CHAPTER 6
"So Maria, where you from?" asked Kyle who was still trying to calm Tess.
"New York, and is she alright?" Maria asked while nodding her head in Tess's direction. The girl looked like she was hyperventilating.
"Yeah she'll be fine" said Liz quickly not really caring if she was. "So why of all places did you move to Roswell?" she asked
"Don't know really. I got home from wagging school one day and my 'mother' announces that we're moving. I really didn't have a say in the matter." Maria replied nonchalantly.
The gang laughed when Maria said 'home from wagging school'.
"Bummer" said Alex who was stealing bits and pieces from Isabel's lunch.
"Your telling me" Maria said while watching the blatantly obvious attraction between them. She glanced over to Michael who was staring at her with his deep brown eyes.
"What?" she asked. Michael looked away and slightly blushed at being caught but tried to cover his embarrassment by asking her the first thing that came into his head which earned him surprised looks all round.
"You got a boyfriend?" "Why you asking?" Maria replied staring intensely at him
"Maybe" said Michael with a shy smile
Maria smirked at his answer then said " Not if you were the last guy in this rat hole you call a town.
Michaels eyes went wide and his jaw dropped. No girl had ever turned him down or resisted his flirting. 'That did not just happen' he thought
Everyone cracked themselves laughing and Tess said "Way to go Maria, no ones ever turned the 'great' Guerin down."
"I was joking, like I'd go out with her anyway I have better taste" Michael said but instantly regretted when he saw a brief flicker of hurt in her eyes which she quickly covered up.
"Oh what you prefer bimbos with no brains well I'm sure Pam's single why don't you go chat her up?" Maria snapped
Before Michael could retort Tess interrupted " Hey Maria, how do you get your hair so curly and soft?"
Liz rolled her eyes and all the guys groaned.
Maria looked at Tess strangely but noticed the girl looked serious and remembered Isabel's earlier comment about the girl and hair and decided to answer her.
"Um I use shampoo and conditioner and the curls however annoying----"
"Like yourself" Michael interrupted.
Maria ignored him and continued "--- are natural"
Tess satisfied with the answer went back to eating her lunch and Maria turned to glare at Michael. Sensing that they were going to start arguing again Alex asked her a particularly weird question.
"Hey Maria do you and your mom have money? Like are you rich?"
"You could say that" Maria chuckled and picked up her sandwich. "Why?"
"Oh it's just we're all rich too and by the look of your clothes and the car you came to school in I was just curious" He replied.
"How much do you have?" Tess asked.
"Not to be rude or anything but that's none of your business" Maria said while looking Tess dead in the eye.
"Yeah Tess, god how could you be so rude. Anyway which car is yours?" Liz asked while looking at the car park.
"The black Jag convertible" "You like that colour don't you? Black I mean" asked Liz referring to her car, makeup and clothes.
"You could say that" replied Maria
"So Maria, what do you have next?" asked Isabel taking out her schedule to compare.
"Ummmm Maths I think." Maria said looking at her schedule and then giving it to Isabel.
"Let's see. Well you have Maths with me and Liz, English with Michael and Kyle, Spanish with Michael and Tess, Biology with Alex and Max, Art with Michael and History with all of us" said Isabel
Just as she said this the bell indicating the end of lunch rang and Isabel and Liz were pulling Maria to class with them.
'I have English after this with Maria' Michael thought and for the first time in history found himself actually exited to go to class. He just had to get though Biology first.
