A/N: Hey guys! Sorry I haven't updated since Tuesday, life got a little
busy. In response to one piece of feedback I just wanted to make everyone
aware that this is a re-write of Roswell, therefore any changes there are
to the original story are intentional and I am aware of them. Please keep
on reviewing! And if anyone knows how to do the html tags please please let
me know how! Cos they would really help with a few of the coming chapters!
CHAPTER 10
Max' POV
You would not believe the day I've had! Having to dodge all the jocks, cheerleaders AND your own sister! I don't know what's worse, a quick death by jocks and cheerleaders or a slow and painful death by your alien sister! What a great life I lead! Ha!
But against all the odds Max has succeeded! My tactical dives into class rooms, avoiding Liz and well timed disappearances obviously paid off. I think I have now earned the title of superhero! I think I'll be called Alien man! Will my green cape and fake big black eyes! Michael can be my side-kick we can call him Why-the-hell-bother-saving-the-world-I'd-rather- watch-the-hockey boy! And he can wear pants over tights! Wouldn't that be fun?
Yes, the long day is finally beginning to rub off on my sanity! I even had to skip lunch to stay alive! So now I'm driving home, alone, my sister will be home later! I just need to psyche myself up for the big alien show down! Michael, Is and I have an alien power meeting (Don't you just love the name! Michael thought it up all by himself! Clever boy!) tonight to practice our powers! So we can be ready to fight evil and save the world! The terrific alien trio! Fighting for a better universe against all evil!! In actual fact it's cos we used to get so bored on Friday nights we knew we had to do something!
Wait a second, is that. is that Liz? Whoa! How many books can she carry? But I'm not gonna stop. it's really not a good idea, I'll just get us into more trouble. What the-? Why are we slowing down? Hell, why won't my feet listen to my brain?
'Hey! Are you OK there? Do you want a ride?'
Could I sound anymore cliché?
'Uh, yeah sure.'
Oh god! Liz Parker is in the car next to me! Say something Max, say something!
Really? You actually want me to say 'something'? Whoa, OK I get the picture, jut put the rocks down.
What do I say? I mean I don't want to stuff it up like I did this morning. Ah, this morning.
'Look Liz I'm really sorry about earlier and everything.'
Pause! Pause! What's with the pause? Perhaps she doesn't want to forgive me.
'It's OK, really you have nothing to say sorry about.' I don't? Oh just getting you into trouble, embarrassing you, and giving Pam food for rumors. Oh of course! Nothing to apologize for!?!
'Ok, but all the same, I'm really sorry.'
Well I'm glad that's over. Oh not the silence again! What do I say? HELP!
'Mushrooms.'
What?!? OK Liz not exactly the conversation starter I would have picked, but whatever suits your tastes.
'What?'
'I was just asking where Isabel is.'
You were? Well that's a new way of asking. Maybe I'll try it sometime.
Right so that was a good sign, she's interested in your family. 'Oh she's at the match, Pam asked her along.'
Oh good going idiot! Mention Liz' arch nemesis! Clever boy!
'The match? Oh yeah, Kyle's playing.'
Ah.. Kyle. Right. I'll take that as a hint. So I guess you can see how much she loves him, she must think about him all the time. I suppose it's hopeless for me unless I become a Kyle Valenti clone, and I really don't see that happening anytime soon! I should just try and move on from Liz, it's never gonna happen. She's already taken, heart, mind and soul!
