"Hellooo!" Summer sat down next to Marissa and across from Ryan and Seth. She had a huge smile on her face, the one she always wore. "What ya talking about?" She looked around the table, her eyes lingered on Seth for a moment before she turned to Marissa. "Coop will you answer my question?"
"Um, sure" She looked around uncomfortably at Ryan and Seth, shifting in her seat. "We were discussing the history projects and partners, they're getting assigned today"
"Such an uncomfotable subject" Seth stated, dead pan. Summer let out a giggle smiling widely. Then Seth smiled back. He loved when he brought joy to Summer's face, the way it lit up was amazing. She had a sweetness about her that no one could deny. She always looks goregous, he thought, seeing Summer's sparkaling eyes. They always had an innocent glow about them. No matter what, Seth always found a way to bring a smile to her face. He couldn't stand to see her cry.
"Hmm, I wonder who my partner will be?" Ryan frowned. His eyes drifted to Marissa for a minute, he quickly whipped his head and stared intently at a bush. Thoughts of the blonde haired girl from next door floated into his head, he couldn't help it. Not that he didn't enjoy them. She was just so perfect. The way she stared at things, and how her eyes glazed over as she thought, undisturbed. And who could forget her smile? It was always so sweet and pure. Sure, sometimes it was broken, crooked, or as small as can be. It was still perfection in its sweetest state. He turned his head back to the table as he was jolted from his thoughts.
"I don't know, I hate not picking partners!" whined Summer, her lower lip beginning to stick out.
"yeah…I like getting assigned a partner" Seth explained to the rest of the table.
"Why?" Summer screeched back at him, very confused. She always loved picking her partner. If not, she might get stuck with some geek, that would ruin her reputation. She wouldn't mind getting paired with Cohen though. He was always found a way to make her laugh. She loved that about him, everything about him. She found his Jew-fro cutesy and fun. Summer knew she could have a good time with him, she always did. But the thing that was most appealing was his heart. He cared so much about her and was always so sweet and sincere. Cohen would never do anything to hurt her. He just wanted her to be happy, and his strategy always seemed to work. It was like she was under his spell.
"I just…no one ever wants to be my partner." Seth looked at Summer seriously.
"Yeah, in a way it's easier not having to make that decision by yourself." Marissa told her best friend. It was true everyone wanted to be her partner, she didn't even know why. It was, and had always been that way. Her eyes floated to Ryan and a smirk spread on her face. She knew that this time she wanted him as her partner. Of course she could never say that out loud. But Ryan was so sweet and kind to her. He always encouraged her and tried to make her feel better, without getting too emotional on her. Sometimes, she just needed at break from pressure and social statis. He always gave her that. Plus, he was silent. It wasn't an annoying silence. It was more of a hypnotising silence that sent shivers up Marissa's back. It comforted her and made her feel safe like she would never be alone or hurt again. She also enjoyed the way he looked at her. Like he could stare staright into her soul and only wanted to help her. He looked at her like she was perfect and could do no wrong. This made Marissa feel happy.
"Lets just pray." Summer visably crossed her fingers and close her eyes tight.
"That'll work. Mrs. Burnbomb already picked the partners, um, yesterday, and um, you should've done that before you were born because now your not innocent and free of sin." Remarked Seth sarcastically, a wild grin on his face. Summer wiped it off with just one glare. "okay." He looked away.
"You guys are so annoying sometimes" Marissa mumbled under her breathe.
"Tell me about it." Whispered Ryan. He let out a soft smile, mostly directed towards Marissa, but no one noticed.
"You guys are so annoying!" Summer barked back at them. Her eye daggers shooting full force, all around the table.
"I don't wanna be on the receiving end of a hissy fit slash rage blackout, so I'm ganna get out of here." Seth pointed behind him as he rushed away from his friends.
Summer let out a long sigh. "He's finally gone." She now focused on Marissa. "I really want you to be my partner." She tugged at her best friends arm.
"Me too" Marissa lied. She wouldn't mind Summer being her partner, really. Summer just didn't like to do the work.
"Hey." Marissa's boyfriend Tommy came up to the table along with Summer's boyfriend, Dan.
"Oh hi." She looked at him.
"Let's go." Summer smiled at them and stood up with Marissa. She grabbed Dan's arm and walked off, giggling.
"Um, bye" Marrisa waved to Ryan as she left him alone. He watched her leave with a sad look in his eye.
