Ivy walks into Room 204 for her Monday science class. The room looks strange today.
All the desks are gone. Only empty shelves stand in their place.
Ivy checks her school schedule app again. It still says Room 204, second period.
Other students arrive in small groups. They laugh and talk, but no one understands why.
"Maybe we are in the wrong place," says her friend Wyatt.
Ivy looks at the room number by the door. It clearly says 204.
She walks to the school office to ask. The secretary checks the computer screen.
"Room 204 moved to the second floor this week," the secretary says. "We sent an email on Friday."
Ivy checks her email on her phone. There it is, one message she never opened.
She thanks the secretary and runs to find Wyatt. "Follow me," she says. "We have the wrong floor."
They climb the stairs together and find the real Room 204. The teacher stands at the board, ready to start.
"Sorry we're late," Ivy says. "We didn't see the email about the room change."
