| Maria held on to her stomach and felt the pain getting stronger. She closed her eyes and tried to relax. Suddenly she felt someone lifting her up. She couldn�t manage to open her eyes she was so exhausted. She felt the person carry her and laying her down on something soft. Like a bed or a couch. Just then she passed out. The next thing Maria knew she was standing in the ballroom again. She looked around, but there was no sign of the gorgeous man she had met before. She started walking and bumped in to someone. She looked up and found herself looking into another beautiful face. But in a whole other way then the man from before. This guy was dark-haired and had this gentle way and he looked like he was the kindest man in the world. �Oh, I�m so sorry,� Maria said when she regained her focus again. �Don�t worry about that, my lady,� the man said. �I�m to blame for it.� Maria looked at him, and just like with the other man, there was something familiar about him. �Can I get you something to drink?� the man asked, not taking his eyes of a woman across the room. �That sounds great,� Maria answered and looked over at the beautiful woman he was staring at. �Who is that?� she asked and pointed. The man looked at Maria. �That is Elisabeth Parker. Dother of Miles Parker, the richest man in Roswell.� Liz? Maria thought. Is that Liz? She looked across the room and saw the resembles to her childhood-friend. Then she saw the man from before walk over to her. �Who is that?� she asked turned to the dark-haired mystery-man. �That is the man Elisabeth is supposed to marry, Michael Guerin.� Michael? Her Michael? Maria was confused. What was going on? Liz and Michael were getting married? She turned to the other man again. �I�m sorry, but I didn�t catch your name?� she said. �It�s Evans. Maxwell Evans�� Maria woke up and looked at her alarm clock. She had overslept. She got out of her bed and went to the bathroom to get ready� Isabel closed her locker and started walking towards homeroom, when she heard someone swearing. It was a good-looking guy about her age, who obviously was having troubles with his locker. �Do you need some help?� she asked and walked over to him. He looked at her and smiled. �I would love some help,� he said and offered Isabel his hand and she took it. �I�m Jack Manes. I just moved here from California, so this is my first day in this school.� They let go of each other�s hands. �I�m Isabel Evans. And I�d be glad to show you around some time. If you�d like to?� �That would be great,� Jack answered. �So what�s the trick in opening these lockers?� he asked and fired away another one of those great smiles of his. Isabel took a step forward. �What�s your combination?� He gave her a note with the numbers on and she used them and then she gave the locker a little push and it opened. �That�s all it takes,� she said and moved away. �Hi Isabel!� she heard someone yell from behind her. She turned around and saw Maria walking towards them. When she reached them Isabel could hear that she had been running, because she was breathing very heavily. �Overslept huh?� Isabel asked with a smile. �Yeah,� Maria answered and started opening her locker that was three lockers away from Jack�s. �Oh I�m sorry,� Isabel said. �This is Jack Manes. Jack, this is my friend Maria DeLuca.� �Nice to meet you,� Maria said. �You too,� Jack said and kept staring at Maria. �Did you say Maria DeLuca?� he asked. �Yes,� Isabel answered. �Why?� �Oh, nothing,� Jack said. �Forget it.� �Well, I have to run to English,� Maria said. �I�ll see you around.� Isabel looked at Jack who was looking at Maria walking away. What just happened? First he was flirting with her and then when Maria showed up he acted all weird? �Come on. I�ll show you to your first class,� she said and took him by the arm. He�s probably just nervous, she thought. After all, it�s his first day in a new town� TBC |
