Ryan woke up early that morning, and pushed the covers off his toned body. He swung his feet off the side of the bed and stood up to stretch. He walked over to his dresser and pulled out a pair of running shorts. He pulled them on over his boxers, and tied up his running shoes. He stepped out into the California air and took it all in. he looked up at the house. He hated being here. he hated his father telling him how to live his life, and he hated that he let him run it for him.
Ryan grew angry, so instead he ran. He ran to alleviate all the pressure and frustration that had overcome him. He ran a good 10 miles before he got home. He looked over at the clock that read 6:30am. He quickly hopped into the shower, and then jogged back into the kitchen. He found Dan sitting on the island reading the paper and drinking his morning coffee.
Da: "Morning. Are you ready for practice?"
Ry: "yes." Ryan said, being very short.
Da: "well you could have done some more weight lifting the other day. And you should really go on a protein shake breakfast routine."
Ry: "I know what I'm doing."
Da: "you sure? Because this is big. You can't blow it, because your to stubborn."
Ry: "Actually its your big thing. Id rather be an 18 year old kid, not a pro basketball player."
Da: "you know how many kid would kill to be in your spot!" Dan said yelling.
Ry: "ya its seems like this perfect thing, but its not!" Ryan yelled as he grabbed his basketball bag and headed out to practice.
Marissa woke up early that morning and decided to go head to the beach. When she went to the beach she usually drove about 20 mins away to the Laguna Beaches. They were quieter, and she didn't know anyone there. She hopped out of the car and walked up to a lifeguard stand. She sat down and looked out as the waves splashed over the sand. She looked out and saw a lone person running along the beach. He was very tan, and toned. He had on blue running shorts, and he was shirtless. He ran, like he was caught up in his own thoughts. He ran fast, jogging along the quite beach.
Marissa smiled as she watched him run. She couldn't help but wonder if he had a girl friend, or where he was running to. All of a sudden it hit her. She stood up and squinted her eyes to get a better look. It was Ryan Atwood. He was in her favorite movie the Notebook! He looked so hot in that movie Marissa thought. She watched him run until his perfect body disappeared.
Trey was hanging out with Arturo. It was early in the morning and they were standing around Arturo's driveway fixing his car. Arturo was a lot older than Trey, he was 19, just a little older than Ryan.
Trey thought of Ryan. Even though, he was the one to get kicked out he felt bad for Ryan. IT was even worse that Dan had taken to Ryan. He had been trying to male him exactly how he wished he could have been. Ryan was so much better than him. He missed Ryan. Ryan would always protect him when Dan yelled, and he would help him out and care for him. He knew Ryan wanted to help, but he really just wanted Ryan to live how he wanted. Trey knew that once he got out of Dan's grip Ryan would do such great things.
Ar: "yo! Wake up man! Did you hear anything I said?"
Tr: "oh ya…that car?"
Ar: "ya, I want it. Be here by 1am tomorrow and were going to get it for me ok?" Arturo laughed.
Tr: "ok sure." Even though Trey didn't want to help Arturo steal the car, he knew he had to. Arturo was the only person he could stay with down here, and he was the only person he could count on until Ryan came and got him. He knew Ryan would come and help him out.
