Chapter 7- Being Jackie is a Mess!

Chapter 7- Being Jackie is a Mess!

I woke up to a watery sensation on my face. Water had some serious enmity with me. Did I ever tell it to be my alarm clock? It wasn't even 5am, I could tell.

It felt like someone was licking me. A soft, slimy object...

"Whoever it is" I murmured. "Get off my face right now or else... AAAAAH!!"

Two big eyes and a set of sharp teeth welcomed my eyesight.

The zoom in view was just horrifying!

'DOG!', I screamed out, getting away from the creature as I leapt off the bed. "There's a dog in the house. Mooooom!"

A moment later, the door clicked open and in came Mrs. Johnson, worry and concern pasted on her face.

For one moment, I just froze. This is not my mom!

But then, slowly everything came back to my memory- the wish, the transformation, the chat with Sharon's mum- and I gained my senses back.

"What is this dog..." I asked. "...doing here?!'

Mrs Johnson picked up the animal and cuddled it a little. "Don't be ridiculous Jack! It's your own dog. Rob was just trying to get your attention"

Oh yes, just great. Not only was I now Jackie Johnson, I also had a frikking pet animal. No, no- It's completely fine.

"Now go get ready for school. I'm going to take Rob out for a walk" she said exiting my room. "And don't forget to exercise"

I went to the bathroom and started brushing my teeth. And the mirror furthermore reminded me who I was now and what lies ahead in my life.

This wish is costing me all my peace...

Just then,a thought struck me. I don't know why it struck right at that moment but it was quite a serious one.

If I'm Jackie, then who is Felicia now?

There was only one way to find out: School.

I got dressed up quickly, had some breakfast and headed straight to the bus stop.

**************

"So today we are going to learn about globalisation, open your books to page fifty please" Miss Rosalie was lecturing in her I-am-teaching-you-because-HAVE-to voice. As if anyone was interested to know.

All the while I observed Natasha. There was no Felicia now, that was for sure. I didn't even exist. And Natasha had no best friend either. She would hang around with various people, especially Travis. But she would never talk to me. I knew why of course. She hated Jackie. She hated bitches.

After school was over I tried talking to her. "Natasha" I called. "I-I need to talk to you"

She gave me an amused look. "You want to talk to me? Well, I'm busy"

"Please"

She did not reply for a while and stared at me. She was probably thinking why I was talking so politely with her. "Fine. Start"

"Okay. First of all I....." I started saying but just then, I saw Beth (one of the bimbos) coming towards us, flipping her hair and whatnot.

"Hey do you have any plan today?" she asked cheerfully.

"No I don't" I said to Beth. Turning towards Natasha I said in a whisper, "Please come to my house at evening. I can't talk to you now okay? Try to understand"
