2 When it all started

If I remember correctly, it was my second year of high school.

I was eating, or drinking something; I don't really remember to be frank. It fell I saw it fall, touch the ground. I probably wished to go back few second to catch it.

Then it happened, I felt my head spin little and then I had that ice cream in my hand, just before it fell. This time, I reacted before it touched the ground, and caught it mid-air.

I felt as if this was just some daydream and forgot about it.

Then it happened several times.

Once I locked myself out of my house, thought 'only if I could get back one minute. Then with a spin, I was back inside, facing table where I put the keys.

All these were subconscious attempts, which I dismissed as daydreams.

After this happened few more times, I began to think if I had a condition. Went to the school nurse, who thought I was joking.

Then, one day, I was able to do this consciously. It was during first month of the semester.

A kid was playing on the upper floors, he slipped & he fell. I saw his body bounce on the ground, once, twice, then it lay flat, face down on the ground.

I thought about all that happened in past weeks, then thought of going back five minutes. There I was, on the ground floor about five minutes before that kid fell. I ran upstairs, so to reach him.

I wasn't able to…

I was stopped by a teacher for running in hallway. As I reached the top floor, I saw his body moving across the railing, then heard thump, then again. Then it was all silent.

…

Our school was closed due to the incident for two days. This whole thing shook me from inside. There was a ceremony to mourn his death. Then, it all went back to normal.

I decided to never do 'that' again.

We finished the first semester, the exams were over. The summer vacations started.
