First and Last Chance
---------------------------------
Summary: Major AU. Saturday detention always sucks. But when weird stuff starts to happen, it is anything but boring. Seth/Summer, Marissa/Oliver, Zack.
A/n: Yeah, this is so AU, Ryan never stayed and Seth is still the biggest loser ever… and this is Seth, Zack, Summer, Oliver, Marissa with major Oliver/Marissa and Summereth… xD, and I haven't written in third person in forever, so please forgive me.
Disclaimer: The OC belongs to Fox… and this is written for pleasure only, no money is being made off of it. The plot belongs loosely to the Breakfast Club, but not really after the first chapter.

"Game Time"
---------------------------------
The 'fun' as Seth Cohen referred too it was also known as a 'berating hate-fest' most of it funneled at him and them him at least attempting to stick up for himself every now and then.
He was so used to it by now that he could care less. He even stopped fighting back. He was just so sick of it. He shouldn't be here. He shouldn't have to be putting up with this shit. Not one little bit. Not at all.
Yet here he was, getting bad mouthed to his face rather than behind his back. So he just decided to ignore it. Sooner or later Dr. Kim was going to hear the commotion and come in. His life had gone from sucky to suckiest in about… three seconds.
"So now you're not gonna answer. No wonder you don't have any friends," Zack said. It was mainly Zack that was doing the talking. Oliver was staring off into space, and Marissa was just watching silently. Sometimes Seth wished that someone would come help him, but he knew that that would never happen. Ever.
"Are you even gonna try?" he asked.
Once again, Seth ignored him, now staring off into space. This was so boring. Glancing at his watch, only fifteen minutes had passed.
Silence rang throughout the library. Well, silence as in no one spoke. The rain still pounded hard and there was the rumble of thunder every now and then.
It was Summer (oddly enough) who broke the awkward silence. "Let's play a game!" She said with a big beaming smile on her face.
"What kind of game?" Marissa finally spoke up.
"I don't know, just something, this is really really odd!" Summer said.
"How about 'I Spy'?" Oliver asked.
I-Spy, that was a stupid game.
"No, that's stupid," Zack said.
"Then what do you want to play Zack," Summer asked, clinging onto his arm, almost making Seth sick.
"How about 'I Never'," Seth said from the back of the library, doing the unthinkable and moving up towards the Fantastic Four.
"'I Never' Cohen?" Summer asked.
"Yeah, the non-alcoholic version."
Oliver smiled, so did Marissa. At least they knew what Seth was talking about.
"Teach me!" Summer said.
This had to be the oddest experience in the life of Seth Cohen.
---------------------------------
As soon as the game got into the swing of things, Seth actually found himself having a half-decent time, even though many of the statements were obviously made to make him feel like shit. To play the game non-alcoholically, one simply put all ten fingers out and whenever someone said "I Never…" and you did do that, you had to put one finger down.
Currently, Seth had eight fingers, Zack had five, Oliver had seven, Summer and Marissa were tied at six.
"I never… played pool naked," Summer said with a slight giggle. Not a single finger went down.
"I've never been to Chino," Marissa said. Seth put a finger down. He went with his dad just to make sure that that kid he had taken in for the weekend a long time ago was okay.
"I never… drank diet soda," Seth said with a smile. Everyone in the Fantastic Four put a finger down.
"I never… never had sex," Zack said with a sly grin. Seth was shocked when he wasn't the only person to put a finger down. Summer did too.
Gee, learn something every day.
"I never ate sushi," Oliver said. Zack, Summer and Marissa put fingers down.
"I never read a comic book," Summer said. Zack and Seth put fingers down. Seth was a bit shocked. Zack liked comic books? Holy shit. The funny thing was, Zack had a nearly identical look on his face.
"I never played video games all night long." Oliver, Seth and Zack all put fingers down, making the two girls burst into a fit of giggles.
"What?" Oliver asked.
"Boys," they said in unison, rolling their eyes.
By now the count was Zack had one finger left, Summer had three, Marissa, Oliver and Seth all had three.
"I never listened to country music," Marissa threw in when the silence was getting to be too much. Her head was facing Oliver when she said it. He put a finger down, in silence.
"I never had divorced parents," Seth said. Summer and Marissa put one finger down.
"I never hated water polo players." Seth put a finger down, almost proudly as soon as he heard the words 'hated' and 'water polo.'
"I never went to Italy!" Oliver said triumphantly as Zack was out and Summer went down to having only one finger left.
"I never tried to kill myself," Summer said, realizing what she said only after she said it. The tension was so thick someone could cut it with a knife.
Seth looked at the ground, so did Oliver. Stupid bitch. Everyone left in the game except for Summer put a finger down. Thunder rumbled off in the distance and lightning illuminated the windows.
That was when the game stopped.
---------------------------------
The next hour was spent in silence. Seth retreated to his little area in the back of the room and the Fantastic Four all just hung out with each other, throwing a glance back at Seth every now and then.
Seth didn't care. He shouldn't be here. He may have deserved to be here, but he shouldn't.
More thunder, getting (if possible) louder and longer. Summer jumped and Zack comforted her. It made Seth feel kind of sick. So he still did have feelings for Summer. He knew that those feeling wouldn't go away, but he just learned to live with them, just like everything else.
Then, just like that, everything went black and not a sound was heard except for the scream issuing from Summer's mouth the second that it happened.
The power had gone out.
