"Don't be nervous." Dan tries to tell Marissa in a reassuring tone as he sees her glance out at the two boys standing outside what is her new home. "The dark-haired, skinny, pale one, is Seth" Dan tries to tell Marissa and is happy to hear her give a light hearted laugh at his description of Seth. "The blonde one is Ryan." Dan quickly mends, "He's Seth's best friend, they're nice boys.." he continues to say but fails to notice that Marissa has stopped listening.

"Wow, he's hot" she can't help but think to herself as she stared at the tall, built, soft blue-eyed boy. Oh how she just knew how easily she could get lost in the marvel that were his eyes. As she gave him the once over she couldn't help but notice he seemed to carry himself with confidence and his body looked like a wonderland. He wore dark blue jeans, and a wife beater with a open button up on top. She was so lost in her thoughts she never felt the car halt to a stop and she didn't even notice Dan get out either. That was until he opened her door for her and caught her attention.

"Come on" he tries to tell her reassuringly as he thinks the reason she wouldn't get out was because of fright and nerves. She gingerly steps out of the vehicle and as her legs finally hit the pavement below her she looks up only to look into the eyes of this blue-eyes boy.

-------------------

As he saw a pair of slender legs ease their way out of the car and onto the concrete Ryan let his eyes wonder upward towards the face belonging to the girl he already felt mesmerized by. As his breath hitched he took in the fragile looking girl before him. She was a slender girl, dressed in a simple pair of jeans, a turquoise long sleeve top, adorned by a simple pair of flip flops. Her dirty blonde locks flowed easily down her shoulders and back. She seemed sensitive though, almost unsure of herself, she looked a bit like a broken soul to him. As he lets his eyes travel up her luscious body he finally achieves a look at her angelic face. As their eyes meet he is overwhelmed by the beautiful blue-green eyes he looks into, he knows he can look so much deeper into them and get lost but as he studies them he can't help but feel and think they look a little broken, empty and hollow. But his thoughts are quickly discontinued as Dan's voice cut through is thoughts.

"Boys" Dan states happy to introduce them as he shuts the car door behind Marissa and beckons with his hand for the boys to come over.

As they approach and are now standing just a few feet apart Ryan can't help himself and decides to introduce himself even before Seth can get a word in. "Hi, I'm Ryan" he says smoothly as he offers a hand out for her to shake as he lets his confidence guide him. He grins at her but fails to notice Seth roll his as he has already noticed his friend's behavior.

Marissa shyly but still more than gladly takes his hand in hers and shakes it as she returns the pleasantries, "Marissa" she replies.

Seth suddenly decides to jerk Ryan a bit as he knocks his elbow into Ryan's, causing him to take a few steps in lost balance and takes the opportunity to introduce himself, "Hey" he says as he too reaches out his hand for her to shake, "Im Seth, and you should know I am a very important person, everyone should know me, I'm probably that most handsome and attractive guy you'll see around here but don't let my "player" like looks and behavior fool you. I apologize I already have a girlfriend and I..." Seth continues his light hearted ramble but is quickly cute off by Ryan and Marissa lets go of Seth's hand and cant help but let out a laugh at his jokeful introduction.

"Seth" Ryan says smugly, "She's like your sister" He states matter of factly as he laughs as everyone's faces quickly scrunch up in thought.

Suddenly Ryan is jerked from his smug state as he hears Marissa let out yet another laugh she had tried to muffle. He's instantly mesmerized by the endearing sound he hears her mouth let out and knows an instant smile is spread on his face when he hears it.

"Well if you boys are done "introducing" yourselves and being smart asses I'm sure you'll also be thrilled to help me unload and carry all of Marissa's stuff into the house." He quickly tells the boys, not even waiting for an answer as he has already begun walking towards the back of the SUV and opening the door to it.

Ryan quickly obliges as the whining of Set quickly rings through the air.

"But dad you know about my back." He says as he sees an instant eye roll come from both men. "And you know what?" He continues not even giving anyone that slight chance to respond, " I think its time Marissa learned about it too..." He continues his ramble as Ryan, Dan, and Marissa begin carrying boxes into the house.
