Complications

Summary: What has Seth done? A new mystery girl at school throws Seth's life into disarray.

"What am I doing?" There must be something wrong in my inexplicably small brain for me to even be attempting this!"

Seth was sitting by a pool with the sun glistening overhead watching a beautiful women dive perfectly into the clear blue water.

"Hey man, You ok?" Ryan sat up looking puzzled at Seth's mysterious and pensive look. When Seth didn't even look in his direction he followed Seth's eyes to fall on the beautiful mystery woman. "Ah! I might have known! He's a geek, but still gets the women!"

Seth and Ryan were on holiday together after a disastrous term at school. Sandy had paid for them not to be in OC after New Year, they had caused that much havoc at home. Seth and Anna had gotten together then had quickly split as Summer had gotten involved, a massive fight had taken place, including a cat-fight between the two girls on Sandy's doorstep which he had to physically break up, Ryan and Marrissa had had a massive fight as well and Ryan behaviour was going back down hill rapidly and Sandy just wanted the two boys out of the county to somewhere they couldn't cause trouble, but as per Seth, here he was in Hawaii and getting involved with a mystery woman.

Izzy pulled herself out of the water and headed towards her towel. "I wonder what I've been doing to make the cutie over there watch me so intensely? Oh well, maybe he's about later and I'll find out!"

Later that evening

"Will you hurry up, your geeky ass does not need any more preening! Its not as if we are going to meet anyone...we are only going out for a look about town...aren't we?" Ryan questioned Seth as he struggled to take less than an hour to get ready. In his typically Seth Hawaiian shirt and black slacks he was now trying to do something with his unruly mop and even talking to it, his normal approach, was not working.

"Oh okay, I give up with my badly behaved, frustratingly geeky hair. Do you think I should shave it all off, it might look less geeky then?!"

"Seth will you just get out the door? Your vain, but humorous attitude is not endearing at the moment, thank you!"

"Someone has lost all concept of humour again, you know Ryan...."

Seth never got to finish his sentence as Ryan physically pushed him out the Villa door.

The boys had been wandering around looking at the stalls of the night market wondering and discussing what gifts they should take home and for whom. As per usual Seth was stuck between Anna and Summer, as he didn't actually know where he stood with either of them.

"personally I think getting two gifts the same is ideal...they aren't gonna.....sorry didn't mean to bump you there!" Seth grew red as he discovered who it was he had just backed into. "That's okay, but you are in my way to get to the stall." Izzy replied looking at Seth thinking to herself. "Maybe coming down here was a good idea after all, this is one lush looking geek, and he blushes!" she grinned to herself "Are you grinning wildly at anything in particular?" Seth thought why not try his luck? The worst she could do was turn him down and lets face it Seth Cohen was used to that!

Ryan simply rolled his eyes and moved onto the next stall, leaving Seth to it. The boy always landed on his feet. Ryan became more engrosed in trying to find an amazing gift for Marissa not ony say sorry, but also to say I Love You.
