-1Chapter 2

THANKS for all the reviews!

Marissa jumped down, out of the van she was in, onto the long driveway. She patted her self down, making sure she looked okay, and then the camera was back on her. She gave a smile, and began to talk to the boys in the other van.

"Well, here I am at house number one…and pool house number 2." She gave a slight giggle. "I guess these two guys are like, half brothers or something. One of them lives in this house" she motioned to Seth's house. "And then, behind this place, is like…a pool house?…Yeah." Then she began walking to the front door.

"She's at our place man." Seth let out.

"Yup. She is. Good observation Seth." he said sarcastically.

"She'll probably go to my room first. Do you think she'll appreciate a man with a horse?" Seth said, while pondering the thought himself, and putting on his thinking face, while putting out his hand, to gesture he wanted feedback to the question.

"A living, breathing, horse, that you can ride and feed, yeah. She'd think it was cute. But a plastic, fake, no breathing horse that's that not even a foot tall…nah. I don't think she'll appreciate it." He laughed, along with Johnny.

"Dude, why do you even have that thing? Its like, for a 5 year old." Johnny wondered aloud, with still laugher in his voice.

"Because…he's my buddy."

"Or, you can be normal and hang with your people friends."

"Well, when I was younger, I had no real people friends. No one liked me. I was a geek. I now, still am a slight geek, well more like a cool guy, with a pinch of geek, but now I have good old Ryan to hang with. Who has in return, gotten me more friends. So…Captain Oats…he is my friend forever. Go ahead, you can laugh." Seth said this all in his usually sarcastic, yet serious, voice, not letting on that Johnny was annoying him.

"Sorry man" Then Marissa spoke up, for all of them to have a reason to forget the current subject, and pay attention to her.

"Okay, I'm in the house." she smiled, letting the camera man shut the door behind her. "It's nice. Big, fancy, comfortable, like all the other houses in Orange County. Its kind of like mine, but I like the familiar, so its good." She walked into the kitchen.

"She likes my house. Sweet." Seth put on a smooth smile.

"So, she likes my house too. Sweet." Ryan fought back.

"Ha, no, you're the pool house. Okay Ryan? Stop trying to ruin my moment."

"Great, my house isn't in the rich part of Cali, she isn't going to enjoy my place." Johnny sighed.

"Yum! Bagels! I LOVE bagels. Their like my favorite breakfast food." She held on to the basket of bagels with a smile. "Mmm… they smell so good."

"Well." Seth said in the van. "If she like bagels, she's at the right house. The Cohen's are bagel people."

"So, is this another point for Ryan too? He's part of the bagel house." Johnny asked, ready for Seth's annoyance.

"Whatever. Maybe. It doesn't matter, the thing that's counts is the room."

"Which she is getting to right now, so shut up." Ryan patted Seth on the back, eyes to the TV.

"My room…" Seth moaned.

"Okay, here is room number one, lets go in and check it out." She walked in his room, eyes first catching attention to the crazy un-heard of posters on his wall. "Wow. I have heard of…about 1 of the bands that are on your wall. I like it, you're an individual. That is so good. Maybe you'll take me to ah…" she looked at a poster above his desk. "Sublime concert?"

"I would take you…if the lead singer wasn't dead." Seth laughed a little.

"She really doesn't know the band then."

"Well…the bed. It has to be comfortable." She laid down on his bed, then turned to look at his side table. "It's okay. Not my dream bed. What's this?" She sat up, and grabbed Captain Oats. "Okay…what are you, like 5 or 6?" she laughed.

"At heart, yes. I am like 5 or 6. Those were the good years…having 'The Nana' watch me, and I remember-" he was cut off by Johnny.

"We don't need any trips down memory lane."

"I don't know about this. I need a guy who can be manly and protect me. If your still playing with this…"she gave an uneasy face. "We have a few problems." She got up. "Well…lets take a quick look in your closet. I don't want some gangsta guy." she walked over to his closet, and opened the door. To start looking through the clothes. She took out a shirt and let out a small laugh. "Okay…gangster is one thing….but grandpa? No." She put the brown and green sweater vest back on the hanger. "I'll put that back, and hope it never comes off the hanger again."

"She doesn't like your grandpa style? Who would have thought?" Ryan chuckled.

"I can see. And my grand-, I mean, my un-old person style is good. She's just not ready for the Sethy Style."

"Sethy Style?" Ryan and Johnny both laughed.

"Ah, whatever."

"Okay room number one, what is in your side table drawer? Love notes? Condoms? Pictures of the Grandfather you soon hope to become? Lets check it out."

"I don't like her." Seth said in monotone, while the others just got a kick out of his torture.

Marissa got on her knees, and opened the drawer. "Hmmm…do you really have a love note?" she pulled out a folded piece of lined paper, and unfolded it.

"Oh…damn. Please, put it back."

"Why? What is it?" Johnny asked.

"Lets see…oh…my…god… Not a love note. Definitely not a love note." She laughed. "Hey Seth, her are the porno sites. Enjoy." she read off the paper, as the guys, except Seth had a good laugh in the van, along with Marissa. "Ha, Oh my god. These are getting putt back in the drawer.

"Seth…wow!" Ryan laughed.

"I hope my mom doesn't watch the show…or my dad. My dad will just ask if I want anymore porn sites given to me."

"Okay, besides porn sites, there's lotion, and a couple dollars. Nothing much else. Not even condoms. That's cool. You a virgin? Ha, just kidding. Well, since I'm down here, lets take a looked under the bed."

"Ha…virgin…what is she…out of her mind?" Seth said, playing it "cool" in his mind.

"But Seth…" Ryan started to say.

"Just shut up Pool house. Its your turn next."

"Nice ass" Johnny said out loud.

Marissa was bending down to look under the bed, giving the guys, and the rest of the world watching, a good look at her butt. "Nothing under here. Good boy." She got up, and look around. "I think I've seen everything. Except…what's this?" She looked at the drawing on his desk. "Did you draw this? This is awesome. Like, its wonderful. Your very talented. It says by Seth Cohen. That must be you. This is great. This is an awesome drawing of a girl. She looks beautiful."

"See, my drawing. She likes it. Point for Seth."

"Well, I guess I'm done here. Next to the pool house."

Hope you liked it. I kind'a don't feel like I did so good on this chapter. Hopefully the next will be better. Please review!
