| Maria walked down the stairs. 'What the hell just happened. He kissed me to get a connection. He didn't have to kiss me that dirty son of a...' "Maria come in here I would like you to meet the rest of your house mates." Maria lost her train of thought when she finished climbing the last couple of stairs and walked into the kitchen. Inside she shall a medium height blonde girl she had slightly curly hair like Maria. Next to her was a muscled young guy. He had deep soulful eyes and black hair. 'Why are all the cute human guys gay' Maria thought. 'Ok they aren't all gay but still.' "Hi I'm Jack." He smiled and reached a hand out Maria took it and gave it a slight shake. "I'm Maria." She turned to Jennifer and took her hand. "Hey I'm Jen your cuz." She said shaking Maria's hand then stuffing her hands into her pockets. "Why don't we sit down and eat before it gets cold." Audrey said trying to break some of the awkward silence. Everyone sat down and just looked at each other not knowing what to say. "I know this isn't much and I'm not sure what you like but..." "Oh no Grams this is great a lot more that I usually have." Maria said looking at the table of homemade food. Audrey had fixed mashed potatoes, gravy, corn, green beans, and fried chicken, and she could see the apple pie on the cooling rack. "Oh well it was nothing. What do you and your mother usually have?" "Well normally I just eat whatever's left over at the Crashdown I don't like to eat alone. If my mom is home we usually just have pizza or whatever else we can dig up in the frig." Maria said putting some green beans on her plate. "What do you mean you don't like to eat alone isn't your mother" there or Sean." Audrey said. "Oh well I don't really know where Sean is. My mom is always at some convention or another so I don't see her that much." "Don't I know the feeling." Jennifer muttered under her breath. "Well what about your dad?" Jack asked she hadn't mentioned him. "He left when I was seven so I really don't know where he is." Maria said looking down at her plate like it was the most interesting thing in the world. "Oh, um sorry." That was the end of conversation. After desert Maria went straight up stairs not wanting any more awkward moments. She finally found the bathroom it was two doors down from hers. Maria went back to her room and shut the door and locked the window and pulled the curtain over it. "Don't need any more visits tonight." Maria muttered under her breath. She sat down at her desk and looked at her picture. She was already home sick. Dinner had been a complete disaster. I have a tially evil alien running around which I can't tell the others about. Maria felt the tear falling down her face. 'Dammit why do I have to be so emotional. I'm a Teflon babe.' Maria thought angrily wiping the tears away only to be replaced by more. Maria threw her hands down defeat. Knock. Knock. Knock. Maria turned around from her chair and looked at the door. She forced herself to start crying and wiped away the last tears. She looked in the mirror real quick the called out. "Come in." Jennifer walked in. "Hey, I'm sorry about dinner I'm not making you feel to welcome huh?" She said sitting down on the bed. "You're fine it's not like you've been mean or anything." Maria said cracking one of her 80 bolt smiles. Jennifer couldn't help but smile also. "Look I just came in here to say I know what's like to be sent away from your family to here in a town where you don't know anybody." "You do huh?" "You have no idea." "Well tell me." "Over the next two hours the talked about their lives (minus the aliens). Finally they heard a tap at the door. "Come in" Both girls yelled together. Jack walked in with a big smile on his face. "Here you guys are." "Hey Jack come sit down." Jen said patting the spot on the bed next to her. He sat down. "Hey Maria I'm sorry about what I said at dinner." "Chill you didn't know. Now Jen can fill you in on my life story outside my room because frankly the time zone change and the travel is catching up to me so out." Maria said pointing to the door already getting in the bed. "Yes your majesty." Jack said while he and Jen walked out of the room bowing. Maria just smirked. "Don't you know it." ***************************************************** Maria walked down stairs. Maybe it was the sea water or something but Maria didn't care she looked good. Her skin seemed smoother and her hair softer yet more full. She was wearing a short dark blue jean skirt and a red short sleeve t-shirt that clung tightly to her body. Black combat boots completed the look that and the black choker with a blue/green jewel in the middle that accented her eyes she looked hot. Maybe even Isabel material. Then again why push your luck. "Good morning Maria." Audrey said looking up from her coffee her eyes looking over her outfit. "Interesting outfit." "Oh I like the boots." Jen said walking into the kitchen followed by Jack. "You think it will be ok make a good impression." "It will make an impression alright." Jack said picking up a piece of toast. Jen just smacked him in the stomach. "Ignore him. My dear Maria you will hold all the guys of this pitiful town at your mercy." "Jennifer don't talk like that and try to show some school sprit." Audrey said sternly before cracking a smile. "Yeah trust me Maria you will be fine. If your not we can always ask the aliens of Roswell to come and take you back." Jack said everyone one started laughing. 'He was only kidding come on girl lighten up.' Maria thought giving a small laugh. "Come on you guys don't want to be late your first day of school now do you come on get going." Grams said ushering them all out. TBC |
