“If you could do something over again, what would it be and why?” One day my friend Peter asked me suddenly during lunch time.
“What? Why you ask me about this?”
“Just answer me.”
“Fine. Am… I would like to retake my benchmark test, so I could do a better job and I don’t need fight with my mom.” I remembered the benchmark test we took last week, I got a terrible score on that.
“Go ahead.” My friend said.
“What?” After I finished that “what” I sudden got into a strange colorful space with countless clocks around me and the pointers on those clocks were all going backward and then I fainted.
When I opened my eyes I was sitting in my Math classroom, “Ok, now here’s your English benchmark~” my English teacher said so and she looked a little younger today.
“What? English benchmark? We took that last week, didn’t we?” I was confused.
“Oh, come on, today is October 29th, the first English benchmark during your 8th grade.” My English teacher told me today is benchmark again.
“So, I went back in time? My friend is a super power holder? I’m retaking my benchmark?” I turned back to look at Peter and I saw he smiled to me.
“What are you talking about? This is the first time you take your 8th grade benchmark, are you ok?”
“Oh, sorry, I’m ok, I just watched too much movies, haha…” I answered my English teacher and turned back again to look at Peter, and I saw he smiled again, but a horrible way…
Anyway, I was back in time and retook my benchmark, I can get a 100%, if the questions didn’t change…
“What? How could questions changed?” I yelled aloud.
“Hey, shut your mouth. I can’t focus on my test!” One of my classmates said to me.
“Oh, I’m sorry… What the?!” I was so surprised because I never see that guy in this classroom before, “Who are you?”
“Dude, I’m Ryan, what’s wrong with you, how could you even forget your best friend’s name.”
“How can you be my best friend? I never see you before!” I almost cried. Than other students were all yelling at me. At that time I suddenly found that there was no one I have seen before. Wait! That was Paul, why he was here, he should be in high school now. What happened?
I rushed to Peter and cried: “What was that?!”
“I brought you back, that’s it.”
“What? Back in when?”
“The English benchmark.” He answered me and laughed, just like a lunatic.
“What’s the data today?” I turned back and asked my English teacher.
“October 29th, I think I told you like 5 minutes ago.”
“No, the year, tell me the year!”
“2011? Hey, what’s wrong with you?”
“2011? No, no, no, no! This year is 2012!” I was feeling so uncomfortable, and… and scary!
I went back and caught Peter’s shoulder and shaken him harder and harder but he was just laughing, laughing, and laughing… Then suddenly I got into that strange colorful space and fainted again. Said: “Hey, guys, are you ready for your first benchmark for 8th grade?”
When I opened my eyes, I was sitting in my English classroom, my English teacher looked even younger and said: “Hey, guys, are you ready for your first benchmark for 8th grade?”
