Chapter 3 - Maybe.

"Well maybe she'd be different if she thought people would accept her, or give her a chance, Seth." Marissa kind of felt like her and Summer could be cool friends, and wanted to see if she was actually cool.

"I dunno, but you're like the only girl here who isn't just like her and doesn't have Paris Hilton's nose." Seth was talking to Marissa.

Seth and Marissa were best friends. They were that pair of guy-girl best friends in every story or tv show. Ryan was their third best friend, but also Marissa's crush. It was a little, edgy because, Ryan was dating a girl named Kayleigh Jones, and she was perfect. She was also a girl who didn't have Paris's nose, but she still did the whole plastic surgery thing, and was quite a bit like Summer had come off to Seth. Ryan started dating Kayleigh about 3 months ago, before Marissa realized she liked him, and that's what made her realize. She's been jealous of Kayleigh's perfectly whitened, and aligned teeth that matched with her perfect face, and clothes, and boobs. She was the ideal girl, and she was way into Ryan's brooding bad boy edge. They spent most of their time together, and It was hard for Marissa to just pretend like she was cool with it, but somehow, Marissa Cooper was strong.

"Hey girl! Who are you talking about now?" Kayleigh thought her and Marissa was closer then sisters.

"Hey Leigh. Just this new girl, I didn't actually catch her name, but I invited her to have lunch with me, which means lunch with all of us."

Their group contained of about 12 people, but the main group was Marissa, Ryan, Seth, and Kayleigh.

"Marissa, I know you didn't just invite, like some random dyke spiked chick to like, eat lunch with us did you?" Kayleigh had this mortified look on her face.

"Well would you look at that? Me and Kayleigh are agreeing, Jesus, Marissa." Seth chimed in.

"Well, she isn't a dike spiked chick who is ugly and everything, she seems cool, so just wait til lunch. Marissa said fast, and hurried off to class before someone else could ask if she got her lips done.

Summer was kind of happy on the inside that someone just out of the blue asked her to have lunch. She wouldn't even care if this extremely popular looking girl, was actual some geek on the no-friends radar, because Summer was in that boat. It was almost lunch time, and she was kind of nervous.

"HEY!" Summer heard someone else from behind, it was the Cooper girl.

"Oh, hey Cooper. Ready to eat, or like, whatever?" Summer was being nice, to someone outside her family.

"Sure thing, here, I already told my friends that you were eating with me, which means you're eating with them too. And don't even worry, they'll totally love you, umm, what's your name?"

"Huh. Oh, Summer."

"Great." Marissa always seemed like she was in the perfect mood.

Summer couldn't believe that she was about to go sit at a table full of all the people this Cooper girl hung out with. But she was ready, this was the first time that she was even talked too really, and now she was being invited to eat lunch with people.

"Okay, hey everyone. This is Summer, and she's really cool, and she's going to eat lunch with us."

Seth looked up, and saw this girl who was mega-bitch to him a couple hours ago, biting her bottom lip and popping her fingers uncontrollably. He kind of felt like maybe he pre-judged, the reassured himself he tried to be nice, and she proved him wrong. Summer saw the table she was suppose to be sitting at, and realized that Cooper was the most popular girl at school, and Summer at down.

"So Summer, how often do you like, go tanning? And where? Cause your tan is totally kick ass." A girl named Lynn asked.

Most people were waiting for Summer to speak.

"Oh, I just go tanning at Copper-Tone Tan. Its totally the best place ever. It's so relaxing, i swear you could like, pass out in the 20 minutes you are laying in there. But that would be if the beepers that let you know how much time you have left weren't louder then a freakin' bazooka."

The table burst out cracking up, and even Seth Cohen formed a little smile. Maybe this girl was just putting up an attitude to cover herself.
