What the future holds.
"Coop, I can't believe we're graduating college!" Summer said, flipping through the latest issue of Cosmopolitan.
"I can't believe you made it," Marissa replied.
"Ha, that's such a Coh- um, never mind," Summer said, a sad look in her eyes.
"Summer Roberts, were you going to say Cohen? As in Seth Cohen?" Marissa stared at her friend.
Summer just looked away, embarrassed.
"Oh my god! You still like Seth Cohen, Sum!" Marissa screamed. "Why didn't you tell me?"
"No, I don't. It was just a mistake. He and I are history," Summer insisted, but Marissa saw past the lies.
"You can't lie to me, Sum. I'm your best friend, I know these things," Marissa smiled, hugging Summer.
Summer shrugged and smiled sheepishly. "Well then, answer me truthfully. Are you still in love with Ryan?"
Now it was Marissa's turn to look upset. "I can't believe you!"
She threw a pillow at Summer. Soon they were engaged in a huge pillow fight. Feathers were flying everywhere from the thick down pillows.
"Oops," Marissa giggled, "I forgot my pillows had feathers in them!"
Out of breath, the girls finally stopped their fight. "So, you never answered my question, Coop," Summer said mischievously.
Marissa looked at Summer nervously. "Actually, I don't. I spent too many nights crying over Ryan. I decided it's time to move on and forget the past. It's not like my past was great."
Summer slapped Marissa on the arm. "Coop, you suck at lying! And how can you say your past wasn't great. Sure, you went through some tough times, but what about me? What about Ryan, or Seth? You even had some good times with Luke, before and after.well you know what," Summer trailed off.
"Well, I didn't mean it like that. But you are the only part of my past worth remembering," Marissa was lying and both she and Summer knew it.
"Aww, Coop, it's okay. Do you want Chinese? Let's stay in tonight."
Marissa sniffed. "Okay," she agreed, "And Sum?"
Summer was walking into the kitchen to find the Chinese menu. She turned around.
"Huh?" she said.
"Thanks for being there for me."
"Don't mention it," Summer replied quietly.
Summer wasn't really into expressing her feelings. Covering her feelings up with sarcasm was how she dealt with her insecurities. Marissa was the only one who she could be herself around.
"I'm going to take a shower," Marissa announced, bouncing up and running into her bedroom.
God, I love that girl, Summer thought, but she's got even more issues than me!
Summer quickly dialed the number for the Chinese restaurant. One of these days, she was going to put it on speed dial. After all, she and Coop got Chinese delivered a lot lately. Coop has been miserable since her and Ryan broke up, Summer decided. She's even more miserable than I am without Seth. And Summer Roberts decided to take charge, just as she had done her whole life. But she had to wait until Marissa turned the shower on
Seth's number was on her speed dial. He was number one, of course. Summer waited impatiently as Seth's home phone rang and rang. Seth had his own separate line from his parents. Finally, his machine picked up. "Hey, it's Seth Cohen and Captain Oats. We aren't here right now, but leave a message and we probably won't get back to you." Summer smiled every time she heard this message. She had had some good times with Seth and Captain Oats.
After the beep Summer began talking. "Hey Cohen, it's Summer. Summer Roberts. Listen, I need a favor, can we meet tomorrow? This is really important, Cohen, so you better call me back, or I'll-" Summer grinned as the answering machine beeped. Operation RyRissa was underway.
