"What were you guys doing?" Dan questioned the two girls who walked beside him.

"Uh, just talking to Ryan" Summer frowned. Why do they need to know so much about what Marissa and I do? The thoughts taking over her brain. They aren't are parents, she was very annoyed.

"And Seth!" Marissa quickly exclaimed off of Tommy's look. He seemed almost angry that she was was eating lunch with him. Marissa had added the Seth part so Summer would also get in a little bit of trouble, or at least as much as she was in. Then they could argue together.

"Coop!" Screamed Summer into her best friends ear, she was now glaring. Marissa's reply was a sorry look in her eyes.

"Why were you with them and not us?" Tommy was quite jealous of Ryan and wasn't sure his intentions with Marissa were plausible.

"Uh, they are are friends!" Summer tried her best to inform them that nothing was going on.

"Marissa, can we, uh talk, uh, alone." He asked his girlfriend, very unsure of himself.

"Yeah, I guess." She mumbled back at him as they walked to a bench together and sat down.

"Um, what's up" Tommy wasn't sure if Marissa would get angry that he was jealous about this. Probably, but he was her ex, not just some guy that had always been Marissa's friend, like Seth. This was different, he was Ryan. He wanted to know Marissa's feelings about him.

"Why are we talking?" She really wanted to cut to the chase, so she could rejoin Summer and Dan. She looked to where they talking. Summer's arms were flailing and it was obvious that she was having one of her trade mark rage black-outs.

"There is nothing going on!" Summer shouted at him. She then threw her arms in the air and let out a big groan. "Seth is just a fucking friend!" She continued on, the rage built up inside her coming out full force. Francally, it was scaring Dan, but he thought that all the emotion on the subject meant Seth and Summer weren't just friends, as his girlfriend painfully screamed at him.

"So you do have sex with him?" Dan raised his eyebrows, immediately he knew it was the wrong reply.

"Oh my god!" Summer's eyes got huge and she slapped him. "I don't like him like that, can't you just except that?" She honked at her boyfriend. Dan closed his eyes and when he heard Summer breathing heavily and was certain the yelling had sub-sided for a moment, he opened them. He saw Marissa and Tommy having an actual discussion, no shouting involved so far.

"I just think that there may be something more than friendship there okay, don't get angry. I mean, you hang out, uh, uh, a lot." Tommy tried to explain calmly.

Marissa took a deep breath before responding to the question that had clearly been directed twards her and one of her closet friends. "I don't like him like that…anymore." She added the last part quickly and regreted it the minute it left her mouth. She saw Tommy'a face, a questioning expression was the one he had put on.

"So, you did like him." Tommy implied. He did not like how this conversation was going. All the answers Marissa gave seemed to all point in the same direction.

"Well, we did date for a while." Marissa looked at him, hoping Tommy wasn't reading too much into all of this.

"Fine, just don't…get too um" He was searching his mind for a way to express his emtions without angering his girlfriend. He glanced at Dan and saw Summer, he was just glad she wasn't his girlfriend. He felt so sorry for his friend.

"You are so unbearable sometimes!" Summer yelled heatidly at Dan. She was more angry then she could ever recall at that moment. Cohen was just a friend, she didn't have those feelings for him anymore, they had broken up and it was over.

"I'm sorry!" Dan countered the only way he could. The screams were defenaing and he really wanted them to stop, soon.

"Fine!" Summer exclaimed, getting a little softer. She looked at him, he had tears briming in his eyes. She realized for the first time, that this whole thing with Seth had truly made him insecure and sad. It wasn't just about stupid feelings of anger or jealousy. Summer still wasn't sure. But she stopped yelling completely and whispered "Okay". The she reached out and hugged Dan. While leaning her head over his shoulder, she caught a glimpse of Seth speaking to Ryan, they were both smiling, and soon enough, she was grinning too.

"Just uh, don't uh" Tommy was still having trouble thinking of words to explain the things going on in his mind.

"Don't fall in love with him or let him kiss me?" Marissa raised her eyebrows, knowing she had hit the nail on the head

Yup" He hung his head down and looked at his shoes, quite embarrassed that it had come out.

"Yeah, I know" Marissa whispered back at him. She gave him a quick kiss on the cheek and saw Ryan with Seth. They were both smiling, probably at Seth's sarcasim. Slowly, a smirk crept up her face too.

"There ya go!" Tommy smiled, he had assumed she was grinning at him and how well this enevitale conversation had gone.

"Yeah, um I should go to class" She told him and left. Marissa marched up to Summer and lightly tapped her on the shoulder, breaking the embrace between her and Dan.

"I should go" Summer remarked and linked arms with Marissa. The two best friends began to walk in Seth and Ryan's direction.

"Seth?" Marissa asked, knowing he was the only one who could bring that particular smile to Summer's face.

"Hmm" Summer nodded "Ryan?" Summer asked her friend the same question.

"Uh-huh" Marissa softly spoke back. Neither of them was sure what all this meant, but they didn't have time to think about it. Now, they had history.
