Chapter 6: smells like teen spirit

If anyone ever asked Malia, Michael or Max about when or what caused Isobel's blackouts to first begin the they would always chose that night in the middle of nowhere where they had decided to camp for the night when they were fourteen as part of their tradition to spend the anniversary of the day that they had first arrived on earth, although they liked to call it their birthday since they weren't actually sure when their birthdays were. Back then things were a little different for them all especially Michael and Malia who were were always being bouncing from foster home to foster home for some reason or another, during that time Michael was in a group home while Malia was with a less than desirable foster father however they always made sure that no matter where they were that they could always celebrate that one day hence why the four of them were cramped into a tent. Malia wore a pair of ripped skinny jeans, a pair of worn white sneakers, a pale pink hoodie and a denim jacket. At fourteen her hair was just past shoulder length hair and still a mass of waves that she tamed by braiding half of it before letting it go in bunches, she had yet to discover makeup

"Kate Long's having a boy-girl party tonight, everyone is there" Isobel said as they sat in their tent talking and eating junk food as Malia was currently dipping Oreos into peanut butter

" so? You do everything because everyone is doing it? Lame..." Malia said knowing that she would rather be in this tent with the three of them than going to some boy girl party at Kate's

" and anyway it's Michael's year to pick the birthday plans, Iz." Max said remembering how excited Michael was by the prospect of leaving his group home and camping for a while

" It's not even our real birthday, it's just the random day we were found wandering around in the desert" Isobel said thinking about how she was always giving human things up like this

" it's kinda hard to celebrate your actually birthday when you don't know when it is on the account of being an alien, Iz" Malia said feeling the need to the point out the obvious to her

" whatever, I got to pee" Isobel said knowing that Malia wasn't like her friends at school who were more like her as she got out of the tent to head outside leaving the three of them alone

" She's been extra annoying lately" Max said since he always felt like it was job to play the big brother act and apologise for her behaviour since sometimes she could be unkind to others

" seems like an understatement...So I can move stuff, Isobel can mess around in people's thoughts, Malia can freeze and blow things up with her hands. Figure out your thing yet?" Michale said thinking about how they had all started to have powers manifest suddenly

" Other than causing a power outage every time I have a dirty dream?" Max said thinking about the last few times that it had happened as him and Michael laughed while Malia scrunched her nose up
