Caitlan and Summer are sitting together in Caitlan's room. Caitlan is painting Summer's toe nails.
Ca: So, what are we doing for your birthday?
Su: I don't know, I guess the usual...
Summer says evasively.
Ca: One party, 5 kegs, and enough hot guys for everyone?
Caitlan suggests.
Su: Exactly.
Summer replies, with exaggerated enthusiasm.
Caitlan smiles.
Su: We just had the cheerleading party...
Summer points out. Caitlan shrugs.
Ca: You can never have enough parties, especially in Newport.
Caitlan responds. Summer nods.
Su: So, who was that guy you here hanging with at the cheerleader party?
Summer asks, curious.
Ca: This kid Ryan, I'd never seen him before...
Summer nods.
Su: He's hot.
There's a pause. Summer looks at Caitlan.
Su: You gonna see him again?
Ca: Are you crazy?
Caitlan says, as if Summer is crazy to suggest it.
Ca: He's from Chino!
Caitlan finishes.
Su: Ew!
Summer responds quickly.
Ca: Exactly!
They both laugh.
Ca: So what about you, did you get any action?
Summer thinks, deciding how much he can tell Caitlan.
Su: Yeah this one guy.
Summer answers vaguely. Caitlan looks at Summer expecting more.
Ca: So, did you two...?
Caitlan asks, expecting Summer to fill in the blank.
Su: Yeah, totally.
Summer lies, trying to impress Caitlan.
Ca: Was he, uh...
Caitlan says raising her eyebrows.
Su: Great, yeah.
Summer interrupts, trying to end this conversation. Caitlan smiles.
Ca: Right on girl.
Caitlan gives Summer a high-five. Summer smiles, please at Caitlan's approval. Caitlan sees Marissa and Seth walking in the hall.
Ca: Hey Maris.
Marissa keeps walking. Caitlan gets up and goes after Marissa. Seth looks in the room at Summer. Marissa slams the door shut. Caitlan is confused.
Ca: Hey Marissa, there's a party tomorrow night…
Caitlan says through the door.
Ca: for Summer's birthday… you should come. And I guess you could bring Seth.
Caitlan says dismissively. Marissa ignores Caitlan.
Ca: Marissa!
Caitlan says loudly. Meanwhile Seth walks into Caitlan's room where Summer is sitting.
Se: Hey Summer.
Su: Cohen.
Summer responds quickly. There's an awkward pause.
Se: So, yeah, I was thinking...
Su: Yeah, don't.
Summer cuts him off.
Seth looks at Summer.
Se: Okay, well I know your birthday's tomorrow...
Summer looks at Seth.
Su: How do you know?
Summer asks. There's a pause.
Se: Well, I...
Su: Have you been stocking me?
Summer questions, insulting Seth.
Se: No.. I just,
Su: Look Cohen...
Summer starts, but then stops when Caitlan re-enters the room. Summer is embarrassed that Caitlan is seeing her with Seth.
Ca: Seth, what's wrong with Marissa? She slammed the door in my face.
Seth exits the room. Caitlan smiles.
Ca: Thank god. I can't stand him.
Caitlan says, in response to Seth walking out of her room.
Su: Yeah, good riddance.
Summer answers hesitantly.
