Disclaimer: I don't own Roswell; God only knows how much I wish I did though.
Author's Notes: I know, like I really need to start another story when I have four not finished, but I couldn't get the idea out of my head. Hmmm, maybe I should just post challenges, less stressful for me. Anyway, I got the idea of this ficcy from LivE's short story "Poor Liz." While I loved the story, I always was wondering about Maria, Alex, and even Kyle, soo, I decided to write this story for my poor Stargazing heart; plus, I wanted to know if I can write fluff. Hope you like.
Okay, background. Everything up to Viva Las Vegas happened. Only, Liz confessed to Max about the whole "end of the world" thing, and they worked it out between themselves. Tess wasn't a bitch, and hooked up with Kyle. However, the aliens had to go back to Antar sometime after graduation, but before the gang went away to college. Alex is at MIT, Liz is at Harvard, Maria got into Boston U, and Kyle is back in New Mexico at Las Cruces
Whose Who?
Justin's POV
Okay, you may think I'm crazy, no, obsessed, but I'm a man with a mission. I'm going to find out once and for all if my roommate is lying. Before you leave thinking that I'm some deranged maniac, let me explain.
My name is Justin Cavini, from Chicago, and I'm a second year student at MIT. I hope to get my degree in Electrical Engineering and for the past two years I've been living with Alexander Charles Whitman. Now, Alex and I get along just fine; we're both interested in the same type of music, movies, hell, we both trying to survive getting our degrees at MIT. However, try to get him to open up about his life in Roswell before he came to Cambridge and he shuts up. Well, no, that's not exactly right; he'll talk about his parents, hangouts, has a couple of great stories about this place called the Crashdown Café, but it seems like he never quite opens up about everything. It's like he's hiding something, but I couldn't figure out what exactly he was hiding.
At first, I thought it was that maybe he was still in the closet. Don't look at me that way! You would too, okay, maybe not, but I had a couple of good reasons in believing he wasn't interested in women. First of all, he never went out on any dates, I mean NEVER! Didn't look at other women really either, when a bunch of guys would come over for studying we'd eventually get off topic and start talking about hot girls in lecture or in the media, and he wouldn't add anything to the conversation. Well, he might add his two cents in about whether Liv Tyler was hotter than Jessica Alba, but that was about it. Then there was this time when Sally Wu from our circuits class asked him out after our midterms and he flatly refused.
I know you're rolling your eyes at me, but you have to hear me out. Sally was, actually, still is one of the most sought after girls in the Cambridge area. Her parents are filthy rich, and she has a great body and face. But she's not all frosting with no cake, Sally is very intelligent, witty, has a wicked sense of humor, and is fairly nice. So, it shocked everyone in our hall when we heard that not only did Alex Whitman get asked out by Sally, but he told her he wasn't interested in her that way. I believe Rick, our next door neighbor sums up our reaction quite nicely, "What the f# was he thinking?" As sad as it sounds, we all were in shock; I mean you have to understand, we're EEC's majors. We don't get asked out by the pretty, popular girls; it just doesn't happen, I mean you've heard the joke right? You know; the one about the EECS and a girl's reaction when asked....Okay, going off on a tangent. Anyway, when Rick cornered the poor guy, do you know what he said?
"I like Sally, but I don't want to date her. In fact, none of the girls here have what I'm looking for; I'm just not interested."
That wasn't the kicker, that came about two weeks later when I was looking for one of my cd's at his computer. I know; I know; I shouldn't have read what was on his computer screen, but it was there and what I saw kind of shocked me.
How the hell was I suppose to know that they were joking on IM?Spaceboy's Gal: I can't help it; I miss him.
Stargazing Bass: I know. Who would have thought I'd miss him, especially when I punched him some years back.
Spaceboy's Gal: Ahh, Alex, are you saying you love our little Space Boy too?
Jadeling's Notes: okay, what do you think? Should I continue or scrap it?
