Sandi saw what was happening. “I wish I was, like, somewhere else in the school!” she said, rapidly. Jean blinked, and Sandi vanished.
“That was not a good idea, Brook Peterson! If you had touched Sandi, you would have gotten detention!” Ms Barch said.
“Sorry, Ms Barch,” Brooke said.
“You should apologise to Sandi, not me,” Ms Barch said.
Then the end of recess bell rang. Everyone went to class.
In the rush to get to class no one noticed two squirrels jump from a tree in the quad onto the Industrial Arts Block. The two squirrels then left the school to the west.
Sandi had appeared underwater in the school’s swimming pool. She came up for air, spluttering. She still had the emerald, although Jean was nowhere to be seen. She was quite angry at being dunked when all she wanted was to escape Brooke’s attempt to fight her for the emerald. Then the bell rang. ‘Great! I’ll be late to class,’ she thought. She grabbed the emerald. “I wish I was in class,” she said.
Sandi and all the water vanished from the pool...
5 minutes later, Mr Timothy O’Neill’s Sophomore Language Arts Class was interrupted...
“Oh, dear, where is Sandi?” Mr O’Neill asks. He was absolutely clueless about what had been happening in the previous half hour.
“No idea, Mr O’Neill,” Quinn said. Then the whole room was filled with water, as Sandi and the water appeared in a distorted version of the normal wish granting noise.
Sandi noticed that the door of the classroom was shut. She attempted to wish the water away, but all that came out of her mouth were bubbles. ‘Great! I need to be out of water to speak a wish!’ she thought, and then wondered about how to get out of the situation before everyone drowned. She then saw Jean, who appeared to be enjoying herself in the water filled classroom. ‘Ah, now everyone will almost drown!’ Sandi thought.
She then noticed Jamie White and Jeffy Brown; two of those football players who usually attended to Quinn’s every whim, attempting to open two of the windows. ‘That is one way to avoid drowning. She concentrated on the windows. The telekinetic aspects of her powers assisted Jamie and Jeffy’s efforts. The windows then opened.
The water rushed out of the classroom. Sandi noticed that 5 of the students including Joey Green and Tiffany were swept out. ‘It is a good thing that this classroom is on the ground floor,’ she thought. Seconds later the water level was down to the level of the bottom of the windows.
“Sandi!” Quinn yelled.
Tiffany Blum-Deckler was preparing herself for the arduous Language Arts lesson ahead when she suddenly realised that the classroom was full of water. ‘Why is all this strange stuff happening today,’ she thought, at a pace quicker than that of her speech. She noticed that Sandi was in her seat, which had been vacant a few moments before. ‘And why is Sandi appearing out of thin air/water, water/air?’ she thought again. Sandi was glaring at her Exchange Student housemate, Jean.
‘Jean does have something to do with what happened at recess,’ she thought, as she was attempting to hold her breath. She saw Jamie and Jeffy, who usually did stuff for Quinn, attempting to open the windows. They then opened them. ‘Oh no!’ she thought as she started going out of the window. ‘I should not have stood up!’
Tiffany roused herself. She was shivering, lying on the ground in a puddle outside of the Language Arts classroom. She barely heard Quinn yell at Sandi.
“Are you ok, Tiffany?” It was Joey Green.
“I’m Freeeezing, and my hair is ruuuined,” she said. She wasn’t actually sure that her hair was ruined, but that usually happened if she got dunked. She was also surprised that Joey actually gave her any concern, as he usually hung around Quinn with Jamie and Jeffy, competing with them for her attention. Her dates usually didn’t go well, because they usually got bored of her slow monotone. She sat up. ‘As opposed to the not-so-monotone ‘brainy’ voice of Quinn’s sister,’ she thought. Joey then leapt back into the classroom.
She stood up and observed what happened next through the window.
Joey Green had opened his book of David Copperfield, when suddenly the room filled with water. ‘What the heck?’ he thought as he stood up. He looked towards Quinn. She seemed to be handling herself, indeed she seemed to be glaring at Sandi. ‘She wasn’t there before. Indeed I heard Quinn tell Mr O’Neill that she didn’t have any idea where Sandi was.’ He thought. He didn’t have much time to ponder this before he was washed out of the classroom...
Next thing he knew he was lying on the ground. He got up and saw Tiffany lying in a puddle.
“Are you ok, Tiffany?” he asked.
“I’m Freeeezing, and my hair is ruuuined,” Tiffany said. ‘At least that is all she is worried about,’ he thought. He waited for a little while and then she sat up. He then thought of Quinn and leapt back into the classroom, causing a splash.
Jeffy Brown was looking over at Quinn when the water appeared. ‘This is not good!’ he thought. He noticed that the water was not going down. He swam over to the closest window. He tried to open it, without success. ‘Come on!’ he thought. He gave it more tries and it eventually opened. 10 seconds later the water was down to the level of the bottom of the windows.
“Sandi!” Quinn yelled.
“Oh, dear!” Mr O’Neil said, trying to make sense of what had just happened.
‘It is not my fault, Quinn. It is Jean’s!” Sandi said.
“What do you mean?” Mr O’Neill asked.
“I am a mischievous Genie,” Jean said.
‘That certainly explains this happening and those rumours at recess,’ Jeffy thought as he and Elias went over to the door to open it.
“But Genie’s don’t exist,” Mr O’Neill said.
“But, how would you explain what just happened?” Stacy asked.
“I don’t have an explanation,” Mr O’Neill said.
The door wouldn’t budge. “Great, the pressure has the door locked!” Elias said. ‘So the reason why we want to open the door is the same reason we can’t open it?’ Jeffy thought.
‘And again, my powers save the day,’ Sandi thought. She then applied barely sufficient pressure on the other side of the door to allow it to open. Then the rest of the water cascaded out of the classroom and into the corridor outside, taking with it some chairs and many very soggy books.
‘I never have used my powers so much in one day,’ she thought, thankful that her brothers did not also inherit powers from their mother.
“Given what has just happened, class is dismissed!” Mr O’Neill said.
“Great!” Elias said.
“Our outfits are ruined, what are we supposed to do for the next forty minutes?” Quinn asked.
‘That is a good observation, Quinn.’ Jeffy thought. He looked out of the door, both ways. The corridor was waterlogged. “And the corridor outside is all wet, we’d all slip!” he said.
In Ms Li’s office, Ms Li changed a camera view and saw the pool empty. “What!” she said. ‘Nobody can empty that pool without my knowledge!’ she thought. She then expertly changed the output from that camera to a different tape and then rewound the tape. She didn’t see Sandi in the pool in the rewind, the water suddenly reappeared. She then presses play. There was a minute of nothing and then Sandi appeared in the pool.
“Ms Griffin! But how?” Ms Li asked herself. She checked the timestamps as she rewound and reviewed Sandi appearing. She saw that there is no time skip. ‘This is definitely related to the rumoured events of recess and the computers suddenly acting up,’ she thought. She continued watching, and then sees Sandi and the water disappear. “Something is definitely happening. Something is causing havoc in my school! I want to know what is going on!” she said.
Back in Mr O’Neill’s classroom they were still blaming Sandi.
“Like, Quiet, all of you! Let me explain,” Sandi said.
“This had better be good, Sandi,” Quinn said, shivering.
“You were there when I wished to be elsewhere in the school,” Sandi stated.
“Yes!” Quinn said.
“I waaas theeere,” Tiffany said from where she was leaning against the window from outside.
“Right, Brooke was going to fight me for the emerald, so I wished to be elsewhere in the school, but then I appeared in the pool!” Sandi said.
“Bad idea, Jean!” Elias said.
“Gee, Elias, you like interrupting me, don’t you?” Sandi asked.
“Go on!” Elias said, wanting Sandi to explain what happened next. ‘Why did I ever date her? Quinn is a lot nicer,’ he thought.
“I knew I was going to be late to class, so I wished to be in class. The rest is obvious,” Sandi said.
Mr O’Neill was blubbering in the background. “Why did my class have to be the one interrupted by a mischievous genie?” he was saying.
“Well, this period is a bust,” Elias said.
“But now we’re soaked! Our outfits and classwork are ruined, and the corridor outside is now very slippery!” Quinn said.
“Quinn is right,” Stacy said.
“Right!” Sandi said, grabbing the emerald. She then wished that the water lying on the floor of the classroom and the corridors would go back into the pool.
Half of the water appeared back in the pool.
“The floor is now dry, but we are still wet!” Quinn said.
“Our outfits are ruined!” Stacy said, as miserable as Mr O’Neill.
“And our work is ruined also,” Elias said.
“I was getting to that!” Sandi said. She then wished that the people in the room and just outside the window would be dry, that their clothes and hair would be as if they hadn’t been wet and that the books, stationary, etc would also be dry. Jean also granted that wish.
The students then looked as they did when they had entered the classroom.
“The class is still a bust!” Elias said.
“Not much can be done about that, Elias. I am now, like going to continue my research from this morning. Come Jean,” Sandi said. She and Jean quickly left the classroom. Mr O’Neill was still blubbering, although Quinn was calming Stacy down. Elias helped Tiffany in through the window.
“What now?” Stacy asked Quinn.
“We will wait here until the period is finished. We need to figure out what to do about the situation with Sandi and Jean,” Quinn said.
“Good idea,” Elias said.
For the rest of the period, instead of Language Arts, the group of sophomores went through various scenarios involving Sandi and Jean. They liked none of them. They were still discussing as they went to their next classes.
Ms Li was still fuming later in the period, having not discovered the happening in the Language Arts classroom. Indeed she was mostly fretting about the failure of the cameras in the west half of the school. She had called in several electricians to look at the failures...
(She had taken notes on Sandi’s appearing and disappearing, but did not notice when half of the water had appeared back in the pool.)
Sandi and Jean arrived at the library without incident. Sandi picked up her earlier book from where she had left it and continued to read. When the period was over, she went to her next class...
The two squirrels that had observed the recess events arrived in an oak tree in the back yard of a two story red brick house on Glen Oaks Lane.
“You are early from your patrol! Report!” another squirrel said, in the Lawndale squirrel dialect.
“There was a non-normative event at the place that the Humans call Lawndale High School,” one of the squirrels said, giving a high pitched impression of Ms Li when saying ‘Lawndale High’.
“Non-normative?” the previous squirrel said.
Both squirrels described Sandi floating in the air and later disappearing. The other squirrel is in thought. “Thank you, I’ll inform the Emperor. Remain here and wait until the 2 junior humans return and then infiltrate the house,” he said.
“Yes, sir!” the 2 other squirrels said, saluting him. The senior squirrel then left.
Sandi saw what was happening. “I wish I was, like, somewhere else in the school!” she said, rapidly. Jean blinked, and Sandi vanished.
“That was not a good idea, Brook Peterson! If you had touched Sandi, you would have gotten detention!” Ms Barch said.
