The lunch bell had just rung through the halls of Harbor High School. Marissa and Summer walked side by side down the hallway, mindlessly chattering. Seth was walking up the other side of the hall, towards Summer and Marissa. He noticed them walking up the hall a good distance ahead of him. There was a door about two feet in front of him, leading to the right. Seth kept his eyes on Summer and Marissa, and turned quickly, walking through the door, and into an adjacent hallway. He looked over his shoulder to see if Marissa and Summer spotted him, and let out a sigh of relief when he realized he was in the clear. He turned his head, facing forward again, and ran straight into Zach.

Zach: Whoa, Cohen. You gotta watch where you're going, man.

Seth looked up at Zach, dazed, and Zach patted him on the shoulder, turning him around. The two walked down the hall, heading towards Marissa and Summer again.

Zach: I'm glad I ran into you…or you ran into me… How'd it go last night?

Seth: (Quickly) Nothing happened.

Zach looked sideways at Seth.

Zach: I didn't ask if anything happened…I asked how it went.

Seth: Oh, it went fine. Good. It went great.

Zach stopped walking and looked at Seth suspiciously.

Zach: You got it finished?

Seth: Yeah.

Zach: Good. So then, what happened?

Seth: Nothing, man.

Seth started walking again and entered the main hallway almost walking into Marissa.

Marissa: Whoa, Seth!

Seth: Sorry.

Marissa reached out, putting her hand on Seth's shoulder and steadying the both of them.

Marissa: You okay?

Zach: Apparently he's bumping into everybody today.

Zach walked up behind Seth, immediately looking at Summer, while Marissa was still looking at Seth.

Zach: Seth tells me everything went fine last night.

Summer: (Quickly) Yeah…fine.

Zach eyed Seth and Summer.

Zach: So…tell me about it.

Seth: It went fine, man. You can come over later and see the sketch if you want…but, um…I gotta go…right now.

Seth turned, quickly leaving before anybody could get a word in. Marissa eyed Seth for a few seconds and then immediately noticed the tension between Summer and Zach. She looked between them a few times.

Marissa: Yeah…um, I gotta go, too.

She took one last glance at both of them, and pushed past them walking down the hall, following Seth. Summer looked up at Zach, trying as hard as she could to conceal the guilt in her eyes.

Zach: Please tell me what happened.

Summer: Nothing happened, Zach.

Zach: Yeah, that's what Cohen keeps saying…and that's what leads be to believe that something did happen.

Summer: Zach, Cohen probably didn't sleep last night…or the night before. He's on a caffeine drug binge. He's talking gibberish…

Zach was still suspicious but nodded his head nonetheless.

A few feet up the hall, Marissa caught up with Seth and walked next to him.

Marissa: Hey…you okay?

Seth: Yeah. I'm fine.

Marissa: Really?

Seth stopped and looked over at Marissa.

Seth: I'm going home…I'll talk to you later, okay?

Marissa: Uh…yeah.

Marissa nodded and Seth turned, shuffling down the hallway once again. Marissa's eyes darted to the side and saw Ryan and Lindsay walking up the hall talking. Marissa leaned back against a row of lockers, and watched Ryan. Ryan spotted Marissa from across the hall and smiled to her. He quickly turned back to Lindsay, they exchanged a few more words and with a smile, Ryan turned and walked in Marissa's direction. Ryan leaned into Marissa, pressing her body into the cold lockers, and kissed her.

Marissa: I have a surprise for you.

Ryan: Oh really?

Marissa: Yes.

Marissa smiled proudly and pushed Ryan off of her, taking his hand, and leading him down the hallway.

Ryan: Where are we going?

Marissa: It's a mystery.

Ryan: Field trip?

Marissa smiled playfully and led Ryan out one of the side doors of the high school.

Ten minutes later. Marissa pushed Ryan down on the bed inside her father yacht. She immediately moved onto the bed, herself, getting on top of Ryan and straddling him. The two kissed frantically, almost sloppily, only breaking for seconds at a time, and only to remove an article of clothing. Marissa pulled her lips away from Ryan's, letting her forehead rest on his, both of them trying desperately to catch their breath. Ryan placed his hands on Marissa's hips and swiftly rolled her over in bed.

Ryan: (Between heavy breaths) Remind me to…thank your father…for never being home.

Ryan smiled, and Marissa giggled, craning her neck up catching Ryan's lips with hers once again.

Marissa: (Between kisses) I love you.

Ryan: (Between kisses) I love you too.

Marissa's red Mustang pulled into an empty parking spot and they each stepped out, straightening out their clothes and smiling to each other from across the car. Marissa locked the car up and they walked around it, meeting at the front, their hands intertwining immediately. They smiled to each other and walked up the small hill towards the school. Marissa pulled her cell phone out of her purse, looking at the time.

Marissa: And we have five minutes to spare.

Ryan smiled and looked over at Marissa.

Ryan: We're good.

Marissa laughed and leaned into Ryan.

Marissa: I'd like to think so.

Summer: Look at the two of you…all giddy.

Ryan and Marissa stopped suddenly, turning to the right, and spotting Summer and Zach seated on a bench.

Summer: What did you two eat for lunch, each other?

Marissa: Sum!

Summer: Sorry, I could see you two glowing from a mile away.

Marissa rolled her eyes and looked at her friend.

Marissa: Very funny.

Summer: Well, it's true.

Ryan turned to Marissa, squeezing her hand slightly.

Ryan: I gotta get to my physics class. I'll see you later.

Marissa nodded and Ryan leaned in, placing a kiss on her cheek. He moved his lips to her ear and lingered there momentarily.

Ryan: (Whisper) I love you.

Ryan walked off before Marissa could say it back, but it didn't matter. She smiled and looked back at Summer and Zach.

Marissa: I gotta go, too. See you guys later.

Summer: Bye Coop.

Zach raised his arm in a wave and Marissa turned walking away from them.

Ryan stared at the large red C+ written on the front of his physics test. He flipped through the pages of the test, looking at the questions he'd got wrong. He shook his head every so often, noting questions he'd missed but knew the answer to.

Lindsay: How'd you do?

Ryan looked across the table at Lindsay and grimaced slightly. He slid his test across the table and Lindsay picked it up, looking at it.

Lindsay: It's okay, you'll be able to make it up with the quiz at the end of the week.

Ryan: Yeah…

Lindsay: If you want some help…

Ryan: Yeah, thanks. I think I just need some more sleep, though.

Lindsay: Well, the offer stands.

Ryan: Thanks.

Lindsay: So, Samantha keeping you up all night?

Ryan: Sometimes.

Lindsay nodded and slid Ryan's test back across the table.

Ryan: How did you do?

Lindsay: A.

Ryan smiled and looked at his C+ again.

Ryan: Have you got your early acceptance to Yale yet?

Lindsay: Um…yeah, actually. I did.

Ryan: Wow, congratulations. That's really great.

Lindsay: Yeah, I'm really excited.

Ryan: So you're going to start in the fall?

Lindsay: Yeah. I'm enrolled in some college classes over the summer to make sure I've got enough credits. Then I'm off for New Haven.

Ryan: It's in Connecticut, right?

Lindsay: Yeah.

Ryan: That's pretty far.

Lindsay: Well, what am I going to do in Newport Beach?

Ryan smiled.

Ryan: I see your point.
