It was Maria's first day at school and already she hated it here. The kids were all right, right away Maria, Max and Isabel were accepted into the "in" crowd, her new house was beautiful and her parents got her a new car. But thing just didn't seem right. Speaking of new car who the hell was that! Maria walked closer to see the hot guy from her Global Studies class was laying his things onto her car.
"Excuse me! What the hell do you think that you're doing? That's my new fucking car!" Maria said putting her hands on her hips. The boy looked at her in the eye and smirked, oh god he is so hot! Maria thought to herself, but shrugged it off.
"Well, sorry you don't have to bite my damn head off." He said still smirking at her.
"Well take your things off." Maria said moving in closer. Wow! He is really hot. Maria thought.
"Okay princess. Chill out." He said to her taking his things off.
"I'm not a princess." Maria protested getting angrier.
"Sure, whatever you say. . .princess." He said walking away to a small brunette, he put his arm around her and they walked off. Maria turned around and got into her car, she sat there for a minute wondering why he got to her so easily. She hated it when people called her princess, she wasn't. So her parents made a lot of money that wasn't her fault. Once again Maria shrugged off the thoughts and sped out of the parking lot.
When Maria got home an empty house welcomed her once again. How could they have to be somewhere already? Maria thought. She walked up to her new room and threw herself onto her bed; she wanted to be back in Chicago with Max and Isabel. She loved it there, her cousins where all there, her friends, everything. Her thoughts were interrupted when her doorbell rang, Maria got up and walked to her window and looked out. In her driveway she saw Max and Isabel's car, Maria smiled and ran down the stairs to let her friends in.
"Hey Ria." Max said walking in first, he gave Maria a kiss on her cheek. Isabel followed looping her arm through Maria's.
"Guess what?" Isabel said excited.
"What?" Maria asked taking out three sodas from her refrigerator.
"I was talking to this girl in my English class and she said that the cheerleading squad needs two more cheerleaders. I told her that we used to cheer in Chicago and she wants to see us today! You wanna go?" Isabel asked taking a seat on the couch.
"Okay." Maria said getting excited for the first time in two weeks.
"It's in a hour and I have my clothes in the car. So why don't we get dressed and go in your backyard and practice." Isabel said jumping up from the couch and went to her car. Maria got up also and started for the stairs, she turned back to Max when she heard the T.V go on. Max was lying on the couch eating popcorn a sandwich, and drinking a soda acting like it was his own house. Maria just chuckled thinking about how much the three of them were family to each other. Their parents were never around, a lot of the time when they were alone like Maria the three of them would stay together.
For the next hour Maria and Isabel practiced outside, while Max laid on Maria's couch watching T.V. When it was time for Maria and Isabel to be at the school Max went with them for moral support and he wanted to check out the football team. Maria and Isabel met all the girls and soon realized that they were really snobby and bitches, but wanting to be accepted the girls didn't do or say anything. Max came back after a while to find that they girls had made it onto the team with no trouble. And the girls found out that Max was going to talk to the coach the next day about joining the football team because it was still early into the year. Walking back to Max's car Maria spotted the same guy that she yelled at before she left the school earlier.
"Max there's that guy who was putting his shit on my car earlier." Maria said to Max who was walking beside her. Max turned to see who Maria was talking about, sure enough a guy with wild spiky hair, a tight gray shirt and blue jeans was lounging against another car with another guy and a girl. Isabel started right away over to them to give them a piece of her mind.
"Excuse me?" Isabel said nicely, the three teens looked up at her. Maria and Max noticed that Isabel was smiling sweetly at them, that was bad news.
"Yeah?" The tall, lanky guy with short brown hair.
"Hi, we're new to this school and was wondering what your names are. I'm Isabel Evans, this is my brother Max Evans and our best friend Maria Deluca." Isabel said introducing each of them. This time the small brunette with soft brown eyes talked.
"I'm Liz Parker, this is Alex Whitman and Michael Guiren." She said first motioning to herself then the boy who had talked earlier than finally Michael, the one who had his 'shit' on Maria's car.
"Well, it's nice to meet you." Isabel said sweetly, at that point Max grabbed Maria's arm and they both backed up at bit from Isabel. The other three teens looked at them in confusion, seconds later the sweet smile on Isabel's face with replaced by an icy glared that could freeze a lake.
"Michael is it? Well, my friend informed me that you put your shit on her car. Her brand new car, the one that she only got a week ago. Now do you do that all the time? Ya know ruining something that isn't yours. Cause if you do than you should tell us now so we can be prepared. Listen you go near her car, my car or Max's than be prepared, okay? Good. It's nice to meet you, goodbye." Isabel's icy glare was once again replaced by a smile with the last sentence, the three teens then turned around and got into Max's car and left. Liz and Alex looked at Michael with wide eyes, he just shrugged.
~~~~~~
Michael got back to his trailer that night and laid down in his lumpy bed with a sigh. He didn't mean to piss the two girls off so bad, what was with them and their cars? It didn't matter that Maria girl had been on his mind ever since he saw her in Global Studies class that morning. She was beautiful, he couldn't really say what made her beautiful it was just. . .everything. But he could never be with her, she was rich and he was trailer trash. Those two things didn't mix, ever.
~~~~~~
Michael walked into school with Liz and Alex, right away he started to look for the small pixie with the new car. He spotted her talking to the other two kids Max and Isabel, she was looking really nice today. She was wearing white tennis shoes, hip huggers and a tight tank top that showed her belly button, when she turned and looked at Michael he looked away and followed his best friends down another hall. When he thought that he would be okay he realized that she was in his first class and she sat right in front of him. He sat down in a desk and a minute later she sat in the one in front of him, what was she trying to do to him?! The teacher talked to them for about ten minutes then she told them to turn around and work with the person behind you. Oh god! She's going to be my partner! Michael thought as she turned to him. What surprised him the most was when she smiled at him, wow her smile was beautiful too.
"Okay so we're suppose to work on this project together huh?" Maria said looking over the directions, Michael composted himself and grunted.
"I'll take that as a yes." Maria said not looking up at him.
"Okay so we aren't going to be able to finish this in class so we will probably need to get together later." Maria said finally looking up at him. Michael just shrugged.
"When can you? Cause I want to get this over with soon." Maria asked looking back down at the paper.
"Whenever." Michael replied, not trusting his voice a whole lot.
"Okay, how about after school tomorrow? You can meet me somewhere and we can go to my house. My parents are never home, they won't mind." Maria said writing down things on the paper in front of her.
"Fine." Michael said, Maria looked up at him and glared.
"Ya know what, you could be a little nicer. I'm sorry about what Isabel said yesterday, when she gets that looked in her eye you don't want to get in her way. So could you try to be a little more civil? I am." Maria said anger flashing in her eyes. Michael's eyes widened a little, the bell rang signaling that class was over.
"Sure. . .princess whatever you say. I'll meet you by your car tomorrow." Michael said walking out of the class room. He loved getting pissed, she was cute when she was mad. Now what was he going to do tomorrow when he was with her, alone. Ohgod he was going to have to learn self control.
~~~~~~~
Maria got up from her desk and walked out of the classroom. School was finally over for the day, and now she was practicing with the other cheerleaders. Without seeing them Maria bumped into Max and Michael's friend Liz.
"Hey Ria, what's up?" Max asked smiling at his best friend.
"Nothin' so you going to talk to the coach now?" Maria asked smiling back at him.'
"Yeah, so Liz I'll pick you up here later today and we can start. Okay?" Max said to the small girl standing next to him.
"Sure Max. See ya." Liz said walking away smiling a bit. Maria looked to see Max watching the quiet girl walk away.
"Somebody has a crush." Maria said in a sing song voice. Max turned his attention back to Maria and glared at her, but smiled seconds later.
"Shut up Ria. Walk me will you?" Max asked offering his arm, Maria giggled and took it as they walked off to find Isabel.
~~~~~~~
Max walked up to Maria and Isabel who were laughing at something.
"Hey girls what's so funny?" Max asked sitting next to them on the bench.
"So Max what are you doing with Liz later today?" Isabel teased. Max blushed and looked away, he like Liz. She was interested in the same things as him and she was so beautiful and sweet.
"Nothing we just have a project in Science." Max said defending himself. Both girls laughed again.
"Do you remember that tall guy Alex from yesterday?" Isabel asked when the laughing stopped. When Maria and Max nodded she continued.
"Well today our English teacher told us we had to work together on a project. I told him to come over tomorrow to work on it, you should have seen the look on his face! He looked like I was going to kill him or something." Isabel said again laughing with the other two.
"He's scared of me from yesterday!" Isabel said laughing harder.
"Get this I have to work on a Global Studies project with that guy who you yelled at yesterday Michael." Maria said with anger in her eyes. Max and Isabel looked at each other and started to laugh at her.
"It's not funny! I tried to be nice but he was just being a jackass." Maria said crossing her arms over her chest. Her friends stopped laughing at gave her a small smile.
"Listen as much fun as I'm having I have to go pick up Liz so we can work on our project." Max said getting up.
"Wait! Max how did your talk with the coach go?" Isabel asked her brother.
"Good, I'm on the team. I started practice tomorrow." Max said smiling. The two girls jumped up and attacked him with hugs.
"Okay, okay I'll see you two later!" Max said kissing, their foreheads as he headed off. Behind him he could hear them making jokes.
"Max has a crush! Max has a crush!" Maria was singing. "I better not find you two making out anywhere!" Isabel said. They two girls laughed harder with each remark. The two of them together was something else. Max walked to the front of the school to find Liz there waiting for him.
"Hey Liz. Sorry if I'm late." Max said
"That's okay, your not." Liz replied smiling
"Well, my cars this way." Max said motioning to the parking lot. Liz gave him another smile as she followed him. Max looked down at the girl walking with him and he hoped that things were going to work out.
"Excuse me! What the hell do you think that you're doing? That's my new fucking car!" Maria said putting her hands on her hips. The boy looked at her in the eye and smirked, oh god he is so hot! Maria thought to herself, but shrugged it off.
"Well, sorry you don't have to bite my damn head off." He said still smirking at her.
"Well take your things off." Maria said moving in closer. Wow! He is really hot. Maria thought.
"Okay princess. Chill out." He said to her taking his things off.
"I'm not a princess." Maria protested getting angrier.
"Sure, whatever you say. . .princess." He said walking away to a small brunette, he put his arm around her and they walked off.
