Your Character
When you first meet her, she seems flustered and agitated when she asks you if you will be going to the homecoming dance. If you flirt with her or give her a vague answer, she gets a little annoyed with your character. You can spend time with her at the pool. Later, when you work together on the homecoming committee, she starts to warm up to you. You comfort her after she is disrespected by the homecoming committee, and you may go down to the beach with her in which she will tell you it is very difficult for her to keep up with expectations. At Hearst, you can get trapped with her in a locker and spend time with her on the roof. Later that night, she will ask you to go to homecoming with her if you flirt with her the most. You can go to homecoming with her and she will make out with you in a classroom.

Caleb
If you choose not to romance Maria, she will go to homecoming with Caleb. She will express embarrassment at being taller than Caleb in heels.

Michael
Her personality clashes with Michael and she dislikes his rebel/slacker attitude. In Book 2, Chapter 1, they argue about the morning news broadcast as when something goes wrong, Maria immediately blames Michael. She does not trust him very much, but sometimes they can work together. In Book 2, Chapter 10, it is revealed that the reason they were together so much was because Michael thought Isa was dirty and yet, to no avail, they haven't uncovered anything as of yet.
