Summer grinned. "So maybe things are turning out how I want them,"
she muttered to Marissa.
Ryan looked at Summer and then at Seth. "Well, Seth, Marissa and I might need you out of the room, so if you could please take Summer with you?" He winked at Summer and she smiled.
Seth groaned. "As you wish. Let's go." He then led Summer upstairs where the two headed for his room.
Marissa laughed. "That was very nice of you to do that for a friend in need."
"I know."
Summer sat down on Seth's bed and stared up at the ceiling.
"So, what do you wanna do?" Seth was standing by the door, looking everywhere but at Summer.
She shrugged. "I don't know."
"Well, then, would you mind if I grab a few snacks before returning?"
"Whatever! It's your house. Come to think of it, I'm leaving. Goodbye, Cohen."
"Okay. Whatever. Bye." Seth left the room and went into the kitchen, where he sat at the table, thinking about how he really felt about things. He took some time to think about his favorite memories.
Remember that time when Summer kissed me at the party? Or when we were together in that hotel on our road trip? Wait, what am I thinking?! I love Summer! No! I mean Anna! I love Anna! Oh, this is useless. Before Seth could finish thinking, he was up and running out through the front door, chasing after the beauty he had always loved. Summer was already getting into her car when Seth yelled out, "I love you!"
Summer got out of the car and walked forward, only so close, yet keeping her distance. "What, Cohen?"
He panted. "I love you," he repeated, out of breath. "I always have and I always will."
She smiled at him, probably the first time that month. "I know. I love you, too." She jumped into his arms and hugged him tightly, never wanting to let go ever again.
The four friends sat in the pool house.
"I have an announcement, everyone! Well, we have an announcement," Seth said finally.
"What?" Ryan and Marissa said at the same time.
"Coop, we're an item!"
"That's great you two. Congrats! But, what about Anna? Seth, you can't just have two girlfriends," Marissa said.
"Way to go, Seth. You finally sorted out your feelings," Ryan said.
"That's exactly what I did. I just sat there, thinking. And then suddenly it hit me! I just couldn't take Anna!"
Summer glared at him. "Is that the only reason why we're together?"
"No! I love you and Anna's annoying."
"Way to go, Seth! You finally noticed!" the three of them said in unison.
"Well, I should be calling Anna up right now and telling her the news."
"Don't!" Ryan told him. "Wait until you see her at school. It just wouldn't be right if told her now, with her mom's friend and everything."
"But, maybe I just shouldn't tell her."
"YOU WILL," everyone said together.
"I know, I know. I will. But, it just sounds wrong if I'm just like 'Hey, Anna! Me and Summer got back together while you were gone. Ok, bye.' I don't know how to tell her."
"Tell her the truth," Marissa replied.
"Promise?" Summer asked her new boyfriend.
He held her hands in his. "Promise."
Ryan looked at Summer and then at Seth. "Well, Seth, Marissa and I might need you out of the room, so if you could please take Summer with you?" He winked at Summer and she smiled.
