After homeroom, Sandi, Jean, Quinn, Stacy and Tiffany had history. Sandi and Jean met Quinn, Stacy and Tiffany.
 
“There you are, Sandi!” Quinn said as she approached the history classroom. “Who is this?” she asked, referring to Jean.
 
“This is Jean Jenner. She is on exchange from England and is staying with my family,” Sandi said.
 
“That is so cool!” Stacy said.
 
“Yeaaah. Very cooool,” Tiffany said.
 
“You didn’t say anything about this,” Quinn said.
 
“It was, like, a surprise!” Sandi said. She then noticed Mr DeMartino approaching.
 
“Where is the rest of the class?” he asked.
 
“I don’t know, but maybe, like, their homerooms are on the other side of the school!” Sandi said.
 
“Stupid timetable changes!” Mr Anthony DeMartino said as he opened the door to the classroom.
 
 
10 minutes later Ms Li was going through paperwork when she noticed the addition of Jean Jenner as a new exchange student. She called her secretary.
 
“Nadine! Why was I not informed of the arrival of a new exchange student to my school!” she said.
 
Nadine Fenton looked over the paperwork. “She is enrolled starting today. The paperwork looks in order,” she said.
 
“Good! But still, a new student needs to report to the principal as soon as they arrive on the first day. No exceptions!” Li said.
 
“Very true,” Nadine said.
 
 
“Ms. Jean Jenner, please report to the Principal’s Office. Immediately!” came Ms Li’s voice over the intercom.
 
‘I knew that would happen,’ Jean thought. She quickly left the room before Sandi, or Mr DeMartino could say anything.
 
After Jean had left Sandi grabbed the emerald and said “I wish that Jean will know what to say to Ms Li.” The emerald glowed briefly and the wish granting noise came from it.
 
“Ms Griffin! Please refrain from playing with your gimmicky Jewellery in class!” Mr DeMartino shouted.
 
“Sorry,” Sandi said, not entirely sincerely.
 
 
Jean had turned a corner when Sandi had made her wish. The wish granting noise emanated around her. “You didn’t need to make that wish Sandi!” she muttered. Even so, she gained the extra knowledge about Ms Li’s personality. ‘That may be useful in future,’ she thought.
 
 
Ms Li looked up from the paperwork strewn on her desk as Jean entered her office. “Jean Jenner reporting as requested, Ms Li,” she said.
 
“Good!” Ms Li said. She picked up a piece of paper “It says here that you are billeted with the Griffins. Is that correct?”
 
“Yes it is,” Jean said.
 
“Why didn’t you report here as soon as you arrived at school?”
 
“I got carried away talking with Sandi, Ma’am.”
 
“I can believe that, your transgression was minor. But you still need to submit to a psychological test before returning to class,” Ms Li said. She pressed a button on the intercom. “Ms Manson, please report to the Principal’s Office!”
 
“Great, a psychological test!” Jean said.
 
“It is nothing to be worried about. And Welcome to Lawndale High,” Ms Li said, saying the school’s name in a reverential manner.
 
 
20 minutes later Jean was walking back to Mr DeMartino’s classroom. “Stupid Psychological test! It’s a good thing she didn’t think that I have low self-esteem!” she muttered. She was sure it would be time for the next class shortly after she got back. She decided to have some fun...
 
The security cameras in the west half of the school all failed! ‘That will have Ms Li in an uproar,’ Jean thought.
 
Jean arrived back at Mr DeMartino’s classroom 5 minutes before the end of the period.
 
 
After another period, it was recess.
 
Elias came up to Jean, where she sat near where Sandi and a large group of other girls, including the rest of the Fashion Club, were talking near the rear of the library.
 
“Can I talk with you away from the others?” he asked, with more than a hint of curiosity in his voice.
 
“Sure, absolutely,” she said. They walked away from the group of girls, towards the Home Economics/Music block.
 
“I have a hypothesis related to the fact that with the strange events that happened in the library this morning and the fact that all of the school’s computers can suddenly be controlled by voice,” Elias said.
 
“What is your hypothesis?” Jean asked. She was hoping that Elias was going where she was thinking he was going.
 
“That there is some kind of magic involved, almost certainly some kind of genie,” Elias said.
 
“I will tell you the truth, Elias. Although I am certain that Sandi will be angry,” Jean began. Elias looked concerned.
 
“I’ll tell you since you are curious,” Jean said, with a laugh. “There was magic in the school this morning with the computers changing. There is a genie in the school,” she hesitated. “And I am that genie.” She knew that Elias had to find out, regardless of how Sandi felt about the matter. She didn’t know what the repercussions would be if Elias didn’t find out about her within the next day.
 
Elias was then in thought. “Were you always a genie? Or did you become one somehow?” he asked.
 
“Good question. I will answer it. Approximately 2000 years ago, I was born as a normal human, and then one day soon after my 15th birthday I became a genie and I found myself in the Emerald,” Jean said.
 
“Is that all?” Elias asked.
 
“There is a more complex answer but that would take a lot longer to explain,” Jean said.
 
“Here is another question; how many people have had wishes granted by you?” Elias asked. He was still curious, though Jean’s answer to his earlier question had him trying to think about the repercussions of such an event.
 
“Sandi is the 2226th,” Jean said.
 
‘That is a large number,’ Elias thought. He asked something else though. “Are there any other genies that you are aware of?”
 
Jean answered that she had seen 6 others since the fall of the Roman Empire. Elias talked to her for a short while more before leaving to eat his recess by himself. However Sandi had overheard most of what had been said.
 
“Why did you tell him?” she asked, with anger in her voice.
 
“He asked if I was a genie and I had to tell him the truth,” Jean, who wanted to be honest with Elias for her own reasons, said.
 
“Do not tell anyone else!” Sandi fumed. ‘Elias may now want Jean for himself!’ she thought.
 
However someone else had overheard Elias and Jean, Torii Jericho. “What were Elias and Jean talking about?” Torii asked.
 
“None of your business!” Sandi said.
 
“There is a genie in the school,” Jean said. She was thinking that there was a way around Sandi’s unspoken wish that she not be identified as the genie if someone asked about what was happening.
 
“There may be, like, a genie in the school, but Jean is not it!” Sandi said. ‘Of course Jean would say that there is a genie. She has been very mischievous this morning,’ she thought.
 
Torii was in thought for a second. “Sandi, I am going to look for this genie. Come on Brooke, we’ll look for it,” she said.
 
Brooke Peters followed Torii away from the group.
 
 
After Torii and Brooke had gone, Ted approached Elias from the direction of the Science block.
 
“I haven’t found the genie yet, Elias, but I will keep looking,” he said. Ted was taking the events in stride; he had heard rumours of strange events in history that could have been caused by rather unusual forces.
 
“I’ve found her, Ted,” Elias said, having decided to fill Ted in on what he had discovered regarding the genie.
 
“Who is it?” Ted asked, almost whispering.
 
“Jean, whom was with STUPID Sandi in the library earlier,” Elias said, not quite so quietly. Indeed, Sandi overheard! She was quite annoyed with Elias. She came stomping over and said; “You are going to regret this, Elias!”
 
Jean came over “Calm down, Sandi. Elias, Ted, please do not inform anyone else about my nature. They are going to find out soon enough,” she said.
 
“What do you mean, Jean?” Sandi asked, fuming, but trying to keep her voice down.
 
“Events are going to get out of control, regardless of what you do, Sandi. That is what always happens,” Jean said.
 
“Whatever!” Sandi said, dismissing Jean’s comment.
 
“I am going to tell Mrs Danielson. But not anyone else,” Ted said. “See you, Elias, Jean and Sandi,” he then left going into one of the buildings.
 
“I hope no one else has overheard,” Sandi said.
 
“I wouldn’t count on it,” Elias said.
 
“I heard that!” Sandi said.
 
“Tisk, Tisk, Sandi. You haven’t counted on my mischievousness. I don’t need to grant a wish to do magic!” Jean said.
 
“What!” Sandi said.
 
“For instance, I can do, this!” Jean blinked and Sandi started to float up into the air!
