Ms. Nova Hemlock ( clone and the math teacher)

Ms. Nova Hemlock, the night school teacher who is constantly confused for Ms. Gloria Hemlock.

Which makes sense, since she *looks* like Ms. Gloria Hemlock. Exactly like her. Same height and weight. Same brunette hair that sometimes changes silver. Same icy eyes, sharp cheekbones, slim body, and pale skin. Same breast and butt size. The clone even sounded like her—cool, calm, no-nonsense—with that same low voice that made equations sound like legal threats.

She even behaves like Gloria for most part. She teaches the same subject as her: Math and transitioning to health. She usually dresses the same way as Gloria. She has the same likes and dislikes. She even does that thing where she appears out of now where like a ghost.

However, She is Ms. Nova Hemlock, not Ms. Gloria Hemlock. Not her sister ever. Points she insisted annoyingly. She would constantly say that she is “*perfectly valid extension of the original." Something which no one understood what that meant.

Because of people always mistake her for Gloria, she does what she can to stand out. She started the semester wearing the same type of gray blazer and slacks as her original—Gloria Hemlock, the daytime teacher—but over time, she began to experiment: one week it was pencil skirts instead of slacks, another week a lavender blazer instead of gray, and just last Thursday she showed up in a very professional but oddly shiny suit, the material catching moonlight in a way that looked almost iridescent, with one girl swearing it was woven with fiber optics. Then came the day she walked in wearing jeans and a bright T-shirt with a cartoon splashed across the front, smiling far too much and forcing little jokes and bits of small talk that landed with the stiffness of a rehearsed skit. She even started leaving personal notes on graded homework—friendly jokes, memes (actual memes) printed next to math problems—and the final straw was when she casually referenced a TikTok trend in class.

That not even the weirdest thing about her.

The weirdest things about her are some of the unnatural things that happen with her. For starters she has a weird memory problem. She will remember do things she never did in vivid detail. Sometimes randomly in class, she freezes in place and not move and speak for a few minutes, before carrying on like nothing happened. But the weirdest thing about her is how she sometimes moves around and does things without seemly meaning to. She will walk around, pick up things, and other stuff while she looks every confused and concerned about why this happening. It's almost like her body is mincing something else.
