00:00Every time I blush, the world freezes.
00:02Today, someone else moved.
00:03In science class, my volcano slideshow skipped to my baby bath photo.
00:07Thanks, Mom.
00:08My face went hot, and the whole class stopped.
00:10Milk hanging in the air.
00:11The clock stuck at 9.41.
00:13Even my crush, staring at my shoes.
00:15Cheeks pink.
00:17Probably the heater.
00:18I fixed the slide.
00:19On my desk, a sticky note.
00:20Nice save.
00:21Nobody moves when the world is frozen.
00:23Nobody but me.
00:24So who wrote it?
00:25Suspect one, Gary.
00:27Pockets full of sticky notes.
00:28But Gary was frozen mid-yawn.
00:30With a fly heading straight in.
00:31Crossed off.
00:32Suspect two, the principal.
00:33Frozen mid-sneeze.
00:35For 11 minutes.
00:36Crossed off.
00:37To catch the note writer, I had to freeze time again.
00:39Which meant embarrassing myself.
00:41On purpose.
00:42At lunch, I climbed on a table and did the worst dance in school history.
00:45The whole cafeteria chanted my name.
00:47By dessert, somebody was selling t-shirts.
00:49Not one blush.
00:50Then I stepped down, slipped on my tray, and my fries and chocolate milk exploded into the air.
00:55Face on fire.
00:56Freeze!
00:57Stuck to a floating fry.
00:58A second note.
00:59Cute hair.
01:00At the assembly, I grabbed the mic and sang the worst song I knew.
01:03It came out perfect.
01:04The music teacher cried.
01:05The principal signed me up for choir.
01:07Zero blush.
01:08Then, I tripped over the mic cable and face-planted in front of 800 kids.
01:12Freeze!
01:13A third note.
01:14Right under my nose.
01:15Turn around.
01:16I turned around.
01:16800 frozen kids.
01:18And one who wasn't.
01:19My crush.
01:20Redder than my baby photo, holding a whole stack of sticky notes.
01:23She peeled off the top one and stuck it on my forehead.
01:26It only stops when we both blush.
