( Back in 2012 )
" Wow, suspended for 1 week . Pretty much bored here Mom! " I said To mom. " You have to get this punishment! Making stories to the school principal? That's not a good one Jack! " mom replied angrily. " But Mom.." "No! I don't want to hear your non-sense again. Go to your room and study some books there! " Mom raged.
*Sigh*
No one understood me, James' mother was very strict with him. So as soon as she got to know that he got suspended, she grounded him in his room. Well my mom will be angry for the first day and cool down later I guess. I felt bored so I switched on my TV and saw ' Ben 10 Ultimate Alien ' . What I seemed to be watching was the last episode of the series. Ben gets this crazy new omnimatrix . That reminded me of Ben 10 Omniverse!! There Is one episode where Ben goes to his younger body and his younger counterpart goes in the Elder Ben's body. So, I started thinking.
If only there was an way to like, message the smaller guy.
Bingo!
I could search things that were in this room or in this house that are still there in my present house! Now, I need to focus. I took my school photo from 3rd grade. I still had it in my present house! I quickly took my pencil and wrote a small message something like this :
' Jack, I am Jack. Just the actual Jack living in 2016. But now, some dweeb has reversed our bodies. Switched our places I rather say. So now, Its only me that can communicate. You can't as the future won't affect the past. Just, don't be kiddish and ask Dan to help you. He is a story writer. He also is good with time and Physics. No one is joking Jack, there is something wrong. Something wrong! '
I took the photograph and threw the pencil on my bed. I kept the photograph where it exactly was before I took it.

( 2016 ) ( Young Jack's POV )
I reached home after school. It was a very tough day, I and James struggled to study . The Maths teacher Mr.Potts asked us to solve so many tough questions! He asked me what 2 Square was . I didn't even know what a square was . Not talking about the shape, talking about the weird thing on the top right of a number written as 2.
I unpacked my Bag to see what books I get in the future. But now, I don't even know whether this will be my future. It might become my present. I started to cry, I wanted to see my parents in 2012. No one understands any one here. ;(
When I was searching for the books a photograph of my 3rd grade class was there. I smiled, I missed my friends in the past. When I turned the picture, to my surprise there was a whole thing written by me. The same hand writing! I could see it!
It read something I felt was peculiar. It was from Jack, the older version of me! He had written something like this :
' Jack, I am Jack. Just the actual Jack living in 2016. But now, some dweeb has reversed our bodies. Switched our places I rather say. So now, Its only me that can communicate. You can't as the future won't affect the past. Just, don't be kiddish and ask Dan to help you. He is a story writer. He also is good with time and Physics. No one is joking Jack, there is something wrong. Something wrong! '
WOAH! This whole thing is true ! I am not dreaming I guess, a little to much for a 4th Grader. I guess the older version of me is a dweeb for saying me not to be kiddish. I have to complain to his mom about this. I mean my Mom. Wow Time confuses me. Doesn't it confuse everyone? Weird isn't it? Time has been made so beautifully. Time Travel can be good and bad at the same time. If you have a Time Machine and you travel back in time or to the future. You can consider having all the time in the world! But when you are somehow forced into going to the future or past you can say you just got... Um, I guess... Timed Out!
