Even though Seth had been secretly watching Summer since Elementry School every now and then she simply took his breath away, her hair, braided in parts with strips off ribbon falling down only added to the perfection he was witnessing. She was dressed simply, faded denim jeans and a mix of a pink top with a light blue shivy over the top, but the way the sun highlighted the curves off her face, the brown eyes, the moist lips where lipbalm had recently been applied.

Seth: You, you're so beautiful.

Summer: What Cohen !

Seth: Oh nothing, I was just saying. You should get out my chair, you know, cause I was always sit there.

Summer: You can't like, own a chair Cohen.

Seth laughed at Summer's ditzy call, remembering back to her reaction to the hotel they had stayed in on the trip to Tijuana.

Summer: What are you laughin at Cohen, there is totally nothing funny happenen.

Seth couldn't handle it, he felt like he was going to fall over, tears started to escape from his eyes and he continued to laugh at summer. Mean while everyone else in the room just started at him, 'what the hell' some jock from the back murmerred. But Seth just kept on laughing, slowly it receeded, but he was still chucking to himself.

Girl: Glad you've still got your sense of humour Seth, it was always something that we had in common.

Upon hearing the voice Seth's head instantly snapped around, he knew that voice, it belonged to someone he didn't think he'd ever forget.

Seth: Oh my god, Anna. What are you doing here!

Anna smiled, glad to hear that Seth was happy to see her. The two embraced in a friendly hug and stood smiling at one another for a few moments.

Summer: We were like, talking here Anna.

Anna: Oh Sorry, I didn't know that laughing at someone was considered conversation.

Summer: He wasn't laughing at me (scowling) we were merely sharing a somewhat humurous joke.

Seth: (chuckling) Alright, thats about enough banter. Come on, we're all friends here.

They all sat back down, Seth made sure to shove Summer a little so that he got to sit in his chair. She didn't seem to happy about having to sit next to Chip whilst Seth and Anna sat together but she didn't say anything.

Seth: So Anna, tell me. What's going on? How come you're back from Pittsburg? Are you staying? How long? Where are you staying?

Anna: Seth, slow down.

Anna: I came back because I miss Newport. I mean, I went home and I realised that I was kind of over everything, you know. I've changed, I need different things in my life and what you said at the airport that day. Well, I think you might have been right.

Seth: You mean we can play Jenga?

Anna: No silly, I mean I think it's important that you're in my life.

Seth couldn't stop the huge smile that was now imprinting into his face. "This is awesome" he stated just before class begun.

Ryan sat by himself at lunch, looking over some Physics note that he needed to memorize for the test that afternoon. Lindsay hadn't eaten her lunch with Ryan recently, adopting to spend her lunchtimes in the library. Ryan thoughts turned away from Physics and onto Lindsay. Everything had been going perfectly until Caleb's annoucement, he couldn't believe how things had changed since then. He still had feelings for Lindsay, but they had been considerably dampened since the event, he knew she felt the same way, they had talked about it and both agreed just to be friends. He didn't know if it was the right thing to do, he felt weird just being her friend, and often when she had put particular effort into her appearance that morning he still wanted to kiss her. To tell her that she looked beautiful. His thoughts were interrupted by someone sitting down at his table.

"Seth ?" Ryan asked, not looking up from his books.

Summer: Not quite.

Ryan: Summer, whats going on ? I thought you would of been sitting with Seth.

Summer: Err, he's off with little miss 'I like comic books and sailing'

Ryan: Who?

Summer: Anna...

Ryan noted that Summer didn't look too pleased about this. He thought to himself 'so Anna has finally returned', he always assumed that she would and that her and Seth would get back together, he had always thought that she was better for Seth. She seemed to care more about him and was always there for him when he needed her. Ryan again thought back to his second night in Newport and Summer's reaction to Seth proclamation about his boat, "Eww" was all she had said.

Ryan: So I take it you're not too pleased.

Summer just looked at Ryan sarcastically.

Ryan: Oh come on Summer, they're just friends and she's just returned after like 6 months. Give the man a break, he still likes you, I don't know what you're worried about.

Summer: Sometimes I hate you Chino. And with that Summer grabbed up her books and stormed off.

Ryan returned his eyes back to his books, why should he care about Summer. It's not like she's ever done him any favours. Yet she had done him a favour the decorations on Lindsay's house, she had saved christmukkah. Grabbing his books Ryan chased after her...
