So you guys are probably wondering where I have been hiding for about two years. I recently remembered this story. And am ready to begin and hopefully be on track. I hope you guys still read this :) It's summertime which equals plenty of time to write 3 So here's the recap: Lucas has met both Summer and Marisa. Haley is not too thrilled about this whole Newport thing. Nathan and Summer have been hanging out. Now it's time for some Cohen,, , kid Chino, and the rest of the gang. Here's the second chapter, enjoy!:
Peyton glanced at her reflection in the mirror for a moment as she looked around at her new home and her new surroundings. She couldn't believe her dad had just let her go with Brooke, her best friend in an instant. Wasn't he going to miss her? Wasn't he going to regret it? What if he never called? What if he never came to Newport? What if...and the list could go on for days. It wasn't like Peyton had the best relationship with her father. She was just you know worried about him living alone and being without his only daughter. Peyton had vowed to herself that she would call him everyday. She had to, or she would worry.
As for Brooke, she was ready to have the time of her life in California. She had met some very hot guys a few summers back and was hoping for a well - fling. Brooke wasn't the type to get attached to anyone. She wasn't attached to her family what so ever. Brooke's mother found it flattering that Brooke was finally moving to California. Brooke scanned her new home. It was furnished with different shades of white and grey all around. It was her dream home. Luxurious, massive and beautiful. It was a major plus that this house was only walking distance to the beach as well. This felt like a vacation to Brooke, but once school would start off it definately wouldn't.
", isn't this place wonderful or what?" Brooke asked her best friend. She was so happy to be sharing this home with Peyton. They had been friends for years, so she knew they would manage together.
"It's great Brooke. I'm just gonna miss Tree Hill for awhile," Peyton commented as she glared at the beach outside of her window.
"Hellooo? We've got the beach, the best house ever and hopefully some new boys. What more could you ask for?" Brooke questioned.
"Well, Brooke maybe family rings a bell. Seeing as I left them for here," Peyton proclaimed.
"Don't worry about it, P you're dad is gonna be fine trust me," Brooke said with a smile.
"Let's hope so," Peyton said.
"I know something that'll cheer you up! One of my 'friends' from two summers ago, Luke texted me about this rager tonight," Brooke said, hoping to lighten the mood.
"By "friends" do you mean hook-up friend?" she asked.
"I don't kiss and tell sweetie," Brooke said with a wink.
"Haha, very funny Brooke. Let me text Nathan and see if he wants to come," she said. Peyton and Nathan didn't have the best relationship in the world - but it was a big step for them to both be moving, it was a big test, actually.
"Who cares about him? Come on you gotta be independent, girly," Brooke said.
Peyton sent the message anyway saying: "Newport party tonight - Fashion Island. Come with me?" Peyton had told him she was coming in tomorrow, and trusted that Nathan would be happy to hear and read she was officially in the OC.
"Independent definately!" she smiled, high-fiving Brooke.
Ryan Atwood stared out into the California sun as he tied his tie for the Fashion Island benefit. The only thing he cared about was the after-party, which Marisa had already invited him to. It was already a week of his first stay with the Cohens and Ryan was fitting in rather nicely. He had a few more social skills then his newfound friend-slash-brother-slash-whatever you wanted to call it, Seth. Mr. Cohen kept on commenting about how exciting it was to see Seth actually wanting to go to one of these things. Normally, Ryan wouldn't but the girls in Newport were just too pretty to say no to so he couldn't resist their impeechable charm. Especially that of - Marissa Cooper.
"You ready man?" Seth said as he slyly walked into Ryan's poolhouse.
"Yeah man, what about yourself?" Ryan asked. Ryan always had a suttle way of saying things, playing it off like it was no big deal.
"I guess so. You know, I'm actually a little stoked to be going to these things," he said, cheerfully.
"Just don't get your hopes up man," Ryan said.
"Hopes? What do you mean by that?" Seth asked in curiosity.
"Summer as in hopes. Just because she's gonna see you at this benefit and party does not mean you need to make a move or whatever you call it," Ryan said with a smirk.
"You know, I wasn't planning on it. Because I am Seth Cohen," Seth said, a little disappointed because even Ryan knew his master plan.
"Of course you are," Ryan said, joking agreeing with Seth.
"And what about you Mr. Seth-Don't-Get-Up-Your-Hopes? May I hint that the only reason we are getting remotely close to this party and benefit is because of a girl named Marissa Cooper?" Seth questioned, instantly turning the tables on Ryan.
Ryan just stood their in silence, not really knowing what to see - after all, it was true.
"Haha. No sly answer from you this time buddy. It's alright man, we've all got our weak points," Seth whisphered.
"Alright, so are you ready to head out the door before we start discussing everyone in Newport?" Ryan asked, Seth was most definately a talker which was something Ryan was slowly getting used to.
"I guess so man," Seth said, as he opened the door and Ryan followed.
Summer walked backstage at the Fashion Island event studios completely on cloud nine. She had just spent the best day in awhile with the hottest guy ever - Nathan. Sure Oahu was amazing with her bestie Marissa. But meeting Nathan and hanging out with him partically all day took the cake. They instantly connecting which Summer felt a little strange but very wonderful about them. She just didn't want to mess this chance up - she had plenty of times with guys. As Summer put on her very first dress for the fashion show Marissa approached her.
"Why are you smiling so much?" Marissa asked.
"What do you mean? I'm usually a happy person girly, and you know that," Summer replied.
"Mmhm whatever you say. As long as it doesn't have anything to do with tall, dark and handsome boy you met at the airport," Marissa said as she pulled up her hair in a bun.
"His name is Nathan," Summer said, "And he's pretty amazing."
"Amazing. That's a word I keep on hearing from you about every fucking guy you meet Summer," Marissa said, she was a little ticked off at Luke for not replying to her texts this afternoon, and was getting very suspicous. And she was tired of her best friend meeting a guy and being on cloud nine twenty-four seven.
"Marissa, get over yourself. Just because I met a cute guy you can't be happy for me?" Summer fired back.
"No that's not why. Sum, you fall way too easily for guys. Haven't you thought about you know, taking your time?" Marissa asked.
"Forget it. Because this definately isn't about me at all, Marissa, you know that," she said.
"It IS about you Summer! You're gonna get your heart broken," Marissa told Summer.
"Just like you're about to right?" Summer asked.
"What do you mean?" Marissa asked.
"This is completely about Luke, you know your boyfriend, and guess whose back?" Summer said, hoping Marissa would just chill out on her.
"Who?" she asked in curiosity, she knew this wasn't going to be good regardless.
"That slutty brunette Luke hooked up with a couple summers ago. And I think she wants more than a hook-up this time," Summer said.
"You mean Brooke? Great, just when my relationship was going wonderfully someone always has to mess it up," Marissa said, near tears.
"Honey, it'll be alright. You just need to always be there for your boyfriend. And not let Brooky slutty get in your way," she said, encouraging her friend.
"You're right, Summer. Me and Luke have been through so much I really can't let one girl mess it up just like that," Marissa said, claming herself down.
"I hope so, and you know I'll always be there for you," Summer said. "But for now, I gotta go to make-up. I'll see ya girly!" she said, as she walked away.
Haley smiled as she saw the sunset as she drove her new white convertible BMW. The good thing about her parents living overseas was that everything was less expensive, and they could afford luxuries, such as cars and what not. But Haley would rather be overseas with her parents instead of in her car going to a party with her friend, Lucas. Haley had never really been into the whole social scene. It just didn't strike her as captivating what so ever. She was certain that these west coast kids would be even more into parties, therefore Haley had mentally prepared herself.
"Hales, are you alright?" Lucas asked.
"Yeah I'm good. Just a little off-guard. I mean the 1st night we move and we're already going to party," she said.
"Yeah, I know this is a little weird for you, seeing as we never did anything in Tree Hill," Lucas commented.
"A little? It's completely weird. Like I expected to just go check out the beach tonight then go to sleep in my new bed. But no, you wanted to go to this party just because two skanks from the airport invited you," Haley said, in a bitter tone.
"They aren't skanks," Lucas said.
"How do you know? You only spent five minutes with them and they instantly invited you to this party," she said.
"So maybe they are just friendly you know?" he said.
"Friendly slutty," Haley said with a giggle. Recalling the time at tree hill when they gave each other labels and "friendly" meant slutty.
"Just be chill alright, and stay with me," Lucas advised his friend.
"I wasn't planning on going anywhere else. Seeing as I don't know anyone," Haley said with a smile.
Lucas and Haley then pulled up on a beautiful beach house that was nothing like they had never seen before. The house music was already on and it was only 7 PM but it seemed like the party they were about to head to was going to be something they had never experienced before.
"Yeah definately not what I expected," Lucas said enthralled with the massive home.
Haley nodded as she followed Lucas into the home.
Meanwhile, the Fashion Show Benefit at Fashion Island just ended. And it was a wild time. Brooke and Peyton knew they were already going to have some fierce competition in Newport, but they didn't expect it to be that fierce. Brooke was sitting by none other than - Luke.
"So pretty thing did you like the show?" Luke asked.
"I did. Fashion is amazing. I don't supposed you were as enthralled as I was," Brooke said.
"Not really, I was enthralled by something else," he said, clearly referring to Brooke.
"Oh were you?" Brooke said very flirtatously. This is just how she pictured her reunion with Luke.
"I really was. Do you wanna go some place more private and discuss this something else?" Luke said with a wink.
"I can't decline that offer. , you'll be alright right?" Brooke asked only being considerate.
"Of course," Peyton said fakely as Brooke and Luke walked away.
Peyton suttlely rolled her eyes as she watched this "dawg" flirt with Brooke as she awkwardly sat there.
At the same table was Ryan and Seth. Ryan wasn't too thrilled with his table. He didn't really care for Luke. Luke treated Marissa like shit and Ryan knew that Luke probably felt threatend by him. That's always how Ryan was - tough exterior and tough interior. Ryan was over this whole rich kid scene. However he was surprised he hadn't seen the brunette and curly haired blonde yet. The brunette was acting like she had known Luke for forever. As the blonde just sat there and sulked. Seth was getting their car, so they could be the 1st ones to the bash. Ryan decided to approach the blonde because she looked like she was in the same mood as him - bored.
"Hi," Ryan said quietly. Peyton was a good two empty seats away from him.
"Hey there," she replied in a mysterious tone.
"I'm Ryan and you are?" he asked.
"Peyton," Peyton said, she didn't wanna talk to anyone she was still in the ohwhyme mood.
"Are you new here?" Ryan questioned, he was new here as well but he had never seen her face before.
"If you wanna call it that. I was born seventeen years ago," Peyton replied sharply.
"Same here. I am too. This place is wild right?" Ryan asked, trying to brew up a conversation.
"I guess. I've only been here for a day so, I can't really judge," she said.
"Well you can find out for yourself - tonight if you'd like that is," Ryan offered.
"The party yeah I know. At the fancy beach house. I'm going. I'm assuming you are too?" Peyton asked only in curiosity.
"I think so. This whole party thing is a little bizaare to me. Where I'm from it's all about drinking and drag-racing," Ryan told Peyton.
"Interesting. Well I'll see ya there, just as long as I don't have to race you there. Nice meeting you Ryan!" Peyton said cheerfully.
"Yeah you too," he said as Peyton walked away. Ryan enjoyed mysteries no matter what and Peyton was definately a mystery.
Nathan pulled up to Candace's beach house. He had already prepared himself to see Peyton and Summer at the same place. This was going to be a mess because Summer was clearly into Nathan and Nathan hadn't mentioned to her about the whole Peyton thing. To Nathan, him and Peyton were temporary twenty-four seven. Peyton would call him her boyfriend all Nathan would do is nod, and think dang she's way too into me. Him and Peyton were just too complicated. Summer had that fresh and exciting feel about her, something Nathan had never seen in a girl until he met Summer today. Nathan pulled up his range rover beside another range rover. He saw a dark haired curly headed guy get out of the car with a strawberry blonde kid as well. The strawberry blonde kid was carrying a twenty-four pack of beer and Nathan was going to ask him for a drink.
"Dude, how did you score that twenty four pack?" Seth asked. Seth had never drank, but tonight he definately was.
"Hello Seth my name is Shawn Ellis," Ryan said as he flashed his fake ID at Seth.
"Fake ID? Really? That's freaking awesome!" Seth cheered.
"Chill out Seth. It's not like you've never seen one before," Ryan said, sometimes Seth could just get a little too excited about the little things in life.
"Alright. I'll chill just as long as I get one in the near future," he proposed.
"Definately man," Ryan said with a smirk.
"Hey can I have one?" Nathan said trotting behind Seth and Ryan.
"Sure man," Ryan said, opening the package of beer and giving one to Nathan.
"Thanks," Nathan said, walking away.
"What you're gonna give a stranger a beer and not ask for his name?" Seth asked.
"Yeah," Ryan replied.
"But what if he's a cop?" Seth questioned.
"Didn't appear that way to me," he said.
"Hey man, I'm Seth!" Seth shouted to Nathan.
Nathan decided to do a little socializing before he went in. He didn't wanna be labeled as random dude. "Nathan. Just moved here from North Carolina," he said with a smile.
"North Carolina huh?" Ryan asked, he had moved all over the United States, so there was nothing "fresh" about North Carolina.
"Yeah man, pretty good place but the chicks are hotter here," Nathan said smirking.
"I agree man. Nothing like those Cali ladies right?" Seth said, jumping into the conversation.
"Sure whatever. I'll see you guys around," Nathan said with a nod as he walked into the house.
Haley and Lucas were sitting on the leather tan couch as Nathan walked in. Haley had already met Candace, the hostess of the party, who seemed like a sensible girl. Too bad she was stupid enough to host a party. Lucas was looking around for Marissa and Summer or the barbie skanks as Haley called them.
"What is he doing here?" Lucas asked Haley.
"I have no clue. Maybe someone invited him," Haley said, knowing Lucas was frustrated.
"Yeah maybe, I think I'm gonna head outside," Lucas said.
"You mean to the beach?" Haley asked.
"Yeah you wanna come?" Lucas asked.
"Nah, I think I'll just stay here and you know observe," she said.
"Whatever floats your boat, Hales," Lucas said with a smile.
I know this chapter was a little long, but I have to say I kind of like where I'm taking this story. There are sooo many couple possibilites. And I feel like this story feels really fresh now that I've written a new chapter two years later, LOL. Next episode we'll see what happens when Peyton and Summer meet, and expect some MAJOR couples drama. However, I need FIVE REVIEWS FOR CHAPTER THREE 3 Also, I'm gonna start writing a 90210 fan fiction as well 3
