The Field Trip

Marcus My character's family has abusive parents and they expect him to ace all his tests and be excellent at everything, when they, themselves are not excellent at anything. They will get angry at almost anything and punish him. He doesn’t do well in academics and gets mostly C’s and D’s. He likes to fight but his parents don’t let him train. He is selfish and not very nice. I went into the forest for an adventure. Yes, that kid just summoned fire. No way, a genie is real, but if it is, it may as well help us beat arm-on-fire kids.

I always liked school. I liked to follow my friends until today. Today we went on a field trip. We decided to go off track into the forest. Then we saw someone, his name was Damion. Our parents told us to stay away from him, but my friends followed him because he said: guys I show you something dangerous. I‘ve always been the guy that jumped onto the bandwagon, but sadly I did that today too. That changed my life. We went with Damion into the forest, deep into the forest. Then he leads us to a house. At the house, he somehow set his hand on fire. He chased us all around the forest saying: you can run but you can’t hide. Then that’s when we fell into a hole near a constitution site. One person found a pot. In that pot was a genie. The genie popped out and fire shot through it and it disappeared. Lots of us suspected it was dead, and Damion walked towards us with a flaming hand preparing to kill us all then we heard a voice.

Celina School. An institution for educating children that is mandatory. I didn’t think much about it, but I pretty much knew everything that was going to happen, so that was acceptable. Predictability. That was the key. I like to know everything that’s going to happen. I rarely get surprised, since I panic sometimes and create many scenarios that might happen. My parents weren’t too strict but they weren’t too cool with everything either. They were just average. Everything was just average. Normal. With that out of the way, we were going on a school trip today. Our history teacher, Mr. Markle, was pretty excited. He kept blabbering on and on repeating this one phrase. “Back in my day…” Honestly, he was a nice guy. He was explaining everything so excitedly I couldn’t help but feel happy too, yet it was still boring. Why would I need to know how the people churned butter back then? How would this information benefit me in the future? And finally, we all had an opportunity to slip away from that dull class that was going on. And… they’re going to the forest. How idiotic! We don’t even know what’s in there! I should tag along just in case they do something foolish. Though I guess I should admit that I was a bit curious too… Walking, walking, and more walking. Nothing unusual or dangerous was happening, though I couldn’t help but feel uneasy. Ah, yes. There it is. Suspicious voices saying suspicious things, suspicious footsteps and an even more suspicious classic line. “You can run but you can’t hide.”

Pfft, his attitude ruined the whole ominous feeling of those words. Are they practicing for a play or are they roleplaying? That person was Damion. I remember him. My parents always told me not to get involved with him. I kind of want to laugh right now. He looks like a wannabe emo with his dark trench coat and dyed hair. Probably practicing for a play. I was too immersed in judging him that I didn’t notice that the group of children I was with started to follow him. Curiosity killed the cat, they said, but satisfaction brought it back. I’ll follow them. For now, though. If they do something foolish, suspicious or weird, I’m out of here. Sometimes it’s best to listen to your fears. Listening to my fears would be great right now! I think we’re about to be sacrificed in a weird satanic ritual. Oh, dear God, is Damion in a cult or something?! He cut his hand and now it’s on fire! Run. Run, run, run! We should run! And we were running. Long story short, it started raining as we ran, but Damion was chasing us, uttering that ominous phrase with his snobbish attitude that ruined the whole thing. “You can run but you can’t hide.” Every time he says that I would snort internally. It was raining, so you would think the flames on his hands would have died down now. Nope! It was like we were adding fuel to the fire. His whole arm was on fire now. We trip over a few roots and rocks and fall off a cliff. Ouch. I regret following them. A tea kettle. Why was there a tea kettle in a construction site?! How would this help us?! What would we do, make tea? Best case scenario, Deanna chucks it at Damion and it hits him in the head making him pass out. Unfortunately, she rubs the tea kettle. What is she doing?! What is this? Aladdin? Definitely not.

To my surprise, a cloud-like thing floats out of the spout and takes the form of a man. Wow, I must be hallucinating.

Chris

At 7 PM my mom wakes me up “Chris come on wake up you're going to be late for school!” she says. I grumble, wanting to stay in bed because my school is very boring but I have to do school so I get out of my bed and get dressed. My mom is making lunch while my dad is eating breakfast, reading a newspaper “good morning” my dad says in a chinese accent “hi” I say and take a bite out of my toasted sourdough with butter. After I finish breakfast I almost forgot my forms which allow me to go on today's mystery trip if everybody was good at school so I put them in my backpack before I went on my way. On the way I almost tripped while I was walking to the school bus “ahh” I screamed before catching myself. I sigh in relief because last time I tripped I cut my knee really badly. After I get in the bus I sit down at the seat I usually sit in. After taking a quick nap on the bus I get off and head inside. “Welcome everybody,” says Mr. Markle, “Today is the day where you get to go on the mystery trip I promised you so hope you brought your forms or else you can’t go” he says. “Now everybody take your forms and put them on top of your desk”. I reach in my backpack and grab my form and lay it on the table, Mr. Markle comes and looks at my desk “good seems like you have brought your form.” After Mr. Markle checks all of the forms he tells us to go the buses outside, after a while of looking at butter machines we decide once Mr. Markle is not looking, we should sneak away because the trip is very boring. After sneaking away and going in the woods we see a guy talking to someone else “ YOU CAN RUN BUT YOU CAN’T HIDE” some people in our class decide to take cover while I walk up to the man and ask ”are you selling drugs?????” The boy who we recognize as Damion “who gave you the right to do that?” he says in a Karen like voice “you snuck out, that's pretty cool” he says “follow me”. As we follow Damion he goes in an old rotting looking house. “Now this is your last chance to chicken out” I say “then why don’t you do it!”walks in like he owns the place and we all see a circle on the ground drawn in red chalk, Damion says “any volunteers?” and Victor steps into the circle, Damion lights the circle on fire with his lighter that he plays with at the back of class and says “DON’T CHICKEN OUT.” He takes a pocket knife out of his coat, Victor steps back a little bit but is still kind of in the circle. Then for some reason, Damion cuts the palm of his right hand and once the blood hits the

ground his hand lights on fire. Victor for some reason goes near Damion and gets burned and we run and he says “YOU CAN RUN BUT YOU CAN’T RUN'' and it starts to rain and we hopefully think that the fire will be put out but when we look back Damion’s right arm is now on fire. After running for my life I recall that Mr. Markle said to be careful because there are cliffs that kind of appear out of nowhere. As I thought about that I could not feel the ground and I look down. My classmates and I are falling off a cliff but luckily we land in a mud puddle and as I look to the left I see that there are no trees. There are also no trees on the right side and there is some construction stuff. There were a lot of large holes in the ground then a burst of hot fire came so we all ducted into one of the large holes that is filled with muddy water. As we all try to hide and Deanna finds a tea kettle and in desperation and remembering the movie Aladin she rubs the kettle and suddenly a ethereal person looking thing comes out of the kettles spout and says “hm this is a strange place to take a swim” but then Damion blows a streak of fire through it and it disappears. I suddenly have a bad feeling about this weird looking thing becoming dust.

Deanna If you ask me, I just witnessed the most terrifying and the craziest thing anybody’s ever witnessed. Let’s start from the beginning. We were on this field trip to Pioneer Village. Our history teacher, Mr Markle, was really excited. Mr Markle’s really nice. He doesn’t really give us homework, which is awesome, but he’s also REALLY boring. Sometimes, if the bell forgets to ring, he’d keep us in his classroom for the entirety of recess and not even realize it. Before this trip, Mr Markle made us study about the place. Now, as our bus pulled into the parking lot, Mr Markle started talking about rules and stuff. No running off, no dishonouring the school, no touching stuff unless you’re allowed, don’t run into the forest because there are cliffs, all that boring stuff. Finally, we hop off the bus. I took a look around and seriously, it looked pretty boring. First stop: This weird museum of a house. The tour guide was talking about the horrors students had to face back then. Apparently, Mr Markle really likes Dunce Caps because he was trying to get everyone to wear one on display. Just as the tour guide was talking about churning butter and stuff to Mr Markle, we decided to run off to the forest. That’s when things started to go weird. As we were walking, I thought, “Wait. No one comes back here…. OH YEAH! NO ONE’S HERE TO FIND US! WOO!” We kept walking through the forest since I guess everyone thought it was cool. Then, Charles stopped. “Do you hear that?” I listened carefully. It was faint but as we walked it grew louder. It sounded like two people arguing. “Well,” a voice said angrily, filled with teenage anguish “that was the price yesterday, but not today!” We walked towards the voice though I saw some people stay where they were and hide behind some trees. Then, someone stepped on a branch. The crack was loud. The voices stopped immediately. “Did you bring anyone with you?” The same voice said. “I told you to come alone.” All the smart people held their tongue, but Charles had to talk. “Are you selling drugs?” As soon as Charles said that, we heard footsteps run to the opposite direction. The voice called out, “You can run, but you can’t hide!” This was getting creepier by the second, but creepy became creepy x100000000, when the person who had just talked turned around and said too calmly, “No, I’m not selling drugs.” The worst thing was that I recognized him. He was a boy from our school who was a year older than us. His name was Damian. He was the type of kid your parents would call “bad company”. He was dressed in long dark pants and a trench coat, with kinda long black hair swept over his eye. In other words, he was an anime wannabe. “Do you have manners?” Chris asked. Damian ignored him. “You guys snuck away? That’s kinda cool,” he nodded approvingly, but in a creepy way. We said nothing. “Well since you guys are so… rebellious, do you want to see something creepy?”

Something creepy? This was starting to feel like an adventure was starting. And I always crave an adventure over boring history classes. Without waiting for an answer, Damian walked deeper into the forest. We followed, even the people who were hiding. Gradually, it felt darker. Maybe it was the trees or a weather change. It was supposed to be a sunny day, but I guess sometimes the weather forecast is wrong. Damian leads us to this shack. The door’s been knocked down. There’s a steeple, but there’s a mark on that steeple. It looks like a symbol but I can’t make it out. He turns around. “Last chance to chicken out,” he said, a smile creeping across his face. Damian walked in like he owned the place. If this was where he lived, I wouldn’t be surprised. Then Damian asked, “Do we have any volunteers?” Victor walked in first. When nothing happened, everyone else followed. As I walked in, I couldn’t help but notice a bright red circle drawn in the room with something that looked like chalk. Damian walks into the center of the circle, Victor makes to follow, but Damian pulls out a pocket knife. Immediately, I thought, He’s going to kill us, he’s going to kill us! Apparently, Victor thought the same thing since he froze. Damian walked towards him, brandishing the pocketknife. Victor backed away, but Damian stayed where he was. He looked up and shouted angrily, “Can you see me now? Can you see how many I’ve brought you?” Damian cuts his hand and a single gash opens spilling blood to the floor. The moment the blood hits the ground, Damian’s hand catches on fire. At this point, I’m thinking, What the heck? Am I hallucinating? Ok, ok. Keep calm. What’s happened so far? We went on a field trip. Then we ran away to the woods, then we met Damian. Why is Damian here? I don’t know he just is. Um, He lead us to a shack and now his hand’s on fire. Very normal. Everything’s fine. Just a flaming emo kid who looks like he wants to kill us. Perfectly - Then Victor touched Damian’s fire hand and I saw him jerk his hand like he’d touched something hot which he did. But now I was thinking, AHHH! THAT’S REAL FIRE, EVEN THOUGH I DEFINITELY DIDN’T KNOW THAT TWO SECONDS AGO! PANIC MODE! The same thought seemed to occur to everyone else because everyone started boogying out the door. And Damian said the same thing I heard him say to the other person: “You can run, but you can’t hide!” Strangely, when it was just dark before it was now raining. The forecast had been slightly wrong before but it’s never been forecasted as sunny with 0% chance of rain, then raining. But the good news about rain? Water puts out fire. As I run, I take a glance behind me. It seems like Damian’s whole arm is on fire. How the heck does that fire work? He’s chasing us too. He makes eye contact with me and it’s so terrifying that I look away immediately. My brain goes into panic mode and random thoughts bombard me. My brain replays the scene on the bus, just as Mr Markle is explaining the rules. “No running off, try not to dishonor the school, don’t touch stuff unless you’re allowed to, and don’t go into the forest.” I thought about the situation we were in right now. We ran off, probably dishonored the school, touched a creepy shack, and ran off into the forest. We… we are probably screwed when we get back. But why? I knew Mr Markle had said something about not going into the forest… Oh yeah. He said don’t go to the forest because there are -

“AHHHHH!” The ground had disappeared from our feet. In my head, I finished the thought. Don’t go to the forest because there are cliffs. And now here we were. Probably falling to our deaths. I hate heights. They freak me out. Now I have a justification for that hatred: I once almost fell to my death, getting chased by a flaming emo kid, because we ran into the forest. Sounds about right. But even though part of me was freaking out, the other part of me started analyzing the situation. So, there’s a bunch of holes. There’s some construction equipment but no people. That’s weird and I’m hungry. Wonder if they’re making a basement, and HOLY COW. WE’RE GETTING CLOSE TO THE GROUND. IMPACT IN 3, 2, 1. Then my body went into a roll I learned in gym class. Apparently, it helps absorb the impact. In other words, it helps you not die instantly. As I landed, a fireball seemed to shoot over my head. Since when could it rain fireballs? I continue running but I trip over something and fall face first into the water. Great. Of all the places and times you could’ve tripped, it had to be in the middle of the forest in a bunch of mud. I’m not sure what I tripped over but I stopped and reached into the muck. My hands close around something smooth and small. It feels like brass. I pulled it out. It’s a brass tea kettle and it looks… really old. I mean, if any tea kettle would be old since almost NO ONE in the 21st century uses them, but this one looked 1800s old. Damian’s staring straight down looking at the tea kettle, and at that moment, I decide 2 things. 1) There’s nothing scarier than a flaming emo boy, and 2) Aladdin could be real. In that moment of desperation, I did something really stupid. In that crazy moment, which probably determined I was crazy, I rubbed the lamp. Nothing happened. I didn’t really expect it to but it was still kind of a disappointment. But just as I was thinking that, guess what? A FREAKING GENIE SPROUTED FROM IT SPOUT. I stumbled back because I’ve just witnessed something scientists have always said was impossible. What the heck!? Does this Genie grant wishes? Am I hallucinating? What in tarnation is going on? The genie looked around. “This… is a weird place to swim,” he said. I was still gaping at him. Just then, another fireball hit the genie in the chest. Crap. I’d forgotten about Damian. Anyways, I didn’t have time to focus on flaming Damian. I’d just witnessed a genie who’d just got hit by a fireball. Well, sort of. The genie was….made of smoke. So it kind of went through him. But even though he was made of smoke, he just disappeared. Yeah, I’m definitely hallucinating. I mean, flaming kids and genies don’t exist, right? I just… hit my head really hard on uh, the butter churner. Yeah, that makes sense. Um, very normal. Except, why is Damian still staring at us with a flaming arm? AHHHHHHHHHH!

Liz Zhang You know, as charming and smart as I am, I never had expected to see a firebender in front of me. The school I went to was sheltering a capable firebender this whole time. Damion is a rather brute and “cool” person, the exact opposite to me. I am a rather weak and slow person but I have intellect. I charm easily so I can get permission to what I want and need.I also get to know mostly what I want. What I didn’t know was that he could summon fire and was running top speed. He looked as if he wanted to kill us so as the weak, slow person I was, I attempted to run from the FASTEST person in the entire school. I was running away from a damn death omen. That is when I lost what is known as ground and fell onto a dogpile known as my class. A person found some sort of a lampish cup and rubbed it. I was about to say “don’t clean cups while we are running from a death omen” but it turns out it was the home of some sort of hologram-ish like creature. If it wasn’t for the fact that they promised me hall passes I would’ve not been stuck in this catastrophe of a day. Thanks, the worst goddamn class in the whole school!

My character really did nothing So i don't know what to say but if I was there, my family would have liked that school, I was feeling happy on a field trip and a little curious. I went to the forest because I wanted to see some animals and find some mysteries. My impression of Damion was that I wanted to beat up Damion. I don't think he just summoned fire out of nowhere. I first thought he was a little sus so I think Damion has some power or he is a creature. I think it would be weird just running in a construction site. It would just be creepy and abandoned. Finding a tea kettle in the middle of nowhere is kinda creepy. If I found a genie I would get happy but a dead genie that's another story. If I found a dead genie, I would be disgusted.

Kylie

I was at home enjoying a lovely pizza when suddenly, my dog started barking and my dad came down the stairs and said that I was going to be late to school if I don’t be quick. My mom packed my backpack and my dad drove me to school. Thankfully, I was not late. Our first class was history class, which was super boring because the teacher is. And we went on a field trip. Mr. Marcle was boring and so we all slept away from him when he was staring at an old fashioned slide. We met Damion and he was chasing us with a flaming hand. We fell down a cliff and landed in mud. Then Deanna tripped over a teapot. And she rubbed it. A genie came out and got hit by Damion’s flaming hand.

Bingyin

Alright, let’s start things off from the beginning shall we? But first, I have a question for you all, do you like stories? Well if you do then today’s your lucky day! Hi there, my name’s Mei, I was originally born in Tokyo, Japan. But when I was about five years old, me, my mom, and my younger sister, Natsu, moved to Canada. My father and older brother, Shoma, stayed in Japan. I haven't seen them since.

Okay, now we’re getting off topic. This is supposed to be the story of how me and my class come across a genie, but first let me tell you a bit about me and my family. As you already know, I have a younger sister, Natsu, who is currently seven years old. If you didn’t already know, her name means “born in summer” in Japanese. Next is my mom, it’s not that she’s a bad person or anything, but she spends a lot of time at work which leaves me to have to take care of Natsu. Then there’s me, I really can’t say much because I really don’t know myself that well. I know that may sound strange to hear because technically I should know myself better than anyone else because, well, I’m me. But to be honest, I feel kinda lost these days, and I don’t know why. That’s pretty much all I know about my family, I spend most of my time either at school or with Natsu. Then again, there’s also Shoma and my dad but I don’t remember anything about them anymore. They’ve kinda just become blurry outlines of people I should but I don’t know. Anyways, let’s finally start the story, shall we? So, it all started when the whole class went on a field trip to this pioneer thingy. It was so boring that I almost fell asleep. Now I'm not a bad student or anything, I just hate history class. So when our history teacher wasn't looking, we all slipped away and went into the forest. Looking back now, I honestly don’t know why I even went. I just wanted to have some fun and explore the forest with everyone else. I mean it’s not like I actually have any friends but Natsu. I personally just prefer to be alone and the fact that I hate large crowds of people. As we headed deeper into the forest, it slowly dawned on me that we were pretty much lost. Just as I started to panic, I heard voices coming from up ahead. A bunch of people surged forward toward the voices. I heard what sounded like a voice of a teenager saying something like,“Well that might’ve been the price

yesterday, but that was…….” “Did you hear something?” At that point I was terrified and without thinking, I jumped into the bushes. I saw a bunch of other people hide as well but one kid walked up to the teenager who I then recognized to be Damion, a kid who goes to our school but is a year older than us. One of my classmates then walked up to him and said, “Are you selling drugs?” “No, I'm not selling drugs”, Damion replied back. I couldn’t believe that he was literally having a conversation with Damion. Then out of the blue Damion randomly said, “You want to see something dangerous?” And for some stupid reason we all agreed and followed him deeper into the forest. A while later Damion finally stopped and said, “It’s just up here, now's the last chance to chicken out.” We came to a strange broken down building. There was some sort of symbol that I couldn’t quite make out of the roof. The door was broken and the windows were shattered. Nonetheless Damion walked in as though he owned the place. “Do we have any volunteers?“ Damion asked all of us. “Me!” a bunch of people started yelling. A kid named Victor walked in first. As he did that, I noticed that in the dirt was a bright red circle and Damion was lighting candles around it. “Now don’t chicken out,” he said all seriously. He then drew from his jacket a long skinny pocket knife. That’s when I started feeling a bit scared to be honest, I mean what kind of person casually kept a knife in their pocket? Victor froze as still as a statue, watching Damion walk toward him brandishing the knife. Victor then quickly moved out of the circle before Damion could reach him and said, “Would anyone else like to go?” Nobody else said a thing, I guess that meant nobody was really wanting to get stabbed or something. But instead of being angry, Damion just said, “DO you see how many I've brought for you?” What the heck was he talking about, I wondered. Then without a single moment of hesitation, Damion scraped the pocket knife across the palm of his right hand and as the single drop of blood fell into the circle his right hand set on fire. For some reason, Victor then stepped forward toward Damion. Damion grabbed Victor with his burning hand and let’s just say it was definitely real fire. Seeing what happened to Victor, me and everybody else took off running as fast as we could, Damion ran after us, with his hand still on fire. “You can run but you can’t hide,” Damion called out after us. Then just as I thought things couldn’t get any worse, it began to pour rain. It was like the sky was dumping the ocean on us. I looked back in hopes that this atleast put the fire out but

his whole arm seemed to be on fire which didn’t make any sense whatsoever. As we all kept running deeper into the forest, tripping over newly exposed roots ever so often, I suddenly recalled being told that there were cliffs in these forests and they were really hard to spot. Suddenly just as I was dwelling on the thought, I realized that there was no ground beneath me and me and my classmates were falling. I suddenly saw my life flash before my eyes, was this the end? Was this how I was going to die? Natsu needed me and I was just going to leave her? THUD! Me and the rest of the class hit the ground and started to slide down a muddy hill. As I looked around it seemed that all the trees had been cleared out of the section we were sliding down. It seemed to be a construction sight of some sort. There were holes all over the ground. As this thought came to mind, a streak of red, hot fire bursted above us and I dived into one of the holes with the others. The hole was large, about calf high. We all stumbled around in it in hopes to hide. Somewhere to the left of me a girl named Deanna seemed to have tripped over something, assuming it was a rock, I ignored it and kept trying to hide. But a few moments later, Deanna seemed to have pulled an old, dirty looking tea kettle out of the muck. At that moment Damion had caught up to us and was staring straight at the tea kettle. It was a total mess, people were thrashing around in the water, screaming and yelling, and smashing into each other. Then for some strange and random reason Deanna started to rub the tea kettle like her life depended on it. Suddenly everybody stopped moving. It was dead silent, out of the tea kettle came a strange almost translucent like person. It looked around, “Oh, this is a strange place to take a swim.” Just as he said this a burst of fire shot right through it and the person disappeared. What the heck was that?! I wondered.

The Field Trip By Catherine

Catherine was an elementary student that lived in Wood avenue street. She often panics and is afraid of spiders. One day Catherine was going to school. She was going on a history field trip. She hoped that it would not be boring like her history class. Mr. Markle was a very nice but boring teacher who loved to talk about uninteresting subjects. Catherine boarded the bus with her classmates. They arrived at Pioneer Field with Mr. Markle. Pioneer Field with a very calm place that was covered in fresh green grass. Catherine could clearly see why their history teacher liked it. He always liked calm places with absolutely nothing interesting. Catherine and her classmates learned about the school in the old days. They saw an old copper horse shoe. The whole class moaned silently about how boring it was. One of the students whispered “Oh my, I thought field trips were funnier than regular class but this one is not”. Another said “I would rather sleep for 3 days then be here”. Then one of the students whispered “Why don’t we go sneak off into the forest”. “No, we are going to get into big trouble” shouted Catherine. Then someone said “Shut up, I want to go on this adventure, it is going to be so much fun”. Then Catherine's classmates sneaked out of the door and out. The rest of the class followed. Catherine thought I better go out and stop them. The class walked in the forest. The forest had big solid pine trees and smelled like pine needles. Catherine thought that this was a bad idea and she said “I think we should go back, we are going to get back, we are going to get into trouble”. As they walked into the forest they felt darker and darker. Then they heard a voice talking to someone else. One of the voices was loud and it was clearly mad. “Did you bring people? I told you to come alone”. Catherine and the rest of the class quickly hide behind the trees. Catherine then peeked behind the tree and saw Damion. Catherine for one moment thought that she must need glasses but after taking another peek she was sure of it. Damion was one of the classmates in her school. He had hair that was dyed black and was wearing a green shirt. Suddenly one of the classmates tripped over a rock. Damion saw him and asked “Would you like to see something dangerous?” Damion then led them to a small wooden building.

The small building looked like it was going to collapse and had a strange symbol on the top. Damion opened the door and inside there was a grey circle. One of Catherine’s braver classmates steps inside the circle. Damion drew a pocket knife from his pocket and slid across his hand and his hand turned into fire. Then all of a sudden he started chasing them. “Run” shouted one of the people. Then the class all started to run. It started to rain. Catherine hoped that it would stop the fire but when she looked back she saw his hand still burning. As the rain washed away the mud there were roots. Then Catherine remembered what their teacher said not to run there are cliffs. Then just as she remembered it, the class runned into a cliff and went down it. She looked up and saw the burning hand and duck left into a hole and Deanna saw a lantern and rubbed. If there was a genie then it disappeared. What happened thought Catherine.

The field trip Name: TIFFANY

What your character's family is like, do they enjoy school etc? My character's family is strict, and lives with high expectations. The mom (in the story) : She is strict and always does the household work such as cleaning, doing the laundry and cooking. The dad (in the story) : He is always doing work and is always very cold and grumpy, But they all know he is kind deep down. The older brother (in the story): He is very annoying and Always gets in fights with bullies and his parents, He also brags a lot. Me: Nice and kind but is quite short-tempered and can get angry sometimes. Also is a bit shy sometimes when in the spotlight.

What were you feeling on the field trip I was feeling bored in the beginning because Mr. Markle is very boring and when we were exploring the forest I felt kind of excited because the forest felt nice and sentimental . When we discovered the voice of Damien I felt like a Snobby Karen by his voice. When he led us to the circle I was feeling very scared and then when his hand was on fire I was ready to die and feeling defeated.

why did you go into the forest We went in the forest because we were exploring the forest in the beginning of the story. I think we should have not ran too much though.

what is your impression of Damion My impression of Damion is like probably a snobby Karen and because our parents said to stay away from him, I think he is probably dangerous including the fact that his hand was on fire .

Did that kid just summon fire??? I think he did but it seems like very powerful magic. But either way it was definitely fire.

running into the construction site I did not feel comfortable at all, It felt very wrong to follow some random person who your parents say to stay away from, So I think doing that was pretty wrong especially when damion summoned fire. I mean who does that?!, By that point I think running into the construction sight was most likely death.

Deanna finds a tea kettle I think she thought there might be a genie of a sort cause she actually rubbed it. I suppose it was worth a shot, And I almost fainted when a real genie came out.

a GENIE???? I think it actually was a genie, I mean if it wasn’t what else could it be? So I'm 78% sure it was a genie or a big fat cloud that was floating too low. So I probably was a genie and if it was I wish for a million pizzas!

a dead genie????? I don’t think so, Cause genies don’t just die when something goes through it, So it's not dead. Plus if it was the tea kettle would probably be destroyed.

Victor - Class 1 - The Field Trip

On the field trip, I was both excited, and bored because I waited on the bus for so long and we still had not arrived. Our class was going to a Museum and we went there to check out cool things that I didn't even care about. When we finally arrived, which seemed like days, I quickly ran out of the bus and into the museum because I really needed fresh air. Our class went to the museum but after a while, our teacher, Mr.Markle, said he had to do something and he wandered off somewhere. That also meant that we could do whatever we wanted and he wouldn’t find out! So our class went deep inside the woods which was very wet, and I felt that it was very breezy and cool. After a few moments, my classmate Chris ran into a guy called Damian, which my parents told me not to meet and talk with him. For some weird reason Chris asked him “Are you selling drugs?”I thought that was kind of brave for Chris because Damian was a year older than Chris and taller than him. Damian tells us to follow him because he wants to show us something dangerous and reluctantly I follow. We ran deeper through the woods and we came to a temple of some sort with a sacrificial circle in the middle. Damian asked who wanted to come to the sacrificial circle and I volunteered. I thought it was pretty cool, until Damian pulled out a pocket knife and started moving toward me with his knife out. Now I didn’t want to be the volunteer anymore so I started backing up. Surprisingly, he cut his own hand and his blood started dripping onto the sacrificial circle. Suddenly his hand blazed to fire and I made a run for it into the woods and my class followed. I then remembered Mr.Markle warning me that there was a construction site around here and a cliff, but It was too late and the whole class fell down a cliff and onto a construction site. It was really muddy since it was raining but then, Diana, my other classmate tripped over a Jug or some sort and my mind went straight to a Genie lamp.

SESSION TWO

Kazmodo's First Day at School

Marcus After a while of running from the idiot with the flaming hand and the non-threatening threats. We fall into a giant pit, with an interesting tea kettle. We rub it, and a glowing genie floats out, and blows Damion’s fire hand out. I thought we were about to witness a fight between Damion and the Genie, but we hear Ms. Belle call for the class to meet at the school bus. The genie does some quickly tell us how he will grant us three wishes, but the catch is we have to let him come to Grand Mountain Academy for a week, cuz he’s bored of living in a tea kettle. As soon as we agree, he drops the terms and conditions on our faces by telling us, “You can’t wish for stuff relating to love, death, more wishes, and anything cool.” He disappears with his genie powers and the class walks to the school bus to bump into Damion talking to Ms. Belle like, “Yeah, so I just walked into the forest and saw your whole class in this pit, and I suddenly fell, and I brought a lighter though I know I shouldn’t have it, and I helped them out of the forest.” And Ms. Belle’s nodding and ignoring some students screaming at Damion about lying and having a flaming hand. We get on the bus and drive to the school, where we meet the genie, Kazmodo, who has now transformed into a human named Moe. He acts as a new student in the class and it almost works but the teacher cannot find his registration sheet, and gets brought down to the Principal's office. We lie about how he came from Australia or something, and he didn't have to take the sheet there so he didn’t know how to do it here. The principal believes it but he wants the sheet tomorrow. We later have science class and gym class, but before the gym class we make our first wish, wish is for everybody in the class to gain powers from fictional sources. So in dodgeball we had people stopping balls right in front of their faces, and all that superhuman stuff. Surprisingly Moe does not enjoy our amazing superpowers and wants to play dodgeball normally, but nobody listened anyway.

Damion saw the teacher come and kept saying that we fell into the hole and he also said that he warned us about the jungle and all. While he was saying all that, Chris was on the side yelling the word “liar” at a rate of 100 words per minute. Then the teacher told us all to go back to school. Then a genie suddenly popped out. We asked one wish, and that wish was to have superpowers. Somehow we had a pop quiz, and I aced it. Then I went to Physical Education class to play dodgeball. I unnaturally dodged all of the balls because my superpower was to have advanced acrobatics. Next, I had a science class. After school, I went home.

Justin

Celina “Kids! Where are you? We’ve been looking for you!” Ah, the teachers. They must be looking for us. Little did they know that we were in a pit about to be sacrificed by a wannabe emo. Someone lies and says that the teachers were here to get Damion in trouble. Probably believing what was said, Damion lowered his hand and the fire was extinguished. “Help!” He called. What are you doing? It’s your fault that we were in this mess in the first place! The teachers came and dragged us out of the pit, murmuring soothing words as the draped blankets across our shoulders. Someone was blabbering about what just happened to Mr. Markle. He didn’t look very skeptical about the whole thing, but he still probably didn’t believe us. Damion was lying about everything to the teacher. His tone had changed completely. “Yeah, I saw them running in the forest, so I warned them, but they kept running.” “Liar!” Chris shouts angrily/matter-of-factly/monotonously/boredly. He was ignored. We all get onto the bus, but there’s one more student. He has shoulder length hair and dark eyes wearing a red t-shirt with a rocket on it paired with blue jeans. “Are all your teachers that boring?” He asks, leaning on his hands, just like the genie from the tea kettle did. Someone answers. He asks a few more questions

such as, “What just happened?”, “What year is it?”, “Where did you find my kettle?” and “Who’s your president?” Then, we proceed to ask many questions about him. Someone asks for his name. “My name is Kazmodo, but you can call me Mo. (Or is is Moe?)” Kazmodo wants to learn about the world. He wants to go to school with us?! Why can’t he just go to the library and read some books? We negotiate about many things until someone invites Mo to the class. “Thank you!” He says, then disappears. The next day, he’s at our class. Oh, right. We made a deal. Mrs. Bell actually has common sense and notices that Mo is just in the class without her being informed and goes to the office to sort things out. As soon as Mrs. Bell was gone, Mo decided to grant a wish. Now we have powers that we desire? I wonder what mine is, I never actually thought about it since I never thought that something like this would happen. Mrs. Bell comes back and calls Mo to the office. Mo shoots us a meaningful look. “Oh, no! I hope I don’t get kicked out. That would be terrible!” Someone convinces Mrs. Bell that Mo just forgot to enroll. The others backed her up, convincing Mrs. Bell that Mo was a transfer student to help us learn about cultural differences. “Oh? Where is he from then?”

“Oh- uh, h-he didn’t tell us yet.” We stammered. “No, I’m pretty sure I did.” “Right! He’s from… Australia!” We covered up. Just then, Mo suddenly gained a terrible Australian accent. Good grief, could we have been more obvious? And now there’s a pop quiz. I absolutely hated pop quizzes. They just popped up whenever the teacher felt too lazy to teach a lesson. I always did horribly, so don’t cheat off me. “Oh, no! I hope I don’t fail a test on the first day!” Mo shoots us a meaningful look once again. Good grief, do we have to do everything? Someone disappears? No, turns invisible and from the looks of it, helps Mo. The bell rings and we all go to our next class, which is gym. The teacher is really dramatic as she explains that we’re going to play dodgeball, talking about it as if it’s a sacred ritual. Sheesh lady, just tell us how to split the teams and let’s get on with it! It’s a mess. Good grief, could we have been more obvious?! Balls are going through students, defying the laws of physics and exploding (that was me). This goes on for about forty minutes until class ends without any side winning or losing. The bell rings and we all head off to science class. Everyone disliked, no, hated, science class, and for good reason. The teacher was really mean. We didn’t just interpret him that way since we didn’t like the lessons, he was just plain mean. Before class, we were chatting and doing random stuff until the teacher walked in and decided to slam his textbook onto his desk. He did this every time, yet I still flinched. See what I mean?

Right after class started, he announced that we were doing an experiment and needed a volunteer. I’m definitely not volunteering. The teacher takes out a metal ball and a cord. He holds the cord to the ceiling and gives the metal ball to the volunteer. He tells the volunteer to let go. The ball swings across the classroom and almost hits the opposite wall and it went straight for the volunteer’s face. Right before it could hit the volunteer’s face, it swung in the opposite direction, hitting the wall. Did you just defy the laws of physics in front of a science teacher?! The teacher catches the ball and tells us to do a report. He then walks out of the classroom. Right after he left, Mo jumps up. “He knows,” Mo said. “Last time I was out of the kettle, they used to take people who did magic and set them on fire. But I’m sure you’re all in a more… enlightened environment and they’ll be more accepting of witches, don’t you think?” Right after, someone had a vision of the future and told us that the school was going to be on fire. Wow. I don’t know if that’s good or bad. When the teacher comes back, he acts completely normal, yet we still glance at him anxiously.

Chris

When Damion is about to probability blast us with fire or something we all hear someone yelling “HELLO ARE YOU THERE!, VICTOR!, CHRIS!,”ect someone takes this opportunity and tells Damion that they are going to get him in trouble so he puts down his hand and the fire is put out and then and then has the audacity to start yelling for help because “some kids fell of a cliff and they need help” or something I was to pissed from what he said so then Mr. Markle comes and helps us and raps us all in towels then again I was too pissed to be listening to who said it but they accused Damion and that instantly caught my attention but the teacher didn’t believe us and thought we were paranoid or something, then Damion as the AUDACITY to LIE TO THE TEACHERS and said “yea I was in the woods and I saw those kids running so I tried to warn them that there are cliffs and was chasing after us so he could stop us and cut his hand really bad or some bullcrap and I was super pissed and yelled “LIAR” but the teachers did not believe me. The teacher started to count heads and they counted 1 more head but they thought they miscounted and didn’t think much about it. Once we got on the bus to go back to the school we all spot a white kid sitting on the bus and ask who he is but we found that he was a Genie transformed we started asking questions and eventually the Genie said if he brings us to school for 3 days we get 3 wishes I said the Genie could come to the school and then he just disappeared and Victor got a bit worried, at our next class Ms. Bell's class, we start to do attendance and after Ms. Bell asks if she missed anyone and a kid in the back says “um you missed me” and then Ms. Bell asks who he is and he said that his name is Mo and he is new so Ms. Bell goes the principles office to clarify and after she leaves Mo says we can make a wish now and I say the wish so i say “I wish for everything that we do to have no consequences but everyone else says they will kill me so we change it to we get to have a power and after we get this weird feeling Ms. Bell says if she can talk to Mo for a second but after some lies about exchange students and that he is australian Ms. Bell believes us and says that we are going to have a pop quiz so some of us try to help Mo and cheat and I use my power which is if I can think about a power and it is possible in any way then I can do it so i look into the future and i see Mo get his test and ace it so I go back and finish the test and hand it in. After the pop quiz we go to our gym class and we play dodgeball and while I am strategizing everyone else was using their powers so that was chaos for the teacher and afterNext was science, now i like science as a subject but the teacher was the WORST, while we were waiting for the teacher to come i decided to look through the walls to see when the teacher was coming and he was on his way maybe like 20 more seconds or so I got ready for him to jumpscare us and got all of the books out of my backpack and then he comes out and SLAMS a textbook onto his desk which made everybody stop talking, he explains that he will be doing a experiment about the laws of physics and takes a ball that is very heavy and hooks it up and asks for a volunteer and at this point I stop paying attention because i watched a video about this and a knew how it worked and after the class Mo says that he just wants to have a normal school day like the rest of us not like a cheating on a test, powers in dodgeball and stuff like that, but then a vision kicked in and I saw the school on fire and my mind thinks that emo boy Damion did it so i tell everyone about it and ask who can put out fires and a couple people raise their hand and I also raise my hand because i can use my power to be able to control water after the talk about the school we all go

home and I eat dinner and go to sleep but I was kept up by the fact that the school was on fire so I used my power to make it so that I sleep very fast and 1 second later I am asleep

Liz Zhang I finally had my charm used. I charmed the teacher into thinking that Kazmodo is an exchange student from Australia that came here to learn about “social differences”. He just didn’t know how to sign in. He thankfully didn’t get kicked out so we could get a wish from the genie. I was the one who finalized the deal being that the whole class was allowed to choose a power. I chose to be the avatar because the avatar’s powers stem from the power of the mind, not that of the fists. I am weak but intelligent so it is the perfect power for me to get. The rest of the classes were mediocre except for dodgeball, which was a show of our newfound powers. The one strange thing is that one person had a vision in which they saw a vision of the school setting on fire. Us waterbenders will definitely have to be on guard. I think that it will be Damion’s doing as he can set fire to his hand, though there might be some more people who might be helping him. Who might it be?

We found an excuse for Mo/Kazmodo that he got transferred from a schooeves. Everyone got to wish for something because Mo was a genie and gave a wish to the class. Ms.Bell didn't know she got a new student and neither did the principal. The wish I choose is a different power when my eye changes color, my original eye color is white. We had a pop quiz. Mo didn’t know how to do it so we used our powers to help him. We had dodgeball and we were using our powers and stuff. In science class we used our magic to bully the science teacher and stuff, Mo is excited for science class but yeah. Chris had his first vision that the school is on fire!

Julie

Bingyin

This was a total disaster. The whole class was sloshing around in a very big hole filled with water, Damion had found us, and his hand was still on fire. I was almost 100% sure we were going to die right here right now, but suddenly I heard voices coming from above. “Kids! Anybody out here?” It was Mr.Markle! I was so relieved that we weren’t going to get shot to death by fire that I almost didn’t notice Damion lowering his flaming hand which extinguishes. “HELP! Help Us!” Damion called out. I saw the teachers approaching the hole saying stuff like, “Oh thank goodness, we were so worried about you guys.” There was suddenly a burst of voices as everyone tried to tell Mr.Markle about Damion and his flaming arm, but I knew no one would believe a word we said. Besides, Damion came up with this whole believable story and made him sound like the good guy. In the end we were led back to the school bus soaked and tired. But as Mr.Markle counted us “1,2,3…...16?” He seemed very confused. “Didn’t we have….oh nevermind I probably just miscounted.” “Alright we’re good to go,” He said to the bus driver. 16? Didn’t we have 15 students in our class? I wasn’t very good with numbers and I don’t really even remember all my classmates' names, but I was pretty sure there were only 15 students in the class. Suddenly I heard a strangely familiar voice come from the back of the bus. I turned around and there was a boy on the bus who was not part of our class. While I had light cherry blossom coloured eyes and long dark hair, he had shoulder length hair, dark eyes and was wearing a red rocket T-shirt matched with blue jeans and white sneakers. He glanced at us and said, “Are all your teachers like that?” He then made a familiar motion to the weird smoke guy who had been obliterated into pieces by Damion’s freaky fire powers. “What do you guys do for fun?” He asked us as though we’d all been friends for years. I stared at him. What the heck was he doing here? Who even was he and how did he get on the bus without anyone noticing? But instead of asking those questions that were spinning in my head, I said the first thing that came to mind, “read.” The weird boy glanced at me. “Oh, reading’s still a big thing?” “That’s good, I love to read!” Why was I talking to a random boy who somehow got onto our bus? I thought. It

was really strange, but apparently the boy was a genie who made a deal with us that if we took him to school for three days, he would grant the whole class three wishes. Oh ya, and his name is Kazmodo or just Mo. His first condition

was that we brought him to school where he met Mrs.Bell the homeroom teacher. After that he granted us our first wish. What did we decide on? Well we all agreed that the first wish would be that we all got whatever power we wanted. Kind of selfish but hey, we’re only still kids. So, what power did I wish for? Well I decided my power is I can rip, tear, break, or disintegrate anything within two meters from me. Anyways, the day was pretty normal, although we did have a pop quiz. Poor Mo, I mean who would want to have to do a pop quiz on their first day of school? So, I decided to help him out. After the quiz it was gym. We all got changed into our P.E clothes and headed to the gym. What did we do? We played a game of dodgeball. You might think that would be pretty boring but it was the first time I got to use my powers. I was able to tear and rip apart the balls before they could reach me, it was actually pretty fun. The others were also trying out their powers as well, creating walls of water and blowing the balls away from them. In the end…. Well let’s just say our team won. Once we were done changing out of our P.E clothes I realized it was science class. Great. I sucked so much at science, I couldn't list the periodic table even if my life depended on it. I could tell that some of my classmates weren’t too happy either. It was probably because Mr.Dimitri was the science teacher. He was pretty much the meanest teacher in the whole school. We arrived in the science classroom chatting amongst ourselves, or atleast the others were. Nobody really paid much attention to me, it was kind of like I was invisible. We all sat down as Mr.Dimitri walked in holding a textbook. He glanced at us and then BANG! He slammed the textbook on his desk glaring at us. “Welcome to science class everybody,” he said as though he did not just give everybody a heart attack. Suddenly, in a blink

of an eye, a bunch of people started casting magic on Mr.Dimitri. His expression was priceless. The only person who didn’t seem amused was Mo, “GUYS!” He yelled, jumping up from his seat. We all stopped. “Look,” he began. “All I wanted was to go to school like a normal kid, but now you guys are cheating on tests for me, and casting spells in gym class, and now you're about to kill your science teacher.” “Can we just have a normal science class?” Mr.Dimitri finally got up looking very confused. “Um, well we’re going to do a science experiment today,” he said. “Do we have any volunteers?” There was suddenly an extremely loud uproar of “ME!” “Alright, alright,” Mr.Dimitri said, obviously annoyed. He walked to the back of the room and got a long metal cable and a big metal ball. He hooked the metal cable to the roof and said, “Catherine please do me a favor and stand beside the black board.” As she did so he handed her that metal ball. “We are going to learn about preservation of energy,” he said to the class. “Catherine kindly let go of the metal ball and let’s see what happens.” Catherine let go of the metal ball. We all watched as it swung across the room and almost hit the other wall. The ball then swung back directly at Catherine’s face. It looked to me as though it was going to hit her but I guess she used magic because the ball suddenly changed directions and swung back the other, hit the wall and swung back toward Catherine. At that point Mr.Dimitri grabbed the ball before it could hit Catherine. “You're all expected to hand in a lab report due shortly,” he said. He then walked out of the room, closing the door. “Did you just alter the laws of physics in front of a physics teacher?” Mo asked. Everyone was quiet. So quiet you could hear a pin drop. Suddenly Chris screamed, “Does anyone know how to water bend here?” A few people raised their hands. “Good, cause tomorrow the school is gonna catch on fire for some reason!” We all stared at him. Creak. Mr.Dimitri came back in, “why are you

all just standing there?” “Write your lab report already!” I completed my lab report anxiously glancing at the fire alarm every so often. RING! I practically jumped out of my seat. We all filed out of the class nervously. I packed my things and slowly walked to pick up Natsu. By the time I arrived home it was already dark outside. Natsu had wanted a unicorn plushie and somehow I ended up using all my savings. Once I got back I saw a note from mom saying she had to work late again and there was food in the fridge if I was hungry. I sighed. “C’mon Natsu, go brush your teeth and I'll read you a bedtime story, ‘Kay?” She nodded and ran up stairs, me trailing a few feet behind. That night I couldn’t get the image of the school burning down out of my head, but eventually, maybe around 1 A.M, I finally drifted into an uneasy sleep.

Kazmodo's first day at school By Catherine

The class heard someone else shouting “ Justin, Liz hello?”. Then Damion says “ Help! I found some people who are stuck in holes.” The teacher rushed towards us. When we were getting dried of we heard Damion talking to the teacher. Damion says “I was chasing them trying to tell them not to run but they keep on running. After it rained so I lit up my lighter. Sorry, I know I was not supposed to have a lighter. It was my dad’s. Anyway I was chasing and they all of a sudden got scared”. Then Kyle shouted “Liar !”. We told Mr. Markle that he was chasing us with a flaming hand. Mr. Markle listens but thinks we are lying. After we were boarding the bus and Mr. Markle was counting us. He said “ One, two ,three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen. Oh I must have miscounted.” The whole class set back on the bus to avoid Damion. We look behind us and see a boy. He was dressed in a red t-shirt book bag. He asks “What do we do for fun?” We say “We read.” He asked, “ What year is it?” We say “It is 2021.” After he asked “Who is the president.” We say “Justin Trudeau”. He says “Canada once had a baby as a president but they covered it up.” We ask him “ What is the last wish you granted?” He says “ He brought someone's mom back to life.” He says “ If you bring me to class for 3 days I can grant you three wishes of the class choice. ” Someone agrees to do it. After they were having class with their homeroom teacher Mrs. Bell. Mrs. Bell started taking attendance. Then she asked if she was missing anybody. Mo the genie says “ Yes me”. Mrs Bell asked “ Why do I not know you.” Mo the genie says “ That is because I am new.” “ Ok” I will go to the office to check. Mrs.Bell leaves. Mo the genie says “Make sure I do not get kicked out of the school.” We say “Ok.” The genie asked us for our first wish. We wish to have powers of our choice. Catherine wishes for Harry Potter magic. The teacher comes back and tells Mo to come with her. After Mrs.Bell says that Mo is not registered. Liz says that “ Mo is australian and in Austria you do not have to register.” Mo says that is why. Then Mrs. Bell says “ Today we have a pop quiz.” Mrs. Bell start to disturbted the papers. Chole thinks I love tests. Mo gives us a glance.

Then Chole whispered if wish to turn invisible you could help him. One person turns invisible and helps him. After Chris has a vision of the school burning. Next we head off to gym class. We change into gym clothes. The teacher says that we are playing dodgeball. We then secretly use our powers. After 40 minutes no one has got out except for Denna. Then we head off to science class with our least favourite teacher. He says “Hello today we are going to perform an experiment. Who would like to help me demonstrate?” Catherine raises her hand and the teacher picks her. “ Ok I would like you to hold the ball and push it.” Catherine reads his mind. He thinks about how much he likes? Chloe. Then he thinks he, he, he. Catherine pushes the ball towards the wall. When the ball comes toward her she blocks it with her magic. The ball hits the other wall and comes back at her, she blocks it with her magic again. After the teacher catches the ball and tells us to start our essays. We start them. Catherine was thinking about Chris' vision. After the school bell rang. Ding, ding ding. We boarded our bus and prepared to go home. Later that night Catherine was laying on her bed thinking about Chris’s vision. She thought what is going to happen ? Is it going to happen tomorrow and then she falled asleep.

Tiff Damion tells his story His story is basically that he hears us running and chases after us and yells stop running kids! And he pulls out a lighter and says yes I know I am sorry that I have a lighter and he finds us and falls off the cliff with us and we find the genie Home room with Ms. Bell Mrs bell actually is pretty nice, I mean she is caring And nice so there isn’t a problem.

THE FIRST WISH YAY! I got powers of harry potter which I think is pretty useful like you can do charms, and spells and n.e.w.t stuff. I just think that this whole “powers thing” is AWESOMELY FUN!

Pop Quiz O god I suck at these so RiP me 0.o

Dodgeball! Yay I love dodgeball! It's pretty fun but I don’t think Mo liked being hit by like 5 people 0.o, So Rip mo. Other than that I think dodgeball went pretty good.

The vision..... THE SCHOOL! It's being burnt down ! I think It was Damian but it also could have been Mo because he’s like the only one capable of it. Either way I am now scared, I hope Chris's system is wrong.

home for the night Ahh Nice a comfy.

RING RING RING, RING RING RING, I wake up to the sound of my ever annoying alarm. What is morning already? My name is Eric, and I am in elementary school. I normally enjoy school, but today is going to be tough. We are going on a field trip! I know what you might be thinking, field trips should be incredible right? Normally you would be right, but my class is visiting Mr. Markle, he is nice but his classes are boring. In the class, we are supposed to learn about how in the old days, teachers might spank students! I can’t imagine how painful that might be, I am also going to be there all day and looking at some artifacts like dinosaur bones and such. To my surprise I found my classmates sneaking out of class and out of curiosity and the sudden compulsion of leaving my boring class behind, miraculously, our teacher did not seem to notice. We began wandering and we eventually ended up in a creepy old forest, just looking at it gives me the goosebumps. It began to dawn on us that barely anybody comes down here and only an old man takes care of the place. Abruptly, a snobby kid about a year older than we emerged, my parents have worn us to stay away from this kid, and just as I was scratching my head trying to remember his name did one of my classmates scream “It’s Damion”! All he said was “ come with me if you dare! Unless you are a chicken of course.” Several of my comrades started to harass him but followed because they did not want to be chickens. We went deeper into the forest and he led us to a hut and he dared one of us to go in. Chris, one of our brave classmates volunteered to go in first. We saw that there was a spook circle and Damion drew out a knife, he slices his arm a bit, and BAM! When we finally recovered from the blast, we stood up in horror to see that his arm was on fire! We all scramble from what looks like a demonic version of Damion and as the thought flashed in my mind that there were cliffs here, I no longer felt ground. We barely landed in a construction area of some sort and we all picked mud pits to hide in. Damion chased after me, as I was trying to escape, I tripped on something, I saw that it was a teapot of some sort. The legend of the genie boomed in my head and as my last hope, I began to rub it. Miraculously, a genie came out but I only hope vanished when Damion’s flaming arm flew into it and shattered it to mist. Just as I thought that all was over, we heard our teachers calling in the distance, hearing this we desperately called for help. When the teachers came, however, Damion started to bluff that he was trying to get us out of the pit and despite our story, the teachers did not believe us. When we finally finished our exhausting field trip, we went into the bus to see a kid that we did not recognize. “Hello! My name is Mo!” “OH”! Exclaimed Chris, you are the genie am I right? “Indeed I am,” said the genie” however, I have a favor to ask of you. “What”? We all exclaimed, “will you let me into your school for 3 days? If so, each day, you can ask me a wish, but remember, you cannot ask for love, more wishes, time travel, or anything else that is overpowered.” I huddled up with everybody to discuss this dilemma, we came to the conclusion of agreeing. The very next morning, I jumped out of bed thinking about what my wish was. When I got to school, I saw Mo sitting at a desk. “What are you doing here?” Said our teacher, Mo/the Genie glanced at us for help, Liz said” oh, he is just an exchange student from history because we are learning about blending culture, he is from Australia.” “Alright,” said the teacher and so we began class. I was quite nervous because we are doing a pop quiz and we will have trouble getting Mo through, he quickly asked us what our wishes were and I had an idea. And so it was, I will choose

Deanna I officially HATE Damion. I wake up and the first thing I do is look at the news. So far so good. Not a fiery day. No fires. Something told me that it was gonna happen anyways. How great. Anyways, I get to class, and Ms Bell takes attendance. I notice that Mo isn’t here. Apparently, Victor noticed too. He makes to leave but Ms Bell says, “Victor! Where are you going!?” “Um, I’m going to the washroom,” he says. “Make sure you come back soon,” Ms Bell says. A couple seconds after he leaves, someone asks, “Does anyone hear that?” I listen closely. I hear it. It sounds like a boy crying. Suddenly a loud clanging made me jump. It sounded like someone kicked a locker. Ms Bell pokes her head out. “Is everything ok?” she asks. “Yeah,” Victor’s voice replies. “I’m trying to find the washroom.” You won’t find a washroom in the locker dude. Then she pulled the “Is everything ok?” on him. 1) NO! NO ONES OK! FOR ALL I KNOW THE SCHOOL WILL BURN DOWN! and 2) DAMION’S A FREAK! “No, it’s all good,” Victor says. Victor comes back and Kylie asks if she could fill up her water bottle. If I had to guess, I’d say she was trying to find Mo, wherever he is. While Kylie’s out, Liz asks if she can go find Mo. To which Ms Bell said, “After Kylie comes back.” Kylie came back in a few minutes but I didn’t hear the sound of water coming. Liz went and came back, didn’t find Mo apparently. Then Julie went and came. And I heard this, “Thank you! It’s really clean in here, and it’s kinda weird.” When Mo came back, Ms Bell sent the attendance down. “Kids, it’s time to test your devices.” Over the last like, maybe…. 3 weeks? I don’t count this stuff, but we’ve been working on these egg drop device things. We had 3 models. First, a safe box which, I think, has a 5% chance of not breaking. That one wasn’t my idea. The second one, has around a 54% chance of not breaking. I think we modeled it off an ice cream. I have no clue why. It has a parachute that’s attached to a cone with 4 strings. The plan is to put the egg in the cone and it will just slowly float down. The next one has a… I don’t even know what it is to be honest. It’s just a bunch of straws with the egg in the middle. Now, we head to the parking lot. As we arrive, it starts raining balls. I look up, the custodian, Mr Morris, is chucking balls off the roof. Mo yells, “Why does the school store the equipment on the roof? That’s kinda weird, mate.” We ignore him since the suspense is growing. The custodian puts the egg in the box and drops it. The box spins really quickly. I can tell immediately that it’s unbalanced. As it gets closer to the ground I can see it start balancing a bit and I know someone’s using some magic or something. Even so, it hits the ground with a sickening crunch and I’m squirted with yolk. Gross. Mr Morris puts an egg in the cone of the parachute and drops it. It sails up, then down. It’s floating down like we planned but then things go weird. The wind catches it and as I run towards it 6 seagulls appear out of nowhere. They caw at me and even though I don’t speak seagull, their message was pretty clear: GET AWAY YOU STINKING HUMAN OR I’LL EAT YOUR FACE OFF!

One of the strings breaks and it starts swinging dangerously and starts falling rather quickly. I’m trying to cushion it with water vapour but it’s really not working, cause there isn’t that much water vapour. Everyone else started blasting magic at it too. It started to slow down and it landed . Mo picks it up and says, “AY! IT’S AN EGG!” And the next thing he does...IS CHUCK IT AT ME! As this egg spins towards me, a realization hits me: If I don’t catch this, that means that this fails. With that in mind, I caught it. Then someone says, “I DON’T KNOW WHAT THIS THING IS, BUT I’M GONNA CHUCK IT!” It’s Mr Morris. He shrugs then puts the egg in and YEETS it. No, no, no. That’s not how it’s supposed to work! Straws come flying out of the device, the egg is completely unprotected now. DON’T DO MAGIC ON IT IT’S GOING TO BE SO SUS. PLEASE! The egg lands on the pavement, completely unprotected and it doesn’t break. The teachers are staring at it. A moment later, it breaks in half. Everyone’s silent and just staring at it. “Um,” Ms Bell clears her throat. “That was strange, um whatever. Um Mr Morris, can you clean this up before recess?” Mr Morris’ smile fades as I guess he realizes he’s the one that needs to clean this mess up. Ms Bell leads us back and tells us we’ll be doing this environmental thing. And we go right back outside to the field. “Welcome, welcome everybody, I’m really excited to talk to you about planting trees. I’m here with the president of _____. As students of the Grand Mountain Academy, I’m sure you know him,” I didn’t know who he was with because it got kind of boring. I figured it out pretty soon. Damion turned around and said, “Hey guys. I really like nature.” COME ON! WHY DO I HAVE TO SEE FREAKING DAMION EVERYWHERE I GO? “Alright,” the first guy says. “I’m Mr Suzuki.” And he starts explaining about the importance of trees. He tells us to find a wheelbarrow and a shovel. He also said that the place we’ll dig holes have been marked by Xs so we’ll need to pick an X, then he or Damion will come and give us trees. Chris starts telling Mo, “Mo, can you not blast fire later?” And Mo says, “The whole point of this is to be a normal student. I’m not gonna burn the school down!” Chris told Mo what he saw. How someone asked for help, Mo waved his hand and suddenly fire started coming out of the windows. Mo continues to be like, “I would never do such a thing!” and all that. I’m starting to wonder what his true intentions are. Then Julie told us that Mo was seriously just… Mo. Not in line with Damion, just a genie who wanted to be a normal person. Then I see Damion coming down the line. He asks each person, “Spruce or Aspen?” When he gets to me, I step back. I don’t want NOTHING to do with this kid. I still remember all too vividly, him chasing us around with a flaming arm that couldn’t be extinguished. He asks if I want Spruce or Aspen and I just point to the Aspen tree. I don’t want to talk to him at all. After all of us get our trees, Mr Suzuki tells us to do this pledge that Damion wrote. “Dear Earth,” Damion says. “Living Earth, Beautiful Wonderful Earth, Live again, Rise Stronger, Return to us now.”

After the pledge, Mr Suzuki tells us we can start. As I’m planting my tree, I see Chris fighting against these hands that look like they're made of dirt. Victor’s straining under the weight of the tree and drops the tree on Chris who is now firmly planted under the tree. Suddenly, hands burst through the Earth. They’re made of dirt and roots. I’m blasting water at them. Then this dirt monster grabs me from behind and panic seized me. As I’m kicking at the thing, I wonder if it’s a boy or a girl. Either way, a rush of adrenaline goes through me, like after I got the water powers. I take it’s arms and flip it onto it’s back. The moment it hits the ground, it scatters like dirt in the wind. Another one comes at me, and I realize that blasting water at these dirt roots won't help. It makes them stronger. So I charge at them. I’m probably going to be expelled for this, but I kick it in it’s… peeing area and it doesn’t seem to bother it but it does flip him onto his stomach where I kick him. Bits and pieces fly off him and scatter. As I’m fighting these things, I see Chris. He’s out of the tree. A bunch of these creatures storm the school and I once again attempt to drown them. It works. I see the baseball diamond fence crumble and a giant sand turtle rises from the sand. I see Chris shoot a spike of some sort that kills a couple of these monsters. “You know,” Mo says. “Now isn’t a bad time for a wish.” I punch a sand dude in the face and yell, “We wish for Apple Watches that can turn into anything of our choice!” Just like that, I felt something on my wrist. I look down and sure enough it’s an apple watch. Alright, give me… a sword with a 6 foot blade made of gold that’s electric. Now the giant sand turtle is approaching the school and we all go after it. We’re smashing it with magic, and I’m sending wave after wave of any liquid there is. Sadly, that includes spilled juices, spoiled milk, spit, and barf. But the turtle deserves it so I guess we’re good. Slowly, we chip away at it and I use my sword and dive it into the turtle’s neck. I don’t want to get electrocuted, so I jump off and roll. I hear, “MO HELP!” and I know what’s coming. Before I can say a thing, Mo shrugs and waves his hand. Fire’s leaking through the windows. I run in and I have a crazy idea. Maybe...maybe I can summon water. I feel in my gut that it works. I run in, with a layer of water around. I see Damion, fighting these monsters with both arms on fire, telling the principle, “Miss Principle, it’s ok. I have powers.” We push the monsters back, defeating a little at a time. A few of them surround me and I just swing my sword widely and they crumble to dust. I feel bad for Mr Morris. First the eggs, now this. After all the monsters are defeated, I hear through the speakers, “Emergency Meeting to be held in the gym.” I know what’s coming and I dread it. We make our way to the gym. “We’ve been noticing… well what happened. We’ve noticed some strange things, eggs that survive contact with pavement, everyone got As, balls dropping in midair, we’ve been thinking that our students are magical abilities. After what I witnessed today, we think we know what we’re dealing with. You either got powers from aliens or mutants. I’m pleased to tell the school, the leader of this school team is DAMION!” Damion’s invited on stage as the “leader” of our freak group. I want to kill him. As he’s explaining how he got “elected” leader, I have half a mind to pull a Chris and yell, “LIAR!” but I don’t. I want to drown him and his flame. This anger builds up inside me until my ears pop and I can tell I uh exploded a toilet downstairs. Oops. Then I hear a voice inside my head say, “Hey, hey! Maybe you shouldn’t kill a classmate on the internet, you know? Last thing you want is to

be a wanted criminal. Kill him tomorrow! Kill him today, and I might not be able to stay which means you might not be able to get a third wish! I know you want to help the world. So don’t kill him. I want to go to school tomorrow. There’s a school dance! I want the whole elementary experience you know!” I know it’s Mo. I can barely hear Damion. I’m still arguing with Mo. Mo, he deserves to die! You saw him chasing us with a flame. He dissipated you with a fireball! Also, he deserves a toilet shrapnel in his butt! Look! He’s getting attention he doesn’t deserve! He’s playing the hero! No one knows about what happened in the forest, or about you! They don’t know you’re the one who gave us powers! He deserves to die! “Hey kid, kill him tomorrow! Remember the deal? I go to school for 3 days and everyday you get a wish! You want the third wish? You want to cure cancer? Well, don’t kill him!” I see my classmates, some of them have their fists clenched and I can tell they want to kill him as much as I do. I honestly felt like I was a dog and Mo was trying to get me to play fetch. “Hey, I heard that.” I flinched, You can hear my thoughts? “Well yeah. That’s why I’m talking to you. I want to go to the school dance ok? I wanna get embarrassed, get bullied, you know. I want the full elementary school package!” Mo, what are you saying? “Well, I wanna be a normal kid! I don’t want you killing people! Especially when there’s only one more day to go. Kill him tomorrow!” I’m talking to a genie who’s in my head. Seriously, Mo? “That’s...about it.” Alright fine. But tomorrow, Damion’s dead. “Sure, that’s fine with me. Bye!” Damion calls out for the team for a picture. Some go, but others stay. Along with me. I’m in silent protest. I want nada to do with Damion. I won’t pretend to be part of his so-called Superhero group. Damion waves towards the camera and says, “Subscribe to GRAND MOUNTAIN ACADEMY to see more about Damion and his super team!”

Victor - Class 2 - Kazmodo's first day at school

After the teachers and the principles arrived, Damion was a big liar and told the teachers he was trying to save us and the burning arm was just a box of matches. I really wanted to hit Damion in the face but we had to head back to school and get on the school-bus. On the school bus, we met the Genie and my classmates were so excited they started asking the Genie so many questions I couldn't even hear anything. Apparently, the Genie’s name is Kazmodo but he wants us to call him by his nickname Mo. He told us that he would give us almost any 3 wishes as long as we brought him to our school for three days which I thought was a very good deal. When we finally arrived at school, Chris volunteered to choose a wish for us and he said that we could all choose our own powers and I suddenly felt amazing. When we headed toward class the principal said that there was a problem with Mo’s registration and he was heading to the principal's office. We could not let Mo be kicked out of the school so we tried talking the teacher, Mrs.Bell, out of it and not making Mo get kicked out of the school. She said that there will be a Quiz today and suddenly my classmates started finding ways to give him the answer. I didn't find a way to give Mo the answer on the Quiz because my power was that I could teleport so I can't find the answer to the Quiz yet. Our next class was Gym and our teacher is called Mrs.Blaydin, and at Gym we did a boring activity that's called “dodgeball”. It was not very fair because when we played dodgeball none of my classmates could ever get caught because they were all using their powers, so it was a total mess at Gym. Our next class was science and our teacher is Mr.Demetre, and he was holding a textbook so I thought we were going to study science today. It turns out that we were doing an experiment with a metal ball and a few cabels. Catherine volunteers so the teacher tells her to let go of the ball and she does what she is told. She lets go of the ball and it bounces to the opposite side of the room and it bonus back and is about to

hit Catherine's face but Catherine stops it in mid-air. The science teacher said we have to write a lab-report about this and Mo said he definitely knows. Chris looks into the future and he then sees the school on fire and no sign of Mo.

SESSION THREE

Eggs and Earth Day

Marcus If you ask me, school is boring and useless. But Mo was treating it like a lottery, and he was full of excitement, and telling us to not use our powers in classes, because he was interested in them. “Hey, I just got stuffed in a locker! How exciting it is to be treated like an ordinary student.” Eventually we got to sustainability class. It started off with growing plants with this weird guy who was really into plants and Damion, who was acting very innocent. He asked us to start taking this pledge with him, and said a dramatic speech about how cool plants are. Suddenly, earth monsters randomly appeared, and my classmates were forced to use their overpowered abilities to beat up the monsters.

Me and my classmates went into class, but Moe was missing. Victor tried to find her by asking the teacher to go to the washroom. He walked down the hallways and heard some crying in a locker. He tried to open the locker by kicking it. Then the teacher noticed and asked him to come back to class. Then others tried to find her and one ended up picking the lock of that locker, and sure enough Moe was there. She said that she got bullied and she liked it. She also said that the kid Damion didn’t really like her. After that we went to a sustainability class where we dropped an egg with a machine that we made and tried to make the egg not break upon impact with the ground. Our class didn’t do it very well and one person had to use their power to make the egg not break. Then someone pointed out that that could be suspicious. Next it got even worse. Someone used their power to break the egg. The teachers got very suspicious of us Then we had to go plant some trees, for the Earth. Somehow Damion was almost head of the Earth group. While we were planting the trees there were little Earth monsters everywhere, and huge turtles. There was a whole out battle in the school. We used our second wish for a weapon that can turn into a watch. We used it to defend the school from the earth monsters. Then damion rushed in with his flaming hand and took all the glory. After that we had an assembly saying that there is suspected to be a superhero team living in the school. The teachers exposed our power and Damion became the “head” of the “superhero” group.

Justin

The next morning, there’s nothing out of the ordinary on the radio. Nothing about fires or arson. Maybe the vision was wrong? When we get to class, Mo’s not there. Where is he? Is he late? Then, someone decides to pretend to go to the bathroom. Right after they leave, there’s a loud bang outside and Mrs. Bell goes out to check the commotion. It’s probably something to do with Mo. He’s troublesome that way. The person who went to the bathroom comes back, then another person goes to the bathroom. We’re pretty bad at this, aren’t we? And now, Mo is back. Just a reminder, he is horrible at pretending. And now, we’re testing the prototype device things that we were supposed to create to make sure that we can safely drop an egg from the school roof to the ground. The first one fails, the second one succeeds and the third one failed, but the egg landed on the ground unharmed with nothing around it and then broke a split second later. Wow, we really suck at this. After the testing of the devices is over, Mrs. Bell takes us to the field and announces that we are going to learn about the environment and planting trees. With that, she walks off, and leaves us with the two instructors, and one of them is Damion. Well, that’s certainly surprising. “Hey guys, I really care about the environment.” He said. He obviously doesn’t. I’m willing to bet that he sets trees on fire in his free time. The other instructor starts explaining how trees work like he was explaining something to kindergarteners. After that, he hands us shovels for us to start digging holes on the marked spots for the trees to go in. After the holes are dug, we’re instructed to repeat the Earth Club’s oath. Right after we do, a student disappears and earth monster things start crawling out of the holes and towards the school. Whatever Damion made us repeat was probably some weird spell thing and the holes were probably for the earth

monsters to crawl out of. There’s also this weird sand turtle that appeared, crushing the fences. Things happen, we fight the earth monsters and make a wish. Apple watches appear on our wrists and turn into various objects. Eventually, they’re all swords and we stab the sand turtle. Unfortunately, it’s made of sand so it’s hard to stab, but it soon dissipated. Right after, all the students were called to the gym where the principal announced that he had noticed strange behaviour amongst the students and that everything before had been filmed. It was also announced that Damion had superpowers and that he was the… leader of a superhero team? Where was this nonsense coming from? We all really wanted to murder Damion right now, but murder is illegal, so probably just hurting him really badly?

Chris After waking up and going to school I was waiting for Ms. Bell and she did after 2 minutes then we all realize that Mo is not there, someone quickly makes an excuse that Mo since he Is new he is probability is having some trouble with school someone else who I can’t remember because Mo was probably doing something weird, after lots of “washroom breaks” Mo who was apparently put himself in a locker came to class and we started attendance and after we have to finish our engineering class where we drop an egg of the roof and the janitor was dropping the egg protector things. First was a cone with a parachute on top and the janitor throws the contraption of the roof and it starts kind of flailing and then one of the strings gets loose and starts to spin really fast but someone in our group used the air to slow it down and it lands safely on the ground, next was another thing but I kind of board so I was drawing on the ground with my finger, next was a straw pyramid and the janitor was a bit confused on what is was so he just dropped it and the egg falls and the straws start coming loose and then the egg hit the ground then it did not crack and layed there for like 5 seconds and then the yolk came out. Ms. Bell was a bit surprised because it took time for the egg to crack instead of hitting the ground and cracking. Ms. Bell says something about an earth club or something I didn’t pay much attention because I was wondering why the egg took so long to crack then we had to plant trees and I was surprised to see that Damion was the president of the thing so me and Victor where going to plant a tree but then I got pulled into the ground and Victor dropped the tree on me and then I was earth bended out my Liz and then there were a lot of weird earth monsters so used some magic and killed 5 of them but I collapsed from exhaustion and the next thing I know I was in a wheelbarrow and had some sort of wrist band then we went to the gym and I went to the nurses office and Mo was talking to us telepathically then the topic of toilet shrapnel came up. I went home and was very tired.

Liz I like to have my own legacy and not be shadowed as “the member in this group” so when Damien said that we were his team of superheroes, I had to fight the urge not to avatar state his @ss to the moon. I am the goddamn avatar and I still have to deal with his sh*t. I honestly just wished he would address us as a team but not have any ranks or leaders. Each of us has our own minds and he should act accordingly. I think that because I told the waterbenders that they can blood bend , we might have a fighting chance against him. The other thing is that the principal shouldn’t have been recording us. There are laws against this and I chose not to be filmed. I wish to talk about my newfound powers by my own accord, not by that of a delusional principal. If it wasn’t for the fact that Damion holds demonic power, we wouldn’t be in this mess. Yet he can and is threatening to burn buildings if we do not comply. He already set his hand on fire, created giant earth monsters and could’ve set the school on fire.Damion is not the hero, only a hurdle that a few bloodbenders, the avatar, a seer, a few illgenmences ,etc will have to face. It doesn't hurt that we also have a lot of magical shifting apple watches that we had obtained from our 2nd wish. I just wonder what will happen next. I think that his influence will spread far more than just elementary/middle school. He could possibly have the most influence in the world, giving him the push to abuse the influence as he did today. He could easily let the world slip into his fingers, turning the world into his cult. I guess now we have to focus on not letting that happen.

Ok so Mo was in my locker crying, a few people tried to pick on my lock so when I tried the lock and asked Mo what’s wrong he said that “he got bullied and it was fun” and Mo also said “it's amazing how your locker is so clean!” About the egg drop. I wanted to do a safe box with a lot of blankets and pillows and soft stuff, my safe box didn't work sadly. The school custodian got a little sus of how the last egg didn't crack the egg and how the box didn’t spin and go down really quickly. We did kill Damien but Damien is really already dead so he returned. So many monsters attacked us, the monsters were earth monsters, giant turtles, so we used our wish. I wished for a blast out of my hands. Everyone thinks Damien is the leader of the superheroes but really he isn’t. Liz called an assembly, we have to reveal we are superheroes. Julie

Kylie

Today we were in class and Mo was not there. We heard someone crying in a locker and Victor said he needed to go to the bathroom. When Victor came back, I told Mrs. Belle that I needed to fill up my water bottle. I went out and teleported in the locker that the crying was coming from. I found Mo and he teleported me back out. Julie went and came back with Mo. Then Mrs. Belle told us to do our egg drop projects and the janitor will drop them from the roof of the school. We tried three and all of them did not break but I used airbending and split the last egg in half a second after it hit the ground. Mrs. Belle and the janitor thought that was weird and then we went to earth and planet class. We were to plant trees. And we found Damion there. He told us to repeat after him this earth quote, Chris got pulled in a hole and earth bugs came out and started attacking us. We started attacking the bugs but a giant turtle appeared and was climbing the school wall. I tried to teleport it onto Mars but I only got a few bits of it. Finally we got down the giant sand turtle. We used our wish for the day and got watches that could turn into anything we wanted it to turn into. The principal announced Damion as the leader of the hero team and none of us came up with him but Bingyn.

Bingyin

I woke up the next morning at around 6:30. I sighed. Mom had already left

for work. I got up and went to make breakfast. It’s not like I'm some superstar cook or something, but I can cook decent eggs and pancakes. About half an hour later breakfast was done. Better wake Natsu up, I thought. After getting Natsu to school it was already 8. Class started at 8:30 so I still had time but I forgot my textbook so I had to go back to get that. By the time I arrived in Mrs.Bell’s classroom it was already 8:45. Apparently Mo had been locked in a locker and I was pretty bummed I didn’t get to help him out. Anyway, after the whole “ Mo stuck in a locker” situation it was time for the egg drop. Basically we made these things that were supposed to protect the egg from breaking when we dropped them off the roof. It was okay I guess but when one of the egg holder things failed, the egg hit the ground and was obviously supposed to go SPlAT! but thanks to someone’s magic it ended up not breaking. This led to the teachers being really suspicious of us. The afternoon wasn’t much better either, mainly because Damion and this lady came in and talked about how important trees were. She went on this whole tangent about how if trees were slowly dying and whatever. Then, she told us that we were going to plant trees around the school and that Damion was kind enough to agree to help us. So helpful, I thought. We then did this stupid earth pledge thing led by Damion about protecting trees and stuff. It’s not like I hate trees or anything, I was just a little grumpy because I only got 5 hours of sleep last night. Well things didn’t exactly go as planned. It started off pretty normal, we were given small trees by Damion and were told to plant them in the ground. But somehow, these earth monster’s started crawling out

of the ground attacking people. I tore a few apart with my power but nothing else really. Then, of course, things just had to get worse. Just when I thought maybe we were actually getting rid of the earth monster’s, this giant turtle thing rose and started crushing pretty much anything in its path! At that point it was obvious we wouldn’t be able to keep it up much longer, so we used our second wish. Basically everyone got their own apple watch that could turn into any weapon they wanted. I chose a knife because it was like the only “weapon” I had ever used. I mean what was the point of wanting a gun if you didn’t know how to use it? Anyway, we kept fighting when I suddenly heard someone from inside the school yell, “MO! Help us!” I turned just in time to see Mo wave his hand at the school fire shooting out of it. My heart stopped. Fire, I thought. I watched in horror as Mo’s fire spread across the school, burning anything and everything it came across. After that I Just stared at the school, watching it burn. I know you probably thought this was some heroic story of how the class saved the school from burning down and killed Damion, but it’s not. In fact It was Damion who saved the school. At Least I think so. Everything just became sort of like a big clump of horrifying memories. Think of it like building blocks in your brain, each block is like a memory. All stacked on top of one another, and you can place them wherever you want to make anything you want, but one wrong move and the whole thing collapses. Memories are very valuable things, but they can easily fade away. Well anyway, the good news is that the school is now perfectly fine and there are no earth monsters roaming around anymore. The bad news is that they found out about us having powers and apparently Damion is the leader of the superhero team thing. Ya, they actually think that we’re superheroes. The school even did this youtube video thing on Damion and his so-called “team” or us. To be honest though, I don’t feel very heroic, I mean sure I tackled one or two monsters, but that was just one in a million and I

don’t even want to be a superhero. It’s not like I don’t like helping others but I prefer to keep a low profile. I think it was better when I didn’t have powers. Call me ungrateful if you want, but I was much happier when it was just me, Natsu and my quiet life as a normal kid.

Eggs and Earth day By Catherine The next day Catherine arrives at the school with her other classmates. They sit in the class but they notice Mo is not here. “Hi” says Mrs. Bell. Then one of Catherine’s classmates asked “ Can I go to the washroom?” Mrs.Bell says “Already, yes you can go. Don’t forget the hall pass.” The classmate walked along the hall and heard someone crying in the locker. He tried to open the locker by kicking really hard on it but it did not work. Mrs. Bell asks “ Is something wrong? It's ok, you can tell me. The classmate says “No everything is okay. I just forgot the way to the bathroom” Mrs.Bell says why don't return to class. The classmates return to class. Then another Kylie asks if she can go fill up her water bottle. Mrs.Bell says “Yes you may. Here is the hall pass.” Kylie goes out and then uses her superpowers to teleport inside the locker. Kylie sees Mo inside. “Ug, you are squeezing me” complains Mo. “What are you doing inside here? I thought you were going to the class.” asked Kylie. “ No I am not” replied “Here take my hand” said Kylie. “No get me out the old fashion way.” “Okay” sayed Kylie. Then another one of Catherine's classmates ask “Can I go to the hallway to search for Mo. He is new. He is probably lost” Said another classmate “Ok, just wait for Kylie to get back. Then you can go.” said Mrs. Bell. Then the classmate went to discover it was his locker. He opened it and got Mo and brought him back to class. “ Ok, you found Mo” said Mrs. Bell. We are going to take attendance. After we take attendance the teacher takes it to the office. Class was left alone. “Do you want to use your wish now?” ask the genie “No” we say. “Ok today we are going to be testing out our egg holder. The custodian has kindly agreed to help us” said Mrs. Bell. We go to the parking lot and we see the custodian wave at us as he starts to throw baseball and basketball balls. After he starts by throwing a box packed with popcorn. The egg lands and the yolk splashes everywhere. Then he throws one that has a cone and parachute. Then a bunch of sea gills came flying towards the egg holder. Someone uses their power and makes an air bubble to push the sea gulls back but one of the strings breaks. The egg holder lands on the ground Mo picks up the egg and it is not broken. After the custodian threw the last one and it started spinning. Catherine uses her powers and then starts to slow down after it lands and the egg then cracks in half. “Hm that was weird? says Mrs.Bell. Mrs.Bell says “You are going to learn about the environment bye. She leaves and we see an old man. “Hi” says the man. “Today you are going to learn about trees. Trees help the earth breath. They inhale bad air and exhale good air. Unlike us. We are going to plant trees with the leader for the tree society. Damion” said the man. Catherine thought, what is there something wrong with the teacher? After the whole class was finished, dig the holes and put the trees. The whole class was making a weird pledge that Damion made. Suddenly the earth shaked and Chris got pulled into the ground. Then weird creatures start to emerge and turtles made out of sand also emerge. Catherine digs a hole. Then some one earth bends and gets him out.

After we make our second wish to have a watch that turns into something we want. Catherine wishes for a wand. Then she starts pertifying the creatures using stupefy. After she protects the school. Damion uses his fire to burn the creatures. After the teachers tell us they know we have superpowers and we leave.

Mo is stuck in a locker Welp I guess it is the experience of being “ a normal kid”. It's to be expected. He did want the full experience of being a kid. I really didn’t think it would go so far though, I mean really and also Damion has gone cruel.

Egg drop! I hope We do good, I didn’t think that straws would hold it nicely, but oh well we did that.

the teachers suspect something

sustainability class. I do love nature but like we literally do not need a class for this, Well I think mrs bell loved her break. I really hated the fact that Damion was the teacher or rather the helper teacher.

Damien is here???

RING RING RING, RING RING RING, I wake up to the sound of my ever annoying alarm. What is morning already? My name is Eric, and I am in elementary school. I normally enjoy school, but today is going to be tough. We are going on a field trip! I know what you might be thinking, field trips should be incredible right? Normally you would be right, but my class is visiting Mr. Markle, he is nice but his classes are boring. In the class, we are supposed to learn about how in the old days, teachers might spank students! I can’t imagine how painful that might be, I am also going to be there all day and looking at some artifacts like dinosaur bones and such. To my surprise I found my classmates sneaking out of class and out of curiosity and the sudden compulsion of leaving my boring class behind. Miraculously, our teacher did not seem to notice. We began wandering and we eventually ended up in a creepy old forest, just looking at it gives me goosebumps. It began to dawn on us that barely anybody comes down here and only an old man takes care of the place. Abruptly, a snobby kid about a year older than we emerged, my parents have warned us to stay away from this kid, and just as I was scratching my head trying to remember his name did one of my classmates scream “It’s Damion”! All he said was “ come with me if you dare! Unless you are a chicken of course.” Several of my comrades started to harass him but followed because they did not want to be chickens. We went deeper into the forest and he led us to a hut and he dared one of us to go in. Chris, one of our brave classmates volunteered to go in first. We saw that there was a spooky circle and Damion drew out a knife, he sliced his arm a bit, and BAM! When we finally recovered from the blast, we stood up in horror to see that his arm was on fire! We all scramble from what looks like a demonic version of Damion and as the thought flashed in my mind that there were cliffs here, I no longer felt ground. We barely landed in a construction area of some sort and we all picked mud pits to hide in. Damion chased after me, as I was trying to escape, I tripped on something, I saw that it was a teapot of some sort. The legend of the genie boomed in my head and as my last hope, I began to rub it. Miraculously, a genie came out but I only hope vanished when Damion’s flaming arm flew into it and shattered it to mist. Just as I thought that all was over, we heard our teachers calling in the distance, hearing this we desperately called for help. When the teachers came, however, Damion started to bluff that he was trying to get us out of the pit and despite our story, the teachers did not believe us. When we finally finished our exhausting field trip, we went into the bus to see a kid that we did not recognize. “Hello! My name is Mo!” “OH”! Exclaimed Chris, you are the genie am I right? “Indeed I am,” said the genie. '' However, I have a favor to ask of you. “What”? We all exclaimed, “will you let me into your school for 3 days? If so, each day, you can ask me a wish, but remember, you cannot ask for love, more wishes, time travel, or anything else that is overpowered.” I huddled up with everybody to discuss this dilemma, we came to the conclusion of agreeing. The very next morning, I jumped out of bed thinking about what my wish was. When I got to school, I saw Mo sitting at a desk. “What are you doing here?” Said our teacher, Mo/the Genie glanced at us for help, Liz said” oh, he is just an exchange student from history because we are learning about blending culture, he is from Australia.” “Alright,” said the teacher and so we began class. I was quite nervous because we are doing a pop quiz and we will have trouble getting Mo through, he quickly asked us what our wishes were and I had an idea. And so it was, I will choose telekinesis! All my classmates chose their own ability and Chris looked into the future to see the

test answers will Kylie go invisible. We all went through the test quite successfully despite having a few problems. I soon found out that the next class was dodgeball and I realized that I could probably stop all the balls in midair! The moment came when I saw a barrage of dodgeballs being hurled at me. I concentrated all my might on controlling the balls and suddenly, I found that all the balls were floating and that I could control them with ease. I immediately tried throwing them back but to no avail. I laughed because I think that this will last for quite a while since we all now have powers and some of us can go invisible while others are naturally acrobatic. I stared in marvel as the first ball was landed, our game lasted for over 40 minutes and we were all laughing until our stomach went upside down because we had barely broken a sweat and our gym teacher was staring at us like we are aliens. The next class was taught by our least favorite teacher, Mr. Markle was boring, but our science teacher was downright mean. I was sitting in my chair bored out of my mind when an idea came into my mind. Since we have powers now, how about we revolt!? “ Yeah” REVOLT! Agreed on by my classmates, when the science teacher came in, we gave him a big surprise. I made him float in the air and my classmates attacked with punches or powers. Suddenly, “Stop,” said Mo, “I just wanted to come to school and do it normally, but this is not normal! The teacher is frozen right now but can I please have one day of normal classes?” We reluctantly agreed. Our teacher tied a metal ball to a chain and tied the chain to the roof. Celina volunteered, I was not worried about her because she had magic eyes, and in case anything goes wrong, I can stop the ball in midair. Our science teacher let go and the ball started swinging, I thought that our science teacher must be cackling inside but restrained myself from laughing because I know that it will not work. The ball ended up changing course and science class did not seem as boring after that scenario. After finishing the day at school, Chris had a horrible insight of tomorrow, “ a fire will come tomorrow” he warned “ I can use my water powers” said Liz, I left because I was getting more nervous. Tonight I am both excited and sad because I will be choosing my second wish tomorrow, but I also can not shake off the creepy insight that Chris had, as I started to doze off, I put everything behind my mind and decided to leave all that for tomorrow. This time I up my alarm extra early so I can get to school faster. After finishing my toast with strawberry jam, I was ready for the day but when I got to school, Mo was missing! Victor asked to go to the bathroom and found someone inside the locker. He tried kicking it open but it did not work, Kylie said that she is going to fill her water bottle but picked the locks. Mo was right in there, grinning, nice job! After that, he asked us if we wanted to save or use our wish, I chose to save it. Next up was a test class, we were given a project to see if our structure could hold and not break the egg as it was thrown down. Our first design was putting the egg inside a special box, I know it is not going to work, so I slowed it down. The second part was when Mo threw the egg put Deanna did not catch it. The second design we also guided but right when it landed, I crushed the egg to bits because we thought it was suspicious. Our final and most creative design was made of pyramids and straws and it was the only one that truly landed. The next class was an absolute nightmare, we are doing tree planting, but worse of all, Damion is there and he is somehow the leader of the association. After breaking our backs in the field, suddenly, monsters sprouted from the ground and buried Chris alive! While helping Chris get out, I remembered his vision, was this where the flame came from? After we got Chris out, he got yet another freaky vision, Mo was going to set it on fire, not Damion! We rushed to get more but Chris fainted after his last

foresight of the day. I tried reading Mo’s mind but to my surprise, what he was thinking was how good it was to break his back on the field. Out of desperation, we used our powers to fight back, earth spikes, powerful winds, weapons, and monsters are flying all around in utter chaos. “I think this will make a good time to make our wish!” said Julie. ‘How about we wish for apple watches that can turn into anything we want?’ Tiffy suggests. I saw a watch appear on my hand, now it’s time to wreck these monsters! In the distance, we heard someone yell, do something! We scrambled to Mo to stop him from lighting the school on fire. When the mayhem was over, we were called to an emergency meeting in the gym. “It seems we have got ourselves a team of superheroes!” Laughed the principal. I was dozing off until I heard the sentence that made me rage. “Leading our special team is Damion! WHAT! One moment he is trying to murder us and another he is our captain? All of us started protesting and even using powers to try to get attention but nobody heard. Mo got angry at us however and called us selfish because when you get the power you get selfish, we ignored him and continued protesting. Finally, after what seemed like forever, something happened. The principal asked Victor to come up and Damion whispered to him, “you better not ruin this for me, or else I will burn this place to the ground”. He then smiles and says to like and subscribe to the camera, all these actions barely contained us from charging but the everlasting threat poured cold water on us every time we get angry. Inside me, anger boiled like it never had before, and I knew that we are going to face Damion someday.

Victor - Class 3 - Eggs and Earth day For our last day of school with Mo, it was pretty normal in the beginning except I did not see Mo at school today or in the class, which made me worried. I asked the teacher if I could go to the bathroom, but it was just an excuse so I could try and find Mo. Finding Mo was not hard at all. I heard crying in the locker so that had to be Mo crying. I tried kicking the door down but it won't budge. My classmates then tried to get Mo out and they succeeded. We headed back to class, and Mrs.Bell explained that we were going to test our machines that we have been working on, for the past few weeks and see if they work with the custodian. Basically, our machines are supposed to protect an egg from breaking when it falls off the roof and onto the parking lot. All our machines were pretty amazing but I really liked one that was a cone with the egg and a parachute attached to it. It was kind of ruined because we were all using our powers to make the machines land softly on the ground, and not get wrecked. The custodian was now very suspicious about us, and I think he knew we were up to something. Our next class was about planting trees, and plants, but the bad news was Damion the idiot, was here with us and he was up to something bad. The teacher started talking about some boring stuff about trees that I didn't want to hear but after that, we picked our partners and Chris went with me. After a while, we started planting the trees, but then suddenly Chris got pulled underneath the hole and got sucked down. I thought of teleporting after him, but I couldn't because I was so startled I dropped the tree over him. Then, to make things worse, some earth monsters erupted from the ground and started to attack us. My classmates and I started fighting back with the monsters, but they were too powerful so after a

while, we had to use our wish so we could get some weapons to fight back. I chose a really big shark and big sword that is made of pure lava and fire. We started winning the battle, but then another big, giant, earth turtle came out of the ground. Someone rescued Chris so that made me free to start killing the earth monsters, and hurting the giant earth turtle. We finally won, and the earth monsters ran away and retreated from the school. When we got back inside the school, the principal announced that they suspected and now they finally knew that we had superpowers, which was very bad for us. He also announced that Damion was our leader (He was definitely not) and he was the protector of us. My classmates started thinking of ways to kill Damion now, and the most brutal was exploding the toilet the next time he used it. Now it was time for home time, so my classmates and I started thinking of ways to use our next wish and get out of here.

SESSION FOUR

science experiment

We went to school like normal people, and the first class we went to is math class. After math class, we went to science class. Our science class teacher didn't like us very much so he tried to kill us. He used a volcano that shoots out purple smoke to trap us. In the purple smoke, magic doesn't work. Sadly after Moe passes out. Then suddenly we become small and see a huge spider. Quickly after the spider got killed by Damion!? Next, we and Damion had a deal. We use our last wish to make him a genie. One person who wishes to kill Damion instead. That didn't work and Damion faked dying. After that, we went to dodgeball and the balls are 15-pound metal balls. Then we had our powers return so we can go back to normal. suddenly some and a vision of Damion coming back.

Chris

We are in court about the youtube videos and how they did not have our consent about using us to profit, in the end we won the case and $20,000,000!!!When we went to schoolWe went to math class with Ms. Bell teaching us and giving us multiplication questions. After the teacher leaves Mo gives us an opportunity to use a wish but we decide maybe we should save it for later in case there is a life or death situation for say. Next we have science class with Mr. Dimitri which is the science class teacher. He was talking about chemicals and our volcano project with baking soda or something we were all chatting so we didn't really pay attention. For some reason Mr. Dimitri left doesn't really leave during our lessons, then out of the blue purple I guess there was a purple fog or smoke or some sort of thing coming through the volcano so naturally we tried to run out the door. For sure the door was locked so I tried to escape. The window but it was locked on the outside so I tried using my magical bracelet which I discovered which magic stuff I use the head of the magic stuff I use to make from the bracelet and tried to bash it in the window but it broke so I retracted it and try to do it again but it didn't come out so then when I looked over to the volcano I was trying to get bigger and when I look back at MO bantha on the ground so no apparently the volcanoes are there getting bigger or we're getting smaller and most is knocked out so oh yeah and we start getting sucked and sucked and sucked in Stockton or in the volcano now so naturally we try getting out and we literally just like climb out of the volcano and now we're sitting on a desk to be more specific mr. Dimitri's desk so we try finding a way to get off maybe jumping off and doing a Commando roll or something but we decided to just slide down the poles of the desk the legs and just like fireman poles like just go down we successfully got down and then we started to hearing steps well I did at least I'm not sure about the others but then more people did during and then tarantula came so naturally there was either a fight or flight and we decided to fight so since the adrenaline was pumping through her body we actually became a bit stronger than usual so I tried to go punch the tarantula I kind of just like hit it do anything, Victor tried to punch it and then grab the monkey like a plastic monkey I think and started to just whack the tarantula with it at this point the tarantula saw us and came to us its fangs ready to tear us to shreds and here I thought we were doomed so just kind of accepted it this is where we are going to die but then a hand came when we look up to the face it was Damian.Damien squished the giant tarantula with this hand ill by the way and grabbed us looks like you just get your terrarium will also put you back Damian said and we already knew what this room was because in the beginning of the school year it was a small little go system with like a bunch of pill bugs and centipedes so naturally we started going out to Damien “we're not bugs!” we said but when you look down he wanting revenge as we took down his superhero team which wasn't even a superhero team he was faking it he was a liar hell maybe even a devil he said “ my intentions are to become a Genie or something along those lines I was trying to you know try to figure out how the hell you're supposed to get back to normal the topic of a witch game that instantly caught my ear so naturally I said what he said I want to become a genie and I replied well know that kid

His name is Moe so he is a genie and we still have one wish left so maybe we can work out a little deal that's what some people said I strongly disagree that we should not give Damian are wish because he’s evil but we ended up using the we ended up saying we going to wake up Mo and we're going to let you use her final wish I strongly disagreed with this but I have no choice so when I accepted that won't we're going to have to use your last wish Damion so when Mo was ready to grant the final wish quickly Deanna said “we wish to kill Damion”, Victor also chimed in “we also wish I was world hunger” but we were too late killing Damion was the wish world hunger was not soft Damion's eyes rolled back into his head and collapsed onto the ground concerned you know we just killed someone Mo decided maybe one person dead in today is enough so we went to gym class and I noticed that we were back to normal size again so when we were playing super dodgeball with 15 pound medicine balls I was doing the normal thing I did which was strategizing and suddenly someone who i did not pay attention hit Mo got there powers back so we all started to hit him and the teacher told us that Mo was out but when she realized we got our powers back if we hit him she just let us, after gym class we use our last wish that Mo granted us to end all of humanity's problems and it was done but then I got a vision and it was in the science classroom and I saw Damion rise up and he had horns and look somewhat like a devil so I warned everyone then I said why.After the discussion we all went home.

Deanna We’re in a courtroom. We’ve been fighting this case. If you’re confused, when the news went out that we can do magic and that stuff, people put a video on youtube and you know, we didn’t like that. So the lawyer was like, “So… I believe that the people on youtube have unfairly profited from my class. I want the kids from the class to get all the profit made from that video.” The next thing I know the judge is saying, “Liz, I award you the principle of Grand Mountain Academy. And instead of JUST the profit from the video, the class will get 20 million dollars for bravery!” The next morning when I was richer than the teachers, Ms Bell told us, “Welcome back, millionaire students. I’m just going to tell you, you’re still in Grade 6, alright? Now I’m gonna go send the attendance so don’t run each other over with lambos while I’m gone.” Well, we’ve got more money than her salary. Mental note to self: Remind Liz to give the teachers a raise. Except Mr Dmitri. When Ms Bell comes back, she says, “Today I have a very simple assignment.” She goes to the blackboard and writes 95. “What two numbers make 95?” Immediately, Eric says, “5 and 19!” “What do 5 and 19 have in common?” she asks. “They’re both prime numbers,” someone says. Then she writes 94, and I say, “2 and 47!” “What do 2 and 47 have in common?” she says. “Um, they’re both prime numbers,” I say. She writes another number but by then, I’m bored and I just tune out. Finally, the period’s over and we go to science. Mr Dmitri’s not there yet so we start chatting. When Mr Dmitri comes in, he has a volcano. We’re still chatting and I have a feeling I know what’s coming. Mr Dmitri sneaks up behind someone and SLAMS a few books on his desk. Mr Dmitri goes back to the volcano but when we continue talking, he doesn’t say or do anything! He just pours random chemicals from the periodic table that I have trouble remembering. No one pays any attention to the volcano until it starts spewing purple smoke. Mr Dmitri leaves and I hear a click. He’s locked us from the outside. People start blasting magic at the door. Nothing happens. It’s pretty easy to figure out magic doesn’t work here. I try to punch the window but that hurts my hand and the window doesn’t budge. Then Liz has a genius idea. She takes her Apple Watch and calls the teachers. Unfortunately, Mr Dmitri was in that call and he said, “Don’t worry, I’m coming.” Translation: SEE YA LATER SUCKERS! Preferably dead. The purple smoke is still spreading and Mo’s like, “Uhh, don’t worry, I’ll just -” but he breaths in the smoke while he talks and passes out. Panic mode = officially on. The bigger the smoke is, the more I feel...drawn towards the volcano. As the purple smoke spreads, it becomes more and more like swimming against a lazy river in a water park. Also,

quick question: Why is everything getting bigger? Then a voice in my head that was NOT Mo’s said, You dumbo. If everything is getting bigger, why are your legs getting smaller and closer to the ground? AHHHHHH! THINGS AREN’T GETTING BIGGER, I’M GETTING SMALLER! AND ALSO DOES THAT VOLCANO HAVE LAVA INSIDE CAUSE IT’S SUCKING ME IN! PANIC LEVEL 2000! AHHH! Sadly, I passed out. Like Mo, but I’m small now. I mean like, I was always short, but I could still be classified as a regular human, you know? Well, when I woke up, we were on this slope. There are huge plastic trees with plastic monkeys hanging from them. Cool. Beyond the trees, I see gigantic desks and giant test tubes. I put two and two together. We are extremely small and so… WE’RE STANDING ON THE SIDE OF MR DMITRI’S VOLCANO! We wonder if it’s safe to jump down the table. Eventually, and obviously, we figure out the answer: No. So then I have the idea to fireman pole down and sneak under the door. But instead of doing that, we make our way down the mountain and suddenly Chris stopps. Slowly, everyone else does too. I hear shuffling or something a little to our right. When I look, I see legs that look like spiders and I freak. Firstly, when you’re about the size of an ant, spider’s are huge. Second, I’m an arachnophobe. So, obviously, of all the creatures we could run into, it had to be the one that I’m terrified of. The spider looms over us, 8 black eyes glaring down at us, it’s fangs sharp as ever. If this is what a small spider looks like up close, I don’t ever want to see a tarantula. I turn around and close my eyes. When I dare take a peek, I see Victor, smashing the spider with a plastic monkey. Then the spider gets swatted away with a giant hand. I look up and I’m staring into the face of… Damion. “What are you guys doing? You’re small,” he says. Great discovery, Damion. Never would’ve guessed that we’re about the size of ants. “Why are you bringing us to that mini ecosystem thing?” “Well you see, I had a cool superhero team and you guys ruined that so i’m gonna feed you with some centipedes and become the best kid in school. Then I’m gonna complete my mission and turn into a genie.” “We can help make you into a genie!” someone says. Are. You. CRAZY!? “How could you make me a genie?” Damion asks. “We know a person who can turn you into a genie,” someone else pipes up. “Who?” “Mo!” “What? That Australian dude? He’s not a genie. I shoved him into a locker yesterday.” “Yeah but he gave us 3 wishes if we let him come to school with us for 3 days.” “You guys had wishes!? This makes SO much sense now. First you wished for powers, then you wished to ruin my life,” Damion says. “So wake up Mo!” someone told him. “Why would I want to wake up a genie?” Damion says. You dumbo. Do we seriously need to explain to you why you want to wake up a genie? “So you can become a genie!” someone says. “Hold up,” Damion said. “Did you guys use all your wishes?” “No,” Chris told him, “This is the last wish.” Shut up, SHUT UP!

“Here’s the deal,” Damion says. “If I don’t feed you to the centipedes, you give your last wish...to me.” Damion puts down the volcano and taps Mo. He brings Mo towards us and says, “Now use your wish to make me a genie!” We can’t make him a genie! No way, no how. So I yelled out, “WE WISH TO KILL DAMION AND RETURN TO NORMAL SIZE!” As soon as the words leave my lips, Damion’s eyes roll up in his head and he flops down on the ground. We start to grow bigger and bigger. It feels SO weird. Like you went from a baby to now in about 5 seconds. Yikes. After I’m normal size, I feel weird in my body. It feels really heavy and hard to control even though I’m only like 75 pounds. “So,” Mo says. “We’re stuck in a classroom and you guys can’t do magic.” “But you can!” I yell. “Oh right,” Mo said and with a wave of his hand, I hear the door unlock and it swings open. We walk out. “I think we still can make it to the gym!” We walk out and head to the gym. “Alright superstars,” Ms Blatan says. “We’re playing super dodgeball!” Instead of dodgeballs, she has medicine balls lined up. “THREE, TWO, ONE, GO!!!” Ms Blatan blows her whistle. I run and the medicine balls feel really heavy. I try to throw it but it just barely goes over the line and doesn’t hit anyone. Ms Blatan looks really confused. I see that I’m not the only one. Then Victor throws a ball at Mo and suddenly he’s throwing balls like nothing and acting like Super Victor. I throw a ball to Mo and I feel stronger and I try splashing Mo with water. And it works! People start catching on and start throwing balls at Mo. “No, no! Don’t throw at him! He’s already out!” Ms Blatan calls. But even she catches on that this is how we get the powers back. After a while she says, “Actually keep doing that. I like having super students.” Gym class finishes and we change back from gym. Mo says, “Kinda bruised but that was fun! Thanks for giving me the full elementary experience! I, uh, would still like to go to that school dance. I know that’s out of our deal but uh I’ll give you one more wish.” “Um can we wish to end all the world’s problems and to kill Mr Dmitri?” “Well, I grant the last thing I hear so you want to kill Mr Dmitri over ending the world’s problems?” I flashback to when I made the last wish. From what I remember I said, “We wish to kill Damion and return to normal size.” That means that Damion’s… Damion’s still alive. COME ON! DAMION’S ALIVE!? THAT IS SO UNFAIR. But for the final wish, we said, “We wish to end all the world’s problems.” Mo focused harder than he normally did. I don’t know how energy can radiate from a person, but it was radiating from Mo. I feel great. I don’t know how, if it was the wish, or Mo’s energy, but either way, I felt awesome. Until Chris told us something he saw. Damion came back, like I guessed. But Damion is a Demon. Now we got Damion the Demon on our hands. And he sounds even creepier than Damion the flaming emo.

So if there’s anything you should take away is that being an ant SUCKS. And also, try not to meet a flaming wannabe anime emo kid.

Liz I’ve always loved Science. I like the way it works, how it connects the dots, but I never thought I would end up almost killing me. The story starts a day ago. As a 6th grader, I became the principal of an elementary school. I won in court against the principal for shooting a video and posting it without my consent, thereby turning us into millionaires and turning me into the principal. Apparently, the science teacher was not happy with the new arrangements and decided to drug us, make us tiny and trap us . We went on a paper mache volcano and got caught by damien. He captured us at the size of ants and made us a deal. We had to turn him into a genie or else we would die so we “promised” to get an actual genie to turn him into one, but instead we vouched to kill him and turn normal again. We got our powers back in gym class and then got another wish so that the genie will be able to stay at the school for another day. We wished that we wanted to end all major human problems. We truly did feel good. Tomorrow I will find a way to make an instant Avatar state, FIRE MR.DIMITRI FOR ALL OF TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, and make sure Mo has the ultimate school dance. For the avatar state, I was thinking of a screen that would show a sad movie and commence avatar state because those movies tear me up. Damion is back as the Fucking devil so I will defintely need it. I really do wonder what will happen in the dance.

I forgot about math class, so we decided that we would save the wish for later or else if you did the wish right now the worst things could happen next. In science class, the science teacher brought a volcano in, we all thought the science teacher is evil, when Chris or someone else read the science teacher's mind it said “this genie is ruining everything so this genie deserves this” then the volcano started to make purple smoke come out, the science locked the door and the window we use to get out so he trapped us in there. Then we had about 2 or 3 mins until we turned small. We tried our magic to get out but the purple smoke which somehow made our magic go out. We didn't manage to make it out in 2or 3 mins so we turned small Mo passed out, then we all passed out, then we woke up and found out we were very small, and we were IN THE VOLCANO WE FREAKED OUT WHEN WE SAW A spider. Damien picked us out and threatened us to feed us to the centipedes then he said to himself “I feed you to the centipedes and you die then I will be a genie and all your powers will be GONE!” but then I said “I know someone who gave us the powers and could turn you into a genie, but not only that, you have three wishes you can use I wish to be a genie, and the two other wish for something else, but only under one condition you have to bring him to school for three days.” Damien said “Let's make a deal, you tell me who the genie is and where it is and I'll let you go” so we told him about Mo. we used our wish, we wish to be normal sized again and kill Damien. When we went to gym class the gym teacher said we are playing dodgeball hard mode. I can’t remember but the first person that hit Mo got his or her powers back so everyone began to throw a ball at Mo. So I wish for the good of the world.

Julie

Kylie

I was at home enjoying lovely pizza when suddenly, my dog started barking and my dad came down the stairs and said that I was going to be late to school if I don’t be quick and so my mom packed my backpack and my dad drove me to school. Thankfully, I was not late. Our first class was history class, which was super boring because the teacher is. And we went on a field trip. Mr. Marcle was boring and so we all slept away from him when he was staring at an old fashioned slide. We met Damion and he was chasing us with a flaming hand. We fell down a cliff and landed in mud. Then Deanna tripped over a teapot. And she rubbed it. A genie came out and got hit by Damion’s flaming hand.

Bingyin

It was a completely normal Thursday morning, the sun had awoken from its slumber, and the birds were chirping merrily. The decision to save the final wish had been confirmed that same morning before Mrs.Bell had arrived. Anyway, after math class, it was science. “What a great way to start off the day,” I mumbled under my breath. When we got to the science classroom, there was a paper-mache volcano on the table. Mr.Dimitri looked at us and grumbled something about stupid kids and taking over the school or whatever. He then walked out of the room angrily. He slammed the door shut and to my horror, “click,” Mr.Dimitri had locked us in the science room with no instructions on what to do. Before anyone could even react to what had just happened, this strange purple smoke or mist or vapor started spouting out of the paper-mache volcano. That’s when I started to really panic, I was locked in a room with 16 other children who were just as panicked as me, and there was purple vapor filling the room. So, I did the only thing that made sense at the time, I ran over to the window and smashed it as hard as I could. Ya, that didn’t work. Magic was my second option but it seemed to be that the vapor diasbled people to do magic. THUD! I spun around to see Mo had fainted, or at least I thought so, to be honest I couldn’t tell if he was dead or had just passed out. I was about to run over and help but everything around me suddenly started to grow. I felt really dizzy and I think I passed out but probably not because it was only around 30 seconds before I woke up again. It took a few seconds for me to realize that we were now on the volcano which now looked humongous. This could obviously only mean that we shrunk. Once I had calmed down, I formed two plans in my head. Number 1: climb down the leg of the table we were on and try to find other escape routes other than the door that now seemed to be like 2 miles away. NUmber 2: stay where we are and try contacting others for help. That was pretty much as far as I got because half way through forming my third escape plan, a spider interrupted my thoughts. Okay confession time, I totally screamed. I mean like can you blame me? The spider looked ginormous from where I was standing, with all it’s creepy eyes and many

legs. So I tried to run away, not very heroic, I know, but fighting really wasn’t an option when you're 5 times smaller than your opponent and have no weapons, skill,or power over it. Some did try to fight though, which kind of makes me feel guilty for wanting to run away, but like Damion was the one who killed it anyway. Surprising, I know. But that was probably only because he wanted to kill us himself, because he was going to drop us in a tank full of centipedes and beetles and whatever else if it weren’t for the deal. That’s right, we made a deal with Damion that if he didn’t drop us in the tank, we would give him our last wish. I actually thought it was going to happen until Deanna backstabbed Damion and wished to kill Damion and turn us back to normal size. Well it worked, we returned to normal size and Damion seemed pretty dead alright. So after that catastrophe, it was P.E class. Ya, we just left Damion on the floor. Anyway, after getting changed we arrived at the gym. Can you guess what we played? If your guess was dodgeball then you were partly right. It was dodgeball, but instead of using normal balls we used these like ten pound balls. It was pretty hard to even lift them up but surprisingly fun at the same time. However I feel pretty bad for Mo because in order to have gotten our powers back, we had to hit Mo with a ball. Not sure why but I still feel pretty guilty about that. Once P.E class was finished, we slowly made our way back to the homeroom, but while doing so, we made an agreement with Mo that if we allowed him to stay one more day for the school dance, he would give us one more wish. Of course we agreed and decided to make the wish right there right then. What'd we wish for? Well we finally made a wish for the good of the world. I was feeling pretty satisfied until I remembered that Mo couldn’t do combo wishes. He would just grant the last thing he heard. That’s when it slowly started to dawn on me that Damion wasn’t dead, he was just faking it. The last thing Mo had heard was the wish to return us back to normal size, which meant Damion was still out there somewhere. I chill rolled down my spine, Was I just talking nonsense or was this going to be the return of Damion?

Science experiment By Catherine Catherine was sitting in a courtroom waiting for the verdict. “Ok Liz is the principal and we are going to give you 10 millon dollars.” said the judge to the class. After Catherine was going back to the school for class. “Hi, I just want to let you know that just because you have superpowers and you guys run the school does not mean that I am going to be any more easier on you” said Mrs. Bell. Catherine thought I just hope you do not make it more hard than normal because we earn more than you do. The teacher started taking attendance. After the teacher left the class to take the attendance to the office. “Would you like your wish now ?” asked the genie. “No” we replied. Mrs. Bell returned back to the classroom. "Today we are going to learn about math." she said. "What two numbers multiplied together equal 95?" said Mrs. Bell. "3 and 31.6666666667" shouted one of the students. " Two whole numbers please." said Mrs. Bell “Five and nineteen.” shouted another of Chloe’s Classmates. “Correct” said Mrs. Bell. “How about 94?” asked Mrs. Bell. “2 and 47” replied another of her classmates. “How about 93 ?” asked Mrs. Bell. “3 and 31” replied another of Chloe’s classmates “What do you notice about this number?” asked Mrs. Bell. “They are all primes,'' replied another of Chloe’s classmates. “Good job” says Mrs. Bell Next we had science class with Mr. Dimatorva. He rolls in a cart with a volcano. Liz is talking with us. Mr. Dimatorva was mixing random ingredients. Catherine read his mind. He thought I was going to show the little brats who took over my school. Purple smoke raises for the volcano. Catherine tries her magic but it does not work. Liz calles the teacher using her watch. Then Mo the genie faints and we get sucked into the volcano. After they are in the forest with a fake monkey. We start to see a creature crawling towards us. Then a hand squashes the spider. Catherine looks up and we see Damion. Damion says he is going to feed us to spiders and he will become the most powerful student and a genie like he always wanted to be. We say we have to deal if he does not feed us to the spiders we will let him be a genie. Damion asks how. We say we know someone who can, his name is Mo. Ok after he wakes up the genie and we ask the genie to kill damion and make us back to normal size. Then someone whispers to stop world hunger but we are sure that he did not hear it. Damion dies and we are back to normal size.

Afterwards we play dodgeball but the balls are giant heavy ones. We find out we still do not have magic powers. After Chris hits the genie with one of the balls. Then we all hit him with balls and get our magic back. Catherine uses protego to protect herself and uses accio to hit people. "I'm bruised, but guys, now I got the full elementary experience! It was awesome!" said Mo the Genie After the genie gives us another wish if we bring him to the school dance. We wish to stop the problems of humanity and make Mr. Dimatorva really old. “I can only grant one wish and I grant the last thing I hear” said Mo. Then we wish to stop all humanity's problems. Suddenly Catherine realizes that he has not died. “Wait, Damion is not dead” shouted Chris. Then Damion suddenly appears in front of us, his skin goes red and he grows horns.

RING RING RING, RING RING RING, I wake up to the sound of my ever annoying alarm. What is morning already? My name is Eric, and I am in elementary school. I normally enjoy school, but today is going to be tough. We are going on a field trip! I know what you might be thinking, field trips should be incredible right? Normally you would be right, but my class is visiting Mr. Markle, he is nice but his classes are boring. In the class, we are supposed to learn about how in the old days, teachers might spank students! I can’t imagine how painful that might be, I am also going to be there all day and looking at some artifacts like dinosaur bones and such. To my surprise I found my classmates sneaking out of class and out of curiosity and the sudden compulsion of leaving my boring class behind. Miraculously, our teacher did not seem to notice. We began wandering and we eventually ended up in a creepy old forest, just looking at it gives me goosebumps. It began to dawn on us that barely anybody comes down here and only an old man takes care of the place. Abruptly, a snobby kid about a year older than we emerged, my parents have warned us to stay away from this kid, and just as I was scratching my head trying to remember his name did one of my classmates scream “It’s Damion”! All he said was “ come with me if you dare! Unless you are a chicken of course.” Several of my comrades started to harass him but followed because they did not want to be chickens. We went deeper into the forest and he led us to a hut and he dared one of us to go in. Chris, one of our brave classmates volunteered to go in first. We saw that there was a spooky circle and Damion drew out a knife, he slices his arm a bit, and BAM! When we finally recovered from the blast, we stood up in horror to see that his arm was on fire! We all scramble from what looks like a demonic version of Damion and as the thought flashed in my mind that there were cliffs here, I no longer felt ground. We barely landed in a construction area of some sort and we all picked mud pits to hide in. Damion chased after me, as I was trying to escape, I tripped on something, I saw that it was a teapot of some sort. The legend of the genie boomed in my head and as my last hope, I began to rub it. Miraculously, a genie came out but I only hope vanished when Damion’s flaming arm flew into it and shattered it to mist. Just as I thought that all was over, we heard our teachers calling in the distance, hearing this we desperately called for help. When the teachers came, however, Damion started to bluff that he was trying to get us out of the pit and despite our story, the teachers did not believe us. When we finally finished our exhausting field trip, we went into the bus to see a kid that we did not recognize. “Hello! My name is Mo!” “OH”! Exclaimed Chris, you are the genie am I right? “Indeed I am,” said the genie. '' However, I have a favor to ask of you. “What”? We all exclaimed, “will you let me into your school for 3 days? If so, each day, you can ask me a wish, but remember, you cannot ask for love, more wishes, time travel, or anything else that is overpowered.” I huddled up with everybody to discuss this dilemma, we came to the conclusion of agreeing. The very next morning, I jumped out of bed thinking about what my wish was. When I got to school, I saw Mo sitting at a desk. “What are you doing here?” Said our teacher, Mo/the Genie glanced at us for help, Liz said” oh, he is just an exchange student from history because we are learning about blending culture, he is from Australia.” “Alright,” said the teacher and so we began class. I was quite nervous because we are doing a pop quiz and we will have trouble getting Mo through, he quickly asked us what our wishes were and I had an idea. And so it was, I will choose

telekinesis! All my classmates chose their own ability and Chris looked into the future to see the test answers will Kylie go invisible. We all went through the test quite successfully despite having a few problems. I soon found out that the next class was dodgeball and I realized that I could probably stop all the balls in midair! The moment came when I saw a barrage of dodgeballs being hurled at me. I concentrated all my might on controlling the balls and suddenly, I found that all the balls were floating and that I could control them with ease. I immediately tried throwing them back but to no avail. I laughed because I think that this will last for quite a while since we all now have powers and some of us can go invisible while others are naturally acrobatic. I stared in marvel as the first ball was landed, our game lasted for over 40 minutes and we were all laughing until our stomach went upside down because we had barely broken a sweat and our gym teacher was staring at us like we are aliens. The next class was taught by our least favorite teacher, Mr. Markles. It was boring, but our science teacher was downright mean. I was sitting in my chair bored out of my mind when an idea came into my mind. Since we have powers now, how about we revolt!? “ Yeah” REVOLT! Agreed on by my classmates, when the science teacher came in, we gave him a big surprise. I made him float in the air and my classmates attacked with punches or powers. Suddenly, “Stop,” said Mo, “I just wanted to come to school and do it normally, but this is not normal! The teacher is frozen right now but can I please have one day of normal classes?” We reluctantly agreed. Our teacher tied a metal ball to a chain and tied the chain to the roof. Celina volunteered, I was not worried about her because she had magic eyes, and in case anything goes wrong, I can stop the ball in midair. Our science teacher let go and the ball started swinging. I thought that our science teacher must be cackling inside but restrained myself from laughing because I know that it will not work. The ball ended up changing course and science class did not seem as boring after that scenario. After finishing the day at school, Chris had a horrible insight of tomorrow, “ a fire will come tomorrow” he warned “ I can use my water powers” said Liz, I left because I was getting more nervous. Tonight I am both excited and sad because I will be choosing my second wish tomorrow, but I also can not shake off the creepy insight that Chris had, as I started to doze off, I put everything behind my mind and decided to leave all that for tomorrow. This time I up my alarm extra early so I can get to school faster. After finishing my toast with strawberry jam, I was ready for the day but when I got to school, Mo was missing! Victor asked to go to the bathroom and found someone inside the locker, he tried kicking it open but it did not work, Kylie said that she was going to fill her water bottle but picked the locks. Mo was right in there, grinning, nice job! After that, he asked us if we wanted to save or use our wish, so I chose to save it. Next up was a test class, we were given a project to see if our structure could hold and not break the egg as it was thrown down. Our first design was putting the egg inside a special box, I know it is not going to work, so I slowed it down. The second part was when Mo threw the egg and Deanna did not catch it. The second design we also guided but right when it landed, I crushed the egg to bits because we thought it was suspicious. Our final and most creative design was made of pyramids and straws and it was the only one that truly landed. The next class was an absolute nightmare. We are doing tree planting, but worst of all, Damion is there and he is somehow the leader of the association. After breaking our backs in the field, suddenly, monsters sprouted from the ground and buried Chris alive! While helping Chris get out, I remembered his vision, was this where the flame came

from? After we got Chris out, he got yet another freaky vision, Mo was going to set it on fire, not Damion! We rushed to get more but Chris fainted after his last foresight of the day. I tried reading Mo’s mind but to my surprise, what he was thinking was how good it was to break his back on the field. Out of desperation, we used our powers to fight back, earth spikes, powerful winds, weapons, and monsters flying all around in utter chaos. “I think this will make a good time to make our wish!” said Julie. ‘How about we wish for apple watches that can turn into anything we want?’ Tiffy suggests. I saw a watch appear on my hand, now it’s time to reckon these monsters! In the distance, we heard someone yell, do something! We scrambled to Mo to stop him from lighting the school on fire. When the mayhem was over, we were called to an emergency meeting in the gym. “It seems we have got ourselves a team of superheroes!” Laughed the principal. I was dozing off until I heard the sentence that made me rage. “Leading our special team is Damion! WHAT! One moment he is trying to murder us and another he is our captain? All of us started protesting and even using powers to try to get attention but nobody heard. Mo got angry at us however and called us selfish because when you get the power you get selfish, we ignored him and continued protesting. Finally, after what seemed like forever, something happened. The principal asked Victor to come up and Damion whispered to him, “you better not ruin this for me, or else I will burn this place to the ground”. He then smiles and says to like and subscribe to the camera, all these actions barely contained us from charging but the everlasting threat poured cold water on us every time we got angry. Inside me, anger boiled like it never had before, and I knew that we are going to face Damion someday. A few days later, BOOM! I found myself in the court where we decided to go since we clearly needed payback on Damion. I was elated when the judge passed the notion and awarded each of us 20 million dollars! On top of that, Liz is also not the new principal! While taking attendance, Ms. Bell jokes “don’t throw around any Lambo’s while I am gone!” We also decided that we should save our last wish in case we need it later, and we would use it at the end of the day. We groaned when Ms.Bell mentioned it was math class, after completing 3 math questions about integers and prime numbers, it was time to go to science class, where our dreaded teacher Mr.Dimitri is. I was getting unsettled so I decided to ask Chris to read Mr. Dimitri’s mind. He succeeded and in horror, he told us that he was trying to overthrow us, just when I was chatting with my classmates to discuss this issue, Mr. Dimitri locked the door, and from a volcano(which I did not notice before) spewed some kind of smoke, soon enough, we are all choking and to our surprise, the volcano got bigger, and we got smaller! “Don’t worry, we got powers”! Who cares if we are small, we can bash out of this place”, said Julie. “Um… I don’t know about you but I can’t feel my powers!” Cried, Victor. I also tried lifting objects but it did not seem to work. Meanwhile, Liz, Kylie, Chris, and Julie were starting at the now giant Mo, who seemingly knocked himself up on purpose. Conveniently, although we were on the desk, we could firepole down the limbs of the desk and we started to bash the windows out of desperation. After our fit, we look around and notice that we are surrounded by plastic figures but suddenly, Chris and I hear something skittering around, soon, everybody seems to have heard it and theories were popping everywhere. To our surprise, it was a spider, we all charged at it despite not having our powers, and just when we tackled the spider, a giant mind squashed it to bits. It picked us up and we started screaming when we saw that it was Damion. “What do we have here?'' said Damion mockingly. “I have always wanted to be a genie and I assume you

got your powers from one? I want your wishes to make me a genie! Or else, I can just throw you into the planetarium, where a bunch of insects are.” We cursed and discussed, it was clear that we are in a rock and a hard place, but we had to relent. “Wait! Cried, Deanna. Mo is still out and we can say that he has to be awake to grant the wish, after he does awake we can wish to kill Damion and make us big again!” Indeed, Damion fell for it, and as he violently shakes Mo awake Deanna yelled “ I wish to kill Damion and make us big again! After that, we saw Damiani collapse to the ground and I can feel myself as I get bigger. We all cheered to have our original selves back again. I realized that we still did not have our powers, and we soon remembered that our vengeful science teacher was to blame for this and we vowed to get him back. Mo suddenly said, '' this is wonderful, you guys are back and we have time for gym”! To our dismay, we are doing something called super dodgeball because supposedly we are strong and we should be able to hurl 15 pound balls. We each took turns firing, Deanna missed her shot and got knocked by Mo, Kylie barely missed, and finally, I hit Mo in the head. Just then, I felt power surging through my body again and I made all the balls float and hurled all of them to Mo. When my classmates saw this, everybody started bombarding Mo and soon enough, everyone was zooming around, or making water shields and such. Wish powers back, I think that dodgeball is much for fun. After school is almost over Mo said “too bad, I really wanted to go dancing, how about this, if you let me go to the party, I will give you one more wish, you know, since you wanted to save the world, also, I only grant the thing you say last in the wish. “Alright, said Victor, we wish to end all of humanity’s problems.” I suddenly felt a lot better, and Chris once again asked for foresight. What he saw next haunted me. We came back shocked as he told us that Damion was alive, and he grew horns and both of his arms were flaming, and just as he was getting a good look, he vanished. “I realized that the wish was not granted because we did not say it first,” said Chris. I became a little worried because Damion very much resembled a devil, even so, I was confident of our capabilities and I looked on to our battle with Damion.

Victor - Class 4 - Science experiment

In math class, we did a few multiplication problems that were very easy, but not fun at all. In my opinion, it was way too easy and I wanted to do something else, something more fun, instead of math. The next class is science class, and our teacher is Mr. Demetre. In science class today we are doing an experiment that involved a giant volcano, that I didn't know what his experiment is and what it did. He couldn't get the class's attention so he slammed a textbook onto the desk to get our attention. He then started pouring in the liquids by himself which I thought was very fishy. My classmate started reading his mind and it was not good news because he wanted to kill us.

Purple smoke starts pouring out of the volcano and starts delaying our use of our powers. Suddenly, more gas starts pouring out and my classmates start panicking and trying to break the window but it's no use. We try to use our weapons and force to try and break the weapons but it's no use and we cannot break the window. We try to call some of the teachers but it wont work, and after a while we start shrinking in size and we fall into the volcano.

As we started shrinking, we landed on the side of the desk, and it took a moment for me to realize, we have shrunk in size and now are very small. We are also on the edge of the volcano and a desk was really near, so if we fall we might get off but we will break some bones. Then someone comes up with a brilliant idea to use our poles and slide off the leg off the desk. We started to walk toward the desk and Chris heard something, and we then saw a huge spider near the desk. I then hit the spider using a monkey and it came toward me, but Damion squished the spider and sort of saved us. He then thinks about killing us, but then we tell him the genie gave us our powers and we could give him a wish, he does not know we are going to trick him so he lets us free, and we go to Mo, and we ask him to kill Damion and bring us to normal size. It was all normal now and it was time for our next class, Gym. We head to the gym and the teacher explains that we are playing super-dodgeball which is dodgeball with metal balls. When we start throwing the dodgeballs, our power starts to return and nobody gets out again because we all target Mo. After gym, Mo then says to us that he could grant us one wish if it was for the good of the world, and we all agreed that all the world’s problems would be gone, I wanted to say the wish so I told Mo what we wanted and it worked. We all thought it was going to end well, but in the science room Damion came back alive and now he is a Demon.

SESSION FIVE

The School Dance

Marcus

Today was more exciting than usual. The day started off with drug class with Officer Turner. He started singing poems about how if you start vaping your gonna die and asking if we wanted to see his box of drugs. After Liz kicks him out, we have science class with Dr. Brown, who wants us to mix cornstarch with water,food colouring and things. We also kick him out because he's suspicious. We also learn Damions last name is Brown so that's cool. The school dance starts and DJ Jazzy Hans starts playing the Hamster Dance, while nobody dances. Suddenly slimes start to attack. We draw our overpowered magic items and bending powers. But we soon learn each time we hit the slime, it splits into two versions of itself. We are forced to save the teachers and beat up the slime. After fighting for a while, Damion appears and we have a fight. Mo keeps giving us life jackets but it doesn’t help until the school floods. Damion has a crystal and shoots an epic beam which hurts Deanna. We zap it with lightning and it hits Damion which kills him. Catherine quickly heals Deanna and we have won. Mo thanks us and asks us if he can stay at Grand Mountain Academy and we say yes. Epilogue: After the cool battle, I believe I'm going to continue my boring life as a student and play video games at home and chill at school.

The principal of the school called a meeting for all of the staff in the school for a meeting about the spring dance. They talked about what the theme of the spring dance would be and settled on under the ocean. As we went to class. The class was about drugs, and what are the most dangerous types of drugs and their dangers and all because someone found a vape in a person’s locker. After that, we went to science class where we had a new teacher that prefers to be paid in cash. He taught us about oobleck and how it works. Everyone was confused because the principal said that they will not hire a science teacher after a while because of the last incident. After class, it was time to go to the dance. The DJ was called DJ Jazzy Hans. The principal had some suspicion about him, but still, let him do his job after the teachers said that he always comes to DJ the school dance. We all went to the school dance and had a great time for a while vibing to the music. Suddenly slime oozed out everywhere and engulfed DJ Jazzy Hans. DJ Jazzy Hans melted into nothingness instantly. Suddenly we got a report from the office saying that our science teacher was fired from his job because he was doing experiments on a baby. The science teacher was also doing experiments on moving things with radiation on their own. That’s what the slimes were doing moving on their own. Me as an acrobatic person I hung up to the roof avoiding the dangerous substance. Some asked the genie for help, the genie turned the goo into water, and the people who had power with water made the water come up to the roof. I was drowning. Even though they flied the water into the ceiling every on the ground floor was still drawing because of the pure amount of water. Suddenly someone sees Damion with an orb. Someone tried to steal it but the orb zapped that person resulting in massive injuries. One person

zapped the orb with lighting. Suddenly the ob disappeared, and Damion also got zapped by the orb a disappeared. Suddenly the roof of the school blew off, and the water went away. Lots of death in this spring dance. Moe still wanted to stay at this school and thanked us. That’s the story of this school. After school, I leaped on top of buildings, watched over the city independently. I also changed my identity so no one, not even my peers will know who I am. I am the protector of the protectors of this city. I am Bladehell. I ‘m armed with two swords and only.

Chris When I got to school Liz our new principal who is our principal now due to the court doing I guess and well was talking about the concerns about Mr. Dimitri cause last time we met him he trapped us in a volcano and used some sort of drugs so Liz somehow sent him to an asylum, after we went to homeroom and Ms. Bell invited Officer Turner and he was holding a big briefcase filled with drugs and asked “what is the most dangerous drug in his briefcase?” and after a lot of guessing he said that it was a vape because it was a gateway drug and says “if you take a vape you might as well be died” so I said “don’t mind if I do” and knocked myself out and woke up when the bell rung and went to science class and the new science teacher who’s name is Mr. Brown and we are making slime for some reason so I made a green slime and it was very cool, the DJ who was named DJ Jazzy Hans and I and probably some other people were immediately very SUS so I did not trust him. Ms. Bell gave us some options and we did an underwater themed dance, after DJ Jazzy Hans introduces himself and then starts playing Hamster song 2 then for some reason big blobs of slime?!?! Then a big blob of slime appears behind DJ Jazzy Hans and basically melts him only leaving his sunglasses behind then we all start fighting the slimes, I use my magic staff to make a spike like I did when the earth monsters came but it just passed right though after a bit of strategizing I hear a spell being sayed and quickly duck I want to get out of the gym so I made an arcane dome to protect me so I went to the exit the door but there is a big slime so I dived into it and it hurt alot but I got throw the slime and saw Catherine and Liz and see this red, god like, chain and I was very confused on what it was, I saw Damion and knew he was up to something so I began charging up for a lighting spell and did not really pay attention to what was happening but I for some reason got a life jacket and the next thing I know the gym is full of water so I make an arcane shield so I could breath a bit and saw Damion and a crystal ball, Deanna tried to grab the ball or something I did not know but she got shot with a ray of doom or a kill-o-beam so I got out of the arcane shield and shot lightning at the orb and it got zapped and I realized there was like an Eye of Sauron or something and it looked at Damion and he mouthed something and got shot with a kill-o-beam then the roof flies of and the life jackets that appeared saved us and Deanna’s face was in the water so I tried healing her but it did not work so Catherine healed her instead.After the calamity is over when Mo goes to picks up DJ Jazzy Hans sunglasses and was about to head out but Liz invited Mo to stay and so he did.

Epilogue

10 years later I am in the nuclear factory next to my old school and I was working on some new reactors which will help us get more energy than the factory I am working in and I did it! I took the very small reactor to the school “Grand Mountain Academy'' as I walked in to Liz’s office I met Mo who was the new Janitor “G’day Mat- Chris!?!” “hey Mo” I said back and brought the new reactor to Liz’s office “hey Liz got something for you” “what is it?” she replied and I held up the small reactor “you did it!” “you owe me my lunch for a year” I said because 5 years ago I made a bet with Liz that if I could make a reactor that is small , affordable and gives more energy than the nuclear reactor that I was working on “fine” she said rolling her eyes and I snickered well I will be going back now I am showing this to the Prime Minister and then I remembered a vision that I had in the 6th grade and it was me shaking hands with the Prime Minister with a medal, I took the reactor to the Prime Minister and yep this is how I got the medal.

Nobody died? Aw, that’s sad

Elizabeth MY god, the previous principal is a dumb@ass. He hires way too many people that shouldn’t be hired. All the science teachers are crazy, The school got destroyed, and the most trusted kid in the whole school is a demon. I had to Spend my whole morning just fixing his blunders. I missed out on health cause I was surprised a cop who we spent 3000 dollars on turned out to be a mediocre shadow of a cop who showed a bunch of drugs, so which may be inhalants, in a class of elementary students. We could’ve improved our failing music department but got a horrible cop instead. We science class rolled over, I had to make sure that he didn’t have anything nasty planned. The last science teacher had to be sent to an asylum. Then I needed to question his credibility and his job. I needed so much information that I didn't have. Then he just disappears. I don’t trust him and I was right because our slime turned into monsters because of him during the school dance. I only saw them because a student kept on teleporting me from one place to another until I was in my office eating oreos with my secretary. I only remember the aftermath and the fact that I invited Mo to my destroyed school. What a headache. Epilogue. I managed to fix the school quite easily and became the principal but gave up that job quite soon. I decided to work on politics. I represent the region in which the grand mountain academy is in. I am the principal still but I left the work to my secretary. She acts like a principal would but I would still be able to make the more important decisions. I donated all my money after I became the youngest politician, to the school and it’s rebuilt. Honestly right now, as I am only 15, I felt as if I did way too much for a lifetime. And I’m the avatar so I have to “keep” balance to the world. Soon more benders will appear with the avatar am I definitely will have to do stuff about that. For now, I’ll bite only what I can chew. Now, all is good but where is Damien's dad?

Julie Liz called a meeting of how evil Damien and mr.science teacher is, so she fired the science teacher. Then Liz’s secretary paid money for the police to come teach us about drugs they found the most dangerous, well let’s just say they think it’s the most dangerous drug . We had science, ten minutes later Mo said ‘if the teacher doesn’t come in ten minutes we just go home” but we still waited, 4 minutes later, the science teacher came in it wasn’t the evil science teacher it was a old man, he said “hello everybody my name is Mr.Brown” everyone thought it was Damien, even i thought it was Damien, so we ended up making oobleck we got to put glitter in it add some colour in it, when we call him Mr.Brown he’s always like Dr. Brown, but we still call him Mr.Brown. Everyone is at the gym for the dance, while me and Liz aka the principle and a 6 grader tried to figure out who Mr/Dr.Brown, we asked Liz’s secretary but her secretary said “i was at the dentist” so we tried to figure at who told him to be the science teacher, later a guy named DJ Jazzy Hans came in Liz’s office and said he is the DJ, then Liz ask her secretary to send him away but her secretary said he is the DJ for every year. So the DJ went to the gym and started an underwater themed dance, Ms.Bell AKA the one in Starfish costume she is giving everyone high fives fist bumps, DJ Jazzy Hans wishes us all an amazing day! We all did a hamster dance well except for me and Liz. We were in the office, in the gym the oobleck we made turned into SLIME MONSTERs!!! Everyone in the gym freak out, and even me and Liz freak out when the iron parts of the door melted and we were trapped in the office. Mo found DJ Jazzy Hans’s hat and that means RIP DJ Jazzy Hans. We and Liz did some research and we found DAMIEN BROWN? Everyone in the gym panicked. The Super Heroes aka us saved the teachers, A monster was heading toward Ms.Bell so someone kicked the monster, so that person safed Ms.Bell, Then the monster trapped us in the school, Damien return with fire balls and said “ I will do this for you father” so he started shooting fireballs at us then he manage his way to me and Liz and started shooting fireballs at me and Liz and said “hello principle” then started shooting more fireballs at us. Liz got freed by someone which means I also got freed but I didn't decide to leave Liz’s office i wanted to do more research then I started battling, Liz’s secretary said “I'm not suppose to eat this after the dentist, but I'm gonna die anyways” it was a Boss Battle now! The school is set on fire by Damien’s fire balls so all the water and air benders including me made water come in so after that we basically flooded the whole school,Damien has a crystal ballot hit Deanna. We couldn't breath so we have a five minutes timer until we die or drown. We told Mo to do something then Mo clapped his hands and gave us a live jacket but how is that going to work? how we float at the very top of the gym so we took some air, but we saw Deanna facing down, her health is at 0 we ask for her health to be 1 or 2 so she choked on some water and lived! We zapped the Crystal ball and it Kill-o-beam dissolves Damien! Then suddenly The roof blows off the air bender including me, had to put the roof back! We almost died from drowning and then Mo saved us by putting life jackets on us. Deanna almost died, but she's alive and well!

Liz called a meeting with the teachers and we came. Liz fired Mr. Dimitrion and the police officers arrested him. Then one police stayed and started talking about drugs. We had a new science teacher named Mr. Brown and Liz did not hire him. And so Liz was trying to find out who hired Mr. Brown. After science class we were planning the class dance and we decided to make it underwater themed. DJ Jazzy Hans comes in and starts the school dance Hamster dance. Then gigantic slime balls start attacking and one dissolved DJ Jazzy Hans. We fought the slimes for a while and we managed to win. After that, we started cleaning up the gym. Then, a huge Damion devil came. Mo brought the teachers to safety as we battled Damion. We asked Mo to help and he gave us all life jackets. And he said there we go, I helped! We asked Mo to give us more water and he fills up the whole school with water up to the roof. And we started drowning. Tiffany teleports me away from the water and then Devil Damion gets destroyed. Mo is very happy and starts to walk away and we tell him he can stay in the school if he wants to. And so Mo stayed. We repaired the school and I was the new science teacher. Now, this is a school managed by kids.

The school dance By Catherine Today Catherine arrived at class excited and nervous. She was excited for the school dance, but she also was nervous that Damion was going to crash the dance. This morning Liz the principal had just announced that there was going to be a meeting in the gym. "Hello, I'm really sorry about the things that happened as you guys probably know, yesterday the science teacher tried to trap Mrs. Bell's home room and almost got them killed. As the principal I punish him by firing him, then putting him into asylum." said Liz. "Home room class is in two minutes, one of Catherine's classmates reminds them. Then some random people in white clothes drag the science teacher out. "There will be no science class until further notice. I will make sure that science teachers that we hire will not get us killed." continued Liz. " Everyone please return to your classes. This meeting has ended. Thank you very much." said Liz Catherine heads back to class with her classmates and Liz. The officer arrives carrying a briefcase and Mrs.Bell leaves the class. "Hi, as you know someone got trapped in a locker" says Mr. Turner. "He's talking about me, I got trapped into a locker !" exclaimed Mo. "We have found a vape in the locker." continued the officer. "It was Mo who got trapped into the locker.

We are pretty sure that Damion put the vape inside the locker." said Kylie. "I'm not here to investigate the case. I'm here to scare you away from drugs.'' said the officer. "Who hired you ?" asked Liz. The officer did not reply. "We know about drugs already. We do not need you to educate us on it" said another of Catherine's classmates. The police officer opened the briefcase and inside was drugs. Catherine thought why do you have so many drugs? "Ok then can you tell which one is the most dangerous here?" said the police officer. The students shouted a bunch of random drug names. "No I will tell you it is a vape." said the officer. Catherine looked out and saw Mrs. Bell put her hand to her face. Next we had off to science class. We wait 1 minute and then 2 minutes but no teacher has. When it was almost 10 minutes one teacher finally came. "Hello, my name Dr. Browns I used to work for a research Centre" said Dr. Brown "Who hired you?" demanded Liz. The science teacher did not reply. "Today we are going to be making some slime." continued the science teacher. "We are going to be mixing cornstarch and water. Then you can add sprinkles or stars or googly eyes." said Dr. Brown. Everyone was making slime Disable except for Liz who was trying to figure out who Dr. Brown was. Catherine made purple slime with stars. "Bye" said Dr. Brown. Then he walks really slowly.

It was lunchtime and everyone was eating except Liz who was in her office trying to figure out who Mr. Brown was. After lunch Catherine heads down to the school dance. "What theme is it?" asked Liz. "Under the sea theme. It was decided before you became principal." says Mrs.Bell. "Ok" said Liz. Liz then returned to her office and the DJ arrived. The DJ wore blacked clothes and had his hair dyed. Then the DJ went to the gym. "Hi, my name is DJ Jazzy Hans. I believe that children are the future. Today I have prepared you with an excellent song" said DJ Jazzy Hans. He starts to play the music and all the teachers and students dance. Then all of a sudden a giant blob of pink slime comes into the room. We all try to battle it with our magic. Suddenly a blob of slime comes toward Catherine. She tries to apparate out of the school but instead finds herself in the hallway near the principal's office. She sees a hot metal chain wrapped around the school. Catherine tries to bomb it with bombarda maxima but the metal chain remains still and solid. After Catherine figures out that Liz must be in the office, she can help with her powers. Then she bombs the door without thinking or warning Liz. Liz gets slammed in the face by the door and Catherine apologises. Then she apparates her out and into

the gym. Then she apparates her back to the office because she does not want to be there. She hears I have some information about Dr. Brown. Dr. Brown has a son and he is in our school. "Who?" says Liz. "Damion"replied the secretary. "What?" said Liz. "And he got fired for doing illegal experiments on a baby." said the secretary. Then she goes back and starts to apparate teachers out of the gym and into the hallway. Then all of a sudden Damion returns and starts blasting fire balls at us. Catherine procets to using protego. She tries to shoot water at the fireballs using aguamenti but she misses. Then she tries to redirect the fire balls towards Damion. It hits Damion but nothing happens to him. "Ha ha says Damion. Help we scream at Mo. Mo snaps his finger and life jackets appear. Catherine thought why in the world do we need life jackets?. Some of the water benders start to water bend. The gym fills up with water. Catherine uses the bubble head charm. She looks up and sees Damion with a glass. Inside the glass was an eye. The eye hits Delanna. Then some people blast it with lighting and it hits Damion. The kill-o-laser dissolves Damion.

Suddenly the roof falls off and we all gasp for air. Catherine thought thanks god the roof had fallen off or else I would have died. Then Catherine rushed towards Delanna and healed her with her wand. We ask if Mo would like to stay at the school Mo says yes. Epilogue 3 weeks later Catherine was fixing the building with her other students. She was also talking to Liz about what happened. Mo the genie was happily snacked on sandwiches in the kitchen that they had already fixed. Later that day Catherine was rereading the Harry Potter series and taking notes on each of the spells and practicing them except for the dangerous and violent ones. As Chris had predicted she had also met Justin Tredeau and shaked hands with him. She was glad that the world was perfect.

By Eric

RING RING RING, RING RING RING, I wake up to the sound of my ever-annoying alarm. What is morning already? My name is Eric, and I am in elementary school. I normally enjoy school, but today is going to be tough. We are going on a field trip! I know what you might be thinking, field trips should be incredible right? Normally you would be right, but my class is visiting Mr. Markle, he is nice, but his classes are boring. In the class, we are supposed to learn about how in the old days, teachers might spank students! I cannot imagine how painful that might be, I am also going to be there all day and looking at some artifacts like dinosaur bones and such. To my surprise I found my classmates sneaking out of class and out of curiosity and the sudden compulsion of leaving my boring class behind, miraculously, our teacher did not seem to notice. We began wandering and we eventually ended up in a creepy old forest, just looking at it gives me the goosebumps. It began to dawn on us that barely anybody comes down here and only an old man takes care of the place. Abruptly, a snobby kid about a year older than we emerged, my parents have worn us to stay away from this kid, and just as I was scratching my head trying to remember his name did one of my classmates scream “It’s Damion”! All he said was “come with me if you dare! Unless you are a chicken of course.” Several of my comrades started to harass him but followed because they did not want to be chickens. We went deeper into the forest and he led us to a hut, and he dared one of us to go in. Chris, one of our brave classmates volunteered to go in first. We saw that there was a spook circle and Damion drew out a knife, he slices his arm a bit, and BAM! When we finally recovered from the blast, we stood up in horror to see that his arm was on fire! We all scramble from what looks like a demonic version of Damion and as the thought flashed in my mind that there were cliffs here, I no longer felt ground. We barely landed in a construction area of some sort and we all picked mud pits to hide in. Damion chased after me, as I was trying to escape, I tripped on something, I saw that it was a teapot of some sort. The legend of the genie boomed in my head and as my last hope, I began to rub it. Miraculously, a genie came out, but I only hope vanished when Damion’s flaming arm flew into it and shattered it to mist. Just as I thought that all was over, we heard our teachers calling in the distance, hearing this we desperately called for help. When the teachers came, however, Damion started to bluff that he was trying to get us out of the pit and despite our story, the teachers did not believe us. When we finally finished our exhausting field trip, we went into the bus to see a kid that we did not recognize. “Hello! My name is Mo!” “OH”! Exclaimed Chris, you are the genie am I right? “Indeed, I am,” said the genie” however, I have a favor to ask of you. “What”? We all exclaimed, “will you let me into your school for 3 days? If so, each day, you can ask me a wish, but remember, you cannot ask for love, more wishes, time travel, or anything else that is overpowered.” I huddled up with everybody to discuss this dilemma, we concluded agreeing.

The very next morning, I jumped out of bed thinking about what my wish was. When I got to school, I saw Mo sitting at a desk. “What are you doing here?” Said our teacher, Mo/the Genie

glanced at us for help, Liz said” oh, he is just an exchange student from history because we are learning about blending culture, he is from Australia.” “Alright,” said the teacher and so we began class. I was quite nervous because we are doing a pop quiz and we will have trouble getting Mo through, he quickly asked us what our wishes were, and I had an idea. And so it was, I will choose telekinesis! All my classmates chose their own ability and Chris investigated the future to see the test answers will Kylie go invisible. We all went through the test quite successfully despite having a few problems. I soon found out that the next class was dodgeball and I realized that I could probably stop all the balls in midair! The moment came when I saw a barrage of dodgeballs being hurled at me. I concentrated all my might on controlling the balls and suddenly, I found that all the balls were floating and that I could control them with ease. I immediately tried throwing them back but to no avail. I laughed because I think that this will last for quite a while since we all now have powers and some of us can go invisible while others are naturally acrobatic. I stared in marvel as the first ball was landed, our game lasted for over 40 minutes and we were all laughing until our stomach went upside down because we had barely broken a sweat and our gym teacher was staring at us like we are aliens. The next class was taught by our least favorite teacher, Mr. Markle’s. It was boring, but our science teacher was downright mean. I was sitting in my chair bored out of my mind when an idea came into my mind. Since we have powers now, how about we revolt!? “Yeah” REVOLT! Agreed on by my classmates, when the science teacher came in, we gave him a big surprise. I made him float in the air and my classmates attacked with punches or powers. Suddenly, “Stop,” said Mo, “I just wanted to come to school and do it normally, but this is not normal! The teacher is frozen right now but can I please have one day of normal classes?” We reluctantly agreed. Our teacher tied a metal ball to a chain and tied the chain to the roof. Celina volunteered, I was not worried about her because she had magic eyes, and in case anything goes wrong, I can stop the ball in midair. Our science teacher let go and the ball started swinging, I thought that our science teacher must be cackling inside but restrained myself from laughing because I know that it will not work. The ball ended up changing course and science class did not seem as boring after that scenario. After finishing the day at school, Chris had a horrible insight of tomorrow, “a fire will come tomorrow” he warned “I can use my waterpowers” said Liz, I left because I was getting more nervous. Tonight, I am both excited and sad because I will be choosing my second wish tomorrow, but I also can not shake off the creepy insight that Chris had, as I started to doze off, I put everything behind my mind and decided to leave all that for tomorrow. This time I up my alarm extra early so I can get to school faster. After finishing my toast with strawberry jam, I was ready for the day but when I got to school, Mo was missing! Victor asked to go to the bathroom and found someone inside the locker, he tried kicking it open, but it did not work, Kylie said that she was going to fill her water bottle but picked the locks. Mo was right in there, grinning, nice job! After that, he asked us if we wanted to save or use our wish, so I chose to save it. Next up was a test class, we were given a project to see if our structure could hold and not break the egg as it was thrown down. Our first design was putting the egg inside a special box, I know it is not going to work, so I slowed it down, the second part was when Mo threw the egg and Deanna did not catch it. The second design we also guided but right when it landed, I crushed the egg to bits because we thought it was suspicious. Our final and most creative design was made of pyramids and straws and it was the

only one that truly landed. The next class was my absolute nightmare, we are doing tree planting, but worse of all, Damion is there, and he is somehow the leader of the association. After breaking our backs in the field, suddenly, monsters sprouted from the ground and buried Chris alive! While helping Chris get out, I remembered his vision, was this where the flame came from? After we got Chris out, he got yet another freaky vision, Mo was going to set it on fire, not Damion! We rushed to get more but Chris fainted after his last foresight of the day. I tried reading Mo’s mind but to my surprise, what he was thinking was how good it was to break his back on the field. Out of desperation, we used our powers to fight back, earth spikes, powerful winds, weapons, and monsters flying all around in utter chaos. “I think this will make a good time to make our wish!” said Julie. ‘How about we wish for apple watches that can turn into anything we want?’ Tiff suggests. I saw a watch appear on my hand, now it is time to reckon these monsters! In the distance, we heard someone yell, do something! We scrambled to Mo to stop him from lighting the school on fire. When the mayhem was over, we were called to an emergency meeting in the gym. “It seems we have got ourselves a team of superheroes!” Laughed the principal. I was dozing off until I heard the sentence that made me rage. “Leading our special team is Damion! WHAT! One moment he is trying to murder us and another he is our captain? All of us started protesting and even using powers to try to get attention but nobody heard. Mo got angry at us however and called us selfish because when you get the power you get selfish, we ignored him and continued protesting. Finally, after what seemed like forever, something happened. The principal asked Victor to come up and Damion whispered to him, “you better not ruin this for me, or else I will burn this place to the ground”. He then smiles and says to like and subscribe in the camera, all these actions barely contained us from charging, but the everlasting threat poured cold water on us every time we got angry. Inside me, anger boiled like it never had before, and I knew that we are going to face Damion someday.

A few days later, BOOM! I found myself in the court where we decided to go since we clearly needed payback on Damion. I was elated when the judge passed the notion and awarded each of us 20 million dollars! On top of that, Liz is also not the new principal! While taking attendance, Ms. Bell jokes “don’t throw around any Lambo’s while I am gone!” We also decided that we should save our last wish in case we need it later, and we would use it at the end of the day. We groaned when Ms. Bell mentioned it was math class, after completing 3 math questions about integers and prime numbers, it was time to go to science class, where our dreaded teacher Mr. Dimitri is. I was getting unsettled, so I decided to ask Chris to read Mr. Dimitri’s mind. He succeeded and in horror, he told us that he was trying to overthrow us, just when I was chatting with my classmates to discuss this issue, Mr. Dimitri locked the door, and from a volcano (which I did not notice before) spewed smoke, soon enough, we are all choking and to our surprise, the volcano got bigger, and we got smaller! “Don’t worry, we got powers”! Who cares if we are small, we can bash out of this place”, said Julie? “Um… I don’t know about you, but I can’t feel my powers!” Cried, Victor. I also tried lifting objects, but it did not seem to work. Meanwhile, Liz, Kylie, Chris, and Julie were starting at the now giant Mo, who seemingly knocked himself up on purpose. Conveniently, although we were on the desk, we could firepole down the limbs of the desk and we started to bash the windows out of desperation. After our fit, we look around and notice that we are surrounded by plastic figures but suddenly, Chris and I hear something

skittering around, soon, everybody seems to have heard it and theories are popping everywhere. To our surprise, it was a spider, we all charged at it despite not having our powers, and just when we tackled the spider, a giant mind squashed it to bits. It picked us up and we started screaming when we saw that it was Damion. “What do we have here”? Said Damion mockingly. “I have always wanted to be a genie and I assume you got your powers from one? I want your wishes to make me a genie! Or else, I can just throw you into the planetarium, where a bunch of insects is.” We cursed and discussed, it was clear that we are in a rock and a hard place, but we had to relent. “Wait! Cried, Deanna. Mo is still out, and we can say that he has to be awake to grant the wish, after he does awake, we can wish to kill Damion and make us big again!” Indeed, Damion fell for it, and as he violently shook Mo awake Deanna yelled “I wish to kill Damion and make us big again! After that, we saw Damiani collapse to the ground and I can feel myself as I get bigger, we all cheered to have our original selves back again. I realized that we still did not have our powers, and we soon remembered that our vengeful science teacher was to blame for this, and we vowed to get him back. Mo suddenly said, '' this is wonderful, you guys are back, and we have time for gym”! To our dismay, we are doing something called super dodgeball because supposedly we are strong, and we should be able to hurl 15-pound balls. We each took turns firing, Deanna missed her shot and got knocked by Mo, Kylie barely missed, and finally, I hit Mo in the head. Just then, I felt power surging through my body again and I made all the balls float and hurled all of them to Mo, when my classmates saw this, everybody started bombarding Mo and soon enough, everyone was zooming around, or making water shields and such. Wish powers back, I think that dodgeball is much for fun. After school is almost over Mo said “too bad, I really wanted to go dancing, how about this, if you let me go to the party, I will give you one more wish, you know, since you wanted to save the world, also, I only grant the thing you say last in the wish. “Alright, said Victor, we wish to end all of humanity’s problems.” I suddenly felt a lot better, and Chris once again asked for a foresight. What he saw next haunted me. We came back shocked as he told us that Damion was alive, and he grew horns and both of his arms were flaming, and just as he was getting a good look, he vanished. “I realized that the wish was not granted because we did not say it first,” said Chris. I became a little worried because Damion very much resembled a devil, even so, I was confident of our capabilities and I looked on to our battle with Damion.

The next day, Liz called a meeting to let us discuss what we should do with Mr. Dimitri. We finally decided to lock in a way in a magical prison. Just as Liz started talking again, Mrs. Bell told us it was time for class. I rushed to the classroom to see a police officer with a box filled with, Drugs? “Today class, I will be teaching you all about drugs,” said the officer, “now, can anyone guess what the most dangerous drug is”? We all started raising our hands but although we brought up the most dangerous drugs, we can think of the answer that triggered us. “The answer is vaping, if you drink it and you get addicted, you might as well be on your grave”. He kept talking about drugs and meanwhile I was secretly playing with my pencils using my telekinesis powers. When our drug class ended, we got nervous, it was Friday, and we still did not know if the classroom was booby-trapped. As we waited, 2 minutes passed, then 5, after 10 minutes, Mo said “well we can go home now”! Just as he finished, an old man appeared. “I am hired to be your substitute teacher today; we are going to be making some slime”! As we started

mixing the ingredients, we secretly chatted about his old science teacher, after we finished, he said “well, we should leave it here to dry for the night”. As we walked out Liz asked, “who hired you?” “You secretary of course” said the teacher and he slowly walked out. “You guys go on, I'm going to check with my secretary, I think it might be a trap,” said Liz. We all nodded and headed for lunch. Finally, the moment I was waiting for, the Dance! As the deejay was talking, we got ready to dance. The theme was under the sea, so we started to dance to the beat. Just as we started dancing, the slime that we made from science class popped out of nowhere and engulfed the deejay. In horror, we saw him disintegrate. “Can’t we just have one normal school day,” cried Mo. We quickly turned our watches into weapons and armor to prepare for the upcoming fight. Chris charged into the slime monsters, and we closed our eyes when we saw that his armor almost disintegrated, Chris then tried seeing the future to no avail. Deanna, Kylie, and I started using powers to distract the monster while Victor jumped to the ceiling, just as I was swinging my floating sword at the monster, a kid appeared behind us. “I will make you proud father”! Said Damion, “My name is Damion Brown”! “Stupid science teacher” cursed Bingyin, “I will save the teachers, as soon as I teleport them out of here, I will also check on Liz”, yelled Catherine. I put a thumb up but did not say anything because I was slicing the slime monster. Damion laughed maniacally and hurled fireballs at us and Deanna tried hitting it back with water, “You cannot stop me” laughed Damion as he hurled yet another giant fireball at us. “Flood the building,” said Chris. “Well, I can help with that,” said Mo, when we turned, we saw that he was still dancing to the beat, and with a snap of his fingers, a life vest appeared on us and the whole building flooded. For the first time, I saw that Damion was scared, he lifted his hand and held up an orb with a giant eyeball in it, Deanna tried attacking it, a stream of water pushed it, making it spin, however, it shot a laser at Deanna, and with a BAM, she went unconscious. Damion started rubbing and saying something and we saw him slowly dissolve in the water. I also noticed that the building was falling apart due to the red circle and the ceiling of the building collapsed on us. Darkness, all I could see was darkness, but then, my head popped up in the water, around me, my classmates also popped up, looking a bit bewildered. Suddenly, Deanna! We forgot all about her during the battle. Catherine swam to her and a warm beam of light shot into her body. We waited in the chill water and we all laughed when Deanna’s eyes shot open. I laughed harder when I realized that it was all over, the battles, being tiny, creepy teachers that were all over. We saw Mo sighing, “well it was nice being here for 4 days,” said No. Then, behind him emerged Liz without any burn marks or scratch marks. “You can stay at this school, and nobody can stop it because I am the principal'' Liz. Mo looked happy and for the rest of the day, we were set early to get some sleep.

Epilogue.

It had been months since that battle, everything seems unreal to me now, even though all this time, I still could not believe how much I went through during only 4 days. The only thing that is keeping me from believing it was a dream is my classmates and my powers, the destroyed gym, and the fact that Liz is still the principal. Every day, I would still go to science class with the

suspicion of a trap, but our new science teacher is for once, quite nice. We became a legend in the school but other than that, I like to look at myself as an average elementary school student, not some kind of superhero that saved the day. My parents did not know all this because the school did not want to worry them, but I am thinking about telling them someday when I am ready. Anyway, after I went through all that, I look at it now as a life experience, and made me look forward to the future, and what is in store for me as I advance into my life.

Deanna I am never going to another school dance. Ever. And honestly, ever since we met Damion in the forest, things have gone from abnormal, to WEIRD LVL 2000. Liz calls an emergency meeting and again, we have to go down to the gym. I didn’t really pay attention but I saw Mr Dmitri being led away to an…. asylum? I think it was, but I didn’t pay attention so I have no clue for sure. Then Ms Bell points towards the door and I almost have a heart attack. THERE’S A FREAKING POLICE OFFICER STANDING THERE. The officer clears his throat, “Um, I believe we need to be in Room 112 which is your homeroom.” The officer leaves and Ms Bell leads us all, including Liz, back to Homeroom. Ms Bell takes attendance and she leaves which means we’re stuck with Mr Officer. He has a giant metal case, but I’m too stressed to worry about that. Don’t arrest us if you’re here to arrest us. Why are you here. The frick. Who hired you? Who are you? What are you? Please tell me you’re not Damion. The officer says, “I’m here to talk to you about drugs.” Drugs!? Why? “Are you guys on...drugs?” Mo asks. “No,” Liz says. “But the science teacher made us breath smoke or something.” Then Mo says, “Do you think he’s here to sell drugs?” “What? No!” someone says. Then the officer started talking about things and before I knew it, I was sleeping. When I woke up Liz was asking, “WHO HIRED THIS GUY!?” And Ms Bell said, “Um the principal. You replaced.” WHAT!? “How much… Did it cost?” Liz asks. “Um, $3000.” “WHAT!?” “Yeah um, we hired that guy instead of buying a new piano for the music room.” “WHAT!?” “Yeah but now hurry! It’s science!” Since, well yesterday, I’ve become pretty paranoid about Science Class. So today, I wore a gas mask and some protective gear in case we uh, get sucked into another volcano. We get there and we just sit. Mr Dmitri’s been sent to the asylum so we don’t expect anyone to show up. After five minutes, Mo says, “You know, if no teacher shows up for 10 minutes you can just go home, right?” At 9 minutes and 54 seconds in the door opens and a tiny old man walks in and says, “Hello? Is this the science classroom?” He pushes the door close and Liz says, “Um, if you don’t mind can you leave the door open? The last time a teacher closed the door we uh, let’s just say… something very interesting happened.” The tiny old man opens the door again. “Welcome, my name is Dr Brown. I spent several years working on the nuclear thing next door.” He says something about ASMR and then says, “Today, I’ll be teaching you how to make slime.”

Well firstly, slime’s kind of lame. But compared to getting sucked into a volcano and almost dying, I’d take making slime anyday. “You’ll be combining cornstarch and water together,” Dr Brown says. “Wait,” I say. “Cornstarch and water don’t make slime. It makes oobleck!” “What’s oobleck?” someone asks. “It’s like a solid that’s a liquid,” I say. “When you hit it really fast it’s like a rock, but if you relax it becomes a liquid.” “Aren’t you smart,” Dr Brown says. My slime is a stormy dark blue, like the ocean on it’s most dangerous days. When the class ends, Dr Brown walks out and we head to lunch. After lunch we head down to the gym. There are large inflatable balloons that look like fish and are held down by little gift bag things. There’s a giant starfish costume. When I take a closer look it’s Ms Blatan, who’s handing out fruit punch. Mr Suzuki is sitting near the back, asleep. Ms Bell is collecting invitations that we got a couple weeks ago. “I don’t have an invitation!” Mo says, but he snaps his fingers and the invitation appears in his hand. After we get in, Mo starts stretching and says, “COME ON GUYS! I’M READY FOR THE DANCE!” “Welcome to the dance,” DJ Jazzy Hans says. Then he starts talking about the importance of music and starts to play the Hamster Dance 2.0 “Wow,” Ms Bell says, “He’s so good.” Meanwhile, I call Liz because for some reason she’s not here. I can’t really see anything but I can hear: “His son actually goes to this school,” the secretary’s voice says. “What’s his name?” Liz asks and I have a suspicion that I’m not going to like the answer. “Damion Brown.” I KNEW IT, I KNEW IT! Our class rushes out the door except there’s um, a huge… turquoise blob blocking the way. It splatters all over the ground and DJ Jazzy Hans is like, “OH YES! NEW EFFECTS!” He doesn’t notice the oobleck creeping up behind him. It covers him then turns back into a liquid. DJ Jazzy Hans is gone. And all that’s left is a pair of sunglasses. I don’t want to work with magic water against oobleck. I’m afraid it’ll make it stronger.I will the Apple Watch into a sword. I cleave through one with the sword. The oobleck splatters everywhere from the electricity. But the oobleck just splits in two and now there are two turquoise blobs of oobleck. Slime flies towards Ms Bell and in a moment of desperation, I make a recurve wall of water, blocking the path of the oobleck and Ms Bell. The oobleck disperses and flies everywhere. I keep expecting it to reform, but it doesn’t. Now I know water works against it so I blast water at it. I will the sword back into an apple watch and call Liz. “GIANT SLIME! ATTACKING THE GYM! HELP!” As I’m blasting water at this thing, I see Chris dive through the slime but he falls out the other side and his skin is kind of smoking. I see oobleck squished against the wall with an invisible force and I know Kylie must be working some magic of some sort. The slime in front of me dissipates and I run off to help the others. We’re blasting magic at it so much, that it just explodes, leaving cornstarch and water all over the place. Liz is somehow still on the call and I

hear the secretary saying, “Mr Brown got fired for using radiation to make things move and seem to have a mind of their own.” Of course. Mr Brown used some nuclear voodoo magic to make the oobleck come to life! Maybe...maybe that’s why we got attacked by earth monsters, though that doesn’t explain why they looked like turtles and stuff. We start cleaning the place up. I will some water out the window so we don’t die, but then I hear a crunching sound. It sounds like it’s coming from everywhere. Then a boy with long dark hair appears and there are two horns at the top of his head. Damion. “I’M GOING TO MAKE YOU PROUD FATHER!” Damion yells and he starts launching fireballs. “Mo! Help!” I yell and suddenly everyone’s wearing a life jacket. “Get the teachers out of here!” Mo says. The teachers leave and now it’s just a couple grade sixes against a flaming anime emo kid again. The apple watch turns into a force field shield thing and starts deflecting fireballs. The fireballs aren’t killing Damion, but at least they aren’t killing me either. Somehow, I get teleported to Liz who is… on fire. I put her out with water and somehow teleport back. I was starting to regret putting that water out the window. Then I have a crazy idea. I sense around for any type of liquid: Punch, water, hot chocolate, and I will it back into the room. Mo raises the water and it reaches the roof. I’M CLAUSTROPHOBIC. IN ONE WEEK, I MET A GIANT SPIDER AND AM CURRENTLY DROWNING. WHO MADE THIS!? Damion’s somehow floating but his flaming hand’s extinguished. He has a crystal ball in his hand that has an eye on it. Somehow I knew that that thing = big no no. So I try to use the water to knock it out of Damion’s hand. It works - except that the crystal ball comes towards me and shoots a beam of light that knocks the rest of the air out of me and I stop moving. I just… float around.I’m conscious, yes, but as far as I’m concerned, I’m just waiting to die. Then my vision gets blurry, but I’m pretty sure I saw Damion explode like the oobleck after a blast of light hits him. Then I go blank. Apparently, when the life jackets brought us to the top, I was lying face down. So Chris swam over and turned me back around then Catherine used some random weird white light thing and I became conscious again… Yay! We go to the back door and Liv looks at the damage done to her school. “Welp. The important thing,” Mo says. “Is that nobody important got killed. Thanks guys, not just for an awesome dance and stuff, but thanks for finally, finally making a good wish. Anyways, I’ll see you guys later.” I was still in shock. First, I almost die from a death ray, then that death ray kills Damion, and now Mo’s leaving. Then Liz spoke up. “Wait! Mo! How would you feel if you stayed at this school?” “You know what? I actually really like that idea! Yeah, I’ll stay!” Mo says. “Ms Bell! I’M NOT FROM AUSTRALIA!”

“Um, yeah,” Ms Bell said. “I kind of figured that out.” “Oh,” Mo says, “Well it was stressful carrying that lie around so I thought I’d just let that lie go.” And with that, I...hope that I don’t die soon because Damion came back to life again or something. Life lessons: If you meet a genie, make sure it doesn’t come with the price of a demon kid. If you ever become really tiny, don’t meet a spider. Spiders get defeated with plastic monkeys. Don’t go to a school dance. And most importantly, DON’T MEET FLAMING

After the events in the story, Deanna stayed at the school until she graduated, then became the secretary of Grand Mountain Academy. Also, ever since getting attacked by giant slimes, she never touched or made slime again out of paranoia and has also never attended a science class without a gas mask. She never met Damion again (thank god), and Mr Brown was fired from the school even though he was never really hired in the first place. After the “flood” of the dance, she spent some money to repair the school and lived happily ever after. Kind of.

Victor - Class 5 - The School Dance

When we knew about Demon-Damion, Liz immediately called a meeting that we were poisoned by the drugs and we need to know who and how they do it as well as Damion. The meeting was not the longest because we were in a hurry to our next class about an officer teaching us about drugs. We arrived to see the officer with a lot of boxes and he explained to us the dangerousness of drugs and which are the absolute most dangerous of them all. After a lot of guessing and wrong answers he tells us that vaping is the most dangerous because you get easily addict
