Liz is ahead of me and yanks the door open for herself not waiting for me.

"Look Liz... I'm sorry for everything." I sigh. I guess is the first time I admit to her that I've known about our problem.

"Can you forgive me for being a jerk?" At that moment I feel like I'm 17 again when we had a major fight and then made up for it.

"I guess I've been wrapped up in everything else I stopped acting the way I used to."

~LIZ~

I take a deep breath and close my eyes. I suddenly feel very tired and very old. Giving him the best smile I can although I know it's a little bit sad. "I don't think either of us have been paying much attention to each other lately. Max..." I start to try to talk about our problems right here, but then look around and shake my head. Looking up at him again I change my mind. This is not the time or place and I say so. "Max, this isn't the right place or time to discuss what's been going on but we need to. Maybe after we finish here, we could go somewhere and talk...if we don't have to track down the kids that is. Would...would that be ok?"

OCC: I hope it’s ok that I moved past first period. Roxie was really getting bored. BTW, do you need someone to play Jesse? I didn’t see him on the character list. What’s the story you want with him and Isabel?

~ROXIE~

I’m staring at the second hand, counting down the seconds when the bell finally rings and I leap out of my seat. I walk to the water fountain and refill my bottle. Hey, when you have the power to control water, you learn pretty quickly that it works better if you stay hydrated and have water with you at all times.

Moving through the masses, I make my way past Chris’ first period door and look for him ahead of it between that classroom and the biology room. When I reach the door, however, and duck my head inside, I notice that Chris isn’t there. Frowning slightly, I pull back out of the way of the door and walk around the corner. Pulling out my cell phone, I text Chris. “Hey, outside bio. Where RU?” I send him.

~Chris~
"I know, but she didn't have to follow him," I reply to Sarah.

Just then I feel my phone buzz in my pocket. It was a text message from Roxie. Ahh! I totally forgot about Bio.

She said she was outside bio andwanted to know where I was.

I text her back, "Sarah, Angel, and I went to do some research. Cover for us, please."

Then, I send the message. I really hope my parents don't find out about this.

~ROXIE~

Cover for them! Oh, they so owe me! Not only does Ms. Hardy, the biology teacher, know that we're good friends but I still don't know what's going on! What is going on with everyone today?

I debate whether to turn invisible and leave school and join them to help but then I see mom and dad duck into the principal's office. Uh oh. That can't be good. Sending the same message to all of us "podlings" as I jokingly refer to us sometimes, I hope that my siblings at least are in the building or we are all so dead.

"Attn all! M and L just went into Principal Walters' office. Just a quick warning!" I put away my cell and realize that sneaking out right now might not be a good idea. I'll do my part by trying to do some damage control.

I can't help thinking about my parents as I slide into my seat at the lab table in the back. I get a flash of my mom sitting in this same seat and making googily eyes at my dad and normally that would have wigged me out but today it just makes me sad. I realize that my parents have never really had a quiet and peaceful life and all they've ever wanted to be, at least dad anyway, was normal. I've noticed the way they don't spend much time together because one or both are always in the Crash or they're busy with one of us or some other reason and I find myself wishing I could do something to help them. I try to make myself feel better by pointing out that we try to keep an eye on the government to prevent any alien crises before they can happen but I wish I could do something more.

I nod my head at Liz as we walk in to the Principal's office. You could tell he was surprised at the fact Lor was skipping. With Leo of all people.

To tell you the truth I wasn't so happy when I found out they were dating. What was even worse is that I was the last one to find out they were dating. I don't know how Liz feels about it but I'm not too happy about this whole situation.

I think they're going to call Maria or Liz may call Maria and tell her. Who knows how this will turn out?

(OOC- just posting Serena's bio thought she needed one and I'll be back later sometime to do her first post! sorry it's taking so long!)

Serena Jade Valenti (Gets called CJ from Kyle)



Age:34
Major Power: Empathy
Minor Power: Energy Balls

She's the younger hip mom. Who fell inlove with Kyle when she 17 and he was 21, they married when she was 18 and had Nina was she was 19. She's a very caring and nurturing mother but doesn't let Nina wrap her around her finger like she has Kyle. She's a stay at home mom but works with a lot of charity work. She and Nina have a great relationship and Nina gets older Serena has started to get clucky again. Serena was fully human but because of having a child with Kyle who is part alien (from being healed by Max) she developed powers. While she was pregnant with Nina, Nina passed on some of her developing powers into Serena.

I look over at Max who has his jaw set and I know he's mad. He was upset when he found out Lor was dating Leo. I knew about it because I had caught them kissing in the back room of the Crashdown and confronted them about it. I know that Leo can act a little too much like Michael but he's a good kid and I had hoped that Lor would be a good influence on him. Lor had begged me not to tell Max. She said she would tell him. I reluctantly agreed and I know Max was mad when he found out I knew already and hadn't told him.

Now I have to wonder about something. "How do we know she's skipping class? I mean just because she's missing and so is Leo doesn't mean that they're skipping. Maybe Lor got to feeling bad and left and she's at home or something." I try to point out other possibilities although I know that the chances are slim.

"I can call Maria and find out if she knows anything about them," I offer.

OCC: Thought I would introduce Jesse and Isabel into the story somehow.

~JESSE~

I sigh as I look at the picture of my family that was taken when Sarah was born. I carry it with me every time I have to travel out of town on business along with another picture of Isabel and one of Sarah. I love my girls but my marriage is far from happy really.

When I married Isabel, she kept a huge secret from me...that she was an alien. The way I found out was my wife was shot and started...um short circuiting. That's when Michael told me the truth and I was so upset. I was angry and I was hurt. Isabel and I argued for a long time over and over about it. I felt that she had lied to me so I couldn't trust her and that she obviously didn't trust me because she hadn't told me the truth. I pointed out that no relationship can be real and true and stand the test of time without trust as an important part of the foundation. She argued that she hadn't told me to protect me from "the alien abyss" as she put it and that she had always just wanted to be normal and have a normal life as my wife.

We went back and forth for a long time but still tried to make our marriage work. We had some really good times and then we found out she was pregnant with Sarah. I was scared. I didn't know what to expect and we obviously couldn't go to a doctor. Max, as with the other children helped to watch for the baby's health and acted as a psuedo-doctor and things looked good. We were both so happy when Sarah was born and things were looking up. But then Isabel got that post-partum depression and was angry at me for being gone to work a lot. That brought up a lot of arguments. I'm a lawyer; I can't just abandon my clients and I have to provide for my family. As Sarah grew up and Isabel got better, things got a little better but the reasons for it make me sad. We started acting like our problems didn't exist. Isabel would pretend that everything was wonderful and we were a normal happy family. I go out of town a lot for court appearances, research, seminars, and other "lawyer things". We pretend until something trips us up and we argue again and we're not doing well until I come back from a business trip and Isabel pretends it never happened or something comes up with Sarah that makes us united against a common enemy...whatever that is.

Right now, I lean back in my seat in first class and look out the window of the plane to watch the clouds. I'm on my way to Newark. One of my clients is supposed to be adopting a baby from China and I'm headed to the Chinese embassy in New York to finalize the adoption and the paperwork and make sure things go smoothly. I love this aspect of my job. I love helping good people. I just wish I knew how I could help myself and my family.

~*Nina*~


At this very moment I wish I had the power to alter time. Because if I did I would make this class over so I wouldn't have to be under the watchful eye of Mrs. Wilson. It would save me alot of headache.


I look over at Jake who's just shaking his head and smiling. Mrs. Wilson likes him. He had the preppy go get it kind of dad who did what he was supposed to in school. Not so lucky here.

"Hey Jake", I whisper and look over at him. "Do you think you can bring me to practice a little early today? One of the girls on the team wants to introduce us all to her older brother who just flew in from college".

[Corina Star]

~Jake~
"I guess," I reply.

I feel maybe a little jealous because I like Nina. She sweet, nice, and is awesome at sports. What's not tolike about her?
