Finally, the sweet, sweet sound of the school bell rang out through the classroom and through Timmy’s ears. Home at last, now he can spend his time usefully instead of wasting away at a desk, he thought, as he started to walk out of his classroom when a voice cut in.
“Are you gonna study today?” It called out
It was Wimbleton, his magical snail friend on his shoulder, with 4 eyes, two normal, and two on his glowing shell. These eyes allowed Wimbleton to see shortly into the future, only about an hour at most.
“Yeah, Of course Wimbleton, I mean,” He shrugged, “Come on, I’m making my academic comeback, starting today!
“Ok, just remember you have a history test tomorrow and you have to do your math homework, Timmy.”
Timmy nodded and they walked home, Wimbleton quizzing him on his history a little on the way. When they arrived, they decided to eat some lunch, it wouldn’t take too long. TImmy made himself a sandwich, and gave Wimbleton some lettuce.
“So, after we’re done eating, what should we do first, your homework or study for that test.”
“Well, probably the homework, but I’m a little tired, I have time for a nap right?”
Wimbleton closed his eyes, opening his 4th eye to peer into the future, he saw Timmy completely asleep, no chance of waking up. He opened back his usual two to see Timmy looking at him
“So, what’s the plan? Do I have time to get a little rest?” He said, Wimbleton looking at him a bit concerned.
“Well, no, I looked into the future, you were completely out! No way you’d be getting back up, I think we should start now.” Wimbleton called out, so they sat down at their desk and got to work. The math homework was no big deal for Timmy and Wimbleton, working through it together, they got through it pretty quickly. Studying for history, however, was a challenge. It was getting a little late, it was dark and Timmy was feeling tired. History never was his subject, he found it so hard to remember the details and study for the tests.
“Wimbleton, can we take a break?” He cried out while Wimbleton was quizzing him. Wimbleton agreed of course, but he peered into the future to see how long; It was about a 20 minute break, he was happy how well Timmy was using his time.
After the break and they went back to studying, Timmy finally finished going over the study guide, getting quizzed by Wimbleton, and studying with his friend online, and could sleep.
The next day, Timmy took the test, and as he clicked the submit button, he could feel his stomach churning and his palms sweating, but he ended up getting a high score, a 96%!
“Wimbleton, if it wasn’t for your help, no way I would’ve done well on that!”
“I just guided you, all you needed was a bit better time management, Timmy, good job!” Wimbleton cheered.
From studying with him over the phone, his friends also all did well on the test, and they celebrated over lunch, Timmy focused on managing his time better, and benefited much from it, becoming a better student and started to love and understand his history class.
