Max is hooking up with Liz?

Have you ever had a really happy moment that was then followed with an extremely upsetting one? I mean here I am totally and blissfully happy because Micheal Guerin looked at me in a way he hasn't looked at me since...well a really long time and now that feeling is simply a memory. Max and Liz (possibly) hooking up again brings reality crashing back. Michael dumped me, Liz dumped Max. The aliens stopped acknowledging our existence right after they received that stupid message and Liz disappeared without word to Florida. I love Michael but he hurt me...a lot. I like Max but the complications that could arise from a relationship between me and Max would be detrimental to our already fragmentented group.

Liz and I haven't spoken since she disappeared without a word. Yes she sent me a couple of postcards over the summer but they were all about how much fun she was having and how much she was over Max. I mean the girl couldn't even spare a line to ask me how I was doing or how things were going on here with what happened after the whole "destiny" thing. To say I am not happy with Liz Parker and hope she doesn't expect to come back and have things be the same would be the simple truth. Especially when I think about what Max went through after she left. That man can seriously brood. He barely ate or slept when he first realized that Liz had left. It took me, Kyle and Alex literally dragging him out and into the sunlight for his family to be rest assured that Max hadn't been turned into a vampire. It took a long time for Max to be able to go outside and then it took an even longer time for him to start enjoying himself. Now as you can see he's fine but for a while there I was really worried that after the torture and then the Liz thing that Max wasn't going to be able to be Max again.

Now he and Liz were in a small cramped room that was mainly used for making out an other naughty things...I had to find the guys.

Thankfully it was our lunch period and I knew that the guys would be stuffing their faces with the horrible food they force on us at this school. Sure enough at a table with enough food to feed an army were Alex and Kyle and they even saved me a seat.

"Hey guys. Did you even get me anything to eat?" I teased as consumed a hot dog in two bites. How that guy can eat so much and still stay thin and lanky is beyond me.

"Yea we did, here's an apple and some orange juice. We know you would'nt put this junk in your system", Alex said with a smile.

"Plus we saw that you brought your own lunch so we used what we would've spent on you on some more food for us", Kyle added.

"Dude. Why?"

Now it's time for The Alex and Kyle Show where Alex once again tries to explain to Kyle that when dealing with girls the whole truth is not always the best thing.

"What?"

"Did you really have to say that we didn't buy her food because she already had her own and then add that we used the money on ourselves? It makes us look greedy and a bit inconsiderate"

"But it's the truth, you even said that Maria keeps complaining about her weight so she'd kick our asses if we got her a plate of anything with more than one calorie. What it's true?"

Alex started to turn red and I knew i had to intervene before Alex forgot that Kyle is the captain of the football, basketball, soccer and lacrosse teams.

"Sooooo Michael wants me to meet him in his apartment, alone, later today and then I saw Max and Liz go into the Eraser Room. How was your day?"

The bickering stopped as both guys whipped their heads in my direction with twin expressions of surprise.

"Yea, I'm just minding my own business in my own world when I crash into Mr. Moody himself and he asked me what I was doing later, I of course said I wasn't busy. Then he asked me to come over. Then a couple seconds later and I see Max and Liz going into the Eraser Room". Ruining my happy mood, I silently add.

Alex puts his arms around me as he says, "Are you okay?"

"I can beat him up for you", Kyle good-naturally chimes in.

I smile at Kyle as Alex glares at him. My boys, what would I do without them. "No Kyle, no matter how much you ask I wont say yes. It's the thought that counts though, so thanks."

Kyle shrugs while muttering, " You'll say yes one of these days".

I start to laugh and soon our table is laughing which draws the attention of mostly everyone in the lunch room. I really don't care because I feel great and for right now it's not about Michael or Max. Liz or the Pod Squad. It's about me and my bestfriends having fun. All of our worries forgotten.

"Hey guys, what's so funny?"

That is until Liz decides to grab a chair and set her lunch down on the table to join us.

Suddenly the good mood is gone and in it's place is tension. Lots of it.
