Alright chapter 10! Like I said in the last chapter this is a mixture of peoples POVs although the chapter itself focuses a lot on CJ. Enough about that look forward to see what's going on.(^l^)
I do not own anything that looks familiar to you.
Third persons POV:
CJ raced down the hallway with tears threatening to fall. Her throat had a lump in it and felt constricted. She was utterly confused at why she was acting this way. Breathing heavily she turned the corner and ran into someone.
"Where yah going so fast Spiers?" CJ gazed up to meet Brad's eyes and smiled.
"Sorry I wasn't looking where I was going. "She wiped her eyes on her sleeves.
Brad became concerned. "What's wrong?"
CJ gave him a shaky look but reassured him. "I'm fine come on I think we have a band meeting."
CJ and Brad were both in the marching band as well as Jason. Both students walked down the hall, Brad with his elbow on CJ's head with her leaning into him. Anyone who knew them could tell that they were very close friends and that this was a sign of friendship but to one student teacher this was a sign of intimacy. He stood in the middle of the hall with his hands in fists, knuckles white. Morgan's mouth was set in a fine line and his right eye was seriously close to twitching. It took everything he had to hold back the urge to shove Brad out the window and drag CJ to the nearest janitors closet. Yes he was one jealous man and he also felt really bad about yelling at CJ. He hadn't meant to but he was upset that she wasn't even glancing at him in class. He expected her to at least pay some attention to him and not in the acedemic way. Morgan scratched the back of his neck and sighed. He would be glad when the waiting period was over.
CJ's POV:
It started out as any other morning except instead of Charlotte with her nose in a book it was mine. That book I picked up the library was a book on mythical creatures. It was pretty rare for me to read heavy books but I always liked folk lore. Since Charlotte reads all the time in class I didn't think it would be a problem. I was wrong. I had gotten to the part about harpies when the *slap* of a hand resonated through the room. I lifted my head to see Morgan glaring at me in anger.
"MISS SPIERS! WHATEVER IS IN THAT BOOK IS NOT MORE IMPORTANT THAN ME!" He practically roared at me.
I flinched at his tone. I've never seen Morgan like this and frankly it scared me. His eyes were wild and if I hadn't known better I would have thought he growled at me. Such an animalistic display from him got the wheels in my head turning. That bright light I saw in the library, the fact that Nathan has no existing identity, and now this little spectacle. Besides that I saw Thomas and Lillia making out earlier through Ariya's binoculars. That's not strange but as soon as they kissed I noticed a weird sign appear above. I was astonished like what the hell was that? I don't know if it happened when Russell kissed Megan I'm ashamed to say I was too busy laughing. They all seem connected but how? The bell then rang and I skedaddled out of there as fast as I could. For some reason my chest tightened and all I could think about was Morgan. I took several deep breaths before turning the corner. I accidentally ran into Brad who reminded me we had a band meeting. He talked to me a minute which really calmed me down. We left for the band room in a comfortable silence. The band meeting ended quickly and I had a little research to do. Heading to the library real quick I found a secluded area where I could read. Digging in my bag I found the mythical creatures book and set to find a specific creature. I wasn't too familiar with all the creatures but I knew the basic ones and scratched out all the ones I already read about. It was really slow going and my stomach growled after awhile.
"Shh I'll feed you in a little bit." Rubbing my tummy I got up to walk to the door when something caught my eye. Hiding behind one of the book shelves I silently crawled near one of the tables. Sitting there were two figures, Charlotte and Christopher. Both were leaning over a book in between them. Slyly I watched as Christopher slid his arm around Charlotte's shoulder drawing her in closer. He got his face real close to hers and just before I was going to stop them the librarian came and told them off.
"There will be no canoodling in this library Miss Goldman unless you want a phone call home." With that the librarian flounced away. I was dying of laughter and nearly knocked the shelf over for flopping all over the place. Right on librarian I couldn't have done it better myself. Canoodling pffh. I started chuckling again. I was sure nothing would happen with Charlotte and Christopher for awhile so I left to grab a sandwich. A hand shot out of nowhere and pulled me into an empty classroom.
"Mmph!" My mouth was covered but I struggled and landed a kick to their knee. They immediately let me go. Swiveling I saw my capture.
"Next time we rendezvous can you not inflict pain on my bodily parts." Holding his knee with both hands was Morgan.
I crossed my arms frowning. "There will not be a next time as you put it so make this quick."
Morgan's face saddened considerably at my declaration. "You don't want to see me?"
Resisting his sad face I answered unmercifully. "Not particularly."
"Ugh." Morgan dropped to his knees and crawled into a fatal position. Panicking at the fact that he might be sick I dropped to the floor and gently touched him.
"Are you okay? Whoa!" Morgan locked his fingers around my wrists and bringing me to him. "Hey!" I tried slipping away but he grabbed my waist tightly. I was still squirming when I heard him whimper. I froze, letting him hold me. Morgan sniffed my neck and hair before settling in the crook of my neck. He took several deep breaths before nuzzling me.
"Sigh." A sigh of content came from Morgan. He still hadn't removed his face from my neck yet.
I blushed like crazy before shoving him away from me. I got up quickly and moved out of the room leaving a speechless Morgan behind. Once in the hallway I was flagged down by the ever so popular president of the bird watchers club.
Garrett Winters had to have been the most hottest boy in school. Short spikey blonde hair, ice blue eyes, and dimples to boot. Not to mention he was the basketball teams star player. He had some weird fascination with birds which is why basically half the female population is in the bird watching club. Hey I'm not going to deny that I seriously thought about joining.
"What's up Garrett?" I asked as casually as I could.
Garrett strolled up beside me and smiled warmly. "I was wondering CJ if you mind helping me with a project that involves eagles? I have some feather samples I want under a microscope."
I laughed a little as it would be about birds. Well it's not like I have plans right now. Except I never got my sandwich.
Pouting a bit I asked. "Can we grab some lunch first?"
Garrett's smile grew wider if that's even possible showing off his fantastic dimples.
"Yeah we can come on." Gently he steered me towards the cafeteria.
Lillia's POV:
It started out like every other day, me going to feed my mice and then heading to school. I had math first period in the morning. Yay! Not. It's not like me to be negative but I detest math. With a passion. The only good thing about this class was-...
"Hello Miss Lillia!" I turned around to see Thomas running to catch up to me.
I greeted him with a smile. "Hey Thomas. You know you could just call me Lillia instead of miss?"
Thomas blushed and continued walking. "I-I-I know."
"He he." I giggled quietly at him. He's just too cute.
"I am?" Thomas stopped moving and faced me. Uh I said that out loud?
Flustered I hastily rushed to find a suitable answer. "Well you see uh you're uh..."
Staring intently at my shoes I mumbled. "Yeah you are."
Thomas's face lit up and he took my hand. "Come on Mi- I mean Lillia!"
Dragging me half way across the campus, I was finally brought to the edge of the school field. "Thomas what's wrong?"
He finally stopped and gripped my face. His cheeks were bright red and he looked like he was about to cry. He whispered something like 'I'm sorry.' Before slamming his lips to mine. My heart begin to beat in my ears. *BA-DUMP* *BA-DUMP* Thomas's movements were a little sloppy so I'm guessing this is his first kiss. Aw how sweet poor boy. Call me weird but I researched this kind of thing. I slowly moved my lips sensually along his and he got the idea and stopped being frantic. When we broke apart he starred at the ground embarrassed.
"Um I- that- was uh..."
"That was your first kiss right?" I said grinning at him.
Thomas became sheepish. "Was obvious wasn't it? I'm no good at this sort of thing. It's more like Captain's and Eduardo's expertise."
I tilted my head in confusion. Captain? But I moved on to the matter at hand. "Don't worry about it that was my first too."
Thomas looked shocked. "But you seemed so good at it I mean... I didn't mean it like that! Um uh-"
I grabbed his hand and rubbed the back of it with my thumb. "It's ok come let's head back to class. By the way you never told me-"
As we began to chat along comfortably Thomas noticed our hands were still connected and squeezed mine. I squeezed back.
Megan's POV:
I was hanging out with Russell during lunch when I felt it. He was talking with one girl and she was starting to get a little to touchy for my liking. She grabbed his bicep and Russell was trying to gently shove her off when my hand slammed on the table. Everyone's head turned to me. I was standing and my neck had gone beet red with anger. Realizing that I had everyone's attention I awkwardly announced. "Has anyone seen my car keys?" Nobody said anything or shook their heads. "No? Ok thanks I'll go look for them." Strutting out of the cafeteria I banged my hands against the wall. What the hell is wrong with me? Why am I acting this way? My stomach felt like it had ten thousand knots in it and my heart was painfully being squeezed in my chest. The feeling began to overwhelm me and I slumped to my knees. My vision started to blur... "Megan!" That voice seems so far away... total blackness then consumed me.
An hour or so later~
The first thing I opened my eyes to was a white sterile ceiling. Connected to the white ceiling was a pair of four white walls. And sitting in one of the chairs next to my bed was Ariya.
"Thank god you're awake!" Ariya ran over to hug me. Her eyes were all puffy and it appeared that she had been crying.
"What happened?" Man my voice sounded groggy.
Ariya fidgeted before taking my hand reassuringly. "I found you lying outside of the cafeteria. Russell came running just after I arrived and carried you here. The nurse said you fainted."
Oh yeah I remember know. The painful feelings I had before returned. "Are you okay?" Ariya stood up suddenly concerned. "Do you want me to call the nurse?"
"N-No," I croaked. "Where is Russell now?"
Ariya smiled slyly at me. "He's been waiting outside now since he brought you here. The nurse wouldn't let him in so he cut class to stay here."
I smiled what a doofus. Russell has stayed here the whole time. Energized I got out of the bed and walked to the door.
"You're supposed to be resting!" Ariya cried. "I will in a minute." I waved my hand at her I had something or someone more important to tend to.
Third Person's POV:
Garrett and CJ entered the science room the latter munching on a roast beef sandwich.
CJ went into the storage closet grabbing a microscope. "So *smacking lips* what exactly are we looking for?"
Garrett brought out a couple of slides from his bag and laid them on the table. "I'm not quite sure. You see I found these and they look like eagle feathers except they are exceptionally large." Garrett pulled out several feathers that were well over a foot long.
CJ wiped her hands on her pants and grabbed one. "What the...?" Placing one of the slides under the scope she adjusted it for several seconds, then abruptly stopped. Lifting her head she asked a bizarre question.
"Did you spit on this?"
Garrett was horrified. "What?"
CJ fixed a serious gaze at him. "I don't know how but these samples of yours have bird DNA, human DNA, and some other that I'm not familiar with."
"Are you serious?" Garrett pushed CJ aside and then yelled. "I DID IT I FINALLY FOUND IT!"
CJ slapped a hand over his mouth. "Will you stop screaming at the top of your lungs? What did you find?"
Garrett grabbed her shoulders. "CJ do you understand that I have just discovered a HYBRID?! A cross between two completely different species?! I will become the most famous person ever!"
CJ tore away from him. "You're telling someone?"
Garrett was raving like a lunatic. "Of course I am going to tell someone. And when I do they'll test everyone in this area to pinpoint my hybrid."
CJ glared at him before grabbing her bag and walking towards the door. "I know you're passionate about birds but this *emphasizes him* is a whole new level."
CJ was whistling a random tune when certain thoughts hit her. A whole entourage of hot men arrive at school. They all take a very quick liking to specific girls. They are all hiding secrets and now this hybrid business. What does it all add up to? Oh my god it's been obvious this whole time and I never thought of it. CJ dashed outside and ran to the media center. She needed an internet device NOW.
Wow it has been a while since I updated. I apologize for that. I'm working on the next chapter already so keep your fingers crossed and I should have it up by the end of this month or the beginning of January. Thank you to all those who are still with me!
Til next time
