Max, the time stopper
Max was disappointed, but more than that his teacher was disappointed. Max hated to be a disappointment to anybody. He had worked so hard on his math exam, just to fail. He was never naturally good at math. And yet, standing here at the teachers desk looking at that big D- on his Math exam made him want to cry. He had super human powers, but having superpowers doesn’t help math. A small tear rolled down his right cheek. He couldn’t look at his teacher; to face her and see the disappointment in her eyes. It was all just too much for him too take. Slowly he turned his head and went back to his desk. He sat down.
He could stop time. Yes, that was his superpower. Max looked at his watch. Almost 30 minutes was left till lunch. He just needed a break from all this noise. He focused......then.....dead silence. He looked around himself. Every thing was frozen. He stood up and grabbed a paper glider hanging frozen, in time. He smirked and threw it at the class bully. As soon as it had left his hand it stopped. That was normal, because time didn’t exist right now and you need time to fly a paper glider. After that bit of comical relief he decided that he would do his very best on the next math test. He pulled out a pen and a paper and started to right sums. He even went so far as to borrow the teachers book; not to cheat or anything, but just to study what was coming up the next math test.
For hours he studied. Finally he was getting tired of it all so he unstopped time. Smack!!!!
The paper glider hit the class bully right in the nose. Every one laughed, poor guy.
The next day Max did the same thing. In fact, for the next 5 weeks he did the same thing every math period. Test day finally came Around. Lunch was right before 5 period, aka math Class. After lunch he went to the math room. His teacher wore a worried expression. He was just sitting down when his teacher called him over to her desk.
"You know that if you fail this test, you might have to repeat 5 grade", she said, looking him strait in the eye.
"Yes I know, Ms. GoldWater" he said," but I feel very confident".
There was a short pause and then his teacher smiled.
"Well I wish you good luck then", said she, as she handed him his test.
Max sat down, and when his teacher gave the word he started.
He finished his test then waited for every one else to finish. Then he turned it in.
He he could not sleep that night. He kept wondering what grade he got. Finnally day came. During 5th period math his teacher called him to the front. Max just smiled as he saw the big green A+ on his paper.
