Summary: Liz is the school's beloved sweetheart rebel who has it all- good parents,cool devoted friends,the hottest boyfriend, talent, respect, everyone loves her and praises her. What happens when she meets her match???
Author's note: I'm so sick and tired of Liz being portrayed as a mousy geek, so I'm experimenting how the story would be like if Tess was the geek and Liz was everyguy's dream and everygirl's idol. This was going to be a teen story but since it contains some elements of sexual references, I changed it to Mature. This story was inspired by Gossip Girl.
**************************

Prologue (Liz's POV)

Have you ever thought that you don't need nothing else in life? Have you ever felt like your life is already complete then find out there's something missing but you don't know what?
I, Liz Parker have everything I ever wanted. Good parents, loyal friends, the hottest boyfriend, everyone's respect and basically everything a girl could ask for, well quite. If I wasn't stuck in the town I live in.
Welcome to Roswell high, the school which is like the capital of Roswell which tourists deem as the temple of aliens, which is absurd if you ask me. Here, instead of Alien's ruling, I rule. I am the queen, president and leader of this town. Everyone one here either wants to be with me or be me. I may be the daughter of a cafe owner but I am who I am. That is, me Liz parker of united states, future godess of all 50 states. Lol, I'm only joking. My uncle is rich, filthy rich. He's my mother's older brother. Kal. He's a movie producer but my parents like to keep it on the D-low. Me, I use that to my advantage. When I leave school, I'll move to LA and probably with luck, I'll get my own masion, I always wanted to be rich and famous. I was born in LA but my parents raised me in Roswell. I have no complaints but my dreamplace is Los Angeles, hollywood. I guess uncle Kal's influence rubbed off on me. Don't get me wrong, I wasn't always the confident queen that I am now. I used to be the exact opposite. A shy, bashful girl who was really hardworking in her classes. I changed from that to a prom queen. Don't ask me how. It just happened. I still am a good student, I changed from a C grade to an A grade. After freshman year, I became everyone's messiah.
I kinda like it. I hope I have everything. My parents and three best friends- Alex, Maria and Kyle mean the worlds to me. And my boyfriend...he's everything I want in a guy. All I worry about is losing the people I love and the respect I have.
Should I worry about who I am? and what I haven't got?

Liz Parker xoxo

Ch 1

"Does that feel good?". Maria Deluca purred in his ear seductively like a foxy vixen, with one leg up on his waist . Beads of sweat were appearing on his forehead. He answered. "Yess..."
Mr Olsen, a 46 year old man who had two failed marriages was finding this eighteen year old blonde so irresistible. She was sexy, hot and sexy. Her voice drove him crazy. He wanted her. He wanted her bad.
Maria giggled. Loser.She thought. This man was definitely a PERVERT. While he was thinking about all the naughty things they could get up to, she was thinking of exposing him to everyone and getting him kicked out of school.
His fat bulges were such a turn off, and he smelled like he needed a good bath. The man had no sense of style or never seemed to hear about aftershaves. If his face was a mess, Maria didn't want to know what down there looked like.
Then with a sudden move, she pulled him on top of her and screamed out loud. "What are you doing?". Mr Olsen panicked, scared out of his wits of Maria's unexpected move. What was she doing?
"Oh help!, get him off me!". Maria cried out and everyone rushed into the room.
Mr Carl, the school's principle stormed in first and was angry at the sight of it. "What the Mary and Joseph is going on!?". He demanded.
"Mr Olsen tried to sexually harass me!". Maria cried out, attempting to push Mr Olsen of her. A few outraged teachers pulled him off Maria who was in a state of shock, of course no one new she was faking a drama but she would do anything to get Mr Olsen exposed.
"What-I, I didn't do anything!". Mr Olsen protested, scared shitless after being caught red handed. Maria being a drama queen wasn't helping. She betrayed him. He couldn't think straight.
"Save it for the cops. Call 911 guys, get this loser out of our faces and behind bars." Mr Carls said, disgusted of Mr Olsen. As he was being dragged away, Mr Olsen gave Maria an angry look.
"Are you okay?" A young female teacher asked Maria, wrapping an arm around the sobbing female who hid her face in her hands.
"Oh god..." Maria continued to sob and hugged the friendly teacher. "It all happened so fast, Mr Olsen said he wanted to help me with my coursework and before I knew it...h-he, he was over me like some animal". Maria bursted out crying even more.
"Don't worry, that man will be behind bars faster then he could say guilty." The teacher soothed Maria who was really enjoying this drama...
"Come on, let's clean you up." She said getting Maria up on her feet and all the female teachers in the room went to help the eighteen year old girl.
"I can't believe this shit." Mr Carls cursed with his hands on his waist. "How could I not see what a child molester he was?". He paused and said. "Cradle snatcher."
***************************
“Girl please” Kara-Louise laughed, “You hit him down like skittles.” The afro-American girl praised Maria. “You can sure bowl jerks like him down.”.
After when the school ended, Maria and her friends ran over to Ben and Jerry's ice-cream parlour for a good gossip, The ice-cream parlour was their haunt, they'd all meet up to talk about latest news while devouring their yummy Ben and Jerry's ice creams.
Maria had three best friends who she saw as her own family while the rest where people who she got along with like Kara-Louise, Sanchez along with his group of friends and of course, Tess (The tagalong geek). With her blonde curly locks and icy blue eyes, she could have passed as a blue eyed Paris Hilton but the mismatched neon pink sweater and the Scottish Burberry baggy trousers could only spell out Disaster. It was like a homemade version of the Hottie and the Nottie . Tess was always following them around like a puppy dog. Maria would have kicked her out of their gang long ago if Liz hadn't had the heart made of out gold and let her hang out with them. However mean Liz seemed, Liz always softened. Maria knew Liz would never let anyone suffer for no reason . Even if she hid that soft side of her with a hard hearted look.
Liz was like Ben and Jerry's ice-cream, the hard tasty chucks on the outside and the soft melting cream inside. She was hard to get, all the guys would battle a dragon for her and still she was out of their league. So Adam was lucky. Adam West, who had been dating Liz for two years was the luckiest guy on earth. He was also incredibly hot and made girls drool over him, but they knew their distance. No one messes with the Queen's man. No one. Liz still had authority over everyone that knew her. Even the teachers.
Maria smiled. "That man had it coming to him, everybody knows that he looks down every girl's skirt when they're not looking. The perv."
"If I had my way, I would have knocked the shit outta him." Kyle growled, knowing that Maria was almost victimised by a serial pervert, his blood was boiling. He hated it when guys disrespected girls. Especially if it was Maria and Liz being treated like dirt, he would not take it. He loved both of them like they were his sisters. He knew them since he was born.
Kyle was the macho man out of them all. He was the angriest but he was also funny and open minded. He was cool and would lay his life on the line for his loved ones. And there was Alex, the computer expert. His jokes were so funny that he made everyone laugh until their sides hurt and he was really good at fixing computers and working on technology. Each of them had an individual asset which they contributed towards the group. Maria was the aromatherapist/adivisor plus she knew how to act, Kyle was the fighter/Mechanic- he was also popular with the cool gangsters and could hook them up by taking them to expensive places etc.., Alex was the Technician/ joker- he was always handy and a neccesary part of the group and Liz who was the level headed one, the strong independent young girl who was very intelligent and always saved their necks. She was a quick thinker.
They all stuck together no matter what.
"I would have paid to watch Kyle lace Olsen up." Alex laughed.
"Me too." Sanchez agreed along with two of his friends. The three of them were Hispanic and great dancers. They were backup dancers for some famous artists like T-pain, Chris Brown, Cassie and Usher. They met the fantastic four at high school and so did Kara-Louise. Since that day, they were good friends and were part of the gossiping gang. Kara-Louise had style. She was most remembered for her great dress sense. Maria kept on urging her to be a model until she finally took the plunge and ended up on the front cover of a teen magazine called shout.
Kara-Louise was grateful for the gang's support and dedicated her time to them. She was now working with a modelling agency for Revlon and Max Factor.
"Well, now he's out the picture we don't have to worry about some perv checking us out while we're working." Liz announced, tucking into her half baked cookie dough and brownie icecream.
"You're so right." Tess chimed into, trying to scoff down her fossil fuel ice-cream.
"I'm just worrying about the next one, I really really hope we do not get a pervy teacher like Olsen ever again. "Kara-Louise stated. "Oh lord help us."
"I don't think Mr Carls will ever hire a cradle-snatcher again by the looks of it." Maria exhaled as she relaxed. And she was very sure that their next teacher would be nothing like Mr Olsen, or hell they all were hoping so.
********************************************

Ch 2

One week later..

"What the hell is this? Why are you auditioning to be a clown for?" Liz Parker asked the stick thin girl next to her who was known as Tracy Mcfield, another obsessed fan of Liz's. Liz was looking at the photo's that Tracy had took for modelling and had given to Liz to judge. Although Liz was a little mean, what she said was true. Tracy was clad in silly bright colours which made Liz's eyes hurt. Even the lighting couldn't justify it. Big spots of colours everywhere, lines which caused a serious headache. It was a rainbow disaster. The girl had no sense of fashion and seriously needed to have an appointment with Kara-Louise.
"You think I look ugly?". Tracy asked her in disbeleif at herself. Liz was the one person who she could trust with her dress sense, Liz was the best dressed, the best intelligent girl she ever met. She was worried if she appeared as a stupid dumb girl who knew nothing about fashion whatsoever to Liz.
Liz on the other hand, instantly felt guilty about hurting this girl's self image. But she also didn't want to let out her soft side. So she said. "Tracy, Tracy, Tracy...how many times do I have to say, you're beautiful in your own way. Everyone is beautiful inside. You, you're very beautiful at art..these pictures say it all."
"I-am?". Tracy said as her eyes lit up with hope, maybe Liz was right. Maybe she was beautiful in her own way.
Instead of giving her false hope, Liz decided to help the poor girl. "But maybe not on dress sense. You need to tone down a bit. Try dark colours maybe black and dark purple?". Liz suggested.
"Thanks.." Tracy stammered, plastering a shy smile and taking the photo's back. "I owe you one."
"Don't worry about that." Liz smiled.
"Liz!". Kyle hollered from the other side of the hall, Liz turned her head around to see Kyle along with Maria, Alex and the rest of the gang charging at her, and all of them looked worried.
"What is it guys?". Liz asked, curious and scared to find out the news from them. By looking at their faces, she knew something was up.
"Liz you won't beleive this.." Tess gasped out. "We have a new science teacher."
At that moment, Liz froze. It was like the whole world was on a standsill. But she wanted to know more. "I'm listening."
"I found out from Mr Carls this morning, that out new teacher is a male." Kara-Louise notified Liz.
"Oh my god." Liz said, feeling goosebumps on her arms. "He's not old is he?".
"That's the problem, we don't know." Alex said. "But whoever he is, thank god he's not going to be my teacher." He sighed in releif.
"Well you may be lucky man, but think about us?". Sanchez said.
"Guys, it really can't be that bad?". Maria reasoned. "I mean, Mr Carls has enough sense not to hire some cradle snatcher again."
"Whatever, I'm not going to have some old motherfucker eye me up while I'm doing an essay." Kara-Louise said. "We can't trust no one no more."
"I know his name!". Tess randomly sqeaked out.
"What is it?". Liz inquired.
"His name is Doctor Evans." Was her reply.
"What?"." One of Sanchez's friends said. "If he's a doctor, what the fuck does he wanna work in high school for?".
"Exactly". The other friend of Sanchez's agreed.
"I knew it. He's old." Kara-Louise stated blankly. "I'm so gunna carry a gun with me."
"You won't need to." Kyle announced. "I'll kick the shit out of him if he tries to eye you guys up." Kyle said, looking at Liz and the other girls. "I ain't having no old man perve other you girls."
Alex smiled. "But what if he's young?".
"A Doctor? young?". Sanchez said, "Don't make me laugh."
"Well it can't be that bad can it?". Maria asked. "He's a doctor, he is experienced maybe?".
"Yeah." Liz scoffed. "Experienced sexually." She sniggered and the rest of them laughed.
"Yeah well he won't be daring to look your way, that's for sure." Kyle said, determined to keep his word to stop this shit happening.
"What time is your biology class??".
"Sixth peried." Tess answered.
"Great." Liz said. She had to wait four more lessons in agony, torture and anticipation, wondering if their new teacher was innocent or guilty.
*******************************************

When the bell rang, Liz gathered her stuff into her bag and left the classroom ready for sixth period. She spent the three hours in torture, worrying about her new science teacher. She didn't care if he was boring and nice, it was the hedonistic side that she was more concerned about. It was always the quiet ones you had to watch out for. Mr Olsen was quite obvious. Everyone knew that he was a straight up pervert. It wasn't difficult to get him kicked out of school and thrown into jail.
"Hey Liz, we're about to see our new science teacher for the first time." Tess Harding chimed, trying to catch up with the brunette and battling her way through the pushing crowd. "Mind if I walk with you?".
"Of course not." Liz answered. "How are you feeling about this?".
"I guess I feel a little scared, but who wouldn't be?". Tess chuckled before wiping her mouth with the corners of her sleeve. Liz saw that and felt a little repulsed. Then she caught a sniff of something a bit to smelly from Tess and put her at a standoffish state. Liz kept a distance from Tess. "Tess what perfume are you wearing?" Liz curiously asked, trying hard not to gag.
"I used the orange air freshner which my dad keeps in the toilet, smells good doesn't it?".
At this point, Liz would have been on the floor laughing until her sides hurt but to save herself the embaressment, she chose to hide her true feelings and act sane on their way to their science class. "Uhhh, it's very..distinctive.." Liz answered and kept her focus on getting to the class.
"What perfume you wearing?". Tess asked innocently.
"Deseo from Jennifer Lopez." Liz truthfully answered, even if it did sound a bit to posh. She only brought the top ranges of perfume she could get her hands on.
"Oh my god, I heard that perfume is a bestseller." Tess commented. "Maybe I should buy that." She said to herself.
Instead of answering her again, Liz pushed the door to their classroom and entered. Tess followed straight after her. Liz instantly glanced over at the teacher's desk where their new teacher was standing up, had his back to everyone and was writing on the whiteboard. Liz quietly joined Kyle, Kara-louise, Sanchez and his friends at their usual table. Tess sat in her own chair, sharing the table with obsessed star wars fans.
"Hey guys, what's up with the new guy?". Liz asked them. "Has he been like this since you guys walked in?".
They all shrugged. "We ain't even seen his face yet."
"Oh." Liz said and turned to look at the new teacher but was caught in the act. As she glanced at his way, she didn't expect a pair of amber eyes staring right back at her. She shuddered at the unexpected move, it felt as if someone was looking right into her soul. For a moment she sat there, mesmorised by those pair of eyes. Not in a romantic way, but she had never seen such eyes. No one looked at her like that.
Doctor Max Evans had just turned around to introduce himself to the class, at the age of twenty three going onto twenty four, he wasn't really used to teaching a class of eighteen year old high school students. And as soon as he turned around, the first thing he saw was a pair of the deepest, soulfull dark brown eyes a person could ever possess. The eyes held a lot of meaning in them, he noticed and then realised those eyes belonged to a girl who was staring right back at him. He also wasn't used to direct eye contact. Especially with a girl.
Liz looked away when she realised that he was staring. "Shit man." She whispered to her crew. "He's looking right at me, do something." She said under her breath and slowely turned away, trying to keep it on the low.
"Oh hell, he is as well." One of Sanchez's friends noticed.
When Max noticed that he was saying nothing but staring, he coughed. "Ahem, hello everyone..I'm Doctor Evans and as you know, I'll be your teacher for the rest of this semester. I take it that you're all currently studying crude oil.." He was rudely interrupted by a loud snigger from most of the guys in the class.
"Yeah, until Olsen was crude out." One of the jocks in the class laughed out loud.
Max pressed his lips and waited until the laughter stopped. "Well, since you know what we're studying, let's move onto the rules." He said, taking out sheets of paper. "And I expect them to be followed." He said in a stern voice.

Hey guys thanks for the feedback. Here's the next part. ENJOY!

Ch 3

“Rules?!”. Liz asked in disbelief holding the sheets of paper in her hand and flashed it to Maria and Kara-Louise. After the lesson, they all stormed to the ladies room as they liked to call it and bitched out their new teacher. Tess also followed.
“Here’s what I think of Doctor Evan’s shit rules.” Liz declared and threw the papers onto the floor and stamped on them until she could see the prints of the bottom of her sneakers on them. “Who the hell is Doctor Evans? And where the hell did he come from? Rules are for babies. This is high school.” Liz said and the other girls laughed with her, totally agreeing with her.
“Exactly, what does he think he is? Giving us babyish rules.” Kara-Louise agreed. “As if we’re gunna follow them.”
“We’ll break them all.” Tess nodded, trying to join in the girl’s gossip.
“Girl, I just can’t believe your teacher is a nerd.” Maria said with her arms folded. “Rules? Oh my god, seriously, it’s like kindergarten or something.”
“I wonder what the punishment is for being an outlaw in that class.”
“I don’t even want to know what the rewards are.” Liz said. “I am so not liking Doctor Evans, how the hell can I put up with that for the rest of the semester?”.
“We’ll make his life hell.” Tess answered Liz, although she had to admit, Doctor Evans was the handsomest teacher she had ever had or seen. But she didn’t want to risk being left out of the gang by drooling over a hot teacher. Tess was surprised that none of the other girls praised Doctor Evan’s sexiness. Isn’t that what their kind of guy was?
“You’re right Tess.” Maria found herself oddly agreeing to the girl. “Make his life hell so that he’ll resign.”
“I think I will.” Liz nodded.
And hearing this from his office which was next door to the girl’s room, Max Evans was not very pleased….

On the third ring, Max picked up the phone after rushing from the kitchen. He was just finished making spaghetti with meatballs and the aroma of the well known Italian dish went with him into the living room.
“Hello?”. He answered.
“Max, honey it’s your mom.” Diane answered her son.
“Oh hi mom.” Max said. “Is everything alright?”.
“Yes everything’s fine. Your father’s just returned from Miami after that case and your sister’s somehow left her job at the hardware store.”
“Oh right.” Max said, unsure of how to react at both good news and bad news. “So what’s Isabel doing now?”. As far as Max was concerned, his younger sister Isabel was only eighteen years old who had left every job she had. The news was very disappointing.
“I’m sorry Max but she really really wants to come to Roswell and stay with you.” Diane said.
“Oh okay.” Max said, knowing that Isabel always looked up to him. When they were young, he always looked out for her and she always followed him. He wasn’t surprised that now Isabel wanted to come stay in Roswell with him, he was just worried about her studies being affected.
“Anyway, I told her she could come in the holidays to visit.” Diane continued, knowing what her son was thinking. “How was your first day of work?”. She asked her son, getting to the point of why she called him.
“Uhh hectic.” Max answered truthfully remembering today’s event at high school. “It’s like my first day at high school rather then my first day at work.” He chuckled.
“Don’t worry honey, they’ll come around.” Diane assured him. “I know you, you’re a very good responsible young adult who’s very mature. Once they get to know you, they will love you.”
“Umm thanks mom.” Max smiled. He hoped that his mother’s words had some truth in it. He wasn’t a strict person nor was he a doormat. He was just a balanced level headed person. If he wanted respect, he’d achieve it by taking the right route. Not by going astray unlike some people he thought.
“Anyway, I have to go. Your father’s lost his watch again.” Diane laughed. “Take care honey, and keep in touch.” She told him.
“Don’t worry mom, I will. You take care of yourself and others too.” Max said before both disconnected the line.
As he put the phone back onto the receiver, Max realised how much he missed his family and how long it had been since they all lived under one roof. Now ever since graduating from high school, he had his own place and was very independent. All through university he spent alone and god knows how quickly he started to earn money. It overwhelmed him but fascinated him at the same time. He wasn’t going to take it all for granted. His parents taught him better than that. But right now, he was thinking of tomorrow’s classes and how to tackle the problematic situation that arose out of no where.
**************

As Liz, Kyle, Maria and Alex along with the others entered the club, 4 minutes by Madonna and Justin Timberlake was playing loudly on the stereo and they were getting into the colourful hot atmosphere, just losing themselves in the music.
“Man I’m digging this song.” One of Sanchez’s friends announced, moving his head to the beats and then singing it. “If you want it, you already got it, just say the word and I’ma gunna give you what you want.”
They all strolled up to the bar and greeted the barman, who hooked them up with free drinks. “Hey guys, nice to see you here.” Clive the Barman said and brought them barcadi with coke. “Oh the house.”
“Thanks man.” Kyle cheered. They often came here, even if for underage drinking. Nothing was more cooler then hanging out at places like these.
“So what’s the latest news?”. Clive asked, sensing that the gang had something serious on their minds.
“Just got some damn teacher who gives out rules.” Liz answered and took a sip of the chilled drink.
“You serious?”. Clive asked, unable to believe the news. “But ain’t you grown up for that shit?”.
“That’s what I thought.” Kara-Louise shrugged. “Apparently according to Doctor Evans, we’re not mature yet.” She said sarcastically.
“Nonsense. We’re all mature adults.” Maria said.
“Hey honey.” Adam West greeted his girlfriend Liz, kissing her on her cheek and wrapping his arms around her. The gorgeous hunk kissed her on the top of her head and everyone around them just had to stare.
Liz smiled and turned around, kissing him on the lips. “Hey.” She whispered and kissed him some more.
“Hmm I might have to take you away..” Adam teased her, grinning. Liz decided to abandon her drink and let Adam take her hand. “Let’s go..” She said and told her friends. “I’ll be back later.” Then quickly ran off with her boyfriend to the dance floor with the next track by Usher- ‘Love in the club’ booming in the club.
Kyle smiled and shook his head at Liz and Adam. “Busy lovebirds. Always running around.”
Kara-Louise shortly joined him. “I know, makes me pine for my significant other.”
“You’re not the only ones.” Maria agreed, watching Liz and Adam happily dance together to the song.
The pair just seemed to sway towards the music, with Liz’s sweet laughter and Adam’s sexy grins as they both moved swiftly together, forgetting about others in the moment. Maria longed to feel such emotions as she kept watching on.

Ch 4

The next day, Liz and Maria were walking to their next classes as soon as their bell rang. "Well it's wrong. I don't beleive in having an affair with your teacher, it's just a no-go. I strongly disagree with it Maria." Liz debated as the girls were discussing over the lastest article printed in the Roswell times.
"So you think it was Shelley's fault?". Maria questioned, reading the article at the same time.
"Well she is to blame. It takes two to tango." Liz said. "Besides, you haven't even given your verdict on the situation." Liz said, pulling the door and allowing Maria to go first.
"Yeah, I guess you're right but you can't help who you fall in love with right?". Maria asked, trying to empathize with the people which the article was about. She wondered what she would have done if she was put in the same position.Maria longed for love whereas Liz thought she already had love.
"No, you can't. It's destiny." Liz smiled, and glanced behind Maria who noticed and looked behind her to see Adam winking at Liz while he was at his locker with a group of friends.
"Oh please." Maria rolled her eyes. "Not that sweet eye bluetooth message thingy going on again."
"Oh come on Maria, maybe one day you'll meet your own prince charming, I mean who knows maybe he's waiting just round the corner." Liz suggested and continued walking.
"You don't mean Raymond do you because he's so boring."
"No not Raymond. He's already taken." Liz shrugged. "Besides, girl you gotta switch your style up. You cannot date someone who is obsessed with Mario or any other computer games. Your guy's gotta be cool, sophisticated and make all the right moves."
"Unfortunetly the world has a very limited about of guys like that." Maria told Liz. "I can't even get a decent guy even in speed dating. They're all fucking jerks." She complained. "I don't know how the hell you got Adam. He's every girl's eye candy."
Liz stopped in front of Maria and looked her dead in the eyes. "Look Maria, you're special okay. Maybe this is a sign that your guy isn't from around here. You don't deserve a fucking jerk, you deserve a special man."
"You think so?". Maria asked, looking at Liz with hope in her eyes. She hadn't dated for almost a year now and was desperate to get a man.
"I know so." Liz confirmed. "Now come on we're going to be late for our lessons. I'll meet you in the parking lot." Liz said to her before hugging her best friend.
"Love you Liz." Maria hugged her sister like best friend back.
"I love you too." Liz said before detaching from her. "Take care."
"You too." Maria said before they went to their own classes, she to her English literature and Liz to her AP biology.
When Liz entered the familiar lab, she sat with her friends at their usual table. At that precise moment, Max noticed her entrance and looking at her, he said. "You're late."
Liz was a little alarmed but relaxed as she sat down. "Sorry Doc, I ain't ma fault that I have people to meet and places to go." She shrugged and unpacked.
"That's not good enough." He answered. "Didn't you read the rules I handed out yesterday?". He asked, already knowing the answer but he wanted to set this girl straight. How dare she act like she was above everyone else? He disliked her attitude. Very prideful she was.
"I must have misplaced them." Liz said, not showing a sign of embaressment. "I'm not used to having rules thrown to me."
This girl was a hard nut to crack, Max thought quietly to himself. She must have been settled in her colony for quite a while that's why she knew how to handle situations. But Max was no less, he could easily embaress her in front of everyone but he wasn't that cruel. He'd have to approach the situation more realistically and with honesty. "Well Miss Parker, you better get used to it because next time you break a rule knowingly or unknowingly you will be issued a thirty minute detention."
At hearing this, Liz's eyes flicked up. This man was starting to get on her nerves, she would have kicked his ass right now if he wasn't her teacher. She would have to deal with him in her way and strut her stuff. He didn't know who she was yet. If he had beef with her, then she'd bring it out in the open and do a number on him. "Sir don't worry, it won't happen again." She lied fully knowing that she was going to do something even more annoying to make him mad.

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

Ch 4b

"Did you see the way he treated me?". Liz asked her group of friends in disbelief, shaking her head. Seated comfortably in one of the cushy booths in the Crashdown, all of them were hanging out and making plans for tonight and listened to Liz fuming about how Doctor Evans singaled her out to embaress her.
"I mean he's not ugly or anything but he's just so annoying!". She sighed. "Who the hell appointed him?!".
"Maybe he has a crush on you." Tess lightly suggested. "I mean to say, you are the hottest girl in town."
"Ew no way. Intimate feelings between teacher and student is just wrong. So wrong. I ain't doing down that road." Liz announced and then thought about it. She was the most beautiful and the most hottest so had she unwillingly attracted her new science teacher? If so then she had a problem and if not, then she had nothing to worry about. "You really think so?". She asked, pondering about that thought and glanced sidewards, running her fingers through her hair.
"Umm, personally it looks like Doc has picked up on your cool vibe and maybe he want's to eradicate it." Kara-Loiuse said. "Which ain't gunna happen." She added as Liz looked at her.
"Exactly, who the hell does Doc Evans think he is?". Sanches added.
At that precise moment, the door jingled and in stepped a tall, dusty blonde-brown haired man draped in sleek black leather. His hair was unkempt but gave him that masculine bad ass boy look, his eyes were a very deep unknown color and the impression he gave off was SEXY with a capital S. All the girl's heads turned around to look at him. He smirked when he noticed the attention before making his way to a certain table.
"Who is he?". Kara-Louise asked. staring at the unknown guy.
The whole gang turned around to look at him. "I don't know, but I'm definatly gunna find out!". Maria sqealed and practically jumped out of the booth with her order pad and pen. She thanked god that she was on duty now. Being a part time waitress in a cafe that was obessed with aliens wasn't really a guy magnet for Maria. But she would not let her opportunities slip away she thought as she stepped closer towards the good looking guy. Each step was a potential big leap for her everylasting happiness.
And when she actually reached him, she said. "Ahem, welcome to the crashdown, I guess this is yoru first time here since you look like a new face." She said with a sweet sassy smile.
He looked up from the table into her eyes which sparkled. "Oh hey, yeah this is my first time in here. I've never been in this area before either." He answered politely, admiring the girl's friendly attitude, it made him feel welcomed. Her honey blonde hair gave off a warm cozy feeling, her lovely green eyes defined her as exotic possibly an exotic experience and reminded him of an luxurious Island surrounded with fresh carribean waves. Was getting a little hot in here?
And her lips, full of juice and colour like a pregnant fruit if that made any sense, reminded him of ripe coconuts and tropical mangoes bursting with intense flavour. He licked his lips, he was getting hungry. "Aww, well don't worry, you're very welcome here. And this is the crashdown, practically the central foodcourt in this town." She told him with a cheerful countenance.
Yep, she definetly reminded him of starbursts. "Well if that's the case, then I plan to come here everyday." He announded with a smile meant for her. "I'm Micheal by the way." He said and extended his hand.
"Maria." She almost sqeaked, taking his hand, shaking it and absorbing the feel of his hand in hers.
"I like your name." Micheal said. "It has that nice exotic ring to it, and to your appearence. Maria." He said in awe. "Such a lovely name."
"Aww thanks." Maria replied, alreading liking this guy. Perhaps there was still hope in the world for her.
As the others looked on, Alex said. "Looks like Maria's met her dream guy.", they all looked amused and feeling cheerful, as Maria and the new guy laughed together while having a light hearted conversation.

Chapter 5

After a hard day's work, Max opened the door to his apartment and threw his jacket on the rack before closing the door. When he was about to make his way to the sofa's, he was overwhelmed by a surprise that took him aback. "Hey Max." Micheal said, turning around to see Max.
"Micheal?". Max asked, relaxing a bit. "When did you get here? and how did you get in?".
"Sorry if I surprised you." Micheal apologized as Max walked over to the sofas and slumped on the sofa opposite Micheal. "You gave me a duplicate key, remember?".
"Oh right." Max sighed, tilting his head back and brushed his hair with his fingers.
"You look really exhausted. Busy day at work?".
"Hectic." Max corrected him and sat up straight again. "Being a teacher is not easy." He remarked and noticed that there were magazines on the table that he had not purchased. Narrowing his amber eyes, he picked one up and studied it for a moment before speaking again. "Woman's own?, Micheal you brought these magazines?". He asked, amused. It wasn't likely for Micheal to buy women's magazines.
"Nah, I met this really cool chick at this cafe and she gave me these since I knew nothing about women." Micheal said. "She really helped me."
Max scoffed. "You don't say?". He flipped through the pages before putting it back on the table. "So you're flirting with other women? What about Courtney?".
"What about Courtney?". Micheal said, sitting up and slightly bending forward and clasping his hands together. "Max, she's in Vermont."
"Yeah well you're still dating her." Max pointed out. "Just because she's not here it doesn't mean you can get off with any other girl. It's wrong."
"Look's like mommy's boy knows how to treat a lady." Micheal joked. "Just because you beleive in what you beleive, I'm not giving a damn about Courtney." He shortly paused. "And who say's we're going out?, I can't really stand her. She's like a clingy puppy."
"Micheal I'm serious. How would you like it if the person you were seeing was cheating on you behind your back?".
"Cheating?". Micheal sniggered. "Oh that's is too harsh. I'm not cheating. I'm just getting to know the neighbourhood."
Max gave Micheal that dissaproving look. Ever since they were kids, Micheal would always be the immature, irattional and impulsive one while Max would be the level headed, sensible and calm one. "Atleast consider Courtney's feelings, you guys have been going out for..." Before Max could complete that sentence, Micheal cut him off.
"For what? six months? I know and it's a mistake." He said. "I actually thought I could make it work when all she does is demand one thing." He snapped.
"And that would be?". Max asked not knowing what Micheal meant.
"Sex."
"Oh." Max sat back almost withdrawing from the conversation. He wasn''t a total prude but when it came to matters like that, he would find it uncomfortable and would rather not talk about it. Both he and Micheal were virgins and never had any sexual experiences although they had a lot of offers, they maintained their virginity waiting for the one. It did sound a bit girlish but concerned with the risk of STD's, they both decided to be safe then sorry.
"And what's the guarentee that condoms are 98 percent safe? what about the two percent? I can't have sex with someone I don't love and cannot trust. That bitch had slept with everyone in high school and in the bars she goes to." He complained. "I am not giving her sexual satisfaction ever and I don't intend to have sex with her either."
By the time Micheal finished, Max's face was plastered with embaressment and awkwardness.
"Okaay. Moving on." He said. "So I guess you're gunna bunk here for some time?".
"Yeah until I find a stable place of ma own. I wouldn't wanna give ladies the wrong impression." Micheal chuckled. "You don't mind me staying here for a little while do you?".
"Nah. It's okay. I have a spare room anyway."
"Thanks man." Micheal smiled. "That's sorted." He rested both his hands behind his head.
"Do you want a drink?". Max asked getting up and heading towards the fridge.
"Sure man. I'd love a snapple." Micheal replied.

Ch 5b

Sighing in frustration, Sanchez opened his front door to see Tess standing there with a dozen of books in her hand. It was almost nine o clock and he was about to head out to meet some friends until Tess Harding showed up. "What Tess?!". He snapped, annoyed.
"I was hoping maybe we could study for AP biology." She said innocently, giving him her biggest smile. She had the huge crush on Sanchez and maybe if they spent a little time togehter...
Sanchez on the other hand who was most definetly not interested in her whatsoever felt like throwing up. Was this over blonde gerbil actually dreamt that they'd make out during a whole night?. He felt like shuddering in disgust. Tess had no sense of style, she wasn't hot and she smelled of rotton sweetcorn. Sanchez wanted nothing to do with her. He didn't understand why she hadn't picked up on the gang's vibe that they didn't want her there.
"Tess for god's sake, leave me alone. I have no business with you." He told her.
"I baked you a pie." She teased, practically shoving the pink box in his face.
"Urghh, is that the same box that Maria was going to throw away?". He asked, remembering the time that they all had cocunat pie at Maria's place and the same box with the label COCONUT PIE on it. That was a month ago and Tess still had the same box. He never felt so embaressed and humiliated in his entire life. That box must have been covered with little black mould and in it was her sweaty pie. YUCK!
"Get that shit outta ma face and get lost!". Sanchez warned, shut the door behind him and back away from Tess before literally jumping on his moterbike and speeding off. "STAY AWAY FROM ME, FREAAAK!". He hollered back, riding out the street. Tess was picking up the book and the crushed pie which Sanchez had stepped on while trying to escape from her. Some books were coated in the crushed pie. It felt like she was picking up the pieces of her crushed heart.
She had feelings for Sanchez since eight grade and to have her heart broken in such a way, she never imagined it. It pained her to know Sanchez thought of her as a freak and she sobbed silently. "I didn't mean to make you angry Sanchez."
Slowely and quietly all by herself, she picked up the dirty books and the box with the crushed pie. She had no one. Her father was always out, her mother had abandoned her when she was only a baby and Tess had no siblings. The closet she considered as family was Liz, Maria, Kyle, Alex and the others. But she feared Sanchez's words. Did they really want her in their gang? Or was she even a part of their gang at all?
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Ch 5c

"I just got off the phone from Kara-Louise." Maria told Liz who was sitting on her bed, painting her nails a magnificent cherry red. The two girls were having a slumber party tonight as they always did since childhood. "Said Tess practically tried to attack Sanchez at his place." She sniggered.
"Attack as in?" Liz inquired, giving a half smile. She always knew Tess had a thing for Sanchez, even a blind fool could see that. She also knew Sanchez wasn't interested. The situation was amusing but Liz did sympathize with Tess.
"She showed up at his place with so many books and that same pink box which I was gunna throw away a month ago when we had that coconut pie. She baked some shitty pie for him and he so didn't wanna know. I mean any guy in his place would have done the same. The girl don't know what hygiene is."
"News travels very fast." Liz commented with a smile and had finished the last nail on her left little finger. She fastened the lid on the bottle of nail varnish and put it in her dresser.
"Liz seriously, don't you think Tess is a little too desperate?".
"Well..." Liz bit her lip, unsure of what to say. She wasn't fond of the girl but she didn't want to be mean either. Sometimes Tess was really nice and there were times when Tess aggravated her with her stupidity.
"As far as I can remember, Tess is trying to fit it. Maybe having feelings for Sanchez shows how normal she is?". Liz suggested.
"Oh!". Maria sqeaked trying hard not to laugh. "Don't tell me you're sympathizing for her!, remember the time when she made a stink bomb in that chemics class? You had such a bad headache that you couldn't concentrate for a whole week."
"Oh, yeah. How could I ever forget that? That was like such an embaressement." Liz recalled, remembering that eventful day when she unfortunatly had Tess as a lab partner and instead of doing what the teacher had asked them to do, Tess had decided to take the lead and made a disastrous stink bomb instead which exploded and Liz had to bathe herself in holy water for a whole week to abolish that pong which Tess inflicted. This is one of the reasons why she disliked Tess.
"And not to forget, when she sent four waitresses in hospital because she tripped over her untied shoe laces, sent her food, her salivated milkshake and herself over these four poor girls who had been seriosuly damaged. And your father had to pay them compensation." Maria pointed out.
"No, I haven't forgotten." Liz said.
"Well then? Let's get rid of her? Kick her out of our gang?". Maria said, sitting next to Liz on the bed.
"As much as it really pains me, I don't want to lower someone's self esteem." Liz said in a restrained voice. "I can't be responsible for hurting Tess or anyone else for that matter."
"Oh dear, I should have known. You have such a soft heart underneath that hard exterior." Maria sighed. "But cut her out of our main activities please? I cannot have that embaressment hanging around us when we're doing our thang."
"Okay." Liz said.
"That's ma girl." Maria smiled and hugged Liz who was feeling a little guilty. Tess already had her heart broken, could she survive being kicked out the gang?
