Here's the thing
We started out as friends
It was cool, but it was all pretend
Yeah, yeah since you been gone
Summer (season haha, not the person)
"Zack!" Summer squealed, when the door opened to reveal the shaggy haired guitar player. "You're home! How was the beach?"
"Fun. How was New York?" Zack asked, flopping into a chair in the Hathaway living room.
"Wonderful. It would have been better if I had a friend there, though," Summer sighed, sitting down next to him.
"I missed you," Zack said, placing a famous Mooneyham lopsided grin on his face.
"I missed you, too," Summer said breathlessly. Those were words she loved to hear escape Zack's mouth. She had had a crush on him for such a long time. Still grinning, he placed his arm around her shoulders.
Dedicated, you took the timeWasn't long till I called you mine
All you'd ever hear me say
Is how I picture me with you
That's all you'd ever hear me say
Fall"Katie!" Summer screamed into the phone. "Katie, guess what?"
"The world is being attacked by little green monsters saying 'Katie is our master! Katie is our master'! Score! I knew I had some sort of contact with aliens!"
"Um…no," Summer said slowly. "Actually, Zack and I are going out!"
"Finally!" Katie said. "I thought that those little green monsters really were going to attack before he asked you out!"
Summer sighed. "I can see us getting old together, Katie. We're so perfect together."
"Oh," Katie said with mock sweetness, "Tear! Photoshop me some pictures of what your kids will look like, okay?"
"Great idea, Kate!" Summer squealed, hanging up the phone.
How can I put it
You put me on
I even fell for that stupid love song
Yeah, yeah since you been gone
How come I'd never hear you say I just wanna be with you
Guess you never felt that way

"I gotta go, Sum," Zack said into the phone. "Talk to you later."
"Okay, bye," Summer said, wrinkling her forehead. Usually she and Zack would talk for hours on the phone.
"Yeah."
"Wait! Zack! Isn't there something else you want to say?" Summer asked, crossing her fingers.
"No, what would I have to say?"
"I love you, maybe?" Summer said, beginning to anger.
"Yeah, okay. Bye Summer," Zack said, hanging up the phone.
"I love you, too Zachary." Summer said, her eyes welling up with tears.
But since you been gone
I can breathe for the first time
I'm so movin' on, yeah, yeah
Thanks to you, now I get what I want
Since you been gone
Spring
"Did you see his face?" Katie laughed into the phone.
"No, Katie, I missed it," Summer said, her voice dripping with sarcasm. "I was only the one who made him make that face."
"I know, I know," Katie laughed some more. "But it was so hilarious. His eyes got so big when you told him you wanted to break up."
"Like he thought I was just going to go along being his girlfriend after how he treated me. And then when I caught him in the closet with Krissi, that did it."
"Well, he can have Krissi. Maybe he can teach her how to spell her name." Katie said.
"Oh, hold on, someone's on the other line." Summer said quickly, answering the other end of the telephone. "Hello?" You had your chance, you blew it
Out of sight, out of mind
Shut your mouth, I just can't take it
Again and again and again and again
"Sum?" Zack spoke timidly into the phone.
"I prefer Summer from those who aren't my loved ones," Summer replied icily.
"We're close, though, aren't we Tinkerbell?"
"Summer. Call me Summer, Mooneyham."
"Sorry," Zack mumbled.
"Why did you call?" Summer said, flipping a lock of raven hair.
"To talk to you. Is that a crime?" Zack said.
"No. But I'm talking to Katie, so I suggest you call Krissi, if she's smart enough to pick up the phone when it rings."
With that, Summer switched back to where Katie was waiting.
"Kates? I gotta go, kay? I think there's something I need to do." Summer said smiling. She wasn't off of the phone for long, however, because as soon as she hung up with Katie she quickly dialed another number.
Since you been goneI can breathe for the first time
I'm so movin' on, yeah, yeah
Thanks to you now I get what I want
Since you been gone
"Hello?"
"Freddy? Hi, its Summer. I was wondering if maybe you wanted to go to the movies with me on Friday."
I can get what I wantSince you been gone
This isn't my most favorite song, but it seemed to work well for the story. Anyhoo, please read and review!
