Here is a rough first draft of Chapter 2:

Sam studied his reflection in the mirror with dismay. After just a few more uses of his time stopping power, he now looked like he had aged 10 years. Tufts of gray hair, wrinkles, and an old man’s paunch stomach stared back at him.

At first, Sam had enjoyed the thrill and freedom of being able to freeze time. But now the aging consequences were becoming severe. He had to be careful and limit using his abilities, otherwise he could end up elderly very quickly.

At school, Sam’s teachers and classmates started noticing his altered appearance.

“Sam, are you feeling alright? You look a little tired,” said his English teacher, Ms. Willis, eyeing his graying hair with concern. Sam just mumbled an excuse about not sleeping well.

In the cafeteria, his friend James waved a hand in front of Sam’s face. “Dude, you look ancient! What’s going on?” Sam laughed it off, saying it was just bad lighting, but he felt uneasy.

Emily, the pretty girl who sat next to Sam in Chemistry, stared at him wide-eyed. “Sam, you look…different. Did you get contacts or something?” Sam knew he had to tell her the truth.

After school, Sam took Emily aside and revealed his secret power. He explained how he could stop time but it caused him to age. Emily listened in astonished disbelief.

“Prove it,” she said. Sam focused inward, feeling time come to a standstill around them. Emily gasped as the world froze. Sam unfroze time again.

“Oh my god, Sam, this is insane! But we have to find a way to stop the aging. Maybe if you use your powers less it’ll reverse?”

Sam nodded grimly. He knew he had to quit relying on his abilities, no matter how exhilarating they were. With Emily’s help, hopefully he could find a way to turn back the clock and regain his true age.
