Josh sat down in his class seat. He was in his least favorite class: Geography. He didn’t know why, but the subject just gave him a headache.
It was the day after Christmas break and the class room was buzzing with after Christmas excitement.
“I got a new skateboard!”
“That’s lame! I got myself one of those hover boards!”
“Those aren’t hover boards, they’re just electronic skateboards on steroids.”
“Well what did you get?”
“...books...”
“Hahaha!” The rich kid started talking. “My parents have me ten Rolex watches, fifty new movies, three televisions, three ponies and one weird box they said ‘has the power to bend existence as we know it!’”
Josh sighed as he remembered what he was given for Christmas. A stupid, gosh darn...
“The power to bend existence, huh?”
It was Halie. Halie was sort of the class debator, if you catch my drift. She always had smart ideas that she wasn’t afraid to talk about. That’s what Josh admired about her, that’s when her spark was an almighty flame, pulling in the minds and hearts of the listeners. Josh loved that.
He noticed that Halie was holding a box of oak, with a single red button on the top.
“This is a nice box, I have to admit.” Halie examined it closely. “Just one question. What exactly is it about this box that can bend existence?”
The rich boy, Clary, responded. “No idea. Just know it was expensive.”
“Have you tried pressing the button yet?” Halie was getting curious.
“Of course not! I don’t trust my parents that much. For all I know, that things a bomb.” Clary defended.
“Well, you really shouldn’t have given this to me then. You know how I am about this kind of stuff!” Halie pointed her finger at the button.
Clary yelled at her. “NO! We have no...”
Just then, the class door closed as Mr. C walked into the room and noticed the small crowd around Halie and Clary.
“Class, I need you all to sit down this insta....”
Halie pushed the button.
It’s all up to you now. Choose who will stay, and choose who will go. That is the point of this website, is it not?
