Chapter 13

Marissa looked around Alex's old apartment. It was weird being in there again, since the last time she was in there, she was living there. She collapsed onto Trey's couch. Trey was obviously confused.

"Um, do you want anything to drink?" Trey asked. He sat down next to Marissa and looked at her. She just leaned over and kissed him again. Trey was getting used to this, because well, he did like Marissa. However, as much as he loved it when her hands were in his brown hair, he pulled back. This wasn't like Marissa. Only about a week ago, she was freaking out because he had kissed her.

"Wait…Riss…" he literally had to pull Marissa away from his mouth. Marissa was hurt inside. She knew that Ryan would be so hurt to find out what she was doing, but she didn't care anymore. He obviously wanted to be with Jess Sanders.

"Is something wrong?" Marissa asked innocently.

"It's just…weird. I mean, when I kissed you the other week, you seemed freaked out by it. Now, you're kissing me?" Trey wondered.

"Well, maybe that's because I was fighting the urge to realize my true feelings for you," Marissa said seductively. Maybe if she made herself believe she didn't love Ryan anymore, that the feelings would go away.

"So, you've been fighting the urge because you have feelings for me?" Trey asked again.

"Yeah…I do," Marissa said. Trey smirked a sexy little smirk (the one he can pull off so well). He leaned in to kiss her once again, but they were interrupted by Marissa's cell phone. She sighed and searched for the phone in her purse. Seeing it was Summer, she flipped it open immediately.

"Sum, what's wrong?" Marissa asked.

"Oh, Cohen just being an ass and talking about the comic book. Nothing new to that," Summer said dully.

"I thought it was a graphic novel," Marissa pointed out.

"Whatever. So Coop, where are you?" Summer asked, getting straight to the point.

"I'm…I'm at Trey's apartment," Marissa said finally. She closed her eyes, waiting for Summer's reaction.

"What? Did I just hear you say your at Trey's apartment?" Summer asked.

"You heard correctly," Marissa said calmly.

"Coop! Number one, you should be in school, and number 2 I thought you were going to talk to Ryan! You're at his brother's house? Do you know how upset he's going to be when he finds out?" Summer exclaimed.

"Sum…calm down," Marissa begged. Trey was getting drinks from the fridge. "If you listen, I can explain what happened!" Summer stopped talking.

"Okay, shoot," Summer demanded.

"Ryan's with Jess. He obviously doesn't want me around. Plus, I like Trey. He's extremely hott," Marissa said. Trey looked up and smirked at her when he heard that.

"Wait, Ryan's with Jess…Sanders? EW!" Summer screeched.

"Yeah, so I realized, you know, that me and Trey are like meant for each other so I ditched school. Ryan seems happy with Jess," Marissa said. She couldn't believe what she was saying. Inside, she still longed to be with Ryan, but he was obviously with Jess so it wasn't possible.

"Well, if you're sure," Summer said. She didn't sound convinced though.

"Okay, well I gotta go. I'll talk to you later," Marissa said and hung up. Trey walked back to the couch and handed her a class of margarita. "Thanks." He sat down.

"So…I couldn't help but over hear…you think I'm hott?" Trey questioned.

"Don't be bold!" Marissa warned teasingly.

"And you think we're meant o be?" Trey wondered, taking a sip of his drink.

"Yeah…yeah, I do," Marissa tried to put on the best possible smile. Trey leaned in and kissed her.
