A short, pretty, very smart 16-year-old girl sat with her long time boyfriend, Zack on the park bench.
"Are we going to go somewhere tomorrow?" Zack asked looking down at the girl he held in his arms.
"Maybe," She replied obversely thinking and not really talking much notice of the world around her.
Summer's head was filled with many memories and thoughts of her friends, School of Rock and Zack. The predominate thought and memory was Katie and that was all Katie was now, a memory. Summer hadn't spoken to her for 3 years and she had always wanted to get in contact with her but Katie didn't use her old e-mail address, she had a new mobile number and her family had moved the same week Summer had last been at their house. She never got their new house number though Summer had to admit that she missed Katie and still thought of her as her best friend, since it had been 3 years she should really have moved on. Summer had sent Katie an e-mail once a week for the past 3 years. Zack had said that it was a waste of time but she didn't want to lost Katie but then again we don't always get what we want. 'It's too late now!' She thought. 'I've already lost her...'
"Are you thinking about Katie again?" Zack asked.
"Yeah. I miss her, Zack. If I didn't have you, I'd be so lost and so lonely," Summer said quietly staring into Zacks eyes.
"Aw, you're so sweet," Zack cooed. "And what about Freddy? You'd still have him," Zack said.
"He moved away 6 months ago!" Summer exclaimed. "And you tell me to move on," Summer teased.
"Why I oughta," Zack said in a cartoon like voice, before leaning in and kissing Summer lightly on the lips.
They sat on the bench until it was 4 o'clock, Summer had a dinner meeting with the Mayor concerning an important issue she had written to him about in a letter.
"Bye and good luck!" Zack said hugging Summer and planting a light kiss on her head.
...::::::...
Summer woke at 7am sharp, as always. She followed her usual routine, which took her through to 8:30 on the dot. She was meeting Zack at 11 so she had a few hours to kill. She checked her hair and outfit. It was all perfect, as usual. She practised her guitar for nearly an hour but she still had an hour and a half left.
'What to do now...' She wondered.
She went to her room, saw her computer and set it up. She logged on to the Internet and MSN Instant Messenger.
(A/N: Instant Messenger will be known as MSN or MSN Messenger cause that's what I'm used 2 and I decided that's what they use, k? In all MSN convocations I'm using MSN pics, the hearts and stuff but it's the shortcuts so yeah)
Freddy was on and she got really excited and nervous. She hadn't spoken to him in 2 months. She had tried to call him and visa-versa but they couldn't seem to catch each other. In the end they both gave up.
She clicked on 'Send an Instant Message' then on Freddy's name.
She typed what she thought wouldn't scare him and what he'd reply to.
'Here goes nothing...' She thought.
Summer, the girl not the season: Hey there Spazzy! :D
Freddy the Freak: Hey Tink! ()
Summer, the girl not the season: ()How you been? Anything interesting happenin'?
Freddy the Freak: Good, good. Nothing really interesting. You?
Summer, the girl not the season: Not bad, Nothing really.
Freddy the Freak: Hows Zacki boy?
Summer, the girl not the season: LOL He's fine
Freddy the Freak: We need to catch up... Can I call you right now?
Summer, the girl not the season: Sure!!
Freddy the Freak: Talk to you soon.
He said before logging off. A minute later the phone rang, it was Freddy. They spoke for the hour that Summer had left before Zack was coming over to pick her up.
She heard the doorbell.
"Freddy, Zacks here," She said.
"Oh ok. Can I talk to him?" Freddy asked.
"Sure!" Summer smiled.
She walked to the door and saw Zack.
"Hi," he mouthed noticing she was on the phone.
"Hi," Summer said planting a kiss on his cheek. "It's Freddy. Do you want to talk to him?" She asked.
"Yeah!" Zack exclaimed excitedly.
Summer handed the phone to Zack and he spoke to Freddy for half an hour. Zack was sure he hadn't spoken to Freddy for 3 months but Summer knew it had only been 3 weeks max. She laughed on the inside.
They were both happy after talking to Freddy but it made Summer miss Katie more, she wasn't sure why.
Summer decided to push all thoughts of Katie from her mind and enjoy her day with Zack. Then when she got home that night and had done all her work and study she'd go on MSN messenger and see if anyone was on and wanted to go to the movies the next day.
'Sounds good,' Summer thought self satisfied.

Katie woke on her bed with a knitted blanket over her, her bass in her hand and her 'Who' CD playing quietly in the background. Her mum must have turned on the CD and put the blanket on her. She tilted her head to look at her clock. 12:30 PM, it read. That's what the clock had said the last time she had looked at it though it was 12:30am not 12:30pm. That was last night when she was playing her bass, she must have fallen asleep while she was playing. Remembering that brought back the emptiness of not being part of School of Rock any more. She still wasn't over it.
'I need to get in contact with them,' She thought to herself. 'Now all I need is a way to get hold of them!'
She pondered on the thought of how she used to get hold of them, talk to them at school and band practise and on the phone. There was no way she was going to ring them so she gave up.
Katie finally got out of bed, put her bass away and sat down at her computer.
Katie didn't come out of her room for long time. She listened to some music, surfed the net looking at band websites and pictures before she made her way down stairs for breakfast.
Katie went to the kitchen and found a note from her mum on the bench. It read,
'Katie dear
I've gone shopping. We need some food. There are some things in the cupboard if you're hungry but there's not much.
I'll be home around 3 or 4pm. I have a hairdresser's appointment at 2.
Love you sweetie.
Love Mum.'
Katie put the note down and had a few pieces of toast for breakfast. She soon returned to her room and sat at her computer which she had left on.
She decided to check her e-mails and sign into MSN.
Ali was on and she spoke to Katie.
Ali Cat: Hey. Hows it goin?
Katie speaking!: Hi! Good. You?
Ali Cat: Not bad. So are we going somewhere tomorrow?
Katie speaking!: Sure! Where?
Ali Cat: Not sure...
That's when it hit her!
'Katie you idiot!' She thought. It was so simple.
Katie speaking!: Got to go! Bye!
Ali Cat: Ok. Bye!
Katie hurried to log out of her e-mail and MSN. After she had clicked 'Sign out' the page refreshed and showed a 'Sign in' button. She clicked it and typed in her old e-mail address, bassitup and her password.
'I hope its still there!' She thought.
She waited impatiently as the page loaded.
A little box popped up in the bottom of her screen reading 'You have 287 unread e-mails.'
"Oh my goss!" she said out loud.
The first thing she did was see who was online.
"Summer!" she yelled pumping her fist in the air.

(A/N: What did you think? It was really rushed cause I have exams soon and decided that I should do a quick up date. I'm hoping to do some one-shots and song fics cause I've never done one of them before. Katie's old e-mail address in this fic is actually an e-mail address. LOL! Well don't expect an update soon. Sorry!
