Hi, thanks for reviewing, here's chap 2…..
Chapter 2: Thoughts
Summer felt like walking up to Seth Cohen, and ripping out his heart. Because that's what he did to her. It had taken her a long time- nearly a whole year, to admit to herself that she like him and this was the thanks she got? She pulled open the door of the school and marched inside. A few stared at her. Let them. She'd mow them down. She seriously wasn't in any mood today. Not like she was any other day, but still. She spotted Anna by her locker and hurried over. "He still has feelings for you."
Anna turned. "Hi."
"Cohen. He's still got feelings for you."
"We broke up, Summer." Anna said, shutting her locker. "The only reason I broke up with him was because he loves you."
Summer avoided her eyes, "He may have… but not anymore."
Anna actually laughed aloud and closed her locker. "Walk with me."
Summer fell into step beside her and the two made their way down the hall. Summer, as usual turned more than a few of the guy's heads. Six months ago she would have cared. But not anymore.
"So what happened?" Anna asked.
"He thinks about you--- I mean constantly."
"It's because I'm leaving. We are friends, you know. How would you feel if one of your friends was leaving?"
"You are my friend, Anna. I just…" Summer bit her bottom lip. She just what exactly?
"Well, when I'm gone, Seth will be all yours again. He's been all yours since the moment he saw you, you just… didn't see him."
Summer felt her eyes fill with tears. Ah, guilt. It was a new feeling for her, something she never thought she'd experience over how she treated Seth Cohen. He didn't exist to her until recently. She gave a small nod, and rushed into the bathroom, nearly knocking Marissa over.
"Sum?"
Summer dashed to the mirror, and dabbed at her eyes.
Marissa crossed her arms in back of her. "What happened?"
Summer gave a little sob. "Nothing…"
"Start talking."
"It's Cohen," She whispered.
"Seth?" Marissa asked, walking up beside her and sitting on the vanity. "What did he do?"
"Nothing. And everything," Summer replied, wielding her arms about. "Now look at me. I look so… so… eww."
Marissa wet a paper towel and handed it to Summer. "Start talking."
Summer opened her mouth to speak, but caught the reflection of a freshman entering in the mirror. She turned on her heel and stared at the girl. "This bathroom is off limits."
The girl's mouth flopped open. "I didn't see a sign…"
"Well, maybe you should have looked closer!" Summer snapped.
The girl stared at her.
"Go! Vamanos!" Summer insisted, making shooing motions with her hands.
The girl turned, and left the bathroom.
"Summer," Marissa said exasperated.
"Okay. So, yeah--- Cohen. We're laying on his bed, and he starts thinking about Anna!"
"He started to think about Anna?" Marissa asked.
Summer nodded. "I could tell. Why should he be thinking about Anna while he's with me?"
"Maybe he wasn't at all. This is Seth. Maybe he was going over a Rooney song in his head."
Summer gave her a look. "Trust me. I know he was thinking of her."
"I think you should talk to him about it. I mean, you didn't get into him until Anna showed up."
"Why does everyone keep saying that?" Summer asked.
Marissa stared at her. "Because it's the truth?"
Summer sighed.
"Well, what do you like about him?"
Summer stared at her. "I… I don't know."
It was Marissa's turn to stare.
"He's had me on this pedestal since I met him, Coop. I just don't want to lose him. I don't want to let him down."
"Why would you let him down?"
Summer didn't answer her. She just stared at her reflection, at the tears threatening to fall.
