As Ashley and Cassandra walk down the hall they noticed a lot of people staring at them. They were new at this school. They had just moved from Canada because their dads were ported here as people in the navy were always moved around. Ashley's shoelace was untied and she tripped over it and her bag went flying across the hall. As Cassandra ran down the hall to get what she had dropped Seth came over and helped Ashley up. Ashley clambered up to her feet and thanked Seth with a sheepish smile on her face. Seth then asked to walk her to her class. When Cassandra came back with Ashley's things Ryan was walking with Seth and smiled a hello. Cassandra and him began to talk and got deeply into a conversation about their pasts, As Ashley and Seth begin a conversation. As School was ending the girls met Ryan and Seth outside. They had really hit it off together and were going out to a soda. Marissa and Summer were outside the school as they saw the four of them walk off and Marissa started to cry right away. She was still in hysterics that her and Ryan were really over. She was sorry for not believing Ryan and now she was paying for it. Big time. Summer was surprised just yesterday her and Seth were together ... having fun *wink wink* and now he was with another girl. What did she do wrong?
As they were walking to the soda shop they got lots of stares but they just ignored them. Seth and Ryan went and got the sodas. When they came back They were holding the tray together but as they were laying it down it spilt all over Ashley and Cassandra. The girls jumped up as the glasses of soda's splashed all over them. "Sorry" Ryan and Seth said almost in unison. Feeling wet and surprised they decided it was time they went home. The guys walked the girls home wondering if they were mad or not. It didn't seem like it because they were laughing about it on the walk home. As they walked by a house Ryan noticed Oliver staring out the window to a house. 'I thought he was in the hospital until he was better' thought Ryan as he walked by then saying good bye to the girls as they walked into there houses next door to each other Ryan and Seth left.
As soon as Ashley and Cassandra went into there designated houses they called each other right away. For 3 hours they talked about there day and there new crushes on the hot guys they met their first day. They were so excited to see them the next morning.
Ryan was in the pool house when Seth came in. "Hey Ryan. Guess what?" he asked with a high pitch in his voice." What" Ryan said looking at Seth as if he were an alien. "I have another crush" "so there's Anna, Summer and who?" Ryan asked. "No Anna , No Summer just Ashley." He smiled at that last comment." so your ditching the person u lost your virginity to for another girl?""Yup." "you want to call them up?" Ryan commented and they went to the house to grab the phones.
When Ashley was talking to Cassandra her doorbell rang. She ran to the door after telling Ashley that she will be right back. A guy named Oliver was at the door and introducing himself. Cassandra introduced herself and was surprised to find that Oliver was a "friend" of Ryan's and Seth's. So Cassandra went back upstairs and got Ashley to come over and meet someone. So Ashley rushed over and met Oliver. He was really nice and seemed to like Cassandra. Cassandra didn't mind at all because it was only a crush.
As Ashley Cassandra and Oliver talked away in Cassandra's living room The phone rang Cassandra went to answer it and found it to be Ryan and Seth. She told them that she met their new friend Oliver. As they were hearing this Oliver was coming out of the shadows and Ryan was telling her to stay put he would be right over. Cassandra didn't see what his alarm was until she felt a hand on her shoulder.
