ALEX
Everyone rolls his eyes at Kyle's comment, Tess being the only one to answer. "You have issues, Valenti and this is getting old!" This lead to a discussion between the two about what she meant with that comment.
"You all right?" I ask Max and Liz, motioning to the cameramen who were watching the three of us like hawks.
"We're fine." Max answered. "I doubt that we'll get problems."
"Great." I sigh. "The guys shopped for the evening - burgers and such stuff."
"Uh, are we even allowed to have a fire on the beach? I mean, I heard that that's not allowed everywhere." Liz said, making all of us think about that for a moment.
"No idea." Kyle said. "But Maria didn't seem to believe it would be a problem."
"Maybe we should call her?" Michael suggested, looking quite pleased with himself for some reason.
"Not me." Kyle immediately said, "After my last call, I'm afraid she'd bite my head off. And don't asked." He told Max, Liz, Tess and me when we looked confused.
"Isabel's with Maria." Tess mused for no reason - or so I thought. "Why don't you call Isabel, Alex and let her ask Maria?"
"What?" I asked perplexed. I mean, I want to talk with her but ... right now? What am I supposed to say?
"Yeah, you could tell her that we couldn't reach Maria's cell and tried hers." Max suggested with a smile.
"I don't know ..."
"But we need to know whether we can have a bonfire or not!" Tess pointed out with a grin. In fact, all three traitors - Max, Tess and Liz - were grinning at me.
Okay okay, I wanted their help so they aren't traitors but hey - I'M under shock!
WIth a sigh, I pull my cell phone out, "Anyone having her number?"
"I have it!" Liz says eagerly, telling me the number by heart which is rather impressive since we only know each other for about 2 days and I don't even know everyone's family name.
Dialling her number, I wait for Isabel to answer. Max and the girls watch with immense curiosity while kyle and Michael look on more uninterested. Finally, Isabel answers. "Hello?"
"Uh, hey Isabel. It's Alex."
And why am I not surprised to hear her groan when she realizes who called?

just curious - what was the 'p-word'? I lost track... 
btw - I didn't think your post was too long at all.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
*MAX*
I'm glad the cameramen seem to be satisified with our poor excuses so far, although I 'm sure they'll be keeping an extra close watch on us now.
Of course, then Tess came up with the perfect pretense for Alex to call Isabel. I hope she doesn't just hand the phone over right away. Alex will have only a very short moment to make a good impression. I hope he can pull it off.
I give him a nod and a 'thumbs up' sign as he dials and I wait with the others to see how it turns out.

A blah and quick part, I have a whole load of essays to write so I'm sorry if I've been slacking on the RP front.
Trude, I got your pm and will pm you back as soon as I have a bit extra time!!!! Sorry for keeping you waiting.
Isabel
“Are you planning on buying one?” Maria asks as we look through the bikinis.
I shrug “I don’t know, I was thinking about it. What do you think?”
“I think….” She starts but is cut of by the ringing of a cell phone, once again we both go searching for our cell phones.
“Hold that thought! Its mine,” I state and frown as I look at the caller id. I have no idea who it could be. Maybe its Jake, oh I hope its Jake. “Hello?”
“Uh, hey Isabel. Its Alex,”
I groan and mouth to Maria that its Alex when she gives me a questioning look “How did you get this number?”
“Um Liz gave it to me,”
Why? Why would Liz gave him my number? What the hell have I done to piss her off?
“Why are you calling me?“ I ask bluntly. Ugh this is beyond annoying.
“We were just wondering if it was okay to have a fire on the beach and….”
I cut him off “And why would you think I would know this?”
“Well you’re with Maria and since Maria lives around this parts we thought that she should would know.”
“Why didn’t you just phone her?” I ask, god no doubt Witless Whitman never thought of talking directly to Maria when he could make my life hell.
“We tried but we couldn’t get through to her phone,”
“Hold on a second” I order Alex as I turn and to Maria and ask, “Check your phone Maria, have you got any miss calls, or is it out of range or something.”
“No, its all fine. See.” She flashes the phone in front of my face.
“You’re lying! You didn’t try and phone Maria. Why are you lying Alex?” I ask wondering if I should just hang up and tell my phone off so that I can attempt to enjoy the rest of mine and Maria’s shopping trip.

“You’re lying! You didn’t try and phone Maria. Why are you lying Alex?”
Shit shit shit! What should I say? I look helpless at Liz and Tess who shrugh their shoulders, not knowing what to say because they can't hear what Isabel and I are talking about.
"We did try to reach Maria but it didn't work." I tell her but I doubt that it sounds convincing.
"Yeah sure." Isabel snorted and well, ... I doubt that I would have believed it if I was told that.
Without thinking I replied, "Okay, you got me. I didn't even try to contact Maria. I was ... I was just so desperate to hear your lovely voice again, that I ... just *had* to call you. I hope you can forgive me one day."
Tess, Liz and Max who all stared at me shocked. Well, Tess soon started to shake her head and muttered something about "unbelieveable ... ruining all of my work ..." and so on.
Isabel isn't replying. Oh my God, did I really say that? Oh no! She'll think of me as obsessed now. Please Lord, let her believe it's just a joke. Please! God, why am I so stupid?
"Well, does Maria know wheter we can make a fire or not?" I aks after some seconds of silence, hoping Isabel would forget about my comment and also about why I called her and not Maria.

It's all I can do to prevent myself from just throwing my hands in the air, although I do roll my eyes. I can't believe Alex is throwing this opportunity away like that. I don't know what Isabel's end of the conversation is, but I can't see how a sarcastic confession like that would be helpful.
He finally just asks about the fire permit. Hopefully we'll at least get some useful information, even if Alex did just torpedo the Isabel campaign for now. Should have known it was too early to trust him on the phone with her.
I see Tess is equally perterbed, so I put a hand on her shoulder, offering sympathy and support. "We'll salvage it somehow," I whisper to her. "Isabel hasn't seen the new clothes, yet."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
*MICHAEL*
I can't believe how hyped up everyone seems to be about the fire. What's the big deal? Seems to me that if it weren't allowed, someone would have said something by now. And if they didn't, better to just go and do it and claim ignorance later.
I'm not even bothered by the way Max cozying up to Tess or the way Liz is looking at him. I know I got a plan now. It might need some fine-tuning, but I'm gonna sort this out a bit. I can hardly wait.

"Okay, you got me. I didn't even try to contact Maria. I was ... I was just so desperate to hear your lovely voice again, that I ... just *had* to call you. I hope you can forgive me one day."
I begin to choke, oh please god say that he is being sarcastic. I was not expecting Alex to say anything even close to what he just said but seriously should I be surprised? I mean its pretty obvious that the guy is a geek and really he wouldn’t be the first geek to discover a strange obsession for me. I mean nearly every guy in high school wanted me and not much has really changed since then.
I’m still Isabel Anderson. Am I being too egoistic? God all this thinking is making my head hurt.
"Well, does Maria know whether we can make a fire or not?" I hear Alex’s voice in my ear, damn I had forgotten that he was still on the phone.
“You know what Whitman, you are unbelievable!” I state before shoving the phone towards Maria and stalking off.

I'm not happy with that but ... well ..
ALEX
“You know what Whitman, you are unbelievable!” Isabel fumes before she hands Maria the phone. Maria is calling after her but I can't make out Isabel's reply. Maybe it's a good thing that I can't hear her.
"Hello? Alex, what did you say to her?" Maria asks me. I turn slightly away from Max, Liz and Tess, I'll have to face their rants later, no need to see the way they're looking at me.
"I just wanted to know whether we are allowed to make a fire on the beach and Isabel kinda started being a bit ... snobbish and my reply was ... uh, sarcastic and I guess she couldn't take it."
Did Tess just growl?
"Uh hu, she really didn't take it well, believe me." Maria confirms. "You two should try to get along, you know. But to answer your questions, yeah, fires are allowed. I better go see how Isabel's doing before she starts tearing the shop assistant apart. Till later."
"Bye Maria and thanks." Feeling Tess stare daggers in my back, I add with a sigh. "Tell Isabel that I ... didn't mean what I said and that I'm sorry."
"Sure, bye Alex!" And with that, Maria's gone.
I wonder if I should pretend that she's still on the phone so I don't have to face the wrath of Tess.
"We need to talk Alex!" Tess says, suddenly right next to me, almost making me jump in surprise. Almost!
I look at Max and Liz who look sorry for me and also a bit amused while Tess ... well, I wouldn't want to meet her alone in the dark the way she's looking right now.
"So, what's up?" I ask cheerfully after I took some steps away from Kyle and Michael, so that there could be at least a bit of privacy.
KYLE
Something's going on. I'm sure of it. I mean, there must be a logical explanation why Max, Liz and especially Tess were watching ALex like a hawk during his phone call. The fire surely can't be that important.
Even I have to raise my eyebrows at Alex's comment and Tess ... well, I wouldn't have thought she had such an evil look in her. Who would have thought her to be such a fiery one? Have to keep that on mind and ... maybe I can get her to be less interested in Evans and more in me.
Watching her talk to Whitman angrily, I have to wonder if she's in bed this hot too.
A quick part cause I gotta take my cousin to school!!
Isabel
I glare icily at the sale assistant “What part of the word assistant don’t you understand? I mean really its hardy brain surgery is it?”
“Madam, if you would just wait a minute I’ll just out back and see if we have the dress in red”
“Wait a minute? Hello I do have a life and every minute I waste here is a minute I could have been using looking in a different shop, where the assistants actually want to help me!” I state, okay so I’m a bitch but what do you expect? Alex really gets underneath my skin. He’s just so annoying.
I’m so sorry Madam!” the sale assistant says quickly before she rushes out the back
“What’s going on?” Maria asks as she joins me
“Nothing,” I state looking at my nails. “So what did Witless Whitman really want? Or did he just feed you a couple more lies?”

great part 
KYLE
Michael and I watch Tess talk very animated with Alex who doesn't look very happy, Max and Liz are mostly watching them too, sometimes adding a few words to Tess' monologue. I look at Michael who only shrugs back, so I guess it's up to me again to gain some information.
"Hey Alex! Can we have the fire or not? What did Maria say?" I yell over to them.
"The fire's fine, no one will have a problem with it." Alex answers. "You need help with anything Kyle? The food or ..."
Before he can finish or I can answer, Tess interrupts Alex. "Kyle is fine, Alex. He won't need your help! Right, Kyle?" she flashes me a cute grin, before turning back to Alex and continuing their discussion.
"Too bad she's with Evans." Michael tells me quietly.
"Huh?"
"Oh, you liked like you like Tess, so it can't be fun for you to see her with Evans." Michael explains before walking into the house, leaving me to either watch the others or follow him.
With a shrug, I walk into the house behind Michael.

I shrug my shoulders casually, "A whole lot of nothing," I inform her with a sigh, it's not as if she cares .... right? "He hardly made any sense at all." I tell her, wondering why she'd been so huffy to the sales assistant, but then remember I should have expected it, it is Isabel Anderson after all and I don't have to spend a year with her to know just what that means.
"So, Isabel," I start, "Find anything?"
Short I know, but I gotta go
