It's about time Chapter 10, an o.c. fanfic

"That's completely whack!"

"Whack Sums?" The shorter girl nodded.

"You should make her jealous, you know what they say pay back is a bitch and what better way to get to her then to have guys going googily eyed over your hot body and your hot voice."

Marissa sighed closing her eyes. "The only problem with that is obviously she doesn't want me but instead to wants to swap spit with Jodie and who knows where that girls mouth as been."

"Zing! Nice Coop round one just went to you." The taller girl threw a pillow at her best friend.

"Plus with me losing that game it makes it harder for me to get to the championship so I have to focus and work my butt off, probably almost literally with all the working out i'll be doing."

"No silly it will just be nice and toned so it'll make the guys even crazier."

Marissa rolled her eyes. "Okay, okay I'll do it."

Summer smiled and gave her best friend the biggest hug she ever had. "This is going to be great and we'll make her pay for giving you major mixed signals."

The next day Marissa sat in her room doing the only thing that could keep her mind of tennis, Alex and most everything else. Pulling the guitar out of its case she sat on her bed and started to strum. Slowly at first then she got into it; most people were shocked when she played and that she was decent and even more so when she opened her mouth and sang. It was something her dad taught her and it had always been her way of releasing all the pent up emotion.

As she sat there playing she hadn't heard the knock on the door and it open slowly as she started to sing softly.

"Could you whisper in my ear
The things you want to feel
I'll give you anything
To feel it comin'
Do you wake up on your own
And wonder where you are
You live with all your faults

I wanna wake up where you are
I won't say anything at all
So why don't you slide
Yeah we're gonna let it slide
Don't you love the life you killed..."
Alex stood with her back against the wall depending on whether or not to disturb the girl. She was amazed at how good she sounded, then again if Marissa Cooper wanted to be good at something she would be. Finally feeling the presence of someone else Marissa stopped playing knowing that it wasn't Summer.
"Can I help you?" She asked turning around.
"Don't let me stop you that sounded really good." Alex said locking eyes with Marissa.
"You don't seem to be able to make people stop even if you wanted to. I'm sure Jodie is looking for you since you two are back to being alll cozy with each other. If you'll excuse me I need to get to practise." Marissa got up putting her guitar on its stand grabbing her back.
Alex moved out of the way before finding her voice again. "You don't know what you seen but if you give me the chance I'd like to explain."
"What I seen was that you'd rather be sucking face with some wannabe rather than supporting a friend who asked you to show up and be there for her." With that the taller girl left leaving the blonde stunned at how upset she'd be and mentally smacking herself for not going to the game.

After agreeing to do the school talent show with Summer and two of their friends whatever time Marissa had that she wasn't playing tennis she was working with the girls to write and song. It was now one a.m. and the ladies were working in the studio trying to piece together everything they had come up with. With the talent show in a week they wanted to be on point and make the guys go crazy for them and make every girl in the room jealous.
With having no time to herself the past while Marissa sat in the studio after the other girls left just working out a few things to their song. Unknown to her she wasn't alone as Alex was standing at the door watching Marissa, she could tell the girl was happy and only wished that she still looked at her that way. Ever since they're run in Marissa had either avoided or was extremely short with her. She stood there until Jodie came by and got her asking her to watch a movie even though it was late.
Day of the show
"Where's Summer already we're set to go on stage soon?"
"I know Holly but Sums knows what she's doing and won't let us down." As if on que Summer burst through the door carrying the girls outfits.
"Here we go ladies the hottest outfits this talent show ever seen, well at least from least since our outfits last year."
Looking at the outfits Marissa's mouth hung open. "If we don't make people jealous wearing this I don't know what will."
"Mhmm, exactly especially with those abs and that cute little tush of yours. Alex won't know what hit her and as for me well I like to keep my options open and make Seth drool, even though the drooling is pretty nasty."

Jodie and Alex walked into the talent and sat in the back so that if it was really bad they could leave without being noticed and scolded by the teachers. "Next up we have Summer, Marissa, Holly and Isabelle performing an original song." The announcer left the stage as the lights dimmed at the curtain was raised showing a boxing ring as the back ground.
"What the hell is this, fight of the preppy bitches or maybe it'll be them dissing each other." Jodie whispered in Alex's ear but immediatley shut up when the music started and the girls started dancing. "Damn I didn't know Cooper had that body under the clothes she wears, Summer might be a bitch but I guess those low carb diets to wonders." She put her hand on Alex's leg but the girl wasn't paying any attention to her as all her attention was on Marissa who was singing lead.

"Damn she's amazing." Alex whispered to herself but the guy next to her heard.

"I'd for sure tap that in a second."

A guy infront of them turned around. "The little brunette is feisty and has one hell of a voice too."

Finally the song ended and the girls did one final pose. "Girlicious." They all said in unison with a wink as the crowd crapped and some guys and a few girls whistled.

"Since this is all done now and it's clear who is going to win we should go back to my room and have a little fun, what do you say." The latina grinned.

"Actually I think I'm going to go back to my room and start packing and get a little studying done." Alex stood up, "I'll walk you back to your room though."

Jodie huffed. "Fine but seriously rain check cause your all hot and I'm hot so we should get together and be super hot."

"Get logic Jojo but that won't get me you know that although it might work on Summer since you were drooling over her."

"I wasn't, if I was drooling it was only because I was imagining you in one of those little outfits or rather your bra and a pair of tight leather pants."

"Not going to happen so keep imagining."

The blonde walked Jodie back to her room before going back to her own, except she didn't plan on packing or studying. Sitting down at her desk she opened her laptop scrolled down her IM until she came across Marissa's name.

Bad Ass Kelly: hi, just wanted to say that performance was awesome you guys actually surprised everyone, I knew you would you always do... guess I'll see you back at home.

With that said Alex got up leaving her lap top open, hoping that when Marissa got in and seen it she'd reply. As the hours passe Alex's eyes grew heavier and her neck sore from looking over at the lap top everytime something flashed on it. She fell asleep disappointed and she now understood to a lesser extent how Marissa felt the night she didn't show up at her game.
