Hey guys! So, this idea just popped into my head one day, and I decided I should write it down and see if it works out. I know I said that I would update SKOW as soon as I could, but I really wanted to get started on this story before anything else happens. I'll try to find time as I go along. Please R&R!
Disclaimer: I wish I owned the OC. . .but of course. . .I don't.
Hidden Things
Chapter 1--
"Hey babe!" Marissa put her lunch tray on the glass table and gave Luke, her boyfriend of seven years, a peck on the lips. She smoothed out the back of her ruffled Abercrombie skirt and sat down next to him.
"Hey Maris." He smiled at his girlfriend as he called her by her long time nickname.
"Hi guys." She waved around the lunch table at her friends. Ryan, Seth, Summer, and Rachel. Seth and Summer had been dating for two months now, and they were all over each other. . .all the time. Ryan and Rachel had been going out for about three weeks. They were both pretty happy with eachother. Ryan made Rachel feel at home, since she had just moved here all the way from Miami.
The gang smiled and replied in a mixture of Hi's Hey's and Hello's before Summer spoke up. "So we were just talking about this beach party that Rachel is gonna have tomorrow night. It's supposed to be all-time. You in?"
Rachel smiled at Summer's nice comment.
Marissa took a sip of her Fiji water and shrugged her shoulders and tried to sound excited. "Can't wait!"
"Yeah, me too. This guy's dad works for Budweiser and he's gonna get like tons of booze for the party." Luke said excidedly.
"Hey that shit's of da hizzok" Seth said, trying his best to sound cool. When everybody started staring at him, he corrected himself. "I mean. . .cool."
Everyone laughed and went back to talking about the party. After a while of talking, the bell rung and everybody got up to get to class. Marissa walked over to Ryan's locker, where they met every day to go to Spanish together.
"Ready?" Marissa asked as she walked up to Ryan who was just closing his locker.
"Looks like it, huh?" Ryan smiled.
Marissa smiled too, as they started walking side by side. She spotted Luke on the other side of the hallway talking to some girl. She didn't really think much of it, as he was always talking to someone, making plans for some big bash he was having.
Ryan saw Luke and the girl too. Probably another girl he was having sex with. It broke his heart that Marissa had to be with that slob for a guy, she deserved so much better. If only she had gone to Mexico, she could have found out for herself. But Luke was one of his best friends now, and he had promised not to tell. He tried to strike up a conversation to take Marissa's eyes off Luke and the girl. "So. . .that party sounds fun, huh?"
"Yeah, I guess. They're just kind of boring, you know? I mean, all there is to do is drink, and I can't even find Luke half the time."
"Well, you know."
"I do?" She smiled.
"Uh, yeah. . ."
They entered the spanish room and waved, then parted, since they both sat at opposite sides of the room. Ryan watched Marissa sit down and talk with her friends. He smiled at her beauty, and even though he couldn't have her, he was glad she was happy. Even though Luke should be shot for the way he treated the poor girl. She didn't even know.
The bell rang and shook Ryan out of his thoughts. He sat quietly for the next hour listening to Mr. Boring talk on and on. As class finally let out, he found Marissa again and started walking back to the lockers. He saw Luke down the hallway kissing another girl. Kissing! God, didn't he know that Marissa could see him at any second? He was so stupid. But Ryan kind of hoped that Marissa would see him kissing the girl, just so Luke would get what he deserved. But it would kill Marissa. They finally stopped kissing, and a few seconds later Marissa finally looked up.
"Oh look! There's Luke!" She said happily and skipped over to him.
'Yep, there's Luke. . .bastard' Ryan thought coldly.
Rachel, Summer and Seth walked up to Ryan. Rachel and Summer were talking so they didn't notice the hurt in Ryan's eyes. But Seth did. "I know it's hard man. But you gotta deal with it. Luke's a shit head. And untill Marissa sees that, it's gonna be hard."
"What's gonna be hard, Cohen?" Summer asked.
"The math test that we're taking fifth period." Seth replied quickly.
"Oh, Shit!" Rachel said harshly and she lightly hit her forhead with her hand. "I totally forgot! I better go study. See you guys later!" She gave Ryan a soft kiss and a smile before walking off to study hall.
"And we'll see you later cute!" Summer said pinching Ryan's cheeks. Then Seth and Summer walked off to their next class, pinkies linked. Ryan made a face at their closeness.
Ugh. Can someone say PDA? Ryan took a deep breath and walked off to fourth period. A whole hour watching Luke and Marissa smother eachother with meaningless kisses.
--
This is my alternate universe. Seth and Summer are obviously together. Rachel is a new student from Miami. Marissa never went to Mexico, so she never found out about Luke and Holly. Ryan was sworn to secrecy by Luke so even though it kills him, he dosen't say anything. Oh, PS, PDA means public display of affection, just incase you were wondering.
Ok, so what do you think? Continue? And please review The Rays Of A Beautiful Sun, too, it's finished!
