Thanks so much for the reviews! I really appreciate them and they help keep me going. I didn't hold back on you this this time. I've been busy. I had to go to a family friends house yesterday and we have people coming over in about an hour. Anway, please read and review and enjoy!

DISCLAIMER: Does anybody really believe I own the OC? Didn't think so.

"You can do it, just remember what we practiced. I'm going to go first and then it's your turn. Take deep breathe, how do you feel?" Seth spoke quickly, yet distinctly as he coached Summer. It was there free period, but they wanted extra credit. Indivually they would go in a recite the Gettysburg Address from memory.

"I feel awesome…-ly nervous" She gave him a shy smile and took a deep breath. Seth had tried to prepare her for this moment over the past week, but she wasn't sure how it would turn out. Mrs. Burnbomb hated her. Summer knew that better then anyone. She just hoped she would do well.

"You'll be amazing Sum. Come one, you've recited it perfectly like 10 times in the past 2 days. You'll get the extra credit and you'll get a B and you'll be happy and go tell your boyfriend…" Seth's voice trailed off as he looked into her eyes. They were sparkling again, it always made him melt. He found it difficult to be witty and smart at times like these. He was captivated and tried to break the gaze, but couldn't.

"Yeah." Summer looked away after a minute and twiddled her thumbs in anticipation. Nobody knew it, but she had wanted to kiss Seth at that moment. She had no idea why, the urge had just rushed through her body. She could tell that he cared deeply for her and wanted her to do her best and just be happy. Seth always made her feel special, something people rarely could do. He did it all the time. Summer wanted their relationship to be less complicated, but that didn't seem to be possible.

"Okay, um." Seth turned his head away from the brilliant brunette that was standing in front of him. He sat on a dark wooden bench and looked straight ahead.

"Cohen." She turned her attention back to him, "Do you really think I can do a good job?" She inquired honestly. Summer wanted a real answer, not one he gave her to simply please her and make her happy. It made her nervous to hear his thoughts. Summer cared for his opinion and she didn't know what she would do if he didn't believe in her.

"Duh!" He replyed like a 3rd grader. Summer sat down, a happy smile forming on her lips. "You've worked really hard trying to memorize this speech and deliver it with compassion. The way you put your heart and soul into, this comes through with every word, every letter." He looked at her intently. "You will be do great…" He looked at her and she looked at him. They both leaned in close. Seth could fell Summer's breathe on his face. It was warm and comforting. He could sit like that all day long.

Summer looked at Seth, his eyes enchanted her. She was drawen to them, to him. His warm body was leaning in, close to her's and she couldn't move. She could almost feel his sent as she became wrapped up in it. The smile left her face as she looked into his eyes and he looked into hers.

"Whose first." Mrs. Burnbomb opened the door to the classroom, causing Seth and Summer to jump up and apart. She looked surprised and almost amused.

"Me!" Seth raised his hand and made a cutesy face as he followed the teacher inside the classroom. Summer gave him a quick thumbs up as he closed the door behind himself.

Summer sat backdown on the bench, she desperatly tired to remember the speech that she had memorized. The Gettysburg address. She was finding it hard to conentrate. Working so closely with Cohen for a week had stirred up feelings in her. She kept pushing them away as much as she could. She forced them behind her head, trying to convince the thouhgts to never return. Summer crossed her legs and closed her eyes tightly. She refused to think about Seth as the speech clouded her mind once again.

Dan, worked his way through the hall. Slowly, but surely, he was getting over the jealousy that he felt while thinking about Seth Cohen. Tommy had broken up with Marissa because of her relationship with Ryan after there first study session. Seth and Summer had been working about a week and nothing had happened. He almost felt relieve. Dan knew her reciting of the Gettysburg address was due today. She need the extra credit and had been working very hard. He wanted to be there for her when she was done. He wanted to be able to comfort and congraduate his girlfriend on a job well done.

"Your turn" Seth walked out of the classroom, half grinning. He had obviously done well. Summer got up from where she was sitting and walked into the room. She looked at her teacher and began to speak at a steady and strong speed and volume.

Seth stood outside the door. He wanted Summer to do a great job. He knew how hard she had worked and how much this meant to her. Summer needed this to help her grade and Seth would do anything to help her. His palms were sweaty and butterlies fluttered in his stomache. He heard a creak and looked up.

Summer ran outside the door smiling brightly. She hugged Seth tight and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek. Her arms stayed wrapped around his neck as she stood on tip-toes. Seth wrapped his arms around her as well and grinned. "Thank you." She whispered into his ear. They stood there, hugging, neither wanting to break the embrace.

Dan stood in shock at the end of the hallway. He had seen his girlfriend run out of a classroom, kiss her ex on the cheek and hug him tightly. Now they were both smiling widely, content being in each others embrace. He turned, upset, and walked the other way.
