It is after the Valentine's Day fiasco and things seem more complicated for
Ryan more than ever. Not only is he confused about where his relationship
with Marissa is, but also now he is bombarded with thoughts about his
previous ex. Things don't seem to look good, but Ryan is trying to deal
with his situation the best he knows how.
Ryan is lying down on his bed just starring at the clock. He knows he has to get up. He hit the snooze button one too many times already. He needs to get ready for school.
Seth enters the pool house.
"Hey, I thought you would never get up. Remember I am not with Anna anymore and so I need to ride with you." Seth replied.
"Well, there is nothing that I need to look forward to at school." Ryan replied unemotionally.
"Now cheer up Ryan. Things are going to get back to normal again. You will see".
"Well I am not counting on it."
"But still we need to go. I will be waiting out front."
Even though Ryan sat in the Western Civ class, he was only there physically. His mind was on Teresa. Never did he think that that would be the person that he would think about, but thoughts of her were flooding his mind.
"And the answer is? Ryan could you answer that question?" Mr. Wray asked.
Slowly he came back to reality.
"Um. I don't know."
"Anybody else knows the answer." Mr. Wray asked again.
As soon as he finished the question the bell rang and school was finally over. Now he could just go back home and relax. Unfortunately the one person he did not want to see today showed up outside his class.
"Hey" was all Marissa could force out after the event in his pool house.
"Hi, um I am kind up in a hurry. I need to help Sandy with some stuff." Ryan lied.
"Oh, well," now looking everywhere except his face, "I just thought to say hi since we haven't talked since what happened Valentine's Day".
"Listen, I'll call you later tonight okay."
Maybe he will, and maybe he won't. Still he just needed to say something to leave.
"Sure. I guess I'll talk to you then."
She was not sure if what he said was true, but she knew that she would be staying by the phone that night. She needed to talk to him. Needed to get everything off her chest and Valentine's Day was not enough in her mind. She loved Ryan and like she said before, she was not going to give up on him like everyone else in his life.
Seth is now sitting on the couch with Summer watching more of the animated Batman cartoons. He is so happy that he is now with Summer. Never in a million years did he think that his one dream girl would be even talking with him let alone be his girlfriend.
"So Cohen, which do you like better Superman, or Batman?" Summer asked.
"Well Summer, you know I am not good at choosing, but if I must I would have to say Superman."
"And why is that?"
"Something about wearing tights and a red cape interest me."
" Uh, Cohen, they both wear tights and a cape, but just different colors."
"Well, then I like him better for the colors."
Summer could still not believe that she was with Seth Cohen. He was like Seth Cohen. Still he won her heart and she felt like a queen and he was her king. But the reality was she was not being totally honest with him. She loved the time she spent with him, but she was not ready to make their relationship public. She did not know whether she really would.
Later that night...
Marissa looked at the clock. It was almost eleven. She had been sitting by the phone since six. Tears wanted to force themselves out, but she held them back.
Why did I not see it? Why did I not believe him? Should he be this angry with me? She knew the answer to the last question clearly. He had every right to be. Was Summer right? Was she just chasing the wrong guy? After thinking about these questions she decided that maybe he didn't want to call her. Well she was not going to have that. She had to take some action again so she picked up the phone herself and dialed his number.
