Dear Michael,

What am I thinking? Why have I gotten so involved with you and your alien posse? This is entirely your fault. I don't get why you've been avoiding me. My theory is that that kiss meant more to you than your letting on. Why do you have to have such a bad attitude? You really need someone to squash that ego of yours. I guess I was wrong about you. We won't have something great like Max and Liz will. It's so obvious the two of them love each other, look at us: one kiss led me to believe that we had something. I know I can be pushy but that's no reason to avoid the subject o f us totally. Things have been crazy lately, you know with Max ending up in hospital but that's no excuse for the way you've been treating me. The only reason I act so bitchy towards you is because I like you, shame you won't know that though. It's a shame you'll never actually know how I feel about you if you keep avoiding me. You'd think you had never talked to a human girl before. I've gotten myself to
worked up about you, I ought to stop writing to you. It's not as though you'll ever get to read it.

Maria

Michael could recall how he had tried to avoid her. He was never good with girls. Being lonely for so long had left him unsure about many things, love being the main one. He could remember how sometimes he wished he had someone to hold, someone to love, but not being human had stopped him from getting this. His life had left him with no belief in love, if it wasn't for Maria and his friends he would now be a lonely heartless man. Maria had brought a bright warm light into his life, which had awakened his heart and allowed him to love and show his feelings. She had been the fire which thawed his heart out of the ice in which it had become stuck for so long. Around her he felt not only wanted but needed.
