"Hey Coop," Summer said on the phone. She was walking around her bed like she just couldn't stay put. She hadn't changed her clothes and it was very unlike her. This day seemed longer than ever, not to mention weirder and unbelievably crazy.

"Summer, what happened?" Marissa said with concern for her friend. She was in her own bedroom as well, combing her hair in front of the mirror.

Summer was walking back and forth, "Do you think I have any idea?! I was shocked, humiliated, embarrassed."

"Humiliated? Embarrassed, I can understand why but humiliated?! About what?"

"Duh, Cohen totally confessed his feelings for me. A geek just told me, in front of the whole student body, that he loves me. What can top that as the most humiliating thing ever," Summer replied. She was, of course, saying her feelings, but inside, she really had this chest thumping like crazy. She never felt this way before, especially not with Seth Cohen.

Marissa walked up and sat on her bed, "I don't get you. Seth just spilled out his true feelings for you and you treat it as a way to embarrass you. Honestly Summer, can you tell me that you don't have feelings for Seth Cohen?"

"Uhh…" Summer couldn't tell Marissa. Well, yeah, they've been best friends since, like, ever, but that doesn't give her the go-signal to just 'fess up.

"Well," Marissa asked.

"No! Of course not! Why would I ever like a freak like he is? That would be so unlike me," Summer's voice was shaky yet she sounded still sure of herself. But her face, totally could tell that she was lying.

Marissa sighed, "Summer, I wonder when you'll ever be true to yourself. Just when you need someone to actually talk to, I'm here for you. I got to go, Ryan's here."

"Yeah, sure, whatever! 'Night Coop," Summer hang up. She sunk in her bed. She took a deep breath then touched her lips. She closed her eyes as she remembered how that kiss with Seth was. It was soft yet tender, bitter but sweet. It felt so right because he was so sure of what he was doing. I cannot believe Seth Cohen kissed me… and that I actually liked it. She thought to herself, then opening her eyes, sat up, took her clothes to take a bath and giving her self a snap back to reality.

Seth was at the kitchen, in front of their fridge. He was tapping his right foot and can't seem to decide what he will do – about the fridge and about what just happened in school. Ryan was sitting at one of the chairs, observing how Seth was reacting. He coughed, "Uhh… Seth. Do you have any plans of closing that door? You've been staring at it for, I dunno, 3 minutes?"

Seth closed the fridge. He sat in across Ryan and started talking, "Why is it that when I lay my feelings on the line, I always end up clueless. I don't get it! She kissed me, and it just wasn't a plain kiss. It was with passion- filled with so much emotion." Ryan sat up straight, glanced at his watch and nodded at Seth. "Seriously, Ryan, you and Melissa have taken the step of getting serious, all with the 'I love you's' and all that. Why is it that when I try to take that step with Summer, I always don't want to see the end of it? I'm the one who takes the risk and ends up being the one who gets hurt."

Ryan walked up to him and patted his back, "Maybe she's just scared of her true feelings for you. Maybe she's just waiting for the right time. Maybe she didn't realize you'd love her the way that you actually do."

Seth looked at his brother. He took a heavy sigh, "Then I guess I won't be able to take another risk anymore. Maybe I'm getting tired of falling and getting stumbled by a hundred reasons. Maybe I'm just sick of… of… loving her and not having her." He stood up and looked back at Ryan before he left him, "I guess that's my last call."

Ryan was astounded by how mature Seth was with that conversation. I guess he's really hurt this time, he thought.
