CHAPTER SIX: Flower power
~*~
It's February 14th. I'm Liz Parker, and today is Valentine's Day. In the past, Valentine's Day has always been another day in the year; nothing special. But this year, I think it's going to be different. I feel different. With Max--
"Liz!" a familiar voice called from outside Liz's porch.
Liz placed down her black diary on the bed and stepped through the window. She looked down of the back and saw Max. The boy who saved her life.
"Max, what are you doing here? It's seven in the morning.."
"Can I come up?"
"I guess so, yeah. We can't wake my parents," explained Liz, but Max was already half way up the ladder.
"Close your eyes," Max said in a sweet tone.
Liz took a long glance into Max's eyes before she closed her own. The rising sun shone on her face while she waited for Max. She tucked a piece of her long, brown hair behind her ear; she felt a silky petal hit her hand:
"Max?"
"Open them," Max whispered.
Liz opened her eyes to see red and pink rose petals falling all around her and Max.
"Happy Valentine's Day," Max said, putting his hands to her face and beginning to kiss; and they continued to kiss as the sun rose higher, shining off the soft petals around them.

"JODI!" Charlotte shouted, slamming on the bathroom door, "We are going to be late...again!"
"We'll be even later if you brake the door down!" said Jodi, running out of the bathroom, down the stairs, grabbing her bookbag and the car keys on her way out the door.
"Wait!" Charlotte ran down the stairs, chasing her sister, "I need my poptarts!"
"Just hurry up!"
Charlotte rolled her eyes, snatching her poptarts from the toaster. She ran out the front door, slamming it shut on the way. She nearly jumped in the passenger's seat - Jodi had the car already started.
"Jodi, you always drive," Charlotte complained.
"So? At least I have the guts to drive the speed limit," said Jodi, looking at the clock which read 7:25 - they have five minutes.
"...What?" remarked Charlotte, "I *so* drive the speed limit."
"No, you don't."
"Yes I do!"
"Just shut up. Now that you have a job, you can earn the money to buy your own car."
"Why only me? What about you? You do need a job, you know. And no, you aren't getting one at the Crashdown. No way."
"I wasn't planning on it anyways. I'll find some place."
"You know what? I'll even ask Maria and Liz, they'll know of a place, no doubt."
"Aw, well thanks, sissy," Jodi joked, nudging Charlotte on the arm in the most sarcastic way possible.
"Don't even," laughed Charlotte.
Jodi parked the car in a parking spot that was not so far away from the one on her first day of school. They both darted from the car into the school; the bells were ringing for homeroom.
~*~
"What's the hurry?" a voice said with a bitter tone to it.
Jodi turned around in a hustle, bumping directly into a familiar-looking kid, "Sorry, Michael. But happy Valentine's Day nevertheless," she said in a hurry, handing him a random paper flower before briskly walking off to homeroom.
"Have a grand Valentine's Day" Michael quietly read the Valentine. It was obviously from the store. How impersonal, he thought as he folded the flower and dropped it to the floor.
~*~
"It was so amazing, Maria. It was like nothing I've ever felt before," bragged Liz.
"Don't worry, I've heard it all before, Liz," Maria rolled her eyes.
Maria, Liz, and Charlotte sat around the Crashdown after school. The place was pretty dead as usual. A few people walked past outside along with cars. Liz dreamily wiped off the counter, as always, while Maria and Charlotte were sitting down.
"Guys, I was wondering," Charlotte began, "Do you know of any other places to work in Roswell? My sister I think was going to look for one."
"Well, there are a few random restaurants to hostess or waitress at, like Senor Chow's, the Mexican restaurant," said Liz.
"Or the UFO Center," Maria added.
"Max works there," Liz explained, "You haven't met him yet, have you?"
"No, I haven't," said Charlotte, "But my sister has a locker next to his. And from what I heard, he sounds like Mr. Wonderful."
"Exactly," Maria sighed to herself, "Unlike some other people we know."
"Who?" Charlotte asked.
"Only Michael. Michael Guerin." Maria sighed again, "He didn't even get me anything for Valentine's Day."
"Yet. It's only 4 o'clock, Maria," Liz smiled.
"Right. That's reassuring," said Maria, rolling her eyes to Charlotte.

Kyle was sitting in his bedroom when he heard a knock at the door. "Yeah?"
Kyle's dad opened the door to his son's room. "How are you doing?"
"Fine..dad," Kyle didn't bother to look up. After a few seconds, he said, "..And how about you?"
"Pretty good, son. Have you been to the Crashdown lately?"
"Dad, is this about Liz? 'Cause it's been over."
"No, no, it's not."
"Well..?"
"Eh, nothing really. Just a new waitress. But I'm leaving now. You know, some work intown."
"Right, dad." sighed Kyle, continuing not to look up at his father who slowly closed the door.
