"What?" Michael chokes out. He couldn't figure out how Maria could possibly
have a sister. Maria didn't have a sister. What if she was FBI pretending
to be Maria's sister to get to them? All these thoughts kept rushing
through his mind.
"You heard me."
"How can you have a sister?"
"She's my dads daughter not like it's any of your business." Maria snaps glaring daggers at him.
"So you just found out about her?" Michael asks scratching his brow.
"Yeah. Whatever" She started. "Could you just leave me alone now" she wasn't feeling up to his crap, especially not today.
"No I can't leave you alone, we need to talk!" He insisted.
"About what?"
"About how much you actually know about her."
"God Michael could you be anymore self absorbed?" She questions disgustedly.
"What?" Michael asks confused.
"I just found out my DAD had a whole other family and he's dead alright and here you are being so fucking shallow." Maria shouts at him.
"I'm sorry." Michael whispers pulling her to him.
"Don't be just leave me alone." Maria says pushing herself away from him. with one last glance back at him she rushes back into the café area.
"Need anything?" Maria asks me and I look up at her she looks upset. But oh well is that my problem NO.
"No I don't need anything." 'Other then a certain dark haired boys number.'
"Okay." She says turning away just as I notice a tall brown haired guy enter the Crash down. Okay so he's not my type, but he does have possibilities AND he goes to sit next to Michael and Max.
Hmm now this makes me wonder what a guy like him is doing being seen with a guy like Max. I sigh as I sit there watching him, I really hope he doesn't notice me watching, although it is me so I am positive he wouldn't mind. But it feels weird, I feel somehow drawn to him, like he's this magical fruit and you just know his juices would be sweeter then that of anything else you'd ever taste. But you also know it's almost impossible to taste. Then again if anyone could get a taste of Max. it'd be me. "Hello." I hear the brown haired guy, he seemed to have appeared out of no where. Damn people in this town sure talk a lot! I mean what are they friendly or something?
"Umm hi." I say skeptically, I mean what the hell does he want? He is blocking my view of Max and that is like so wrong.
"I'm Alex. Alex Whitman." He introduces himself with a smile, taking a seat in my booth. Hello did I say you could sit down? No I don't recall asking him to.
I roll my eyes and give him a stern look "I'm Ruby."
"It's nice to meet you Ruby." Alex says politely making me want to gag, come on seriously just go get a life and leave me alone you are so taking away valuable time that I could spend staring at Max.
"Same here."
"So you're Maria's sister?"
"For fucks sake!" I start angrily "Is Maria like the Queen of this little town? Because she seems to be the only topic you towns folks want to speak about. Who cares if I'm her sister or not? Its not a big deal, so you should just get over it already." I finish feeling a lot better.
"Sorry, this is a small town and well news travels fast." Alex explains with a grin, looking at him I notice that he is in fact kind of cute, okay not in the way that I normally go for but hey cute is cute.
"It's alright." I say shrugging. "I'm just sick of all the questions you know?"
"Yeah I know." He agrees with a nod of his head.
"Well if that's the case you should quite asking me questions." I snap and his grin widens.
"Then what will we talk about?"
I shrug and he turns to look at Max's table before turning back to look at him a weird expression on his face "Would you want to go sit with us?"
"Umm, with who?" I ask giving him an innocent look, I can't very well let him in on the fact that I know exactly whom he's talking about. I am not going to show Alex that I had been staring at their table the entire time that would be so lame.
"Max and Michael." he tells me.
"Who are they?" I ask and Alex gives me a weird look before pointing.
"Oh um sure." I say getting up. Did you really think I'd pass up the chance to sit by Max? How stupid do I look? Ok don't answer that.
"Hey Ruby." Max says as we approach a smile on his face and I swear my knees have gone to mush. Okay so I've never been one to get all mushy but damn he's so hot it takes my breath away.
"Hi Max." I say feeling my cheeks turn red.
I don't blush, I am Ruby Deluca I do not I repeat do NOT blush so what the hell is wrong with me? Why am I acting like an awkward teenager who gets all flustered when a guy looks at her? I mean just because I am a teenager that doesn't mean I've ever acted like one before. But why should I act like that? I have great hair, it's really bouncy and silky plus it shines in the light. And I have great skin, a great body and I know I'm hot so what's there to be all shy and scared about?
"Max!" I hear someone say, whipping my head around I notice a tall blond walking towards the table. She could definitely be competition, I know I'm hot and all but she could be trouble.
"Isabel." He mimics and I want to smack her as she walks over like she owns my Max.
"Move over." She tells him and he obediently slides over. "Here's your keys."
Okay so he lets her borrow his car big deal. err he has a car that's a big plus.
"Thanks." Max says and I look at Alex who is practically drooling over this chick. please can we say bimbo?
Hmm maybe I could use little Alex for my advantage and maybe for his own.
"Hey Alex." I say cutting off the conversation between bimbo and Max. "About the movie tomorrow, can you pick me up at 4 instead of 5? Because I want to spend some extra time together before it begins." I finish and they all give me a weird look.
"You guys have a date?" the blond snaps.
"Yeah and you care why?" I toss back my eyes challenging her to care.
"I don't."
"Then why'd you ask." I
"I just did." She snaps tossing her hair over her shoulder.
"Whatever." I mutter glaring at her.
She turns and looks at me before asking in a really rude voice "And you are?"
"What do you care?" I bite back in my bitchiest tone.
"Cause I wanna know."
"It's none of your business."
"Well I'm making it my business." She says with a roll of her eyes.
"Whatever If you must know, I'm Ruby." I tell her before turning to Alex.
"I'm Isabel." She says rolling her eyes.
"Oh." I say, like I care what that blond bimbo's name is I could call her Barbie doll for all I care.
"So where are you from Ruby?" Michael asks changing the subject and I smirk.
"I'm from everywhere." I reply it's the truth isn't it?
"Everywhere?" Max asks raising his eyebrow. I can't say this movement doesn't affect me.
"Yup. I've been everywhere and anywhere you can think of."
"Well then where were you born?"
"Italy." I reply without a second thought.
"Italy?" the blond girl mimics.
"Yeah Italy."
"So you traveled a lot?" Michael asks curiously. A little too curiously.
"Well I spent a lot of time in England."
"England?"
"Yeah do you have to like repeat everything I say?" I snap.
She rolls her eyes and I continue "I've spent loads of time in England, in Ireland, in Italy and here in the USA as well. I've been several other places but you know I can't be bother to name all of them."
"So what was you're favorite place you've been?" Max asks. I don't get these people they are like way nosey.
"England."
"England." That blond says again and I want to smack her.
"Got a problem?"
"No." She replies flatly. I know she's got a problem its called ME.
"Whatever." I say.
"Well you know what? I gotta get going hun but I really can't wait." I say winking as he lets me up out of the booth and I walk over to Maria.
"Well it's been fun." I say looking at Alex "But I gotta get going."
"Oh okay." I hear Alex say before I turn and leave the table to find Maria.
"Aye I'm gonna go back to Amy's I have to get ready for my date tomorrow."
"Date?"
"Yup." I say before heading outside for a nice long walk back to her house.
"You heard me."
"How can you have a sister?"
"She's my dads daughter not like it's any of your business." Maria snaps glaring daggers at him.
"So you just found out about her?" Michael asks scratching his brow.
