Chapter 3: Hypnosis Horrors

Nate, Francis, and Teddy ran into the lunch room, wildly searching for Gina.

"It's time!"Nate said with a really large grin on his face.

At that moment, Francis spotted Gina. She was sitting on her lunch table, doing her homework from her first 3 periods. Francis rolled his eyes. "Typical Gina." he thought. Then, he turned to his friends. "I found her!" he shouted.

Nate's grin then went beyond what was physically possible and got a lot bigger. "Okay, now it's really time!" He began to walk towards Gina.

Francis and Teddy hesitated for a few seconds. "This will not end well." Francis said to Teddy. "With Nate, it never does." Teddy said.

Nate sat down at Gina's table. "Hello, Gina." He said with a snide look on his face. He then realized that Gina was too absorbed in her homework to notice he was there. "Gina!"he yelled in anger.

Gina jumped in surprise. "What are you doing here, Nate?" she asked him.

Nate looked at her. "Well Gina, I recently heard that it is incredibly hard to hypnotize somebody who is really intelligent."

Gina smirked. "Well then it would be impossible to hypnotize me." She replied confidently.

Nate smiled. That was exactly what he had been expecting her to say. She had no clue what her gigantic ego was walking her into. "You have no proof of that, Gina." He said calmly.

Gina was now angry. "Just try to hypnotize me Nate! I can't wait to see your reaction when you realize that I'm way too smart to be hypnotized by you, who just so happens to be the biggest idiot in this entire school!"

Now, normally Nate would be angry about a mean comment like this one, but he was already too happy that his plan was working in his favor already. "Okay then." He told her. He then pulled a dark purple turban out of his pocket, and began to wrap it around his head. Gina rolled her eyes. Francis and Teddy, who had recently arrived, also rolled their eyes. Francis was suddenly reminded of the time that he had thought his book fair money had been stolen from his locker, so Nate had dressed up like Sherlock Holmes(he called these his 'sleuthing clothes'), but then it had turned out that the money was right behind him the entire time… Francis was brought back to reality by Nate suddenly taking the pocket watch he was going to use to hypnotized Gina with from his…pocket. "Let's do this then" he said. He began to swing the watch in front of Gina's face. "Now Gina, I want you to watch this…well, watch as it swings back and forth…back and forth…back and forth…" This was the last thing Gina heard before she became completely hypnotized.

Nate smiled when he realized Gina's eyes had glazed over and turned gray. Then he realized he didn't have an idea of what he would do next. But then he remembered the whole reason he was doing this to Gina, and had what he thought was his best idea ever. "Gina, whenever you are doing your homework, or somebody asks you a question, you will become the dumbest person ever, and come up with an incredibly wrong answer that doesn't even make a bit of sense. Got it?"

Gina simply nodded his head to show that she 'understanded'

Nate smiled again. "Now when I snap my fingers, you will forget that I came over to talk to you, and your hypnotic programming will only work again in the situations previously stated. Got it?"

Gina nodded again.

Nate snapped his fingers and ran away as fast as he could. "Okay" he said to Teddy and Francis. "The plan is that we quiz her on random subjects so we can be sure the hypnosis really worked.

His friends nodded and walked over to Gina. "Hey Gina!" said Teddy. "Pop Quiz!" Gina looked attentive. "What year did the Civil War begin?" he asked. Gina's eyes glazed over again. "2590000." She responded. Nate smiled his biggest smile yet.

Francis walked over. "Who first proposed the law of gravity?" he asked. "Elvis." She answered. Nate smiled larger, seriously close to cracking up.

Nate himself walked over "What's 2+2?" he asked. "Uh…3.99?" she answered.

Nate, Francis and Teddy cracked up. They had never laughed so hard in their entire life. Gina snapped out of her trance. "What's so funny?" she asked. Well, that just made them laugh even harder than before. They laughed until it was time to go to class.

Boy was Gina in for it!

IT was science, the last class of the day. Gina had already freaked out a bunch of teachers with her sudden stupidity. Mr. Galvin was teaching his class about atoms.

"Gina, what is the center of an atom?" he asked Gina.

Gina's eyes glazed over. "Thomas Edison." She answered

Mr. Galvin frowned and Nate grinned.

"What do you call the orbs rotating the atom?" the teacher asked Gina.

"I before E." she answered.

"Are you the real Gina?" asked the really freaked out Mr. Galvin.

"Bacon." answered Gina.

As Mr. Galvin fainted, Nate said to himself "I will never get tired of this!"

He was wrong.
