She's Back! is the fifteenth chapter of Wayside School is Falling Down.
Plot[]
The students of Mrs. Jewls's class claim to see Mrs. Gorf at random times on random spots around the playground. After relating his own bad experiences of his old teacher Mrs. Drazil, Louis watches for the former teacher while Deedee hangs from the monkey bars. Everyone feels assured when Mrs. Gorf does not seem to appear, though they ignore a larger set of footprints under the bars, made right next to Deedee's prints.

Memorable Quotes[]
- Louis: You just imagined you saw her, Deedee. If you hate somebody, or if you love somebody, you often think you see that person when she isn't there. It's very common. It's just like Mrs. Drazil.
Trivia[]
- Mrs. Drazil would eventually get a major role in Wayside School Gets a Little Stranger.
- Despite the fact this chapter says the students in Mrs. Jewls's class never told anyone what happened to Mrs. Gorf, in "Stephen," they tell Mrs. Jewls.
- Also, Louis said he never learned what happened to Mrs. Gorf. However, in "Louis", it is said he wrote Sideways Stories from Wayside School, which included "Mrs. Gorf", he also mentioned children turning into apples.
