This is my second OC fanfic entry. Hope you guys take time to read and review…

"So Coop, when are we going to shop for our prom dresses," Summer asked excitedly as she sat next to her best friend's chair. It was Algebra period and as usual, Mr. Carter was again 10 minutes late.

Marissa looked up from her phone, "I don't think I even want to go. I mean, Ryan's gonna be there and I'm not really sure of I want to see him again." Marissa and Ryan broke up a month ago. They went out for almost a year but the last few feuds got them fed up with their relationship. Although both admit that they've gotten over each other, they hadn't had a date ever since.

"Aww c'mon! Just because Chino's gonna be there doesn't mean you have to stay in your house and let him have all the fun," Summer replied. She's seen her best gal pal suffer from her breakup and she was devastated for her, as well. Summer would do anything to see Marissa and her genuine smile back. "Besides, you need to take some time off. Everything's been harsh lately so make this a treat to your wonderful, strong and beautiful self."

Marissa sighed, "I really don't know, Sum."

"Hey, if it makes you feel any better, I'll be your date," Summer offered. Knowing that it was impossible for Summer to give up and be stag for the event, Marissa looked at her with a 'really-now' look. Summer smiled, "Ok, maybe you can be my chaperone. C'mon Coop, I'll need you there."

Summer gave her most pleading look to her. Marissa shrugged her shoulders, smiled at her best friend and gave in, "I'm free on Friday."

"Yes!" Summer jumped up from her seat and hugged Marissa, like a daughter would hug her mom when she gives her ice cream. "I swear, Coop, this prom will be unforgettable."

"Hey Ryan, do you think wearing a trucker cap to accessorize a tux would be appropriate," Seth asked, standing from across Ryan's bed, holding the black trucker cap he was referring to. Ryan was sitting on his bed, very much busy with his laptop. He didn't seem to notice Seth.

"Ryan?! Hello? Earth to Ryan," Seth started to wave at him. "Ryan? Hey," he said, louder.

Ryan snapped back. He quickly closed his laptop the looked at Seth, "What?"

Seth, with his brows furrowed, said, "I was asking if this," he looked at the cap. Ryan stared at him with confusion. "Never mind. What' up with you?"

"Nothing," Ryan replied, putting his laptop aside. He got up and walked up to Ryan.

"There's something with that computer of yours," Seth said, sounding more of an interrogative detective.

"Dude, you're getting weird again," Ryan replied as he walked up to his brother. "Nothing is up." Ryan walked out of the room, leaving Seth and his trucker cap, clueless.

During dinner, Kirsten asked her two boys about the much-talked about event of the year. "So, are you guys attending?"

"Mom, I have been a prisoner of the anti-social world. This is my last chance to become one of them. Of course I will go," Seth replied as he drank his juice.

Sandy looked at Ryan, "What about you? You going?"

Ryan sat up and shrugged his shoulders, "I don't know."

Seth looked at him, quite shocked. He faced Ryan, "What do you mean you don't know. You have to go, man or else I won't be talking to anyone but… the… punch bowl."

As Ryan was about to answer, Sandy stood up with his empty plate and glass to take to the dishwasher. "Seth's right! You ought to go." Seth nodded in agreement of what his father just said. Kirsten smiled at Ryan.

He sighed then looked at Seth, "You got a spare tux?"
