A/N- Thanks for my reviews again...again, if you have any suggestions of ideas I could add, lemme know!
Chapter 5
When Summer had gotten back from the party, Marissa was already dressed in her pajamas, reading a book. She looked up when Summer dropped her keys onto the table.
"Where did you disappear to, Coop? Cohen and I spent like, an hour trying to find you," Summer complained, searching to find where her pajamas were.
"I left a message on your cell," Marissa informed her. Summer just continued looking for her pajamas. Marissa sighed. She wondered what Josh and what Ryan were doing right at that moment. "Sum, I have to tell you something…" Marissa started. Summer whirled around.
"Oh my god…no!" Summer said, with a shocked look on her face. "You can't be!"
"Sum, what the hell are you talking about?" Marissa asked, a bit annoyed.
"You can't be pregnant! I'll kick Ryan's ass if he's the father," Summer said, going on about something that had absolutely nothing to do with what Marissa wanted to tell her.
"Sum, calm down! I'm not pregnant!" Marissa basically screamed. "I met a guy!" Summer stopped acting hysterical.
"Good. So…you met a guy? That's AWESOME!" Summer said. She had by now, changed into her pajamas. She walked over and sat down next to Marissa. "Give me all the dets."
"His names Josh. He's head of the football team and well, he seems really nice. I was hung up because Ryan went off with some girl called Liv and Josh was all sweet and said that he couldn't imagine anyone wanting to go on a break with me," Marissa said, explaining it bit by bit, somewhat reliving the moment.
"That's really great Coop!" Summer said happily. "Are you seeing him again?"
"Yeah, we have a date for tomorrow," Marissa replied.
"Just be careful," Summer warned.
"Sum, I have nothing to worry about. I'm trying to forget about this Ryan thing," Marissa said. Although that will probably be impossible, she added silently.
"But, don't you still…you know, like Ryan?" Summer asked, sounding a little confused.
"I do, but he's obviously not interested in me that way. He seemed really into that Liv girl he spent half the night dancing with," Marissa muttered.
"Coop, I'm really happy you found a guy," Summer smiled.
"Thanks, I'm really happy too," Marissa said, returning the smile.
The next day, Josh had called and arranged to pick up Marissa at 4:00 so they could get the 4:30 show of Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. Summer had spent half the day helping Marissa get ready. She picked out a nice sundress with matching light pink flats and straightened her hair. When Josh came and picked Marissa up, Summer went straight to Seth and Ryan's dorm room. She didn't want to tell Ryan just yet about Josh, but she had to tell Seth.
"Cohen?" Summer called, banging on the door. There was no answer. "COHEN!" Summer called again. Suddenly, a blonde haired girl opened the door.
"Who are you?" the girl asked.
"Who am I? Who are you?" Summer replied.
"I'm Liv," Liv said.
"Well I'm Summer. Is Seth in there?" Summer asked impatiently. So this was in the infamous Liv? She looked like that skank Jess from Harbor, Summer thought to herself. That's when Ryan came to the door.
"Hey Summer," Ryan greeted.
"Hey Ryan, nice trailer trash you picked up," she replied. Good thing Liv wasn't there. She had gone back into the apartment.
"Thanks for your support Summer," Ryan said sarcastically.
"So you forgot about Marissa so fast, huh?" Summer asked, starting to get angry.
"Look, Summer, it's not what you think," Ryan began.
"Save it. Marissa never meant to hurt Trey and you should know that. Despite the fact that she's trying to move on she still loves you," Summer said. "Where's Cohen?"
"Um…he's at the coffee shop," Ryan managed to say. Without another word, Summer walked away. Ryan watched her leave, confused. Marissa still loved him?
Summer saw Seth sitting inside the coffee shop and ran to greet him. She had to tell him the latest news- Marissa and Josh.
"Hey Cohen," she said warmly, sitting next to him on the lounge chairs.
"Sum! Hey!" Seth replied, leaning over and giving her a quick peck on the lips. "What's going on?"
"Actually, I've got some news," Summer said, getting on topic. "Marissa met someone new."
"What?" Seth asked.
"Marissa met a guy," Summer explained.
"But…that totally defeats the purpose of trying to get them back together!" Seth complained.
"I know, but apparently they met last night at the party, and they're at the movies right now," Summer reported. "Cohen, they can't be together. Well they can, but what about Ryan and Marissa?"
"I know what you mean," Seth said. "Ryan's been hanging out with some girl called Liv who looks a lot like Marissa's pool floater girl."
"Jess. Her name was Jess," Summer said. "Seth, what should we do?"
"I don't know. I guess we should wait and see…only time will tell," Seth said.
"Okay, call me crazy, but that was a really good movie," Marissa exclaimed when she and Josh emerged from the doors after the movie had ended.
"It was actually much better than I thought it would be," Josh replied. "That blonde haired girl looked really hott."
"Hey!" Marissa said, swatting his arm. "Her name is Blake Lively."
"Whatever," Josh replied, with a grin on his face. There was silence for a while. "Maybe next weekend we can see Star Wars together or something."
"Yeah, that would be good," Marissa said happily. "Actually, that would be great."
"Great," Josh replied, satisfied with her answer. When they neared Marissa's dorm, before leaving, Josh caught her by the arm and brought her in for a kiss. It was weird kissing another guy-the last guy she had kissed was Ryan and that was like 3 months ago. However, despite all the memories of her and Ryan together, she managed to go along with the kiss. When she pulled back, she flashed him a grin.
"I had fun," Marissa said. "See ya."
"See ya…Rissa," Josh replied. Marissa froze. Nobody called her that name except for Ryan. She couldn't help but feel a little guilty feeling creeping up on her. Hopefully Ryan wouldn't find out just yet about her and Josh.
