Marissa turned to kiss Ryan after they entered the Pool House and shut the door. The phone started to ring and Ryan pulled away to answer it.
"Hello?"
"Hey Ryan. It's Jimmy. Is Marissa there?"
"Yeah. Hold on." Ryan said covering the phone with his palm. "It's your dad." He handed the phone to Marissa.
"Hey."
"Hey Kiddo. Your phone was…well not with you, so I called there."
"Yeah, no, that's fine…so what's up?"
"Well, I told your mom." The look on Marissa's face immediately caught Ryan's attention. "And she's…well, she's pretty mad. But don't worry Mariss. We're going to figure this out, I am going to figure this out. I was just wondering though, if it would be okay for you to stay at Summer's for a little while, y'know so I can work everything out. Is that okay sweetie?"
Marissa stood quiet. That was a lot of information. "That's fine." She finally managed to speak.
"Okay Kiddo, I love you."
"I love you too." Marissa hung up the phone.
"What is it?" Ryan asked concerned.
"He told my mom. And she's mad."
"Are you okay?" Ryan asked hugging her and holding her close to him.
Marissa smiled. She loved having Ryan care. "Yeah…y'know, my mom isn't going to ruin my life anymore. I have to stay with Summer for a little while though."
"Is there something wrong with that?"
"I'd rather stay with you." Ryan pulled Marissa closer. They were still dripping wet and were only in their bathing suits.
The door burst open and Seth jumped in. "I have the best idea! Let's go camping!"
"Yeah, I'm sure Summer agrees with that Seth." Marissa said sarcastically.
"It was her idea!"
"I thought it was your idea?" Ryan asked laying his head on Marissa's shoulder.
"Actually, getting away from here, sounds…"
"Good?" Ryan said finishing Marissa's sentence.
"Yeah."
"Alright! Let's pack! We're leaving tomorrow!" Seth said excitedly and bounded out of the Pool House.
"Do you have everything?" Summer asked for the thousandth time checking for all their 'essentials'.
"Yep. I still can't believe you agreed to go camping Summ."
"It's something new." Summer and Marissa checked their stuff one more time. It was 7:30 when they headed towards Seth's and Ryan's house.
"Ryan! Get up! We're all ready to go man." Seth said shaking Ryan.
"What time is it?" Ryan asked sleepily.
"7:45."
"Okay. I'm up. Get out."
Seth left the Pool House and walked into the main house where Summer and Marissa were sitting and drinking orange juice.
"He's getting up." Seth said casually, picking up a bagel.
25 Minutes Later-
Ryan walked into the house. "Let's go." He said kissing Marissa and taking her hand in his.
"This place is like…dirty." Summer said stating the obvious.
"It's the woods, Summ. What did you expect?" Marissa asked sitting their bags next to the cement bench.
"Me and Ryan will set up the tents." Seth said handing Ryan the tent poles.
"By 'me and Ryan' you mean just me, don't you?" Ryan asked while starting to put the poles together.
45 Minutes Later-
"There. Two tents. Completely together."
"With no help from you." Ryan stated to Seth. Seth ignored and started to put his and Summer's things in one of the tents.
Ryan started airing up the mattress that him and Marissa were having to sleep on.
"You don't have to do that yet Ryan." Marissa said kissing him on the cheek.
"Better now, then when it's dark." Ryan replied taking a break from airing up the mattress.
"True." Marissa said now kissing him on the lips. Ryan dropped the mattress and the air started to spew out.
"Hey…hey…guys, it's early. Save that for later." Seth said interrupting their moment. "Ryan, let's go get some fire wood."
Ryan pulled away from Marissa. "Okay." He said walking off with Seth.
Summer saw the boys walk off and went over to Marissa. "Coop! These tents are so…tent-like. Let's fix them up!"
"Okay." Marissa replied laughing at how weird Summer can be.
When Seth and Ryan arrived with the fire wood the tents had gone from empty to…well full. The 'beds' were made up and all the stuff was put inside neatly. "Wow. Looks like you guys were busy too." Seth said putting his arm around Summer and admiring their work.
"Who's hungry?" Ryan asked while trying to start the fire.
"Me." Seth, Summer, and Marissa replied at the same time.
"What are we gonna do here for four days?" Marissa asked sitting on Ryan's lap feeding him melted marshmallows.
"We'll think of something." He replied smiling. He had marshmallow on his lip and Marissa licked it off. Ryan liked that. Summer and Seth did not.
"I just hope it doesn't rain like it did that one time. That would suck." Seth said setting up a chair to sit on.
They were having a great time.
Ryan really did wonder if it would rain.
Marissa wondered what was going to happen when she had to go back to Newport.
Seth wondered how Ryan got the fire started without any matches or a lighter.
Summer wondered about what she was going to do without Princess Sparkle, considering she left her at home.
Tell me what you thought. Should it rain? Should there be drama? Let me know.
