You know its tough being a high school alien these days. Our parents, the apes (no kidding, that’s what they are) told us about how they had to combat killer ants before making it to school, and teachers that ate them if they got an answer wrong. Some of us didn’t believe that, until Mr. Malevolent (he’s a slug) ate one of my classmates when he talked back to him in class. Getting yourself digested and thrown back up is not a pleasant experience, as the guy could tell you. He was covered in snot. (He came back through the slug's nose... ewww)1
Alien high school isn’t much better on planet Utherra. Teachers are still mean, homework can and will bite you if you don’t do it soon enough, and the parents still enforce the dreaded curfew. Now, our story tells you of the lives of a high school aliens and to make this even weirder. Now this is a secret, so don’t tell anyone. My best friends and I aren’t from here!2
You heard right. Bason (my best friend), Mariah (my girl best friend) and yours truly, Max, were put here on this planet when we were really little. We honestly don’t know why, but we were taken in by our current parents. Believe me, being raised by apes with human intelligence is interesting, especially when you have the day of feasting, or as my friends and I like to call it Thanksgiving. Having everyone over with their accents, because they are from different regions, is like trying to decipher what the growls, hisses, and snarls all mean. I felt so stupid, misunderstanding them, because one of my step-relatives would hiss, snarl, spit and point at me and I would look at him and say, “Did you diss me?” You see my problem.3
We also found out that when we were growing up, we each had a unique power, but they worked unexpectedly. Bason found out that he had super speed, however he didn’t have the brakes for them, so every time we enter the high school campus, we have to peel him off the wall because he couldn’t stop. His body has made a permanent dent in the wall. Principal Woodgrove, who is an earth golem(don’t ask) saw that and liked it immediately. Again, the weirdness of this planet confuses me to no end. Back at Earth, he would be in detention or worse.4
Mariah’s powers are a kind of personal hell for her. When she was first brought here, she was struck by lightning, and due to the weirdness of this planet, she survived, but she’s always charged with electricity. How much she generates depends on her emotions. I feel sorry for potential suitors, especially if she likes them back, because that’s disaster in the making. She gets nervous around them and watch out if he touches her. (The last guy got thrown 50 feet and was hospitalized for a month. Then again, he was made of metal, poor guy.)5
My powers are truly the most destructive of the three of us. I control fire and become a fire elemental when I experience any strong emotions. Let’s see…. Teenager, homesick, and anger problems, yep that would be me. Thankfully, nothing that I did has directly been linked to me, but everyone was wondering why exactly the roof of the gym has holes in it when I was cheated out of victory in basketball by a talking rat. That still has everyone talking. 6
Plus, I can’t look at sunlight without sunglasses, otherwise my eyes glow yellow and I burst into flames. The first time that I discovered that annoying trait was when I was in a hallway with my friends and a silver of sunlight flashed into my eyes from one of the passing classmates’ watches. If it wasn’t for Bason’s super speed, I would have made the high school a crater and everything would have gone up in smoke around me. Thankfully, he ran towards the nearest body of water and threw me in. 7
The lives of us high school aliens are different from day to day, but we know that whatever happens, we stick together. We just hope that civilization doesn’t fall around us.....8

INTERESTING
Wow, this is very creative. I simply enjoyed reading it.
Any errors that I saw were already pointed out. Great job.
Is this a first chapter of a book?
Well, keep writing.

Very interesting and humorous. I don't think I have ever read such a story like this. Good job and the details are good.
-
LoL this is funny and entertaining! I can't believe I hadn't read this yet
You might should consider expanding this... maybe adding some other installments- it really is a refreshing, original tale.
Great work
-
Funny!
Great idea you have here! I don't know if you're looking to continue this, but you definitely should! It sounds as if you have a great imagination, and a good hold on how to make people laugh. Your story had me smiling a couple of times, which doesn't happen often. Great job making the story believable--the language, tone, and mood were perfect for what you were talking about.
Howeverrr, there are a few things you should look at..
"You know its (it's) tough being a high school alien these days.1"
"He came back through the slug's nose... ewww(.)1"
"Now, our story tells you of the lives of a high school aliens and to make this even weirder.2" (Hmm, I don't quite know what you're trying to say here, maybe get rid of the "and"?)
"who is an earth golem(don’t ask) saw that" (Space between golem and the paranthesis.)
"We just hope that civilization doesn’t fall around us(...)8"
(Bason speeds by and then crash(s) into a barn and it collapses(.))10"
Overall, great write, and I'm looking forward to more!

HA ha they had to combat ants on their way to school
-
Very impressive write. I liked it alot very nicely done. has a wonderful flow. hope you write more reguarding this.
-
How was the unfortunate back-answerer covered in snot if he was eaten? Shouldn't it be saliva instead?
"a earth golem" needs 'an".
Did Mariah fall for The Tin Man from Oz?
"*looks around as if jinxed*9" Irked me, as it doesn't fit the story.
Well-worded, very intriguing. You should make a series, no kidding
"...the lives of a high school aliens..." confusing plural/singular nouns.

This is really cool! I enjoyed it.
-
lol, that's awesome!!! I uber like all the aliens XD The dissing part was funny too. I like how you gave the three main characters the bacfiring powers
-
Good imagination
Your story is very creative. I liked your description of each character and their powers. I think the story would be even better by showing instead of just telling about the characters.
-
Amazing
Man, this is how we all feel sometimes. It's so awesomely weird!beginning: 5, language: 5, plot: 5, ending: 5, dialog: 5, characters: 5.

Okay, first off, MY NAME IS MARIAH! This wouldn't be such a big deal if my name were more common, but I have only met like, 2 Mariah's before. This is awesome!
And your story rocked. It was funny, slightly realistic (in the sense that it could be, not is), and was fantastically written. Great job!
-
Very interesting and imagenative! It was very entertaining and an easy read which makes it even more enjoyable. I think some more lengthy discreption of your characters would be a good improvement, and make it into an unspoken question, self answering, D

You did a great job, made em alugh with its strangeness, and while you were out of your elelment, you took what you were given and worked with it well.
