All this time I've known Michael Guerin I've thought of him as this weird guy. Very good-looking, I have to say, but just weird. He's rarely at school so I didn't really know much about him. Not that I ever really wanted to know anything about him. But now.. Now I just know too much about him. When I found out that he's an alien I was just so scared of him. I mean I didn't much trust any of them. The aliens I mean. Max and Isabel Evans are also.. not from the Earth. Anyway, I didn't know what they were gonna do to us with their little alien powers. My best friend Liz of course trusted them. Always thinking the best of people. But they aren't humans, are they? The way Max and Liz look at each other.. God. That made me think that maybe they aren't gonna hurt us. And Max did save Liz's life so. I should've known they are aliens though. I mean they always hang out with each other even though they are complete opposites. Max is this shy science guy who doesn't speak much. His sister Isabel is this arrogant, beautiful and popular. And.. Yeah I already said enough about Michael.

Anyway, I had this little road trip with Michael. Yeah, it was because he stole my car and kind of kidnapped me. That didn't much help the fact that I was afraid of him. But we talked, mostly argued, and I saw this whole other side to him. He's this vulnerable guy who just really wants to know where he comes from. He can actually be nice if he wants to but mostly he doesn't want to. I still think he's very stubborn, selfish and so annoying. But he's also interesting. He makes me want to try to get the soft side out of him. And I don't know why but every time he's around he makes me shiver in a good way.

"Maria?" Liz came to the break room where Maria had sat longer than her break should've been. "Huh?" Maria lift her head to see Liz staring at her. "Are you okay? You've been sitting here for half an hour." Maria stood up and started to walk back in the cafe. "I have? I'm sorry Liz. My mind got distracted." "Oh." Liz said with a grin on her face. "Let's go serve some tables girl!" Maria shouted while she was jumping behind the counter. Then she saw Michael, Max and Isabel sitting on their regular booth. Maria froze and felt her cheeks blushing. How stupid she must have looked jumping like that. "Umm.. Liz. You should go serve them 'cause you know then you can stare deep into Max' eyes and.." Before Maria could finish her sentence Liz started to laugh and she playfully bunched Maria in the arm. "Maria! Fine I'll go but not because of what you said. I'm going because I'm such a good friend and I know that you're feeling ridiculous right now because of your jumping here so you don't want to go." Liz laughed and Maria just showed tongue to her friend. Maria hated but also loved that Liz knew her so well.

"Hey!" Liz said and stopped looking at Max who was staring back at her. Michael and Isabel looked at each other and rolled their eyes. Liz finally lift her head and looked at the others too. "So what can I get you?" Liz glanced all of them and smiled when her eyes met Max' again. "We'll all have cherry colas." Max said and never took his eyes off of Liz. "Why was Maria so cheery?" Michael suddenly asked and made Liz take her eyes off of Max. "Oh. I guess she's having a good day." Liz said trying hard not to laugh. She glanced Max one more time and then returned to the counter. "Jeez Max.. Could you be any more obvious?" Michael looked at his friend who finally got his eyes off of Liz. "As much as I agree with you I have to say that you aren't any better." Isabel looked at Michael and grinned. "What the hell is that supposed to mean?" Michael was confused. He didn't make goo-goo eyes to anyone. "Asking about Maria like that. And the way you flirt with each other every time she's around even though you pretend to argue." Max smiled because he knew that his sister was right. He's seen the same thing. "I really don't know what you're talking about. We DO argue. I think she's annoying and weird. Nothing else." "Whatever." Isabel said and smiled. She knew that even Michael himself didn't believe it.

"So.. How were they?" Maria asked when Liz came back to the counter. "Oh you mean how was Michael? He actually asked about you.." Maria opened her mouth amazed. "I didn't mean Mich.. What? He asked about me?" Liz smiled to her friend. She was being so obvious. "Just about your jumping here.. I said you're having a good day." "Oh.." Maria said and turned to look at Michael. He turned the exact same time to look at her. Maria soon ran to the break room. Her heart was jumping fast. Why did she feel this way?
