Chapter 4- Surprises
Maria turned to the others.
"Is there anyone with that little girl over there?" she asked.
Everyone turned round to look at the girl.
"I don't think so," said Max. "I noticed her earlier and she didn't have anyone with her then."
"Has no-one served her?" asked Kyle.
"I didn't even notice her," said Liz. "It was too busy earlier."
"I'll go now," said Maria.
She walked over to the little girl.
"Hiya," she said to her.
The little girl looked up and smiled and Maria was surprised at how pretty she was. Her curly blonde hair was sitting perfectly and her blue eyes sparkled.
"Hello," she replied.
Maria was surprised to hear the girl had an Irish accent.
"Would you like to order anything?" Maria asked.
"Yes please. Could I have a vanilla milkshake please?"
"Of course," said Maria. "I'll be right back with it."
Maria walked back to the others.
"She's really polite" commented Maria.
The others nodded. They'd been listening.
Maria went up and got the milkshake. She walked back to the little girl. She set it on the table in front of her.
"Thank you," said the girl.
"No problem," replied Maria. "Do you mind if I sit here?" Maria continued.
The girl shook her head. "Of course not," she said.
Maria sat down opposite her.
"So what's your name?" Maria investigated.
"Lauren."
"That's a pretty name," Maria said.
"Thank you. What's yours?" replied Lauren.
"Maria."
"That's really pretty too,' said Lauren.
Maria smiled.
"Are you here by yourself?" Maria asked.
Lauren nodded.
"Your Mom or Dad aren't here?"
"No," answered Lauren.
"Oh," said Maria. "Are you new round here?"
Lauren nodded.
"Where are you staying?" asked Maria.
Lauren shrugged.
"You have no-one with you?"
"No. I came by myself," replied Lauren.
"What age are you Lauren? If you don't mind me asking."
"10," Lauren said.
"Why are you in Roswell?" Maria asked.
Lauren looked at her.
"I know I'm asking a lot of questions," said Maria "But you're very young to be here in Roswell on your own," she continued.
Lauren nodded.
"Well I'm looking for someone," she said.
"Who?" asked Maria.
Lauren pulled out a photograph.
"Michael Guerin," she said while passing the picture to Maria.
Maria looked surprised.
"Why do you want to see Michael?"
"You know him?" asked Lauren, avoiding the question.
"Yeah, he's my boyfriend," Maria replied.
"Oh," said Lauren.
Maria repeated her previous question:
"Why do want to see Michael?"
"He's my brother."
Maria and Isabel gasped. Liz dropped the jug she was holding onto the floor. Tess dropped the glass she had in her hand. Max's, Alex's and Kyle's mouths dropped open.
