*OK, here we go. I will make this author's note short to compensate for last

chapter's gigando one. I don't own The O.C or any of the characters at all.like

duh. But anyways, I really appreciate you reading and reviewing. Here we go!!!*

The group got a late start that day, heading out at lunchtime. Today, many other

students would be heading down for the remaining few days. Luke's two friends and

Holly, Summer and Marissa's friend, would be hanging out with them.

"Hey!" Holly squealed when she saw Summer and Marissa, "The guy at the hotel

said he recommended this place to you guys for lunch."

"Yeah," Summer said scooting closer to Seth, so that Holly and Norland and

Bryce could fit in.

"Hey Ryan, Luke, and..Sean?" Holly said greeting everybody.

"It's Seth," he told her.

"Oh sorry," she giggled.

"So Lucas, any hot Mexican chicas down here?" Bryce asked, which resulted in

several disgusted punches by Marissa and Summer.

"Like I would look," he said, kissing Marissa on the cheek.

"God, get a room," Summer joked, "Oh wait, you already have on."

"So what were you all going to do today?" Holly asked.

"Well, we are going to the beach..Luke and I. What about you Ryan?"

Marissa asked.

"I guess I'll go too," he mumbled.

"OK, and what about you, Seth and Summer? Will you two be joining Luke,

Ryan, and I?"

"I was thinking about shopping. In the markets and all," Summer said.

"And she needs someone to carry her bags," Seth added quickly.

"OK, so do you want to meet for dinner? Seven sound good?" Marissa asked.

"Sure," Summer said, "Let's go Seth," she said grabbing him by the arm.

"Bye," Seth said, waving to the table.

"God," Summer said as they exited out into the Mexican heat, "I'm really going

to have to engage in some serious retail therapy if I am going to be able to deal with her

for four more days."

"Who? Holly? I thought you guys were friends."

"I mean, Marissa and I go shopping with her. She invites me to tall the good

parties at her house, But I don't tell her secrets, we don't stay up all night talking..."

"Like with Marissa?"

"Like with Marissa."

"I really don't like her 'cause I know she's been after Luke since she was potty

trained..."

"So for only three years," Seth joked.

"HaHa, but seriously. Lately, I've been seeing look being given back to her by

Luke."

"What kind of looks?"

"Um...hard to explain. Not the kind he gives to Marissa. These are not full of

love. These are lustful. And I'll be the first to admit that Luke has a wandering..lust,

shall we say to keep it clean."

"How do you know?"

"Well," she said, entering a shop, "One night, during a party, I was a little buzzed,

but not drunk by any means, And he, fully drunk, came onto me and it really

freaked me out. I pushed him away and threatened to tell Marissa. But of course

I didn't, it would kill her."

"Do you think she would stay with him if you had told her?"

"No, there is one thing that Marissa will not tolerate. That is if he cheated on her

while they were still together."

"Well, Luke is a real jerk," Seth stated simply.

"Amen brother...Oooooh, look at this shirt. Only fifty pesos-how much is

that?"

"Five dollars."

"Damn, that's a steal. I will get one for both me and Marissa."

"Not one for Holly?" Seth asked sarcastically.

"Puleeze! And Cohen?"

"Yeah?"

"Don't tell anyone about our little convo before. I expect you to be able to keep a

secret."

"My lips are sealed with super glue. And locked with a padlock and the key is

thrown into the bottomless pit of doom."

"Alright," she said, smiling at him and rummaging through a rack of clothes.

As Seth carried Summer's prospective purchases, he felt special. Not because he

was with Summer, but because she trusted him enough with a major secret. And she

herself that she only trusted real friend with secrets.

*OK, the end of this chapter...next another chapter at the club. What is more fun

than that? Nothing, I say, besides a brand new episode of The O.C. in less than a

day! Yahoooo! Please review because this crazy author needs them to survive.*
