Chapter 2 – Oliver?
"Oliver?" Marissa asked quietly. "Are you sure it was him?"
Summer looked at Marissa's confused face and shook her head. "Of course it was him Coop, he waved at me!"
"Anyone can wave Summer, did you see his face?"
"No, I saw his shoes…" Summer said sarcastically.
"Well, did you get a chance to talk to him? Does Ryan know?" Marissa asked impatiently. Summer and Marissa sat in Summer's room talking about how Oliver came back. Later that evening, they would be going over to the Cohen's house for dinner. They contemplated about telling Ryan. Would they see Oliver at school again? Was it really him?
Summer tugged at her draw and took out a lip-gloss. " No, I didn't get a chance to speak to him, it was just a wave. I wonder why he's here…"
"Are the girls here yet?" Seth asked Ryan as Ryan walked into his room.
"Nah, not yet bro. Marissa called at little while ago though, She said they'd be here around 6 o' clock."
Seth sat on the edge of his bed and patted the area beside him. "Mkay, well, can we have a little Seth Ryan time please, I got some big news."
"Sure, shoot." Ryan said, sitting beside Seth.
"Well," Seth began. "There's some good news and some bad news. Of course the bad news is the worst… so I'll start off with that."
"Okay…"
"Someone is back, I'm not quite sure if it's true, but their back." Seth said, shifting away a bit.
"Who?" Ryan asked.
Just then, the doorbell rang.
"It's probably Marissa and Summer. I'll go get them." Ryan said, rushing out of Seth's room.
"But it's only 5:45! Seth Ryan time is not finished!" Seth shouted.
Ryan jogged up to the front door and yanked the door open.
"Hey!" he said breathlessly as he held his arms open. He took a closer look, it wasn't Marissa. It was a guy. Oliver!
"Hey Ryan, man. That's not the way I expected you to act when you saw me, but I'm back in town and I just thought I'd pop by and say hi." Oliver said, giving Ryan a handshake.
"Uh… come in." Ryan led the way in.
"Hey, Oliver, dude, what's up man?" Seth said coming down the stairs.
Oliver stuck his hands into his pockets, "Not too bad, you know. I'm back in town and I thought that I'd just pop by and say hi."
