Roswell Fanatics

Ch 6

"Oh give me a break." Tess slurred before giving off a huge burp which sent everyone moving away from her. She had spent two hours in the club trying to order vodka and the bartenders were getting sick of her, trying to get her to leave.
"You're underage bitch." One of the bartenders told her. "Get outta here."
Begging for alcohol wasn't clearly going to get her some so she spent all her time drinking orange juice and coke. She was also an idiot for bringing in ID with her. She flipped the card and saw herself with a big smile. "Do you know who I am....??". She asked the bartender, pointing at him. "I'm-I'm..." She continously chanted, acting drunk. Maybe if she played dumb she'd atleast get attention.
"Somebody get this bitch outta ma face." The bartender snapped, backing away from the bleach blonde.
A pretty spanish woman who was also another bartender decided to come to the rescue. "I beleive you had enough. Please escort yourself out the building or you WILL be escorted." She said in her spanish accent, with two big guys backing her up.
Tess laughed. "Okaay. I'll go." Tess replied, taking her things off the counter. "All by myself again." She muttered to herself.
She decided to call it quits and head home back to nobody. There was no one waiting for her. Her father was never there, her mother...and everyone else seemed to be doing their own thing.
But she didn't go unnoticed. A guy licked his lips when he saw her and advanced towards her. "Hey baby, looks like you're bored." He purred, winking at Tess who stopped then smiled.

An hour later.....

They both drank hungrily from each other's mouths and she felt him rip her clothes as they were trying to rush into his apartment room. They just got through the door and into the bedroom. Tess didn't know how they ended in the bedroom straight away, she didn't even know his name. Yet they were getting on intimate terms with each other. She wanted this so much. She wanted to explore this world which she suspected that Liz, Maria and everyone else had experience. Maybe if she had sex tonight, she would officially become one of them.

The guy stepped back and undress himself quickly, taking of his belt dropping his jeans to the floor and his jacket along with his t-shirt dissapeared very quickly. He took his pants off and joined Tess on the bed to have sex with her.

"Oh fuck yes!". He shouted in pleasure as he finally came within seconds of fucking and then disengaged before she even knew what was happening. He shortly fell asleep, not caring whether she was okay or not. Tess lay in the bed, hurting down there but she didn't regret it. She had lost her virginity, finally with a smile on her face. Maybe she could get used to this.

Ch 6b..

The next morning...

It was a very important day for all of them today. Today was thursday, the day of the final basketball match between their school and another school. Kyle was more then prepared to win for his team and the rest of the gang was present at the game, cheering and hoping in time that their school team would win the trophy. "GO KYLE!". Maria loudly roared, watching Kyle dribble the ball and take another shot.
"AND HE SCORES!". Both Liz, Maria and Kara-Louise cheered, clapping in impression of Kyle's talent for basketball. All of them watched Kyle battle through the other opponents and with his mighty strength shot the ball through the hoop yet again, eventually winning for their school team. All of them sprang up, cheering in delight and hugging each other as Kyle's team mates cheered by picking him up. He was like the Cristiano Ronaldo of their team and stood tall and proud.
"Oh my god!, He won! I so totally knew he had that team spirit in him!". Maria sqeaked.
The defeated team were too embaressed to show their face and quietly made an exit from the gym while the gang and everyone else ran down onto the gym and hugged the basketball players in appreciation. The girls ran straight to Kyle, kissing him and hugging him. "Okay, Okay, I'lll get with you ladies later." He smiled, noticing that there was a whole bunch of girls lined up to kiss him.
He turned to Liz and Maria who had to push past the girls to get to him. "Hey, Mr Magnet don't forget about us". Liz teased her best friend, reaching out to hug him."Congratulations". Kyle swept Liz into a big bear hug and took Maria in to. "Hows ma favourite girls?".
"You better treat us out, now that you won." Maria warned. "I knew we'd be going out to Prague tonight."
"Don't worry, a man like me never backs down on his word." Kyle assured and then went to hug Kara-Louise. "Congrats Macho man, you finally did it." She said while they detached.
"Yeah I know-" Kyle gave a smile until on Sanchez jumped on his back. "Yeah man!."
"Oh alright, hahaha." Kyle laughed and turned to his teammates. "No more jump surprises." He said and they all lifted him up again, praising him.
The girls smiled and then noticed Tess waltzing in with her long curly hair and her usual clothes which consisted of a baggy black overalls over a white shirt this time.
"Heya." Tess greeted the girls in a high pitched tone and as soon as seeing Tess, Maria rolled her eyes and focused them elsewhere, not bothering to pay attention to the blonde.
"Hi." Liz answered back politely.
"Is that hair extentsions?". Kara-Louise asked, studying Tess's hair and on hearing this, Maria turned her attention to Tess, surprised.
"Yes." Tess answered.
"Hair extensions? Where the hell did you get them from and where they cheap?". Maria asked, noticing the hair extenstions in Tess's curly blonde hair. How did Tess manage to step her style up?
"Well umm, I was out this morning and brought these since I thought they looked really nice." She answered, twirling herself around once.
All three girls were a little surprised by Tess's new attitude. "Okaay, so why did you skip class to buy hair extensions?". Liz asked, arching an eyebrow suspecting that this girl was trying to impress Sanchez again.
"Welll." Tess said and stepped closer to the girls who were tempted to step back, the stench of cigarettes came off from Tess and surprisingly men's aftershave too. "I met this guy and..." She drifted off. "He gave me money so I could buy whatever I wanted."
"Don't be stupid!". Maria denied. No guy would ever get with Tess she thought. The cigar smell and the aftershave smell must have been other products from her father in his locked up cupboard which she might have sneaked around and stole money to buy hair extensions. She could just imagine it. Tess Harding making a living of her father's possesions in his absense.
"Wait a minute, who's this guy?". Kara Louise asked thinking the same as Maria. No guy could have ever wanted to gift Tess such things unless they wanted to escape her.
"I don't know. He wouldn't tell me his name." Tess replied, surprised even herself. "We met at the club, ended up at his apartment and ended up sleeping together."
All three girls were shocked. "Oh my god." Liz gagged, realising what actually happened. "Tess, you slept with a guy that you didn't even know?".
The other two girls were speechless, all of them were sick and ready to throw up.
"Wait..isn't that what you girls do?". Tess asked confused.
Kara-Louise almost attacked Tess in fury after hearing those words come out of her mouth. "How dare you waltz up here with your pathetic slutty hair extensions and assume all of us are whores like you?! I'm gunna give you a real good ass whippin girl!". She yelled, about to lunge at Tess but Liz stopped her in doing so.
"Don't!". Liz protested, holding back a furious Kara-Louise from knocking Tess completely. "Not here, not now." She hissed at Kara-Louise. Tess just looked at them in confusion and Maria wore a blank expression, was she hearing things right?
"Ah Liz lemme just punch that bitch's lights out right now!". Kara-Louise exclaimed, wanting to really give Tess Harding a bitch slap across the face. "How dare she call us whores?".
"Did you just say that you lost your virginity to some sleazey ass stranger in a club?". Maria asked Tess who couldn't reply. Her silence was enough. "Oh god, I think I'm gunna puke". Maria slowely shook her head and decided to head out the gym and into the girl's toilets. Liz let go of Kara-Louise who pointed at Tess. "You better wash your body and your mind, wash all that derrty shit off!". She snapped before she and Liz followed Maria out the room. Liz couldn't help but give Tess a few apologetic looks before leaving. Tess stood there, unable to say another word. So it was all wrong? What she assumed these girls did was never true and what she did was absolutely revolting.
She turned around to see everyone cheering. She wasn't in the mood right now. She had to leave.

Ch 6c..

Grabbing the bottle named sodium chloride from the rack in the far corner of the lab, Sanchez brought it to the table where his friends were all seated. It was a lazy tiring thurday afternoon and they had chemistry with Doctor Evans on their sixth period. All of them were tired by the excitment of the game and the after party at lunchtime to celebrate their sucess and Doctor Evans decided to make this day a pratical day. Messing and mixing chemicals around.
Liz decided to anjoy the rest of the day but sharing out her packet of M & M's with nuts. That was her favourite type out of the whole M & M group. "Kyle's so lucky that he's missing this." Liz said, munching on her sweets.
"Yeah. This experiment sucks." One of Sanchez's friends agreed while dropping in an iron nail into one of the solutions.
"Yo, pass da sweets please." Sanchez asked Liz, extending his hands for the sweets until Max had spotted the yellow packet of sweets and grabbed in instead before Liz could hand it over to Sanchez. In shock to see which insolent motherfucker had dared to be such a pain in the ass, she gasped when she saw Doctor Evans looking directly back at her. The nerve of that man...
"Rule number six, food, drinks and sweets are banned from the lab and any consummation of any of these will result in the offender spending a thirty minute detention after school cleaning the lab up." Max recited in a professional voice that even surprised himself after he heard the words come out of his mouth.
Liz and the gang thought he was too cheesy and Liz had to stop herself from laughing but sniggered instead. "You can have em Doc, it's not like I can't afford another packet." She laughed the matter off and everyone laughed with her.
"Well in that case. "Max smirked, thinking that two can play at her game. He walked over to where the trash can was and threw the sweets in the bin much to Liz's anger and dismay. She glared at him. Now she felt like slapping him one across the face. The whole class gasped in shock.
Max and Liz were practically at a standoff, neither of them willing to backdown. Where she was, she flashed her eyes in anger at him and he returned the same look.
"This was your final warning." He shrugged and went back to his desk. "There's no choice but to issue you a half an hour detention straight after this class." He pulled out a detention slip and began filling in the details.
"Shit girl, how are you gonna attend that trip at Prague?". Kara-Louise asked a fuming Liz.
"He's not gunna get away with this." Liz promised herself, ballings her fists up.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Ch 7..

She had never been so humiliated in her life. Issued a half an hour detention with Doctor Evans straight after sixth period. What a torture, Liz thought. While he was sitting there enjoying himself while torturing her by making her clean up everyone's mess. Oh she remembered that so crystal clear....

Half an hour ago...

Scrubbing the tables extra clean, Liz was silently cursing Doctor Evans. She worried if this was cramping her style. This was not the way she wanted to end up. Being tamed by Doctor Evans. She never had a detention. Well except once in her Spanish class but she smooth talked the teacher out of it somehow. With Doctor Evans, this was definetly not the case. She didn't even want to speak to him. He was walking around, inspecting every table and making her re-scrub everything which made her want to spray paint on all the tables, Doctor Evans is a prick and as if he heard that thought, he made her even wash the test tubes and clean the board.
"Liz, I can still see a speck of dirt on the table." He said, annoying her yet again.
She had rolled her sleeves up, making sure and taking extra care that her fine clothes did not get dirty otherwise she would have given Doctor Evans a day to remember. Her face was red with embaressment and rage.
"Doc, I told you I have washed every table twice." She complained, feeling like throwing the cloth on the floor and running out the room. Didn't he understand that she had a life of her own? Just because he was a miserable fool didn't mean he had to make her one.
"Apparently not." He stated, bending down and reading of a message encrypted onto the table. "Vans is a whore." He read and Liz blushed, remembering that she had written that not long ago and scrubbed the word 'Doctor' and the letter 'E' out but the last words were hard to rub off.
Without a word, she rushed to quickly wipe it off. "I must have missed it." She lied, saving herself even more humiliation.
"If you're going to be childish, it's only costing you more." He advised her. Who the hell was he to patronize her, she thought to herself.
When the detention finally ended. "One last thing Liz.." Doctor Evans said, stopping her in her tracks. "What now!?". She sighed.
"I hope this experience has taught you something. I don't want to see that kind of attitude again." He warned her. "You may go now."

Attitude. Ha!, Doctor Evans thought she had attitude when he was the one being the prideful stuck up motherfucker that he was. Liz was just Liz. Everyone loved her. She had to admit, she did have everyone wrapped around her little finger except Doctor Evans who was proving to be a rival for her. Well, he may have thought he could deal without someone like her but she could prove him wrong. She wasn't that kind of person who backs down. Ever.
She swung open the doors of the crashdown cafe and entered. The smell of food filled her nostrils as she collasped onto the stool at the bar. "Liz, there you are." Rosetta greeted her in her usual Italien accent. "What can I get for you?".
"A double cheeseburger and a huge chocolate milkshake." Liz ordered. "I'm gunna need it." She gasped, thinking of ways to get back at Doctor Evans.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Ch 7b

"Careful there sexy, you might burn yourself by playing with fire." Sanchez winked at a redhead who blew him a kiss as she passed him by.
"Eww." Kara-Louise scrunched her face in disgust. "She could be older then you, you know?".
"Or she might be younger." Sanchez sighed in passion.
"That's even more disgusting." Kara-Loise felt disgusted as she watched the slut clad in an ass skirt which matched her red burberry tie and wore white blouse, fishnest with stilletoes. This was one slutty hoe.
The gang arrived at the new club Prague at eight thirty sharp and made themselves welcome. This small party was to celebrate Kyle's victory who decided to treat them all out. "Hey guys, drinks are on me." He said as they walked upto the bar to order.
"Oh, I'll have a tequila." One of Sanchez's friends chimed in followed by. "A barcadi and coke, rum, appletini, ginger-root beer, pina colada, Pepsi and a lemon and lime."
While sipping on their drinks, Maria scanned the dancefloor for a possible candidate. She wished that guy Micheal was around until she caught him sitting alone at a table."Oh Liz!, there he is!".
"Who?". Liz asked, turning around to see a spiky haired dude sitting on his own, looking bored shitless. "Maria, what the hell? Go upto him!". She urged and giggled.
"Come with me." Maria asked her. "I wanna introduce you."
"Kay." Liz agreed and turned to the guys. "Guys, we'll be a minute or I'll be a minute." She dismissed them both and Maria took her hand, sqealing in delight in anticipation of seeing Micheal again.
By the time they got there, both girls were breathless and Micheal was surprised. "Hey Micheal." Maria gasped. "Didn't think I'd see you here."
Micheal smiled on seeing Maria. "Hey Maria. How's it going?". He asked.
"It's going good now that I saw you." She answered truthfully.
"Yeah I was just in the neighbourhood and wanted to check this club out." He nodded.
"Well, this is my bestest friend in the whole world. Liz." Maria introduce Liz to Micheal.
"Nice to meet you." Micheal smiled politely and extended his hand which Liz took and shook before detaching.
"Nice to meet you too Micheal." Liz smiled.
"So I take it that you guys have been living here since your childhood?". He asked.
"Born and raised." Liz confirmed. "What about you? Where you from."
"I live all over the place. Here and there." Micheal answered. "It's not easy being a foster child."
"Whoa, you're a foster child?". Maria asked, surprised.
"Yeah." He said. "I hope that doesn't change the way you feel about me."
"Of course it does. You're honest. Honest is sexy in a man." She said, finding him fasinating. Micheal blushed which allowed Maria to dominate with her confidence.
"Wanna dance?".
He looked at her. "Sure."
"I'll be at the bar." Liz told Maria. "Enjoy yourselves." She told them both before making her way back to the bar. Micheal and Maria took each other's hand and looked deeply into each other's eyes and before they knew it, they both were on the dancefloor dancing to sexy back by Justin Timberlake.
Who knew when the song ended and they looked into other's eyes again. Maria and Micheal feeling that ecstasy and a desire to lock their lips together. Closer and closer they got until...
"What the hell do you think you're doing with my boyfriend?". Courney's voice boomed so loud that it broke Maria and Micheal out of their trance.
Courtney had just come out of the bathroom and spotted some other girl trying to make out with her man. Her man and she couldn't beleive it.
Maria looked at the girl who dared to disturb them. "Boyfriend? Wait, Micheal is your boyfriend?". She said looking the girl form head to toe and realising this girl wore the most ugliest clothes ever after Tess Harding. She wore a white vest with ink blue jeans. She looked like a mechanic. Her hair was greasy and her eye makeup was coated in sweat.
"Yes."
"Ew, You're so dirty..." Maria commented and wrapped her arms around Micheal. "Tell me that that isn't your girlfriend." She told Micheal who was stunned and shocked. "Micheal?". Maria called, worried by his silence.
"She's my girlfriend." Micheal said quietly. "I'm sorry Maria." He said and removed her hands from him.
He walked away towards the table but Courtney wanted to give Maria a showdown. "You stay the fuck away from my boyfriend whore." She warned. "Or I will-"
Maria laughed which surprised Courtney. "Oh no need to bark bitch." She said. "The dog pound is just around the corner, do you want me to walk you there?".
Courtney gasped at this girl's insolence. "How dare you...".
"You need to be put on a leash bitch." Maria told her. "Otherwise people would be singing who let the dog out woof woof when they see you."
Courtney was even more shocked of this girl's rudeness. She had never met someone so rude like this girl standing before her. "Your mother should wash your mouth out with soap." She snapped.
"And your mother should wash yours out with dog food." Maria laughed even harder that she heard some bystanders even laughing with her. "Yeah how about that bitch?".
"Micheal let's go." Courtney demanded and Micheal instantly rushed at the scene, took Maria's hand and said. "Sorry about this. She loves to cause a scene." Before leaving with Courtney.
As he was walking out with Courtney, he turned around and mouthed. "Call me."
Maria felt a piece of paper in her hand and looked at it. There was seven digits on it, Micheal's phone number but she didn't know whether to smile or not....

Ch 8

Clicking on the name on the screen, Liz opened up the Facebook account to view Courtney’s profile. “Is she the one?”. Liz asked a fuming Maria.
The two girls stayed up all night at Liz’s place while Liz heard about Maria’s sob story. “Yeah, that’s the bitch all right.” Maria nodded, pointing at Courtney’s photo. Apparently Courtney was posing with a black rottweiler in the photo which the dog was being licked by Courtney giving off the impression that she was aggressive and revolting. “Eww, why the hell is she licking the dog to death?”. Liz asked pulling a face as if she had something really sour like bitter lemons.

“Because she is one.” Maria sniggered, sitting down next to Liz on the spare computer chair she had next to her.
Liz laughed at her statement and scrolled down, noticing something. “Oh look, here’s some information about her. “I love party, party and Mikey-G?”.
“Urghh, she’s even given him a nickname.” Maria rolled her eyes in disgust. “The dude’s obviously not interested in her.”

“Let’s superpoke her.” Liz said. “You can dropkick her or throw a sheep at her or something if it makes you feel better.”

“I’d rather it were real poke Liz. Seriously I feel like doing a matrix turn on that bitch.” Maria answered and Liz looked at her. “Oh what the heck, gimme the mouse, I’ll superslap the cow.”

Both girls giggled as Maria superpoke Courtney a few times before scrolling down onto a box saying ‘would you date me?’ and Maria pressed NO a couple of times before going onto an anonymous question box and typing in- ‘ARE YOU A DOG?’, ‘WHY DO YOU LOOK LIKE ONE UGLY DOG IN YOUR PROFILE PICTURE?’. Both girls started to laugh until their sides hurt. Then Liz decided to give Courtney a nickname via the nickname Facebook application and nicknamed Courtney- COURTWEILER.

Even if Maria’s name came up, they knew Courtney would not be able to thwart them. This was their town, their hood and any dogs would be kicked out. Starting with Facebook was a good idea…

Ch 8b

It was a tiring Friday afternoon and Max Evans had just finished marking the timed essays he had set for his morning class in his third period which was free. After that was over the bell rang and he was relived. Lunchtime finally.
He needed a break from all the eyesore work and unfortunately Liz Parker’s essay was the last he marked which he was very disappointed in. He wasn’t being mean but according to the mark scheme, her marks didn’t meet the expectations of her target grade which was supposed to be an A. Instead she received a low grade C, almost sitting on the top of a D.
He strolled into the cafeteria and grabbed a cheese and salad sandwich with orange juice before he sat with the teachers. He must have been the youngest member out of all of them he realised as Mr Carls patted a seat next to him, indicating Max should sit there.
“Doctor Evans, please do join in.” Mr Carls said, approving on Max already. “I’ve been telling everyone about you since you join the staff. Great work eh?”.
“Yeah, it’s been going great.” Max smiled politely and greeted all the other teachers.
“So you’re the Doctor Evans that everyone has been ranting about.” A vulgar looking red head middle age woman said from across the table, eyeing him with suspicions. After what happened with the last science teacher, she hadn’t particularly liked the idea of a another male substitute. The young girls attending here was at risk because of people like Mr Olsen and Mrs Berry hated men like that. How could she trust this Doctor Evans who seemed like a young and enticing man? Who might seduce young girls only to ruin them?
Max was feeling a little uncomfortable under that lady’s look, she was looking at him as vultures would look at a dying creature.
“They have?”. He asked, forcing the words to come out his mouth. The last thing he wanted to embarrass himself in front of his colleagues.
“Oh it’s not surprising on what happened with the last science teacher. You heard?”. Mrs Berry asked Max Evans.
“What happened?”. Max asked, realising this was the second time he asked a question. He had to avoid that.
Miss Carolina decided to answer that. “Mr Olsen was the teacher before you Doctor Evans. Umm, he wasn’t much of a teacher but a child molester.” She said in a polite tone which made Max feel much at ease but was shocked at what he heard. “We thought, we should let you know. You may find the students a little standoffish but they’re not to blame. I was with the victim when it was about to happen and you really can’t blame the poor students.” She said in a true sympathetic tone.

“Oh my god. That’s bad.” Max said, really astonished and feeling sick. “Where is he now?”.
“In jail, where he belongs.” Mr Carls answered. “Anyway less talk of that child molester and more talk about you Evans.”
“Yes I was about to say that.” Mrs Berry said. “Any particular favourite students yet Doctor Evans?”.
Max almost chocked on his sandwich, picking up the double meaning behind that nosy annoying lady’s words. “Umm not really.” He shrugged. “I treat them all the same.”
“Oh, speaking of favourite students, Liz Parker is in your class isn’t she?”. Miss Carolina asked Max. “Ohh isn’t she the best student anyone could ever have?”. She asked and everyone apart from Max agreed with her. Even Mrs Berry.

“She is the most brightest, enthusiastic wonderful student who adds colour and light to this school.” Mrs Berry nodded. “I’m glad there are people like her here.”
Liz was Mrs Berry’s favourite student and in her class last year before Mr Olsen. Yes Mrs Berry missed Liz and having regular chats with her but they always talked whenever they passed each other.
Even Mr Carls seemed to view Liz as very high and valuable for this school in his eyes. “Yes, even I agree that Liz is one of the best students ever.”

Max was surprised by all the attention that Liz Parker was getting. In his classes, she was always annoying. Doing things to piss him off intentionally or unintentionally. It seemed everyone saw past her ‘IT’ girl image and saw the nice part to Liz Parker which he hadn’t seen or missed.
“Um, I hate to say this but she didn’t do so well in the timed essay today.” He confessed and all their faces fell.
“That’s impossible.” Mrs Berry denied. “I know that girl and she isn’t a failure.” She said in a firm voice trying to dominate the conversation with her views.
“I think she needs to ask for help.” Max continued. “I could help her. I’m not saying she can’t do it. I just think she needs help with structuring her essays.”
“Whatever it is Doctor Evans, I’m sure you and Liz can pull it off. She’s always been a straight A student. Always have and always will be.” Mr Carls patted him on the back.
“Yes”. Everyone around the table agreed leaving Max stunned.

Ch 9

Rushing onto the platorm, Alex Whitman dodged past the busy crowd and hopped onto the train just before the two doors were about to close. He had just visited his father in alberqueqe yesterday on Saturday and had to keep up with the hectic time schedule, it only served to be more busy since his parents were divorced. He lived with his mother and little sister most of the time in Roswell, had to help his mother in her business as she was a sales representative for a fashion company called 'Perfection' which was a small time business that had Alex going around door to door delivering makeup products and brochures. It was like his part time job and since the company was spreading, he had to go out of town to do business and on top of that he went to university to research electronics as a voulentary course and of course, meet his father. Money was a big thing which Alex had to keep spending.
Gasping for breath, he found a seat and sat next to a girl with sunshine blonde hair, not exactly same as Maria's but a more darkish color. She looked at him and smiled before moving her bag slightly, allowing him to sit down next to her.
"Thanks." Alex breathed out before slumping next to her as the train set off.
"Nice coat." The girl commented by looking at the stylish trench coat he had on and he realised it was why he was feeling so hot. He unbuttoned a couple of buttons.
"Thanks." He smiled, nodding. Boy, did it get hot in here, He thought to himself, fanning himself with his hands which didn't go unnoticed by the girl sitting next to him.
"Here, this should help." She said, pulling out a chilled bottle of water from her bag. She had a spare unwanted bottle of water which only added to the weight of her bag and her shoulder was killing her.
"You sure about that?". Alex asked, as she practically gave the bottle of water in his hands. He felt releived when the coolness of the bottle cooled his sweatly palms. "Thanks." He said, wondering how many times he had said that. He hoped this girl didn't think he was some sort of dork.
"You're welcome." She said watching him uncap the bottle and drinking it. "By the way I'm Isabel."
When he finished drinking, he fastened the cap of the bottle and looked at her. "I'm Alex Whitman."
And the two had the same destination. Roswell.

****************************************
"Urghh, you guys are gross. Cut it out." Liz scrunced up her nose as Kyle, Sanchez and the two guys with them started to drink soft sugar free drinks from the drink machine at the counter of their local gym and burb after every sip. The two middle-aged women at the counter had highly dissaproving looks which didn't go unnoticed by Liz.
"Join in Liz." Sanchez tried to convince her before letting out another burp.
"Haven't you got enough burp buddies already?". Liz rolled her eyes and then Kara-Louise walked into the scene, letting out a loud burp which stunned everyone in the entrance lounge.
"Whoa girl, you sure know how to let one out." Kyle chuckled along with the guys.
Kara-Louise's response was a brief smile before helping herself to a free drink.
"Come on Liz, join us. It's not like you're drink jello shots." One of Sanchez's friends tried to convice her.
"I'm not having tasteless drinks and joining in your burp fests guys. No way." Liz protested.

She had just been working out in the gym using the gym equipment and went on the high before relaxing in the massage room and now just wanted to take a shower and go home. Maria was at home, swooning over that two timing Micheal who didn't even bother to tell her about his greasy girlfriend. Liz didn't know why Maria was even wasting time worrying about Micheal. He obviously wasn't satisfied with one girl. Liz was getting depressed of Maria's depression and she thought going to the gym with the guys might cool things off, of course Maria refused to go, making up excuses and pining for Micheal over his facebook profile. Nothing would seem to work unless Liz found a solution to Maria's problems. The more she kept Maria away from Micheal, the more depressed she'd get.
"Oh shit." Sanchez mumbled, Kara-Louise turned around and repeated Sanchez's words then Liz turned around to see what they were so worked up about.

Doctor Evans had just walked into the louge with nothing but sweatpants on and they all could see his washboard abs, muscular chest and at first Liz didn't even recognise him. He looked like some Justin Timberlake or something with a real hot body. Max's face was flushed, the strands of his dark hair on his foreheard was parted making him look sexy and his lips were parted.
"Is that..." Liz trailed off, none of them actually had seen Doctor Evans like this before. It was a bit too personal. On approaching the counter, Max noticed his students hanging around and Liz was there too.
"Hello." He greeted them, jut to be polite.
"Hi Sir." Sanchez nodded. "How's it going?".
"Not bad." Max answered. "What about you guys?".
"Ah nothing, just the usual." Kyle said. "Chillin." He added, resting his arm on the counter.
"I heard you won the game on friday. Congrats." Max said to Kyle.
"Ah thanks." Kyle said.
"Anyway have a good day guys." Max excused quickly and walked to the counter.
Liz looked at him before raised her eyebrows and smiled. She knew what to do and just found out the solution to Maria's problems.

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

Ch 10

Liz followed a quiet Maria into her living room and sat down beside her on the sofa. "Want some coffee or anything?". Maria asked and Liz noticed the exhaustion in her voice. "Because you know I have alot of latte's, expressons and decafs if you want any." Maria said and took the TV remote in her hands. Liz looked at the screen and noticed Maria was watching 'Desperate Housewives'. She knew Maria wasn't feeling okay.
"Maria, since when do you watch Desperate Housewives?". Liz curiously asked, eying the screen first then Maria. Micheal had definetly made a change in her, yes Liz knew that Maria would do anything to find her 'soulmate' but she wouldn't become a 'recluse' if she was rejected or anything. It made no sense, the happy chirpy Maria was now being replaced by a coffee obsessed desperate housewives addict.
Instead of replying her answer, Maria smiled and pointed at the screen. "Hey look, this is the bit when Gabrielle and Edie fight when the tornado is coming!, Go Gaby!". Maria whopped like a child and showed too much interest in the show.
"Seriously Maria, you're starting to scare me." Liz said in a quiet tone. "My grandmother and mother watch this show. You and me don't." Liz's voice stated, clearly indicating her underlying meaning. Maria stopped cheering and looked at Liz.
"This is so interesting. Seriously I mean there's this Tornado coming, lots of things are happeing-Edie is jealous of Carlos and Gaby's affair, there's this crazy bitch who want's to steal someone elses husband-Lynette-" Before Maria could continue, Liz raised a hand to gesture Maria to stop babbling. And so she did.
"What else did you watch?". Liz asked.
"Sex and the City, Kevin Hill and Judge Judy." Maria said with honesty.
"Oh my lord." Liz gasped in shock.
"And I watched some talk shows."
"Which ones?".
"Cynthia Macnarlo."
Now Liz was really shocked. "Maria it's Micheal isn't it?". She said after the long silence.
"It's ruined my rep hasn't it?" Maria bit her lip. "I'm begging to watch old women's shows."
"And..."
"And we only watch old women shows when we're manically depressed falling into a downward spiral and becoming like...Tess."
"Maria.." Liz said and took Maria's hand. "I didn't come here for nothing you know." She said. "You need to either get over Micheal or get with him. It's a win or lose situation." Liz told her.
"I'd prefer to win." Maria answered.
"Yeah, I know so I figured something out."
"Like what? The guy obviously chose that skank over me." Maria protested. "I cannot beleive a dog got chosen over someone hot as me." Maria bragged.
"Enough of that big head and listen." Liz urged. "You've only met this Micheal twice in a couple of days. You barely know him."
"Right." Maria nodded.
"But you're depressed, you like him.." Liz was cut off by Maria.
"Love him." Maria corrected her. "Love at first sight."
"Yeah whatever.." Liz rolled her eyes and then continued. "And I've seen the way he looks at you. Now it's not necessary for an observer to be present but it helps. The way he looks at you is..." Liz paused, trying to find the right words. Maria couldn't wait in anticipation.
"Is...?".
"He's eyes longs for you Maria. He looks like you're his kind of saviour. Getting with you might be a relief to him. He's probably in a sticky situation right now and trying to get out of it and you're the float which saves him from drowning."
"Ohh, saves him from drowing." Maria repeated. "I like that idea."
"So guessing or probably the situation is he wants to get rid of his girlfriend but lacks the courage." Liz explained to Maria.
"How can you read people so well?". Maria asked her in awe and wonder.
"I didn't date guys for nothing." Liz answered.
"Oh right."
"Anyway getting back to the matter, you have to press his buttons. You have to make him realise he'd better dump that Courtweiler and get with you otherwise you'd slip away from him and he may not get the chance again."
"Like a win or lose situation?".
"Exactly."
"So what exactly do I have to do?".
Liz looked at the screen and saw Carlos running into the house. She smiled. "I think we need to find you a Carlos."
"You mean the Carlos that works at the club? The hunk Carlos?".
Liz nodded. "Then you need to call Micheal, arranged a group date because me and Adam will be tagging along, you and Carlos and Micheal and Courtney. Micheal will get jealous of Carlos being your man, he will get more attracted to you and then you go in for the kill and Courtney will have no choice but to leave when she sees you two together." Liz wiggled her eyebrows.
"Ooh, Lizzie, you're a mean girl and I'm loving it." Maria's smile spread.

Ch 11

It was monday and already they were back again in their science class. Liz had just gotten her essay back from friday and a grade D in bright red ink stared back at her. She couldn't beleive it. She blinked. Looked at it again. The D was still there. "Oh my god..." She gasped. "I just did not get a grade D."
"Whoa, if you think that's bad. I got a U." Sanchez told her without a care in the world. "Who gives a damn."
"What did you get?". Liz asked the others and looking over onto Kara-Louise's essay. To her surprise, Kara-Loiuse had gotton a B, Kyle had gotten the usual C and the two friends of Sanchez both had a E. But still that didn't make Liz feel better. She was used to getting an A.
"Holy shit Liz, you can't have a D." Kyle told her. "It's impossible. You're always getting A's."
"I know." Liz grumbled looking at Doctor Evans who was returning to his desk. She pressed her lips together and clenched her fist. He had something against her. She knew it. Why did he always have to be so personal?
"I'm going to sort that piece of shit out." Liz muttered under her breath.
"How?". Kara-Louise asked.
"Bomb blast surprise".
"Oh.." Kara-Louise realised Liz's plan. Kara-Louise nudged one of Sanchez's friends in the ribs. "Ow what?".
"Go and ask for a bathroom pass, sneak into Doctor Evan's office, find his cell phone number, call him then pull the fire alarm come back and help us make the stink bomb." She instructed him and he nodded before putting his hand up.
"Sir?".
"Yes?".
"Could I go to the washroom?".
"Okay." Max said, already excusing him.
Liz smiled and looked at Sanchez who had already sneaked a glass beaker from the bottom cupboards near their table when Doctor Evans' wasn't looking. When he began writing on the board, then Kyle took the bottle of hydrochloric acid and then they heard a cell phone ring. Doctor Evan's cell phone.
"Excuse me." He said before leaving the room to answer the call. Liz and the others sniggered. Sanchez managed to sneak behind the desk and pull the draw before retrieving a strip of magnesium ribbon and magnesium oxide powder. Skillfully, he crept back to his desk again while no one else was looking. They poured some of the acid into the beaker before putting some powder in.
"Woo, it's hot." Kyle said, inhaling the fumes.
"Gunna be even hotter." Liz said taking the magnesium ribbon. "One..., two...three.." She said and then the firebell rang. Everyone got up and began making an exit for the door. The gang took this opportunity to put the beaker underneath Doctor Evan's desk and Liz put the magnesium strip in before they all grabbed their stuff and ran out of the room.

Max Evans who was being annoyed by the other person on the phone who was talking about some 'videos' heard the fire bell and put his cell phone off before running into the lab. Nobody was there so he assumed everyone had already left at the firebell going off.
On strolling to the hall which was occupied with crazy students, he pushed past them to get to his office. He went outside and was met with other teachers who tried to calm the other students down.
"What's going on?". He asked, almost dazed. The constant ringing of the alarm pierced his ears like a sharp siren.
"There might be a fire." One of them said. "We don't know."
Max looked around to see Mr Carls arriving with a look of anger on his face. "There is no fire. Some idiot pulled the fire alarm as a stupid prank." He said. "Probably to get out of a lesson or something." He paused and looked at Max. "Your class along with everyone is in the Tennis courts. That's where they all have to go whenever there's a fire alarm going off."

Max suddenly remembered something. "I have to go back inside." Before any of the teachers could stop him, he ran into the building and into the classroom. He went to the desk and something odorous filled his nostrils. He suspected the fire thing was a prank since the prank phonecall and prank fire couldn't be a simple coincidence. He held his nose with one hand and bent down, taking out a napkin to hold the beaker, he took the beaker out from under his desk and placed it in the sink before covering the sink with a wooden plank to stop the odour from escaping. Then he pulled out a air freshner and sprayed a couple of times.

He knew whose idea was this. He was going to deal with her later....

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

After the eventfull situation which had them all in stiches, Liz had a smile on her face. Doctor Evans would be spending the whole day wondering what that odour was, she thought to herself. The lesson ended and she couldn't wait to get out of here and spread the news to her friends for the late evening guicy gossip.

The bell rang and they all packed their stuff away and got up to leave until Doctor Evans called out Liz's name. "Liz Parker, could you stay back for a while." Liz was surprised at his tone, she looked longingly at her friends who was reluctant to leave her with Doctor Evans. Max Evans got up and walked over. "I think you guys should wait outside. I need to talk to Miss Parker." He said with an urgency that forced them out of the door. When everyone left, he shut the door and slowely turned to Liz, frightening her. Did the room drop a degree or two because it was feeling a little chilly in here, Liz thought, wrapping her arms around herself.

"Now, I must say I must admire your quick thinking." He said, smirking at her. Sending chills down her spine. He slowely walked to the sink near his desk, removed the plank and used a napkin to take the beaker out. Liz's mouth was wide open. How did he....?
"You must be wondering how I found this?." He said. "Do you want to touch it? Maybe it'll jog your memory on how it ended up under my desk in the first place." He asked sarcastically, wanting to make her regret it.

"I don't know what you're talking about Doc." Liz lied without batting an eyelid. "Wasn't me." She would look him dead in the eyes and say that because she refused to be scared or intimidated by anyone. This Doctor Evans wasn't going to get the best of her.

"Sure it wasn't you Liz because you had help." Max told her. "Your so called friends, oh don't you remember?". He said, changing his tone to be a darker tone. "One went into my office asking for a bathroom pass, called me talking about nonsense then pulled the alarm while your other friends helped make this solution with your idea then placed it under my desk before making a getaway." He said. "Did you think you were going to get away with this?". He asked coldy.

"Doc, I told you..it wasn't me." Liz insisted. "Perhaps you're mistaken, I would never-" In anger he cut her off.
"I should take this beaker and get some fingerprint matches of it should I? Yes, you're right. I may be mistaken so I'll get some proof first to see if I'm right, then if I do turn out to be right, Mr Carls and everyone else will find out what you and your friends did which perharps get you expelled from this school for negligence."

Liz was speechless. "You would do that?". She said in a quiet voice, shocked at him. She had definetly underestimated him. Everyone who crossed swords with her was defeated until Doctor Evans challanged her. She felt like the ball was in his court, but it only made her will stronger to take him down. He almost got her on the verge of tears and her vision blurred. But she refused to let the tears fall. She didn't want to be the one crying. She wanted him to cry of defeat. No one insulted her and got away with it.

By hearing her tone and seeing she was almost on the verge of tears, Max softened down a bit. Yes he may have wanted her to regret what she did but he didn't want to hurt her feelings and scare her. "Liz..I'm..." He paused, did he just call her Liz? And was he showing sympathy for her?

However she didn't seem to hear him. "Why are you so obsessed with ruining my life?". She said throught gritted teeth. "What have I ever done so bad to you that you end up being so biased and marking me with a D in my essay. You're taking it out so personally and you're a teacher, you're not supposed to mark me a crap grade because we don't get along." She said. She let all the repressed anger out. "I fucking hate you." She growled before running out of the class and slamming the door shut, leaving a stunned Max.

Did he just hear right?

Ch 12

"Liz wait up!". He called running after the angry brunnette who very reluctantly stopped just outside Mr Carls office. She spun around and face the tall dark haired guy who was chasing after her.
"What?!". She said, annoyed. "Don't try and stop me know Alex because Doctor Evans is gunna get it today..ohh yes he will." She said in a low tone.
They had been argueing about this for almost half an hour. Liz was so disturbed by Doctor Evans that she didn't think about the consequences if she had lashed out on him. Alex was even shocked that Doctor Evans had managed to put Liz under boiling point to say she hated him. Liz was usually cool and collected. But today was a different story altogether.
"Liz, just think about it. If you complain to Mr Carls about Doctor Evans then he's more likely to side with Doctor Evans who will have something against you like the whole stink bomb thing. This guy is praised wherever he goes, he's respected and your pride is nothing against his according to the teachers. Yes you may have gotten away with things in the past but Liz, this dude ain't a loser."
"Gee, thanks for making me feel like one instead." Liz said with sarcasm and folded her arms.
"No I didn't mean it like that. I just wanted to say, talk back to Doctor Evans in his language. He wants you to step it up, then do so. Don't let him win Liz. Cuz if you complain, it could be the end of your rep here."
Liz actually considered Alex's words. His words actually had some merit. Mr Carls was obviously blinded by Doctor Evans' facade of being the one goody two shoes of a teacher. She couldn't just simply throw in the towel and give up, she had to continue with this battle till the end.
"You're right actually Alex..." She said. "But I need help and lots of it."
"Don't worry, you'll get it." Alex assured. "In the meantime, just steer clear of being fired up by the Doc."
"Okay." Liz nodded and then both of them noticed Mr Carls arriving from the opposite side of the hall just putting his cellphone away. He looked at the two and smiled. "Ah, the school's most prized pupils. Liz Parker and Alex Whitman, tell me guys what can I do for you?". He asked politely.
"Umm.." Alex said, nervously looking at Liz.
"Oh Sir, we were just passing by and just wanted to say hello. That's all." Liz lied, shooting a glance at Alex. "Have a nice day."
"Oh, same to both of you." He said and took his keys out to open the door to his office. "If you guys need anything, don't hesitate to ask." He said. "Remember that." He opened the door and stepped in. "Have a good day guys." He said before shutting the door.
Liz turned to Alex. "You better help me."
"Don't worry I will." I laughed.
"Oh really?".
She began walking towards the door with Alex by her side. "Really really."
With her leg, she playfully kicked his ass before sprinting towards the doors and stopping for a moment to look at Alex. "Last one out the door is a rotten egg." She laughed.
Alex raised his eyebrows. "Hey not fair!". He said, running towards her and both of them ran out to the parking lot not knowing that someone was out there, watching them...
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Ch 12b

"Cool it Maria, Micheal will be the one hot under the collar when he sees you on Sunday." Liz shrugged, flipping through the pages of her favourite magazine 'Elle'.
"I'm trying to." Maria said, taking deep breaths. Maria had just got off the phone with Micheal after trying to convice him of a triple date. Micheal had sounded astonished as if Maria had lost her mind but agreed as long as he got to see her again. By the tone of his voice, Maria knew he didn't want to bring Courtney along.
"So Liz, let's talk about you know." Maria said, changing the topic. "I heard that Doctor Evans got to you pretty bad today."
"Oh that jerk." Liz said, rolling her eyes. "He threatened me today. Saying if I didn't stop trying to avenge him he'd have me kicked out the school."
"Oh god, are you alright?". Maria asked in concern, taking Liz in her arms.
"I'm okay I guess, a little shaken but I always loved a challenge." She smiled.
"That jerk." Maria scoffed.
"Okaay, you're talking like as if we dated or something." Liz chuckled.
Maria chuckled. "Anyway, marking you a grade D just because he dislikes you isn't fair Liz. Alex might have stopped you but this Doctor Evans seems so nasty. What are you going to do?".
"The thing is..I'm not really sure. I really really want to get my grade back on track." Liz admitted. "I so do not want to waste my energy on the Doc."
"So you're gunna ask for help?". Maria asked shocked. Liz never needed help.
"Looks like I have to..." Liz sighed, hating the idea of facing Doctor Evans again after today's dramatic ordeal.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Ch 13

"So thanks for the tour." Isabel giggled as Alex Whitman had showed her around Roswell. He assumed there wasn't much to show in Roswell apart from the bowling alley, Rialto theatre and cinema, the crashdown and a couple of clubs that looked good including the latest club 'Prague' which Isabel definetly wanted to go with Alex one day. Alex realised it wasn't the places that were important, it was the person you were with. With Isabel, he had never been so comfortable with a girlfriend. He felt like he knew Isabel for a long time althought he only knew a few facts about her. Isabel hadn't told him who her family was so he had no idea that she was the sister of Doctor Evans. Isabel loved Alex's personality, Alex was the kind of guy she knew she would get along with. He wasn't a jerk nor a jock. He was just perfect. She needed someone like him to spend her 'vacation' with.
He had booked her an apartment from the day they met on the train. She had stayed there on his behest, for someone like him, it was a bonus to see he had contacts. Yep, he was definatly the guy for her.
"Ah, it's okay." Alex scrached behind his left ear, he always did that when he was nervous. He hoped it wasn't annoying for the girls.
Isabel bit her bottom lip, she thought Alex was cute. "So...."
"So...". Alex nervously continued. Here they were standing outside her big brother's apartment door about to make out...??
His thoughts were interrupted by a press on the lips. Isabel was kissing him. Whoa. He didn't see that one coming. He kissed her back.
They slowely pulled apart, both wearing the same smile.
"I loved that." Isabel said in a husky whisper.
"Me too." Alex found himself saying. He only met this girl over the weekend and now he was getting on first base with her?
"Call me." Isabel said, raising her fist and about to knock the door. "See you later."
"Yeah, take care Isabel.." Alex breathed out, thinking that he would almost pass out with her sexy smile only meant for him. He had to force himself to turn around and walk away otherwise he'd be making out with her all day even in front of her unknown big brother. God knew what he was like, Alex silently thought to himself. He was interested in a girl who had a big brother. What a worry.
Isabel waited till she saw him go before knocking on the door. She didn't want her big brother thinking she was dragging other people into trouble. She knocked on the door and waited for a second.
Max opened the door. To his surprise he saw his little sister standing in the doorway. "Isabel?".
"Hello Max." She said folding her arms.
Max was very shocked to see her here. Had she really skipped school and ran away from home to here?
Without a word, Isabel stepped in the building and admired the place Max was living in. "Hmm, very homely. Why would't you want your sister to come and visit?". She asked, ignoring the look on Max's face.
Max silently shut the door. He knew what his sister was like. Althougth she had a tendency to follow him around, he knew she always got into the bad circles and got into a lot of trouble. She wasn't your average A grade student but she was a lot of trouble. Always getting into trouble, his parents had to compromise a lot with the school principles and now he feared this was the final straw. This girl was too insolent.
"You ran away from home, didn't you?". Max asked her, turning around.
"Yeah, so?". Isabel said. "Mom and Dad are barely home. Since I can't throw house parties or go to one, I decided to come here, see what's going on." She laughed.
"You know our parents won't approve. You're risking your future." He warned.
"Max, shut up!". She snapped. "Just because not all of us are university graduates with an extended course to boost our career up doesn't mean we're dumb okay?".
"Going AWOL and acting like a little brat isn't the answer to your solutions!". Max said, loud enough for Micheal to walk out of his room.
"Whoa whoa..what's going-Isabel!?". Micheal said in surprise. "What are you doing here?".
Max tried a lot to reason with her. "Listen Isabel, if you screw up now then there's no hope for you. We have tried so hard to get you back into school..."
"What if I don't want to go to school!". Isabel screamed. She didn't like her hometown. She felt so lonely there with no parents to go home to, superficial friends and a jerk boyfriend which was the cause of her leaving town. Her brother was the one person who she had. Now he was gone, she had nobody. So she decided to come here.
Micheal was watching the quarrel between brother and sister. He knew he shouldn't get involved but he knew about Isabel. But he wasn't going to side. Max was his brother like best friend, Isabel was also his friend but like his little sister. He had to bring them to a negotiation. To an understanding point.
"Listen, I think you both need to stop argueing. It's not going to get you anywhere." Micheal said. "Isabel, you need to go to school. Max, you need to calm down."
Silence.
"I need a beer." Isabel said.
"No you are not drinking!". Max warned.
"Don't tell me what to do!". She snapped back.
Micheal rolled his eyes. "Here we go again."
A typical evening with the Evans siblings.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Why thank u my dear, yes Liz and her friends are in danger. Hope u enjoy the next part.

Ch 14

Liz checked herself in the mirror again. She spent the last ten minutes preparing for her speech in the girl's toilets to Doctor Evans. She wasn't going to impress him but she wanted to fool him of thinking that she had changed into a blissfull young lady, she wanted to snigger at that thought. Yeah right she was going to be a teacher's pet. She applied the cherry lip gloss and brushed her cheek with a light touch of pink to finish of her makeup. Apparently according to Maria, pink on girls had the males species more interested. That's why Liz was wearing a dark pink jacket over a white tank top and wore a pair of black jeans. She had matching earrings which were pink and black stars which matched with her outfit.
"Okay, all you gotta to is walk in that room and smooth talk him. Apologize for yesterday and act like you mean it. Take deep breaths honey, take deep breaths." Maria advised.
"I am taking deep breaths." Liz snapped. "How long is this going to take anyway? I'm not going to display myself to Doctor Evans."
"You're not going to." Maria laughed. "Anyway you look so glam. He'd think you have been a very good girl."
"Your psychology is dumb." Liz joked. "Pink on a girl is too slutty. Seriously, I don't want to look like a barbie, thank god I'm not a blonde no offence." She told Maria who mocked a look of offence.
"Anyway, don't worry. As long as you're calm and be polite." Maria assured her.
"Calm and polite." Liz said, remembering Maria's advice from before. "Don't worry, I think I can handle that."
Liz took one more look at herself to make sure there wasn't any flaws on her perfection. She pressed her lips together and then head towards the door. "Wish me luck." She told Maria.
"Good luck." Maria said, giving Liz the thumbs up.
With a smile and taking the deepest breath she ever had to take, Liz swung open the door and walked to Doctor Evan's office which was surprisingly just next door to the girl's room. Liz arched an eyebrow. Was it possible for Doctor Evans to hear things from the girl's toilets? The thought dissapeared quickly as she knocked on his door, waiting for his response.
"Come in." Came his reply.
Liz turned the door knob and opened the door. Liz stepped in. Max looked up to see Liz standing in the doorway. He had expected her to come soon after hearing her conversation with a friend in the toilets. He hadn't meant to eavsdrop but he couldn't help it as if office was right next to the girl's toilets. He decided he'd move his office but he was only here on a temporary contract so didn't bother. One part of him wanted to hear Liz's thoughts about him and the other respected the privacy in the girl's toilets. He was amused on how much gossip actually happened there. It could sell thousands of magazines full of scandal and rumors.
"Hey Liz, come in and take a seat." He offered. She closed the door and silently walked to the seat infront of his desk. She acted very wary of him.
"Hey Doctor Evans." Liz said in a forced voice. "I just wanted to apologize for yesterday. I'm sorry I shouldn't have reacted in that way, it was totally immature and wrong of me." Liz said, almost in a rushed speech. She hated apologizing. She really did. It made her feel...inferior. She hated feeling inferior.
Max smiled at her. For the first time he actually smiled at her. "It's okay Liz. I'm sorry too. I shouldn't have singaled you out like that. It wasn't entirely your fault and I should have cut you some slack. I understand. I'm really sorry."
Now Liz was surprised. Why was he apologizing and her doubts about him eavsdropping their conversation came into mind. She wasn't sure how to react to that. To his amused smile, she assumed he had heard and she cleared her throat and straightened up.
While she was trying to fix her posture, Max took the time to notice her. Strangely and very oddly he found her to be beautiful. This Liz, his student who was so annoying and aggravated him suddenly turned so pretty and he actually saw her close up for the first time. It was also the first time he even felt this about a girl. Yes, he had seen pretty girls before but none were as pretty as Liz. She had this natural beauty about herself. Her cheeks looked so soft, her dark brown waterfall of a hair which his fingers suddenly itched to touch and those plumpy lips which he...
"So sir, I also wanted to ask you for help." Liz said, watching him cautiously. Was he even paying attention?
"Oh." Max said, dazed. Did he just have a fantasy about Liz and he found that the room was hot.
"See, the thing is I am not doing as well in this subject as I should be." She introduced. "So I have tried every possible solution and the only way out of this mess is to ask you for help."
"Of course Liz, that's what I'm for. I'm actually glad you came to me." Max said, finding his words also had a double meaning.
Liz took her right leg off her left leg and bent forward. This was going to be easy she thought. "Exactly sir, you're the only one I can count on for help in this subject." She said, resting her arms on the office desk.
"You think so?". He asked amazed.
"Sir, I'm sure you can work wonders. Your help will be like a diamond in the rough." Liz continued, trying not to laugh. "I thought to myself a million times that you are very helpful. You can help me to acheive an A. I understand everything now. So when can you help me?". Liz said, making sure he felt privelged in her comments. The best way to persuade someone was to butter them with false compliments.
"Umm..." Max said, clicking the screen on his laptop. "I have to check my schedule..." He murmered while searching for when he was actually free. "Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday lunchtimes."
"Great." Liz lied with a false smile. That would take up most of her social time. But if she had to be a geek for some time to acheive that grade A, she would sacrifice some of her repuatation and in return her grade A will add double to what she had lost. "Perfect. So I guess we'll start from tommorow then?". Liz asked, getting up from her seat.
"Yeah, tommorow." Max said, mesmorized by her shining dark brown eyes. The way they glittered in the sunlight....
"Thanks Doc, you're the best." Liz decided to pay him another made up compliment as she walked to the door. "See you tommorow." And she left.
Max watched her as she left. He was frozen stiff. What had happened? Was he falling for Liz Parker?
