A new story…don't know how far I'll go with it. Thanks for the help Blinko. This is Seths POV for this chapter.

"Dad. Mom." I started as I prepared to ask them something. "You two are looking very young and healthy this evening." Hey a little sucking up couldn't hurt.

"What do you want Seth?" Man they were getting good at this.

I held up the pamphlet and handed it to dad.

"Jaulins Phatormary?" he asked.

"What's that?" Mom asked.

"A boarding school" I answered.

"What? Why? Where?"

"Maine. Raymond, Maine." Dad said.

"I want to get out of California. Make new friends, make any friends."

"You have Ryan" My mom said only to convince me more to leave.

"Gee. One friend. That's awesome mom, next thing you know I'll be the water polo captain!"

My mother glared at me.

"Ryan wanted to go too."

At the same time my parents both replied differently.

"Sure! Why not?" My father said while my mother said,

"I don't think so Seth." Oh boy.

"What is it the money? I think were covered on that." Dad asked.

"No." My mother said. "You know how upset I was without the boys this summer! Think of a year without them!"

"Less drama…." My dad started.

"Hey!" I said.

"What? It's true. You guys are always having girl trouble or something else. Anyone recall TJ?" Is he on my side or not?

"Hey that was Marissa. Not me. Or Ryan."

"Yah well it was Ryan's girl troubles.."

"Oh really? So you adults are perfect? You want to talk about drama? What about The Debutant Ball. Yah. Greg Fisher punching Jimmy Cooper?"

"Yah but.."

Nope, it's my turn to talk dad.

"Or what about Julie and Grandpa getting married? That caused some drama."

Hey, now that I think about it there's a lot of stuff.

"Or what about Julie and Jimmy's divorce? That's caused Marissa to go to TJ and OD."

My father thought about it. "You know this is all Cooper related."

"You have a point" I said. Then without thinking I said another one. "And Julie and Luke."

As soon as I said it I realized I made a mistake. Ryan had just walked in and his eyes were wide. Very wide. Almost as wide as mine were at the time. I clasped my hand over my mouth and looked at my parents surprised faces.

"Uhm…" My mother said. "What's this about Julie and Luke?"

"What?" Denial. I would deny it although everyone heard it and I could feel my face turing about 5 shades of red.

"Seth, we all know what you just said. Now out with it or you two defiantly can't go to Maine."

Damn parents and there ability of taking away something like that.

"Julie and Luke's fight. They had a fight causing him to leave the state. Yah you just think he was in a car accident. It was actually Julie with her vicious nails."

"I'm going to pretend I did not hear you lie that badly." My dad said as he laughed. "Now out with it!"

Ryan stepped in, "We will tell if you promise not to tell anyone."

My parents nodded.

"Pinky swear?" I asked.

They both rolled there eyes and nodded.

Ryan turned to me. "What are you like 8?"

"You'll see who's laughing when they can't tell anyone because I thought of making them pinky swear. You see that's why they call me the Brains."

"Who calls you that?" Mom asked.

"Ryan, Marissa and Summer." Summer. That reminded me.

"So can we go…please?

"Your mother and I have to talk about that…now about Julie and Luke?"

"Ah. Yes. Well you see, Julie and Luke sort of were sleeping together until Ryan and I saw them leaving a motel kissing. And not the mother-of-your-ex-girlfriend peck on the cheek. Were talking screw-our-age-differences-lets-make-out kiss."

I paused and looked at my parents. Mom-confused. Dad-confused.

"So Ryan made them stop."

My dad interrupted me. "While you stood back and watched…."

"Why thank you father for your input but I believe I'm telling a story. Please keep all comments to yourself until the end, thanks."

I turned around to see Ryan nodding to Dad's question.

"Thanks a lot buddy but I would have done it. But you guys are friends so I figured you could talk to him. And your better at the whole serious thing… I would have made a joke or something.."

"Carry on." My parents said.

"So anyway, Ryan made them stop." My dad snickered and I glared at him.

"Ryan you tell it. The audience doesn't seem to appreciate me."

Ryan got up and said "Yah uhm.. so I told them to stop and they did."

My dad looked confused. "Is that it?"

I cut in "No. Ryan is a man of few words, he might explode if he has to talk to much. I will continue with MY story. Where was I? Oh yes. So they stopped seeing each other. The night we came back from L.A. Marissa had to go to the bathroom. And when she was in there Luke came. He said "I'm done having sex with Julie Cooper and BAM." My mom jumped. "Out came Marissa and ran away to Chino."

"Oh…that's why she went there Ryan?"

"Yep it is." I answered for him. "So anyway Ryan gets Marissa from Chino.."

"Ryan does something helpful..again?" Boy my father is just so funny.

"You want me to tell this or not?"

"I'm sorry. Proceed."

"So he gets her and then there's the whole Julie Caleb proposal and Luke gets in a car accident and then Marissa comes to the hospital and Luke tells her he's leaving, if he stayed he would cause bad things to happen. Which was probably kind of good he left…or I wouldn't have had a place to stay this summer…. And that's it."

Silence.

"So can we go?"

"We'll think about it."

sadly that was the longest chapter ive ever made..

i've decided this will be turned into a story…I'll post when you review.
