Ms. Alvarez smile falters as the bell rings to start the day. "What terrible timing."
She instinctively walked back to her desk while Lisa quickly grabbed the shrunken desk and stuffed it into her pocket. She was about to ask her favorite teacher to return the device but before she could, the classroom door opened and the students started to pile in.She was going to have to wait until they all cleared out.
"At least I can trust Camila." Lisa told herself.
All of the usual faces arrived but the ones that stood out were Rachel and her two cronies, Trevor from the basketball team, and that nerdy foreign exchange student from Hong Kong... Ming or something. Her English wasn't the best but it got the job done. Unfortunately for the girl her desk was the victim of field testing.
"Ms. Alvarez? Wǒ de shūzhuō zài nǎlǐ?" She asked.
Thankfully Ms. Alvarez was well versed in multiple languages. "There was an incident last night and your desk was destroyed. I'll call someone to bring a new one in. In the meantime you'll just have to sit on the floor. My apologies."
This earned a pout from the poor girl and a snort from Rachel.
Now Lisa kind of felt bad as she watched Ming sit crisscrossed on the floor while Ms. Alvarez put in a call. Once that was done, everyone was present and ready to start the day.
"Alright class. I want you to pull out your textbooks and turned to page..."
Lisa was only half listening as class progressed. She was more focused on the shrink ray than anything else. Camila put it in her desk before the start of class and she really wanted it back. It wasn't that she didn't trust her teacher, she was just aching to experiment with more. That and it was her father's life work in physical form so that made it extra special.
"Just be patient, Lisa." She told herself. "The remote isn't going anywhere."
