Flash Fiction Fun

        “Mr. Simms is absent today,” Jodi whispers. “You know the plan.”

        I line up with the rest of the students in eighth grade English. We all know what to do—change places and change names. Grinning like a goofy goose, I sit in the third row, not in my assigned seat.

        Mrs. Murphy, the gray-haired substitute, sneers at the class from behind the teacher’s desk. She holds the seating chart as she calls the roll. “Andrea.”

        “Here,” I say.

         She frowns at me. “You’re not Andrea. You’re Cynthia.”

         “I am?”

        Everyone laughs.

        Even I have forgotten my name. “Absent.”

Let’s see what the others wrote:
