Chapter 2
Ryan and Summer were sitting under the bleachers at Newport Harbor High. They were kissing and both seemed to be enjoying it. Suddenly Summer pulled away.
"Ryan, this isn't right."
"Summer come on, it's just a bit of fun." Ryan replied. "Its not like anyone will ever find out."
"So is that how you see me? Just a bit of fun on the side?"
"No no no," said Ryan quickly. "I don't mean it like that." He leaned back towards Summer and began kissing her again. Summer was hardly in a position to complain. Here she was making out with one of the hottest guys in the school. But still she felt uneasy.
"Oh my god." A voice cut through their kissing. Ryan and Summer turned around to see Marissa staring at them. "Oh my god," she repeated.
"Marissa," said Ryan pleadingly. "I can explain."
"You don't need to explain anything. Everything I need to know is right here in front of me." replied Marissa shrilly. She turned around and stalked away. Ryan jumped up and ran after her, with Summer following closely behind. He looked around for Marissa, and saw her running down the many steps at the front of the school.
"Marissa" Ryan shouted out after her. Marissa started running even faster down the steps as Ryan sprinted up to her. Ryan grabbed her elbow. Marissa wrenched her arm out of his grip, and whirled around on the spot. As if in slow motion, she fell backwards, her hair fanning out behind her. A scream escaped her lips. She landed on her shoulder, on the cold stone step and bounced to the bottom of the steps, where she remained motionless.
