At lunch Alex, Liz, Maria, and Isabel sat at their table. Alex and Isabel sat beside each other holding hands. Liz and Maria sat opposite them.

�So is this trip a good thing or a bad thing?� Isabel asked as she looked at Maria.

�I don�t know; can be good or bad,� Liz said back.

�Well bad� Alex said whispering, hoping that Maria didn�t hear him.

�Why?� Maria asked confused.

�They put us six together,� Alex said waiting for Maria to blow up.

�WHAT, forget it! I�m not coming� Maria shouted as she rose from her seat.

�Maria you have to come; maybe we will find something important� Alex said hoping that Maria would change her mind.

�I don�t feel like it� Maria said.

�MARIA!� Michael called out as he walked towards their table with Max. Maria saw him and panicked.

�Got to go� Maria said and ran off towards the parking lot.

�Don�t forget to pack� Liz called out after her.

�Hey!� said Michael as he sat down beside Isabel and Max sat down next to Liz and pulled her onto his lap.

�Hey Michael!� Isabel said.

�Talked to Maria yet about this weekend?� Michael said trying not to sound eager.

�Yea, she is coming� Liz said and looked at Michael with concern.

�Oh� Michael said he wanted to be apart of her life but she wouldn�t let him *god I hate her for that*

�Michael snap out of it, you have to learn to live without Maria� Max said. He knew Michael and how much he cared about Maria, sadly he found that out in three in the morning.

�What if I don�t want to?� Michael said angrily back at Max.

�You have to, besides we all will be there,� Alex said trying to comfort Michael.

�And see all of you making goo-goo eyes, no thanks� Michael said sarcastically

�Come on, at least Maria will be there,� Liz said trying to get Michael with them.

�fine� Michael said, he wanted to see and be with Maria.
