INFANTILES Y JUVENILES

You’d think being abducted by aliens would be the worst thing that could happen to me. And you’d be wrong. Because now the aliens are having ship trouble, and they’ve left their cargo of human women—including me—on an ice planet. We’re not equipped for life in this desolate winter wasteland. Since I’m the unofficial leader, I head out into the snow to look for help. I find help all right. A big blue horned alien introduces himself in a rather . . . startling way. Vektal says that I'm his mate, his chosen female—and that the reason his chest is purring is because of my presence. He’ll help me and my people survive, but this poses a new problem. If Vektal helps us survive, I’m not sure he’s going to want to let me go.

Georgie creía que ser abducida por extraterrestres era lo peor que podría pasarle. Pero las cosas siempre pueden empeorar. Cuando la nave en la que viaja sufre un accidente, sus compañeras y ella son abandonadas en un planeta helado. En su camino se cruzará Vektal, un alien de color azul, alto y musculoso. Aunque apenas pueden comunicarse, enseguida se darán cuenta de que las chispas que surgen entre ellos son verdaderamente de otro mundo.

Joé, a las tías no hay quien las entienda. Desde luego, no hay quien entienda qué quieren los chicos. Y a la que ha venido de intercambio la pillo todavía menos. Si me hago lío con los listenings, la voy a entender a ella, macho. No poder ir al Baile de Primavera con Cameron me parecía la peor de las tragedias, pero ¿esto? Pasar un mes en este apartamento diminuto, con esta familia absurda y teniendo que ir a clase con el estúpido que me ha tocado de compañero... ¡Esto sí que es un drama! Ahli, dice que se llama Ahli. Eso sí que lo he pillado. Bueno, le voy a preguntar al Jose, a ver si él sabe qué puedo hacer con ella para que no se me muera de aburrimiento. Que si la palma, me suspenden y, si me suspenden, ¡ME QUITAN LA MOTO! Aunque, en realidad, que Juanjo sea tan tonto me viene bien. Me río con sus tonterías y, cuando me río, se me olvida que Cameron no me hace ni caso y que todos los planes de futuro que teníamos (la casa de dos plantas, la parejita de hijos rubios y el cachorrito de golden retriever) se han ido al traste. Bueno, igual la que tenía los planes de futuro era solo yo, pero... Espera un momento, ¿qué es esto? ¿Un casco de acompañante? ¡JUANJOOO! ¡Ya puedes tener cuidado, que como esmoñes a la muchacha con la moto te la cargas!
