"Damn, Cohen" Ryan grumbled while looking for the orange juice. He couldn't go to sleep after Seth had asked that weird question. He would never think of Summer that way. She was Seth's girl besides she was kind of whiney which was annoying. But also kind of cute.

'What the hell are you talking about?! She's Summer!'

Ryan started mentally beating himself up. Getting out the juice he got a glass, and a bagel.

'Thank God Sandy and Kirsten are out of town cause he'd be nagging me about eating his bagels'

He sat down behind the counter and picked up a comic book that Seth had lying around. Then his mind started wondering about Marissa. Technically they weren't dating but they weren't friends.

So he was free to date anybody he wanted and so was she. It was weird but he wanted to be with someone else besides Marissa. But he wanted her bad. He was deep in thoughts when somebody surprised him.

"What are you doing up at this late hour?" Seth asked making Ryan jump. On his face was huge grin.

"Late? It's only 12:30."replied Ryan checking the clock

"You went to bed early. Cause you haven't slept for the last two days." Seth said sitting down "And it's a Friday night you aren't generally home about now."

Ryan drank up his juice and set it down "Cause it's fall break. And I'm feeling very tired."

"Then how come you aren't in bed?"

Ryan glared at him "You woke me and now I can't go to sleep."

"Good point," Seth got up off the chair "Wanna play a couple of games? To get you awake again?" He pointed to the family room.

Ryan shrugged "Why not? It's not like I have anything better to do."

15 minutes later

"OH! I won yet again! I am the reigning champion!" shouted Ryan while Seth was sulking on the floor

"I think I liked you better when you sucked." Seth said hopelessly.

"Up for another game?" asked Ryan smirking

Seth looked at him and agreed. After a while of playing the game

Ryan decided to ask Seth something.

"Uh, Seth?"

"Yeah?"

"Well, I wanted to know the status of you and Summer. Are you guys going good or in the decision of breaking up?" he asked

"I guess we're going good why?"

"I just wanted to know. Umm, do you think she'd ever cheat on you?"

"I hope not? Why are you asking all these questions? I didn't ask much about you and Marissa." Seth was curious.

"No, particular reason just random. Do you think she'd ever break up with you?" Ryan said

"How the hell would I know?"

"No, sorry I'm getting kinda sleepy."

A couple of moments silence was broken by Seth's shouting "I beat you! YES! Finally! You're winning streak is over!"

"Good for you . . .I think I'm gonna go to bed. I'm getting sleepier by the minute." Said Ryan

They said their goodnights and went opposite directions.

Seth once again plunked down on his bed and this time went to sleep. On the other hand Ryan got to his bed and was tossing and turning til he finally went to sleep. While he was sleeping he had the weirdest dream.

"Hey,Marissa! How are you?" Seth asked as Marissa walked into the Cohen house.

"Great, have you seen Ryan?"

"No, but he's supposed to be having some kinda meeting after school." He answered while flipping through his comic book.

Marissa walked to the couch on which Seth was sitting and sat down to. "Oh, where's your parents?"

"At work they both said their gonna be working late."

Marissa moved closer to Seth. "How sad your parents are working, Ryan's at school, and Summer's shopping with the painkiller bitch. I'm feeling kinda lonely." Marissa looked at Seth.

Seth got the signal. "Yeah, I'm feeling kinda tired wanna come?"

Marissa grinned "Why Seth I'd thought you'd never ask."

Ryan woke up although he didn't panic cause he knew Seth would never do that with Marissa. Or at least he thought so . . .
