Chapter 7

The End of the World as We Know It

The steps of Harbor were crowded. Summer walked up the steps, a total nervous wreck. What was she going to say to him? Was she even going to say anything to him? Was he even here? Oh god, oh god , oh god, oh god, oh god!

"Summer!" Ryan called to her as he was walking towards her. Seth was nowhere in sight.

"Ryan, hi."

"How are you?" Ryan, ever the hero. He was looking at her in pity. She hated that.

"I'm fine." She really wanted to ask, but she couldn't.

"He's already in class. He hasn't been one for pleasantries lately." Ryan, ever the mind reader. "I'm sorry for what he said, but he…he really feels…badly."

"Good." She said the word with such venom that she actually felt bad. "I mean, he was just speaking his mind, right?"

"Yeah, but, you know Seth, he thinks a thousand things a second and somehow always manages to say the least true, or the meanest. You know he didn't mean it, Summer."

Of course she knew that. But it still hurt because she loved him so much. It pained he would even think of something on the vicinity of what he had said. And who knows what else he thought of her.

The bell rang.

"Bye, Ryan. I'll see you later." She put on the fakest smile and walked past the boy who made her notice the love of her life.

Well, she wouldn't have to see him for…. another forty-three minutes and fifty-eight seconds. Joy. Upon entering her first period class, Summer noticed the entire population of that class was staring at her. Great, make me even more nervous than I already am. I mean really, maybe you'll cause me to have another freak out and this time I'll actually kill myself. Ignoring the students and her thoughts, Summer took a seat in the back of the class.

They didn't do anything interesting in Earth Science, well not that Summer would know, it wasn't like she listened. Three minutes and twelve seconds. She didn't want to get to lit early, but she didn't want to get to lit late because they would create a grand entrance and she so did not want one today, especially in that class. So she opted for early.

He wasn't there. Yet. Class started in thirty-six seconds.

Twenty-three seconds.

Fifteen seconds.

Seven.

Three.

Seth Cohen walked in the door. And Ryan was right. Seth looked like shit. No, he looked like shit that got hit by a car. He looked around the class expecting to see her, searching her out. His eyes landed on hers in the corner. Hesitantly, he walked towards her, never breaking eye contact. She didn't falter under his gaze, she held it stronger than he did.

Except he got close, and now she was slowly starting to panic. She took a deep breath and nodded to the seat beside her. Seth looked at her gratefully and sat down, finally breaking eye contact.

And then the worst thing happened.

The teacher wasn't there. He had the flu. Who the hell gets the flu in California? And why today?

"Summer, I'm sorry." She just stared at him. Not knowing what to do or say, Seth continued. "I didn't mean what I said, I was being stupid. You of all people should know how stupid I can get. I love you, and it's killing me that I hurt-"

He was cut off by her lips. It was a short, sweet kiss. One that told him she forgave him, that it didn't matter.

"I love you, too." He smiled. She smiled. The whole class smiled. Or laughed, but they didn't care.

Okay, so maybe she shouldn't have forgave him that easily, but he actually said it. He didn't write it in a note, he actually said it. And to her. What was she going to do? She could have yelled at him, but she didn't want to. And it's not like they were together when he said those things. So she kissed him and told him she loved him.

"So, hey, you wanna grab a twist after school?"

"A twist for me and a sundae for you."

"I think I'll have a twist today."

"You're so cheesy, Cohen."

"Yeah, but you love me."

"I really do."

The End

Okay, I could have gone longer but I didn't want to, lol. I had lost interest in writing this story, and this chapter only took me awhile, and it turned out pretty bad, oh well! It's done!
