A/N This was written for TWoP Naked!Character challenge. It's mostly Ryan and Summer. I decided my whole story was way too long to post as one chapter. At least one character does get naked but closer to the end of the story so if you want more chapters then you better review.

Summary: This was previously posted under my other name. I've written some new chapters so I wanted to continue this story under my new name. What happens when Summer has to decide between Seth and Ryan. Things get even more complicated when a new girl starts attending Harbor High

Disclaimer: I don't own anything related to The OC

It had been a peaceful day in Orange County. Now night had already fallen. No stars could be seen through the thick clouds that covered the sky and threatened to hide the moon.

A faint laugh and a small outline of a young girl was the only audible sound. Aside from the clicking of heels on the concrete.

Summer jumped out of the car and grabbed Ryan's hand. She led them along the outer edge of the pool. She was running way to fast for the high heels that she had on just because they coordinated with her outfit. She caught it on the edge of pool and there was a good chance that if Ryan hadn't been there to grab her hand she might have fallen in.

Ryan quietly opened the door to the pool house and quieted Summer who was trying her best to contain her excitement. He pulled all the shades before he even dared to turn any lights on. They both stood in the darkness studying the outlines of each other.

Summer traced the outline of his body with her indexed finger and Ryan just couldn't resist running his fingers through her soft, long brown hair. He found his idle hands caressing her body and moving southward.

When Ryan dated Marissa the only rule the Cohen's had was that she be gone by midnight. Ryan sneaked a glance at his alarm clock that was beside his bed. The neon numbers glowed in the dimly lit room.

There was no mistaking that it was past 1:30 in the morning, Summer should have been gone by now. But Ryan still wasn't used to having rules and having parents who cared. His views were still "rules were meant to be broken".

Ryan decided to leave the lights off. It was better that way. Helps the mood. Summer pushed Ryan in the stomach with both of her palms outspread.

Ryan fell backwards and lay sprawled on the bed his arms laying up high by his head. Summer crawled on top of him and pinned his arms to the bed, so they were in essence mobilized.

"You're not going anywhere" Summer said playfully.

Ryan could have easily gotten free from Summer's grasp since she was so tiny and well, he worked out. Which could quite possibly have been one of the traits that had worked to Ryan's advantage when it came time for Summer to chose between him and Seth.

Flashback

Seth came down the stairs and slammed the cereal bowl and a spoon down on the table. It was official he had lost the girl of his dreams and not to some random guy either. He lost her to his brother, none the less.

Summer said she still wanted to be friends, but he wasn't sure how that was going to work. It amazed Seth that Ryan and Marissa were still able to be friends. He figured Ryan really could be just friends with a girl if he didn't in the end want to see the girl with her shirt off.

Seth continued to mope around the house refusing to talk to anyone. Especially if their name started with Ry and ended in an. Caption Oats even got the cold shoulder at some of Seth's low points.

At the beginning Ryan hated seeing his brother and best friend so depressed and not talking to him. He contemplated breaking up with Summer. Then again he didn't want to hurt Summer's feelings. She was more fragile in Ryan's opinion. Like a delicate flower that needed love and care. He figured Seth would get over it faster than Summer would.

Harbor High- The Previous Day

Luckily Ryan didn't have to decide because a little over a week after Summer made her decision a new girl started attending Harbor. Seth immediately fell for her.

She was tall and thin. She had long, straight, strawberry blonde hair and little freckles that slightly decorated her face and body. She was in almost all of his classes so far. The old Seth wouldn't have been so bold to go and talk to her. But Seth was no longer the same, and it was all because of Summer.

He found out from some other girls that her name was Kaleigh and she just moved to Newport from Cincinnati with her mom. From what he could tell so far about her, apart from her parents being recently divorced she was nothing like Summer. She had told Seth that back in Cincinnati she had few friends and didn't like the whole preppy crowd that seemed to rule her school.

After homeroom Seth walked up to her and started talking to her.

"Hi, Seth Cohen" he said introducing himself and outstretching his hand

Kaleigh was busy studying her schedule trying to figure out where to go next. She looked up embarrassed she wasn't paying attention.

"Oh, I'm sorry." Kaleigh tried to switch the weight of all the books she had gotten so far to her left arm". As Kaleigh went to stretch her hand out, her books fell out of her left hand, which they had only been balancing on. She hadn't had enough time to try and find her locker again and make it to class, now she wishes she had.

Kaleigh bent down to pick up the books and looked up to find Seth knelt down to help her. Kaleigh grabbed her books off the floor and Seth handed the last one too her.

"Kaleigh Baxter" she said shaking his hand.

"Finding your way around all right?" Seth asked. He hoped her answer was no she he could volunteer to walk her around.

"Yeah" she felt stupid getting lost. She paused for minute studying Seth's expression. He looked a little disappointed.

"Actually no. This school is much bigger than my last one"

"Can I see you schedule" Seth said motioning to the paper in her hand.

"Sure" handing him the schedule.

"Your schedule is almost identical to mine. Can I walk you to Western Civ."

Kaleigh was glad to have someone who knew their way around guiding her.

Seth wasn't much for heavy lifting but he couldn't resist since he didn't have many books of his own and since she seemed to be having trouble managing all of hers. "Can I carry your books for you"

"Yes, Thank you" handing some but not all of the books to Seth.
