"It's okay," Tabitha said in an attempt to calm the chubby six-year old girl down, "Don't panic. I have an idea." Raven wiped a tear from her eye, trying her best not to fall into causing a tantrum, and anticipated her old teacher's idea. She watched as Tabitha reached into her desk and pulled out a small school uniform. "I'm sorry Raven," Tabitha continued, handing the tiny outfit to you, "But you'll just have to try your best to blend in for now."
Holding the uniform in her flabby arms, Raven gulped, shuddering at the thought of revisiting her nightmarish childhood, but from her new point of view, it would be the best not to get onto the bad side of her teacher, who now stood intimidatingly over her. And so with little other option, Raven ripped herself out of her old clothes, while Tabitha looked away, granting Raven some privacy.
As Tabitha looked out of the window, Raven reluctantly tried to put her new uniform on, but struggled in doing so because of her new, chubby posterior. She was unable to squeeze into the white, tight shirt, and could not breathe in hard enough to slide the black skirt above her thick thighs. She stood feeble in the nude, failing miserably at putting on the uniform. So as her entire face blushed red, she tugged on the long skirt of her old teacher, her turned to face her with a clear expression of pity. She knew what poor little Raven asked for, so without hesitation, Tabitha quickly helped her to put her new uniform on. Tabitha tugged ferociously, squeezing Raven's chunky frame into her new shirt, pulled up the tight skirt and helped her slip her feet into her small shoes. After several minutes, there Raven stood, reliving her harsh memories as a fat little girl in school uniform, dreading what she was about to face in her first day back in elementary school.
As the second school bell rung, Raven suddenly hid behind the tall frame of her old teacher, who allowed her students to enter the classroom and take their respectful seats. Tabitha then addressed the students.
"Children," Tabitha explained to the class, "I must inform you all that there is a new student in your class. We don't know how long she's going to stay here, but hopefully it won't be for long. Please give a warm welcome to..."
Before Tabitha could give the name of the temporary student, she immediately realized that revealing Raven's real name would blow her attempt to blend in with the students.
At the last minute, she thought of her own daughter and continued. "Please welcome Catherine Skye!" With that said, Tabitha steps away from her desk, revealing the chubby six-year old to the classroom.
Raven, who was unhappy with her new name choice, stood pathetically and nervously in front of the class, who gazed at her in a variety of expressions. Raven stared back at all the students, who suddenly looked tremendously larger than her previous encounter with them.
"Now Catherine," Tabitha said to the six-year old, "Please take a seat." Obeying her teacher's command, Raven, now going by the name Catherine, approached her new desk, which sat in the very front and middle of the classroom, where she could not avoid the glancing eyes of her new peers. She squeezed into her desk and let out a huge sigh of disbelief. Never in a million years would she ever find herself sitting at a desk at elementary school again!
The class seemed to drag on forever. It felt like Catherine was in her equivalent of hell, revisiting her nightmarish past all over again. However, as Catherine would soon find out, this would only be the beginning of an adventure like she had never embarked on in her life.
