Biology Classroom
Max's POV
"Oh shit," whispered Max as he realized he had emptied the wrong test tube into the flask.
"Aw, Max, it's supposed to turn red, not green!" whispered Carmen. She swept her hand over the flask and the liquid turned red. Then she swept her hand over the yellow liquid he should have poured in and it turned orange, the color of the liquid he had accidentally poured into the flask. He gasped. Carmen giggled and whispered in his ear. "What Max? You didn't know about the 'side effects'?" she asked as she nibbled his ear and kissed the side of his neck. Was he forgetting something? If he was he couldn't remember, all he could focus on were the soft lips and sharp teeth that were making his whole body tingle. I wasn't until he heard Liz gasp and saw her run out of the room that he remembered.
"I have a girlfriend," he whispered reluctantly as she continued to love his neck and ear with kisses and bites.
'Well, you can go after Liz and make sure you still have a girlfriend. Or, you can stay here with me and be rid of her.' She said in his mind as she kissed a trail along his cheek towards his lips. How was she talking to him this way? Was it because she was a twin? He lost any thoughts of Liz and of Carmen's psychic abilities as her lips captured his in a kiss and a flash rushed into his mind.
He lay on top of her on her bed, still inside her after they had passionately made love to each other for the first time. It wasn't the fact that they had just had sex that startled him, but the way he fit inside her perfectly. The way their bodies joined together like pieces of a puzzle. The way they completed each other. The way she completed him. 'I love you' she whispered as she took his lips to hers…
Carmen's POV
She tried to stop the tears form falling as she took off her lab coat and her goggles, placing them on the table. Max wanted Liz, not her. He fantasized about Liz, he wanted to fuck that little mousy bitch. Fine, he could fuck that mouse silly. She grabbed her bag and stormed out of the classroom. As the door slammed shut, every single piece of glass on Max's table shattered. She walked into the legendary 'Eraser Room.'
She needed a plan. She knew that deep inside Max wanted her, but because Liz was fresher in his mind than her, she was fogging his instinct. She had done her research in Liz's mind the day before at the Crash Down, so she was very well informed. First off, Liz hated Tess, and unlike everyone else, refused to forgive her. Second off, she was jealous of Isabel. And the way Isabel got along with Tess and not her, it made her blood boil. Very well Lizzie dear. Looks like you' have to deal with three people that are superior to you instead of just two. Tess and Isabel would make great friends, but if she was going to hang out with them it would call for a change in appearance.
She swept her hand over her black shirt and it turned into a violet, low-cut blouse. Then she rearranged her pants so that the fit her legs snuggly and made them caprice. With the extra molecules from her pants, she arranged them into a cropped jacket. Next she changed her black nail polish to match her blouse and she rearranged the molecules of her boots into black leather high heels. Using the remaining molecules she arranged them into a black leather purse to match her heels. Finally, she brought her make-up down a notch and swept her hand over he hair, curling it. Perfect.
Chapter 4The Quad
Maria was sitting with Michael and Alex in the Quad after art; she was so glad she had slept in half the morning and missed her first two classes. She was answering Alex's questions about Carmen when a dirty blonde with bad skin walked over to them and sat next to Michael.
"So baby, are we taking off for lunch?" she asked Michael.
"Nah, we're staying babe. Unless you want to take off with your friends," answered Michael, sounding slightly annoyed.
"Okay, I'll see you after school then," said the dirty blonde as she planted a kiss on his cheek. "Love you Mikey G.!" she said over her shoulder as she walked over to a group of girls.
Maria rolled her eyes. "So Mikey G. who's that?" she asked sarcastically, already having guessed exactly who she was.
"My girlfriend Courtney," he said. "Why? You jealous?"
"Me? Of course not. She may have you by title, but that may change in the near future," said Maria.
"Hmm, sounds interesting," said Michael with a wink.
Just then a tall, brooding guy walked over to the table. 'Oh my gosh, that's Max!' exclaimed Maria to herself, recognizing from the drawings Carmen had made of him. He matched them exactly!
Max sat down and sighed heavily. Well, it was over with Liz. Again. Even worse, Carmen had run away from him after their kiss. 'What had she seen that upset her so much?' he wondered. He sighed again.
"Hey Michael and Alex," he said, still unaware of Maria's presence. He didn't notice her until she sneezed. "Who's she?" he asked Michael.
"Oh, that's Maria Deluca, remember? Carmen's twin."
"Yeah, I remember," he sighed. "Nice to see you again," he said to Maria.
"Wish I could say the same, why did you make my sister cry in biology class?" she asked furiously.
"I wish I knew," he said sincerely.
"Well I do know. She saw your fantasy Max, just like you saw hers. But instead of seeing something pleasant she saw you fucking Liz's brains out in the Crash Down. Draping that little mouse over a table and fucking her through the ass. That's disgusting! Imagine my sister's reaction to that. Better yet imagine this, you love someone so much that they're the reason they don't go jump off a fucking bridge, then when you find him and finally kiss him, you see him fucking some other bitch!! Jolly good fun right?" Maria got up and grabbed her trey off the table. "Good luck fixing that, you Royal Jerk." She walked away and said "See you later Alex and Michael," over her shoulder. Max sighed. He couldn't help what had been in his mind. He just wished Carmen hadn't seen it.
Michael burst into laughter. "Damn Max! Through the ass? You? I never would have guessed! Of course you do know that little, uptight Liz would never let you do that to her.
He stopped laughing abruptly when he noticed Tess, Izzie, and a third girl headed in their direction. They were laughing and talking like best pals. The girl must be some chick to crack through the Ice Princesses shell.
"Oh my gosh, that's Carmen!" exclaimed Alex as he rose to greet them.
"Really?" asked Michael, "I thought she would be more rugged like Maria.
"She is," stated Max, "but a little more melancholy. Actually, a lot more. I don't know when she changed; she was totally different this morning, I mean she went from 'Punk Rock Princess' to 'Sophisticated Dark Girl'." He smiled. "I like both, so it makes no difference to me."
'Wow,' thought Michael, 'What's wrong with this picture?' thought Michael. Max was drooling over someone besides Liz? Finally! That mouse had been on his nerves for a while already.
Isabel's POV
Isabel giggled as Carmen gave them a play-by-play account of the way her and Maria had scared away their dad's first girlfriend after their mom. This was one smart girl! Kind of like Liz, but with street smarts and personality. Actually way better than Liz!
She looked over at the table where Michael and Max were sitting. She almost fell over when she saw the way Max was looking at Carmen. He was looking at her with an intensity and familiarity that only came into his eyes when he talked to her and Michael. Except there was something else in his eyes, something that he usually saved for Liz. Then she turned her attention to Alex as he approached them. He looked so cute in his flurry of excitement to see his old friend. Carmen had told them about how close her, Alex, and Maria were.
Carmen's POV
When she saw Alex waiting for her with his arms wide open for a hug, she almost ran into them. She'd missed him as much as she had missed Max, if not more. He had been like a brother to her and Maria through out their child hood. She stopped laughing with her new girlfriends and rushed into his arms.
Alex's POV
He could hear Carmen crying softly as she held on to him tightly. He gently rubbed her back and whispered into her hair. "Don't cry Carmy, its going to be okay."
She pulled away from him and wiped away her tears. She smiled at him. She was even prettier than he remembered. He had missed her and Maria so much.
"So you did it, huh Alex?" she asked him smiling. Was that pride in her eyes? She was proud of him, for what?
"Did what?" he asked.
"You started your band silly!" she said as they walked towards the table together.
