Motel

"Why would she stand me up? I don't get it." Alex said laying on the bed staring up at the ceiling.

"Because you're pathetic." Jodie grumbled as she rolled over, trying to sleep. "Go to sleep, talk..in…morning." She yawned.

Next Day - Pool Party

"I just really don't understand it Jo, oh and MTV just showed up." Alex said as her and Jodie stood at then entrance to the huge pool and patio party

Jodie smiled. "Now I can say with complete certainty that we are the shit, that's sounds really bad but in a good way." Alex smiled and turned around taking out her cell phone. "Don't you dare try and text her again, she'll sense your desperate which is why I haven't text Summer, she's pissed at me and it's your fault by the way."

"For one I am desperate and for another don't act like your not." Alex said as she tried to get her cell phone back from Jodie who took it from her.

"Can you just enjoy the party, let loose for a little bit." Alex looked at all the fun that was going on, and nodded.

"Do you give discounts to the friends of the promoters?" Summer said instead of asked as she and Marissa walked up to the other two girls. Who were now standing with their mouths wide open, in awe of the other two.

"Cause I'm ready to party." Marissa and Summer walked up them. The other two looked at each other and chased after them.

"Marissa wait!" She kept walking, ignoring Alex.

Marissa and Summer began to make their way to the center island in the pool and started dancing with the guys that were there as the d.j. turned up the volume causing Jodie and Alex to stop in their tracks. Before they knew it they were getting bumped and knocked into, both girls ending up in the pool, now watching their interests from the water.

Honey, I can tell by the wanderin look in your eye
You're just a little boy with about just about a thousand lines
And the girl you say is always on your mind

You just sit and watch and walk out of your life

(While you talk) a lot, (but your) talk is cheap
(You) Change your mind (like you) change your sheets (and me)
You're doing things that I don't like (and still) it aint right.
Well it must be the madness

Must be the madness and the magic that I feel inside
Must be the music and the rhythm playin' with my mind
Must be the chemistry, you and me, that I can't deny
I wanna tell you I love you, love you, love you but I can't decide

It's funny you can tell by the way I use my words
I'm all fed up and it's so absurd.
That the whole wide world can see what you've done
I'm just a simple girl and I'm the one you want

Yeah, yeah

Talk enough ('cause), Talk is free (and your)
Your too young to handle me
So, I'm lookin' for a whole new vibe
(And still) You look right

Well, it must be the madness (madness)
Must be the madness and the magic that I feel inside (oh must be the music)
Must be the music and the rhythm playin with my mind
Must be the chemistry, you and me, that I can't deny
I wanna tell you I love you love you love you, but I can't decide

Well, it must be the madness
Must be the madness and the magic that I feel inside (I feel inside)
Must be the music and the rhythm playin' with my mind
Must be the chemistry, you and me, that I can't deny
I wanna tell you I love you, love you, love you, but I can't decide

Marissa turned around and stopped dancing as Alex pulled herself out of the water, after being pushed in yet again. "Ryan!" He leaned down and kissed her.

"Who the fuck is he?" Alex asked Holly.

"Her boyfriend, duhh." Holly walked away with a smile on her face.

"So you do have a boyfriend, what was I? Some spring break experiment to you" Alex was growing angrier.

"He is not my boyfriend." Marissa finally pushed Ryan away.

Alex was now fuming. "Then why was he kissing you, because I can tell you friends don't kiss like that."

"Why don't you back off Barbie."

Alex raised an eyebrow. "What the hell did you just call me?"

"What is going on?" Marissa turned to Holly who was standing there with a smug look on her face.

"You wanna take this outside." Ryan said clearly not thinking it through first.

"We are outside steroid king."

Summer got in between the two. "Can we not fight here, this is dumb, Ryan just back off." Ryan picked up Summer and moved her out of the way.

"Oh hell no you did not just put your grimy hands on my girlfriend." Jodie finally got involved. A light bulb went off in her head and she smiled. "Now there has to be a fair and profitable way to settle this."

Beach

"Okay whoever rides the wave the best wins, you only get one ride so choose you better hope you ass picks the right one. Are you two clowns ready?" Marissa and Ryan stood ready to run into the water, surfboards under their arms, both nodded. "Okay, go!" Marissa, Jodie and Holly looked on with the other on lookers who had gathered around the commotion.

Alex was the first out but was followed closely by Ryan who surprised her a little bit with his speed. I Steroids will do that to you I guess./I She laughed to herself.

Looking over her shoulder she knew this was the wave she was taking. She started to paddle as the wave caught up with her. To no one's surprise to rode the wave flawlessly. Ryan went next and was doing pretty well considering, when some other guy decided to jump on the wave, causing Ryan to loose his balance and crash into the water.

His board came up and snapped in half but he didn't. Without hesitation Alex ran back into the water and got him, bringing him back to shore with her, she laid him on the sand. Marissa ran over and Alex backed away, with a sad look on her face as the brunette failed to acknowledge her.

"Ryan can you hear me, you're gonna be okay." She kneeled by him as the lifeguard took a look at the cut on his forehead. Alex watched the look of worry on Marissa's face and she felt like crying; partially from sadness and the rest from anger. The blonde felt used, she really cared from the brunette. I I've fallen hard for this girl./b

Little Later - Outside beach clinic

Ryan walked out of the clinic and over to where Marissa was pacing. "Hey are you okay?"

He smiled. "Yeah, just five stitches, it'll heal."

"I'm glad, but you want to tell me what the hell you're doing here now?"

Ryan looked confused. "Holly called, said you needed me so I jumped on the first flight."

Marissa shook her head confused. "Holly? I don't know what she was thinking but Ry you and are just friends, we always have been."

"Can't we be more than that though, I really like you Ris." He rubbed her arm gentle.

Marissa took his hand off her arms and held it. "I was thinking more of the sister/brother type friendship."

Ryan looked down. "So I don't have a shot do I?"

"No, I'm sorry Ry." She really did feel bad, he was one of her closest friends but that was it.

"You sure know how to hurt a guy when he's down."

Marissa looked up at him. "It's five stitches Ryan, you've had worse." They bother laughed.

"You really like her don't you?" Marissa nodded. "Then give it all you got."

Beach Restaurant

"Why are you mad at me, like I did something?" Jodie and Summer were trying to have lunch together but Summer was being cold.

"I never said you did anything did I?"

"Then what the hell is your problem.?"

"Can we just stop talking about it? I just don't think I can do this." Summer looked down at her plate. I Because I'm falling for you and all I am is just the girl you hooked up with over spring break.

Jodie was shocked. "What? Why not?" Summer didn't say anything. "Why?!" Nothing. "Fuck this, I'm out of here. I can be out having fun, hooking up with god only knows how many girls, girls that would lay off me, and just have a good time." Summer's glance remained down at her plate. Jodie didn't want to do it but she was protective of herself, and especially her feelings. "Fine, that's it, you want it to end, fine." Summer stood up. "It's done, you were a waste of a spring fling anyways." Summer walked away with tears in her eyes, as Jodie sat there brooding, and hurt.

Outside on the patio

Alex was sitting at the bar having a drink, and thinking about text messaging Marissa when Holly came and sat down next to her.

"Hey." She said rubbing Alex's back softly.

"Hey thanks for coming, we need to talk about Marissa. How do I win her back?" Alex was desperate and she didn't care if everyone knew it.

"You can't silly."

"What?" Alex was confused.

"Just forget about duhh."

"I don't understand?"

Holly shook her head. "I'm speaking English. What has Marissa offered you? Nothing but lies, and heartbreak and muffin you deserve more than that." Alex looked away, believe that most of what Holly was saying was fact. "A lot more." Alex looked over at Holly. "Someone like me." The shorter blonde stroked Alex's arm and then started tracing her hand.

With her free hand, Alex brought the other girls hand away. "Look Holly I think you have the total wrong idea here."

Holly took the opportunity to bring the others girls hand to her waist, pulling her closer. "I'm here for you Alex, all of me."

Marissa walked over to the patio and instantly seem what was going on between the two blondes. She watched them talk for a second before they kissed. Heartbroken and feeling betrayed she stormed off back to the hotel to find Summer.

Meanwhile Alex pushed Holly away. "Holly, what the hell are doing?"

"You are making the biggest mistake of your life Alex, I'm way better than Marissa will ever be."

Alex laughed and got up. "Add it to my score board." She started to walk away causing Holly to stand up.

"You're just a…a dumb blonde. You think Marissa can give you what I can, she's nothing compared to me." She yelled after Alex who wasn't interested in it at all.

Hotel

Summer was sitting alone in the hotel room thinking about her break-up with Jodie, quietly singing the Golden Girls theme song to herself. Hearing a knock at the door she stood up, checked herself in the mirror quickly and answered the door.

She was shocked to see Jodie standing in front of her. "Jodie what are you doing here." She chocked back a few tears.

Looking down Jodie answered. "I came to apologize, for everything."

"I'm sorry I was cold with you, it's just you're the notorious party girl and…"

Jodie cut her off. "You're right, except about one thing. I was a party girl till I met you. I'm falling for you Summer, and its changing me and I don't like change to much. I guard my feelings so that I don't get hurt. I'm sorry for saying the things I did I was frustrated, not with you but with myself and I don't blame you for being distant, if I were I would have been too, please let me make it up to you?"

Summer smiled and took the Latina's outstretched hand. "Lead the way, and it better be good."

Jodie lead Summer to the pool, outside the beach restaurant. "Okay open you eyes." Summer's mouth dropped open as there were candles all around and a table for two set up on the beach.

"You did this?" Jodie nodded and Summer immediately hugged her. "It's amazing, I love it." The two girls sat down to eat.

Marissa happened to walk by the beach and seen Jodie and Summer. She smiled to herself happy for Summer, at the same time wishing Alex had turned out to be the way Jodie was. She turned back towards the water thinking about a certain blonde.

She was brought of her thoughts. "Hey there you." Marissa turned around and was face to face with a blonde, just not the blonde. "Want to go get something to eat, I'm like totally hungry."

Marissa tried to reduce her anger. "I imagine stabbing one of your best friends in the back does take a lot of you."

"Hun what are you talking about?"

"First off why did you tell Ryan to come down here?"

Holly didn't know what to do. "I told him to come because I thought you were getting in to deep with Alex, and I didn't want to see you get hurt."

Marissa shook her head. "I seen you at the restaurant with Alex today."

"I didn't want to have to tell you this but." Holly looked down.

"But what? Spit it out Hol."

"Alex called me, she said it was important, that she needed to see me and not to tell you. She told me that the only she was seeing you was to get closer to me. I told her that I was your b f f for life and I would never betray you and that's when she tried to kiss me. I didn't want to tell you, that we'd all be gone and no one would no, I'm so sorry Rissa."

"Wow."

"Yeah."

"I'm sorry I had no idea." Marissa turned apologetically to Holly.

"No at least you found out one thing. He's no good for you babe." Holly brought Marissa into a hug, which Marissa accepted before the two walked back to the hotel.
