It had happened during the recreation period, when he had been playing with Asher. Jonas had casually picked up an apple from the basket where the snacks were kept, and had thrown it to his friend.
Okay... Catch

Jonas
This scene is important because it's the first time the reader discovers that Jonas sees things different from everyone else. "But suddenly Jonas had noticed, following the path of the apple through the air with his eyes, that the peice of fruit had- well, this was the part that he couldn't adequately understand- the apple had changed." Later on in the book the reader finds out that this is called seeing beyond. The change that Jonas is seeing in the apple is the color red.
WHAT THE?!The apple changed in mid air!?
Don't drop it... don't drop it...don't drop it...
Asher
There was absoulutely nothing remarkable about the apple. He had tossed it back and forth between his hands a few times, then thrown it again to Asher and again- in the air, for an instant only- it had changed. It had happened four times. Jonas had blinked, looked around, and then tested his eyesight, squinting at the small print on the identification badge attached to his tunic. He read his name quite clearly.

Ash? Does anything seem strange to you? About the apple?
Yes, It jumps out of my hand onto the ground.
