Chapter Four

There are many reasons why people become best friends. It may be that they like a lot of the same things. Or it could be because they just click with a certain person. Pretty much my whole life people wondered my Tess and I were always connected at the hip. Most people think it's because we both lost our mothers when we were really young.

But I think we were brought together though our mutual bad luck. It seems like bad luck just hangs over us like we are the only two people it knows at a new school.

Bad luck has this way of coming up on you when you are not paying attention. Jumping in your face saying here I am did you forget me?

Really I blame Tess for everything she has thrown so many things at me in the last hour that I was seriously not looking out for it.

Because as I got m sentence out telling her I would help her I felt someone tap me on my shoulder. Turning around there they are together Isabel and Maria.

"Help her with what Liz?" Great could things get any worse?

"Oh nothing just talking about how stupid you are." I say with a huge smile.

"Nice of you to come Liz, Tess." This is Isabel, always the calm one. "It was so nice that you could make it but I'm sorry we are closing up the party now." She says with a fake smile.

People that don't know Isabel say that she is the sweetest girl they have ever met. You haven't seen the real Isabel Evans.

"Well it doesn't seem like the party is coming to an end. In fact it seems like it's just getting started," giving her the same fake smile back.

Oh great Maria is opening her mouth to speak like anyone cares, "Look Liz no one wants you here. All the girls are afraid that you are going to sleep with their boyfriends."

"Well, I have never slept with a guy that didn't want it," really where does she get off.

"Let's get down to what this is really about. I want you to keep you disease infested paws off of Michael. Got me." Maria is starting to turn red with anger.

"Oh I'm sorry are you and Michael back on because I thought he dropped you." Her face falls I can tell I hit a nerve.

"We are just taking a break," even Isabel is amused by that statement.

"God Maria, High School is over. Grow up and get over it."

Yes that's right people it's him, tall, pale beautiful skin, blond hair, dark eyes have you ever seen such a beautiful man. Well, in real life that is.

"Come on Isabel," she says as she huffs away.

"Enjoy the party," Isabel says with what looks like a real smile.

I turn around and see both Max and Michael looking at Tess and myself. Well it seems like Max has a thing for Tess. I can tell by the way that he is looking at her.

Tess who was pretty quiet while I was verbally fighting with Isabel and Maria seems to have gotten her confidence back. "So Max, I've heard that you parents collect paintings."

Max just smiles at her, "Yeah, would you like to see some. I can show you things you've never seen before."

Oh God what a line.

"Sure, I would love to." Wow, did she really need my help seems like she can get a man fine on her own. "Are you ok Liz?" I can't believe she is going to do this just give herself to him, like a steak on platter.

"Yeah, I'll find some way of entertaining her." Since when does Michael want to spend time with me? Tess and Max are making their way across the room to the stairs. I just know he better not hurt her.

"So Liz, what brings you here tonight?" He says looking right into my eyes.

I feel my heart start to race.

"Why do you care?"

"Because Liz Parker you fascinate me."

Maybe you can only have so much bad luck before you get some good luck your way.
