This a Groundzero(maria/max), polarists(liz/michael) and creamers(isabel/kyle)
fan fiction.

The next day was the first day of school. It was their third year in high school, so one more year
until they graduate. Entering the doorway was Liz and Maria. They were the most fashionable
girls in the school, including they were popular.

Liz wore blue denim skirt, a pink top and her favorite black high heeled knee boots. Her hair was
put up in a messy bun. Maria wore black skirt, baby blue top and black boots just like Liz's, just
only a little shorter.

Maria couldn't stop thinking about what happened yesterday at the Crashdown. She saved some
one in the public eye. 'Hopefully, he won't be here today.' she thought.

Liz and Maria found their lockers, which happened to be right next to each other. "Maria, we
need to talk about yesterday." said Liz. "I know, but not now, during school." replied Maria. "Well,
Kyle isn't gonna be here." said Liz. "Why not??" asked Maria. "He's sick. He's got a cold or
something." explained Liz.

"Poor Kyle." said Maria, making a puppy dog face. "We'll survive without him." said Liz. "Yeah."
Maria said. They first bell had rung, which means that you have 5 more minutes until class starts.
"What do you have first?" asked Maria as her and Liz walked down the hall together. "Um,
Chemistry." replied Liz.

"So do I!!!" screamed Maria. They found the classroom and waited outside the door since it was
locked. "Uhhh, 1 and a half minutes left!!!" exclaimed Maria. "This will be the only time that I will
be using my powers in school." said Liz as she smiled deviously.

Liz got closer to the lock of the door and Liz lifted her hand on top of it. She felt a spark come
out of her and the lock exploded. "I'll fix it." said Maria. She took the lock and made it look brand
new.

They entered the classroom and the final bell had rung. In there was none other than Max,
Michael and Isabel. 'Oh, no.' thought Maria as she saw Max. Her and Liz sat together across
from Max and Michael. Isabel sat in front of them.

"Well, class. Today we're going to be talking about cells. Human cells that is." explained the
teacher. Max wasn't paying attention. His own focus was on Maria and her little friend Liz. "I will
chose your partners for this assignment. He read off the list and Max heard that him and Maria
will work together.

Liz was Michael and Isabel since one of the students weren't here and Liz knew who it was.

Maria rolled her eyes at the thought of her and Max doing this together. Ever since yesterday,
she was not liking this whole saving a human thing going on. "Well, class, get started." said the
teacher. Maria walked over to where Max was waitng and sat right next to him in the stool. "So,
let's get this over with." said Maria.

Max looked over at her and nodded. About 10 minutes later, they already tested Max's cells and
they were normal. Maria didn't want to share her cells, since they were alien cells. Maria was
biting and sucking on her pencil when she heard the teacher call her name. This was the perfect
time for Max to see ther cells.

He took the pencil, used a cotton swab to put on the glass and was amazed at what he saw. Her
cells weren't red and normal. They were green. Max saw Maria come back to the lab and wiped
off the glassy part. The bell had rung when Maria was back and he knew that he and Maria
needed to talk about yesterday.

Max left and Maria followed. Maria went by the music room when a arm grabbed her.

Maria screamed softly when she saw Max's reflection. "What the hell are you doing??!!"
screamed Maria. "We need to talk about yesterday, now." replied Max.
"Fine, let's talk." said Maria. "Okay. I saw you cells from your pencil today, during the lab and
they weren't normal. They were green and then that saving me yesterday at the Cafe. What are
you?" explained Max.

Maria knew that she couldn't hide the truth, so she told him."Okay, I'm not from here." said
Maria. "Where?" asked Max. "I'm from up north as she pointed up to the sky. "Washington?"
asked Max. Maria kept going up when Max finally got it. "Oh!!!!" exclaimed Max.

"Yes, Max, I am an alien. Me, Liz and Kyle." said Maria, seeming a little embarassed. "Wow!!
Um, who else knows about this?" asked Max. "Only you do now Max. Please don't tell anyone."
begged Maria. Max nodded adn was about to leave when Maria blocked his way. "Don't tell,
Max." said Maria one last time before she left the music room.

Max called after her but she didn't reply. Max was standing alone in the hallway, thinking about
her..............................
