Drell led Harvey to a large door with red sequins and a golden doorknob. Harvey frowned at the over-decorated door. "Wow... you really like color" he said. "Now, step through the door and the first test will begin" Drell said, giving him a slight push towards the door. He turned the knob and entered the room. Suddenly, he felt like someone had ripped his heart out and doused it in Tobasco sauce then put it back inside him. He was in hot, intense burning pain and he tried to stifle his yells for help. He couldn't have Drell think he couldn't handle pain, he'd never pass the test. He braced himself for a landing, but landed softly on the floors of a building. He turned around to see he was in Westbridge High.
Everything looked exactly the way it did eight years ago. Harvey turned around and heard the bell for lunch ring and students began to pour out of their homerooms. Harvey was shocked to see; himself!. He was walking right towards himself with Sabrina and their old friend Jenny. But, they didn't look the same age as they were now. They looked sixteen again. Jenny hadn't gone to boarding school yet. Harvey watched himself head to a locker, and saw his fiancee chat away with Jenny. All of a sudden, a group of cheerleaders wearing green and white uniforms walked by, including their captain Libby Chessler. She had a small smirk on her face and headed toward Jenny. "Nice outfit, where'd you get it? A dumpster?" she said, snickering. Cee Cee and Jill laughed in unison and tossed their hair back. Sabrina stepped in front of her. "Leave her alone, Libby" she said, frowning. Libby directed her attention to Sabrina. "Mind your own business...freak" she said in a mocking tone. Then, they left. Harvey then saw himself emerge from where he had wandered off to and Libby put on a fake smile. "Hi, Harvey" she said sweetly and kept walking. Harvey returned the friendly hello and smiled at Sabrina. "See?. She's nice" he said. Now, Harvey knew why Sabrina said Libby was not a nice person. He felt so stupid; why didn't he see it before?. For a minute, Libby had actually seemed a little like Amber.
Then, Harvey dashed out of sight. He couldn't let his sixteen year old self see him. Sixteen year old Harvey didn't know about magic yet; what would happen to Sabrina if his younger self saw the older him?. Nothing good obviously.
Harvey hid inside Mr.Pool's old science classroom. A seventeen year old black boy was holding his head in his hands. "What's the matter?" Harvey asked, peering down at the boy. "Harvey, don't you remember?. We have a science test today and Mr.Pool never warned us. He just announced it on the intercom like, two hours ago. Now, we have no time to study and if we don't get at least a B+ we can't stay on the team" the boy said, frowning. Harvey didn't remember this happening when he was sixteen, but he had to go along with it and play along. Then, he noticed something strange. The boy had treated him like he was a student, Harvey was now an adult. Why did he look like a highschooler to the boy?. Then, it hit him. He had been transformed so mortals could see him as a highschooler. He decided to take to his new role and act out the part. "Oh, I forgot about it. But, I'm sure you'll ace it... um?" Harvey asked, pondering his memory trying to remember the guy's name. "Johnson" the boy corrected, smiling nervously. Harvey nodded dumbly.
Lunch hour ended, Harvey sat next to Sabrina and Jenny and acted completely normal. He noticed a lot of things he never noticed before about Sabrina; she was full of hope and her aura... he never could see her aura before, but it was full of light magic. He was seeing her in a new light, with new eyes. It felt amazing. Then, he headed towards science class. He clenched his pen nervously and squeezed it. It left a stain, flaming red ink dripped from the red stump of a pen. He wrote his name messily; Harvey Krinkle. Stupid pen. He stared at the first question.
What is the process in which plants get their food?. That was easy, he wrote photosynthesis. But, the questions got harder. What is the purpose of the vacuoles?. Harvey had done a project on the animal cell and he had wrote 7 pages of information on the nucleus and cell membrane, but he had learned nothing about vacuoles. He turned towards Gordy, the school nerd. Gordy was the smartest kid in school and he got straight A's all the time. But, Libby also picked on him mercilessly. Normally, Harvey couldn't cheat because he didn't have the right flexibility to turn towards someone's paper and not be caught. Fortanately, the situation was entirely different if he had magical powers.
If he could turn his head just right and cast a invisibility spell on himself, he would be able to see the answers clear as day. Then, he could get an A on the test and not get kicked off the team. But... that wasn't right, was it?.
Do it said a voice inside his head. I can't. It wouldn't be fair, it's not right to cheat Harvey argued with the inner darkness inside himself. Do it. If you were the genious, Gordy would copy off you the second voice protested.
Harvey tried to fight down his dark side. He knew that was a lie; Gordy was no cheater and neither was Harvey Krinkle.
No, I'm not going to abuse my magic to cheat on a test. It wouldn't be fair for everyone else who earned an A. I'm just cheating myself if I do this Harvey admonished, and he began racking his brain to remember something about vacuoles. Precisely 50 minutes later, Harvey had completed the test and hadn't cheated off anyone at all. Mr.Pool handed the test back and in sunlight, the paper reflected a spiky black A+. He had got a perfect score honestly.
All of a sudden, the alternate universe highschool subsided and Harvey found himself back in Drell's office. Drell stroked his hand through his forehead, shining with sweat. Harvey grimaced in disgust. "Sorry. Anyway, you passed" he said, smiling. "What's my next test?" asked Harvey, his face darkening. He hadn't really enjoyed learning the truth about his former admirer, Libby. Drell snapped a big chunk of chocolate off a huge chocolate bar. "Rules say, I have to give you this before you take the next test" he said, throwing the chocolate at him like it was a venomous snake.
Harvey chomped on the chocolate and chewed vigorously, then he gagged on it. "Yuck!" he said, spitting out the wet chunks of brown goop. "That's the worse thing I ever tasted" he grumbled. "That's because it wasn't chocolate, it was X-lax" Drell said, laughing nervously. Harvey made a gagging motion and dashed to the bathroom, vomiting violently and hearing exaggerated flushing noises.
