Short story- Time is in their hands
Jay is a boy in the first year of sixth form college, he's been shy from a very young age and as he grows up he starts to see the world in a different way. He feels as if everyone is his enemy, so instead of mingling with the crowed, he stays in the background, listens to his music and be an average student. Every pupil at Ground view high has their own individual super power and attends individual classes to help them control or gain confidence in using their powers. Jay knows his power, but nobody else does, he attends 5 lessons a day for each power possible but refuses to show his power infront of his class mates and/or teachers. Nobody knows what Jays power is, there for his peers are worried/scared to talk to him. There are a group of people who name themselves 'Timers' each share the same power. They dislike Jay and claim that they know him for who he really is. Wherever Jay goes, they are always following. The group of boys dont talk but their powers are to re-wind time so that events change and life for everyone becomes different except from Jay. Jay one day gets given a locket by his late mother which is a hologram of memories. Jays mother was well known for being the best at flying on the cloud track and was the fastest flyer in the world. The timers believe that if they had their hands on Jay's mothers locket then they could sell it which would cost millions for the group. The timers target Jay and start messing with time so that somehow they could get hold of his locket. His life is continuously being rewinded back to when his mother gave the locket to Jay. As jay's life is rewinded for the first time, he dosent understand whats going on and why he wakes up to his mother cooking breakfast. He re-lives his life for a short amount of time until his mothers funeral (died in a car accident), he was given the locket at his mothers funeral by his sister which promised her mother that she would pass it on once her mother is passed. The timers keep rewinding time so that instead of Jays mother getting hit by a car, its now jay in the coffin . Fortunately Jay's power is immortality. He wakes up in the coffin and re-arranges each of the timers life. He does this because another of his powers is that every time he is killed by a power, he steals that power which is why he turns up to every lesson because he will slowly develop every power possible. He rewinds time for the timers so that they get hit by the car and he can finally spend the rest of his life with his mother.
