SILVER SPRINGS (ryan atwood)

Currently erika was laying on her stomach, her eyes bouncing between marissa and summer. "You're going." Summer stated, crossing her arms over her chest. Erika huffed looking over at Marissa ''I can't help you. Don't look at me" she frowned sympathetically. Erika pushed herself up "I don't even have a dress'' She said smugly, shooting Summer a smirk. Summer paused with a smile growing on her face "you can try on all the dresses!!" She exclaimed, Marissa stepped forward pulling on Erika's arms "actually E I put aside the perfect dress for you!" Marissa smiled "Fine" Erika groaned standing up.

Marissa drove them to the country club, where all the dresses were being kept. As the trio walked through the front door they made their way to the front desk, Marissa stepped up to the lady "Hey i called earlier? Pick-Up for Marissa Cooper" She said handing the lady a piece of paper.

Erika feels a tap on her shoulder, whirling around she spots Ryan "Oh Hey" She smiled surprised, Ryan returned her smile with a small quirk of his lips "Hey...picking up your dress?" he motioned towards marissa who was standing behind her with two white dresses. Erika's response was cut short by Marissa approaching "What are you doing here?" She glared "I uh- had an appointment with my personal shopper" Ryan shifted uncomfortably "you're still here?" Erika butted in "Ya...things with my mom didn't really work out so I'm kinda living with the Cohen's' ' Ryan said, turning back towards her. Marissa walked beside Erika "For good?" She raised a brow.

Ryan's eyes bounced between the two girls "Is that, going to be a problem?" His blue eyes settled on Erika. Who glanced towards Marissa who had gone silent "No that's awesome" She beamed up at him.

Summer walked up to the three, "Hey Rik, try on your dress" Summer told her, linking their arms. Luke also joined the group "What are you still doing here?" He spat, possessively putting an arm around Marissa "Don't be an ass" Erika glared at him Ignoring her Luke continued "I thought you were going back to Chino" he pressed. Ryan shook his head "I had a change of plans" He frowned "Ryan's living here now" Marissa told her boyfriend "Hes what!" Luke exclaimed "Calm down Luke, god you'll burst a blood vessel." Erika's forest green eyes locked with Ryan's as she offered him a half smile.

Ryan ducked his head low before speaking "Look man, i'm not here to cause any problems' ' He spoke honestly and Kirsten walked up cutting off the inevitable tantrum Luke was about to throw. "Is everything all right?' she asked worriedly "everythings fine, luke was just leaving." She shot Luke a look, watching him give Marissa a peck on the head before walking off.

Kirsten turned and motioned for her son to join the group "Marissa. I was going to call you. Since you're lead deb,I wanted to introduce you to a couple of white knights. In case any of your girls need a last minute escort.'' She gestured to Seth and ryan. Summer smirked at her sister, " Every girl needs a white knight." she nudged erika, "Seth Cohen white knight" he smiled at Summer who rolled her eyes at him turning towards Ryan "So, uh, you'll be at the rehearsal." She glanced towards her sister then back to Ryan raising her eyebrows suggestively.

Seth not catching her meaning grinned "yes absolutely" He nodded fast "Great,Lets go" summer said tugging on her sisters hand. Erika left with one last smile towards the Blonde Boy.

Now in a changing room Erika turned to face the two girls with an uneasy smile on her face "So...?" She trailed off "You look gorgeous" Summer leapt up hugging her sister.

Marissa looked at Summer "You...want me to fix you up with ryan? I thought-" She asked hesitantly, glancing between the twins. "What? No! I want you to help me fix him and Rik up, Duh.'' Summer laughed "Lets not get ahead of ourselves here" Erika mumbled unsurely "Hey you called dibs, it's my twinly duty to help you get your man." Summer pointed at her. "Don't push Sum" Erika shook her head.
