Summer looked at Freddy and turned back around and continued with trying to find her key. Freddy walked up right behind her.
'Summer, can I explain?' Freddy asked timidly. Slowly Summer turned around. She felt bad about yelling at him before, so she thought she would give him a chance. Anyways, Amanda was known for seducing guys.
'You have 2 minutes,' she said quietly. Freddy walked right up in front of her.
'Ok, I really did break it off with Amanda. I don't know why I kissed her, I was a little upset, I was vulnerable, and I'm so sorry if I hurt you feelings,' Freddy said, putting his hands on Summer's upper arms. Summer smiled to herself, but the functioned into her head what Freddy had just said.
'Why where you upset?' She said, looking right into Freddy's eyes. Freddy squirmed. Did he really want to tell her the real reason?
'Well?' Summer said, finally finding her keys in her pocket, 'I need to go to bed. The party's tomorrow and I don't want bags under my eyes when Chris sees me,' Summer said. Hearing this made Freddy's heart sink. For some reason, he grew angry and needed to tell Summer.
'Why is it such a big deal if he likes you? What's wrong with me?' Freddy exploded. Summer stood there, dumbfounded, not knowing what to say, or if that was what Freddy had really meant. Freddy realized what he had done and tried to correct himself.
'I mean, what's wrong with just being friends with me? The band's going to be busy and neither will have time for a relationship. Plus, if you have him as a boyfriend, I see us drifting apart,' Freddy said. Summer snapped out of her gaze and unlocked her door.
'Freddy, what's wrong with you? Of course we wouldn't drift apart. Would you relax? It's not like I've never had a boyfriend before,' She said. Freddy snapped. She just didn't get it, but he couldn't tell her.
'Summer, YOU DON'T GET IT! JUST…..auuhhh…fuck this!' Freddy said and headed towards his own house. Summer dropped her keys when Freddy yelled.
'What the fuck is your problem Jones?' Freddy turned around when Summer yelled. She only called him Jones when she was seriously pissed at him. Freddy walked right up to Summer.
'It's always about you Summer. Because I know guys like Chris, they take what they want and then they leave. But you don't get it, so FUCK IT!' Freddy started to turn. Summer didn't know what had gotten into Freddy, but her eyes were rimmed with tears. She grabbed his shoulder and turned him around.
'Don't walk away from me after you yell at me about nothing!' Summer said through clenched teeth.
'Let me go Summer, I mean it, I'm not dealing with you right now,' Freddy said, trying to get away from Summer, but she kept hold of his shoulders. Before he realized what he had done, he shoved Summer so she fell back on the grass. Summer wasn't hurt, but too surprised to get up. Freddy realized what he had done and tried to help Summer up.
'Oh my god, Summer, I'm so sorry, I don't know what's wrong with me-' he got out before Summer stood up and slapped him across the face.
'Don't fucking touch me again Jones,' She whispered before grabbing her key and slamming the front door in Freddy's face. The truth was, Freddy didn't know why he acted the way he did. It was true that he was lying when he said Summer only cared about herself. He walked off the porch and started towards his house, his head hung. He didn't know what he could do now. He just shoved he best friend to the ground and probably out of his life.
Summer walked into her house. She stopped crying by now, she was only angry. She told herself how could she like someone like him? He only went out with posers because they were popular, he was a dumbass…and then she thought…but the nicest person she knew (sometimes), and the most caring. She shook the thoughts from her head and went to her room.
She was getting ready for bed when she noticed that her cell phone on her dresser was blinking. She had left her cell phone in her room so it wouldn't get stolen at Battle of the Bands, and there was a message on it. She opened it up and dialed her voicemail number and began listening.
'Uhh..hey..Summer? It's Chris,' she heard his voice say. She smiled and kept listening.
'Well, I know it's short notice, but I was wondering….if…you…uh…wanted to go to the party tomorrow night, at Dewey's, as…like, my date?' Summer wanted to dance around her room and cheer, 'Well, just call me later. I should be out for a while, so you can call me tonight if you want. I'll talk to ya later then. Bye.' Summer closed the phone and screamed into her pillow. He asked her to be his DATE! She was too excited. Tomorrow she would go to the mall with Katie and buy a new outfit.
Summer couldn't wait to talk to Chris, literally. She opened her phone and pressed the button that called Chris' number. The line rang three times, and then someone picked up.
'Hello, you've reached Chris' phone, Eric speaking, how can I help you?' Summer could tell it was Eric answering Chris' phone.
'Hey Eric, it's Summer.'
'Oh, hold on, I'll give the phone to Chris. HEY CHRIS! IT'S YOUR FANTASY GIRLFRIEND!' Eric yelled when he threw the phone to Chris. Chris flipped him off and spoke into the phone.
'Hello?' He said
'Hey Chris, it's Summer.'
'Oh, hey Summer. I guess you got my message?' Chris said, Summer could almost hear the smile in his voice which made her smile even more.
'Yea,' she said, 'Uh, I would love to go with you,' She almost squealed into the phone.
'Awesome,' Chris said, with a couple 'auuhhhhs' from the backround, 'oh, I'll pick you up tomorrow around 8?'
Summer was soo excited, 'Yea, I'll be ready.' She gave him her address and they hung up. Summer danced around her room and again screamed into her pillow. She quickly dialed Katie's number and told her what just happened. By the end of the phone call, both their throats hurt from squealing so much. They made plans to go to the mall around 2 the next day and hung up.
Summer layed in her bed and fell fast asleep.
She was at a party, and she was dancing. All of a sudden, she was dancing with someone. He was behind her, and she liked dancing with him.
'You're a really good dancer, Chris,' she said and turned around. She saw Freddy's face, except it was twisted with pain. All of a sudden, Summer was crying and Freddy was falling down a deep dark hole…
Summer sat up in her bed, screaming. Tears where on her cheeks, and she was sweating. She realized it was just a dream. She had seen Freddy fall, but she was still angry with him. She shook her head and layed back down. She looked at the thermometer on her wall, 51 degrees F. It had been one of the coldest summers that Horace Green had ever seen, and it was only suppose to be a high of 55 the next day. Summer thought about her date with Chris and soon found herself in lala land with Chris.
She woke up the next morning around one in the afternoon, and raced to get a shower. When she got out, she only had 20 minutes until Katie was going to be there to go shopping. Katie was going to go over to Summer's after the mall and get ready over there, and Eric was going to pick Katie up in his car, and Chris would take Summer in his car. Summer threw on her Ramones T-shirt, a pair of jeans, green converse, and a 'Mega-Dork' sweatshirt. She threw her hair up in a ponytail and grabbed a pair of sunglasses before Katie broke her horn in the driveway.
Summer and Katie were singing at the top of their lungs with the AC/DC Back in Black CD that was playing at full blast in Katie's car until they reached the parking lot of the mall.
Summer and Katie headed straight to Hot Topic and began looking at the dresses and skirts. Katie bought a new red and black plaid skirt that came with a black and chain belt, new jewelry, and a red and purple tie die long sleeve shirt that actually looked really nice with the skirt. She didn't need to buy shoes, she already had red and black ones over at Summer's house. Summer bought a blue and black striped black long sleeve shirt that came to just above the belly button, and low ride flare jeans. She also bought new guitar dangle earrings and new 14 gauge horseshoe cartilage earrings. She would just wear her new bright blue converse to the party, and her black nail polish.
The two girls walked out of Hot Top with 3 bags each, filled with clothes, makeup and new jewelry. They walked out to Katie's car and started the drive home. Summer turned the CD player back on, but played Led Zeppelin. Summer looked at the clock, which now said 6 o'clock.
'Katie, step on it, we only have 2 HOURS to get ready! And I still need to straighten my hair!' Summer yelled. They both laughed and Katie stepped on the gas.
When they got to Summer's room, they both started straightening their hair, which took a good hour each. While they were doing their hair and makeup, they watched the repeat of Battle of the Bands, and cheered when they saw Righteously Unknown waiting in the green room or back stage.
Both the girls were completely dressed and had their hair, makeup, and teeth ready by 7:30. Summer was incredibly nervous.
'Do you think he'll like me?' Summer said anxiously. Katie laughed.
'I think he already does. I talked to Eric today, and the subject of you and Chris came up,' Katie said, turning off the TV.
'Oh yea, and what did you guys talk about?' Summer said, pushing Katie's shoulder playfully.
'Eric said he likes you. He's never asked a girl out this quickly after meeting her before. Eric said it means he really likes you,' Katie said, smiling. Summer squealed.
'OH MY GOD! I MIGHT ACTUALLY HAVE A DECENT BOYFRIEND!' Summer screamed, and then the doorbell rang. She instantly blushed, it could have been Chris, and he might have just heard everything she just screamed. Summer went to the door and opened it. It was Freddy.
'What's up Spaz?' Katie said from behind Summer, who was just stand in the doorway, looking at Freddy, hand on her hip and leaning on the doorknob.
'What do you want Freddy?' Summer said. Katie looked at Summer confusingly. She had never seen Summer this mad to see Freddy.
'Can we talk?' Freddy whispered. All of a sudden, Chris and Eric appeared from behind Freddy.
'Uh, hey, Summer, Katie, ready to go?' Eric said. Freddy looked at Summer.
'She's almost ready, she'll meet you at your car, we need a minute,' Freddy said, pushing into Summer's apartment. Summer sighed and told Chris and the other 2 she'd meet them at the cars. Summer closed the door and faced Freddy who was now really upset.
'What's he doing here?' Freddy asked.
'We're going to the party,' Summer said, almost as angrily.
'Together?' Freddy shouted.
'No, not together, we're just going in the same car and not going to hang out there. Yes, we're going together,' Summer said, and started turning the doorknob to leave. Freddy shot his arm out and stopped the door from opening. Summer turned around, only to be face to face, well, face to chest (Freddy was about 5 inches taller than her). Freddy put both his hands on the door so Summer's back was against the door and her head was between his outstretched arms that were leaning on the door.
'You can't go with him,' Freddy said.
'Why?' Summer shot back. Freddy decided it was now or never. He leaned his head down and kissed Summer's lips. Summer was shocked beyond belief, and didn't try to pull away. Soon, Summer's hands were on the back of Freddy's neck and his arms were still on the wall.
Suddenly, Summer pulled away, and slapped Freddy's face. Freddy was afraid this was going to happen. Her kissing him back was just too good to be true.
Summer enjoyed the kiss as much as Freddy did, until her mind came back to her. She slapped Freddy and opened the door.
'Freddy Jones, don't touch me again. You're a disgusting pig who tries to use his looks to get out of trouble. Well that train stops here,' she said and ran out to Chris' car. Freddy was left in Summer's living room, upset more than ever. He groaned, and walked out to his mom's new BMW and drove to the Studio party. It was going to be a long night seeing Chris and Summer there together.
