Chapter 2: The plan
After Maria semi-patched up the bloody faced Antonio who was still a tad bit disoriented from the bony pale fist to his face, Maria dusted herself off and stood up straight muttering about how he shouldn't say such things about her little angel and looked at each of the three boys in the eyes.
Elliot twitched slightly because of her unusual silence and intense stare, so he spoke up "So, are you just gunna stand there and stare us down?"
Maria flinched and shook her head "No, I just was just thinking about how to put this…."
"You? Thinking?" Elliot teased
All he got was a growl and a small "shut up" before she began
"Here's the thing, as you probably know that I am aspiring to be a proper girl, so I need your help to become a woman."
Just before Francis got his notorious perverted glimmer in his eyes Maria gave him a round house kick to the stomach. Francis coughed and wheezed out "What was that for?"
"I know your mind all too well…. Anyways what I meant was I want to become a lady or something along those lines!"
"And what does that have to do with us…?" Elliot lifted up an eyebrow curiously
"Well, first off…" She started then pointed at Francis "Fran-fran 's knowledge on women's appearance, styling, make-up, hair, outfit coordination will help me out with that area!"
Francis grinned and inserted his statement by saying "C'est magnifique"
" then… as for you Elli I know you have a pretty good idea as to how ladies act cause your ex-girlfriend was that prissy girl Rose…"
"What! How do you know about that!" Elliot exclaimed grabbing hold of Maria and shaking her
"uuuh…. When your friends with these two there is nothing you don't know~" she says in response before shaking off the brunette and bumping knuckles with her cohorts in crime
Elliot sighed, upset that he was reminded of his breakup and that Maria was using it to her advantage in some way. Then he glanced over to the albino and said "And what about Antonio, what is he to do?"
Maria froze "ummm…. Well…." She muttered as she mulled over what task to give her curly haired friend.
Antonio looked at her expectantly and said "Oh! I know! I should be your guide for romance so that you're ready for getting a boyfriend!"
Maria nodded enthusiastically "Yeah! That's it! You're a genius Toni!...wait...what does that have to do with becoming lady like?"
Antonio shrugged "It's worth a try?"
Maria snapped her fingers "I know you can teach me how to bake and cook N' stuff, cause like that what normal girls do right?"
Antonio fist pumped "Alright! My cooking skills are being acknowledged for their greatness"
Maria put her hands on her hips "But they're going to pale in comparison to my awesome skills that I will soon acquire!"
The three boys chuckled and said in unison "Yeah yeah whatever.."
"Hey! It's true and soon you will see and bow to my awesomness!"
As if in convenient way the bell rang and the mish-mosh of a group of friends bolted to get inside the building.
- Later in class-
Maria stared at the board with a bored look not wanting to pay the slightest bit of attention to whatever that gibberish was that the teacher was writing, because she had already tuned out his voice. She took out her cellphone and began texting to Elliot 'yo elli can u start te lessons liek aftr school tdy plz?', it wasn't long after she got a reply.
'Can't you use proper grammer when texting? Yeah, I guess I will'
Maria snorted and put her hand over her mouth attempting to stifle a laugh
'dude y u shucha g33k? btw thks' she texted with a smirk on her face
Before she got the response from Elliot, a large ugly hairy hand took her cell and gruffly said "I'll be taking this young lady." It was her teacher, Mr. wasshisface, she glanced up at his stubbly bearded face of the teacher whom she never learned his name and muttered "Give it back?"
"Not until after school." He stated with his slight Italian accent.
She sighed desperately, she didn't want to learn about ancient Rome , she'd rather tease Elliot instead!
