Ryan walked out of first period right as the bell rang. He was going to meet Marissa at her locker and wanted to get there right away. He got his books for World lit. and headed off. He spotted Marissa opening her locker.

"Hey."

"Hey." She said sounding very upbeat.

"Why are you so happy?" He asked.

Marissa smiled. "Oh…just happy I get to spend a whole 40 minutes in next period with you."

"Gotcha. Me too. Seth said there's a ton of homework. Oh, and guess who's in our class now?" Ryan asked.

"Um…oh that new guy Ben?" She said smiling.

Ryan smiled too. "Yeah. So you wanna go?"

"Ok." Marissa said. "But not before I do this…"

Marissa gave him a huge kiss. He loved it when he kissed him like that. It was so powerful, like she needed him.

Just as they sat down together, Ben came up and took the empty seat next to Marissa.

"Hi." Ben said.

"Oh, hi. How are classes going so far?" Marissa asked.

"Pretty good. I already have homework…but we're not supposed to have lives outside of school right?"

Marissa giggled quietly. "Yeah, I think that's their goal!"

After school was Marissa and Ben's first tutoring session. Ben rang her doorbell and they got started. This stuff was really easy for Marissa, she had already done all the homework before. They both decided to take a little break since they had been working for almost an hour. Ben was starting to get a hang of the math homework. Marissa got up and went to the kitchen for some snacks.

"Ok, I brought some Fritos and Diet Coke…I hope that's ok?" Marissa asked.

"Yeah, that's cool." Ben said.

Ryan was getting bored. He had already beat Seth at Tony Hawk about five times and he still insisted that he could win.

Ryan put down his controller and turned to Seth. "Hey Seth, you really suck at this, and you're never gonna win so I think I'm gonna go hang with Marissa for a while."

Seth looked at Ryan. "Ok, fine, but when you get back…IT'S HAWK BASHIN' TIME!"

"Uh…ok whatever Seth…see ya." Ryan said jesturing to Seth that he probably shouldn't say that anymore.

"Um, don't worry, I wont ever say that again." Seth replied.

Ryan knocked on the door of Marissa's apartment. No answer. He could hear noises coming from inside…but it just sounded like the TV. After a while, Ryan just decided to go in. He opened the door…

"Marissa?!" Ryan yelled.
