Chapter One
Brrrring! The bell sounded, marking the end of the school day.
“Urgh, I’m so glad that’s over. English class has really started to be a drag nowadays.” Maria said rolling her eyes and walking with Liz towards the door, “I mean those essays we have to write- analysis of the different types of languages in the US; consequences of drugs; why today’s teens are walking backwards! What the hell does that even mean? Backwards? I’m walking very forwards by the way! I even have a plan for university. Almost.”
“It totally sucks.” Liz agreed, half-listening to Maria’s rant. “Where is Max?”
“I mean, at least we have stuff to do today! Yay tomorrow’s Halloween! I’m so excited! The whole dressing up thing is fu-unn! We have to go pick out our costumes today Liz. I mean any later and we’ll have to go in something we have at home. And let me tell you right now that I’m not going in that cat outfit, its ugly and pink. Not to mention it might’ve gotten a little small since the fourth grade...”
“Of course we’ll go get costumes today!” Liz said giggling. “We’ll buy hot outfits that will knock the guys’ socks’ off. But seriously, Max always comes to class!”
“Lizz..” Maria looked at her with a worried expression on her face, and a warning in her tone.
“It’s okay Maria, I’m not sinking back in to the whole Max thing. It’s over, I’m just worried.”
“Well.. okay, let’s get to your place then we’ll call them. Michael never shows up for class anyhow.”
“Oh wait, Isabel.” Liz said, running over to her, “Hey, where’s Max?”
Isabel turned around to face the two. It’s funny how a year ago she would have never thought about talking to them, and now they were part of her life. Quite a big part in fact. Being the only girls to know their secret, she was bond to them, and she didn’t even mind it that much anymore. “Oh hey Liz, Maria. I have no idea- I haven’t seen him since lunch, which, now I think about it, is pretty weird.”
“But everything’s okay right? I mean there’s no-” Liz was definitely concerned. Max skipping school? Max didn’t skip school anymore than Michael came to school. She knew that they weren’t together now, but she couldn’t help worrying about him. She still loved him after all.
“Other worldly crisis? No, no, everything’s fine. If it wasn’t he definitely would have called.”
“Going to the Halloween Bash tomorrow, Iz?”
“I’m not sure Maria. I mean, I love parties generally, but Halloween? Spirits? Little vampires asking for candy? It’s all a bit lame. Anyways I’ll see you guys later, since Max isn’t here I’ll have to catch a ride home. Later guys!”
“What is it with these aliens and Halloween?” Maria threw her hand up in the air, “I mean I don’t get it. We believe in them, how can they not believe in spirits and stuff?”
“I dunno Maria, it is all a bit, illogical you know.”
“Et tu, Liz?” Maria gasped and clutched her heart, dramatically pretending to have been stabbed.
“No, no, I’m a believer I swear! Don’t harm me!” Liz exclaimed, shrinking away from Maria, and briskly walking to the door. Turning back she was greeted with a mock glare.
“Very funny Lizzy.”

The girls got to the Parker’s house, and Maria sat herself on the bed as Liz went to take a quick shower. Hmm.. bunny? Too slutty. Werewolf? Too poofy.. Vampire? Too Buffy. Maria thought, laying on the bed and going through some magazines. I wonder if I can get Michael to dress up as anything. Mm, maybe a military man.. just then her mobile started ringing, interrupting her very interesting train of thoughts.
“Hello?”
“Maria.”
“Michael! I’m so glad you called, I was thinking about Halloween tomorrow, and I was trying to think of a costume, I was planning to go with enchanted princess or something, you know with the glitter and the purple, or maybe the corpse bride, that would be awe-“
“Maria.”
“And I thought, maybe you wouldn’t mind dressing up either.. It might be fun!”
“Maria! Hell no, okay.” He just had to stop her there. She could not be thinking what he knew she was thinking. No way would he ever dress up in anything ridiculous for some lame almost-public holiday invented so that people could have an excuse to dress up as other things and party. Well, unless she really, really wanted him too.. then he would be officially stuck. “First of all, I would never wear any stupid-ass costume.”
“Not even-”
“No not even the military costume.”
“James Bond?”
“James Bond!” Michael repeated incredulously, “You know, if you think about it, I’m already in a costume. I mean this human body is basically a costume for me.” he smirked; he could almost hear her glaring over the phone, “But anyways, that’s not the point. We have more serious things to think about right now. There’s been another sighting.”
“Ohmygod! Where?”
“It’s a little further than marathon. Me, Max and Iz are planning to go check it out tomorrow.”
“What? But when will you be back? And what about Tess?”
Michael hesitated, should he tell her? He had to tell her, she and Liz would just have to go to the party alone. “Don’t know about Tess, and well it’ll probably take all day..”
“Well fine, we’re coming with.”
“What? Maria, what about school?”
“Ha,” she said snorting, “I can’t believe you just said that to me. But, either way, its Halloween, half the students don’t show up to school tomorrow so no one will suspect a thing. My mother’s out selling supplies, and we can fool Liz’s parents any day! Come on, I mean, I don’t want to spend Halloween without you, and no matter what Liz says, she’s lost when she’s not around Max. We can even bring Alex, he’ll keep Isabel company.”
“Well..” Michael smiled inwardly; it really would be more fun with her. Without her and Liz he would have to sit through Isabel’s whining about missing school and Max’s silent brooding about Liz and/or Tess. And the fact that it was silent brooding, didn’t make it any less annoying. “Sure babe. It’s a road trip. You guys come over to my apartment later and we’ll make up a plan.”
“Woohoo! Yay! I’ll tell Liz and get ready! Bye baby!” She said, almost jumping up in excitement.
A moment later Liz entered the room-
“Maria-” she said, coming over and sitting on the bed, her face all joyous. “We’re going on a road trip!”
“What? Hey I was just going to say that to you!” Maria grinned, it was amazing how no matter how different they were- one being serious and headstrong, the other being wacky and independent- sometimes their minds were on exactly the same frequency! But after years of friendship, gossip and emotional stress, it wasn’t surprising. “You talked to Max didn’t you?”
“Michael?” Liz said feeling as excited as Maria looked.
“Yup.”
Clapping, Liz chucked Maria her mobile, “Get Alex on the phone.. Oh, this is going to be fun.”
