*All right, fourth chapter. I thank you all for your reviews. Some of you said that

Summer was a little OOC and so I took that into account. I did some minor

readjusting to my story to try and make it a little more "believable." So I hope you

like it. Keep reviewing, I like to actually have emails in my inbox that aren't spam!*

The gang lay on towels, soaking up the bright Mexican rays.

"Damn," Luke said, "I am getting hot."

"Me too," Marissa murmured.

"Huh? Really?" Luke asked and then picked Marissa up and carried her to the

water.

"No!" she squealed and then succumbed to giggling.

Seth looked at Ryan, who was visibly miserable, then over to Summer.

"Don't even think about it," she snitted.

"OK," Seth said, closing his eyes again.

A few minutes later, he decided to get in the water anyways. He jogged down to

the water, and dived in, relishing the emerald water's cool temperature. He sat on the

sandy bottom for as long as he could, only coming up for air. Coming up, he was startled

to see Summer standing there.

"Hey," he said.

"Hey," she said, "God this water feels good!"

"Yeah."

"God! Look at them! Get a room!!" she called.

Marissa and Luke looked at Summer and laughed, then resumed right where they

left off.

"Freaks," Summer muttered under her breath, "So, what did you get on your

PSATs?"

"Me?"

"No, the jellyfish. Of course you."

"Oh..I got a 1535," he said, embarrassed.

"Damn! I only got a 1325."

"That's still really good Summer. And this is only the PSATs. You can study a

lot of the SATs and bring your score up seventy five points."

"I guess so. But studying's not really my thing."

"Wow, so you didn't study for the PSATs?"

"Not really. Were we supposed to? How much did you study?"

"Well my parents hired a private tutor every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday for

two months before the test."

"Wow, that really cuts out a huge chunk of your social life."

Seth chuckled at the irony of this statement.

"So any college choices yet?" he asked.

"I don't know. Somewhere in Cali, can't leave the state. We're the only state

who really knows how to party. Maybe somewhere like Stanford of Berkley. My

daddy's given pretty generous donations to both. And with my decent grades and

extracurriculars, who knows?"

"You'll probably get in."

"Thanks, but fuck it. I might not even go to college. My dad and stepmom want

me to go so I feel like I have to rebel in some way."

"I can relate," Seth said laughing.

"EW!," she screamed suddenly," I got sea fucking weed in my hair! I've got to

get out...NOW!"

Seth watched her haphazardly run out of the water, their perfect moment ruined.

The group sat on their towel eating a silent lunch.

"So," Seth said to Summer, who was sitting by him, "What classes are you taking

next year?"

"Uh, AP English, Art, AP Calc, AP Western Civ, AP Chemistry, and Spanish 4,"

she said between bites.

"Sounds good. I am taking the same APs except I'm not taking Spanish again this

year. Decided to take French. All I know is voulez- vous couchez avec moi."

"Like when would you ever use that?" she said condescendingly.

"Low blow there, Summer."

"Well that is my job."

"You do it very well."

"Why thank you. So what else? You're not taking Art are you?

"No, I'm taking psychology."

"Are you gonna be able to psychoanalyze me at the end of the year?"

"I hope so. I want to be one when I grow up."

"A psycho?" she asked innocently.

"No, a psychiatrist."

"Oh, all right, 'cause I was gonna say, if you wanted to be a psycho, you wouldn't

have to wait until you grow up."

"Thanks, Summer. I just felt my self esteem fall a few levels."

"You can't take me seriously. If we're gonna be friends, then ya gotta learn I can

really be a bitch. When I want to, of course."

"I can tell."

"Hey," she said, throwing a handful of sand on him.

"Just kidding," he said, putting his hands in front of his face.

*Flirty, Flirty, Flirty children! Next comes the club..everyone's favorite place in the

world! I know it would be mine, if I were old enough to get in one. Please review. I

hope that I have portrayed Summer's character a little better, but this is fan fiction so I

am going to make her warm up to Seth a little quicker than it might actually take on the

show! I am so excited about next week's episode. Only two days, six hours!"
