Chapter 3:
DING DING DING
The bell for first period went as Marissa and Summer scrambled to their lockers so they wouldn't be late for their first classes. Marissa had Trig and was dreading it since this morning, remembering she sits with Ryan.
"Coop, meet me back here for lunch, okay?"
"Yeah..sure"
Marissa ran into Math class just in time before the second bell went.
"Marissa, please take your seat, were starting class"
"Oh right, sorry"
Marissa walked to the back of the class spotting Ryan out of the corner of her eyes. "God how much I miss being with him" she thought to herself.
Placing her books down on her desk, she sat down.
"Hey" Ryan said
Marissa hesitated at first, the only thing she could push out of her mouth was a slight friendly: "Hey......"
Marissa turned her head towards the class trying to at least focus on the teacher. She was falling way behind. There would be no more fooling around and flirting at the back of Room 201 with Ryan anymore.
Math slowly went by, and Marissa felt quite proud taking lots of notes on what she had missed, and realized she hadn't looked at Ryan all class since she said hey to him at the beginning. She silently congratulated herself. Maybe this wouldn't be so hard!
The bell rang, and students flung out the doors.
Gathering her things, she just had to glance at Ryan's gorgeous face. He just sat there waiting for her, it seemed.
"Look Ryan, I'm sorry for the other night. I guess I got a little overwhelmed"
Ryan kept to himself, remembering the Ferris wheel and card he had opened the night before.
"Marissa..." he said in an oddly serious voice.
"Yeah, what is it Ryan?"
"I...I...I want to have lunch today, will you meet me out front?"
"Oh god" Marissa said to herself. Ryan gave her a look.
"Look, you don't have to" Ryan said.
"Was he gonna break my heart even more? No he's not that horrible of a person. I should go just incase" she thought. "Oh...No... I just thought I forgot my Western Civ book, but its in my locker... Sure ... Umm...Yeah, see ya later" she said.

"COOP!!" Summer yelled down the busy halls.
Oh shit! She though to her self, I promised Summer I'd have lunch with her today.
"Hey" Marissa said as she turned to face Summer, shocked to see the 3 guys standing beside her.
"Come on, let's go out back for lunch"
"Oh...Well...but Summer..." as she was cut off by Summers yapping, trying to get her to talk to this guy Marc, I mean after all this was the plan wasn't it?
Marissa never got the chance to tell Summer she was going to meet Ryan. Just as the 5 of them walked through the doors that led to the back, Ryan walked through looking for her. Summer stopped in her path, holding her hands on her hip in that summery way. She was at the head of the group, in front of Marc and his friends, and Marissa.
"Ryan" Summer spoke in a not so pleasant voice.
"Marissa, you ready to have lunch?"
"Sorry Ryan, but Marissa is having lunch with Marc today", Summer announced.
"Since when does Summer speak for me?" Marissa thought. But wait, the plan, to get Ryan to want me! It would only work if she went along, so she kept quit.
Ryan looked deep into Marissa's glassy eyes, and he could see that she was not going to be with him today.
Marissa wanted to shout out! YES RYAN WAITT! But that is groveling, it would be too easy for him.
"Oh, sorry Ryan, I forgot. I already made plans. Come on Marc!" she chirped as she skipped through the door, shutting it right in Ryan's face.

"Ryan, buddy, come sit with ye old Seth" Seth said as he saw Ryan wandering for somewhere to sit.
Ryan sat without saying a word.
The two ate lunch, only a few words being spoken, mostly from Seth. Ryan just nodded his head to yes and no questions. He couldn't get his mind of it. He had to tell Marissa how he couldn't live without her. He missed the smell of her hair in his face when he woke up in the pool house, spooning up against her; he missed the morning pecks on his cheeks, and most of all he missed how happy Marissa made him feel, just from her smile. She was the most gorgeous girl he had ever known, and he loved her. He knew that now.
"Soo...are we play stationing it tonight?"
Ryan opened his mouth but closed it again, seeing Marissa far ahead at a table with Marc. Marc was laughing hysterically and grasping her arm every time he made one of his jokes. He saw Marissa laugh and playfully touch Marc, like she used to do with him. God, why does this have to happen again? First Oliver, and now this.
Marissa turned to Summer. "Is he looking?"
"Oooooh yes and he's hating it. Touch him Coop!! Go for it!"
Marc told a not so funny joke, but Marissa laughed. She playfully touched his chest. "It's not as nice as Ryan's..." she thought. But she had to do it. Marissa was not going to give up that soon, no matter how much she wanted Marc to be Ryan.
