Liam just listened to Sammi, more angered at her but then again she was right, he was just a freak, turning invisible, he sighed and heard Maggie. Calming himself down was hard, but his body started being visible again, he just sighed. "She is right... I am just a freak.." Liam just said, he seemed defeated and kept looking at Maggie, he scratched his hair. "Huh.. you still here... you don't think I'm a freak?" Liam just said, looking at her calmly, curious as to why she didn't run away with Sammi.

Maggie gave a half-hearted laugh. "Trust me, you are not the freakiest thing I have seen by a long shot. Everyone in life is different. That doesn't make any one person any less freakier than another." She picked up a broken twig that had fallen from the tree and began tracing designs in the dirt at their feet. "So...this fight with Marcus" she began. "I think we should have a strategy."

"A strategy.. but huh... wait, we aren't playing a video game.. nor in the army... what kind of strategy can I even use against him?" Liam just said, looking at her, he seemed calm now, but curious as to why a strategy, Marcus was Marcus, this fight would be hard, even if he had a strategy.

"Listen Liam" she explained patiently, dropping the stick and dusting off her hands. "I know how to fight and a strategy always helps. Let's see...he won't be expecting me so I say you show up by yourself. Let him get in a punch or two, unless you don't want to. Then you should start playing hard to get. You weigh less so it should be easy for you to be quick on your feet and dart around him. Any questions, so far?"

"Yes...hum... so basically.. I just need to toy with him.. run and make him tired... or should I.. even hit him at times.." He said, a bit confused since he never fought anyone before. He just sighed though he soon remembered something, that girl saw him, he just looked at her. "What about Sammi.. she knows I can turn invisible, next thing you know.. they will dissect me to study in science and such.." Liam said, more worried about that now, if only he could control his power.

"I may be wrong about this but I don't think Sammi will tell anyone." Maggie began pacing. "Ok, well...if you want to hit him, you can try but don't let him put you in a headlock or anything. Then you're stuck. And as for your...er...ability...you just need to be confident in yourself and you wont dissappear. I promise."

"Ok.. well thanks for being there for me.." Liam just said, as he kept looking at her, he was grateful to at least, have someone he could count on. Liam just hoped that this plan of hers would work, letting Marcus punch him two times could be risky but he would maintain, he just had to remember those times he wrestled with his brother and he should be fine.

Maggie stopped pacing and offered Liam a small smile. "Don't worry about it. Really, it's fine. So after you run around like a maniac, getting him really tired, let him catch up to you and grab you. I know it will seem like he's about to kill you out of anger, but you're going to have to trust me to show up at that point. Do you trust me?"

Liam listened and gulped a bit, it did sound like suicide to him but he nodded calmly and kept looking at her. "You are the only one I trust... plus probably my only friend, unless you don't want to be my friend which I can understand.. but yeah I trust you." Liam just said, nodding again, he was ready with this plan.

Maggie felt bad for the poor guy. He clearly had no other friends. Maggie herself was not really the most popular girl but she had a few good friends and she didn't need any more, nor care that she wasn't always surrounded by people. Liam, on the other hand, seemed really depressed and she knew that it would cheer him up immensely to have friends. "Of course I'll be your friend" she replied immediately. "And don't worry about a thing. After this fight, Marcus will be scared of you. He'll be your slave. And you'll have more friends than you will know what to do with" she assured him.

"I don't want him to be some kind of slave Maggie.. I just want him to stop." Liam just said, looking at her calmly, he was still happy that she was by his side, and he had a smile on his face. It was the first time that he felt happy like that, well he also felt happy when Sammi said his name and not dork. He just looked at Maggie again. "I guess it's time to face him now right?"

Maggie couldn't help but smile. "It was just a figment of speech, Liam. I doubt he would really be your slave." She pulled the elastic from her hair and slid it around one wrist. "Well, you've still got an hour left of the school day. You can either go back to class and make up a reason for being late or you can go hang out in the parking lot until the last bell. Up to you." She ran a hand through her copper-brown tangles of hair.

"Huh.. I'll stay out, not feeling like going back inside school.. with the tomatoes and such.. plus his hockey gang might pick on me." Liam said, it was better staying outside then actually going inside. He just looked at Maggie calmly. "Why are you.. different.. not that it's bad or anything.. but first time I meet someone different like you.

"Let's just say that I know what it's like to be odd." It was all she said on the subject, but she felt like it was enough to explain. After another few moments of comfortable silence, she piped up with, "So I'll see you after school. Just stick to the plan and you'll be fine." She nodded once and turned to head back for the school.
