1 I Froze time! Help!

Hi, hello. My name is Jackson Halt and if you are reading this book thinking you may have these powers I implore you to stop reading and not use your powers until absolutely necessary. But if you're reading this thinking its pure fiction, then read on at your own risk. But just know you have been warned!

So, I was a just normal kid. Actually no. I wasn't really normal as I was diagnosed with dyslexia as a kid, so I often had little times when I would blackout and it would seem like the rest of the world had skipped a few seconds, it also meant I just wouldn't care about what got me into trouble. Anyway, I lived in big city known as Melbourne and went to this boarding school called Alawishous high, a school for the troublesome. Like me. But it all change the fateful day I turned sixteen.

I woke up with a start at about 7 am upon hearing a BANG!!!BANG!!!BANG!!! At my door, with a familiar voice following it. "Come on man you're going to miss out on skipping the day on your birthday!? Come on and hurry up!". That was my best and only friend Mick, he always came to wake me up on excursion days, not out of good heart or anything like that, but because he always wanted us to get the backseats on the bus. And I mean I couldn't blame him, being at the back meant we were further away from the assholes at the front of the bus, aka the teachers. I stretch out my arms and looked around my room, all my clothes scattered about the carpet floor, my desk in the corner piled to the roof with garbage and my giant dresser next to the door with its mirror and fresh clothes awaiting for me. I took my time getting dressed and making my bed, as annoying Mick was just about the funniest thing to do. I threw on my favourite black shirt and jeans, slipped on my blue hoodie and black beanie, and slapped on my runners and opened the door to see Mick standing there with his arms crossed and sour look on his face. "Dude, do you have to take an hour to get dressed every time I'm here?" "Yes" I laughed, I looked him up and down, he was wearing his usual clothes today which was his red and black flannel shirt, blue jeans and his light brown work boots. One thing you should know about him is that his eyes are pure white and I mean he doesn't have any other colour in them, at times he seems to be able to just stare straight through you. I can't say much as my eyes are pure green. Anyway, he came back at me with "we got to go now man, that is if you still want to get there on time?"

"Time seems to always be the issue with us doesn't it?"

"Ha, yeah I guess. Now hurry up"

"Fine!"

Mick and I have this thing with excursions, were if I can beat him to the bus he shouts lunch at where ever where going. I was gaining on him the whole way this time, we ran through the halls so fast I think we woke up half the school! Anyway, By the time we finally got to the bus I was as tired as cat on Saturday. "You should do some more running man" he joked. "Hey, cut me some slack man I don't go for fifty mile jogs every morning!"

"Well it might help a little bit"

"a LITTLE BI..."

"You two need to be shut your traps, it's 10 minutes past seven! You'll wake up the entire school!"

I spun around to see Mr trench standing over me with those dark brown eye and a grim look on his face. Man the amount of times I wished I could punch that smug look right off his face. "Sorry Mr Trench" we said together. "Good, now get on the bus, it's bad enough I have to look after a whole class for the entire day, but I have to look after the both of you as well!" Mick and I jumped on the bus and ran down the back, and secured our seats. "God, I hate him" I whispered "We've only got 2 more weeks and we can finally leave for holidays" Mick whispered back. "Thank heavens".

TIME SKIP

——————

It was about 8 am when the bus finally started moving. Mick and I were talking about some of the cool things we should do on the holidays, when Mick got hit with a face full of PB&J sandwich. The asshole in front of us, Thomas, was laughing his head off, I could barely contain my rage. I started to rise from my seat, but Mick pulled me back down. "Your already on strike 2 from the principal" he reminded me "I know, but it's just so frustrating! I can't stand it."

"I know, but what can you do"

"Beat the crap out of him?"

We both laugh and started cleaning it up. At about 8:30 the bus pulled up outside of the bank and we all piled out of the bus and I apologized to the bus driver about the mess. It was only a few minutes later when the Mr Trench said "its time for recess and I don't want any of you lot running away, as that would be just a ton of paper work and a headache on my behalf".

Me and Mick sat by the stairs looking over the fountain where the rest of the class sat. While I was sitting there I thought about how easy it would be to hail a taxi and drive home. But of course, my parents would send me straight back, and I would be heavily punished for wasting my money on the trip, but I wouldn't have cared, at least I would have gotten to be around my parents for bit. But instead I sat there watching, as any "Normal" person would. I was thinking about how good it would be to run down the stone steps and push Tom into the fountain, when Mick suggested we play his favourite game. Coin Dare. Now if you've never played dare coin, you simply pick one side to be a certain dare and one side to be another, and which ever one comes up you have to do. But the last couple of rounds Mick kept getting all the easy dares and I was getting so frustrated about it that I threw the coin up in the air as hard as I could. I closed my eyes real tight and waited for the sound of it hitting the floor and Mick laughing about my bad luck again. But, I didn't hear anything, not even the cars moving. I waited a couple more seconds, this was starting to get weird. I peaked opened my eyes to see that the coin had frozen! Like in mid-air! I looked around wondering if other people were seeing the same thing, but everyone else in the class was frozen as well! I was so scared that ran over to Mr. Trench, trying to get him to move. By now I started freaking out, I ran down the street trying to get peoples attention but no one responded! But they were as still as statues. I ended up running back to the class, feeling worse than I had before. I looked over at Mick and what I saw instantly stopped my break down for a couple of seconds. I could see myself. Like I could see a faint hologram of me, from where I was sitting. I walk over to it and experimentally waved my hand through it. But, nothing happened. Now, I was starting to freak out again, but some part of brain thought. Calm down. And just, concentrate. So, being the idiot, I was, I sat down next to Mick, closed my eyes and thought as hard as I could. Scrunching up my face along with it. And, to my amazement, I heard a coin hit the ground and the traffic sounds started up again. I immediately opened my eyes, so fast that I got dizzy. When I looked around everyone was moving and talking like nothing happened. The only thing that was off was Mick. He was looking straight at me with those piercing eyes and asked, "How did you get behind me?". "I... I don't know", which was obviously a lie.

Just when I was about to brush this off as a dyslexic thing I caught a glimpse of Mr. Trench looking straight at me. When he noticed I was staring at him, he motioned for me to head inside to talk to him! Oh No! I thought. Did he just see what happened? He pointed at me and then at the bank and me ,being the ignorant guy I was, trudged off into the bank with Mr trench right behind me!
