Chapter 3: Old Habits and Breaking Rules
The gang had gone out for the soul purpose of eating lunch, but Marissa suggested they go site seeing. Ryan was really excited about it as was Summer, but Seth hated the idea. Site seeing meant having to spend more time with the gross twosome Ryrissa and of course the dork that used to be, Summer. They all got into Marissa's car and took a drive into town. Marissa and Ryan's flirting in the front seat made the ride a painful one for Seth. But sitting down besides Summer somewhat brought ease to him. "Where here!"
Initially the four planned on sight seeing together, but Marissa thought it'd be a better idea if she and Ryan went their separate ways from Seth and Summer. Summer didn't seem to mind, but Seth did. After a grueling 3 hour of awkwardness, Marissa and Ryan met up with that at her car. The couple exchanges loving looks before hopping into the car. This only made Seth want to hurl more.
"We're home," Marissa shouted as she opened the door to Summer's house. Ryan and Seth ran up to their rooms to get some rest. Marissa crashed in the livingroom. While the three got some shuteye, Summer sat out on her doorstep with her heads rested in her hands. Her mom wasn't home again. Working, Summer thought sighing heavily. She stayed outside for several minutes before deciding to go back in.
As she got up, a car pulled into her driveway. She looked down at her watch 6:30, she wondered which one of Marissa's friends came over so early. As their headlights died down, Summer sighed. It wasn't any of Marissa's friends it was her boyfriend. As of late, he had been acting really weird around her. He got out of the car and walked over to her. He hugged her and gave her a peck on her cheek. "Let's go in the back"
Summer only nodded. He linked his arms with hers and led them to the back, which also was the pool area. Summer pulled out a chair for both of them and they both sat down facing each other. Bobby, moved closer to her and took pulled her head in for a kiss. After pulling away, Bobby began to tap his finger on the arm rest part of the chair.
"You have to tell me something, what is it?" Summer asked tiredly. Bobby's bit down on his lower lip like a girl and let out a breath of air. Summer crossed her arms and titled her head slightly to the left. Bobby looked up from the ground into her eyes, Summer shook her head. He didn't even need to say anything, she knew what he wanted to tell her. "You slept with her didn't you?"
Bobby nodded. Summer's eyes watered up as she got up from her chair. "You're such a fucking asshole. I'm so stupid for actually believing you when you said you wouldn't see your ex again. You fuck face!"
She moved around him and angrily walked towards the back door. Bobby's abruptly got up from his seat and violently took Summer by the arm and turned her arm. Bobby dragged her back to her seat and sat her down. "I'm sorry"
"Fuck you," Summer got up and walked for the door once again. "We are so fucking over. Just go back Cara, she's probably waiting for you to fuck her again"
"You know what, that's a great idea," Bobby said turning on her heels. Summer eyes watered up again, but she held back the tears. Bobby stopped halfway and turned to face Summer. " I was going to break up with you two weeks ago, but I felt sorry. And another thing, you were just a waste of my time"
Bobby laughed out loud and ran to his car. Summer heard the engine start and heard him drive away. She turned on her heels and dash into the woods-like area letting all the tears she was holding back flow down her flawless face.
Seth sighed moving away from the sliding door so he could close it fully. Summer had a boyfriend, but not anymore. He heard every word that had been exchanged between Summer and Bobby, he felt bad for her. He was going to run after her, but he it wasn't his place to do that. He heard a knock at the door. "Come in"
"Man, Marissa sleeps heavily," Ryan said shaking his head amusingly. He hurried over to Seth's bed and laid down. Seth sat at the corner of the room on a small chair and sighed. "What's Up?"
"Summer has a boyfriend," Seth said in a non-melancholy voice. Ryan jolted up from the bed and sadly looked at his brother. "But they just broke up. So technically she had a boyfriend"
"And this bothers you because..."
"I saw the whole thing happen. Bobby, that's her boyfriend's name by the way, cheated and on her. The look on her face was so hard to watch," Seth said staring at the carpeted floor.
"Whoa, all of a sudden you like her now?"
"I don't like her romantically, if that was where you were getting at, jackass. I just feel bad and besides, I just don't dislike her anymore," Seth informed her.
Ryan rolled his eyes. Something was telling Ryan that Seth like Summer. And knowing Seth, it probably had something to do with her physical changes. "Oh yeah, that's right. She got hot, therefore you like her in a non romantic kind of way"
"Right.. well I mean, never mind," Seth said. "Anyways, I'm bored. Let's go out tonight or something"
"Sure thing. I'll go tell Marissa," Ryan said getting up from the bed. Seth hurried over to the door and blocked it from Ryan. "Dude, move"
"Why do you have to bring her?"
"Uh, she's my girlfriend," Ryan told him pushing him away from the door. "She'll probably know where all the good clubs are at"
Seth smiled understandingly. Seth looked down at his wrist watch, they had hours more to go. Seth closed the door and walked back to his bed. He got under the sheets and drifted off to sleep.
Hours later..
Ryan barged into Seth's room. "Dude, don't you ever knock?"
"No, but we need to go" Ryan said. "Before Summer or her mom wakes up"
"OK," Seth said looking at himself through the dresser mirror one more time. Perfect, he thought before following Ryan downstairs and out the door. Marissa waited patiently at her car as she looked up at the stars in the sky. "So where we headed to?"
"Wherever," Marissa said opening the door. Ryan walked down toward the car with Seth hot on trail. They both got in as Marissa put the key into the ignition. Before she could turn the key and start the car, she heard a tap on her window. Marissa jumped and looked at who it was. It was Summer. Marissa quickly rolled down her window. "Summer, you're up"
"I was never asleep," Summer said looking weirdly at her cousin. She bent down to look in the car, both Seth and Ryan gave her a nervous smile which she returned only hers wasn't a nervous one. "Sneaking off again boys? Isn't that the reason why you two are here with us in the first place"
They were both quiet and secretly wishing she'd go away. Summer rolled her eyes and turned her attention back to Marissa. "You're breaking one of the house rules"
"I know, but who cares. You're mom won't know" Marissa said staring up her car. Summer took a step back as Marissa reversed out of the parking lot, she sighed. She was going to need to think up of an excuse as to why they were out so late. Marissa stopped at the end of the driveway. "Don't lock the door"
"I won't. Just be home before five," Summer said walking into the house. Marissa nodded and drove off into the distance.
*************
The sneaking out of the house continued for weeks, but one night they got caught and both Marissa and Summer were grounded. The punishment wasn't too bad for both Ryan and Marissa considering they'd be spending a whole lot of time together.
More weeks rolled by. Over the few weeks, Seth and Summer hung out with one another, being as they got no one else to hang around with. Their time together consisted mostly of talking beside the pool. They were well on their way to becoming really good friends. While they hung out, Marissa and Ryan hung out in Marissa's room doing God knows what.
The very last day of June, everyone inside the house, except for two, were all asleep after a long and tiring day. Summer and Seth were both restless as they looked at their alarm clock, 12:30PM. Groaning at the same time, they threw back their sheets and stumbled out of bed. At the same time both opened their sliding doors and walked out onto the balcony. The walked out and looked over the rail, unaware of each other's presence. At the same time they turned their heads slowly toward one another. Summer jumped back and held her hand over her chest, Seth took in deep breaths. "Sorry"
"No need to apologize. This is your balcony, I'm just the guest," Seth said taking a seat on one of two chairs that were out on the balcony. Summer sat in the other.
"Well you've been living here for weeks now, so this is your balcony too" Summer said looking up at the stars. "Sorry about my mom grounding you and Ryan for a month, she's just like that, you know"
"My mom's the same thing," Seth said chuckling a little. Seth looked down at the pool area and memories of the day Summer and Bobby broke up came flashing back into his mind. Without thinking he asked, "Are you OK?"
"What do you mean?"
"You know about your boyfriend a few weeks ago," Seth said softly. "I kinda was eavesdropping"
"I figured," Summer smiled rolling her eyes. Seth was baffled, why wasn't she getting pissed off and bit his head off? "I had a feeling someone was listening in. I senses these things. But yeah I'm OK"
"Good," Seth said thinking of something to ask her. "What are you doing up?"
Silence filled the air, it wasn't an uncomfortable one though. Shifting in her seat, Summer sighed and looked up at the stars, "I couldn't sleep. I have a lot of things on my mind. Why are you still up?"
"Couldn't sleep either," Seth said. He wondered if Bobby was going through her mind, but erased the thoughts away when his eyes fell upon hers. He stared at them through her glasses for a several seconds. "Ever thought about getting contact lenses? They'll make you prett.."
"Prettier, right?" Summer asked and Seth nodded. It wasn't that he didn't think she was pretty enough as she but he figured she'd be hotter without the glasses. "I wasn't pretty then and not pretty enough now. You know Seth, I really thought you changed the first day you got here and how you've been acting around me these past few weeks. But I guess I was wrong, you're still that shallow boy who can't get pass the looks. Boys. Gah, all of a sudden I feel sleepy. I'll see you tomorrow. Goodnight Seth"
Seth opened his mouth to speak, but nothing came out. He sank in his seat before hitting himself upside the head. "Good going, Cohen"
