Let the story begin!

*Great I'm late again* captain of the football team Michael Guerin thought as he walked down the halls of Roswell High. It's not as if school was a big priority for him anyway. All the teachers knew how hot he was on the field so they all turned a blind eye to his lack of educational participation. He snuck into class, biology if he wasn't mistaken, and took his seat in the back. * And so begins another Roswell day. God I can't wait till I get outta here*
He looked around the class. Liz Parker sat near the front scribbling notes about everything the teacher droned on about. Liz might not have been the epitome of social class, her great love for science taking care of that but she also wasn't a complete loser. They were even semi-friends. The reason for that sitting in the row behind her. It was Max Evans. He too loved science and was also writing notes, however every now and then he would sneak peeks at Liz Parker, trying to catch her eye for another look-into-my soul kinda moments. Michael smirked, those two were so perfect for each other if only they'd get their acts together.
He then moved on to the only other person in class who held any interest for him. Maria Deluca, friend of Liz, stared blankly out the window, obviously not paying attention, like him. She wore a low cut baby tee and low riding jeans, the sight alone enough to make a guy drool. To him she was fascinating, by far the hottest girl in class but alas the most unattainable. It was a well-known fact that Maria was not as they say easy. If any guy tried to get into her pants lets juts say they'd be in a world of hurt come the morning.
One of Michael's favourite things to do in class was to observe others. It's not as if he'd ever be caught doing any actual schoolwork. His thought were interrupted however when the bell rang and everyone moved off to lunch.

"Guerin, man great game on Friday." Kyle, a fellow football jock said as he met him in the hall.
"Yeah" Michael replied automatically, but his eyes were on something else. The body of Maria to be exact as she walked down the corridor. Kyle followed his gaze and noticed what Michael was starting at.
"Don't even think about it. In fact don't even contemplate thinking about it. That girl, my friend, is way out of your league. Heck she's outta my league and that's saying something." Kyle said half laughing and half sympathetic.
"Who's out of whose league?" max asked as he came up to his two other friends.
"Maria Deluca. Michael here's gotta little thing for her."
"Kyle what the hell are you talking about? Where do you get these ideas from anyway?" Michael asked annoyed.
"Believe me man, I have seen many guys with the same look in your eyes directed at the very same girl. They all tried and they all failed. I heard Sam Harris slapped her on the butt last Tuesday. He got his head smashed into a locker door followed by a kick to the groin. Complements of your favourite femme fatale. Maria is so not one to be messed with dude."
The guys had moved to the bleachers by now and they sat down.
"No way man. No girl is unreachable, you just gotta go about it the right way. Anyway everyone knows Sam's a dick he probably deserved it."
"Are you actually saying you could get a girl like Maria?"
"Actually yeah. In fact I bet in a week I could get her to be all heads over heals in love with me." He replied smugly.
"Hmmm a bet. I like it. Max care to referee here? You are of course our conscience in these matters, ever the voice of reason."
"Well I reckon you shouldn't be doing this in the first place. I mean you do know this is going to blow up in your faces right?" Max was skeptical and cautious as always.
"Ignore him, he's just worried that it might get back to his precious Liz that he had something to do with it. So Kyle, the stakes are..? I mean is this just a pride thing or are we gonna get down to business with actual money?"
Kyle thought for a minute "$1000, that's is if you reckon you could cough it up. You are going down Guerin."
Michael was a bit worried. $1000 was a lot * Well I'll just have to win then won't I? *
"Done" and they shook hands.
"You guys are gonna be sorry, don't you ever watch movies? The guys always make the bets and get humiliated in front of the whole school or something like that. It ain't gonna be pretty." Max reasoned but both were too stubborn to answer him. "Fine then, just don't say I didn't warn you. Let the games begin."

Maria met Liz outside at a picnic-style table. Liz sat down on the bench and began to unpack a sandwich. Maria sat on the table with her feet on the bench as she chewed on a carrot stick.
"So chica, I saw Max do the googly eyes at you again in Bio." Maria teased.
Liz blushed "Maria stop its, he's a nice guy. Anyway he just wanted to borrow my notes that's all."
Maria rolled her eyes. "Yeah sure Lizzy. Max borrowing your notes when everyone knows he's as much a science geek as you."
"What ever, I still kinda like him anyway. How bout you then? I saw you checking out Michael Guerin when he came in." Liz said trying to get Maria back for her Max comments.
"Well he is hot and not totally despicable I spose, for a jock that is." She said thoughtfully munching on yet another carrot stick. "Hey you coming down to Club Grey tonight? Alex's band is gonna be playing, should be pretty cool."
Alex was another friend of theirs. He had yet to show for lunch though. Probably something to do with his new girlfriend Isabel Evans.
"Hmm don't think so. I got a shift at the Crashdown then I have to start in on my trig homework."
"Fine more guys for me then." She replied winking.

Michael walked up to the table the two girls were situated at. Max trailing behind him.
"Hey." He said to the girl on the table (Maria incase you forgot)
"Hey there." * Speak of the devil*
"Umm... hi Liz could I get those notes from you now?" Max asked. This was to be Michael's cover to talk to Maria. Plus of course Max wanted some time with Liz. The two moved off leaving Michael and Maria.
"So, what's up?" Maria asked, curious as to why the sport star was standing in front of her.
"Well I was just wondering if you wanted to go out sometime?"
Maria raised an eyebrow at this. It wasn't often that a jock would plain ask her out. Sexually assault her and make rude gestures to their groin yes. Never ask her out though.
"Interesting request. And what brought on this Mr Guerin?" She asked not giving anything away.
"Well I say you in Bio and just wanted to get to know you."
* This guy has got to get some better lines.* she thought amused. "I'll think about it" she said with a devilish grin and with that she hopped off the table and headed towards her next class.
***
He just happened to be in her next class. English, something he would rarely show up for but he wanted to talk to Maria again. He sat in the chair beside her and looked to the front pretending to be absorbed with the teacher's lecture. He quickly scribbled a note down and put it on her table.
| Hey...so make up your mind yet? -Michael |
She scanned it quickly before writing her reply. She had an idea.
| Actually yeah. Meet me. Club Grey 9.00 tonight. |
Michael smiled * This is gonna be easier than I thought *
Maria however was still a bit suspicious. * there's got to be a reason he asked me out * however her thoughts were interrupted when the bell rang.
*on adamant request Club Trent is hereby Club grey. Hope it makes you feel better "I HAT E Trent" !!!! Thanks for all your reviews guys and sorry this isn't really an update*
