3.

Once I get back to my room, I realise what actually happened.

            1. I purposefully hurt my best friend

            2. I punched an executive in the face

            3. I'm in huge trouble, because I punched an executive in the face

            4. I don't know what is with me, or if I'm in charge of this. Or what has been going on with time.

I can't think straight. What am I feeling?  It's getting me pissed. I can't dismiss this though. Like of course, I can actually get kicked out, and I have some type of internal crisis. But this is just so annoying!

1. Who would outright discriminate against us? Some of the administrators really treat us like sh!t, or at least only the older kids. I'm still so pissed.

2. Though then at the same time, I'm so confused? What is happening with me? Why am I the only one who remembers? I can do something— something confusing. Or I'm just in the middle of it all.

3. Is Liam okay? He got cut pretty bad, and I'm still not sure if that's my fault or not. I hope he's alright.

4. It's my birthday. Why does it have to happen on a day like this? This is officially the worst birthday ever.

5. I realise I have a pretty short temper. Maybe things wouldn't be this complicated, if I didn't get mad so easily. Ugh.

6. I don't like making lists, it seems.

And after all that thinking, it seems that I'm still so screwed. I've learned nothing, but I guess I do understand what I feel now. It's not excactly a huge, combined problem. They all are just individually different things, that intertwined.

I look back at the clock for the time. Oh right, my alarm is busted.

Wait.

I walk up, and look back on the outlet. It's unplugged. That's strange.

Hmm. This could be something I can try to figure out right now.

Wait, no! I want nothing to do with this phenomenon! It's scary and maybe if I don't mess with it. it'll be left alone—

But... at the same time, figuring this out can also help you. You can't go about being reckless. It's more safer this way. 

I need time to think about my worries! If I think now, then I can avoid being less worried later. I kind of deserve this. What was I thinking? 

Though at the same time, what were the council thinking?!

—Does that help? Worrying doesn't do any good! This is why we need to do this!

In the end, my curiosity got the better of me. It would be better to think logically, than to always be worrying about my punishment. 

I plugged back the alarm clock, and it was working fine. 10:30, it read.

Okay I have around twenty minutes, before I have to start walking to the office. So what do I know?

First, it's the alarm clock that ticks me off. I remember unplugging it, but the alarm continuing to ring. And it was plugged back in again, when I checked. Then, I unplug it again.

However when Liam barged to the room, there was a strange sensation before that. The alarm stopped as well. I was kind of distacted too to see that much of what happened.

The outlet unplugged too, when he went into my room.

Could it have been that time froze? Or that my alarm malfunctioned?

That can't be right. How about another variable? 

First, is it possible that I'm the one causing time to warp? I have no idea how it works, but it also could be that I'm the one caught up in all of it, and is able to witness it happen. 

However, the events corresponded with my intention. For example, time repeated and changed its outcome when I wanted (not sincerely) to make Liam get hurt. I'm kind of a bad person now if you think of it, to be honest. 

You were also the one to get him in the nurse, and this is the reason why you'll be getting into trouble. How could you do this? 

Wait! How would I know if this is my fault? What the heck?!

...Do the excutives know? 

NO! Wait what type of question is that? Focus back. Worrying doesn't help in a time like this—

But if the damage is already done, than what's the point? 

Oh shut up, I tell myself. I won't want to get too worried. 

Okay, back onto the topic—

Time also went in my favor, when it repeated itself for me to continually want to harm another.  In the instance of the council member, I continued to punch him in the face again and again. The scene would start from before I punched him, and it would continue to loop. There then came a frying pan that came out of nowhere, and hit his face. 

It seems that from everything else, that I can repeat certain scenes. And change the outcome? The environment becomes adapted to what different actions I preform, after I repeat it. Yet, it still doesn't entirely make sense. 

-time skip-

It's 10:50, and so I take off to the office dreading for the worst. I really don't want to go. I know I could deal with severe consequences, considering the fact that I was threatened to get kicked out.

What would I do then?

I've figured that if I am the one in control of what strange events happened, time started to act up after my emotions got out of hand. It wouldn't explain it entirely, but I guess it's that much of what I can think of now.

I make it to the office, and then sit on the outside bench. 11:00, the wall clock stares. 

"Mr. Laurier, come in!"
