My magic power……shApE ShiFTEr

I woke up one morning, but it wasn’t any morning. I felt alive and excited about something, I don’t even know why! I knew something big was going to happen today-VERY BIG and I was going to be apart of it. I quickly got changed and got ready for school in record time. We finally arrived at school, Ash and I made our way up to the lockers and suddenly stopped and looked around. There was no-one at school! We went up to the office and the ladies were there. They said we only started at 11.00 today. Ash and I looked at each other dumb founded! We couldn’t believe that we had forgotten. As Ash and I strolled down to main street we tripped at the same time, and fell intoi a pool of shimmery purple sticky stuff that smelt like my lipgloss. Luckily we had 2 and a half hours till school started! We decided to catch the bus back to my house. After we had had a shower and got changed, I explained to mum that we only started at 11.00 today so she drove us to school.

First class was English. We had homework due in and I had forgotten! Mr.B was furiously yelling at me I swear I could nearly see clouds of steam coming out of his ears! I stared into his eyes and concentrated, it felt like some sort of energy was building up behind my eyes! For a split second I was lost and felt like I was Mr.B and made him stop yelling at me. Next thing I know I was me again and back in the class room with everyone working quietly on the laptops. The bell rang and as soon as it did Ash and I ran over to each other, “Did something weird happen to you in English like you could read minds? Because I could,” Ashley blurted out. I looked at her for a moment and said “No, but I can change into people, just like a shape shifter!!”

Throughout lunch we experimented on our friends and I turned into one of the canteen ladies and made her give us free food! The bell rang again and we had P.E and Mr.H was going to be away so we had a CRT (Casual Relief Teacher). I was ready I was just tying my shoelace when a giant shadow fell over the top on me, I froze with fear, looked up to see a tall, musculine, figure staring down upon me. I jumped to my feet and as I did he called “BLOCK RUN” There was a wave of groans and a couple of sarcastic ”Thanks Maddie!” Mr.F he called himself and if someone sat down or even looked like they were going to they had to do the block run again. By the time it was half a period I had done the block run 3 times I was so puffed and tired I could have passed out. Then I realised that I could use my powers, by the look of it Ashley was thinking that too. I tried really hard to get his attention but couldn’t so I sat down……….. He was getting ready to say ‘block run’ but I stared into the two round, black, shallow holes that he called eyes and concentrated. The feeling began I could feel it building up I opened my eyes and I was Mr.F staring back at myself……………….

About half an hour later the bell sounded and everyone rushed to get changed and Ash ran over to me with a massive smile! “Maddie, Maddie!!! That was awesome I can’t believe you did that! Mr.F bought everyone food from the canteen and let us do whatever we wanted for the rest of the period!!” she whispered as she gave me a massive hug! That night Ash slept over and we told my dad everything that had happened that day. We could tell he didn’t believe us but went along with it anyway. After a while he said “And how did you get this power?” Ash and I stared at each other and tried to think of where it had come from, we didn’t actually know when or how we got it. Then mum came in and said that she was trying to get the purple stains out of our uniforms and she didn’t know how we got them. Dad said “Purple stains how did you get them?” It suddenly clicked we had got the powers when we tripped into the purple sticky stuff.

We didn’t get much sleep that night and the next morning I couldn’t wait to get to school, Ash and I had arranged to catch the early bus I was so excited to explore my powers and how much more interesting things I could do with them! The day went on as usual and by the time the recess bell rang I felt really powerful like I could take on the world Ash and I were a team! During maths we were all talking about what movies we were going to see on the weekend when suddenly the fire alarm went off and everyone started screeming and panicking about what to do and where to go. Mrs.L said “Stay calm and move out the door in two straight lines and don’t muck about. We are to walk to the oval just like we practiced! QUICKLY EVERYONE”

Ash and I knew what we had to do. We zanuck out of the back  door to find the flame and to see if there was anyone trapped inside. Ash picked up on a person’s thoughts “I don’t know where to go! How do I get out of here?” We worked out where they were and I shifted into that person and helped her out. I had a great idea I could turn into the fire and make it go out!! So I concentrated so hard it felt like my head was going to explode. I was the fire, I didn’t no what to do I was scared, then I heard Ashley’s voice “It’s OK Maddie you can do it, the water supply is near the girls toilets.” As fast as I could I made the fire spread towards the water supply and my plan was to burn it down releasing the water onto the fire causing it to go out. It all happened to quickly one minute I was the fire now I am me again standing next to Ashley in front of the whole entire school! The principle spoke still shocked “If it wasn’t for these two girls there would have no school ground left!! Please give them a round of applause!!” It was extremely over-whelming to have to have everyone clapping for you. It was amazing.

Two weeks later little did we know that all the teachers had nominated us for a bravery award which was very rarely given out. Ashley and I were on the fromt page of the Herald Sun!! It read “Local Heros save their school!” They even interviewed us aswell, this had been the best week of our lives and a memerable expereince. Later that day once again the hall errupted whan Ash and I walked up onto stage to collect our awards. I was speechless………
