Chapter 9 - Not So Easy.

Seth couldn't understand why Summer was so upset. She couldn't have been into him so much, that it hurt her to just see him talk to another girl. He liked her a lot, and he really wanted to be together with her, but she wouldn't even acknowledge him. In Chem., she did of her part of the work during class, so that she wouldn't talk to him. They did the experiments without talking, by Summer's choice. She hated to have to see him every day, because no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't stop feeling things for him. So, she had to take action.

"Having Chemistry in the afternoon doesn't really work for me, I'm more of a science person right before lunch." Summer explained to her counselor.

"Well, that's understandable, we'll keep you with the same teacher, but switch your period." Mrs. Hawthorne smiled up at Summer.

Summer felt like all her problems were solved. She didn't even have to see Seth at the lunch table with the new seat she forced her and Coop to sit in by Kayleigh. And the only class she had with Seth she had just altered. She was happy with herself. She had done something good. In the meantime, she hadn't thought of how their lockers were in the same hallway, and how their group of friends were the same. And how they went to the same school, and were in the same grade.

"Omgosh, Seth! You crack me up cutie!" Summer heard Meg yell.

Rolling her eyes, she walked off before Seth could see her upset. Summer knew how bad she still wanted Seth on the inside, and how much she liked him, deep down there. She knew how jealous of Meg she was, and how she hoped that Meg got transferred, only to leave Cohen to apologize. For what though? What did he even do? Tell Summer multiple times that Meg wasn't his girlfriend, and just accepted Summer's wishes not to talk to him like a gentlemen?

"Yeah, let's totally go there tonight, it will be so awesome." Summer yipped.

"Defiantly, I'm come get you now." Marissa said.

There was this big party that some girl named Lynn was throwing, and it was suppose to be big and fun and eventful. Summer couldn't dare pass it up to see Meg all wrapped up with Cohen, she was teaching herself not to care anymore. Marissa pulled into Summer's drive way and honked a couple times. Summer was dressed up really hott, and her make-up was done perfectly. Her hair couldn't have looked any better, and she knew Cohen would look at her, and make Meg mad. That satisfied Summer, which made her feel low, but so did Cohen, so at this point, she didn't care.

"Ew! They're like totally injecting drugs. Sick." Summer observed some sell-outs injecting.

"Haha, that's what you get at a rager, I suppose." Marissa trailed off looking for the broken up Ryan.

Summer was sort of left stranded, not even being able to find Kayleigh to have someone to at least stand with or talk too.

"Humph."
Summer went to the bar to get a drink, and saw Cohen standing with Meg. Their fingers were entwined, and she was unaware that she was staring with a devil look upon her face.

"Hahaha, do you like, have a problem?" She heard an unfamiliar voice say. It was Meg.

"Huh?" Summer didn't even phase the rude tone of the comment.

"Seth, lets just go." Meg said noticing how Seth looked at Summer.

"No, it's okay, I can go hun. Bye." Summer sped off.

Later that Night – Summer's room.

Summer had curled up on her bed and put in Tommy Boy, remembering that it was the first movie that she watched with Seth, or started to watch. She laughed thru her pain at all the funny parts, and felt the anguish for blowing Cohen off, when he kept telling her he didn't have a girlfriend.

Ring. Ring. Ring. Summer started to hear the echo of her ring tone "She Will Be Loved," by Maroon 5 and grabbed her cell. It was Cohen.

"Hello?" Summer said.

"Hey this is Meg."

"Uh, Hi?" Summer wanted to hang up.

"Listen to me bitch. Seth was mine way back in the 8th grade, and he's still mine now. I don't care if you two formed little crushes on each other while i was away at my GRANDMOTHER'S FUNERAL, but I'm back now. So deal with it." She hung up the phone.

"What the hell?" Summer thought to herself, she didn't know what Meg's issue was.

Monday Morning.

"Where's Summer?" Seth asked his teacher.

"Summer isn't in the class anymore, Mr. Cohen. They transferred her out of this period." Mr. Savage said.

"What, I mean, why?" Seth was dependent on at least seeing Summer everyday, if he couldn't talk to her.

"I wasn't told why, but she is no longer in this period, you'll be finishing the semester by yourself."

Mr. Savage's words hit Seth like a knife in the stomach. It was then after the 3 months that Summer hadn't talked to him that he realized how much he really liked her.

"Hey girl." Kayleigh said.

"Hey Kay!" Summer said kissing Kayleigh's cheek.
"So ready for lunch? I'm so starved for chili fries!" Kayleigh said.

"Mmhmm, definatly, that sounds too good!" Summer said turning around.

She bumped straight into Cohen, and fell down. She felt like she might have twisted her wrist, but she didn't say anything, she looked up and saw Cohen's hand.

"I can get up by myself, Seth." She said coldly.

Seth just walked off, those were the first words Summer had directed towards him in a while, and they were mean. He was sick of her being so mean to him, but he figured getting talked to by this girl was better then being ignored. Summer couldn't help but feel this pain when he walked off. She wanted to grab his hand, but she couldn't give in. This wasn't easy. She couldn't just deny her feelings, but she was anyways.
