Weekends To Full-Time

Weekends To Full-Time (part 4)

God, it has nearly been a week and I am still Rob, I am praying that tomorrow I will wake up in my old 35 year old body, thinking whatever makes me and Rob swap bodys went wrong last week, and hopefully will fix it self, because I don't think I could take another week in this body.

school was mostly as shit as I thought it was going to be, sure I have a lot of friends now what is cool and all, because I was a loner in my old body growing up, but at least in my old body growing up I was at the top of my class, now in this body I was struggling to get out of in the bottom 10% in all my class's, I found myself having to raise my hand multiple times during each lesson, finding myself not understanding what I need to do, or how to solve a certain math problem.

It made me feel like an idiot, knowing I could have solved these back in my old body when I was this age, and I know both my own kids who are the same age as Rob could as well. I cannot take being the at the bottom of my class, it really sucks, I don't know how Rob is fine with it, I understand Robs mom is rich and he does not need to worry about money.

but still, my... his friends make jokes about it, and how is he fine with that? sure having a big group of friends is great, and hanging around school with them is a lot of fun, and schools in America are odd, there is this whole social thing inside them, in London and I expect the rest of the Uk, school is just school, sure you still make friends there but you go and you get out as fast as you can, but here in the USA there is this big social thing from there sports teams, what a lot of the town comes and supports to there being much more school spirit and country pride, it is hard to explain it completely, or properly understand.

And then there is the problems what have happened after school this week, with on Monday I got told by weekend mom that morning to remember to pick up Tim from his school, what I was a hour late to do so, with only knowing the name of the school and having to use Robs phone to find out where it is, and then there was Tim, he once again said I was acting weird, being a hour late to pick him up, but I just told him to shut up, with it being a pretty shitty day, what surprisingly worked, thinking that is what Rob is normaly like to him.

But it did not stop there, he also pointed out how I was acting weird with doing my homework the day I got it, and how I was trying to make this body study at home, trying to get Robs grades up, hating feeling dum, and not going straight up to the skatepark, but still going to the skatepark after 1 hour of studying, with that is the most this body can handle before losing the plot, and can't help but needing to do something active.

But with Tim it was easily enough to stop his constant weird looks at me and him saying how I was not acting like "myself", with on Wednesday, I actually managed to do 2 whole hours of studying what I felt over the moon about, but knowing there was no point in going to the skatepark after that, with it getting too late, but I still wanted to do something active, and when I walked passed Tims room, I saw he looked bord on his tablet so I asked if he wanted to shoot some hoops in the basketball hoop what I'm going to guess Robs dad put up years ago before he passed away.

But Tim did that weird look at me and then said "why? you have never asked me to do anything with you during the week, why are you now? and you are acting weird like you do on Saturdays?" I did not know what to say to that, so I just said "maybe I'm changing like getting older or something, and I just want to do something outside, and it is too late to meet up with my friends, so why not play with you?"

he stared at me for a couple more seconds and then to my surprise he said "ok, and Rob I prefer the new you, I like how you now want to spend time with me and you actually talk to me while walking me home from school instead of putting your headphones on, and you have not messed with me for like 4 days now!" this really did startle me, I knew Tim is very clever for his age, but still it still shocked me, and I could not stop myself from smiling at what he said, and me and him played basketball all night an till he had to take a bath and go to bed.

For the rest of the week, it went the same as Monday, finding myself struggling with the work and doing my extra studying was not really helping that much, sure I was doing a little better in my subjects, but the only teacher what has even noticed that me as Rob was trying much more than normal, was "MR Smish" Robs maths teacher.

With to day during maths class, he asked me to stay behind class with maths being the last lesson of the week, and like all of the kids around me, I am definitely ready to get away from school and enjoy the weekend, so I was not really that happy having to stay a second longer than I had to, but I am happy that I did now.

With Mr Smish staring down at me opposite the table I was sitting at, and putting the work I handed in yesterday Infront of me and said "I want you to look at this" with him pointing at the percentage I got in it, with it being 81% and him smiling down at me saying "i am proud of you, for improving from only getting around 40% of your work correct, but I have been seeing that you have been trying this week, and I am happy to see it, and I hope you carry this on, liking seeing this from you?" I could not help but smile at this, sure it was only an 80% on some maths problems for an 11 year old, but I have been working hard all week, with doing all the studying what I have been struggling to doing in this body, with that being really hard to do in this body as well!

I looked up at him and remember saying "thanks sir, I will try my hardest for now on" and after that he let me take the work home, what I showed Robs mom knowing she has not seen Rob get such a high mark from Rob for years and I felt silly for being so happy seeing how happy it made her.

But that is really it, it still sucks knowing if I do not turn back tomorrow, I am going to have to repeat the whole week again, and knowing I might be stuck being Rob for good! With looking at the tablet in my hands, seeing all the messages what we have sent each other, to help each other and complain about each other's life's, with 99% of the complaining was me, with Rob who seems to be Enjoying my life saying how he loves my Job, being a manager of construction sites, I do not really understand it anymore having Robs intelligence now, but he sounded like he is enjoying it more than I normally did when I was the one going to work?.

He seemed very happy, what just made me feel worse, because when I ask him "has he managed to find anything about are problem?" with him having a lot more time with computers and being cleverer than me now, he just says, he's been too busy and he will get on it when he can, so that just left me to try and find anything, with what I can access, and I can't find anything helpful, I am just hoping and praying, that after spending today at the skatepark and doing Robs homework tonight, instead of playing GTA, I will wake up in my adult body next to my wife tomorrow morning.
