A/N: Thanks for the reviews! A lot of people thought I was giving Summer Marissa vibes, I didn't mean to do that, but if you want to I could make the story continue that way in a while. My thought was the usual pairings R&M and S&S but tell me what you think.

Chapter 2 – The New Girl In Town

She woke up and remembered where she was. The Cohen residence, that's right. Maybe I should get up and take a look around. She walked out from the pool house and faced the sun. It blinded her and she took her arm and covered it from her eyes. She walked against the house and heard the noise of two boys shouting.

"Hey don't hit me man, it's not my fault you suck at this"
Inside she saw two boys sitting by the TV playing videogames. One of them looked kind of familiar; he had brown hair and was pretty muscular and handsome. The other one had dark curly hair, he looked more innocent but he was totally cute. They suddenly heard her coming and put the game on hold.

"Hey you must be Summer! I'm Ryan; I used to live in Chino"
"Ryan… Atwood?"
"Yeah that's right, you've heard of me?"
"Yeah your "gang" was pretty well known"
"I guess it was. And this is Cohen's son Seth"

"Hi Seth! Very nice to meet you, hope you don't feel like I'm taking space or something"

"What? No of course not, you seem to be nice, glad to meet you"

He didn't know how to describe her. She was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen. She was pretty messed up he could see in her eyes, and on the bruises, but the beauty was so much greater than that. They sat playing videogames and she was actually pretty good. But he couldn't concentrate because he just looked at her. His father entered the room.

"So I see the three of you have met. Can I have a word with you Summer?"

She got up and walked in to the kitchen with him.

"So how did you sleep?"
"It was great, thank you very much; I guess I will be on my way today"
"Really? Where were you planning on going?"

"I don't know, I probably could think of something"
"Or you could just stay here for a while until you find a place"
"I can't ask you to take in me just like that"
"You didn't ask me, I told you that you could stay here. Now why don't you take the boys out so that they can show you Newport. Seth Ryan! Why don't you take Summer out and show her Newport"
The boys came walking in to the kitchen with not very happy looks on their faces.

"Yeah because there is so much to do here"

They walked down the beach and looked at all the beautiful boats that lay there. Ryan saw the look on Summer's face.

"I know, it is pretty beautiful and it looks expensive. You get used to it after a while"
She smiled but kept on walking without saying a word. He got that she went through a hard time in Chino because who didn't? But she looked strong and he believed she would make it through. Sandy walked down the beach and met them.

"So the fashion show is at six tonight"
"Okay I hope you and mom will have a great time"
"Come on, it's a new year now"
"Yeah but if the kids haven't gone through an extreme makeover then I will probably be as unloveable as I was last year"
"Stop it, you have to go, if Summer is going to be here for a while then she has to get used to the parties. So you two get to take her there"
Seth seemed a lot more positive when he heard that.

"Okay if you have to argue about it"

They walked up and Ryan walked beside Seth and laughed at him a little bit.

"What?"
"It was kind of obvious why you gave in on him there"
"What are you talking about?"
"Nothing, nothing at all. Hope you have fun at the party"
"You are going to you know"
"I can't, I have to be home when the plumber comes to fix the pipes"

"Ah so I have to go alone?"
"No you have Summer with you, and don't try to act like you don't like that"

He decide he wouldn't, Ryan could see when he lied. And if he said he wouldn't enjoy tonight then it would be a lie.

She borrowed a dress from Kirsten, it was a little bit small for Kirsten and it fit pretty well on her. She looked in the mirror and smiled at the sight.

"You look as beautiful as I did when I could wear that"

She turned around and saw Kirsten looking at her.

"Thank you, and thank you for letting me borrow it, and thank you for letting me stay here, I promise I will find my own place soon"
"No rush, it could be nice to have someone girlier in the house to talk to"

They both smiled to one and another and then they walked down the stairs and met up with Sandy and Seth.

"Who are you and what have you done to my beautiful wife?"
"Should I take that as a compliment?"
He kissed her on the hand. "That would be a good idea"
"Okay there are other people here you know"
"Don't be embarrassed Seth, look at Summer, your date is just as beautiful"
They both blushed and Summer walked beside Seth out to the car. In the car he couldn't stop looking at her and she noticed it.

"What? Do I have something in my face?"
"No it's just…"
"What?"
"You look really good in that dress"
"Thank you, you look pretty handsome yourself"
She smiled, of course boys had been on her in Chino too but that was usually just because they wanted a sex toy, this sounded more real and truthful.

So here it is, before the next chapter I have to decide which pairings it should be, so I can't start with a little romance. So tell me which pairings you want. Right now it has been like fifty-fifty on the usual pairings and Summer Marissa.
