Both

As if the universe was reading his mind. The bell rung for the end of the period, both his friends Katie and Steven appeared before him. He remembered the two had shared a Spanish class together. They were both talking as they left the class. Steven saw him first and then Katie before they both approached him.

"Were you ditching?" Katie asked.

"Yeah, how are you out this way? Isn't your class on the other end of the building?" Steven wondered.

"If you were going to ditch, you should have let us in on it," Katie said.

"Beats being in Spanish..." Steven added.

"I was taking care of something..." Mark replied, his mind zipping through options. He really wanted to let his friends in on his newly discovered powers. There were two obvious outcomes. One... the good outcome. They were both down with it. Two... the bad... they weren't, they both would think he was nuts. This was a gamble for sure. If they were both down with it all was good. If they weren't, he would need to also freeze both of them just keep things under control. More of a mess... but it was going to be a necessity if he were to do this gamble. Of course there was a chance that one of friends maybe good and the other not. So a few things could happen very soon.

"Yo, what's going on dude? You're spacing," Katie asked and brought Mark from his thoughts.

"I know that look..." Steven smirked. "You have a cool secret."

Katie looked at Mark closely. "Yeah... what are you hiding, Mark?" she asked, squinting her eyes.

Mark could not help but smile. Steven and Katie were his best friends. They had to know each other since kindergarten. "Follow me guys," Mark gestured, finally deciding to take that gamble.

He led his friends to a nearby classroom. The classroom has just emptied out for the period and no other students had started to trickle in for the next period yet. Once his friends were in the classroom, he closed the doors behind them.

Like the classes down this hallway, it was a language class. The wall decorations told the trio they were in a French class. "Excuse me?" said the teacher of the classroom inquired as Mark turned from the closed door.

Mark's language elective was Latin, so he did not know the teacher. She was a curvy African-American woman with long brown braided hair that fell just past her shoulders. She had wire-frame glasses on and surprisingly bright eyes that looked either blue or gray. The teacher was clad in a knit short-sleeve turtle neck that showed off her ample bust and fitted slacks that did the same to her shapely thighs and well-endowed backside with simple flats completing her look. She stood at the front of the class and turned from the dry erase board to face her interlopers.

"You three are not in my class," the teacher stated. Mark could just make a slight French accent and wondered if the woman was actually French.

A quick glance at the teacher's dangling ID lanyard, Mark was introduced to Ms. Patrice Michel. "Stop Patrice!" Mark commanded. Just as with Phoebe, the busty French teacher froze in place. She stood time-stopped with hands on her shapely hips and mixed looked of puzzlement and annoyance on her face.

"What..." Katie asked, looking between the still teacher and Mark.

"The heck?" Steven asked, doing the same, but then stepping up to Ms. Michel and waving a hand in front of her face. The woman did not react. He poked her on the shoulder, and she only wobbled stiffly in reply. "What the heck?" Steven asked once more, turning back to his friends.

"I time froze her," Mark answered, not able to keep a smug look from his face.

"Time froze?" Katie asked and stepped up to the unmoving woman. She flicked the woman on the nose. There was no reaction. She then removed the teacher's glasses. Nothing. Katie peered at the woman's bright eyes, they just stared on emptily. There was no life in them, the woman looked doll-like.

Steven got bold and groped at the Ms. Michel's breasts.

"Steven!" Katie warned as she pulled her friend's hands back. Both friends looked in shock and silence at Ms. Michel for a reaction, but none came. The woman remained as she was and she was starting to remind Steven of a store front dummy.

"She's time frozen..." Mark said as he stepped up to his friends. He ran a hand down the time-suspended woman's cheek. "She won't mind anything we do to her.

Steven and Katie looked at the time-frozen teacher and to Mark and then back again. Mark wondered what his friends wanted to do, either learn more about his power or have some fun.
