Wayside School and the Next Generation

Summary:

This fic contains several stories about the children and teachers at Wayside School. You might not recognize the children, but that's alright. Children have a way of growing up and becoming adults. These adults have children of their own, who are strangers when you first meet them.

However, some things never change. You'll probably recognize some things about the new children's school. It might seem strange and silly that Wayside School is still sideways after all these years. However, you're still you after all these years. And that is wonderfully strange and silly too.

While legible on mobile devices, this fic is best consumed on larger screens. - Management

Chapter 1: Ms. Jewls

Chapter Text

On the wall opposite the window, on the thirtieth story of a particular school, there are six photographs.

The first, strangely, is of an apple.

The next photograph is of a woman. From looking at her, you'd guess that she was very kind. You would guess correctly.

Next to the kind woman is a man with three nostrils. Then there is a woman with a blue journal. Then there is a woman with an ear on top of her head.

The last photograph is of the kind woman again. This time, she is holding a baby.

Beneath the wall opposite the window is a teacher's desk. A young woman with short hair and a regular number of features is sitting in the chair, unpacking spare pencils, rubber bands, red pens, a stapler, and all the other things a young woman needs to become a teacher. Tomorrow is her first day of school.

If you're the type of person who pays attention to babies, you just might recognize her.
