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...

Day 9 - Firsts
On Monday, Cassandra wasn't at school. But some new kids were. Mara met Darling and Sofia, and they were friendly enough. Darling even had a mischievous streak to match Gemma's. They weren't Mara's OG squad, but they were pretty cool.

"Hey, Principal Prescott! That's a cool game! Have you gotten to level 16 yet?"

"What... what game? This is important school district business, young lady! And didn't I just hear the bell ring moments ago?"
https://i.postimg.cc/mgQFhc3w/03-principal-lunch2.png
"Why, you did hear the bell ring moments ago! What does that mean for me?"
"I'm not even in the mood to give out a detention slip. Go to class," said the principal, getting right back to her game.
Mara felt a little disappointed that after so much mischief she has yet to get in trouble and be sent to detention... (Really. I'm stuck on that part of the aspiration)

"Wanna hear a secret about the principal? Guess what she does on her lunch break!"
https://i.postimg.cc/wxZtV502/06-secret-about-principal1.png
"You didn't even get detention?"
"No! She was too wrapped up in her game to bother! I waltzed into class late and posted some pictures on the way to my desk!"
"Wow. I don't know whether to be impressed or scared. I would never be that brave in front of the principal ever."

Their conversation turned into a date. Mara's first.
Where do you go on a date with a loner?
A bench with no one else around isn't bad

A sofa, while your little brother is otherwise distracted, isn't bad either

Mara asked about Rohan's romantic interests. She was delighted to discover he thinks he likes girls, and is still exploring.
https://i.postimg.cc/W45zJ0dM/rohan-interests.png
He was so shy but open-minded. He'd never minded her unusual qualities, in fact, he seemed to enjoy them. And that awkward expression when he told her he likes girls... one eye closed and one eye open, as if he had been about to look into her eyes and then gotten scared.
Mara suddenly realized she had a major crush on Rohan.
It was time to say goodnight.
https://i.postimg.cc/mrjzN051/10-goodnight.png
Mara nervously detained him at the door
https://i.postimg.cc/rs0DTzF5/11-goodnight2.png
There were no angels bursting forth from the sky with singing and trumpets, as she'd half imagined in her romantic dreams. No great bursts of light. No one swooned. Not that she was completely sure what swooning entailed, exactly.
His mouth was warm, softer than she'd imagined, with the beginnings of stubble scratchy on his chin. She could hear him breathing and feel the gently rush of his breath against her face. His sweatshirt smelled of autumn air, distant wood smoke, and a little like sweat. Like this town. Like himself. It felt comforting.
They stepped apart, and smiled at each other, feeling a little short of words, but content anyway.

As Rohan was leaving, Oliver bounced in, with Toru the librarian in tow.

"You and the librarian are hanging out now?"
"Guess what! I'm getting A's in school!"

"Oliver, that doesn't surprise anyone. I mean, nice job. Dads will be proud when they get back."
While Oliver spontaneously did the dishes, Toru gave Mara a bit of a talking-to.

It seems word of Mara's exploits is starting to get around.

Well, hey. If I'm a bad girl, I might as well be a bad girl with style, thought Mara.
(And maybe a bad girl with a cute boyfriend? She tried to remember what you were supposed to do to become girlfriend and boyfriend. Were there rules anywhere?)
As Mara got into bed, she thought of ideas for Winterfest tomorrow. Maybe she could replace these cots, for one. Wow, an opportunity for presents was coming and her first thought was of more comfortable furniture. Oh no! Was she getting old and boring? Being the head of household certainly can change a person.
