Summer Roberts opened her locker with a sigh. Her first day of her senior year was not going like she thought it would. But who was she to think that this year would be different? Ever since she moved to Newport in seventh grade, it's like she's been an outcast. No one ever paid attention to Summer, only Marissa Cooper, but she tried to make every day of Summer's life a living hell.

Summer looked down at her schedule sheet and saw that she has gym next. Great, just what I need a bunch of girls watching me fall on my face while I try to hit a volleyball. She thought to herself. Summer quickly looked in her locker mirror and adjusted the glasses on her face. She closed her locker and headed down the hallway to the gym. As she was walking she saw everyone talk about their summers to one another. No one even asked Summer how her break was. Not that it was interesting; she just read some books and even visited ComicCon while everyone else was parting in TJ.

She walked into the locker room after the teacher handed her lock and saw Marissa pulling a Juicy Couture hoodie over her lacey bra. Summer wished she could be able to afford fancy gym clothes like that, but she had to settle for old t-shirts and old basketball shorts from her dad. All the girls made fun of her, but it was nothing new, they always did. She figured it was senior year; she should try and branch out a little.

"Hey Marissa, I like your, um, gym outfit. It's really cute!" Summer said while smiling an excruciatingly fake smile.

"Thanks. I like your Juicy sweats too, oh yeah that's right you're too poor to own any." Marissa said laughing as she walked away with Holly Fisher.

Summer sighed again for what seemed to be the thousandth time today. She just kept thinking in her head, don't worry! You've made it five years without friends. Besides next year you'll have plenty of friends at Brown, and not a single Newpsie will be there!

Summer walked into the gym to already see most of the girls jogging, except for Marissa and Holly, who were sitting on the bleachers filing their nails. Ugh their they go using that fake "I have really bad cramps" excuse again, Summer thought. She ran into the line with all the girls, and she was at bliss, that was until she saw him.

He walked out of the boys locker with a grin plastered on his face. His usual dark curly mop of hair was cut shorter this year. Summer liked it though, of course it didn't matter what he did, she would always like him. His brown eyes caught hers for just a second, and she felt butterflies inside. She always did when she saw him; she had loved him ever since she saw him the first day she moved to Newport. He never noticed her though. He was too busy hanging out with his multiple girlfriends or winning the state baseball championship for Harbor. In Summer's mind he was all she ever wanted, but he would never know that. He was the most popular guy in school; there was no reason for Seth Cohen to notice a girl like Summer Roberts.

Summer was staring at him for so long she didn't realize that she had just run into the gym doors. Her face was red with embarrassment; she could hear everyone behind her laughing. Her heart broke when she heard Seth laughing then calling out "Hey everybody look! The Harbor School loser totally ran into the doors!" Following his statement even more laughter erupted.

Summer dashed off into the locker room and started to cry. She couldn't understand why everyone here hated her. Sure she didn't have designer clothes or a fancy car, but did they have to be so mean? Summer walked over to the sink and began to wash the mascara stains off her cheeks. She looked in the mirror and saw a pretty girl with no makeup on and glasses. She shrugged at her appearance and began to change back into her regular clothes. She put on her jeans and her Brown t-shirt. She looked at the clock and realized she had enough time to read the comic book she had gotten on the way to school.

"Ha ha! Looks like Harbor's biggest loser is reading another one of her lame comics!" Marissa said as she walked in with Holly and all of the other girls trailing behind her.

Summer shoved her comic book into purse and left the locker room. It was like every class she went to she was ridiculed in some way. At last the bell rang. Summer looked at her schedule and saw she had AP Calculus next. She had always been good at math, it was the one class where no one could make fun of her, they were just always in awe of her perfect test scores.

As she walked into the classroom she saw all the students sitting and talking with their friends. She decided to take a seat in the back corner of the room where no one could bother her. As she sat down the teacher walked into the room.

"Hello everyone. I am your teacher Mr. Johnson. Now if we go ahead and assign the seats we can go ahead and start class."

He went down the list and assigned everyone their seats -- except Summer. She looked around the room and saw that the only seat left was table at the back of the room. Great, she thought, even the teacher knows I don't have any friends.

"Roberts you will be sitting in the back with Cohen once he gets here from the office." Mr. Johnson said.

No, I can't have Seth Cohen sit next to me. He will distract me with his good looks and charm. Or maybe he just won't talk to me, yeah, he won't talk to me. Summer sat down at the table and pulled her calculator out her purse. Just as she looked up from the neat workspace she had set she saw Seth walk into the room. He pulled his messenger bag off and set it on the table. As he sat down he sighed a little, he didn't know how he was going to pass this class with the biggest loser sitting next to him.

Little did both of them know how their worlds would change just from a simple seating assignment in AP Calculus.
