Well, I somehow survived another day of high school, the youngest
Parker thought to herself as she flung her bookbag down on her bed. Somehow
I do it day after day, she mused to herself. I think I deserve a treat, she
thought as she reached into the green ceramic alien head. She laughed as
she thought how ironic it was to be reaching inside an alien's head. I wish
I knew what was in Max's head, she thought as she munched on the cookie. I
wonder what was up with him, the dark haired teenager thought, maybe I
should call him. Wasn't that Alex's suggestion?
The girl pondered it as she walked back down the familiar hallway
that lead to her room. As she closed the door, she decided that she would.
She reached for her purple phone, and just as she reached, the phone rang.
Liz jumped back, startled, and then reached for the shrill ring thing.
"Hello?"
"Hey girl. It's me. Listen. You will not believe what happened when I
went to ask Max for a ride home."
Liz got herself comfortable as she listened to her friend tell all
about how she had caught Michael checking her out. Liz got so comfortable
that her blonde haired friend had to yell at her to wake up.
"What? Oh, I'm sorry Maria. What were you saying?"
"Oh, it's all right. Hey, have you called Max yet?"
"No."
"Okay, I'll let you call him. Tell me all about it tomorrow. See ya."
"See ya."
Liz yawned as she put the phone back into its cradle. Now that she had the chance, Liz hesitated for a moment before she called Max. Is he going to be nice to me about Derrick? Of course, Max is always nice to me. It's one of the things that made me like him in the first place, not to mention love. She picked up the phone and dialed the number that she had memorized since she had first seen him come off the bus on that fateful day. She listened to it ring two times, and then heard a girly voice come on the line. "Hello? Evans residence." "Hi, Isabel? Hey, is Max-" "Oh. This isn't Isabel."
Liz furrowed her brow in confusion. If that wasn't Isabel then who could it.
"This is Candy." "Candy. Candy Swanson?" "Yep." "Oh. Um, hi. Could I please talk to Max?" "He's kinda busy right now." "Well, I'm sure he would like to talk to me. It's really important." Liz had a feeling that Candy was keeping her from Max on purpose.
"Well, I don't think so. He's in the shower."
Liz was glad that Candy couldn't see the look on her face. Part confusion, part horror. "Oh. Well, I guess he can't then." What she really wanted to say was why the heck you are there, but her polite upbringing stopped her. "Do you want me to tell him you called?" Liz thought about it. "No. It's okay. I'll talk to him tomorrow." After saying goodbye, only then did Liz realize that Candy didn't even ask for her name. She's up to something, Liz thought, up to something bad.
