Chapter 10: The Guy of her Dreams/The Engagement Party Plans.
I hope you like it.
It was the first day of school for Maria and it was hard enough knowing hat her new sisters didn't except her, but starting a new school was really hard.
Maria drove her Explorer into the Harbor High School Parking lot. She noticed the cars around hers were BMWs, Mercedes, Land Rovers, Range Rovers, and Escalades. There were a few other cars around, but she knew that if she would have driven her Nissan to school it would be a piece of shit compared to the brand new Mercedes that was parked next to her.
The Halls were crowded with different groups. The Preps, The Jocks, The Geeks. Then she spotted him. The Boy every girl dreams of atleast the one that Maria did. He had a Punk Grunge look his Blonde hair had streaks of purple and Red and his Eyebrow was pierced. He wore a leather jacket and was caring a guitar case. She was so busy looking at him she didn't even realize she bumped into him.
"Hey. You knew?" He asked.
"Yeah." She said.
"I'm Collin." He said. He didn't look like he was in a hurry.
"I'm Maria." She said Stuttering.
"Well Maria, I like that name it's so Spanish. Are you Spanish?" He asked pointing at her dark skin tone.
"Oh No. My mother had some in her, but get most of my trait from Dad."
"Except for the long Black hair." She said realizing she had said to much.
"I know what you mean. My blonde hair is from my Dad, but my mom I don't know what I got from her. She died when I was like 3 months old." Collin said.
"I am so sorry. Don't be. My Stepmom is cool if you count the countless hours she primps in front of the mirror and uses my Dads credit Cards cool. She's just younger than him you know. Her mom did the same thing."
"Oh that's to bad." Maria said.
"Well, you better get to class." Collin said.
"Yeah, I better." Maria said.
"What's your first class?"
"Intro to Chemistry."
"Oh Rough, I had that last year." He said.
"Thanks for the warning."
Ryan a waited the call back from Caitlyn it had been 4 days since he had called her.
He was working on some new plans for a house, when his cell phone rang.
"Hello." He said hoping it would be Caitlyn.
"Ryan?" Caitlyn asked.
"Yeah."
"It's Caitlyn. My housekeeper gave me your message I just have been busy." Ryan knew that Caitlyn had married some guy like Ryan's age and that he had a son around Maria's age. He had money and Caitlyn was like her mother in that sense but she also loved Marissa. "Well that's ok."
"Hey Caitlyn, I know that you love putting on party's well I want to surprise Marissa with a surprise engagement party." He said hoping that maybe wasn't in the works already.
"Well, I am sure we can fit it in." Ryan heard moving and shuffling of papers.
"Ahh, yes you guys are getting married on Thanksgiving that gives us a week and a half till the wedding. I can probably have mom help me it will be a chore but we'll throw the best darn engagement party ever." Caitlyn said.
"Thanks Cate." He said.
"No prob. Especially for my future brother in law."
"Bye" Ryan said.
"Bye." She hung up.
Ryan flipped his phone shut.
It was a relief. Marissa would love it. Especically the after party of the Engagement party.
Maria came of Intro to Chemistry. Collin was right. It was hard especially since in Atlanta she wasn't near as far in her mathamatics as she needed to be.
Maria walked to her locker.
"Hey." Collin said as he walked up behind her carrying a Calculas book.
"Hey." She said doing her locker combination.
"So how was your first class at Harbor High School?" Collin asked.
"It looks hard."
"Don't worry about it. I can help you if you need it."
"So, Collin can I ask you something?" Maria asked.
"Yeah, well why are you being so like nice to me?"
"Well, never had anyone ask me that before, but I guess because you looked new and it looked like you weren't from around here." He said still smiling.
" No offense, it's just at my old school, guys like you were bad asses who played gigs on the weekend hoping to get some afterwards." Maria said hoping she hadn't offended him.
"Well, my crew goes to Pacific second I don't take offense. I know guys with guitars and red and purple are looked at differently, but I am not like that. Sure a few of my friends are, but to me it's all about he music and the occasional girlfriend who goes before my music if I happen to have one." He said.
"Sorry." She said.
"No big."
"You want to come over sometime and listen to me play?" He asked.
"Really? Me? Your not talking to somebody behind me."
"Lighten up Maria I am not a jerk and your cute." He said.
Maria blushed.
"Listen I have Pre Calc now." He said.
Here's my number Call me tonight. "K." He said.
Maria couldn't' wait to get home.
She had made a friend.
After 8th period Maria made her way out to the parking lot. She saw mostly everybody was gone. Except for a girl around her age at the edge of the parking lot trying to change a tire without a jack.
"Hey." Maria said as she walked up behind the girl.
Her car was older than everybody's and also rustier.
"Hey."
"Do you need some help?" Maria asked.
"Yea, could you?"
"Do you want to call someone?" She asked "I have a cell phone."
"No, no." I can get it.
"Here, let me call my dad." Maria offered.
"No No I can just wait." She said putting the tools back in the trunk.
"Wait for what?"
"I dunno just wait God has everything happen for a reason."
"Well, it is going to rain." Maria said. Looking up at the sky that was becoming very dark very quickly.
"Why don't I take you home." She offered.
"No, you don't have to it's down on the numbered streets."
"Really it's no problem."
"Thanks. I'm Andy short for Andrea." Andrea said.
"I'm Maria."
They talked about guys and where Maria was from.
The numbered streets was sort of like Townhouses.
"Well, Thanks Maria." Andy said as she got out.
"No Problem. Hey if you need a ride to school sometimes give me a holler." She gave Andy her Cell number.
"Thanks."
The ride home was better than the ride to school. She had made new friends and better yet. She had a guy friend. Sure she missed Aaron but this guy was different, he was her dream.
