Summary: Ryan and Marissa are in the same year at Harbor but have never talked. Marissa has always had a crush on him and when she finally gets her chance with him will she change her mind?
I have like a hundred other stories to update but this idea popped into my head while I was listening to a song on my ipod D
"Ryan? Excuse me Mr Atwood? Are you paying even attention to my class?" The history teacher Mrs Anderson asked Ryan Atwood.
"Not exactly" Ryan answered smirking smugly.
"Well, Mr Atwood if you had of been listening you would have been aware of the fact that you and Miss Cooper have a history assignment together that is due in two weeks" Mrs Anderson said frowning at him.
Ryan shrugged and looked at Marissa Cooper, she was a smart, classy girl that got straight A's in everything she did. You couldnt exactly call her a geek but if she wasnt as pretty, she'd be very close to being one.
She smiled nervously at Ryan and then whispered something excitedly to her friend Taylor.
The bell rang and everyone went to lunch.
Ryan walked out and Marissa followed him eagerly.
"Hi Ryan" Marissa said happily.
"Hi" Ryan said fustrated.
"Where are you going? The back of the school is out of bounds" Marissa said as she went out back with Ryan.
"You gonna rat me out?" Ryan said lighting a cigarette.
"No, of course not" Marissa said.
"Good" Ryan said vaugely.
Marissa got out a spiral notebook and a pen.
"What the fuck's this?" Ryan said looking at the pink girly notebook that Marissa was handing to him.
"Write down your number so I can call you and arrange a time to study" Marissa said smiling.
"Ahhh" Ryan said writing down his cell phone number on the paper.
Marissa took the notebook from him and put it in her school bag.
Ryan finished his smoke and started walking away. Marissa continued to follow him.
Ryan turned around suddenly. "Isn't there someplace you need to be?" Ryan asked.
"Uhhh, yeah, um i'll call you or something..." Marissa said trying not to cry in front of him.
Ryan sighed with relief and went to meet his friends for lunch.

After school Marissa went down to the diner with her mom.
"Sweetie, how was school today" Julie asked.
"Good I guess" Marissa answered her mother.
Julie nodded.
"I have this assignment thing with Ryan Atwood" Marissa said.
"Ryan Atwood?" Julie asked. "Well that should go well" Julie continued.
"I'm sure he isnt too bad" Marissa said sticking up for Ryan.
"I've heard enough about that boy, i don't need to hear more" Julie said flicking her hair.
Marissa looked down at her menu and was startled by her moms phone ringing.
"This is Julie Cooper...im with my daughter...yeah ok...i'll see you soon" Julie said.
"Sorry honey it's business, can we take a rain check?" Julie asked.
"Yeah sure, Im going for a walk" Marissa said leaving her meal behind.
She walked home and called Ryan.
"Who the fuck is this?" A disorientated Ryan answered.
"It's Marissa Cooper from school" Marissa said, she heard a girls voice on the other line saying something along the lines of "Ryan whose that.." and then a "Come back to bed..."
"Bad time?" Marissa asked.
"Something like that, so whats up?" Ryan asked.
"I was wondering if you wanted to get together tomorrow for that history thing" Marissa asked hopeful.
"Uhhhh, sure. your place or mine?" Ryan asked.
"Yours, what time?" Marissa asked getting excited.
"Say around two thirty" Ryan said.
"Sounds..." Marissa said. Ryan cut her off by hanging up. "..Good.." Marissa said to the dead end.
