*Max*
“How’s your morning shaping up? It’s still early, didn’t sleep in?” Liz asks.
"No. I usually don't stay in bed that late," I tell her with a smile. Later than a weekday, certainly, but I'm not usually lazing about until noon like some ... Alex for instance, although he's up, too. I don't think I'm going to mention how much trouble I had sleeping last night after Alex's uncanny guess. Watching Liz, it really doesn't seem like she doesn't want me near her. Does that mean it's okay or am I just that bad at reading her?
"Alex is the lay-a-bed, but it seems that he's up, too. Lucky for us since it means pancakes today. Well, he said he made them for you but the rest of us are enjoying the extras," I say. If I didn't know for sure that Alex is head-over-heals for Isabel, something like this would have me thinking he was sweet on Liz -- again.
"I, uh, did talk to Tess and brought her up-to-date on the Isabel situation but I haven't seen Isabel yet. Is she any less upset this morning?"

This is lame but I wanted to make a quick post before I head out to meet my mum. 
ISABEL
After showering and changing into some fresh clothes, I linger in the room that I share with Liz unsure about what to do next. If I go back downstairs then I will have to face Alex and the awkwardness. I don’t want to do that. If I stay upstairs then its going to be painfully obvious that I’m avoiding him. I don’t want that either.
Damn! Why does life have to be so confusing and difficult?
I grab my sunglasses (because every girl knows how important sunglasses are when it comes to hiding your feelings) and head back downstairs. I hope that I can convince Liz to come shopping with me. I need to blow off some steam but I don’t want to go shopping by myself.

that wasn't lame, Ruby have fun meeting your mom
... maybe this is
KYLE
I have to admit, for a guy, Alex is a pretty decent cook. If I didn't know that he was into girls I'd probably think he's pitching for the other team but ... I know better.
"You know, those are really good, Alex." I say - partly because the silence annoys me and also to make sure that everything is cool between Alex and me. If not, then Liz and Max are nearby in case I need help.
"Thanks. You want some more?" Alex asks, tearing his eyes away from the pool where Liz and Max are talking. Wonder what's so fascinating about two people who are talking.
"Not sure, I must admit I'm kinda worried about poisoning since you aren't eating anything at all." I tease, briefly wondering if he had the chance to poison the food in the last minutes. No, Max was eating them too after all and so will Liz later on.
"That's because I'm not a breakfast person. No need to worry." Alex replies, a smirk on his face. "You know, for a jock, you are pretty paranoid."
"And you are way too confident for a geek, Whitman." I reply. "Anyway, some more would be nice, chef."
"Coming right up." Alex says and promptly brings me two pancakes.
"By the way, what happened to your face?" I ask innocently as he looks at me blankly and then I grin when he scowls.
"Funny Valenti, very funny. You don't think that the slight stubble makes me look mysterious?" he mutters and then glances to Max and Liz again. Weird!

(this is my lame attempt at writing something while on my lunch break.)
<center>~*~ ~*~ ~*~ Liz ~*~ ~*~ ~*~</center>
Max mentions Izzy, and I stop just outside the door. I don't think Alex needs to know what we're talking about. But now part of me wonders if he can read lips.
"I saw her earlier this morning when I was heading out to the pool and she was just coming back in. I think she just needs some time to sort through things. But she's fine, I guess. Things are a little tense between them," I answer as I push my hair back behind my ear. "That's how it looked at least when I came into the kitchen. I don't think either of them know what to do or how to act around each other." Well, that kind of sums up how I feel around Max. "She just needs to figure out where she is and how she feels. And then I think they can figure out where they stand. I think all she needs is some space and time to think. And no pressure. I think Alex is doing that for her."
"So Tess is awake?" I ask, fidgeting with the towel, holding it tighter around me. "How'd she take the news?"

Hey everybody! Here's my first Tess post...I tried to catch up as best I could...so if anything needs to change, just let me know.
~Tess~
I feel a little dissapointed, on two fronts, as Max leaves. First because it seems that so many things are going on just outside my reach, where I'm just on the fringes of them. And I don't know which irks me more, the complete debacle that is Kyle telling Isabel about Alex and screwing things up, or the fact that he made cookies with Liz. And the second is, that like all our conversations as of late, it was short.
I sigh slightly. I guess the next few days will really be tell-tale as to whether or not I need to really worry about Liz.
I know how he sees Liz, but I've always been fairly certain of how he's seen me too, so his admiration for Liz never felt threatening, until we stopped talking lately, until it felt like he was drifting, until I wasn't sure how he saw me anymore.
I put on the finishing touches of my make-up before heading downstairs. With any luck, I can see max for a few minutes during breakfast, if not longer.
I head into the kitchen and smile at Alex. It has to be really awful for him right now. But he's making...."Pancakes, with strawberries...can I have some?" I know he won't say no, but it's still polite to ask.

We have Tess! We have a playable Tess!
Yay!
La!
ALEX
"Pancakes, with strawberries...can I have some?"
I turn around in surprise when I hear Tess. Hm, she doesn't look angry about my crush not being a secret anymore. Cool.
"Why certainly, you don't even have to ask." I tell her with a smile as I offer her a plate with lots of strawberries and three pancakes. "Here you go. Enjoy!"

Awww, thanks for the welcome! I love playing Tess, she's always been one of my fav characters to write for.
~Tess~
Alex tells me to enjoy the pancakes and I wink at him,"Of course."
I know what little Max told me, but I'm not entirely sure on the breakdown of this whole Isabel knowing about Alex's crush thing. And needless to say I'm a little bit curious. "SO have you talked to Isabel, since..." I trail off, knowing he'll know exactly what I'm referring to. The whole house is all abuzz with it probably.
"Oh, and, good job on that by the way," I say sarcastically to Kyle as I hit him playfully in the arm. It's not the worst thing he could've done...but it wasn't the best either.
I see Alex's face fall and can't help but feel a little guilty. Moments before he had seemed happy, but maybe he'd jsut seemed that way. I want to say I'm sorry, but I'm not dumb enough to think that that will help, so I compliment him instead, on the pancakes,"These are delicious."
