As you may not know, one small action can lead to one big event and it is all because of the butterfly effect. If you choose another way to go about the situation the results will vary...

One thing that Lena knew was that nobody would ever live the way she did or experience life through her eyes. She had a gift that no one else did. She could control time, change things in about 5 seconds. If only she knew why this had happened to her......

Lena Arndt was a regular student at Grantown Highschool in the state of New Jersey. Everything seemed to be going normal until she got in trouble for talking during an "important" lesson . Her history teacher, Mr. Lawry sent her to the principal's office just for asking a question. "Really, your going to send me to the principal's office just for asking a question about THIS lesson?", Lena said as she walked out of the classroom.

When she finally reached the dull room of her principal Mrs. Moses, she sat on one of the chairs and said, " I really shouldn't even be here, I mean all I did was ask a question."

I know, I know. Mr. Lawry can get out of hand sometimes but you have to learn to deal with it. I can say for my self that he is one of the most annoy-

Before Lena could even process it, Mrs. Moses had just gotten shot through the window behind her and the bullet went straight through her back.

"NOO!!!", Lena screamed as the principal fell to the ground. She put her hand up as if to reach her hand, and Click! She was back in class listening to the lesson no one cared about. She thought, 'this can't be real I already heard this. Okay if I ask the same question I did earlier and I get sent to the principal's office, I know this is real.'

Lena ask the question once more and like before she was sent to the principal's office.

She thought, 'okay I have to hurry so maybe I can save her. She waited until Mrs. Moses said her same words as before and then Lena shouted, "Duck Mrs. Moses!!" Both of them bent down and dodged the bullet that shot through the window. Lena had just saved her principal.

After that, school was let out early and had off the rest of the week. That was the day Lena realized she had saved somebody and changed the course of time.
