Chapter One
" You can't leave Liz, I can't last a whole year without you!"
" Don't be a baby, Max, I'll be back for Christmas. I'll just be in a different school, Max, Mum and Dad think it'll be good for me to have the experience."
" But Britain is miles and miles away, Lizzie, please say you'll stay!" pleaded Max.
" Max, I'm going. We need a break anyhow. I need a break. From this whole Tess and your son business."
" I thought Zan was important to you too!"
" Max, he will always be your son, but he will never be mine. I need space and I'm going to have space."
" Does this mean we're over?"
" Did I say that?" she asked.
" Well, no, but-"
" But nothing, Max, let me be. You'll be fine. I'll see you at Christmas." She kissed him on the cheek and walked briskly into the departure lounge.

" We are now approaching London Stansted. Will you please fasten your seatbelts for a safe landing, we will be arriving in just under ten minutes."
Liz fastened her seatbelt as she felt her heart leap a second time as the plane dropped altitude. She grabbed a sucky sweet and popped it into her mouth. Sucking out the juice and swallowing hard, Liz felt the blood rising in her ears. Finally, she felt the bump as the plane skidded across the landing strip and grinded to a halt.
" Please remain in your seats until the light is switched off above you. Once this has happened, please remove your luggage from the overhead lockers and take your time in exiting the plane. I hope you had an enjoyable flight here with British Airways. The airhostesses will help you with any troubles at the exits. Thankyou." Said the flight attendant over the speakerphone.
Once Liz had collected all of her luggage from the wheel, she walked to the arrivals exit where her mothers' sister, Julie Granger, her husband George and daughter Hermione were supposed to meet her. She heard a lot about Hermione from her mother the day before she left for England.
Hermione was in the same year as Liz was to be in, 6th year, and was very brainy. In fact, she was the top of her year, as Liz was in Roswell. Hermione attended Hogwarts' School in the English borders. Liz was to join her there.
From the photo that her mother had given her, Liz could see a great likeness between the two sisters. Hermione looked like a pleasant girl, but not in the least bit strange like her friends' back in Roswell.
Liz was looking forward to her year abroad immensely, especially if she was in the same living quarters and her friends. She didn't want to be alone.
