and Ryan are finally finished college, and are both trying to be
lawyers. Couples together are, Seth and Summer, Ryan and Marissa.
There will be more then just these four characters in it.

the story all that well, I apologize. If you like the story at all,
please review, as I will have a lot of time this week for updating.
Disclaimer: I don't own it, we all know who does.
Ryan walked out of the building near USC. He has just gotten his
results from the bar exam. He passed quite well, and after 7 years of
hard work and studying, he could be a lawyer. Seth had passed a few
weeks ago, but he had attended Yale in New Haven, Connecticut.
Thankfully for everyone, Seth would be heading back toward the Orange
County in just a few short weeks. Ryan and him were both planning to
work under Sandy's own firm. Which, when he retired, he would give to
Seth and Ryan, so they could co-own it. Seth has always pictured
himself doing that, do to his upbringing, but Ryan never thought it
would turn out like this. In Chino, people never ended up like this;
all they wanted was to get through high school, if even that. Not only
was Ryan set up for a great future, job wise, but also he has a great
relationship with Marissa Copper.
In high school, their junior year, they had started dating. That year,
after problems with a guy named Oliver, and one of his ex-girlfriends
from Chino, they had broken up. Throughout senior year they worked it
back together, and all through college, they had made it work.
Marissa had decided to go to Stanford University, and now was a writer
for a fashion magazine. Summer wasn't accepted there and ended up
going to a fashion school in New York City, close to Connecticut.
After college she was doing internships with DKNY, Abercrombie and
Fitch, and other places like that. Four years later, she became a
fashion designer. The job suited her really well. However, even though
working for DKNY was great, she missed California and was offered a
job in California where she could create her own line and she couldn't
refuse it. At the time, her and Seth were dating. It was summer time,
and he only had one year left until graduating, and becoming a lawyer.
He wanted to transfer, but it was too late, so she left. For a while,
they had kept a long distance relationship up fairly well. They talked
on the phone every night, sent e-mails when they could, and even met
up a few times. Then classes started and Seth found himself
unbelievably busy, and it was his last year, so he needed to get
everything done. Summer also spent a lot of late nights working on her
new designs. So, a few months ago they had broken up, at least until
they could see one another again.
Now that Seth was coming back, he hopped that there was yet another
chance for them to be together. Before they had broken up and it had
been years together, it couldn't be over forever.
As Ryan found out the results of his exam, the first person he called
was Marissa. Even though she was still in work, since it was 4 in the
afternoon, a quick call wouldn't hurt. He pulled out the silver cell
phone dialed Marissa's work number.
"Hey, Marissa, I am sorry to call you at work, I just had to tell you
some good news," Ryan said, as Marissa first picked up.
"No, it's fine. I wasn't really doing much anyway. What it is?"
"I passes my bar exam! I am now a lawyer!"
"Wow! Ryan that is awesome! I knew you could do it!"
"Alright well I will see you at home in about an hour, I love you
Marissa, bye."
"Yeah, I will be there on time tonight, since I don't have much to do
here! I love you too, sweetie. Bye"
They both hung up, and Ryan had the best idea of his life. Well, he
had been thinking about it for the past year with Marissa, but always
seemed to have something holding him back. This time nothing was
holding him back. He got in the car, and headed to the nearest jewelry
store. As he was driving, his phone rang, it was Seth.
"Hey man, what's up?" Ryan asked.
"Not much, I remember last time we talked about, you said you were
going to find out the results if the test, so you a lawyer or not?"
"Yup! I am!"
"Wow that is awesome! Are you going to dinner with Marissa or
something tonight."
"Nah, not tonight. But tomorrow night, I am taking her out to dinner.
I think I am going to ask her to marry me. You're the first person I
have told."
"Are you serious? Well I didn't see this coming. I know it make sense,
but . . . wow!"
"Yeah. I mean I have been thinking about for a while, before I always
had a reason not to, school, exams, but now, there is nothing holding
me back. I want to marry Marissa."
"That is great man, don't worry, I wont say a thing. Well I am coming
back Sunday night, so would you mind giving me a ride. I would ask
Summer, but I don't want to bother her."
"No problem at all. Well I have to go because I am getting into some
traffic, but give me a call Sunday morning, letting me know the time
and all."
"Alright, will do, talk to you later man."
They both hung up and Seth was about to call Summer but stopped
himself, and went into the other room to finish packing. Ryan pulled
up at the jewelry store to pick out a ring.
An hour later, Marissa was just about to leave work, getting all her
things together. Every weekend, she normally didn't have any work to
do, but it looked like Saturday afternoon she had to give an interview
with some girl who had just came from NYC and was now starting her own
clothing line, with the help of several other people. Marissa just
laughed to herself when she read the name, it was Summer she was going
to be interviewing! That would be no problem at all, she would just
have her over, talk about her new job then print up a story on it.
Marissa grabbed her stuff and let the office and headed down to her
BMW, as she pulled out her cell phone to call Summer.
Summer was finishing up things at work, when her cell phone rang, it
was coming from her bag. She fished it out and picked up, "Hello?"
"Hey Sum, it's me, Coop, what's up? I was just looking at my schedule
for the weekend and apparently I am interviewing you on Saturday
afternoon."
"You're the one interviewing me? Awesome! This is really my first one,
and I was a little nervous. Knowing it's you, makes me feel a little
better."
"I haven't seen you in a few weeks, I had been trying to help Ryan
study and stuff, it will be so nice to see you again."
"Yeah, it will be! Well I'll come by your place around noon tomorrow,
see you then!"
"Yeah see you then!"
Marissa headed home to the condo she shared with Ryan. They had moved
into together about a year ago, and she loved it. The condo wasn't all
that big, but great for two, and it was right near the beach, just
like her old home.
She had been hoping to get home before Ryan, so she could start on
dinner, but she noticed his car was all ready in the driveway. It
didn't really matter all that much.
As soon as she got in, she gave Ryan a kiss, they stayed that way for
about a minute, hugging, "Ryan, I am so proud of you."
"What are you doing tomorrow night?" Ryan asked her.
"Hanging with Sum in the afternoon, but at night, nothing."
"We're going out to dinner tomorrow night. I have something to tell, I
mean, ask you."
Marissa looks a little confused, "What is it?"
"I can't tell you, you'll just have to wait."
"Yeah, I guess I will!"
They kissed.
"Sorry to interrupt this, but I have to tell you something, Sunday I
am picking up Seth, and he might stay here for a few days."
"Oh cool! I haven't seen him in such a long time! It will be great to
see him!"
Marissa went to go cook dinner and Ryan went to shower, putting the
ring in his sock drawer, deep inside of it.
A/N: The next chapter will be pretty good! This chapter had a lot of
