Chapter 1
It was a glorious day in Orange County, as per usual. The sun was shining on the cool blue ocean. Birds were twittering in their trees, and there were people out on the boardwalk although it was only 8:30 in the morning.
Seth Cohen, Ryan Atwood and Marissa Cooper were riding in Summer Roberts' new yellow convertible to Newport Harbor High, where they go to school.
"Hey Sum, I love your new wheels" said Marissa. "Totally hot"
"Oh my god I know," Summer replied. "Courtesy of my step mum. It's a bribe to keep me working well at school."
"Guess what?" said Seth. "Modest Mouse is playing at the Bait Shop on Saturday night. Lets all go!"
"Okay cool," said Summer as she pulled into her parking space at school.
"I got to go and talk to Mr. Smith about my Math assignment." said Marissa, as she ran off
Seth started walking away too. "I have to go finish some Bio homework in the library. I'll catch you later."
"Bye" said Ryan. He turned to face Summer. Little did anyone else know but Summer and Ryan had hooked up about a week earlier, and had met 'privately' at Summer's house pretty much every day since then.
Ryan put his arm around Summer. "Are you doing anything tonight?" he asked, squinting in the sun's glare.
"Not really" said Summer shyly. "But are you sure we should be doing this? I mean, your going out with Marissa and she's my best friend, and same with you and Seth. They would be so cut if they found out."
"Yeah, I guess. But it is pretty fun, sneaking around. Marissa and I haven't been getting on very well lately, and so you're keeping me sane."
"So is that how you see me?" replied Summer angrily. "As your little 'bit' on the side."
"No, no, no." said Ryan quickly. "Its just… don't worry. I better go, or I'll be late for class."
"Bye" said Summer poutily as Ryan gave her a quick peck on the cheek and raced off.
