Thanks everyone for the reviews. You don't know how much they help me keep writing :) A special thanks to dodgeviper for calling me a genius.
DISCLAIMER: I don't own the OC, if I did, I'd probably be a happier person.
Seth looked in the mirror and smiled making a pose. Summer would be there any minute and he was really excited about it. He had cleaned up his room a bit and brought some refeshments and Fiji water for her to consume. He really had no idea how the night would go but couldn't wait. There was a knock on the door and he took a deep breathe before walking over to answer it.
"Hey." Ryan walked into Seth's room. "You cleaned." Ryan raised his eyebrows at Seth suspiciously. His friend was always coming up with freaky plans to get Summer back and they usually didn't work, they did make things worse though.
"Your not Summer!" Seth whispered sternly, shutting the door once again. "She'll be here any minute, aren't you supposed to be at Marissa's?" Seth inquired as he tried to push Ryan out of the room, it wasn't working to well though.
"I'm ganna be leaving soon. I just need some paper, I'm out." He stated matter of factly. Seth rushed to his desk grabbed a big pack of paper and threw it in Ryan's general direction.
"There, you happy? No go to Marissa's." He orded pointing him out the door. He was frusterated and wanted everything to be perfect when Summer got there. Ryan's presence was not at all helping his state of mind or room.
"I'm going." Ryan finally left. Seth relaxed a little and walked up to the mirror checking his hair, making sure it wasn't too out of control.
Meanwhile, outside the Cohen residence, Summer closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She knocked three times and ran her fingers threw her hair. She was just about as nervous as Seth was, but was so much better at hiding it. She didn't want him to think she was stupid or anything, but she wasn't scared to be herself around him. That made no sense to her, but she just accepted her thoughs. The door opened and she saw Ryan standing there. "Hi" She grinned.
"Hey" He looked at her then continued, "Seth's in his room, just go up and open the door, Seth never knocks, you shouldn't have to." Summer walked in a Ryan shut the door. Behind her.
"Thanks." Summer heading up the stairs and Ryan nodded his head grinning, that was a very interesting pair. He didn't want to know how the conversation would go. Although, it was quite easy to picture, lots of mumbling. He walked out the back door and headed over to Marissa's.
"Hey Cohen." Summer walked into Seth's room without knocking, she never did anyway. Even though Seth always knocked for her, she thought that was sweet. It was just the way Cohen was, always sweet to her and caring.
"Oh, hey Sum." Seth turned around quickly. He sat on the bed and patted the spot next to him. Summer rolled her eyes before sitting down.
"So, what are we going to do….uh for our project." She looked at Seth quickly before looking away. She hated how she could be so comfortable with him when they were with Ryan and Marissa. Alone was a different story. She felt uncomfortable now and confused. She looked back as Seth got up and grabbed some stuff from his desk.
"Well we should do the whole poster thing, pictures and some text, SOME text, you don't get a script I'm sorry, this is more of the real valley." Seth stressed, looking at her intently before sitting down and breaking the gaze.
"Fine." she moaned and looked at him. "If we get an A and my grade is currently like a C, would this bring it up?" She looked at him pleadingly hoping for a yes.
"Probably not" Seth looked away. He hated the dissappointment on Summer's face. It could break his heart. If felt like he had let her down. It was a sick feeling in the pit of his stomache. Seth would give anything just to make it go away. Thought's raced through his mind. "Ah, lightbulb." He grinned widely at his ex.
"Huh?" Summer scrunched up her face and looked at him. She was confused, if this didn't help, it was no big deal anyway. She would just tell her step-monster when she was on a happy pill. She'd tell her father later.
"Extra credit, Summer. We could each recite the Gettysburg address, individually or course. IF we do this before out presentaion and then split it during the presntation in class, we should get some extra credit. Is a B okay?" He looked into her eyes and knew she was happy, they seemed to light up and her face glowed.
"Perfect!" She moved towards Seth and hugged him lightly. Her dad would love that she was getting a B in history. When she broke the hug, Summer immediately regretted it. Knowing Seth, he would read way to much into the friendly greeting. There was nothing she could do about it now. "Let's get to work Cohen."
Seth stared at her intently for a few moments then closed his eyes. "y-yeah." He shook. The hug had felt great. It was so much better then he could have ever expecting. He had felt a rush run though his body and was pretty sure Summer had felt it too. He grabbed some notes and handed others to Summer. Then they began to work on their project.
