First of all, I would like to give a big shout out and thanks to all readers and especially reviewers. It makes me all fuzzy inside to know that you guys are reading and liking it. In saying that, I would like to dedicate this chapter to you, the reader. And now on to the next chapter…

Chapter 3:
Since the meeting the previous day, nothing had happened. Alex had shown Max and Liz, the spot where the girl had been, but sadly in the spot where she had stood, the only remarkable thing had been the way the indents in the concrete had been shaped. Max and Liz had agreed that something had formed the dots, but weren't entirely convinced that they were of Czechoslovakian nature.
School that day had been uneventful, and surprisingly, Alex was grateful. The only thing that seemed different was that Isabel was behaving more friendly towards him, something that she hadn't been in the entire time he'd known her. Not that Isabel cruel to him, but she had always been closed off and reserved, which made him want to understand her more than anything.
He walked up to his locker and began to undo his lock. Right as he pulled the lock off and opened his locker, Maria rushed up to him with that firey abundance of energy only Maria could have.
"So, have this mystery girl showed up again?" Maria asked, unable to hide the curiosity in her voice.
"No. I haven't seen any sign of this girl's existence since that night," Alex said as he put his books into his locker.
"Well, maybe she's just waiting for the right moment to come see you," she suggested, while picking at her nails.
"Maria, I really doubt that there is ever going to be a right moment for her to come find me," Alex said as he took the books he needed for his next class out.
"Then, maybe, she'll show up when you least expect it,"
"Yeah, that's if she comes back,"
"Oh, I have a feeling she might. Seriously, why come only once for no reason?"
"Good point. Bye Maria," said Alex, closing his locker.
"Bye, Alex," said Maria as she walked off in the opposite direction.
'Maybe Maria's right. Maybe this semi-existent girl will show up when I least expect it,' he thought as he walked down the hall.
Alex had just turned the corner when he spotted a girl he had never seen before. She had long, straight, dark brown hair; similar to Liz's and skin that suggested a Native American ancestry. What made him noticed her inparticular, was that he knew that even though her appearance had changed, it was the same girl. Her eyes were the same. One green and one brown, just as they had been that night.
The girl saw him and smiled her slight, enigmatic smile. She turned and continued down the hall, as if she was signaling for him to follow. Alex followed her and had almost reached her, when she turned the corner. Just as she was about to turn, she stopped and her eyes met his. He was entranced. He watched as she put her hand on the wall and then disappeared.
Alex looked around, but no one seemed to have noticed the girl's disappearance. He made his way through the dispersing crowd towards that wall that she had last touched. When he reached the wall, he noticed that she had left something for him to find.
It was just like what she had left in her place that night, except this time the glowing droplets formed the constellation Signus.
'That girl, she knows me. Who ever she is, she somehow knows me. I wonder why she keeps leaving me constellations. Do they mean some sort of message?' thought Alex, making a mental note of the constellation as he reached out his hand to touch it and it disappeared under his fingertips. 'Well, I guess this can only mean another meeting with the Podsters.'
With that, Alex left the wall and made his way to his next class, a little confused, but extremely grateful for the long passing periods.
I'm sorry if this a little long or confusing, but I will update soon. Someone asked in their review if the was a dreamer fic and I am slightly embarrassed at my ignorance, but I do not know what that is, but if I did, I would certainly answer your question. Please keep reviewing and thank you!
