Thanks again for the reveiws!!!

Seth walked back into the family room after saying good bye to Marissa

Ryan (unhappy face) : are you going to see her again tomorrow?

Seth: Yes I am why? you jealous?

Ryan: I'm not jealous, I just dont want Marissa to think you like her more than you love Summer by

hanging out with her alot

Seth: I told Marissa I had a girlfriend but I think Summer would'nt mind me hanging out with Marissa,

It's just like showing her around Newport

Ryan: Oh, you like her? I mean more than a friend?

Seth: I like her as a friend besides she has a boyfriend, and I got Summer too, so do you like her?

Ryan: well when I'm with girls I dont usually get the feeling i like them but when i see Marissa,

I don't know i feel like i could connect with her

Seth: whoa you got feelings for her?

Ryan (embrassed): forget it (walking away from him)

Seth: Hmmm...

Jimmy, Julie and Marissa went out to a restuarant

Jimmy: How did you go with your new friends?

Marissa: good, they are nice people, I met Kirsten and her husband Sandy

Julie: You've both met our new neighbours n i have'nt?

Jimmy (laughs): you will meet them soon, Marissa do you like Seth?

Marissa: As a friend he's alright, remember that I have a boyfriend Dad,

besides he's got a girlfriend too

Jimmy: oh I did'nt know Seth had a girlfriend, I know its going to be hard with you and

James being apart for so long, Can you live

with that?

Marissa: look dad, we can always try doing this together but Seth is only a friend!

Julie: Does he have brother's or any sister's?

Marissa: one brother and no sister, I met his brother Ryan, he's also a nice guy

Jimmy: Ryan? interesting name does he have a girlfriend?

Marissa (shrugs):I dont know, look let's not discuss this here okay?

Jimmy/Julie: fine (continue eating)

After the restuarant, they went home and Marissa's parents went to bed except

Marissa who stayed up talking to James!

Marissa: guess what James? I like Newport, my parents bought a beautiful mansion,

my dad's very happy

with his work, Mum's looking for another job, I'm going to school in 2 more days and

I don't know if I could ever find friends like you guys!

James: listen, I'm sure you are going to make heaps of friends i mean look at you,

you're a beauiful and very friendly girl everyone will love you besides you got me,

tell the boys they can't have you.

Marissa (laughs): okay, I got two friends so far, they are from next door and their names

are Ryan and Seth, they are brothers

James interruped her!

James: boys?, no girl..I hope they are not chasing after you

Marissa: No they are not after me and they are just friends besides Seth's got a girlfriend

but I dont know about Ryan, I'm pretty sure he's got one , he's good-looking.

James (phew): good at least they've got girlfriends

Marissa: I'm going to school in the next 2 days to find more friends that are girls you happy?

hows your school?

James: nothing much without you, I feel alone at school but I still play with guys,

but you know some guys are making out

with girls but not me um. you know Katie, Stacey, Emily,and Lisa are organzing a party,

a farewell party for Stacey because Stacey is moving to New Zealand next week and well...

I was wondering if you wanted to come to the party with us,

I'm sure Stacey would be delighted to see you again before she goes.

Marissa: what next week? I did'nt know Stacey was moving to Nz why?

James: Stacey has found her real parents in NZ, she want's to spend time with them and

then after a year she will come back and return to her adopted parents.

Marissa: finally after two years she found her real parents that's good, I will try to make it,

If my parents let me! They probably will cause Stacey is one of my

best friends and I want to see you again

James: do you think you will be able to make it, I really do...I miss you, ...miss your kiss,

miss your hugs, miss your, you know?

Marissa: yeah same here, I will try but dont tell Stacy about it, I dont want her to know,

If my dad says yes, I want to surprise her

James: that's a great idea, I wont tell her!

Marissa: I will tell my dad but right now he's sleep, I will call you tomorrow with news, I must go now

James: okay take care, I love you sweetheart bye

Marissa: I love you too bye

she hangs up and sighs, thinking bout how much she misses all her friends and James,

she really want's to go, hoping her dad will let her go, will she go or not?

I will have to wait and see what he says she thought!!

Next Morning...

Seth (pretending to be sick): Ryan, you'll have to show Marissa around Newport

Ryan: I thought you were going with her what's wrong with you? (see's him put an ice pack on his head)

Seth: I got a bad headache, I dont want her to see me like this, can you please go with her

Ryan: I guess so, um Kirsten can I borrow your car I'm taking Marissa to show her around Newport

Kirsten: of course you can (she handed him car keys) be nice to her okay?

Ryan (smiled): I will thank you

Seth: Hey Ryan, when you get back you tell me everything okay?

Ryan: SETH I wont, good bye (walking away)

Seth sighs

Ryan was walking towards Marissa's front door, she thinks it's Seth

she opens the door

Marissa: Hello Seth, (she sees Ryan), oh oops, Hi Ryan I was expecting Seth, where is he?

They stare at each other and break out laughing

Ryan :Hi, Seth is not coming he has a bad headache, so I'm taking his place is that

okay with you?

Marissa:Yeah that's fine I hope he's allright, lets go now (they walk to his car)

Ryan opens the car door to let her into the passanger seat and walks around to sit in the driver's seat, they

drove to the pier, baitshop, diner, crabshack, newport group building, shopping mall and lifeguard stand

Ryan: that's it, that's all I can think of...what do you think of the places i showed you?

after stopping at the beach carpark they are still sitting in the car and talking each other

Marissa: wow, thank you for showing me all the places, I only went to one place a restuarant that

my parents took me to last night but you showed me more of the places around here

Ryan (laughs): I'm sure your parents will show you more later you have only been here for two days

Marissa: I know, one thing I have not seen yet

Ryan: What's that?

Marissa: The school i am going to in 2 days

Ryan: which school are you going to? (he's hoping she's going to the same school as him)

Marissa: my mom said something with Newport... um...I think newport harbor school

Ryan: that's my school, fanastic you, me and seth are going to the same school

Marissa: I think that's cool, do you like your school?

Ryan: Our school's okay, boring stuff you know, I mostly hang out with seth, summer, luke and holly

(Marissa thinks Holly must be his girlfriend)

Marissa: wow like a group gang, I do that in New York, I hang with James, Stacey, Lisa, Emily, Katie,

John and Peter everyday, they are all my best friends

Ryan: mmm you miss them?

Marissa looked up into his eyes and nodded with sad face

Marissa: I got a call from James last night he told me that my friend Stacey is moving to NZ soon

so everyone want's me to go back to New York for Stacey's farewell party next week, I havent told my dad yet!

Marissa doesnt know why she is talking openly to him about her life, James and her friends, she thinks she can trust him

Ryan: oh sorry to hear about your friend but I'm sure your dad will be happy to let you go because you and

Stacey have been friends for a long time

Marissa: I guess so, I will have to tell him tonight though

Marissa looks down and up again at him again

Marissa with a happy face: thanks for tipping, I feel good now

Ryan: well, its time to go home now, your mom is probably worried about you

Marissa: good idea, my mom always freak out when I'm late

They burst out laughing, they start heading home!

Arrvied at the Cohen's mansion

when Ryan's car got there, he ran around and opened the door to let her out and closed the door

Marissa: thank you for everything, it was so fun, I actually enjoyed myself

Ryan: I'm glad you had fun riding all day, maybe next time I'll take you more further than Newport

Marissa: you dont have to do this for me, but I had a good time.

Ryan: Well cya l8r

Marissa: oh okay thanks

Julie heard the car so she walked to the front door and saw them, she yelled out across her house to Ryan's house

Julie: Marissa thank god, you're about to miss dinner

Marissa (shout): MOM, this is Ryan and well.. Ryan this is my mom

Julie: Hi Ryan, pleased to meet you, excuse me I have to get back and check the oven Marissa, dont be long

Ryan: Hi, Nice to meet you

Marissa: Mom, I wont be long, (mom walking away)

Ryan: well you better go and I'm going inside now

Marissa: okay, thanks once again for everything, see ya later

Ryan: sure later (he's disappointed wanting to see her again tomorrow)

Marissa nodded with a smile, walking towards her home, Ryan watched her walk to her house until she finally got inside

he smiled to himself and was happy, he sighs, hoping not to see Seth once he's inside because of Seth's blabbing

Julie places three dinner plates on the table

Julie: did you have a good time with Ryan?

Marissa: yup, he showed me around newport, some places are interesting mmm

mom dad I have to talk to you both, James rang me last night asking me to go

New York for Stacey's farewell party, you remember her (Julie/Jimmy nodded), well she is moving

to New Zealand, so can I go please please

Jimmy (sighs): well I'll let you go but on one condition you are not staying at James's place, I want you to

stay at your grandma's, plus it's for next weekend only okay?

Marissa: why cant I stay at James's?

Jimmy: its because you are a girl and hes a boy, you know you both are too young to be sleeping

together, I dont trust you I almost caught you guy's

Marissa: I promise I wont do it again

Jimmy: no the answer is no, I mean it otherwise you are not going

Marissa (argues):FINE!! I will go to grandma's, happy now? walking off leaving unfinished dinner

Julie is about to go after her but Jimmy grabbed her arms

Jimmy: let her go, she will calm down

Julie sighs: okay

one hour later

Jimmy checked on her

Jimmy: Marissa, can we please talk?

Marissa (look up at him): fine

Jimmy: I dont like how we had to fight, I'm just worried you are too young to have sex what if you get

pregnant by accident sometimes the condoms dont work

Marissa: what about birth controls that is 99 percent safe, better than a condom

Jimmy: you really want have sex with James?

Marissa: I already had sex with him at his place

Jimmy: what? you had sex with him, when?

Marissa: just before we came here, can we not talk about it I'm already embrassed talking about sex with you

Jimmy: promise me you'll stay at grandmas, but umm about the sex I'll talk to your mom and see if we can take

you to the doctor to get some pills, to make sure its caution (he knew he's very soft on her)

Marissa (happy face): thank you I promise I'll stay at grandma's, I love you dad, you mean alot to me (she hugged him)

Jimmy (sighs):good, I'm going to buy a plane ticket for you tomorrow, you can fly out next week and I want

you go to the doctor with your mom about this okay?

There will be a HUGE cliffhanger in the next chapter
