Chapter Three; wondering

When class ended Michael got up from his seat and left the class as quickly as he could holding that assignment in his hand. Lucky for him it was lunch time so he walked to the table that him, Max, and Isabel almost always shared.

Maria watched him leave and as the rest of the class filed out of the room and into the halls she sat and read over the report.

"So, I see you had no problem finding Mr. Guerin, and furthermore you accomplished what myself and many other members of the factually have been trying for 2 years now, you actually got him to do the assignment."

Maria looked up at her teacher and smiled, "Yeah" She answered before standing, gathering her things and walking outside. When she saw Alex she smiled and put her book bag down on the ground trusting that no one would take it she ran up behind Alex and covered his eyes with her hands.

Alex smiled and mumbled Maria's name before turning and hugging her for a brief second. He slung his arm over her shoulders and walked with her to retrieve her back pack they then found a table not far from Michael's and sat down.

Michael watched the exchange until Max and Isabel walked over to the table and sat down. "What's that?" Max asked pointing to the folded assignment in Michael's had.

"Nothing" He answered folding it smaller and stuffing it in his pocket.

Liz joined Alex and Maria at their table. She tucked her hair behind her ear and looked over at Max. She smiled shyly before turning her attention to Maria and Alex.

"I need a nap" Maria sighed and leaned her head against Alex's shoulder.

Alex smiled and wrapped his arm around Maria and kissed her forehead lightly.

Maria giggled before sitting and the 3 ate their lunch.

Max and Isabel talked and Michael pretended to be paying attention. He watched Maria and Alex, and all though he knew there was nothing going on (with Maria and Alex, or with him and Maria for that matter) he couldn't help but feel a pang of jealously when Alex wrapped his arm around her.

Why had Maria done that stupid assignment for him?

The bell rung jarring Michael from his thoughts. The students went to their various classes and he sighed before just walking home. Michael finally got back to the trailer and laid back on his bed. Michael pulled the assignment out of his pocked and studied Maria answers, learning more about her.

For some reason this was hard to write. Should I continue this fic? If I do, does anyone have ANY suggestions or anything they would like to read about? Thanks!
