Max Evans- My
mom says I should write all my thoughts, my true feelings, in this journal. I
have nothing to say. Why should I write my true feelings in some journal, when
I can't even understand what my true feelings are? The most I can do is use
this journal to sort everything out. One thing I'm pretty sure I have certain,
is this- I love Liz. I always have, always will. Maria tells me, "Max, give her
up. You two can't be together. She slept with Kyle," Maybe she did, but I don't
think so. Something deep inside tells me she didn't. Maria then says, "Just let
her go, Max. She doesn't want to be with you," And maybe she doesn't, but there
would have to be a reason. Maria says all those things, but she's never once
said Liz doesn't love me anymore. To me, it seems like Maria's hiding
something. Something big. Liz is obviously in on it, too. What was she going to
say to me in Las Vegas? That vision I had felt real. Very real. Like something
that should have happened, but didn't. Of course, I'm probably just
grasping at straws. Maria and Liz are lying to me. That means Kyle's lying,
too. Everyone's lying to me. Except Tess. Maybe I should be with Tess. She's my
destiny, isn't she? It would probably be for the best, and I could learn to
love her. Or maybe I'm lying to myself now, too.
Maria DeLuca- Journal's are usually Liz's
thing, but I might as well give it a try. Vegas rocked! It was the coolest
vacation of my life. Except for the stripping auditions, of course. Sometimes,
helping hybrid freaks really pays off. It's too bad Liz didn't really enjoy
herself. She really needs to get over Max. Soon. Or just tell him the truth and
live happily ever after. I say, "Screw the world!" the only reason she didn't
like it was that it was were she and Max would have gotten married in the
future. Stupid Future Max for making her do this. Stupid Tess for leaving.
Stupid world for being so cruel to Liz and Max. They can't live without each
other, and they know it. I feel like we've warped into Soap-opera Land. Liz is
the main character, the girl who falls in love with a hot, dark, mysterious guy
and they go through all these problems…by the way, the guy would be Max. And
I'm the best friend who keeps pushing Liz to either get back with Max or forget
about him. Michael's the (no-duh) Non-boyfriend guy whom I keep breaking-up
with, in the end I know we'll end up together, just like Max and Liz will. Kyle
is the good old guy who used to like, and now Liz uses him for her plans to
make Max fall out of love with her. And Max is always stupid enough to believe
the lies. And since I'm the best friend, I'll probably be the one who ends up
spilling Liz's secret to Max. Tess is the stupid, little, slutty…who keeps
getting in the way of Max and Liz. Isabel is the ice-princess who ends up
falling for a cute, dorky guy (Alex) who happens to like her too. Heck, I don't
need to watch TV! I'm living in a soap opera!
Isabel Evans- I like Alex, I really do. He's so sweet to me and he's so cute
and…well, he's almost perfect! I know I
sound like a freak, but oh, well. I like Alex a lot, I'm just not sure I love
him. Wait. I do love him, I'm just not sure I'm in love with him. How
does some one actually tell? How can Max tell he's in love with Liz? What are
the signs? Are there signs? Or does…does something in your heart just say,
"He's the one?" I've heard all these girls say, "Oh, Josh is the one. He's my
soul mate!" and I always thought it was
so shallow, because the next week they'll be saying some one else is their soul
mate. Max always thought Liz was his soul mate, and I accepted that. When they were together I always hoped there
would be some one who loved me that much. Some one I could call my "soul mate".
Now, Max and Liz aren't together, they're…I don't know, they're just different
now. I'm afraid that means that there's no hope for me. Seriously, if Max
and Liz, the perfect couple, can't work things out, then how can I expect
to find true love, or have it last? Then, when I was dancing with Alex in Las
Vegas, I thought…you know what? Maybe, just maybe, Alex is my soul mate.
Michael Guerin- Why am I writing this? What is the point? Maria gives me a stupid
little black journal as a thank-you gift for taking every one to Vegas, and I
feel obliged to write in it? How stupid is that? Very stupid. There's not much
to write…Liz and Max are still doing the "I love you, but I can't be with you"
thing that really gets on my nerves. Believe me, by the end of the school year,
they'll be back together and all happy-mushy-lovey-dovey with those moony-eyes
of theirs. Enough to make anyone gag. Sadly though, I kind of miss that. At
least then, they were happy. Now everyone just mopes around all the time.
Except when we were in Vegas. It's like our lives revolve around Max and Liz's
relationship. How pathetic is that? Everyone feels better when Max and Liz are
together. When they're not, all we do is fight evil aliens. And now, we're not
even doing that. We're doing nothing. Nada. Zip-o. Something interesting has
got to happen, soon.
Alex Whitman- I love dancing. I really do. It's one of my favorite hobbies.
Especially when I'm dancing with Isabel. Okay, I admit it. I like dancing only
when it's with Isabel. I'm such a geek. Isabel came to me only after she
decided it wasn't going to work with some other guy. I think his name was…Dog,
or Doug, or…Dan! Yeah, anyway, she was sort of using me as a last resort. At
least that's how I see it. Yet I was still there for her. I thought I wasn't
going to be a doormat for her anymore…all right. I'm making a promise right
now. I am not going to give in to Isabel. That is, if she wants to start
something up again. I'm not going to. If I do, I'll just end up a lovesick
puppy again.
Tess Harding- Max and Liz looked like they were going to get back together
while they were dancing in Vegas. But they didn't. Why not? It was the perfect
time. Maybe Max really is starting to fall for me. He's been leaning on me as a
friend for a long time now. Maybe it'll turn into something more…maybe he'll
realize we really are destined. Maybe he'll decide he still loves me….or maybe
it's just wishful thinking. Maybe I'm better off with Kyle.
Kyle Valenti- I've spiritually been thinking over everything that has been
happening in my life since the little green men entered it, and I've come to
the conclusion that Tess and Max definitely do not belong together. I mean,
they don't even look good together. And their personalities are definitely not
compatible. I believe all that destiny stuff is crap. I do not like Tess, I
swear. I'm just saying it's for her best interest not to be with Max.
Seriously. He's just not right for her. She needs a guy who has some sense of
humor at least, who's not so controlling, who is more spiritually in tune
with…okay I'm stopping now.
