Jon wondered whether it was safer to hide the stone at home or take it to school with him. After much deliberation, he decided to take it with him. He could just keep it in his locker. It was probably safer there than anywhere else.
At least, that would be true if it were the normal wishing stone. But, unknown to Jon, it was actually The Proximity Stone, which granted any wish made within twenty feet of it. And since a lot of people generally walked past Jon's locker, there was a good chance that a lot of wishes would come true.
