Part II
After the day Kyle and Tess had talked to each other things changed. It seemed like Tess had decided to avoid the other aliens. In fact the only person she spent time with now was Kyle. They went to the cinema together, skated in the park, went on parties… For the first time in her life Tess lived like a normal teenager. She loved every day she could spent with Kyle.
She loved the days, but she feared the nights. At night, when she was alone in her bed, she couldn't stop worrying about her future and she questioned how she could make the other aliens accept her. Only together they could fight their enemies. Every single night she tried to find a solution for her problem, but at the next morning she never know what to do. So Tess just tried to get out of Max's, Michael's, and Isabel's way, hoping that one day they would come to her. Meanwhile she just spent time with Kyle and had a lot of fun.
Kyle liked being with Tess, too. He had realized that she was not that much different from him. Yes, she was an alien, but a part of her was human also. He slowly lost his fear. Instead he felt sorry for Tess. She really had a bad childhood and it looked like she never got to have fun before. So he made it his mission to change that. He took her with him when he went to the parties of his football friends or they watched movies together. Basically he showed her all the stuff normal teenager do. Soon he didn't only asked her to come along because he felt sorry for her, but also because he just liked to hang out with Tess. He had never had such a close friend before.
"Tess are you ready? We're going to be late." Kyle was already standing at the door, his keys in his hands. They had planned to go to the movies to see one of the new action movies Kyle just had to see. But Tess was running late. If they wouldn't go right now they would miss the beginning of the movie. "I'm there in just a minute." Tess yelled. "You said that ten minutes ago. What the hell are you doing?" Finally Tess came out of his former room, putting on her jacket while walking. "Girls just need some extra time. You should know this by now, Kyle. I can't go in public with just some old jeans, a t-shirt and uncombed hair, like you do." Kyle pushed her out of the door, mumbling something about girls and spending hours in bathrooms. Tess pretended that she didn't hear it.
"Can I drive?" Tess looked pleading at Kyle. "NO!" He really regretted that he had thought her how to drive a car. It was always an adventure to drive with her. Usually it takes his nerves about two weeks to recover. "Please Kyle." Tess tried again. "No Tess! I still have nightmares from the last time you drove my car. You nearly hit a truck."
"I did not. I just got a little close to it. It's not my fault when you panic that easily." Kyle just looked at her and then got into the car. "Are you coming?" Tess realized that she had no chance today and sat next to him. Not without telling him that he was unfair and mean though. Kyle didn't really care. She told him that at least twice a day and he was almost sure she didn't really mean it.
They arrived two minutes after the movie started at the cinema. It took them a while to buy their tickets and some popcorn, so the commercials where already at the end when they finally got to their seats. It was dark and they hurried to sit down, so they wouldn't disturb anyone. That's why they didn't realized who was sitting three rows above them.
But Max, Liz Isabel, Alex and Maria saw them. They had been a little surprised when Tess had started to spend more time with Kyle, yet they didn't have a problem with it. Above all Liz was glad that Tess had stopped flirting with Max. During the movie Liz tried to ignore her. Besides in that moment Max laid his arm around her shoulders she forgot that Tess even existed. Maria didn't have time to worry about Tess, because she totally concentrated on being mad on Michael for not going with them to the movie theater. Alex was more concerned about the fact that Isabel wasn't sitting next to him. She had ignored him the whole day. So the only one left to think about Tess was Isabel. She had tried a couple of times to convince Max and Michael that they needed to be friends with Tess. After all she was the fourth Alien. But they didn't even listen to her. They were still confused by the whole destiny thing and thought it would be easier to leave her alone. She had started all the crap about Isabel and Michael belonging together, as well as Max and Tess herself. Isabel didn't like the destiny either (she and Michael?) but she wanted that Tess belonged to them. She wanted a friend who was like her.
When the movie was over Isabel walked quickly to Kyle and Tess. "Hi" Kyle and Tess looked up. "Hi Isabel." Kyle could hear in Tess voice that she was unsure what to do. "Ehm, I'm going to the Crashdown with the others. Wanna come?"
"Sure." Tess smiled. They followed Isabel out of the cinema. At the parking lot Isabel went to Max's jeep and Tess drove with Kyle. They agreed to meet at the Crashdown.
