"I'm so glad you guys all came" Marissa said as she sat in a booth at the diner her, Ryan, Seth, and Summer always go to.
"No problem Rissa, anything for you" Ryan exclaimed will leaning over to kiss Marissa. Ryan and Marissa were dating, and have been for about two years.
"Yea, so what's this about?" Summer asked gripping Seth's hand, almost cutting off his circulation. Seth and Summer were also dating.
"Well" Marissa suggested, "I was thinking this year we spent Christmas somewhere else, not Orange County."
"Totally, I think we've all been dying to go away, far away, for Christmas" Seth replied.
"Yea, away from all of this Orange County drama" Summer said, thinking of all of the drama that she was dying to get away from.
"What do you think Ryan?" Marissa asked.
"I'm in."
"Great" Marissa said, "So where do we want to go?"
"Somewhere warmer then here" Seth said, "defiantly."
"Florida?" Ryan suggested.
"I said warmer then here Harvard graduate," Seth said back, laughing.
"Real quick with the insults aren't we?" Ryan mimicked under his breath, "Harvard graduate."
"You guys stop and decide a place" Summer said stopping Ryan and Seth.
"Warm."
"Tropical."
"Drama free."
"Fun."
"JAMACIA!" everybody said in unison.
"This is just the place I was dreaming of going" Marissa said.
"Warm, tropical, drama free, and fun" Ryan repeated.
"And most importantly" Summer said, "Far away from Orange County."
"Yea" Seth said, "That's the life."
"Oh Seth don't forget!" Summer said with a smile.
"What?" Seth replied thinking as hard as he could. Everyone always wondered how Seth had graduated from Harvard, but he did. Summer was especially proud of him because then she proved to her parents she was dating a nice, funny, and smart boy. For Summer's parents, being smart was number one on the list.
" You'll be away from Taylor" Summer said, now giving Seth a toothy grin.
"Of course" Seth said, also smiling, "how could I forget?"
Taylor was the girl who liked Seth, and you could tell Seth liked her just the slightest bit. Taylor was, indeed, a perfectionist. When she didn't get her way, she would find a way to get it. It didn't matter if it hurt someone or even killed someone she would do it, just so she could shine. Taylor, however, had no friends. Except for Seth and Summer. But Summer was defiantly not Taylor's friend. Taylor always thinks people are her friends when really, they aren't.
"I don't now how you could but thank god a Christmas without the Grinch" Summer said, laughing.
"Can I get you guys anything?" the waitress asked.
"Four milkshakes and some fries" Ryan said, ordering the usual for everyone.
"Ok I'll be right back," the waitress said as she walked away.
"Come on Ryan" Marissa said, "You know I'm on a diet."
"Don't worry, be happy" Ryan said in his Jamaican accent, laughing the whole time.
"Ryan, you know that was an African accent right?" Seth asked.
"Are you sure you graduated from Harvard?" Ryan asked bringing back the whole Harvard thing.
"Funny, funny" Seth said, not laughing.
"You guys shut up and help me a Rissa plan the trip" Summer said in her serious voice.
"Fine" Seth replied, "So, when do we leave?"
"Here you go" the waitress said setting down the food, "four milkshakes and some fries."
"Thanks" everyone said, again, in unison. Everyone started slurping and chewing away.
"Sofff, agaifnn, fhenn doooff weef leavfffe?" Seth asked, again, with a mouthful of fries in his mouth.
Summer, used to Seth's horrible manners said, "the Sunday before Christmas, and we stay for three weeks."
"Sounds good" Ryan said, speaking for himself and Seth, who was now sticking two fries up his nose.
"Oh my gosh Seth!" Summer said, "Stop it, that's nasty!"
Everybody, except Summer, was laughing. You could tell Summer was embarrassed for her boyfriend's actions. Seth said he was sorry and kissed Summer, and they didn't stop.
"Ok you guys" Marissa said nicely looking around.
"Get a room" Ryan yelled.
Again, everyone laughed. Finally, they stopped kissing.
"Sorry you guys he's just so charming and hot and hot…" Summer said drifting away, thinking about only God knows what.
"Eww, ok Summer we don't wanna hear about your weird, sicko, attractions to Seth" Marissa said, "I'm not done eating."
" I'll here about them later Summer, we better get going" Seth suggested.
" Yeah, sounds good" Ryan said.
They all walked out of the diner. As usual they all took the same car, seeing as Seth and Ryan live in the same house. And, Marissa was still staying at Summer's. This stay was supposed to be temporary but it had seemed like forever to Marissa, and Summer.
