CHAPTER 8
"I bet you $50 that Michael and Maria will get it on by the end of the month." Kyle said with way to much enthusiasm.
"What the hell are you talking about Kyle?" Isabel snapped
"What I said."
"You want me to bet that my new friend will get it on with my brother by the end of the month?" Isabel said slowly
"Yes" replied Kyle
"No" said Isabel
"Why not?" he asked
"Because not only is it stupid but you would lose." Isabel said confidently
"Oh, I don't think so" he sing songed
"Why, you know something I don't?" Isabel asked sceptically
"No but it's totally obvious that there's attraction there I mean did you see the way they were looking at each other?" said Kyle
"Yes they were glaring at each other you moron" she said and walked away.
Kyle ran and caught up with her "Be that as it may but Budda says there's massive amounts of sexual tension in there presence."
"Kyle if you ever quote budda in my presence again then I will shove budda up your----"
"Got ya no budda." Kyle interrupted Isabel slightly scared for his well being.
"But seriously you can't tell me that you didn't notice the passion between them?" Kyle asked not believing that she could miss it. 'Well she can be rather dense at times' Kyle thought
"Yes I can because there wasn't" Isabel said believing Kyle had gone nuts.
"So is it a bet then? I bet that they will and you bet that they won't. deal? Kyle held out his hand for her to shake
"Deal" Isabel sighed 'The poor fool just lost $50 but now I can get those new shoes yay!'
'I'm Isabel Guerin and I'm dense help me' Kyle thought while laughing 'Easiest $50 I ever made.' Kyle stopped laughing when he saw Michael turn the corner 'Gee should I feel bad that I just made a bet on my friends that I'm guaranteed to win?' Kyle stood there a second and then thought 'Hell no' and continued to walk to his next class.
By the end of the day Maria was tired and even more annoyed than she thought possible. She had just been asked out by every member of the football team bar Michael, Kyle, Alex and Max then she just managed to escape a group of girls who wanted to know where she shopped to get her cool clothes. 'This town is detrimental to my health' she thought as she walked towards her car.
"Hey Maria" She turned to the voice and discovered Liz
"Hey" she replied looking back at her car
"So what are you gonna do now? Coz if there's no hurry to get home you could come to the Crashdown for some after school food and gossip? Asked Liz hopefully
"Uh huh, now tell me the real reason why you want me to come" She eyed the girl suspiciously
'How did she---' Liz was brought out of her thoughts when Maria saw the shocked look on Liz's face and decided to explain
"I may not have known you for very long Liz but I definitely know an hidden agenda when I see it"
"Oh, well it's just that I have to work now and there's no one to talk to until the dinner rush when other kids from school usually come and what I was really hoping is if you know, we could just talk you know, get to know each other better without Iz or Tess around coz you seem like a really cool person and considering the fact that you just knew that there was hidden meaning behind what I asked makes me want to get to know you coz no one else has done that, coz even though there my friends they don't really know me you know?" Liz said with sadness and while blinking back a few tears
"Unfortunately yeah I do" Maria said while looking at a distant object
"And I really don't have a best friend. I mean Iz is cool when she's not being a snob and being friends with bottle job is just out of the question, so I'd really like it if you would be mine because I don't know about you but I feel a real friendship here. So what do you say, Be my friend?" Liz asked sheepishly.
"Sure Liz, I'll be your friend." Replied Maria with a slight smile on her face
Liz looked up at her and beamed. "So you wanna go to the Crashdown?"
"Why not, you wanna ride?" Maria asked actually amused by the girl who a second ago was on the verge of tears and now was bouncing on invisible balls on her feet with a grin so wide Maria wondered if it hurt.
"In the Jag? Oh my god yes" Liz replied happily
"Ok, I'm not familiar with Roswell yet so I'm gonna need directions" Maria said starting the car and feeling a little happier herself.
.......
Michael looked up as the bell on the Crashdown chimed where he saw an exited Liz talking the ears off of Maria who tried seem like she had an idea of what she was talking about.
"I bet you $50 that Michael and Maria will get it on by the end of the month." Kyle said with way to much enthusiasm.
"What the hell are you talking about Kyle?" Isabel snapped
