Fantasy

She was in the middle of the crowd inside the bus. the bus was going to hit the rails. she closed her eyes and thought about what she should be at that moment to stop the accident.

" Oh I know what is going to help," she said and started beaming.

She opened her eyes and time was stopped! she started fixing her clothes, grabbed her cap and passed through passengers.

" Oh you have french fries,” she said and grabbed the guy’s fries.

Stood out of the buy while eating her fries and said: " now what should we do about this flying bus ? ".

" Oh I love when time is stopped, I should rob a bank once, or maybe twice,” she said out loud.

" Maybe a little masculine person may help,” she said and lifted the bus, put it back on the road. she closed her eyes again and lasted for some seconds, she opened her eyes and everything was back to normal.

She walked away and headed to University. she walked along the university hall while talking to herself.

" I’m enjoying my Starbucks Mocha," she said and then a large cup of Mocha appeared in her hand.

" And I have my backpack with me of course” soon after she said it her backpack was there.

She entered the class and started thinking " oh again, pointless mates and boring teacher”.

She sat in front of the class and a guy sat next to her.

" Hey Do you want me to tell you what will happen in the next two minutes ? " she asked the guy.

He looked back at her, laughed and replied " Oh hey, give it a shot”

" That guy over there is gonna walk to that ugly girl over there and kiss her. look at that girl she forgot to solve those stupid chemistry exercises and she’s going to cry for it. your mother is going to call you and ask if you drank all the chocolate milk this morning… then a man over there is gonna put his finger in his nose and eat whatever comes out of it …"

“ Oh stop it,” He said loudly.

“ No listen, the teacher is gonna come in and his phone is gonna ring, of course, it is his son asking him for two thousand dollars. so he's gonna smile like he’s the richest guy in the world and say okay. then he’s gonna turn to you and ask you where he stopped the last session” she said and sipped her drink.

“I don’t know what to say, I hope they will happen,” he said.

“ Nothing ! just look at those two, they are kissing ! oh that was a kiss I was thinking about… look over there, now she’s crying … don’t look at that guy’s finger… it is really disgusting, eww ” she pointed.

There was a ringing sound in the class. He took out his phone and said " Hi mom, yes I drank the coco milk " he ended the call, Turned back saw the teacher who was saying “What was the last thing I taught the last session ”.

He turned back to her and he looked at her like he just passed out.

“ Now you are gonna take out a chocolate bar and share it with me," she said.

He took out the bar and shared it, but he had no idea how he did it. He looked shocked and scared.

He was gazing at her and said: “how do you do that ?”

“Do you wanna know? meet me in front of pizza place at 6 pm” she said.

“ Okay, sure” he replied.

“ And you’re gonna wear that awesome NASA hoodie,” she said and ate the bar.

“How do you know?” he asked.

“I’ll tell you” she responded.

“ At least tell me your name,” he said.

“ Call me Carol,” she said and smiled

“Okay Carol, my name is Jonathon,” he said.

“ I know you blond handsome, you play soccer and your left leg is now bothering you but you cant tell the coach because you are on top of the team, scored a lot and he is in love with you .. of course, he is gay ” she was saying.

“ he was… ” suddenly he said “ Oh please let’s talk at 6 I have to listen to class Carol Holmes, I assume!

“Holmes! see you at 6 ” she packed her bag.

“ don’t leave the class you’re gonna miss the lecture,” he said

“ Do you want the notes for this session?” she asked

She grabbed a paper out of nowhere with the note of today’s class, waved her hand and left the class.

He waved back and horrified.

Later that day at 5:45, in front of a pizza place, Jonathon in his NASA hoodie and blue jeans with his backpack, standing there waiting. probably thinking who that girl was.

" Welcome to my stamping ground, do you like pizza? " a voice asked him from behind.

He started talking “Hello, I like pizza, thanks for the notes it was very accurate I have to say ”.

“that’s bad because I love pizza,” she said and walked into the pizza place.

“ About today, sorry I am so confused about what is going on… who are you? Doctor Strange o Sherlock Holmes ? ” he followed her and asked her.

“ Stop with Holmes stuff, Actually I think doctor strange was a cool character but I was not there to think about his creation, I’m not that old,” she said.

“what are you talking about ?” he asked.

“ Come and sit here, this view is great, you have the city view, and people to change, stuff to change,” she said, put her backpack down and sat down.

“ Okay I don’t get it.. are you some kind of psychic? sorry to say that ” he asked.

“ let me show you, we are going to order pizza, aren’t we?” she asked.

“ yes we are, I think if it’s a real place ” he replied.

she looked at him and said “ So I am going to make changes, now I close my eyes and start thinking about ordering pizza. I have to warn you, don’t shout”.

She closed her eyes and seconds later pizzas were on the table.

he shouted, " what the hell “.

“ Yeah, there you have it like I imagined you are freaking out, do you want me to change the menu? that’s more fun”

After 15 minutes of eating 8 pizzas, Jonathon started talking " I just ate 8 pizzas “.

“ Yes I thought eating pizza is good for you now … tee-hee” she said

“ What?.. never mind … tell me, so you think about it and it happens” he asked and cleaned his fingers.

“ Well it’s not that easy but I do small stuff, travelling through time, I enter the black hole I thought about it, I survived 175 people from a plane crash, I have changed some events in my mind which then changed in history books, I have done too much. but I get free foods all the time. Just by imagining it. ” she said it proudly.

He got excited and said, “but how did you get the power, you can stop global warming, you can change the bad people, stop terrorist attacks ”.

“ first of all not everything should be done by one imagination, sometimes group effort is needed. and secondly, I am not that powerful yet, but one day I will be” she replied back.

“that is right,” he said and looked at her and continued “fancy a walk with me? I know a romantic place”.

“ I thought about that too, that was my idea,” she said and laid back.

“ Oh it's not fair ” he commented.

He grabbed her hand and pulled her down the street and headed to a park.

Hours later they were in the middle of park talking about science stuff and laughing

“Now tell me, how did you get this superpower ” he grilled.

“ Let me see, someone said if you imagine things, it happens but it should be a strong feeling, you should think about it deeply and with all your mind and body,” she said.

“ But that is a simple quote to make people go for their dreams ” he mentioned.

“ Yes, the moment I heard it, I tried to imagine myself in the same room as Isaac newton. I turned back and I saw Isaac Newton asking me Who are you ? ” she said and laughed

“ Oh now I see, you are really a girl with superpowers,” he said excitedly.

“ Do you wanna see a meteorite?” she asked

“ Yes of course” he replied and suddenly said “ wow that was awesome” looked back at her and asked, “ have you ever imagined falling in love ?”

“ I’m gonna imagine you are a good kisser ” she said while she was blushing.

“You rock with your imagination ” he said back and went for the kiss … and romance happened under the full moon, exactly as she imagined.
