Monday February 14th Nearly8:00 A.M.
Isabel Evans jumped out of the jeep and practically ran to homeroom. Max had been acting weird ever since he got back from the library. Isabel felt like she was getting a sugar rush whenever she was around him.
Michael wandered down the hall. He looked as if he'd lost something. A hand reached out of the eraser room and pulled him inside.
"Liz, I've been looking all over for you."
"I was right here waiting, spaceboy." The back of Liz's fingers stroked along his jaw to his mouth. "Actually, I've been waiting all morning, and I've had enough waiting." Her voice sounded seductive. Liz moved in for a passionate kiss, and Michael melted into her.
Mt. Olympus
If anyone could be said to glide across a floor with absolute grace and elegance and still move angrily, Aphrodite could. She threw back the covers on the bed. Eros shivered and curled up.
"It's my day off. I took care of all the lovebirds yesterday," Eros whined.
"Half the couples in Roswell are mismatched. I will not have a mockery made of the Day of Love."
"The spells wear off in 36 hours. Everyone will be back to normal by tomorrow morning, so what difference does it make who's with who as long as they're happy."
With a flick of her wrist, Aphrodite sent Eros flying across the room. He slammed into the wall nearly toppling a marble bust sitting nearby. Aphrodite's eyes shone with barely contained fury.
"If you don't fix the mess you made, don't think all the mists in Hades will hide you from my wrath."
"I'll just get my bow and be on my way." Eros disappeared as quickly as possible.
Roswell
The first warning bell for homeroom rang shrilly. Michael pulled himself away from Liz. "Class," he mumbled.
"No," Liz pouted.
"We really should go to class. I don't want to ruin your perfect record." Liz looked pleadingly at Michael. "Besides, I won't be far away."
"Alright. I'll go," she grudgingly consented.
Liz reached for the doorknob, but Michael stopped her. He placed a scroll of paper tied with a delicate red ribbon in her hand.
"What's this?" she asked smiling.
"In case you ever doubt what you mean to me, this is a reminder." Michael looked slightly embarrassed and then rushed off down the hall to his homeroom.
Liz untied the scroll and began reading on the way to class.
The nights were so cold I froze inside.
The days were so hot my tears turned to dust.
And then there was you.
You reach to the darkest corners of my soul.
You are my light without end.
Your heart is my most cherished possession.
It has braved all my challenges and crumbled my walls.
Your kisses caress my wounded psyche.
Your touch mends all my woes.
If the stars were to come crashing down,
We would not be divided.
A sorcerer who commands the planets
Has less control than you do over my heart.
My body, my heart, my love is yours.
Liz stared glassy eyed at the love note as she sat down at her desk in homeroom. Isabel leaned toward her.
"What are you reading Liz? A letter confessing unending devotion?" Isabel smiled jokingly. Liz gingerly handed Isabel the note. She glanced over the note, amusement spreading over her face. "Who wrote this?" Isabel asked.
"Michael," Liz sighed.
"Michael, who?" Isabel questioned.
"Michael Guerin, of course," laughed Liz. The bell rang for 1st period. Liz plucked the love note out of Isabel's limp fingers and practically bounced out the door. Isabel could only gape in shock.
