As soon as Ryan walked into the party the girls were all over him. Especially Holly who would not leave his side. She had already had a few drinks in her and all Ryan wanted to do was ditch her. He and Seth walked outside. Maybe Holly wont come out here, Ryan thought.
Ry: "So you ever been to a party like this?"
Se: "no. this is about the first time I ever have left my house."
Ry: "Right. You're a homebody?"
Se: "yup. Oh and by the way what's with you and Brook just being friends?"
Ry: "we broke up. Tonight. And we are just friends. It worked out great."
Se: "Well that's good. I heard you telling her about Hawaii."
Ry: "ya…I decided to go. It's a once in a lifetime opportunity, and it can open a lot of doors for me. I'm also looking for my mom, so that when I leave she can watch Addison."
Se: "You know my parents would love to have her stay with us."
Ry: "Ya I know. But I can't ask them to do it."
Se: "the other day I heard them say something about adopting you and Addison. How cool would that be! Wed be Brothers you could protect me buddy! No more water polo players peeing in my shoes!"
Ry: "I graduated already."
Se: "ok so you wouldn't be with me my senior year to protect me but theyd be living in fear of you!"
Ry: "Right….if I'm here."
Se: "you plan on leaving?"
Ry: "I'm going to see what Hawaii has to offer."
Se: "right. So when's the pipeline?"
Ry: "almost 2 months."
Se: "so when are you leaving?"
Marissa just walked outside to hear the last thing Seth said.
Ma: "leaving? Where you going?"
Ry: "I'm leaving for Hawaii in 2 weeks. Ill be there about 2 months."
Ma: "for what?"
Ry: "for the biggest surfing competition ever. Its where the pros are made."
Ma: "that's impressive congrats."
Ry: "thanks."
Ryan and Marissa smiled at each other. 2 weeks, Marissa thought. That means I don't have much time to make things work between us. Seth feeling the connection between Marissa and Ryan decided to make a break for it.
Se: "well I'm going to go and find summer."
Ma: "Seth! Can you do me a favor? She's pretty wasted. Can you drive her home?"
Se: "ohh ya sure."
Seth was ecstatic! Even if it was bring a drunken Summer home it was something. Maybe she would talk to him later and thank him. And maybe since Ryan and Marissa seemed to be getting along, then maybe Seth and summer could hang out. After all Summer was Marissa's best friend, and Ryan may become Seth's brother if his parents went along with the adoption. This was Turing out to be a great summer Seth thought.
