“Stop right there!”
Jeff knew that voice before even turning around. It was the school gym teacher, Thomas Smith. Mr. Smith was a bit older than Mr. Huff, well before his transformation. While he once was a high school football captain, the years hadn’t been the kindest to him as he had packed on some pounds.
“What are you doing in the halls after class? This isn’t some playground you can just roam around!”
“Er. I was just getting my stuff from my locker so we could go home” a panicked Jeff said
“What are you still even doing here? It’s Friday and spring break has officially begun now that class is over.”
Before Jeff could come up with a lie, Ryan chimed in.
“Well, we had to get some clothes from the lost and found because the Chronivac didn’t turn me into a growned up like I was hoping it would.”
“Did you say the Chronivac?”
“No he’s just got such a big imagination”
“It’s real, but it didn’t seem to work on me. Maybe it could work on you!”
“Do really have the Chronivac app? Now don’t lie to me Jeffrey”
“Yea, sir.”
“Come with me now”
Mr. Smith led them back to his office without saying a word on the way. As he closed the door, Jeff was overwhelmed with anxiety of what type of trouble he was about to end up in. That was until Mr. Smith surprised Jeff in the most unexpected of ways.
“Jeffrey, I want you to use the app on me.”
