May 17, 2002 Roswell, New Mexico


The day started out like any other Friday. I got out of bed reluctantly, wishing fervently that I didn't have to go to school, but alas I did. I shut the alarm clock off, performed my usual morning crazy stretch, then headed for the bathroom.

After showering and getting ready for school and flew downstairs to the kitchen where the heavenly smells from my mom's cooking wafted under my nose. I finished my breakfast in seven minutes flat and gathered up my books.

"I won't be home when you get back from school. I have to make a run to Carter. I'll be gone all weekend."

"Ok mom. See ya when you get back. Drive carefully."

"You won't be scared by yourself?"

I laughed. "Mom this is not the first time you've left me home by myself."

"Yeah but this will be the longest." She handed me the bag lunch that she had fixed me. "You can invite a few friends over to keep you company but no boys."

"Mo…om!" I drew out. "Can I at least have Michael over? We're not going to do anything. You know I'm very responsible."

Mom shook her head. "It's not you I don't trust. It's that boy. I still don't like him."

"Mom, Michael is totally harmless. You've known him for over five years. You used to like him."

"Well yeah but that was before he started dating my baby."

I gave her my best puppy dog expression. "How bout if I invite the whole gang over, that way Michael and I won't be alone?"

"Including that Evans boy, Max? He's so responsible and sweet, so as long as he's coming then you can have that Michael over to." Mom relented.

"Thanks mom you're the best."

"You know the rules though baby. The boys can't sleep over."

"Yeah mom, okay. Gonna be late for school. Love ya."

"Love ya to." I hurried out of the house.

My best friend Kitessa Harding pulled up in her 2000 Ford Focus. She and I had been riding to school together ever since she got her license last year. She honked her horn even though she saw me walking out the door.

"You can't rush beauty Tess." I teased as I climbed in the car.

"Show me beauty and I'll try not to rush it." We laughed.

"Guess what?" I spoke up as she started to pull off.

"What?"

"My mom is going out of town this weekend. She said I could have friends over."

"Kewl, so you and Michael going to have an intimate weekend?"

I groaned. "Nope. The catch 22 is that I have to have a group of friends over and the guys can not spend the night."

Tess grinned evilly. "What she doesn't know won't hurt her."

I copied her grin. "Yeah but my mom trusts me besides it would be fun having you all over."

"Yeah that's true. I so need to get away from my dad tonight. He's totally bsing over the fact that my mom has a new husband."

"Your dad needs to get a life Tess." I laughed. Tess mom ran off with her dad's best friend when she was thirteen years old. Now her mom was marrying some guy she met in California named Garth.

"Yeah that's what I told him. I even tried to find a girlfriend for him." She sighed and shook her head. "He's hopeless. Anyway, enough about my dad, who else are you inviting?"

"Well Alex of course."

Tess laughed. "Duh of course. What's the three musketeers w/out our third half?"

"And Kyle because I know that a certain someone has a huge crush on him."

Tess blushed. "Whatever."

"And I guess we have to invite Liz since she is Alex's sister."

Tess made a gagging noise. She and Liz didn't get along at all. Hmm… I wonder why. Could it be because Liz is a man-stealing hussy? Yep, that about sums it up. Tess, Liz, and I used to be the best of friends but then Max came along. Sweet, sexy, shy Max.

Tess liked him. It was a known fact among the three of us. We plotted to get her and him together. Then Liz goes and screws that all up. We wrote a note telling him how Tess felt and signed Tess name. We decided that Liz would be the one to deliver it to his locker. Then the conniving slut put her name on the note and when he read it he thought she was the one that liked him. He asked her out and that was that.

Eventually I got over being mad at her because I politely made it inevitable that Max would break up with her. So thanks to yours truly they no longer date. He found out she was cheating on him. Ha ha! I'm so evil.

Anyway back to the issue at hand. "Well my mom wants Max to be there because she feels that he is so responsible."

"Okay well you know that Isabel is coming with Max."

"Duh. Those two are practically attached at the hip. I just hope they don't try to mistake my house for a cheesy motel."

We shared a laugh as we pulled up into the school parking lot. "So anyway, I'll let everyone know what time to be there and what snacks to bring."

Tess nodded in agreement. "I'll stop by Blockbuster's to pick out some videos."

"Okay see ya third period." We split up and headed to our first class.
