He quickly got ready for school, excited at what the day might bring. When he was finished, he grabbed for the stone and made a wish, not realizing that what he held in his hand was actually The Clique Stone.
"I wish..." He was about to finish the sentence when a knock on his door interrupted the wish. He went to see who it was.
It was his mother. "Jon, the garbage truck is down the street. Can you go take the garbage in the kitchen out before they get to our house."
He sighed. Just when he was about to do something. he put the stone on the dresser. No one would think it was anything but an interesting stone, it could hide in plain sight for a moment.
He ran downstairs to get the garbage.
Meanwhile...
