Chapter 8 - Maybe, Not.
Seth went home the next morning while Summer was still asleep. He was really excited that he finally knew she liked him too, now maybe after a little while they could be a couple. She hadn't gotten that much sleep, because him and Summer stayed up watching movies the rest of the night, and it felt good holding her, but being awake to feel what it felt like. Summer woke up to see Seth gone. She knew that it was almost noon, and that he probably left a little while ago because he didn't know when her parents were getting home. She got out of bed, smelling her favorite pillow, and its scent of Seth's BKE for men cologne. She almost huffed it, before realizing what she was doing, and got up to go take a shower.
Monday Morning.
"Hey Summ." Coop yelled from a distance.
"Oh, hey Coop, what's up girl?" Summer just acted normal.
"Oh, heard about your double spend the night with Seth!" Coop seemed excited for Summer.
"Yeah, well.." Summer wasn't too sure what to say.
"And how you guys kissed!" Coop was more excited on the outside then Summer was.
"Yeah, that too." Summer smiled, remembering it.
"So, are you guys like a couple now?" Marissa was just chomping at the bit.
"Uh, no way Coop. He hasn't asked me to be his girlfriend, and I'm so not asking him. We'll take steps, or like, whatever." Summer didn't know what she was saying.
Next thing she knew, before her and Marissa was some chick that was taller then her, with longer blonde hair, piercing green eyes, and a perfect body. She held onto Seth's arm like they were a couple, and laughed at his jokes with her gorgeous smile. Summer looked her up and down, and had the dirtiest look on her face towards this, what would she call it? SKANK.
"Oh, Summ. That's, uh, well, Seth's on again, off again girl who hooks-up with him." Marissa finally spat out, knowing Summer should know.
"Haha, you think I care Coop? It was just a kiss anyways. Its not like we were ever into each other or anything." Summer walked off.
She was really pissed. She hated seeing that gorgeous 5'8 tall girl that looked perfect with Cohen walking down the halls with their hook-up history. She hated that she kissed Seth, and that she actually felt feelings for him, that she was now going to deny. She was going to force herself to not like Cohen, and she'd just have to get over it, she thought to herself.
Chemistry.
"Hey Summer." Seth said with a big smile.
Summer didn't say anything back, didn't even give him a look.
"Summer, what's up?" Seth was kind of wondering why this girl who had kissed him didn't acknowledge him.
"Seth? Can't you see that I'm freaking working? Okay? Gheez, just talk to someone else for a second." Summer was so pissed off at him.
"Oh, o-k-a-y, sure." Seth was pretty curious what had come over Summer. He really liked her.
Seth went to Marissa about it.
"Seth, you can't just make out with Summer, who really liked you, and then turn around and have Meg all over you the Monday after. That's not right Seth, and you really hurt her feelings." Marissa was straight forward.
"Liked? As in past tense? What do you mean Marissa? Meg wasn't ALL over me." Seth thought.
"Yeah, as in the past tense. I think, that's how it sounded to me when she told me that she wasn't into you anymore, anyways." Marissa could tell Seth was upset.
"She told you that she wasn't into me anymore?" Seth was sort of worried, Summer was the first girl he really liked.
"Uh huh, but I've got to go. Bye Seth." Marissa said kissing his cheek, feeling bad for him.
Summer was at home, sitting on her bed, watching T.V., or trying too. She even tried to occupy herself with the television and the new Teen Vogue, it had Brittany Murphy on the cover. All she could think about was how Seth tried to talk to her like there wasn't any Megan girl, and it just pissed her off some more. Seth had called her cell phone a total of 4 times since school let out, and she kept screening. She wasn't into his bullshit anymore. She could care less about him, she forced herself to think.
Thursday Afternoon – Chemistry.
"Summer, can we talk?" Seth asked.
"Okay, what would you like to talk about, other then your girlfriend?" Summer gave him a look.
"I don't have a girl.."
Summer cut him off. "What do you want to talk about Seth."
"Why are you calling me Seth now? Just out of the blue? What's the matter with you?"
"Uh, your name is Seth isn't it? And nothing's the matter. How about next time you talk to me, actually just don't talk to me. K? I need to get back to work." With that, Summer got up.
"Summer, what about Saturday nigh.." He was trailing for a lost cause. He was upset.
Friday Night – Summer's bedroom.
There was a loud knock at the door, Summer thought it might be Marissa or maybe Kayleigh, since Kayleigh and Ryan broke up, Kayleigh had been forcing a friendship with Summer as well. Summer walked slowly to the door, knowing who she deep down wanted it to be, and of course. It was him.
"Summer, I really need to talk to you." Seth said fast.
"Okay, about what Seth?"
"How come you had me spend the night, and kissed me on Saturday, and then on Monday you were a total bitch to me again, and told Marissa you weren't into me?" All in one breath.
Summer thought for a second. "Seth, I lose interest in someone, when they have someone that I didn't know about. If I was such a bitch like you said, then I would have told your pretty little princess that we made out while you were dating her, but I didn't, so you can leave now, and go screw her or something, my show is on. Goodbye Seth."
"Wait, I don't even have a girlfriend Summer."
"COHEN, who the HELL is Meg then? You know what, I don't care, she's your on/off little hook-up girl who just came back from where ever she was, and now she's back to your hook-up girl."
"Who told you about Meg?" Seth wondered.
"Coop told me, okay Seth? And I'm sick of standing here talking to you, bottom line, this is probably not going to work out. Now, my show is really on, bye."
Summer pushed him out the door, and jumped onto her bed. She threw her face into her pillow and screamed louder then ever.
