Seth Cohen couldn't believe it. His father had brought a criminal into their own home. At first he had thought that Ryan was a little kid, but now he couldn't believe that Ryan was sixteen, stole a car, and was now staying in their pool house.

Shit, no dad knows that I don't get along with people my age. What the fuck was he thinking? Oh shit. How should I talk to him? Should I just play it cool, and act like dad does this all the time? Oh no . . . what if he's like the water polo players? Shut up stupid brain.

Seth spent the next hours contemplating what he should say to Ryan in the morning. Maybe he could avoid Ryan all together, if he got up early, Ryan might be the kind of person to sleep in in the morning, so maybe he could go sailing or something.

Eventually Seth dragged himself downstairs, and he started looking around, not sure what to expect. Eventually he found himself in front of the tv playing grand theft auto.

Ryan woke up peacefully for once, that was until he remembered what happened, and where he was. He got up quickly to see what time it was, and if they were all waiting for him to get up. He didn't see anyone, so he walked outside, and looked at the pool, he didn't know how to swim, but it always looked like fun. His thoughts were interrupted by the sound of video games being played. He looked in the house and saw the back of a boy playing grand theft auto.

He didn't know who the boy was so he just cleared his throat. "Shit!" The boy jumped and once he stood up Ryan could tell that he was about the same age as him. "You scared the crap outta me."

Ryan nodded and spoke "I'm Ryan, I didn't know if your dad told you about me or not."

"Yea, you know at first I thought that you were like a little kid and that, but now I can clearly see that you aren't, and that's cool, we can do the whole male bonding thing, ya know and maybe you can teach me stuff..." the boy continued to talk like that for a couple of minutes before inhaling and saying "Oh, by the way, My name's Seth."

By that point Ryan had been off in his own world, until there was silence, which drew him out of his thoughts "Sorry, what?"

"I said my name's Seth"

Ryan nodded and didn't speak. Unsurprisingly it was Seth that broke the silence "wow, it's like ten now, you must be starving... what kind of cereal would you like to eat?"

Ryan shrugged, and followed Seth into the kitchen, glad that the awkward silence was over. Seth continued talking, using his hands to animate what he was saying. He seemed very uncomfortable, and nervous, so after Ryan had a bowl of cereal and a cup of coffee, he excused himself and walked outside next to the pool house. He pulled out a joint, and smoked it quickly. Soon he was walking back to the kitchen way more relaxed than before. As he entered the kitchen Kirsten walked in and asked "Is that pot?" after sniffing the air.
