quickly closing the door behind me I walked over to grab the magically forged US dollar bill that was now mine, as I was admiring the dollar that appeared in my room a thought came to me, 'How exactly is reality affected by my power? Like is the dollar that I'm now holding officially recognized by the government, and if so, how far could I take the money creation?' Whatever it was as long as I avoided jail time than I think I would probably use it to get some quick money from time to time.

If I wanted to see real change though... I would have to stop sitting idly and actually do something drastic, and hey! If I was in danger I had a perfect plan to get out, well that's what I'm saying now at least to give some nice suspense :D.

I laid down on my bed and let my mind rest a little, and for some reason, I was actually excited to wake up tomorrow in a terrible world, because... I wanted to see it fall with my own hands first before I let myself even taste paradise.

Things were finally about to start getting fun >:).

The next day I woke up with a goal, first, I would need to get some information on my school, to make sure I know exactly what the schedule is and so that I can use my ability on the corrupt staff without being interfered or having something at all seem off. The second, was to actually go in and do the changing, with simple questions to change people and the world around me without being noticed at first and then moving it to bigger things once I have more of a standing and invulnerability to the law. But to be completely honest, I wanted to mess with some people first, but... to do that, I would need to enhance myself a little.

I walked through the doors of my school once more, and I went straight to trying to find the first target to grant me an ability, something I realized pretty fast after gaining my power is that I essentially act as an initiator for things people say to come true, and by that I mean me asking a, "would you rather," question then turns whatever answer the person would normally give into reality changing inputs. So, I can trick someone into initiating an answer that will give me a shape shifting power, instead of complete invisibility or invulnerability I would go with the funner option, tricking and bamboozling, or well, at least I'd try...

I finally tracked down my friend who was sitting on the floor of one of the halls with a backpack in-between their legs, searching for something. This was my other good friend included within my, "two only good friends."

"Hey Shaun." He was a little startled at the call of his name, which has been a pretty big problem to deal with for most of his life. He craned his head and looked up at me, the color returned to his face from most likely confusing me for anyone else in the whole school.

"Oh, hey proxy, I haven't seen you in a while, I thought you were someone else for a second," he glanced away nervously, chuckling to himself a little.

"Yeah, sorry if I scared you,"

This is how most of our conversations started, and well, ended. But we were both happy with that, I didn't really like small talk that much so being with him was like a breath of fresh air.

He stopped searching through my backpack and for the first time in a while, and I mean, a while... He took the initiative in a conversation,

"Hey proxy..." He paused, sighed, and then looked at me with a pained expression,

"I don't think I can do this anymore, it's too hard to try.... and-" He took a deep breath,

"Even when we do try,- it's just bad, this is all just so bad..."

I always knew that the world around me probably had a surprising amount of people that were having a hard time but... Out of all the people to just say something like this... I know it might not make sense to you, I've only just introduced them... But, even then, for the first time, in public or private, he let how he really felt into the world.

The true reason I came looking for him was entirely derailed, but I was okay with that, at least he was able to let out his bottled emotions.

I gave him a look that was a mix of a comforting smile and a concerned look.

I didn't know what to necessarily do in the moment, so I just did the first thing that came to my mind.

"Things will get better, things will change, just wait for me..."
