What happened to you?

Maria and Alex had changed but nobody was exactly sure to say if it was a bad change. They dressed differently, both mainly in black or red, mostly leather. Maria wearing formfitting and more sexy clothes than before, and Alex looked better trained, started wearing sleeveless shirts and worn out jeans. They both rode bikes no one even knew they could do that, and isolated themselves from mostly everybody else. But on the other side they had been more attentive in class and were top students now, it just didn't fit. They were more secure and independent now.
