Marissa didn't have to wait long for her phone to start ringing madly. She already knew it was Summer, with and IM like that she couldn't not call.

"YOUR DOING WHAT!" Summer squels before Marissa can even say hello.

"I know it's crazy, I saw him today at the grocery store, we talked for a couple minutes, and he invited me to come over to the apartment and have pizza with him Seth and some chick that Seth is friends with- and then watch a movie"

"And your going?" Summer states more than asks, the jealousy began to creep at her voice- Seth was gonna be hanging out with two beautiful woman tonight and neither of them was her.

"Yeah, he said you could come to though" Marissa asks, she knew Summer too well.

"Can't- Dinner with. . . Robert" She said not masking the dread in her voice.

"Oh- well you'll have a good time then- I mean it's Robert" Marissa says relieved that Summer had something just as fun to do.

"Yeah- it's Robert, but I have to go, have fun and to stay out to late, I'm waiting up for you" Summer says with a laugh.

Marissa hung up, and headed to the closet, her mind was buzzing with possibilites, maybe if things go well, she and Ryan could get back together- Maybe she should be happy again. It was obvious that her outfit must be amazing- while still looking casual and 'oh i just threw this on' sort of vibe. She debated for about 15 minutes, before glancing at the clock and realizing she was supposed to be at their apartment in ten minutes, and she did have to 'just throw something on" she ended up with her favorite pair of ripped up faded jeans and a tight hot pink tee that said "I want your tots".

The whole walk their she just thought about Ryan, he hadn't changed alot, he was still er- shorter, with his sandy blond hair and sparkling blue eyes. His muscular arms were tan, and she longed for them to be wrapped around her once more. Before she knew it, she was at their apartment door, she took a deep breath before knocking hesitantly.

The door was flung open, and Marissa was greeted by a gorgeous black haired girl, Her green eyes shown as she saw Marissa- who was shocked at the sight of this girl- it wasn't Ryan's girlfriend was it? because she most definately could not compete with a girl like this, she was wearing microscopic shorts- the trouser style with cuffs, and a long fitted white tank top, with sequin accents along the top, and multiple strings of brightly colored costume jewelery.

"Omg you must be Marissa- I have heard sooo much about you!" The girl squels wrapping Marissa into a huge hug. "I'm Olivia by the way, and don't worry I'm not dating either of these bums" she says in a bright and bubbly voice. Marissa couldn't help but feel bad for disliking her at first.

Olivia grabbed her hand and led her into the apartment- it was quite obvious that two men lived here, the walls were bare, and dirty dishes lay in the sink, it was also obvious where they spent most of their time, the living room, where a gigantic big screen t.v. lived along with a big black comfortable looking couch. Where she saw Seth lazily sprawled. He looked good- really good, If she didnt like blue eyed blonds she would have gone for him.

"OMG MArissa" He shouts and reaches his arms up. "In case you didn't hear I'm paralyzed, walk over here and give me a hug!" He shouts at Marissa a lopsided smile across his face. Marissa just rolled her eyes.

"Seth Cohen your a dirty liar- your grandpa and my mom are married- I would know if you almost died" she said as she gave him a hug.

Seth just laughs "I know I just didn't want to get up" Marissa hits his arm, and he madly pretends to be hurt.

"Wait now- your mom, is married to Seth's rich grandpa?" Olivia asks a confused expression crossing her face.

"You butta bulieve it" Seth says still on the couch "That's just how we roll in the O.C. Bitch!" stealing Luke's best known line. MArissa laughs at the memory.

"God that was forever ago- Ryan's first night in Newport" she says smiling at the memory.

"What can I say- I just always have to be the center of attention" Ryan says, surprising Marissa, he was wearing a tight maroon shirt that said "Bob's Pizza- Best in town" across it, She knew it wasn't a novelty shirt either- which just made Marissa love it more.

"Hey Seth- I'm a bit chilly, can I borrow a sweatshirt?" Olivia asks sendind Seth daggers with her eyes.

"Yeah go grab one" He says flipping throught he channels.

"Why don't you help me find one" Olivia asks attempting to pull him off the couch.

"Why! you know my closet better than I do!" Seth shouts oblivious to what was going on.

"Seth Ezekiel Cohen- Come with me now or I'll tell everyone about that time in College when you dressed like a -" Olivia never finished her sentence as Seth quickly pushed her into one of the back rooms that Marissa assumed was his bedroom. She couldn;t help but laugh.

"God they are quite the pair aren't they?" She says looking at Ryan.

"Yeah they are- they dated for awhile but there was like no chemistry- especially when compared to well Summer" Ryan says sheepishly, he didn't want to get SEth into trouble.

"I just wonder when he and Summ will realize they belong together, it is so obvious that she loves him, but she;s still with Robert- she thinks I don't know though, about how she feels about Seth".

"WEll that's just how it is, you don't see your soulmate, even if they are right there until you are ready to see them" Ryan says with a laugh.

"You know what Ryan, that gives me an idea"

"Oh god What have I done" Ryan says laughing.

"Let's just trick and scheme and be stealth, and get them back together" MArissa says with a glint in her eye.

"And how do you suggest we do that"

"Easy- get them jealous" Marissa says raising one eyebrow,

"Are you freaking joking me!" Summer shouts! "You havn't spoken in like 5 years, but you get back together in the first 5 minutes!" the idea was rideculous to Summer, it was like some soap opera, no one did that in real life! Marissa just shrugged.

"Summer I knew that I was in love with him, and he was still in love with me- it dosn't have to be hard" Marissa says with a far away expression in her eyes.

"It does for me" Summer says glumly as she flops down on the couch.

"What are you talking about Summer, your with Robert, you two are obviously gonna get married, whats so confusing about that?" Marissa says, it was getting hard not to laugh, while tricking her friend, but it will be worth it in the end

"Seth Cohen is what makes it confusing" Summer says jumping up from the couch and pacing around the room.

"How does he even affect you and RObert- I thought you were over him" Marissa asks still playing dumb.

"I thought so too, but now everything is crazy, I'm in love with him again but I have Robert, and he has that crazy cat bitch" She says her eyes narrowing at the thought of Paris.

"Oh Summ" Marissa says giving her friend a hug. Summer lets out a big sigh.

"Well I;m gonna get to bed, I have a big day tommerow, I'm gonna start wallowing in self pity around 9 take a break at 12 to question my entire life and finish up at 3 with jealous rages." Summer says walking back to her room. Thats when Marissa thought of the perfect plan, and whipped out her cell phone.

"Ryan? It's me. . .She bought it bait line and sinker, now is time for phase two"
