Chapter 4

On the commercial, as Marissa sat in the backseat of the van, while driving to room number three, she read the paper she found in the Ryan's room. It was five pages long, and it said so many things about Ryan, and so many feelings he had. When they arrived at room number three, she'd just finished reading it. She took a deep breath, and thought for a moment about it. This was her kind of guy she thought. She knew she still had one more room left, and it would be fun to go through it, and embarrass the guy, and find weird and cool things. But she knew even if she loved the next room, she loved room number two. She loved Ryan's paper "about me". She thought what Ryan might look like. He had to be strong and muscular, and probably well toned. By the way of the paper, he didn't seem to cocky or into him self. Then when her thoughts were just getting detailed, the camera man opened the door, and told her it was time for the next room. She got out of her daze, and followed him to the door of the house of room number three. This house wasn't like most of the houses in Orange County. In fact, this whole neighbor hood seemed like a lower class. Marissa didn't care, her, her self lived with Summer, while her mom lived in a trailer park. She knew things could be hard, even in the O.C. Then the camera's were on.
"Hey Guys. I'm at room number three, and I'm excited, but I just have to give you an update, I read room number two's "about me" paper." she smiled. "Anyway, lets go in this place."

"This fuckin sucks. She read the paper. She's gonna think I'm…I dunno. I do know I'm not getting picked"
"Well Ryan, she thinks I'm a grandpa look-a-like, so I guess Johnny is the lucky one." "Yeah…well…" Johnny trailed off. "Ha…" he realized what Seth said and laughed. "Grandpa look-a-like…ha…"

"I like the house. Its comforting." she always kept on a smile, while walking to the room. Johnny, in the van, knew her saying it was 'comforting' was the only thing she could say about his small, broken down place.

Marissa walked to his room and opened the door.
"Small." she let out. She thought she'd said it in her head, but no, it was out loud. She didn't want to hurt room number three's feelings. She knew he lived in this part of town, of course his room wouldn't be big.
"I mean…it's smaller then the others, but still, nice….Except…what is that pile of clothes on the floor…yuck. Put your clothes in a washer sweetie." she giggled. She walked over to her desk and sat down on the padded chair. She noticed the guitar resting against the desk. "You play guitar?" she asked the camera, and picked it up. "I love guys who can play instruments." she strummed it once. "Maybe you can serenade me?" she smirked.

"Ha…yeah right. I can serenade you if your name is Mary and you have a little lamb…because that's all I can play"
"Why do you have it?" Seth asked.
"My mom gave it to me as a birthday present, I couldn't give it back."

"Here, I'll play you a little tune." she strummed the guitar, not actually playing a song, and not even knowing what she was doing, and she sang "Room number threeeee….Oh I bet he is sexeeee….I might pick theeee…." she laughed. "Obviously I need some practice…" she put the guitar back and got up. "I see you have a T.V in your room." The T.V was plastered with stickers of surfing and skateboarding companies. "What do you got in there for a movie?"

"Oh no…shit!" Johnny said as Marissa kneeled down and pressed play, to see a porn movie playing. Ryan and Seth both started laughing. "Oh man!" Seth laughed.

"Ahh!" she put out her hand and covered the screen. "Enough." she turned the T.V off. "Don't you have anything else to watch?" Then she laughed. "Guys and porn." She stood up. "A surf board. Cool. I've always kind's wanted to learn. Maybe you can teach me." she stumbled over some clothes on the floor while she was going to his dresser. " Okay… this whole dirty clothes everywhere thing is annoying."

"Sorry… I'm kind'a sloppy I guess…" Johnny said.
"Then I don't think you're her kind of guy…she seems very clean and organized." Seth said. "But then again…me and Ryan don't seem to be her kind either. I mean, us grandpa's were clean, organized, but we go to bed mad early." "Shut up. Your not a grandpa." Ryan just wanted him to stop talking, so he could focus on the T.V. Johnny laughed, and then a few seconds later Ryan laughed too.

Marissa opened up his top drawer on his dresser, and saw a lot of boxers of all different colors. "Wow. Lots of pretty different colors." she took out a pair with four leaf clovers on them, then a pair with monkeys. "Cute." Then she took out a pair with strawberries on them. "Strawberries huh?" she giggled. She put them back and took out another pair that were red and said hello kitty all over them. "Okay…that's really weird…" she made a face and put them away.

"Good, enough with the boxers. But, you got some good one's man." Seth told Johnny. "Ah, thanks"
"Yeah, those Hello Kitty ones are so cool." Ryan said sarcastically.
"My old girlfriend Ally have them to me. She loved Hello kitty." Johnny said in his defense.

"What's the bed like?" she sat down on it. "This is actually a really comfy bed…I love it." she started bouncing on it a little. "Bouncy too." she smirked. "Well, I'm sure you guys know, after I try the bed out, I look in the bedside table drawer." she pulled open the drawer and took out a Hello Kitty pen. "Okay…wow… what does this mean?"

"Man…what does that mean"
"It's all Ally"
"Ally? Is that what you call your feminine side?" Seth laughed.
"My old girlfriend!."

"Besides that…there's lubricant." she grinned. "Okay, there's just boring-ness, I mean besides the gay-ness, ya know, the Hello Kitty stuff."

"Damn. Do I look gay"
"You would, but we already saw the non gay porn, remember?" Seth exclaimed.

"I'm gonna look under the mattress." She got off the bed and lifted the mattress up and bit, and pulled out a magazine. "More porn. You have a playboy. Well I'm putting that back, I mean eww… you probably touched it after…eww!" she didn't finish the sentence and placed the magazine back in his place. She stood up and looked at the camera. "Well guys, I'm sure you've seen the show before, and usually the girl get half naked in one of the rooms, ya know to try on a pair of shorts, or a shirt. So, I wanted to keep the tradition going…

"Yes!" Seth said.

"But, all the clothes here are dirty and covered in hello kitty. So sorry guys."

"Why did you ruin it for us?" Ryan asked.
"I don't know"
"Well, room number three is over, so I'll be back after picking a decision. See you in a minute guys!"
