Jimmy was in the library to study. Normally, he’d do that in his room, with his cards, as he knew he could be noisy as he recited them, but he heard everyone was studying in the study rooms of the library and he wanted to do like everybody else. Besides, his teacher gave him a few books that could help him, no doubt in an attempt to make their worst student succeed in their class. Jimmy being Jimmy, he was always the last one to understand in class, but at least he was trying. He put all of his effort into his study. Plus, he couldn’t see the teacher’s reasoning here, he saw nothing but kindness in this. He couldn’t say it helped however. At best did it allow him to have a bigger pile of books on the table around him. Bigger pile however meant more chances to lose something. Not in the sense ‘unable to remember where I placed it’, that never happened to Jimmy, all thanks to his power. More in the sense that he ended up dropping them on the floor. That, sadly, had to happen.
It was just a pencil, but as he heard it fall and hit the floor, he moved and dropped the content of his pencil case. And, as he pulled his chair and kneeled on the floor to pick them up, it was the sheet of paper with his assignment on that joined the rest, floating its way out. Jimmy began with a chase for his pencils, walking on fours on the floor of the library as some rolled their way pretty far. Then he returned to his table. He was under the table, going for his sheet, only someone had arrived during his little cleaning up to sit at the same table and now had their foot on it. Facing said foot, he looked at it for a moment before tapping on it gently to get their attention. It was unclear whether it was the foot’s attention or the person’s he wanted to get. Probably whichever allowed him to get his paper back.
