Chapter 3: "When darkness falls"
It was loud and raving. Holly always threw a big bash and tonight was
no exception. Ryan entered to find Marissa sitting on the counter
while her non-existan boyfriend drank beer and became non-coherant
and unresponsive towards her. She looked like she needed to be saved.
With a little wave and a slight smile, Ryan grabbed her attention. As
she walked over towards him, her smile brightened and she was
gorgeous.
"Hey, you guys made it. Glad you did," she smiled.
"Yeah, because this party looks like a hoot,"Seth commented as he
walked away and outside on to the patio.
"He's not much of a pary-type of guy." Ryan said pointing over to
Seth.
"Are you?,"she said teasingly. " I mean why else would you want to
come, other than to have fun right?."
He looked at her knowing what his answer was, but hesitant to say he
came because she wanted him to, and because he wanted to see her.
That's the only reason Seth talked him into coming to one of "their"
parties.
"Ya, well these type of parties aren't really my thing. I don't fit
so well with a bunch of rich kids." It might have come off a little
harsh but Ryan knew it was true, and he didn't want to lie to her.
As they moved over to the couch they sat down and envoloped
themselves in a conversation. He let her do most of the talking and
answered her quesitons when asked with either a yup or nah most of
the time.

"Hey, hey Summer. How are you?" he approched her as she stood there
in the moonlight.
"Fine." she looked away from him rolling her eyes. Some of her
friends giggled, knowing that she was annoyed.
"Soooo, you look really....nice.....to..night," nevously he stepped
closer.
She turned around,"Thanks, um get me drink?"
"Sure, ya, no problem what do you want?" he said exictedly.
She smiled at him, "How about....for you to get a clue." She walked
away laughing with her friends. Even though she was cruel, Seth still
was infatuated with her.
************************************************************
As the night progressed so did the annoying habbits of everyone
around them. Ryan was there talking to Marissa and he enjoyed it. He
just didn't like the surroundings. He was uncomfrotalbe and he just
didn't like being there at all. In fact he was two seconds away from
leaving. As he stood up, so did she. "I just don't think it's my
place to be here. I'm going to look for Seth and head out," as he
turned to look for Seth, Marissa grabbed his arm and slid her hand
softly down as if she was caressing it. He seemed a little nervous by
her act but it felt good to have her hand against his skin. "Don't
go. I mean...Stay.....for me," her words were sincere and more than
anything he wanted to stay with her, but this scene wasn't for him.
scene wasn't for him.
"I'm sorry. I have to go," and with that he walked away from her.
Seth was already waiting for him outside.
"Man this party blowed, although the surrounding hotties were a nice
touch,"Seth rambled. In fact he rambled all the way home. Ryan didn't
even speak. He was still back in that place thinking of her.
