A/N: hey this is a story I've been posting elsewhere for a while and I
thought I'd try it here and see how it went. I'm not greedy but if I don't
get any feedback then there won't be any updates, this is not meant as a
threat it's just I'll forget to update if no one reminds me! I hope you
enjoy it!
Disclaimer: I own nothing, I just like to pretend I do! Rating: PG-13 Summary: Back in the days before we knew about the aliens, in the days when Roswell was just a name to us. Things have changed, I'm in charge now! Lol, this is the way it would have worked if I had anything to do with it!
Liz' POV
Roswell, New Mexico, Small town USA. Yes my Roswell! There's restaurants, shops, houses and a high school.
Ahhh, high school! You know how in all the films there are an elite few who rule the school, and then there are the geeks and the rest don't seem to feature? Well all I can say is Welcome to West Roswell High!
This is just your stereotypical high school. The cheerleaders and jocks take control, most of the geeks snort when they laugh, and the rest of us just seem to fade into the wall paper! Sickening huh?
So meet me, Liz Parker. Nothing special, just Liz. I live in Roswell, New Mexico. I'm just your normal small town girl. I go to a normal high school, have normal friends, eat normal food, everything about me is normal. I have normal long, straight, dark hair, one nose, two eyes and a mouth! Again nothing special, except, perhaps, for my eyes. It's strange that in a girl so normal as me, two amazing eyes have been placed. I mean really, if I didn't have these eyes I would kill to get them! They're big and dark and they just seem to go on forever! They're my best feature, my only exciting feature.
Whoops, sorry, where was I? Oh that was it, so have normal parents, live in a normal apartment, well, apart from the fact that it's above an alien themed restaurant, but more about that later. I have a normal status in school, really I should be a geek cos I get straight A's, but there are a few certain factors that a pulled me away from the world of geekdom. My best friend Alex is one of those factors, he's lead guitarist of the most popular band in school, 'The Whits', it's even named after him, Alex Whitman! Kyle Valenti is another factor, he's captain of the football team, most sought after guy in school, with drop dead gorgeous looks and he's my boyfriend. Please don't ask me how that happened! Cos really I have no idea!! One day at school he just walked up to me and asked me out, I didn't listen at first because when you're one of the nameless and the stud of the school walks up to you and asks you out you're bound to be suspicious! But I gave way in the end and it turned out he really did like me! We've been dating for a year now.
I guess the only reason Kyle ever looked at me was my eyes! I know I sound obsessive but really they're the only interesting part of me! Everything else you could sum up in just a few words,
NORMAL, Nothing special, average, the norm!
Yup that's me, NORMAL! God, I hate that word! And my life well that's just scintillating. I have two best friends, Alex, the one from before, and Maria, crazed hippy chick! We're inseparable, always have been, even since before we were born! Our moms went to birthing classes together, we were practically born on the same day! We hang out everyday, at school and at my parents restaurant.
Like I said before, it's alien themed on the crash in '47. What? You've never heard of the crash? Wow! Some one didn't listen too well in their history lessons! OK so here's a quick run down to the history of Roswell:
1946: Roswell, New Mexico, a small town no one had ever heard of. Population 500, main attraction the local farm ball that took place once a year, oh, and the eraser room at school, you all know what that was for! No one had a clue what was on it's way to rip the cosy little town apart.
1947: A UFO falls from the sky crashing just outside Roswell in Polhman Ranch. The town becomes a honey pot for TV shows, the FBI and Sci-fi freaks. Loads of people moved away, they just couldn't take the constant attention. Even after the government declared the object from the sky an air balloon, trekkies from all over the globe flocked to see us. Some people rose to the idea completely, one was my grandfather, he got the idea of setting up a restaurant and theming it after the crash! Another was some nutter who set up the UFO center just across the road from us, it's like a UFO museum. Most of it is rubbish but it seems to please the tourists!
So that's Liz Parker's 'A history of Roswell'. It's nothing that exciting, and me, well I think most of it's bull! I mean why would the government bother to cover up something like that? I'm not a big one for government conspiracies any way but aliens, well that's just taking a flying leap off the edge of sanity! Really! And I stick to what I believe, I stand up for it! I did once in biology when we some how got onto the subject of aliens, I leaned over to my lab partner and told him exactly what I thought! His name's Max Evans, I'll tell you more about him later, I promise. He didn't say much in answer to my comments, he just seemed to ignore them.
So like I was saying before you got me sidetracked, I live above an alien themed restaurant. I'm the third generation of Parkers to live in that crazy place and that's basically where my life revolves around. It's called the Crashdown, cheesy huh! I waitress there with Maria and Alex flips burgers. You wouldn't believe the uniform my dad makes us wear! Get this, Short, fitted, turquoise mini dress with and alien apron and antennae! But I'm not complaining, it adds some spice to my other wise NORMAL life!
And that's my life! Chilling with Alex and Maria, waitressing, going to school, going out with Kyle, oh and reading! I love it, I live for it! See my inner geek showing it's true colours! But really I love books, they take me away from this dull life and off to another place. I sit out on my balcony at night and read. I have candles all around me and star light above me, so I sit there and leave this world for a while, and travel to distant lands, lands where my soul mate hides. I like the classics the best, timeless tales of loves that will never die! Just like I want.
Sometimes when I'm done reading I stare up at the stars. They're mine, just like my books, my personal dream lands that no one else can touch! There live my Romeos and my Juliettes, my Jane Eyers and my Mr Rochesters, my Elizabeth Bennets and my Mr Darcys. I dream about someone like that, someone for me. Why do you need that, you ask, When you have Kyle? I guess you could say I love Kyle, but I'm not IN love with him. He's not my soul mate, he's not THE ONE, the one that the second you see them bonds with your soul. No, that's not Kyle, he's sweet and funny and I care about him a lot, really I do. I'm not heartless, but I think he feels the same way, he doesn't love me and really I'm not right for him. We have a laugh, we're good friends, but beyond that there could be nothing!
And so I watch the stars and I wait. Waiting for the love that should come. My love!
