Chapter 3 – Carnival Part Two
Ryan and Seth walked over to the candy floss stand were Summer was standing with a two large candy flosses in her hands waiting. Summer saw Seth walking over with Ryan, she was amazed that he had such a good looking friend with him, this must be Ryan. Seth came over to her and she gave him his candy floss.
"Thank you for the candy floss"
"It's all right"
They started to kiss and it let on to a full kiss, and Seth then said
"So, I have to introduce somebody to you"
"Okay"
Ryan turned to face Summer
"Summer this is Ryan Atwood"
Ryan looked at Summer, his thoughts were mixed up, some how he liked her, but thought it would be best not to say it aloud in front of her boyfriend
"Ah please to meet you" Summer shock his hand and looked in to his ocean blue eyes, no wonder her best friend had found him so hot
Seth started to munch on his candy floss, and was feeling that they were going to get on fine.
"Do you want to go on some rides" Seth asked
"Well I was going to meet Marissa at the ferries wheel for couples ride" Summer answered
"Okay"
The three of them walked over to the wheel were a group of people stood, Ryan could not help thinking on the way there that he would meet Marissa, what he would say to her, appolyise for leaving or would she be cool and carry on where they left off.
Marissa was waiting at the feris wheel looking at it, with a heaving heart, last year her and Luke had a ride there, but she had none to ride with, she had heard rumours that Ryan was here, she was wondering what she would say to him. She saw in the distance what looked to be Seth & Summer, and behind them was Ryan, following.
The gang came together all hugging Ryan staying at the back before he stepped forward and introduced himself
"Hi" his word stumbled out not sure what to say
"So you must be Ryan Atwood" said one of the gang
"Yeah" he answered
"Welcome to harbour High School, should we introduce our self's to you"
Ryan nodded his head
"Right I'm Zach captain of the soccer team, this is my girlfriend Taylor" he pointed out the girl standing next to him
"This is Jonny and Casey, Chilli and Lindsay, Alex and Heather" he pointed out another two couples and two other girls, they all said hi to Ryan and Ryan said hi back to them. Ryan did not know what to do next he looked a little confused and then so said
"So you play for the soccer team"
"Yeah all as guys do apart from Seth"
"Cool" Ryan was thinking what question to ask
"Enjoying carnival" they asked
"Yeah, you know how to start the year"
"Well it was the girls idea to have a start of year carnival and dance, this our second year"
Ryan looked around at all the girls standing there and nodded
"So who wants first go on the wheel"
The group took it in turns to pair up and got on the wheel, the only two people left that were not on the ride where Ryan and Marissa, there eyes meet and he walked towards her and stood there frozen not knowing what to say or do. She sorted of smiled and looked back towards the wheel and was not sure what to say either the silence was interrupted by
"Coop are you going on the wheel or not"
"Well Sum I have to go and talk to somebody"
Summer full knew well this was Ryan
Marissa made short steps over towards Ryan she stopped and he came closer to him. The words were short
"Hi"
"Hi, I was wondering if we could talk"
"Yeah, were do you want to go"
"The parking lot"
"Fine"
They both walked of towards the parking lot following behind each other scared of what would one to say to each other and how it would turn out, after 5 minutes they got to the parking lot to where Marissa's car and sat down by the front of the car
"So you are back"
"Yeah, well we found a house and moved in 2 weeks ago"
"That is good for you; your family can start fresh then"
"Yes, a new school, a new bunch of friends"
"Yeah well hope it works out for you, I have to get back to the carnival"
Marissa got up and walked towards the carnival, she had messed up big time, not for him to say sorry for him going back or surprising her by coming back. She felt like crying or going to say sorry, but she walked back to the carnival and joined her friends and started to shed a tear
Ryan sat by Marissa's car and got out a cigarette and lighted it and start to smoke, she was so cold towards to him, no chance to say sorry to even start back to what they had over the summer holidays.
A while later carnival had finished and Seth & Summer came back to the parking lot to find Ryan sitting by Marissa's car smoking and looking at a photography of her in his wallet, Seth knelled down to were Ryan was and Ryan looked at him
"It did not work out"
"Yeah"
"Sorry man, well do you want to stay the night at mine"
"Yeah my dad won't be home nor my mum, will I need to go home to get some clothes"
"That's fine"
Seth turned to Summer
"Ryan is pretty upset, he is going to stay at mine, I'm sure that Marissa or Taylor will give you a lift home"
"Okay, see you in the morning" they kissed and Summer went of to find her best friend and sister.
Ryan got up and walked with Seth back to his car, they both got in a drove out of the parking lot, back to Ryan's.
Summer went back towards the carnival entrance, standing by the entrance was Taylor and Marissa, Marissa was crying and Taylor was hugging her, she final reached to were she was and Marissa looked at Summer and parted with Taylor
"Oh Coop, I suppose it did not go so well"
"Yeah, I just did not know what to say, nor did he"
"Well that is what is like when you meet a guy that you have not seen in a 2 months"
"Yeah, your right Sum, I think I need to go home"
"Okay, you need to go home"
Then Marissa said goodbye to Summer and went over to her car and got in and drove off, leaving Summer and Taylor standing there
"Well we better get of home to"
The two sisters went over to there car and drove off home.
