(A/N: Before I get to the chapter, I'd like to say a big shout out to zobrom for giving me my first ever review.)
(Late morning. Birds are singing. Summer walks down the driveway of Number 26. Andrew is putting out the rubbish.)
S: Hey! Do you want to walk to school with me, since Tash is gone on holidays?
A: Sure, wait a minute and I'll get my bag. Oh yeah, happy birthday!
S: Thanks!
(He walks inside, Summer follows after a minute.)
S: Did I leave my biology notes he... What are you doing?
(Andrew is quickly trying to put something in one of the drawers, not really succeeding...)
A: I was - could you help me please?
Summer laughs, the sleeve of his Erinsborough High School jumper was caught in the drawer.
A: (Blushing) Thanks! (pause while Summer looks at him with a blank expression) OK, OK, you've worn me down! This was meant to happen later but...
S: Yeah...
A: I got two tickets to see Empire Of The Sun tonight for your birthday! (gives her a ticket)
S: Oh my god! (squeals and hugs him)
Both of them feel a sense of electricity when they hug, they break away...
S: We should get to school...
A: Yeah...
All during school Summer can't concentrate. She keeps thinking about that hug...
That's never happened before. Wait, am I in love with Andrew? No! I have to get this out of my head and just focus on school!
Andrew was also thinking.
Is Summer becoming more than a friend to me? I can't tell her, she just thinks of me as a friend...
After school, they agree to meet at Lassiters Lake.
A: Wow! You look great!
(Summer is wearing a knee length purple dress with kitten heels and her hair half up/half down)
S: Thanks, so do you!
(At E of the S concert)
A: Do you want a drink, birthday girl?
S: Just an OJ, please…
Andrew gets the drinks. He orders two OJs. He starts talking to the person beside him at the bar, not seeing the barman sneaking some vodka in one of them….
(Later)
"We're Empire Of The Sun, you've been a great crowd, goodnight!"
(Outside after the concert.)
A: Do you want to go home now?
S: (slurred) Let's go to Lassiters Lake. I love it at night.
A: Are you sure you're ok?
S: Yeah.
(They walk to Lassiters Lake. They sit on a bench.)
A: It's beautiful...
S: (quietly) You're beautiful...
A: What?
S: (slurred) Oh nothing...
A: Right summer, we're going home.
S: Fine. Thanks Andrew, but I can go myself. (staggers off)
A: (sighs and grabs her arm) Summer…
Summer turns around and the spark of electricity was there again. In the heat of the moment, Summer reaches up and kisses Andrew. Andrew replies, but then pulls away.
A: Let's get you home.
Andrew brings her to Number 22, because Paul was gone on a business trip. He lays her on the couch. She falls asleep instantly. Her hair falls into her eyes. Andrew moves it away from her face, and then he slowly kisses her on the lips.
A: I never want to hurt you Summer.
(A/N: So, what do you think? Why is the mysterious barman spiking summer's drink? Also, will Summer even remember the night before? Please R &R!)
