High School; Woes and Foes

Chapter 2; Lucy, You Got Some 'Splaning to Do!
If some one were to look inside the classroom that the meteorite crashed into, they also would have seen an alien mummy thrashing around, grabbing at its bandages like it was trying to tear them off. Said mummy would eventually give up and rest in the exact same place that Jack sat down before getting turned into this…thing. 'Figures,' Jack angrily thought. 'First, I nearly get killed by a giant space marble. Then I get some watch go Alien on me and latch on my wrist. Finally, I get turned into the Curse of the Mummy after fiddling with the dang thing. What else could wrong?'
After drowning in 'woe is me' self pity, Jack began to wonder, 'I wonder what this guy can do'. It just made sense to figure out the abilities this guy has if Jack was going to be stuck like this forever.
Jack looked around the room, trying to find something he can test on. Finally, Jack spotted a water bottle on someone's desk. It was too far for him to just stretch his hand out to reach. 'Unless…' Jack mused.
Jack began to reach out his hand to see if he could grab the water bottle. As figured, he couldn't reach it, even with the mummy's oversized arms. 'Come on,' Jack thought. 'Do something, anything.' Just as Jack finished this thought, his 'fingers' began to unravel from his body, slowly heading toward the water bottle.
'All right!' Jack thought. 'Now were talking!' Still, even though he 'fingers' managed to reach the water bottle, grabbing it was a different story. The bandages just seemed to twitch in the direction of the bottle and that was about it. 'Come on, grab it,' thought Jack.
After several failed attempts at grabbing the bottle, he finally managed to grab it. "Sweet," Jack said to no one in particular. After retracting his hand, water took a drink from the bottle. As he put the bottle on the ground, he suddenly heard a very familiar voice, "Jack, are you in there?"
Jack's eyes widened. 'Oh, crap! It's Nicole!' Panicking, Jack looked around the classroom big enough to hide an alien mummy. However, no matter were he looked, everything was ether to small or obvious. That left only one option. 'I hope this works…' Jack thought, ass he stretched his hands out to the ceiling. After finding a small hole in the ceiling, he began retracting the hands, only now he was being pulled up. Just in time to, as when Jack was safely on the ceiling, Nicole entered the room.
'Please hang on,' Jack pleaded to his alien body. 'Please, oh please, oh please hang on.'
Nicole continued to search the classroom, repeating his name over and over. In a way, Jack wanted to just let her find him; tell her that he's okay. But in this form, Jack couldn't just drop down, say "hi", and expect to get a hug and a kiss. However, his new body was beginning to wear down from hanging upside down for so long. 'Come on!' Jack screamed to himself, 'Just a little longer…'
His body though, finally gave in, and Jack fell to the ground with a rather loud 'THUD'. Nicole yelped in surprise, and turned around to see what made the noise. Jack could only look in horror as she gazed at the mummy creature in front of her.
"AAAAAAAIIIEEEEE!!"
"Nicole, wait! It's me, Jack!"
"GET AWAY!" Screeched Nicole, and tried to karate kick Jack in the area that would probably count as the mummy's stomach area. However, when Nicole's foot was inches away from connecting with Jack's gut, the bandages suddenly split in and a hole appeared just as Nicole's foot reached him.
'Whoa!' Jack thought, 'Didn't know I could do that.'
Nicole could only watch wide eyed as Jack's body separated and reassembled almost right in her face. "Nicole, it's me, Jack."
Nicole looked at him dubiously, as if she was trying to use magic to figure out if this mummy in front of her really was Jack. Finally, a look of shock registered onto her face. "Jack?! Is that really you?" She asked.
"Yeah, it's me."
Nicole continued to look at Jack a few seconds before her eyes rolled to the back of her head and fainted. Jack caught her before she hit the ground. 'Oh boy,' Jack thought. 'Looks like I got some explaining to do…'
"I see…" Mr. Evans said.
Jack, carrying the still unconscious Nicole on his shoulder, had snuck through the school to get to Mr. Evans' room, which was fortunately empty except for the teacher himself. After assuring Mr. Evans that the mummy standing in front of him was Jack, he spent the next few minutes explaining exactly what happened.
"So, let me recap to see if I got all the details," Mr. Evans stated. "A meteorite crashed into your class room. It had an alien watch in it which attached itself onto your wrist and refused to come off. Finally, it somehow turned you into this freaky alien mummy, and you don't know how to turn back into a human."
"In a nutshell," Jack answered, "that's exactly what happened."
Mr. Evans sighed, and ran his right hand through his short graying hair, his left arm limply hanging at his side. He hadn't been able to use that arm ever since he gotten in a car accident a long time ago. "Well, I'm not sure exactly what that thing on your wrist is but, I'm betting that the meteorite that crashed into you classroom wasn't a meteor at all, but some kind of escape pod."
"An escape pod?" Jack questioned. "Why would an escape pod be empty except for the watch?"
"I have a theory that that watch has more to it than meets the eye, Jack," Mr. Evans responded. "I'm willing to bet that that watch is a powerful weapon, and whoever was transporting it obviously didn't want it to fall in the wrong hands."
"So, you think whoever was after this watch was responsible for the escape pod?" a voice behind Jack and Mr. Evans said.
Jack yelped at the sudden voice and turned around to see who was talking. "Nicole?! You're awake!"
Indeed, Nicole was up and standing in front of Jack. "Yep, and I still see that your still that freaky mummy thing."
"How long have you been awake?" Jack asked.
"Long enough," Nicole responded. Her face lighten up a bit. "When I heard Danny bragging that he shoved back into the classroom, I had to go see if you were alright." Nicole brushed aside some of her black hair out from her face and continued, "I never would have imaged that you would have turned into this... thing. You should know better than to mess with things you don't understand!"
Jack was stunned at this remark. "How was I supposed to know that this thing could turn me into an alien?!" He asked angrily. "The thing didn't come with a manual that said, 'don't push this button if you want to stay as a human!'"
"Well how are we going to change you back?" Nicole asked. Just then, a symbol resemble the face of the watch on Jack's right shoulder be began flashing red and beeping. As everyone looked at the symbol, a flash of red light engulfed Jack, and when it disappeared…
"I'm me again!" Jack said excitedly. Indeed, Jack was back to his human form, whit t-shirt, blue jeans, brown hair and all.
"Looks like the thing has a time limit to how long you stay as an alien," Mr. Evens observed.
"Yeah, but look," Jack said, pointing to his wrist. The alien watch was still attached to his wrist. "I just tried getting it off, and it still refuses to detach itself."
Just then, Mr. Evans' computer beeped, signaling that the school had sent a message to every teacher in the building. Mr. Evans quickly read the message, and turned to face Jack and Nicole. "Looks like you two are going to get a week long break," He said. "They're going to try and repair Mr. Macalin's room, and it should be ready in a few days. In the mean time, Jack, you probably shouldn't mess with the watch until we know exactly what it is."
