********************************************
*Part 1*
The alarm clock rang and as I opened my eyes, I knew it was yet another day
at Roswell High. The same-o same-o...aliens aliens and more aliens.
"What will I wear today??" i ask myself.
In my head is always Micheal. Micheal Guerin. Why? He treats me like crap and
he doesn't even know I exist. If he did, it didn't show much. So who cares
what I wear, right? I mean, everyone who actually meant anything to me leaves
me...Micheal, Daddy, and Liz sometimes. Ever since Max came along, it's Max
Max and Max. I even feel that Alex, my guy buddy, is off in his own universe
...with Miss Isabel, of course.
"Bad day, Definitely!" i said to myself...
"Honey, are you talking to yourself? Or is there another hidden surprise in
here that I don't know about?" Mom said as she peered her head in through my
bedroom door. I really do think parents should just stop mind their own
business. gRR!
"No, Mom! I'm fine. It's just been a bad morning. I stayed at the Crashdown
real late last night and so...Not much sleep, if you know what i mean," I
said.
"Well, I'm sorry, Maria. Maybe we should go out tonight. A mother-daughter
thing tonight. Unless you plans with that Micheal boy.." My mom said, with a
sad look on her face.
"Mom, Micheal and I are not really like that. I have to work tonight, like
always. Maybe some other time Ok? You should definitely have a junk-food fest
and watch TV all night. DAMN, I have to get to school, Mom. "
"All right, dear."
I grabbed my gray book bag and jean jacket and walked out of the house into
my red jetta. When I got to school, it dawned on me that I should be a
happier person, a better person, and let boys on the side. Why should I let
Micheal get to my head? He's just a boy!
Liz pats me on the back...
"Hey Maria! Ready to go to class??" Liz said with her usual caring voice.
"Yeah.."
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing...Why?"
"You seem so run-down today. Is it Micheal?"
"NO! why does everyone seem to think that everything in my life revolves
around micheal? We both know that Micheal and I were not meant to be. "
"I don't know. Calm down, Maria. It's not even first period, yet. Where's
your cyprus oil, anyway?" Liz said soothingly with that look of 'what did you
eat this morning look'
"Ok...i'm fine. I'm Maria...the happy camper. Where's Max?" I said as we
walked to first period together.
"Oh..I haven't seen him."
"How is the whole Tess thing? I mean, I think she smells trouble."
"Yeah, me too. But what I am to say? Max and Tess are always meant to be,
right? I was just this girl he saved that day."
"Um...guess who needs cyprus oil? Liz, listen to yourself. You and Max are
the ones that are meant to be together. You two are the soul mates. The whole
meant-to-be crap is just stupid. Isabel and Micheal are meant to be together.
And they're like, friends....."
"What are you talking about? What are WE talking about? I don't know..."
"Liz..we're both going to spontaneously combust if we let Max or Micheal get
to us. Fate sucks, we both know that. If I even knew that fate would come
between us and the czechslovokians, I would have just not gotten involved
romantically with them."
"Right. But it's too late, Maria. I think I love Max. He's my heartthrob.
He's just something. I am not going to let that Tess girl get to me."
"You go, girl!"
"Yup.."
Just as she said that, Max comes along with Isabel, as if on cue.
"Hey.." he said.
"Hi..gotta go to first. See you later...Let's go Isabel.." I said to them as
I pulled Isabel with me.
I wanted Max and Liz to have their look into my eyes moment before Liz
explodes. Izzy is walking next to me in her 'i'm too cool for you attitude.'
But what do we expect from Queen Amidala? Heh, I guess. But I have always
found Isabel so profoundly beautiful, like all those damn aliens got to
choose their assets when they were hatched. Perfect assets, must I add.
My bubble of thought pops when Miss Tess walks up to us...
She looks up to Isabel -without even glancing at me-
"Hey Isabel."
"Hi Tess..." Isabel says in a solemn voice
"I've gotta jet...Bye.." I said as I leave them two. What were they gonna
talk about? their powers or their dreams of their alien lovers? about
Micheal? about me? I don't know.
As the last period bell rang, I walk out of the parking lot with Alex.
"Did you see Isabel today? She's so beautiful today, don't you think? Maria!
Maria. Are you listening to me..????"
His voice sucked me back into reality.
"Wuh wuh what?? Sorry Alex, It's just..."
"Micheal..right?"
"No..."
"Then fine, it has something to do with Isabel and Micheal right?"
"No....maybe...YES!"
"I knew it!! Well if it makes you feel any better, Miss De Luca, Isabel
asked me to be her sugar daddy.."
"Her what?"
"Well, not exactly a sugar daddy. She asked me to go on a date."
"A date? Or a friends thing?"
"No, A date date. She said she wanted a physical relationship because she
knows that she likes me. Plus she knows that if it had to be determined by
fate, then, she would end up with Micheal. Of course, that;s what she didn't
want."
"So...now I get Isabel's leftovers?"
"That's not what she meant. She doesn't want this dreams thing to ruin
anything between you and Guerin. You two are meant to be."
"Is that what you believe, Alex?"
"I sure do. I dunno. What do you believe?"
"I don't know. I gotta get to work. My shift starts in half an hour. Um..I'll
call you later?"
"I might not be home. I'll be with my woman.."
He smiles his 'Alex-smirk'. Leave it to Alex. He always never fails to cheer
me up. He leans in to give me a teddy-bear hug.
"Bye Alex. Thanks for the pep-talk"
"See ya.."
I got into my car and drove to the Crashdown and walked through the back-door
to get dressed into my uniform. I looked into the mirror as I placed the
antennas on ma head. Perfect!
I walk into the diner and see Micheal sitting in the booth all alone reading
the menu with a confused look on his face. Why does he do that? It makes him
so....Micheal!
"Hey Micheal. What can I get for you today? " I said when I walked casually
towards his booth.
"Took you guys long enough to take my order.." He said with that sarcastic
tone in his voice.
"Shut up. I just got here. What do you want?"
"Give me some fries and an alien blast."
"Ok...anything else?"
"Yeah..."
"what?"
"You, Maria."
I looked up from my order pad and looked into his eyes. Then for a split
second, I believed what Alex said about Micheal and I being meant for each
other. Fate has Issy and Micheal together but Micheal and I had the
soul-mates thing...don't we?
"What...?" I stuttered...nervously.
"Never mind..."
"Micheal..."
"Yeah?"
"You already have me..."
He smirked. Then our look into my eyes moment began again. Wow...
"Can we talk, Maria?"
"Yeah.." As I looked around at the other empty booths.. I sat down next to
him in the booth.
"I wanted to know if....."
"What?"
"If we can be more than sucking face partners in the eraser room. If we can
be more than we are now..." He said slowly...His eyes makes me want to melt
right there on the spot.
"You mean the Mr Micheal Guerin is ready for a commitment?"
"If you want to call it that"
"But...I don't know. What about you and Izzy? I might be in the way.."
"What about me & Isabel. Isabel and I are just friends. Siblings almost. I
can't see myself with anyone but you..."
"Oh..Micheal. Are you sure this is what you want? Are you just doing this
because you're freaked out with the dreams thing? I don't wanna be used
again."
"No...when have I ever used you?"
"All the time...Micheal. You used me to get to Marathon, you used me for your
teenage desires in the Eraser room, you used me to get visions..." I said as
tears ran down my cheeks.
"Sorry...I'm sorry. Maria...Don't cry...I thought if I came, we could be
together. maybe I was wrong. I'll leave.."
"Leave then. Like you always do. Like everyone else does.."
"What are you talking about?"
"forget it..."
"Maria....I won't leave anymore. Will you...Will you be my girlfriend?" As he
put his arms around me.
"Ok...Micheal..."
The day ended on a happy note. Micheal was ready for a relationship. Alex is
now Isabel's sugar daddy or whatever. But yet I still like Liz is still on
the edge of almost losing Max. That new girl, Tess, is trouble. The new
chicks are always trouble. If Tess even thinks about interfering with Liz and
Max, Then I have major butt-kicking to do.
I drove into the driveway and almost ran into a middle-aged man who was
sitting in the dark. All this adrenalin pumped through me as I sat in the car
praying that it wasn't some robber man with a gun trying to ruin my dad. He
just stood and walked over to my side of the car and knocked on the side
window. I looked closer to see....it
was................................DADDY!!!!
This can't be happening. This must be a dream. Why would he be back? Why?? I
started crying and screaming. This was all the pain that built up inside of
me when he left all those years ago. My mother ran out of the house and
shoved the man...
"What are you doing scaring Maria like that?"
"Sorry...I just couldn't wait to see her.." said the familiar voice.
"Let's just go into the house and talk." My mom said so calmly. How could she
be so calm at a time like this? How could she be so calm when this man left
her over 9 years ago. My mom looked through the car window and
said..."Maria...honey...let's get inside. "
I opened the door to my car and walked into the house without a glance at my
mom or my father. I could only focus on the trails of tears I left behind on
the cement all the way into the front door. All the memories of my childhood
came flooding back.
The three of us walked through and I heard a door close with a thud. I
instinctively walked towards the couch...sat down. i was waiting for an
explanation, a reason, and the truth.
