Roswell Fanatics

“Why don't you take your own advice sis.” Amy suggests and I stare blankly at her. "Or are you worried about a certain son of a sheriff who will be going to the party tonight? Don't you just hate the twin thing"

“Oh please, I think your twin radar might be a little whacked” I scoff at the very idea that would be scared or worried about anything. Okay, maybe I am a little worried about what is going to happen tonight but I’m not going to admit that to anyone, not even my sister. “I am not worried about anything, in fact I’ve already decided that tonight I am going to make a move on James so there.”

As I say the words, they become true. That’s what I had to do. I had to make a move on James before some bimbo beat me to it. I mean seriously, what girl in her right mind wouldn’t want James Valenti? You show me her and I show you a liar! But that really doesn’t matter. James should be with me. There’s always been this tension between us, a certain chemistry that is undeniable.

Of course, I’ve never acted on it before for reasons that seem unimportant now. And if he tells me that he doesn’t feel the same way, well I’ll cross that bridge when I get to it and get madly drunk. Yeah. its a plan. Tonight there would be very little said between me and James, if I got my own way which I always do.

“Oh please, I think your twin radar might be a little whacked. I am not worried about anything, in fact I’ve already decided that tonight I am going to make a move on James so there.”

I just raise an eyebrow. "Whatever you say sis....just don't expect me to believe it, ok?" I say smiling. "I have no doubt once you've set your mind to it that you will, but I still think deep down your nervous and I mean who wouldn't be. Hell Im nervous and we're not even going out....although...." I look around...I can't believe Im considering telling my sister about the kiss....I can't tell her that. Nope, not my sister.

"Forget it" I say. "Anyways, you want to order anything?" I ask.

"I have no doubt once you've set your mind to it that you will, but I still think deep down your nervous and I mean who wouldn't be. Hell I’m nervous and we're not even going out....although...." Amy pauses. “Forget it. Anyways, you want to order anything?”

“No tell me,” I say, ignoring the last part of her sentence. What is with people leaving me hanging today? I hate it when people start something and never finish. Its annoying and unfair and cruel. “What were you going to say? Come on, I told you about my plans for James and you’re the only one I’ve told.”

And how am I going to tell Marie that I like her brother as more then a friend? What is that going to do to our friendship? Is it going to weird? Is she going to freak out completely and kick a soccer ball at my head?

~~~~~AMY~~~~~
“No tell me,” she says. I look at her unconvinced.

“What were you going to say? Come on, I told you about my plans for James and you’re the only one I’ve told.”

I sigh...I guess I am the only one shes told...I really should I guess...

"Well....Oliver was arranging what time he was going to pick me up at...and....well" I say quietly and shyly. I lean in close to her.
"...he kissed my cheek" I whispered, knowing that Im flushing like a beetroot right now.

I return to my stance and start to clean the counter. "I mean, I know he doesn't like me or anything....but thats good right?" I ask biting my lip.

"Well....Oliver was arranging what time he was going to pick me up at...and....well" Amy lowers her voice to barely a whisper and looks at me shyly. Leaning towards me, I can tell by the tone of her voice that she is about to hit the peck of the story. “...he kissed my cheek. I mean, I know he doesn't like me or anything....but that’s good right?”

I try and keep a straight face. Sweet, naïve Amy. To her that kiss on the cheek must be the biggest thing to happen in Roswell since the Crashdown. Chewing over her words, I look at her thoughtfully, knowing that it must have taken her a lot to tell me. And the more I think about it, the more I think that Oliver does like Amy a whole lot more then she thinks.

“I think its more then good,” I say honestly. “I think that he likes you and isn’t sure how you feel so he doesn’t want to pressure you or rush you into anything. I mean, how could he not like you? You’re gorgeous!”

~~~~~AMY~~~~~
"I think its more then good,”

I look up at her words....is she serious?

“I think that he likes you and isn’t sure how you feel so he doesn’t want to pressure you or rush you into anything."

I scoff. "Yeah right! A cool boy liking a geek like me? Suurrrreeee" I tell her.

"I mean, how could he not like you? You’re gorgeous!”

Huh? "What? Are you kidding me?" I say. "Come on Lily, we both know that one, thats not true. Two, since when have you given me a compliment like that? And three, he could not like me by...oh yeah! Picking one of the billion girls that are actually in his league." I tell her. "If you were going to take the mick of me I shouldn't have bothered telling you" I say a bit hurt that she couldn't even be honest with me, even if what she said was what I really wanted to hear.

“Come on Lily, we both know that one, that’s not true. Two, since when have you given me a compliment like that? And three, he could not like me by...oh yeah! Picking one of the billion girls that are actually in his league. If you were going to take the mick of me I shouldn't have bothered telling you.”

I open my mouth in mocking shock horror. How could she think that that wasn’t true? Hello, she looks just like me and I know for a fact that I’m a hottie. Ugh, sometimes she is impossible. I don’t even know why I bothered to help her.

“Okay, you can put your pacifier back in your mouth or stop acting like a baby. Which ever suits you best. And are you blind? We are identical and I know for a fact that I’m above a ten, which must mean that you are as well! And, yeah you are a geek but that might just be Oliver’s type. Also this whole league thing is a bunch of bull and you’re just using it because you’re scared and that’s cool. Whatever floats your boat, sister. Just don’t accuse me of lying.”

I finish my rant with a glare. “I’m going to sit with Marie now.”

Crap. I didn't mean for her to get pissed, but I sure what meant what I said too. Ergh, sisters...no wait...twins...double ergh!

I sigh. "I don't mean your lying to be spiteful, I mean your stretching thr truth. There is no way a guy like him could EVER like me! It's just not even a possibility Lily. I wish it was but its not. I don't mean your lying in a bad way, infact far from it. I just mean, that well...I'd prefer you just say it as it...that I will always be the geek from the Crashdown who gets straight A's and will never have a life." I say finishing knowing its true.

“I’m going to sit with Marie now.”

"Fine" I say quietly. "I should be getting back to work anyway. Maybe I should just tell Oliver Im not going, then I'd really be confirming my drudgery of a life" I say as I walk up the to the other end of the counter to serve a customer.

"Hi, welcome to the Crashdown, can I take your order?" I say in a monotonous tone.

LILY

Ugh, my sister is utterly hopeless and I’m tempted to shake some much needed sense into her but if she wants to have herself a pity party instead of coming to a real party, well that’s fine by me.

Stretching the truth. Ha! When have I ever stretched the truth about anything? Especially about something that involves those important to me? Seriously, its about time that Amy woke up and smelt the coffee. Just because she is a geek, doesn’t mean that she is ugly. Maybe I should get Christina to talk to her, she might be able to understand her better then I do. Hmm, or maybe I should have a word with Oliver. Knock some sense into him instead. It would probably be easier.

“What’s up, geek?” I ask Marie as I slump into the booth she is sat in. I send another annoyed glance towards Amy, feeling more annoyed now then what I had before I entered the Crashdown. I need to get rid of some of this energy. Maybe I’ll have time to go for a run before I have to start getting ready for the party.

“Nothing much. What were you talking to my brother about?” She asks, playing with a straw. “Or were you too busy admiring his new tattoo? You know, my dad is going to completely freak when he finds out about James‘s tattoos.”

I shrug, there’s not much I can say. I like James’s tattoos, they add to his sex appeal and make him that more appealing to me. “I like his tattoos.”

“You would.” Marie scoffs.

I narrow my eyes at her, “What’s that suppose to mean?”

“Nothing, nothing.” Marie sighs. “I’m sorry. I’m just not looking forward to the day when my dad finds out about James’s tattoos. It already feels like we are living in world war 3 and I just know that those damn tattoos are going to be the finally straw.” She sighs again and shakes her head. “Let’s not talk about my family, let’s talk about yours. What’s going between you and Amy? It looked pretty heated towards the end.”

“It was nothing. Just Amy being a idiot. She’s stressing about this party tonight and this guy she likes.” I say. I don’t mention Oliver’s name even though Marie is one of my closest friends, I don’t want to betray my sister’s trust.

“Oliver.” Marie states more then questions.

“She told you?” I ask, feeling slightly wounded that Amy would tell Marie, who is like a stranger to her before me, her own sister. It stung a little that we weren’t as close as we were when we were younger. I don’t know when we started to drift apart, it just happened and now it seems too late to bridge the gap.

“Yeah, I didn’t know that she felt that way about him.”

“Hmm, well its her problem.” I state with another sigh. “I’m starved, did you order all already?” I ask, Marie nods. “I think I’ll wait for Christina before I order. I’m not ready to deal with Amy yet.”

-Christina-

I practically skipped into the Crashdown, excited about tonight. "Hey girls!" I said, walking over and sliding into the booth beside Marie. I opened the menu, even though I knew it by heart, and scanned the list blindly. I already knew what I wanted; fries, tabasco sauce, and a piece of chocolate cake. Besides, I was too busy deciding what to wear tonight.

I decided I didn't want to wear the skirt I just got because, if I wanted to do anything about Erik, I couldn't look like a skank. I didn't want him, or Sabrina to think less of me because of what I was wearing. I decided on my new jeans and the shirt I'd shown Lily and Marie. It would look pretty hot together, I thought to myself, grinning.

Snapping out of my reverie, I looked up and smiled at the girls. "So, did you order yet?" My stomach had started growling, and I realized I needed to eat something before tonight.

I could practically eat a horse, I was so hungry. The good thing I got from parents was the ability to eat whatever the hell I wanted to and barely gain a pound. I didn't do sports, but I ran occasionally, to 'maintain' my figure. I got my voice from my mom though, and even though I didn't like singing, it sounded nice.

Tyler was more into sports, and he played on whatever team he had the time for. You name it, he played it. Soccer, Baseball, Football, Swimming, Lacrosse... He could play more than one at a time, and had practice nearly every day.

Not me. I was more into writing. I liked writing poetry, short stories, and I would draw little pictures to go along with them. I usually hung out at the Crashdown after school, and waited until later to go home.
