"Hello boys, having a nice time? I could always ask her for you, Ruben. If you wanted, of course."
She grinned mockingly. "In fact, she's sitting over there right now."
Ruben glared at Rosalie, annoyed with her. "No thanks", he hissed, getting up immediately from his table. He was sick of everything ... the teasing, the joking, the stupidity of it all! Silently, he proceeded into the school hall, throwing his locker door open. Frustrated, he grabbed his skateboard, and rolled through the hall, desperate to get away from everything for just a second. As he approached the school doors, he immediately leapt off his skateboard, grabbing it easily in his left hand. Feeling slightly calmer, he shoved the doors open and stormed outside, his black hair sweeping over his right eye. Not caring what anyone thought, he grabbed a cigarette and lighter from his pocket, and waited outside the school.

I'm sorry, but I have to say this: This guy is so cute in Roswell!! I thought the obsession would go away, but it's stuck to me like glue :P
((Soleil mentioned that I'd take her character, so here I am. :3))
Maria's eyes followed Ruben's figure until he disappeared, and looked back over at Rosalie. "You really need to stop making fun of people," Maria said with an annoyed sigh and plopped down on the plastic seat.
Ruben cringed. He didn't care what people thought of him, but at the same time, he didn't have the courage to ask Maria out, especially with everyone teasing him and making jokes about the situation. Even Jack, the person he considered his best friend, seemed to find everything so amusing. As he raised his cigarette to his mouth again, he felt a cough building up in the back of his throat, but swallowed it back down. Usually, he wouldn't have cigarettes, but when he felt as miserable and annoyed as he did, it was simply an instinct.

Maria ate quickly and looked out the window where Ruben was standing. Cleaning up, she then walked outside. "Sorry about that, Rosalie has always been a tease for everyone," Maria said with a low sigh.
Ruben immediately tensed at Maria's presence, but his expression remained calm as he gently pulled his cigarette away from his mouth.Now's your chance, he thought. "Thanks", he muttered, looking up from the ground. "So is Jack", he added, "Which makes sense since they're brother and sister, I guess". Again, he looked away, remembering the many occasions where he'd been teased. "Maria, I kinda have to tell you something", he blurted out, cringing as he did. She's going to turn you down, fool, part of his mind insisted. But part of him said he'd held off telling her for too long ... As he turned around, his black hair swept over his right eye again, shading the corner of his face. His eyes glimmered darkly in the light, beams of sun reflecting off them.

Maria had her arms crossed and was looking up front, watching everyone else. "What is it?" She asked and looked over at Ruben, watching him curiously. There was something in Ruben's eyes that gave Maria some sort of message, but she couldn't figure it out.
She is so out of your league. Like she would ever be interested in you. Ruben waited as his cigarette finally cooled down completely, and then placed it in the nearby cigarette butt bin. His eyes flickered to Maria, and stayed there. Before he could decide not to tell her, he blurted out the words he wanted to say. "I like you, a lot", he admitted. "I have for a long time", he added honestly, his black hair sweeping away from his eyes, and back to where it was supposed to be. "So what I'm trying to ask", he went on, swallowing gently. "Is ... will you go out with me?"

Maria's eyes held shock and widened a bit. "Oh," Maria muttered as she crossed her arms and rubbed them, becoming slightly cold. She then smiled as she though of it and looked back at Ruben. "Okay, sure. Where will we meet?"
