Chapter 1
Max's bedroom-Max lay on his bed thinking about all that's happened this past summer.
"I wish I could just start this whole year all over." He thought. "And begin again from that day in the Crashdown. And stop Liz from getting shot. No, what am I thinking, Liz is my whole life. I can't take all that from her, whether I could or not."
Max got up, put a pair of shorts over his boxers, and walked toward the kitchen.
"Morning, Max, want some breakfast?" Mrs. Evans asked smiling. "Pancakes?"
"Sure, did we get any mail?"
"On the table." Max walked over and picked up the stack. "Bills, bills, bills, Izzy's stuff, junk, yours, yes!"
"What is it?"
Max tore open the envelope.
"Dear Mr. Evans," Max read. "We are please to inform you that you have been accepted to Rawley Academy for a special fall semester. Your great academics have also awarded you a full scholarship for the semester. Congratulations, we will be looking forward to seeing you in the fall. Sincerely, Dean Fleming."
"That's great honey." Max and his mother hugged. That's when Max noticed Isabel standing in the doorway.
"Did you hear, Izzy, Max was accepted, full scholarship, and everything!"
"Yeah, that's great Max."
Later at the Crashdown-The whole gang is assembled, except Liz and Nasedo.
Liz was staying with her aunt in Florida and wouldn't be back until next week. Nasedo was posing as Agent Pierce in Washington DC.
"You're not actually going to go?" Michael exclaimed.
"Why not?" Max asked.
"Cause we need you here." Tess answered.
"Nothing has happened all summer, so why would it happen now?" Max said.
"Maybe they, whoever they are, are waiting for something like this to happen." Michael said.
"It's only for four months. I'll be back by Christmas." Max replied.
"A lot can happen in four months." Alex said.
"Exactly!" Michael exclaimed.
At that moment Kyle walked in. "You guys will not believe what I just got."
When no body said anything, Kyle continued. "A scholarship to this rich school, Rawley Academy for the fall semester, for football."
"See Kyle gets to go." Max pointed out.
"Kyle's not an alien! Hi, sheriff." Michael said as the sheriff walked in following Kyle.
"What's going on?"
"Max got a scholarship to Rawley, too. But we say he should stay seeing as him being the leader and all." Maria explained.
"Mmmm," he turned to Max. "What do you want to do?"
"I want to go. If anything happens they can call me and I'll be on the first plane home."
"Well, that sounds valid enough."
"You could protect them, right?"
"Sure."
"Then it's settled, I'm going."
"Going where?" Came a familiar voice. Max turned around; standing in the doorway was Liz.
"What are you doing home?" Maria asked.
"I missed you too much, so I came home a week early." Maria and Liz hugged.
"So where are you going, Max?"
"I got a scholarship to attend a school, in Massachusetts for the fall semester."
"Oh, so you're going then?"
"Yeah, we...I just decided."
"Oh, well that's great. I gotta go say hi to my Mom." Liz picked up her bag and went upstairs; Max's eyes followed her.
"Max, think this over. You can't be serious." Tess said.
"Tess, you don't know me well enough, when I make up my mind that's it, nothing can convince me otherwise."
Tess sighed.
Two weeks later-In Max's bedroom, Max is packing, while Isabel sits and watches.
"I guess whatever I say won't convince you not to leave."
"Nope."
"So a whole semester rooming with Kyle, have fun."
"Actually, I got my info yesterday Kyle and I aren't rooming together. We do have two classes together though."
"So tomorrow's the day." Isabel sighed. Max stopped and looked at Isabel.
"Izzy, it's not the end of the world. Four months, that's it. You can call, e-mail, or write to me every night. You can live without your brother for a while."
"I'm just afraid of all the what-ifs."
"Don't be."
"I can't help it." Max hugged Isabel.
"It's okay. Why don't you skip the trip to the airport tomorrow?"
"No, I want to see you off. Plus everyone else is going, if I don't go it will look weird."
"Okay, well I'm done."
The next morning-at the airport
Kyle, Max, Sheriff Valenti, Maria, Alex, Michael, Tess, Isabel, and Mr. and Mrs. Evans are standing at the terminal saying good-bye.
"Are you sure you packed everything?" Mrs. Evans asked.
"If I didn't you can mail it to me." They hugged.
"Have fun, son. Don't let those rich snobs get to you." Mr. Evans said as they hugged. Max and Isabel hugged.
"Bye, buddy, be nice to your roommate." Maria and Max hugged, then she handed him a bottle of cedar oil. "For those stressful times." Max and the gang laughed.
"Max, you'll write, right?" Max and Michael hugged.
"Yeah, I'll write." Max answered.
Max hugged Tess. "Take care." He said. Tess just smiled.
"Take care of Isabel for me?" Max asked Alex.
"Of course." They went to shake hands, but ended up hugging.
Then Max got to Liz. "I hate to say good-bye, so how about see ya soon?"
Liz smiled and they too hugged. Max turned to Valenti, "Take care." He said.
Valenti smiled.
"Plane 45 to Carson is now boarding. Plane 45 to Carson is now boarding." Came an announcement.
Max and Kyle turned to leave.
"Max!" Liz cried out. He turned around. "See ya soon." Max smiled and hugged Liz. Then him and Kyle gave the attendant their ticket and boarded the plane.
Rawley Academy-Up in a tree sits a 16-year-old boy with a camera. He watches as the students arrive and takes their picture.
"Oh, great it's Ryder." He thinks to himself as he watches the bleached blonde Brit pull up in his red convertible. He watched as Ryder said hi to some kids and threatens others. When Ryder didn't think anyone was looking, the spy got a picture of him picking his nose. The spy snickered.
"Hi, Ham." Said a voice from below.
Hamilton looked down to see Scout Calhoun and Will Krudski staring up at him.
"Shh. I don't want anyone to see." Ham held up his camera.
"Oh." Will whispered.
"Will, did you get the letter from my dad? Or where are you going to stay here anyway?"
"What letter?"
"Go look in your room." Will and Scout took off running.
Hamilton heard the roar of a motorcycle. "Hurrah!" He thought.
The motorcycle pulled up directly under the tree. Hamilton couldn't see the rider from where he sat. He tried to move, but couldn't.
Suddenly he heard, "Hi boy."
"Hi boy." He replied as he turned his head to see Jake. "So are you here as
Jake or Jacquelyn?"
"Jake. I didn't get a letter otherwise."
Suddenly Hamilton saw his Mom run toward the tree. Jake and Hamilton jumped down. "Mom, what's wrong?"
"I forgot them. I can't believe I forgot them."
"Who?"
"Remember hearing your father talk about the two boys from New Mexico?"
"Yeah, Roswell right?"
"Yes, well I was supposed to pick them up from the Carson airport, but I've been so busy..." She trailed off.
"You want me to go get them?"
"Would you?"
"Sure."
"Thank you," she gave Hamilton the keys. "Hello, Jake."
"Hi, Mrs. Fleming." Jake replied.
"Come on, Jake." Hamilton and Jake took the bike and went to get the car.
Carson airport-Max and Kyle are standing at the terminal, with their bags, waiting for their ride to the school.
"So who are you rooming with?" Max asked Kyle.
"Some kid named Ryder. You?"
"Jake Pratt."
"Mmm, so I heard that there's a girl's school too."
"You're just trying to get my mind off of Liz, aren't you?"
"Yeah, her and Tess." Max and Kyle laughed.
Suddenly two boys ran toward them. They slid to a stop in front of Max and Kyle.
The taller one spoke. "Are you Kyle Valenti and Max Evans?"
"That's us." Kyle answered. "I'm Kyle."
"Hi, I'm Hamilton, this is Jake. The dean sent us to get you."
Ham and Jake led Kyle and Max out to the car. They put their bags in the car and took off. As they drove along, they got to know each other.
"So is your name Jake Pratt?"
"Yeah, why?"
"I think we're rooming together." Ham and Jake exchanged shocked looks.
"So, Kyle, who are you rooming with?" Hamilton asked.
"Some guy named Ryder."
"Ryder?!" Hamilton put his foot on the break; luckily they were on a back road. Ham and Jake turned around. "You're rooming with Ryder?!" Jake exclaimed.
"Yeah, why, what's wrong with he guy?"
"You'll find out." Hamilton said as they drove off.
Meanwhile-Will and Scout are unpacking.
"So you're officially back?" Scout asked.
"Yup, I took the letter to the dean and he said that I'm too much of an asset to let go."
"Cool! So let's go spread the news."
"Huh?"
"Let's go find Caroline and Paige!"
"Oh, okay." They left.
As Jake and Hamilton pull into town they saw the gas station. Ham looked at Jake, and they pulled over.
"Guys, we're going to take a pit stop." Ham said.
"Ham, the sign!" Jake said. "It's gone, do you think?"
"I hope not."
"Jake, Hamilton!" Yelled a familiar voice. It was Bella.
"Bella!" They yelled as they ran up and hugged her.
"Oh," Jake remembered Kyle and Max, who were standing off to the side.
"Bella, these are some new Rawley guys. Meet Kyle Valenti and Max Evans. Guys this is Bella Banks."
"Hi." Bella shook their hands.
"Hi." They replied.
"So what happened? Give us all the juicy details." Jake asked.
"Later when everyone's here. I don't want to tell the story six times. By the way, have you seen Scout yet?"
