Chapter 2
"Forgive me for complaining, but how much longer are we going to have to wait?" grumbled Summer Roberts. Summer was leaning against the bench of Cape Cali, her and her friends favourite hang out spot.
"Summer! Could you be anymore inconsiderate?" said Marissa Cooper, letting a giggle escape.
"Sorry Ryan, but I did say forgive me." said Summer rolling her eyes. Ryan Atwood and Seth Cohen were playing pool, when Ryan stood up, reflexing from hitting the striped ball.
"Sorry?"
"Argh!" said Summer in an annoying manner. "I swear that boyfriend of your's never listens!"
"Hmm I know. But just not to you," smiled Marissa. She looked at the clock, which now read 4:00pm. "He was supposed to get here an hour ago. Are you sure you told him to meet us here?"
Ryan looked over at the clock and then at Marissa.
"Trust me, he will be here. His late for everything. Remember last time he came to Cali?" he replied. Marissa smiled to herself, remembering.
"Yeah your right, as usual."
Ryan Atwoods brotherTrey was returning to the Beach after his recent visit, this time, to stay.
Summer was about to begin her complaining again when the door to Cape Cali swung open andTrey entered.
"Bro, bout time you got here!" declared Ryan, with his arms outstretched, asTrey gave him a big bear hug, with a large grin plastered to his face. He then hugged Marissa, Seth and Summer, as they exchanged hello's.
"Well, its been awhile hasn't it?" declared Seth. Everyone nodded in agreement.
"So what's new guys?" asked Trey, as he sat on a stool at the bench next to Marissa.
"Your brother has moved out of the Cohen's residence," said Marissa, "He bought an apartment closer to the beach."Trey raised his eyebrows.
"Wow where did you get the money?" he said, as he turned to Ryan.
"I worked for it. You should try it sometime," answered Ryan.Trey rolled his eyes.
"As a matter of fact," he answered, "There is a reason for why I moved here. I got a job at the Inn."
"Oh my god!" shrieked Summer, being the first to react. The Inn was the centre of partying in California, and Summer was one of it's regular clients, even dragging Marissa in a couple of times despite the high entry fee.
"Wow, your kidding! That's amazing!" said an excited Marissa as she gave him another hug. Ryan, looking surprised, asked,
"How'd you manage that?"
"A mate of mine introduced me to the manager, and what can I say, I have style," he replied, shrugging his shoulder. "I start work their on Friday, so 'bout 5 days from now. I can swing some discounts for you guys, so I expect to see you's all there."
"Oh, trust me, we WILL be there!" shrieked Summer, once again, who couldn't seem to get over Trey's great deal.
"Congrats bro!But youare still going to need a place to stay, which, of course, has been organized back at the apartment." said Ryan, "Which we need to be heading off to any minute now." He said, as he went to kiss Marissa bye.Trey headed off to start the car, trying to not stare at his brother kissing the girl he loved. Summer followed him outside.
"Um, with all Inn related things set aside," she pleaded, "Ryan is REALLY happy. And so is Marissa. Please don't do anything stupid. I know you like her, but your relationship with him and her will be totally ruined if you try to interrupt."
Treyturned to look at Summer.
"Calm down," he said, "I'm not going to do anything stupid, now do you need a ride?"
"Thank god," muttered Summer, as she went to go back to rejoin Marissa.
