprised Mister Manley hasn't seen them and made you go change."
"Lucky I guess. I did run into him earlier but I was sitting down so he only saw my opened cleavage."
"That shirt is cool too." Sandy watched Sable hang it up with her now folded jeans. Being nude so early in class also made Sandy presume this really was Dakota. Sable would be way too shy to go without at least panties. Bra maybe, panties never. "You're one big zipper today." She giggled.
"I know right? The boys can't stop looking at me."
"Angus?" Sandy smirked, "I know about this morning after you first got to school. He unzipped you then too. You're crazy Dakota."
"Crazy in love I think." Sable/ Dakota beamed back.
"Did you French with him?"
"Twice...kind of." Sable left it at that. His tongue was pretty awesome be it in her mouth or elsewhere. She wasn't going to say anything more. "We better get upstairs." Sable sat tying her tennis shoes. It was then that Sandy noted the Nikes. "You're wearing Sable's shoes too?"
"No need to open my locker when hers are the same size as mine. All in one stop shop." Sable was getting good at bluffing.
"I guess, but Ewww! I could never wear someone else's shoes."
"They're the same as mine Silly. We shop together and coordinate a lot. Ready!" She hops upright and puts her hands on her hips like Supergirl. "Let's play volleyball." Dakota was the volleyball player of the sisters even though she quit the team just before budget cuts killed it anyway. Sable being klutzy was her only downfall should it arise.
"I can't believe Andi is going to join the cheerleaders too. Counsellor Cherry talked her into wearing a shirt. New uniform she calls it. Miss Cherry is crazy."
"You have no idea. The things I've seen!" Sable giggled, "I just hope my sister copes with cheering." Confidence was brewing the more she used Dakota's persona to defend Sable's own hopes. Strange how things like this switch was effecting the girls. "Are you going to wear a new shirt too?"
"Nooo! I'm not that outgoing. My hips are too chunky." Sandy gets up and slaps her own ass with both hands. "Drum roll please."
"Your ass is not chunky...it has character."
"Uh huh! Let's hit it." Sandy takes the lead, Sable following her slapped Sandy on the butt just to be goofy.
"I hit it...Jigglypuff!"
"Wench!"
********
"Welcome back Travis."
"Good to be back Miss Mahkarti."
Travis Herbert was navigating his return to Horton-Dexter for a second time away in a month quite securely. Confident he was never going to be bullied again he smiled and literally bowed before his Sociology teacher Chandra Mahkarti, of Indian lineage yet quite Americanized in her behavior. In bowing the young woman grinned sheepishly at his respect and offered a curtsey in return.
"You honor me Travis. Take your seat." Chandra waved him toward her classroom. "And, call me Chandra." Being new to Horton-Dexter the Hindi beauty of 5'6, lithe proportions, and gorgeous almost golden brown eyes wanted her students to achieve informality, although some like Travis instilled a sense of need to be courteous. She tried her best but hardly held it against them.
"Quit flirting with her Perbert she's too hot for a freak like you." A boy next to his desk sneered, "She's not into bondage either. So no tying you to the bleachers and pawing you up like Sable McKellen did."
"Fuck off Pryor."
"You fuck off you piss ant. You got what was coming to you."
"Oh really? Were you one of the guys that hijacked me?" He had a hunch Neo Pryor's disgruntled reaction toward him made it possible that he had his first lead into who had humiliated him at the beginning of the week.
"What if I was freak? What are you gonna do about it if I did? Which I wasn't."
"No talking please." Chandra sensed conflict and came to the aid of Travis. Neo changing tactics put the blame on Herbert.
"He's offering to do my homework for twenty bucks. Fuck off Perbert I'm not interested." Travis stared at him with a mental reaction of, "You're really going there?" Chandra luckily knew better, her empathic nature decoding emotions quite easily.
"Remain quiet Neo. Travis? Please take another seat." Acknowledging her Travis grabbed his book bag and moved across the classroom to the next vacant seat. This was resting next to Dakota and Sable's friend Andrea Beckett. Andi while no friend to Travis knew that Sable liked him so at minimal smiled.
"Douche!" Travis mumbled casting a thumb toward Neo. Andi nodded in agreement.
"Have you seen Sable without her braces yet?" Andi dared to write on her notebook in order to avoid talking aloud and disrupting class any further while Chandra discussed Diversity. Settling in with his own notebook and pen Travis wrote back.
"Not yet! She left school before I caught up with her."
"I bet she's crazy happy now."
"Because she has me as a boyfriend." He showed her then shared a cheesy grin. Andi rolled her eyes and shook her head. His ego was off the charts since he and Sable got closer. From hot water to boiling point a kick to his chair redirected him to the boy sitting behind Travis. Leering back the kid sneered and whispered, "Knox isn't done with you Perbert."
"KNOX?" Trav blurted then grit his teeth as Chandra paused in her speech to peer his way. His sudden panic added, "Errrr?" nervously.
"He's back here bragging about your knockers Miss Mahcarti." The boy fanned the flames aiming to get Travis in trouble.
"No I wasn't."
Travis put his palms up defensively but found his fingers curling without even knowing his own motor response. Andrea lowered her gaze not wanting to be any part of this and making people think she was friends with Travis the pervert.
"See? He's squeezing your knockers."
"ENOUGH! Not another word from any of you. Pay attention please." Her knockers were pretty nice at a firm 36C, although rarely seen outside of her tight fitting shirts.
