Seth led Summer into the house and Ryan and Marissa rushed into the
foyer. "Summer- ah- Why are you here?"
Summer scowled at him. "I came to see Marissa. Coop, I finally decided that I would get out of the house and have some fun!"
Marissa smiled.
"Could you excuse us for a moment?" Seth took Ryan by the arm and dragged him into the kitchen. "Okay, this totally messes up everything!" He paced back and forth. "Ryan, buddy, you've got to help me get rid of her!"
"Seth, I know she'll be a distraction for you and Anna, but you two are getting out of the house and we're staying home. Remember?"
"So?"
"If she wants to be with Marissa, then she'll be with us at home. Chill out!"
Seth laughed. "Oh that's right. That's good, that's good." He poured himself a glass of water and Ryan left the kitchen.
Summer was sitting down on a couch and Marissa sat next to her. She turned and smiled at her boyfriend before turning back to her freaked out friend.
"Shit! Shit!" Summer exclaimed. "They're going on a date and here I am being the third wheel as usual with you two!"
"Well, what did you expect would happen?" Marissa asked.
"I don't know. Some crazy idea that Anna wouldn't come over and I would get back together with Cohen. But- Oh, the hell with it! I don't care." She threw a pillow to the other end of the couch.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa! Don't go breaking the furniture!" Seth entered the room and stood next to Ryan.
She glared at him. "Uh, not funny, Cohen! And it's a pillow, there's a difference."
Seth mouthed the word "ouch" to Ryan and he smiled.
The doorbell rang.
"I am so getting that one." Seth ran to the door.
"Huh. Talk about whipped," Summer said.
He opened it. "Oh. Hey, Granps! Hey, Julie!" He let them enter the house.
"Is your mother here?"
"Why, yes, she is. Mom!"
Kirsten walked into the foyer a few minutes later. "Hello." The three left the room and Seth walked back to his friends and sighed.
A sharp ringing tone of a cell phone filled the silence of the room and Seth took his cell phone out of his pocket. "It's Anna. Hello?"
"Hey, Seth. I'm so sorry. I can't come today."
"Why?"
"My mom's friend died and I don't think I should be out celebrating for awhile. Sorry again."
"Why shouldn't you?"
"Seth!"
"Fine, fine. See at school."
"See you."
He put the phone back in his pocket and sighed. "She's not coming."
Summer sat up and smiled. "Say that again?"
"She is not coming."
Summer scowled at him. "I came to see Marissa. Coop, I finally decided that I would get out of the house and have some fun!"
Marissa smiled.
