Aliens Stole My Alien Parents
Decided to try this scenario with a twist or two. The Zeezoob family just immigrated to Earth, settling in a small house in Copperdale. As soon as they got the basics unpacked, Mara and Oliver's da...

Thanks @luciusstorm . Yeah, she's kind of an all-over-the-place teen, she really needs her parents still. She is doing her best.
Day 5
Exam day was here! Mara decided to wear her newly created Trendi outfit to school. She wanted to look good for school, of course, but she'd also found out you can sell outfits on Trendi. Maybe if people liked it enough, it would sell?

Here's hoping! Um, girl, you can't count your chickens before they're hatched, you only PROMOTED it not sold it

oh well... a bit of overconfidence is not unusual in a teen I suppose
Anyhow, a lot of weird things happened in Mara's day, but several good things too.
Spoiler
The day started out with a nice conversation with the janitor Mr. Lum. He's known Mara since the day she moved to Earth. He gets her. Mara was feeling very sad about her dads and their talk helped

"Mr. Lum?"
"Yes?"
"Are you the one who's been leaving those apples in my locker?"
"I won't say."
"But you're the only one with the keys."
"Then you've said it."
"Thanks."
"You're welcome. It seemed like you could use a little help."

In the first class, only Mara had to take the exam. The rest of the class just sat still at their desks. Then the principal came in and started yelling randomly at Noah, who's a goody-two-shoes if anything.

Lunch was awesome. Not only did Mara succeed in ordering and eating today, but all the food was free!

Oh, it's Night on the Town! School lunch is neither at night nor on the town, but we will accept a free lunch. Yes!

Kaori didn't appreciate having an alien sit down at her table and she gave Mara some flack

But Mara had Cassandra and Kiyoshi for backup. It felt good to have her people with her.

Mara was late to her second class on account of getting stuck in the wall.

Remembering to obey Earth physics isn't always easy.
Once again, only Mara had to take the exam. What's going on here?

Successful exams!
https://i.postimg.cc/Bvn0VsxJ/exam-report.png
And Oliver's grades are improving!

And when Mara got her phone back after the exam, Mara got a notification that her outfit had sold!
To Geoffrey Landgraab!
Wow, I wonder how he looks in it?
https://i.postimg.cc/TYvXXnr7/sold.png
She sold it for a nice little profit too. It felt very satisfying.

Mara and her friends celebrated the end of exams (well, for Mara anyway) at the pier.
https://i.postimg.cc/HWqTsqCt/10-pier1.png
Mara bragged about selling her outfit.
"You sold an outfit to a Landgraab? That's impressive," said Kiyoshi.
Rohan didn't say anything, but it looked like he didn't believe Mara's story.

"Guys, check this out," said Cassandra, looking at her Simstagram. "Brytani Cho was just seen in Mara's outfit. I think it's catching on."
https://i.postimg.cc/6pwwCCq2/12-outfit-cho.png
Mara wasn't sure which was more exhilarating, that post, or a ride on the Ferris wheel next to Rohan.
https://i.postimg.cc/8CXS83HM/13-pier4-ferris.png
Cassandra and Kiyoshi seemed to be into each other, but experiencing a powerful level of awkwardness.
https://i.postimg.cc/vTfFVmdt/14-awkward.png
Mara tried to help. Results inconclusive.

"Uh, people I don't know are here," said Rohan. "Is it raining? I think it's raining. I should leave."
Meanwhile, Oliver spent the evening in his favorite manner.
