I'm John Smith, a student at Canyon Bay High, and I have always dreamt of being able to stop time and all of the fun that I could have with it. I am starting my senior year at high school and my year so far has been pretty great! But I did not realize how great my year would actually be until one day in my history class...
It was Monday, and we had just begun a new chapter in the most boring history textbook ever created. Mr. Clark, our teacher, was teaching us about the Mongols and how they rode on what the textbook described as "fierce little ponies". I have got to admit, the book wasn't all that bad. Sitting to my left was he girl of my dreams, Sarah. She wasn't really tall but she wasn't really short either. She had a pale complexion and a cute southern accent. She was also nice and could always make me laugh, even if I was sad.
One problem was that she already had a boyfriend, and another was that I lusted after her even though I knew it was wrong, due to my raging teenage hormones.
As Mr. Clark was teaching, a girl on the other side of the classroom, Jocelyn, would not stop talking. I wondered if she ever got tired of hearing her own voice. I did not feel like listening other anymore, so I tried to tune her out as best I could. And I did. However, I noticed that the entire room fell silent, and nobody moved. I even saw a pen just floating in midair, like it was about to hit the ground!
