10. Mood Swings. Mr Chase is checking you out!

What am I doing in the woods?

I heard my stomach rumble and most of the time i'm really hunger. However this hunger was different than my usual one. I was craving to eat something big and raw like an animal, didn't know which kind. So long as it appeased my great hunger pang.

I started sniffing.

Its hard to imagine a human sniffing, but here I was sniffing away like a dog, and soon I caught a scent of four legged animal.

I smiled seeing a deer in the forest. Hmm, looks tasty enough to eat.

My pace picked up and I started chasing it. My hunger was great and calling me out to hunt the wild creature, not to far away from me. I suddenly gave chase.

The deer noticed me coming at it with a strange sound escaping my lips.

In a mode of panic it started to run away from me

Nooo come back Jack!!!

Why the hell did I just name it Jack??

Wait, am I dreaming? Because let's face some facts.

I don't chase after wild animals and act like some kind of hunter. Yet here I was enjoying the thrill of the chase.

Is this a crazy vivid dream I'm having again?

"Miss McCredie?"

SLAM!!!

A Biology text book hit so loudly next to my face that was glued to my desk. The sound immediately startled me as and I suddenly yelled out

"COME BACK JACK!!!" My eyes soon shot open.

I soon faced Mr Chase looking down at me with his hands tucked against his chest.

$hit. He looks pissed.

I'm not the type to sleep in his class.

The whole class started laughing at me, as Mr Chase stared down at me shaking his head in disappointment, as I wiped the drool of the side of my cheek.

"SILENCE." He boomed with his loud authoritative voice making everyone instantly look away from us.

I shrunk in my chair, looking up at his dark midnight eyes, nervously gulping.

"Whose Jack?"

I shook my head as the wild dream I was having fled easily away.

"Are you going to answer me Miss McCredie?" He asked staring down at me hard like putting me on the spot.

"I'm sorry I slept in class sir, I meant no disrespect sir." I said with all honesty.

"Non taken, but that's still detention for you." He said with his great poker face.

"Detention? Wait! Craig sleeps in the class all the time sir!" I angrily pointed out obvious sleeping jock with my voice going up a notch or two all whilst standing up from my chair.

The class although looking away, were glued to us like hawks.

Clearly I was like a mouse in class. The obedient one. One of the most quiet people so to speak. It amazed them to see that I was talking back to a teacher.

Wow, where is this new level of confidence coming from?

I don't usually talk back to the teachers in a loud tone of voice, but i'm not going to lie. It kind of feels good.

"Craig get's straight A's and I let him sleep because he's on the team. Do you get A's and are you one the team McCredie?"

"No I'm not sir!" I snapped slapping my hands on the desk suddenly. Mr Chase raised his brow at my strange rude behaviour towards him.

Sit your @ss back down Jeana!

Sit it down right now!

I chanted at myself, but for some strange reason, I remained glued to where I was standing.

"Are you raising your voice at me Miss McCredie?" Mr Chase asked in an almost analytical way.

"No!" I snapped back in the same tone surprising him.

He deeply hmmed and then spoke again.

"Then sit back down." He said firmly without raising his voice as he did earlier with the class.

However I was staring back at him hard.

Defying his order.

"NOW!" He boomed.

"Ok!" I sat back down with the same tone of voice, obeying him at once.

Some students gasped out of fright with his loud tone of voice, other shook in their seats, but I still held that fiery gaze right back at him.

Seriously, what is wrong with me? Mr Chase has never lost his cool with me, and he's never raised his voice at me. I was secretly annoyed and afraid of him, as he watched me in the most strictest manner making me melt in my chair with his dark heated eyes.

Seeing the fire die down in my eyes, he then curled his lip to the side.

Mr Chase retreated back towards the front and carried on his lecture on Mitosis is.

Aria then nudged me, making me turn towards her.

"What is wrong with you? Why would you speak to him like that? Now you got detention with the hot angry handsome teach." Aria reminded. I just rolled my eyes and groaned mentally at myself.

Mr Chase was unfortunately a handsome teacher. I had zero feelings for him of course, but most of the girls drooled and took secret photos of him when he wasn't looking. He had his fan girls at school. Overall, when he wasn't in a bad mood like today, Mr Chase was a nice guy. Unlike most of the teachers who couldn't handle the 'troublesome' bunch.

Mr Chase could handle them with ease and I found it fascinating that the most dangerous and rowdiest kids in class obeyed him like a puppy.

After two weeks of the horrible so called 'dog' attack. A lot had changed overnight after the drugs wore of from me. For example I didn't need my thick Gukki glasses anymore.

My vision had become more clearer like crystal. I could see off in the distance. My nose had been acting weird too. Like I could smell scents all around me and even catch on particular scents off people. For instance, that strawberry flavoured gum coming from Aria's jumper pocket, or what kind of shampoo that girl sitting two seats in front of me used. No doubt Herbal Essences.

My face looked more cleaner. It felt softer and all of my few acne spots had disappeared away. I swear I grew a couple of inches taller too and my muscles felt strangely firmer and leaner. Not to mention so did my chest size. Not to a huge Double D extent. I went from a B to a now C cup.

I was able to run on the track for an two hours straight without breaking a sweat, and I actually caught the basketball for once! I used to hate P.E but now I'd suddenly grown to like it.

My sense of fashion on the other hand didn't change. I was always wearing track suit bottoms tank tops and on hot days crop tops over my light jackets or hoddies. I always donned on my white sneakers since they went with everything I wore.

However recently, despite my fake glasses I wore. I'd been getting these looks from guys. Maybe because I let down my long silky hair and braided it to the side. I was trying something new, and hey it seemed to work since I got a couple of winks from the senior boys I passed by the locker. I was proud of myself. I no longer looked invisible like the ugly ducking I thought I was thanks to Roman and Derek constantly reminding me that I was. But I never let them get to me. I knew I was cute on the inside.

I don't know what it was, but I was loving the new me. I felt like fire and somehow fully charged.

"First of all Miss Lee, Mr Chase Is old and forbidden to have a crush on because he's a teacher. Even if he is a hot teacher, I have no intentions for falling for him like the rest of the horny girls in class because A: That's disgusting B: You need to realise that. C: That's just wrong girl."

I spoke in the most lowest tone possible since everyone was discussing their team project on Mitosis is.

Aria scoffed at me. She was clearly team Mr Chase and Roman for that matter.

"Shutup slut! Mr fine looking Chase is not that old. He's just 27 years old. You know just as well as I he's a drop dead gorgeous guy. I mean half the girls in the class practically drool at him since he looks like he belongs in the cover of magazine." Aria said discreetly checking him out from behind her text book.

"What's so special about him that you're drooling over?"

Aria blushed.

"Do you know he has abs? I saw him stretch in class the other day and saw a distinct deep V line and caught sight of his abs when his dress shirt went up. Plus he put Royce in his place the other day when he caught him bullying weak Andy Lantern for lunch money.

Plus he drives a really cool car I mean I don't know if he can afford such a luxurious car on his average salary but, hey. He's what's not to like here?"

I was stunned Aria was into him like one of his fan girls, and I knew she was trying to make me fall for him but I shook my head at her.

"Lalallaaalala not listening!" I whisper yelled at her.

I went back to writing my notes, but Aria was on a mission to convince me and started poking me with her long green biro that had a small electrical bulb green flicker every time she jotted something down with it.

"Oh c'mon admit it. You like him. Despite his angry strict nature and the fact that he gave you a detention right now, you know you still like Chase." She teased poking me on my arm with her stupid bulb pen.

"You're not going to quit poking me until I admit it?"

"Nope."

"Fine, what do you want me to say?"

"He's hot and you know it."

"He's ugly and I know it."

I stuck out my tongue and laughed but Aria tickled me with her poking pen and I gave in, before my giggles got more louder.

"Ok, you crazy slut, he's hot and I know it!" I said with more assertation in my voice, pleasing her.

"Thankyou." She giggled poking me some more for fun. My silent giggles then erupted into strong laughter making Mr Chase look at strictly from his text book.

"Girls if I have to separate you two I will." Mr Chase warned with sudden rosy cheeks as he looked our way.

"Sorry sir." We said in unison immediately ducking our heads down back to our books, and concentrated heavily on writing our notes for Mitosis is.

So what if he was hot? Like I said before I had zero feelings towards him.

"He's so checking you out." Aria said catching him looking at me.

As I went to take a curious glance at him, Mr Chase averted his eyes and went back to his reading.

"Shutup Ari before I shove this crayon up your nose! No he's not checking me out, he's not that kind of teacher, you and I both know that!"

That I was sure of.

She rolled her eyes and I went on with my work when suddenly the classroom door open with a big bang.
