"So uh. . .where's Michael?" Liz asked looking around for him. All the teens were sitting around waiting for Michael to come back from showing Isabel around town.
Alex had just called from Europe to say hi to everyone and they were all just settling down to eat some pizza. Right then Michael and Isabel walked into the garage, Isabel was laughing and Michael had a grin on his face. Liz and Tess looked over at Maria, they knew how uncomfortable she got when other girls flirted with Michael. Maria was positive that she wasn't the beautiful girl she was, and she wondered all the time why Michael was with her and not some other girl who looked like a model. . .like Isabel.
"So do you like Roswell?" Liz asked Isabel, Isabel gave Liz a sly smile and shrugged her shoulders.
"I guess." Was all she said, then she took the seat right next to Michael.
"What did you show her?" Max asked his brother.
"Stuff." Michael said taking a slice of pizza.
"Do you want some?" Michael asked Isabel, she shook her head.
"Hey, you don't even know who we are huh?" Maria realized, Isabel again shook her head.
""I'm Maria Valenti, this is Kyle Valenti my brother, this is Liz Parker, Tess Harding, and Michael's brother Max Evans. Our other best friend Alex Whitman is in Europe with his family right now, but he'll be back soon. " Maria said trying to make conversation, Isabel just gave them a fake smile. Everyone was quiet for a minute until Isabel stood up.
"I'm going to go home. . .Michael would you walk me?" Isabel asked giving Michael her 100 watt smile, Maria winced when Michael nodded his head and stood up.
"See ya guys tomorrow." Michael said as they walked out, everyone turned to Maria when they noticed Michael didn't give Maria a hug or kiss goodbye.
"Maria. . ." Tess began, Maria waved her hand and got up.
"He probably just forgot, people do that." Maria said, she wasn't going to let them she that she was effected by what just happened. 'He did just forgot,' Maria thought to herself.
"I'm tired." Kyle said, everyone else agreed and they went to their separate homes. That night Maria waited for Michael to call her like he did almost every night, but when midnight rolled around she realized that he wasn't going to call so she went to bed knowing she would see him tomorrow at school.

Kyle sped into the school parking lot in his mustang with Maria in the back seat and Tess in the seat beside him. They all got out of the car and Maria looked around for Michael but didn't find him, she sighed knowing she was going to have to wait till lunch because he wasn't in any of her classes until after lunch. Her first classes went slow as usual, once lunch began Maria ran out to the quad only to find Isabel sitting in the seat next to Michael and Michael sitting on the end of the bench, Maria took a deep breath and walked over to her friends.
"Hey guys." Maria said smiling at them, they all looked up and smiled back.
"So what's going on?" Maria asked
"Nothing." Kyle answered for everyone, Maria turned to Isabel who was carefully eating her lunch as to not break a nail.
"How do you like Roswell so far Isabel?" Maria asked once again trying to make conversation.
"Okay." Isabel said, Maria rolled her eyes 'The hair dye must have went to her head.' Maria thought. Maria was about to say something else when Isabel turned to Michael and gave him her smile again and said something.
"Michael I need to know where the rest of my classes are, could you show me?" Isabel asked, Maria looked away knowing that he would do it so she missed Michael looking at her carefully before he sighed lightly and said yes. Once he left Maria sat down in their spot and put her head on the table.
"Maria? Are you okay?" Max asked, Maria tired her best to nod her head but it was a bit of a challenge with her head on the table. 'I bet if this was a challenge for me I wonder what it would be like for blonde bottle job, she could hardly get eating right.' Maria thought, quickly she shook off the thoughts and brought her head up to everyone else and smiled signaling she would be alright.
