| It was now a month sense Maria moved away from Hank. She lived with the DeLuca's. Tomorrow she was going to move in to her new place, sure it wasn't much but it was enough for Maria. She was just glad that she didn't live whit Hank anymore. "Good Morning" a dark sleepy voice said coming out to the terrace. "Morning" Maria said looking up at a sleepy Michael from the bench she was sitting at. "So how long have you been up?" Michael said as he sat down next to her. "Don't know" Maria said looking down the empty street. "What where you thinking about?" Michael said, he knew that Maria was thinking about something. "I don't know, stuff I guess" She said as she sipped her juice "So tomorrow you move out of here" Michael said placing his arm around Maria. "Yeah I know" She said as she curled up next to Michael. "I will miss you" Michael whispered. "What miss me? I will live five minutes from here" Maria said surprised. "I know but I liked having you right here whit me" Michael said smiling. "Me to " Maria whispered back, but there was something odd about her answer. "What" Michael said confused. "Oh, I don't know I just, I don't know where I would be if you hadn't helped me" Maria whispered. "Hey you don't get mushy on me, now come on we must get ready or we will be late for school" Michael said as he rose from the swing. "Come on can't we miss one day" Maria said smiling trying to get of. "No, you haven't missed one class sense you moved in here and I am not going to let you start now" Michael said looking down at Maria. "Come on" Maria whined "No" Michael said in a commanding voice. "Please" Maria said trying to flirt. "No and that's a big No, I will go and make coffee" Michael said smiling as he walked into the house. "fine" Maria said following him. ******* At school before first class, they all stood in front of Max�s locker. "So Maria, want to have a girls night?" Liz said. She wanted to get to know Isabel and Maria better than she already did. "No, I don't feel like it" Maria said tired. "Come on it will be fun" Isabel said smiling. "Ok" Maria said willingly. She didn't have the energy to have a fight with Liz. "Great, my house, chick flick, ice-cream and girl talks" Liz said smiling. "Sounds great" Isabel said as she smiled at Maria but she had her bored face on. "WHAT, we guys aren't aloud?" Alex said angrily. "No, just us girls" Liz said teasing him. "Oh, come on" Alex said angrily. "No" Isabel said back. The bell rang and the school hall began to become empty. "Come on better get to class, don't want to be late" Michael said as he took Maria�s hand and practically dragged her away. "Jesus, Michael five minutes doesn't hurt" Maria said trying to get away from Michael. "Yes it does" said taking stronger hold of her. "Ok, ok I am coming" Maria said as she stopped fighting Michael's hold on her. "Girls! My house at 6" Liz called out after her. "Ok" Maria called back. "See you" Isabel said as she walked of to her class. TBC |
