CHAPTER 2

"There better be some hot chicks here, that's all I'm saying. Because so far I'm unimpressed."

In the hallway of another apartment building not too far away from the girls, two men walked along looking for there apartment. The first, with dark hair, was listening to yet another lecture on the wonderfulness of girls from his friend with spiky brown hair.

"At least 30 of the girls over there were hot to trot. So far I have seen no evidence of a beautiful body such as mine existing in this waste land of crumpets, English tea and torrential rain."

The dark haired boy turned to the speaker. "God Michael could you be anymore hypocritical? I mean you just got here. And besides, it's not as if we've seen many girls since we're in the MENS building."

Michael gave him a disgusted look. "So it's ok that we're over here on you're…"

"MICHAEL! Not here!"

"Yes King Max" Michael muttered sourly.

Max found the apartment that was there's and swung the door open. All the apartments at Royal London University were the same, so the room was set out identically to the girls (with the exception that none of the objects were lowered and all the rooms were the same size).

Max had little more at a glance at the room before Michael barged past him and plonked his suitcase and other assorted belongings on the table. He then turned to Max. Max quickly shut the door, knowing that any second Michael was going to…

"So fearless leader what now? We're here. We came. Now, explain to me exactly how were going to…"

"Hullo?"

Max and Michael turned around to see a guy appear out of the fourth room.

"Hi" Max quickly said, giving Michael a quick warning look.

"Hey man, I'm Jesse"

"Michael." He said pointing at himself. "Max" he said pointing to him. "Nice to meet you, excuse me."

Michael picked up his bags went into the nearest bedroom and slammed the door.

"Sorry about him. Teenage hormones" Max joked to Jesse.

"I heard that!" Michael shouted through the door.

Jess sniggered.

"So where are you from?" Max asked.

"London born and bread" Jesse smiled. "Yourself?"

"Roswell."

Jesse gave him a quizzical look.

"New Mexico…the US of A."

"Ahh! Cool!" Jesse said. "So what are you studying?"

"Chemistry. And you?" Max asked.

"Law. Destined to be a great hot shot lawyer." Jesse replied smirking.

"Cool. My sister who's also here believes that too."

"Well then I can't wait to do a debate with her and prove her wrong!" Jesse said.

Max laughed "Well she'll certainly give you a run for your money."

"Hmm. What about Michael?"

"Ah he's doing sport science. Michael won't get in your way, as long as you let him get to the three things he loves. One" he said ticking them off on his fingers "Women. Two, watching sports on sky whilst drinking Snapple. Three, women."

"Well then he seems on the right track there! I agree definitely with them! Although I'm more of a one woman kind of guy."

"Well, I expect Michael will be too, once he's found "the one"." I said making finger gestures.

Jesse laughed.

The door opened again to reveal a guy carrying a guitar case.

"Well hello there lovely people."

He walked in, put his suitcase and beloved guitar down and shut the door. He then walked over to Max, his arm out stretched.

"Alex Whitman".

Max shook his hand, smiling.

"Max Evans"

"I'm Jesse Ramirez" he said shaking Alex hand.

"Cool, well kind people please point me in the direction of my room so I can carefully put my beautiful guitar away!" Alex said sincerely.

"You can pick that one, or that one." Max said pointing. "In there is the boy called Michael. I wouldn't go in there unless you want your head bitten off!" Max said laughing

"Duly noted" Alex said going into one of the vacant rooms.

"I guess you're doing music then Alex?" Jesse asked.

"Of course!" Alex shouted back brightly.

At that moment "American Idiot" by Greenday was played into the room, accompanied by some vibrating noises.

Max quickly went into his pockets and brought out his mobile.

"Hey" "Hey Max! What's your room like?"

"It's great Iz, and yours?" the girl practically shouted

"Perfect. I have these two great roommates and I was wondering if they could join us tonight?" Isabel said hopefully, still not lowering her voice to a normal decibel.

Max was surprised by this. Normally it took Isabel a while to make new friends.

Alex meanwhile had walked over to the kitchen and had got himself some water.

"Anyone want any water?" he asked.

"Is that Alex!" Isabel demanded down the phone, shocked.

"Err, yeah how do you know him?" Max asked confused. Max looked over to Alex and shook his head.

"He's friends with my room mates! He came by earlier! Max you have to bring him top!"

"Ill have some please Alex." Jesse said.

"Is that your fourth roommate? You should bring him too! Because then we'd have four guys and four girls!" Isabel said excitedly.

"Yeah ok I will. Say seven at the university bar?"

"Yup! Bye Max!" Isabel said happily before hanging up.

Max turned to the Alex.

"So you know my sister?" Max asked.

"Your sister?" Alex repeated confused.

"Yeah, Isabel?"

Alex suddenly beamed. It was like watching the sun come out.

"Isabel! Oh wow! Cool! She's your sister?"

"Yeah. Me, Michael, Isabel and Tess are meeting up later, and now apparently so are Liz and Maria. So Isabel said to invite you both." Max looked at Jesse.

"Sound's cool." Jesse replied.

"I'm in!" Alex said.

"Great, we're at the university bar at 7" Max said. Then he raised his voice. "Did you hear that Michael? 7!"

The door to Michael's room flew open.

"What now?"

"We're all going to the university bar for 7 ok?"

"Fine" Michael said curtly.

"This is Alex." Max said waving towards Alex.

"Hi." Michael said. He then walked over to the couch, slumped down on it, put his feet on the table and turned the football on.

Michael took one look at the screen and then stood up. He then turned around and looked at his housemates. "Okay what the hell is this? Where's the football?"

Max looked at Michael nervously. "Err, Michael this is English football."

"Where's the tackling? Where are the people being brutally injured? Where's the good stuff!" Michael said raising his voice.

Alex cut in.

"Well, in English football, tackling and injuring people is illegal."

"WHAT!"

Jesse sighed and sat down with Michael and explained the rules of the game to a disgruntled Michael. Alex decided to go and tinkle on his guitar. Max meanwhile went and unpacked and run through his mind how he was going to get Tess off his back for long enough to find what he was looking for.

GIRLS APARTMENT

"You won't believe who is sharing with Max and Michael?" Isabel said turning off her phone.

"Who?" Maria asked.

"Alex!" Isabel replied beaming.

"Wow! What a coincidence!" Liz remarked.

"So we're all going to the University bar for 7. There also bringing there roommate Jesse so its 4 guys and 4 girls."

Tess stalked out of her room. Obviously she had been listening to the whole conversation. "Well as long as everyone's clear that Max is all mine!" Tess growled at the two girls.

"Yes Tess they get it. You like Max. But for the reality check. He dumped you." Isabel said with a slight edge to her voice.

"Well he'll change his mind. He HAS to. Its destiny." She said staring at Isabel.

"Well maybe he's going after a different destiny" Isabel said glaring back.

"Ok you know what I'm tired. So I'm going to go to have a nap. Please don't kill each other!" Liz said as she wheeled her self to her room.

"We'll try" Isabel called after her.

Liz shut her bedroom door. About 5 seconds later Maria came in.

"Hey chica. Isabel's nice isn't she?" She said holding out her hand.

"I can manage…" Liz said. But she saw the look Maria gave her. "Yeah she is." She said taking her hand.

Maria helped her onto the bed. "Don't think much of Tess!" Maria whispered to Liz.

"I'm sure she's a nice person really." Liz answered.

"Hmmmmmm" was all Maria managed to reply, thinking Liz was too nice for her own good. Maria kissed her forehead. "I'll wake you up in an hour. Night chica."

"Night" Liz said as Maria let herself out of the room.

Liz shut her eyes.

"I hate braces!"

"Don't sweat Maria, it makes you look cute!"

BRIGHT LIGHTS

"LIZZZZZZ! NOOOOOO!"

Liz jerked awake. It was just a dream. Liz panted, scared of the horrible replay of the accident. God, she hated that dream. She always had it. It was a constant reminder of how she was different. In more ways than one.

Liz took some deep breaths. Slowly she used her hands to move her fragile body off the bed. She managed to get into the wheelchair. She then wheeled herself to her wardrobe where she got out a black skirt and a blue top. She loved this top. Maria always said it looked great on her. She slowly went out of the room to see Maria and Isabel catching up. Maria had changed into a peasant blouse and brown skirt and Isabel was wearing a blue slip dress.

"Hey."

"Chica! What are you doing up I could have…"

Liz glared at her.

"Ok I know, you can do it. I'm just looking out for you chica."

"I know." Liz said as she wheeled herself over to them.

"So Liz what are you studying?" Isabel asked.

"Chemistry". Liz replied.

"Really? Wow. My brother Max is doing that. You two would get on so well together."

"Yeah well I think it's best that I avoid him, I don't want Tess on my back about him. She clearly doesn't like me as it is."

Isabel grimaced. "Its not that she doesn't like you…..she just…..I don't know. She has a chip on her shoulder that girl. None of us really like her. She insisted on following us over here."

"Hm. So Isabel what are you studying?" Liz asked.

"Law. I'm going to be a great lawyer some day." Then Isabel laughed. "Want to know what Tess is doing? She's taking French! She says it's "Sexy and will attract Max!" Yeah right! He's totally not interested in her. What about you Maria? What are you taking?"

"Music with my buddy Alex. I love to sing and I play guitar and flute."

"Cool!" Isabel replied brightly. "Well we should get going. Liz you look beautiful in that top."

"Thanks. You look stunning in that dress Issy. And Maria you know how much I love that skirt!" Liz said grinning.

Isabel called out "TESS! We've gotta go! Are you coming or not?"

Tess door opened to reveal her in a black dress with slits. It had an extremely low neck line and she was wearing heavy make up.

"See. Ill get Max!" Tess said smirking. "Right let's go! My man awaits me!"

Tess walked out the door. Isabel turned to Liz and Maria and rolled her eyes. Maria stifled a giggle. The girls followed Tess out the door and locked the door behind them.
