Chapter two: the new student

Martin sat on a table in the cafeteria with Billy -who was in his human form- and Java was serving meals to the other students; "So Martin, how are things going?" The disguised alien said in between mouthfuls of salad.

Martin swallowed his food, "The usual…" he began in a bored tone, suddenly his mood changed abruptly and he got up, "Except for the fact that tonight we're going to see the all time greatest movie! 'Attack of the slime zombies'! It's going to be awesome! Java will be coming too, you in?" he chirped, gesturing wildly on how great the movie will be, a grin slapped on his face.

Billy smiled at his giddy friend and nodded, "Sure Martin! We'll have popcorn right?"

The blonde looked at the alien in offence, "What! Have you ever been to one of my movie nights and haven't seen any popcorn? Of course there will be popcorn! And all the sweets and drinks you can imagine!" Martin cheered and sat back down.

"Is Diana going to come like she usually did?" Billy asked after a while of discussing on the movie, the blond boy spit out his soda at the mention of her name, "Hah! That annoying little nerd?" he grunted, wiping his mouth as if he tasted something vile and glared at the table; Billy grimaced, "So… I take that as a no?"

Hah! Why should he invite Diana over to HIS movie night with Java and Billy?

"Hey guys!" a voice called to them, Martin looked up and scrunched up his nose…

A brunette stood before them, holding a tray of food.

Speak of the devil.

Billy grinned nervously, "Uh… hey Di." He said, trying to ignore the lightning bolt that surged between Martin and Diana over his head.

The two kept glaring, if looks could kill… The two teens would be nothing but ash… "Guys? …GUYS!" Billy broke the glaring contest by standing up, "What?" the two stepsiblings chorused at once.

Billy sighed, "You two have GOT to stop fighting! It's not fun at all to live among two fire breathing friends!"

"That's Diana's profile alright!" Martin snickered as the brunette fumed, "He's talking about you too!" she pointed at her brother, Martin scoffed, "yeah, whatever you say sis."

Diana sighed in exasperation and sat down next to Billy and across from Martin, "So Billy, what are you and Java doing tonight?" she plastered on a smile, trying to cheer up her tense friend; Billy looked closer at her features and noticed small bags around her eyes, she seemed very tired but didn't mention anything about it.

"Um well-" Billy started but was interrupted by Martin as the blonde teen slung an arm around his shoulders, "Well Billy, Java and I will be in my room watching awesome movies! A movie night YOU are NOT invited in!" the blonde pointed rather rudely at his sister.

Diana gasped offensively but then glared, "Whatever! I never wanted to join you in your stupid movie nights anyway!" the brunette slammed her hands on the table, causing everyone to look at them but she didn't notice as she shook her fist at her brother and stood up, "I've had it with you!"

Martin's brown eyes watched her as she stomped away, a frown adorning his face as he crossed his arms and sat back down; Billy sighed, rubbing his temples.

…

"What an ungrateful, selfish, irresponsible, irrational, immature, annoying little-!" Diana cursed martin with every word she could muster as she stared at the floor, watching tile after tile escaping and appearing in her line of vision as she stomped down the school's hallway, too pissed to see where she was going.

Suddenly she hit something hard; books fell to the ground and Diana shook her head to clear her dazed mind; she must have hit a wall… but then again it was too soft to be a wall… the brunette looked up to see a young male her age, about half a head taller than herself "Oh I'm sorry!" The boy apologized and went to pick up his books.

Diana gapped at the boy as she stared at his green eyes that were as deep as the rainforests of South America, pulling her in a small trance… but managed to pull herself together and kneeled down to help him, "Oh no! It was my fault! I wasn't looking where I was going!" She stuttered and helped him.

The two stood and the girl managed to get a good look at the dazzling male.

His hair was as black as midnight that gave off a healthy shine as they fell over his forehead just above his eyes; his skin was pale and looked smooth; his cheeks were curved nicely yet had that childish appearance; he wore a black leather jacket with a white t-shirt inside and skinny jeans.

All in all he looked very handsome indeed; almost to the point where you could almost drool.

'Wow…' Diana thought, her jaw slightly unhinged as she gapped at the boy, "What?" he asked and looked behind him to see what she was gapping at, Diana then realized she said her thoughts out loud.

The girl blushed and smiled nervously, "Um… nothing!" she said, "Oh okay…" the two remained silent for a moment.

"Um… are you new here? I'm sure I haven't seen you before." Diana finally broke the awkward silence and the boy nodded, "Yeah I am… I was looking for the cafeteria since its lunch time… the school is pretty big and I can tend to get lost…" The boy sheepishly scratched the back of his head, making him look even cuter in Diana's eyes; "I can take you there!" she said politely and the boy gave her a charming grin, making her melt, "Thank you!" the boy said as she lead him unconsciously to the cafeteria, staring at him the whole way.

"You look like a kitten eyeing a bowl of milk" The boy pointed out as they stopped in front of the cafeteria doors; Diana blushed furiously and cleared her throat nervously 'oh no! He might think of me as a freak! Or worse! A stalker! Oh… Martin was right! I chase every cute guy away with the looks I give them!' the poor girl thought and grabbed her red cheeks, embarrassed.

She opened her eyes when she felt someone poke her forehead; the brunette looked up to see the young man, "Don't be embarrassed, I don't think you're expression was creepy, it was just odd and being odd doesn't mean it's bad" he said and smiled as if he knew what she was thinking, making her eyes widen in surprise "Really?" she asked and the teen nodded, "Yeah, besides, I like kittens" he said, making the girl blush harder.

"Well? Shall we go inside?" the raven haired boy asked and the girl snapped out of her stupor, "Uh-huh…" she muttered and the two opened the doors and walked inside.

"By the way kitten" the nickname the boy gave her made her blush up to her ears, "My name is Sam, what's yours?"

"I'm Diana" she smiled, fiddling with her fingers shyly.

…

Martin sat and chatted with Billy casually, maybe once or twice attempting to flirt with a girl passing by (but of course failing miserably) until Billy spotted Diana walking towards a table near them.

"Hey Martin, it's Diana; and it looks like she made a new friend." The alien said and pointed at the two teens sitting down with a tray each in their hands.

Martin almost choked on his fries, not believing his eyes; a boy WILLINGLY went to sit with DIANA at the same table? Has the world gone insane?

"Do you see what I see? Please tell me I'm hallucinating…" Martin gapped and looked at Billy, "I'm afraid you're not Martin… I think Diana found a date" the alien replied, equally surprised.

SHE found a date BEFORE Martin Mystery did? Certainly NOT!

Martin got up, "Where are you going Martin?" Billy asked, not liking the expression on his friend's face.

"Me? I'm going to… talk to Diana's new boyfriend! You know… make sure he's the right guy for her!" Martin smirked and Billy groaned, "You mean humiliate her in front of the guy and ruin her chance at having a happy relationship with another male other than us?" the alien rubbed his temples, not liking where this is going.

Martin gasped in fake offense, "Billy! I'm offended! I'll just 'talk' to the guy! After all what are big brothers for?"

"Torturing their sisters?" Billy muttered as Martin went to walk towards his destination.
