A/N: Hey Guys, well due to popular demand I will answer all the little questions you guys had in your reviews. And this one is a big one.
1) The Amber/Justin romance is not incest. Although Seth and Ryan are LIKE Brothers they aren't actually related. Trust me.
2) Kyle (the new kid at school) has nothing to do with Oliver.
But thank you all for the wonderful reviews though. A girl can never have enough reviews.
Chapter 3: Kyle
Amber POV
Harbor High was basically the school for people whose parent's could afford it, unless you were here on a scholarship. But if that was the case we always knew who it was. It was usually the person who didn't send there weekend shopping at South Coast and had the Wal Mart brand name clothes and accessories.
Unfortunately, Kyle was one of those people.
Although Kyle was a different kind of scholarship kid. He probably never set foot in a Wal Mart. Kyle had short light brown hair that was very similar to my fathers in a very odd way. He had piercing green eyes though. He was pretty short for his age and he and I were probably the same height. He wore whatever his mother put in his closet, and that was usually Hurley or Volcom and in included Dickies. His mother worked at the local Tilly's and got stuff for cheap there.
I was sitting in the café with my coffee when Kyle showed up on Monday morning before classes. "Hey."
"Hi." I responded as he sat opposite of me.
"So did you have a good weekend?" Kyle asked me.
"Pretty much, mostly I just hung at Justin's house. You?"
"Nothing exciting to report." Kyle sighed.
"That's good. So I just have a question, why did you switch schools at the end of the year?" I asked.
"Oh well, my mom decided to move back to California. I originally was in Florida and my mom thought it would be best, for my education that is. At least that's what she is telling me." Kyle answered.
"Oh, well here." I pulled an invitation out from my binder and handed it to him. "It's my birthday party in a couple of weeks. But you understand Newport by now. You have to have the date set or someone else steals it."
"Yeah." Kyle said running his eyes over the invitation. "So basically it is in a week from Saturday, is that your real birthday though?"
"Hell no, my birthday is the Thursday before. And I am not having it on a school night." I replied.
"Hey babe." I heard from behind me. I turned and saw Justin coming towards us.
"Don't you guys find it odd that you can be totally public with your relationship at school but at home your living a lie?" Kyle asked.
"Slighty." Justin answered as he sat down next to me. His hand easily found its way into mine."But we are planning on tell our parents soon."
"Good luck with that." Kyle whispered.
"Thanks Kyle." I spoke up.
"Don't mention it, so what are we doing after school?" Kyle asked.
Hanging at my house is always a treat expesically because Kyle hasn't seen my place yet. The minute he walked in you could tell he was amazed. "You live here?" he asked.
"Yeah, my Dad designed it just for my mom." I replied. "So you wanna see the rest of the mansion of do you just want to head up to my room?"
"This place is huge. Your Dad did it for you?" Kyle mumbled still in awe.
"Amber!" I heard from the kitchen followed by footsteps that became louder. "About this birthday party thing-" she began but then stopped as she set eyes on Kyle.
"Mom?" I asked. "I hope you don't mind I invited Justin and Kyle. Kyle this is my mother."
"Pleasure to meet you Mrs. Atwood." Kyle said stretching out a hand.
My mom shook it and pulled away. "Mom what's wrong, its just the new kid."
"Nothing. I'll talk to you later." My mom left the room without another word.
"That was, creepy. I've never seen your mother like that." Justin said.
"Neither have I." I said.
Marisa POV
It was like looking in a mirror to the past. That eye, those eyes, that smile! I knew this wasn't just some coincedence. This wasn't some funny thing were you can look back at it and say, 'Hey, remember when Amber brought home that friend who looked just like you Ry?'
I walked back to the back room where there was a love sofa with Ryan on one side and a TV in front of him. I walked in there and grabbed the remote from the coffee table between the two of them and flicked the TV off.
"Hey, I was watching that!" Ryan protested.
"You'll never believe what our daughter brought home." I began.
"A dog?" Ryan asked.
"A new friend, and he looks, just, like, you." I said.
"What are you talking about?" Ryan asked getting up from his seat.
"I mean, that Amber, our daughter, brought home a new friend and when I saw him, it was like looking at the past when we were in school." I explained.
"Your overacting." Ryan said trying to grab the remote again.
"No, you have to see this, it is unbelievable." I spoke a little louder.
"Fine, we'll have it your way." Ryan led the way upstairs and through the twists and turns in the upstairs hallway to Amber's bedroom. I could already here laughing from the other side of the door before Ryan even opened it. Amber was laying on her stomach, on her bed. Justin was sitting in her blue chair by her bookshelf and Kyle was sitting in the built in seat to the wall by Amber's window.
Ryan bore the same expression that I did when I first met Kyle. It was like looking in a mirror to the past.
"Dad?" Amber asked.
"Whose the new guy?" Ryan managed to get out.
"This is Kyle, he just moved here." Amber answered.
"Where from?" Ryan asked Kyle.
"Florida. My mom wanted to move back home." Kyle spoke up.
"Whose your mom?" Ryan asked.
"Her first name is Theresa."
"Oh my god." I let out.
Now, I want to respond to all my wonderful reviewers.
lauren alderson: I think they are a great couple too, and realize that when you say soon in the O.C., it doesn't always happen as planned.
gerardsfurturewife: I think that everyone besides Marisa is an only child. Remember that Catilin, Marisa's sister is in boarding school. But Ryan has a brother, who Marisa killed. Gosh is everything this ironic?
forgottenletters: I hope this new chapter answered your question. And I am surprised that this story is doing so well itself.
iluvryan: I love that song so much. I got the new All-American Rejects new CD and it is awesome, I recommend it for anyone.
dogsbody: Did ya read above? Hopefully. Love your review though, it made me giggle.
kursk: I can't wait to write on how they find out they are going out. Oh, the drama! THE FUN!
Anyways, a message to you peoples, I would love to wake up tomorrow morning and see 20 reviews in my mailbox, so do what you can. Thank you.
