"Ew. How totally Chino of Seth!"

"How is Seth breaking up with you "Chino"?" Ryan asked, looking up from whatever lameass secondhand previously read by Seth comic book he was reading. Wow, he looked mildly offended. Summer figured that by now he would have gotten used to people dissing Chino.

"Because Chino sucks. No offence...actually yes, offence. Be offended. Loser." Summer glared at Ryan.

"Are you okay?" He asked gently.

"No. He dumped Anna for me, except technically Anna dumped him 'cause he liked me. So he didn't dump Anna. But now he's dumped me. For frigging Anna again. I am the rejected party here. Me! While we're on the topic of stupid Anna and stupid Pittsburgh? It sucks too. How Pittsburgh of Seth."

Summer sat down on the steps beside Ryan with a sigh.

"Chino isn't that bad. Everyone here seems to think it sucks." Ryan pondered.

"Can we concentrate on me? What does Chino have to do with me?"

Ryan sighs. "You'll be okay."

"No I won't. I..I liked him. Maybe loved him. Which is lame and all that and Seth Cohen? Is really a loser. Breaking up with me has just proved this. But I kinda did. Do. Whatever."

"I'm sorry. Seth's You know how long he took to decide in the first place. I don't think he meant to hurt you."

Summer bites her lip.

"At least he didn't make friends with a psycho and tell you he didn't trust you."

"True. Coop can be such the retard. You know what, Ryan?"

"What?" He asks, amused.

"You and me. We should totally get it on. You're hot. I'm hot. It works."

Ryan gives her one of those looks of his. The looks that managed to say everything. Summer envies him for managing to pull off those looks. She can shoot some pretty killer glares but nothing like Ryan's looks.

"I would if we were in Chino", Ryan offers.

"Because Chino sucks?"

"Chino does not suck. It's just...different. Different enough for that to be okay. But here? No."

"How Newport Beach of you!" Summer sighed halfheartedly and leaned against him.
