Maria stopped her jetta right in front of Liz's house. She didn't need to wait long before Liz hoped into the shotgun seat. Liz looked more on-edge than usual.
"What's wrong, Liz? You've looked different since yesterday," Maria said bluntly.
Maria could hear Liz sigh and risked darting her concerned eyes to friend.
"If I tell you, do you promise not to think I am really weird?" Liz asked, nervously.
"You mean more than usual?" Maria joked. When Liz didn't laugh Maria rolled her eyes. "Look at who your talking to, Liz. I'm your best friend; we been best friends since I can remember.
"Well, its kinda hard to explain. When I'm near Michael-you know, the new guy with spikes-I feel ... something," Liz threw up her hands to add empathizes the last word.
Maria couldn't help feeling a little jealous. She could tell Michael had to like Liz, he was always running up to her. Maria knew that she had no right to be upset, but she had liked Michael. Not that she'd ever admit that.
"You like him. I get it. When you said 'him' yesterday, you meat 'Michael.' No big deal. But I don't get why you didn't just tell me from the beginning," Maria tried to sound causal.
"No, it isn't like that Maria. It is really different that anything else I've ever felt before," Liz told her friend.
"Well, you've never felt lust, so..." Maria didn't need to finish her sentence. She knew that it was a really mean thing to say but Maria felt like Liz was betraying her.
"Never mind, I knew you wouldn't understand," Liz said moodily.
They drove to Alex's house in silence. Maria hoped they wouldn't have to mention the new students until first period when they would be sitting right next to them.
Alex climbed into the back-seat looking excited. He didn't seem to notice the tension when he said, "Hey guys! Isn't that new girl so hot? Her name's Isabel, it that the greatest name ever? I know you two might have noticed, so let me tell you. She is. She's got the perfect hair, eyes, lips..." Alex began.
'So much for that idea' Maria thought, before pulling out of Alex's driveway

Isabel screamed on the top of her lungs. Within moments a sleepy, but worried, Max ran into his sister's room.
Max's hair was standing straight up. He was dressed in only navy blue boxers, so his perfect, tight, abbs were clearly showing. (hehe, I've got such a dirt mind!)
Max was breathing heavy from quickly running between the two rooms in a matter in seconds.
"What's... wrong?" he breathed.
Isabel was calmly sitting looking at her mirror. She was fully dressed and already had make-up on.
"You aren't ready! How are we going to make the bus if you aren't even dressed?" Isabel screamed.
"We're taking the jeep. But why did you scream?"
"Oh, that. My hair won't come out right. Why are we taking the jeep? I thought you were the one who wanted to take the bus yesterday. You even convinced Michael go on it," Isabel had gone back to brushing her hair.
Max slowly turned and started going back to his bed. "The only way I got him to go was to tell him we could take the jeep everyday after. I only wanted to find the way to go to school for the first day," his last sentence was barely heard. Max's head was buried deep under his blanket and he was already snoring by the time he had finished his last sentence.
Isabel rolled her eyes. "We're going to be late. Then you won't have enough time to get ready. You'll end up going to school looking like a loser. What will that girl Liz think?"
Max quickly jumped out of bed and ran into the bathroom. Isabel grinned, her brother had a crush!

"Where are she? Do you see her? Why isn't she here yet?" Alex whined for the hundredth time.
Maria had put up with his obsession for longer than she had thought could be possible. If she had to hear about how perfect Isabel Evans was one more time, she would lose it.
"Where is Isabel? You know, I've only known her less than day but already I know she is perfect," Alex was saying.
Finally, Maria noticed that a black jeep was pulling inside the parking lot. Inside the jeep was Isabel, Michael, and the last guy. What was his name again?
"There you go, Alex! You've got your chance to speak to Isabel," Maria said with a smug grin.
Predictably, Alex looked down and blushed. "I... I don't know if I should ... should actually go talk to her," Alex stuttered. Suddenly he brightened. "But you two could! You could go over there and start talking to her. Go on."
Before Maria had time to process what was happening, Alex was pushing Liz and her towards the jeep. With a surprising strength, Alex kept pushing until Michael had seen Liz. At that point he didn't need to keep pulling Maria because Michael had started heading towards them, with Isabel and the other boy right behind him.
Maria huffed as Michael stared at Liz.
"Perfect, just perfect," Maria muttered.
"What is?" the perfect Isabel asked, looking up from her own staring session with Alex.
"Them," Maria explained, pointing vaguely to Michael and Liz.
The two of her confused looks.
"I don't know your talking about," Michael said finally.
"Oh, please. You don't have to keep up the act. She likes you back. She basically told me so in the car coming to school. Just ask her out, I grantee a yes," Maria finished bitterly.
The second the words had escaped Maria's lips, she wished she could take them back. Even she couldn't have foreseen the reaction she had caused. Michael took a step back in surprise. He cringed up his perfect nose in disgust.
Liz eyes held a dangerous mix between pain and anger. She looked about ready to strangle Maria, but at the same time she looked ready to cry.
However, Maria got the biggest the surprise when she saw the boy whose name she forgot. He looked so hurt. Maria hadn't realized that she ruin everything by one little statement.
"We should go to class, we wouldn't want to be late again," Isabel said, finally breaking everyone out of the uncomfortable silent.
"I'll show you where the class is!" Alex jumped at this once-in-a-lifetime chance.
Maria noticed Isabel gave a slight simile before quickly becoming icy again and just shrugged.
When they left, Liz and Maria were left alone. Liz still looked like she was in shock over what had happened. But the two of them had never been in a situation that they couldn't talk themselves out of. After all, they were best friends.
Liz shook her head before saying, "I'm going to help Alex. Knowing him, he'll get so excited over being near Isabel that he'll lead them in the opposite direction," Liz told Maria before running off the direction the other four had just gone.
Years of her and Liz being so close they could speak without words to each other, and in less than five minutes Maria had menage to throw all that out for a guy she barely knew.
And it wasn't even first period yet.
