The ride to school was surprisingly quiet for Jon. As much as he wanted to continue to test the watch more he knew that even with the watch he had to be careful. Even though he felt safer with the stone back at home hidden under the floor boards he wished he had it for the added protection. He chuckled at the irony of his wish for the wish stone and waited as the bus started to empty. Jon looked at the groups already formed outside of the schools entrance and charted the safest path for him to get in with the least trouble and then stopped. 'Why should I avoid trouble ? I can fix things!' he thought, 'I can do more than fix things.' He chuckled then and his mind started to go over the students and faculty outside of school still.
Biff Meadows was high on his priority list for a change. Biff found opportunity throughout the school year to harass, bully, and beat Jon as well as others below Biff's social status. Jon wanted to find a special and particular humiliation for the captain of the football team and along with him his girlfriend Sarah McMillan. She was the queen of the cheerleaders, and head bitch of the school. With her wealth, looks, and popularity Sarah was quite literally the closest the school had to royalty. She walked all over the teachers and administrators, and had the jocks and cheerleaders keep every other student group in line.
Jon grabbed his backpack and made his way off the bus. What last week felt like a World War II minefield now started to look more like a game of the Sims. He could control or change any of the students or teachers if he wanted to.
Jon knew that he would need some support from teachers and administrators to really make an impact at school. He started to think about the possibilities there; Ms. Watson his English teacher had just got her credential, only a few years older than some of her students she was already the focus of a number of her male student's fantasies. Mrs. Raiford taught all of the science classes, biology, physics, and a general science course. She was in her mid thirties, and Jon was hard pressed to imagine her attractive with her dowdy fashion sense. Coach Johnson came to mind as he thought about the cheerleaders again. She had been the coach for the cheerleaders for the last two years, and this year took over the normal PE class as well because of budget cuts. Like Ms. Watson, Coach Johnson was in her mid 20's, and was a knoc
Jon's train of thought was shoved off of the tracks. He never saw the group of jocks as they rushed past him from behind. Two solid hands slapped his back hard while he was mid step which immediately caused him to trip forward. He managed to bring his hands up to save his head from a bounce off the ground. "WOOOOAHH!" was all he was able to get out on the way down. As he looked up, Biff Meadows and his friends Steve 'The Stud' Farber and Mike 'Moose' Matthews laughed and kept up their quick pace to slip into school before a teacher spotted them around the fallen student.
Jon groaned and started to get up to his feet, "God Damn it!! Even with this thing nothing changes! What the fuck is wrong with me!" Before Jon could continue his tirade he was interrupted.
"AHEM!"
Jon froze and closed his eyes; he didn't need to turn around to know whose voice had just been cleared.
