Newton's Geek

Flash Back

I am a student at "Newton's Academy For Gifted Children". The location of this academy is classified. If I gave you the location of such a place, your death would be immediate and painless. But I can tell you a bit about myself. As you already know my name is Eric Cwikwitty. I'm fifteen and 5' 3"; a few years ago I was in an accident. An accident that would change my life forever. This is what happened.

2018 9/3 11:30

I was at lunch when Jason, the school bully, came over to me.

"Hey dweeb, whatcha you doing." he said mockingly.

" Um, i'm calibrating what I like to call the "Super Taser.", I pointed to the small, somewhat boxy object in my hand. He look at me like I was an alien the size of an ant.

"Let me see it, nerd." he reached over and ripped it from my hands.

"Hay, give it back!" I said as I reached over and tried to pluck it from his grip.He lifted it higher than I could reach.

"What does this do?" he said gesturing to the round button on the device. I froze solid, and it seemed to me that time had stopped. In that instance I realized something. If he presses that button, it will cause a blast of electricity that will incapacitate everyone in a ten by ten foot dome, he could get expelled. Then it hit me, he could get expelled! Enlightened, I smiled and said, "oh that; yeah, I wouldn't press that if I were you." "But you're not me, are you." and with that he pressed the button. ZZZzz...FFFfffff. Wait, that should have worked. I went over and Jason shoved it into my hands" Well, that was lame." he said.

As I held it in my hands I remembered that I hadn't finished calibrating the energy control center. CRAPNUGETS! But it was too late; right then, a mass of energy surged into my body. Everything went black.

I awoke to a soft beeping. When I opened my eyes I was in a... classroom?

"Good morning Eric, my name is Mr. Shols."

"Wha... where am I, and what happened?" I said flustered. "You're in an academy for very special kids. As to what happened, you experienced a massive burst of energy, which caused you to go into something similar to a coma." He continued.

"How long?" I said as a wave of confusion and dismay hit me.

"For over two hundred years."

The world seemed to turn upside down and inside out in that moment, and I put a shaking hand on the bed to steady myself. It didn't work. How could it be that I had skipped my HOLE LIFE!!! Or did I have a whole life to live, but I'd have to live it while being, what, 215 years old? I didn't feel that old. Or was it that this man in front of me was bluffing. But for what reason would he do such a thing? I had no idea. I was just so tired.

"Well BLASPHEMY! Sorry Eric, but I have to leave. I've got an appointment with the principal about the classes you will be taking. See you later, make sure you get enough sleep before school tomorrow." Then he left. Just like that. He dropped that bomb on me and then just got up and LEFT!!! What type of school has random students laying around on hospital beds in classrooms who are waking up from comas! Maybe this was one of those one time things. Like that time I promised never to steal chocolate from the vending machines again. But one day I was just having an awful morning and couldn't help myself... Sorry mom. I'll never do that again. Because that is the sort of thing that makes you deserve comas! I think I'm going crazy... Crap, I knew this was going to happen, Apparently it runs in the family. CURSE YOU GRANDMA!!!

The next morning I sat up relaxed and refreshed. When I turned I saw to my eternal astonishment, that all of the medical equipment was floating in the air, and so was the clock. Each one in tiny cubes of electric, "energy". It was almost like, magic. No, this isn't possible! I must still be asleep from that shock. I gave myself a hard pinch, "Aw!" Nothing changed. What, i'm not asleep? A very explicit word escaped my mouth at that moment. "HOLY S**T!!!" As I said this the cubes formed the word I had just said. "What the?" now I was just, utterly confused. I heard the door start to open and all the cubes fell to the ground.

It was Mr. Shols, "Good morning Eric. I hope you slept well."

"Yes, quit well" I said hoping he wouldn't see the mix of terror and confusion on my face. He looked at me with concern. "Are you sure? You look like you've seen a ghost."

"Oh no, you just startled me." please buy it please buy it please buy it!

"Okay, well your classes start in twenty minutes, so make sure you're ready. I'll come by to show you around." And with that he stepped out.

The school was, extraordinary, and huge! The place looked like an ice castle. According to Mr. Shols it was founded in 2042 by Edward Newton. The students were even more extraordinary. I saw one that was made out of rock. Yes, that's right, a child, made of stone! The courses were also strange. Some of the courses were, water breathing 101, or earth sculpting. I was to be taking robotics for beginners. "Is this like a school for superheroes?"

"I guess you could say that." We arrived at my first class; history. "Wait, I have to take history?!"

I thought I was going to take classes that were way cooler than dumb history.

" Yes you have to take history. You might even find it interesting." HA! He thought that I, Eric Cwikwitty, who failed history, could enjoy it. Sometimes adults can be so clueless. 

So all of the people here were mutants.

Including me.
