I don't own the characters or The O.C. I only own the charcters i created and the story line.

Summer Roberts walked down the hallways of Harbor next to her best friend Marissa Cooper. The two of them were the most popular girls in school. Together, they ruled Harbor. She was the kind of girl who didn't notice guys like Seth Cohen when she passed them in school. The only thing she noticed about them was the fact that they noticed her. Not that she would ever be interested in one of them. She just liked that they thought they could have a chance with her. As Summer and Marissa walked to class Marissa's boyfriend, and Seth Cohen's adopted brother, Ryan Atwood walked up behind Marissa and grabbed her waist. Scared she turned around.

"Hey Ryan!" Marissa smiled and kissed her boyfriend.

"Sup Atwood? Where's Cohen?" Summer asked.

"Why? You want him that badly?" Ryan teased her.

"Um, ew! Exactly the opposite. I want to avoid him that badly." Summer looked around and saw him with Anna Stern. She didn't understand the feeling she got in her stomach when she saw the two of them together. It couldn't be….jealousy. Jealousy of Anna Stern? Especially when she was jealous of her being with Seth Cohen. But in her heart she knew it was. And she didn't like that at all. Summer walked towards them.

"I thought she wanted to avoid him?" Ryan asked Marissa.

"Ha. Yeah right." Marissa replied.

Seth looked up and saw Summer walking toward him and Anna. He couldn't help but think about how beautiful Summer looked.

"Hey Summer. How's it going?" Seth asked.

"Pretty good. Cohen can we talk?" Summer looked at Anna. "Alone?"

"Sure. Of course." The two of them walked out to a table in the outside eating area. "What's up Summer?"

"What were you doing with Anna?" Summer blurted it out before she realized what she was saying.

"Why do you care? We aren't dating. I can hang out with Anna if I want." Seth said.

"Yeah. I know. Why would I date you? I mean, you're sweet, funny, you care about me. Who wants that?" Summer said.

"Summer, you do realize that everything you described about me were good things, right?"

"I'm not that crazy, Cohen."

"I think you're crazy for me, Summer."

"I think you're the crazy one, Seth." Summer was enjoying the banter they were having back and forth.

"Yeah? Well, I think you like me. I mean, really like me" Seth looked in Summer's eyes.

Summer looked back in Seth's eyes and felt her heart soften. "You know what I think?"

"What's that?"

"I think you may just be right." Summer smiled.

"You think Summer?"

"Well, I may be able to be convinced if something were to happen right now." Summer looked away shyly.

Seth turned her head back towards his and kissed her.

"Yea. I'm convinced" Summer grinned and kissed him again. Almost immediately after, a couple of Summer's friends walked up.

"Summer, did you lose a bet that I didn't know about?" Holly asked.

"Um, not that I'm aware of. Why?" Summer was confused.

"Then why are you kissing Seth Cohen, of all people?" Holly looked at Seth in disgust.

Summer looked at Seth, then looked back at Holly. After a minute or two, she looked back at Seth, then again at Holly.

"Summer, why are you kissing him?" Holly snapped.

"Holly, I'm kissing Seth because he's my boyfriend." Summer looked directly at Holly.

"He is? Since when?" Holly asked.

"I am? Since when?" Seth looked at Summer.

Summer looked back at Seth. "Well, since now I hope."

"Summer are you asking him what I think you're asking him?" Holly interrupted.

Ignoring Holly, Summer looked right in Seth's eyes. "Seth Cohen, will you be my boyfriend?"

Seth looked at Summer in surprise. "Summer, I'm surprised that you even have to ask."

Summer grinned. "So is that a yes, Cohen?"

"You bet it is Summer." Seth kissed Summer.

"Hello? Still standing right here!" Holly interrupted again.

Summer stopped smiling. "Crap. I forgot about her." Summer turned towards Holly. "Holly? Can you leave? Like now? I'd kind of like to be alone with my boyfriend now."

"Whatever." Holly and her friends walked away, disgusted. As they did, they passed Summer's younger sister, Tiffany. "Hey Tiffany. If you're looking for you're sister, she's making out with king of dorks, Seth Cohen."

Tiffany was confused, but understood as soon as she saw the couple. She walked towards them and sat down.

"So you guys are together now, huh?"

Summer looked at her sister. "Yea we are."

"Cool. I'm happy for you." Tiffany looked away and attempted to hold in the tears she knew were about to begin falling.

Summer looked at her sister and immediately knew something was very wrong. Summer turned her sister's head back towards her and looked right in her eyes.

"Tiff, what's wrong?" Summer asked.

"Nothing Summer. You know, I'm just gonna go and let you two have privacy." Tiffany began to get up. Summer grabbed her arm and pulled her back down.

"Tiffany something is really wrong." Summer was really worried about her sister.

"Everything's fine Summ." Tiffany was lying through her teeth.

"Tiffany, if I can say something, you look like you've been crying and you also look like you're about to begin crying again. Something is wrong." Seth said. He was almost as concerned about Tiffany as Summer was.

Summer looked at Seth. It made her happy to see that Seth genuinely cared about her sister and what was bothering her. Summer looked back at Tiffany and saw that she was starting to get up again. She grabbed both of her arms.

"Ow! Dang Summer!" Tiffany jerked her arms away from Summer.

"Tiff, I barely touched you. I used like, no force or strength at all." Summer glanced down at her sister's arms and looked back up, only to quickly look back down again.

"Tiff what the heck happened? You have bruises all over your arms. Has Todd seen these?" Todd was Tiffany's boyfriend.

Seth looked at the bruises. They weren't humongously huge, but they weren't exactly microscopic either. "Tiffany, who did this to you?"

Suddenly it clicked in Summer's head. "Oh my God. Was it Todd?"
