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: Okay, we're gonna play a little game. Whoever can tell me all the Lost innuendos in this gets a cookie! So I gave one away, the game 'I Never'. Sorry it took so long… finals… Star Wars… Star Wars…
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.
---------------------------------
"Dr. Kim?"
---------------------------------
The next thing Seth Cohen knew, Summer was in a frenzy and the remaining members of the Fantastic Four were trying to calm her down.
So the lights went off. Big whoop! The back-up generators were bound to come back on sooner or later. Right?
Much to Seth's dislike long minutes passed with no lights coming back on and no Dr. Kim either. Summer was slowly starting to calm down. The library got pretty dark except for the few bursts of lightning that would illuminate the entire room.
Slowly, Seth got up out of his chair and walked past the Fantastic Four heading out the door.
"Where the hell are you going?" Zack snapped at him.
Seth turned to look at him. "Going to find out what the hell is going on."
All four of them just stared at Seth. Seth just looked at them in return for a few long moments.
"Whatever," he said as he walked out of the library, trying to find some sort of hint as to what was going on.
The more and more he walked down the darkened hallways, the more and more he wished someone would have come along, or someone would have stopped him, or he would have stayed there instead of going off to try to figure out what was going on.
He dragged his fingers along the lockers. He always wanted to do that and never really got the chance to. He had been slammed into lockers quite a few times, but he never got to experience the real joy of them.
He looked into the door of Dr. Kim's office. She was no where in sight. No where at all. That was kinda creepy. She said that she'd be watching all of them, and she wasn't there.
Maybe she went back to the library. Maybe he was going to get in serious shit for leaving. Oh God, maybe he should turn back.
A sudden dizzy sensation came over him in an instant as he grabbed onto one of the locker handles in an attempt to keep himself from falling to the floor. It only got more and more intense as the walls, ceiling, floor and everything else just seemed to be closing in on him.
He had no idea what was going on. He just wanted it to stop. Slowly, he felt his balance fail him all together and a floating feeling in the back of his head as everything faded into blackness.
At least the dizziness stopped.
---------------------------------
The next thing Seth knew, he was being hit across the face.
"Get up Cohen!" It was Summer. Seth didn't know he had such a goofy smile plastered across his face, but he did.
"Thank God!" Summer said. Slowly, Seth's vision became unblurry and he focused on Summer's face.
"What the hell happened Seth?" Oliver asked. Slowly, Seth sat up leaning against the lockers and trying to focus on everyone else around him. Then he remembered. School, detention… shit…
"What the fuck happened Death Breath," Zack cursed angrily at him.
Seth simply glared at him. "I don't know what happened. I was trying to figure out what was going on, and I got dizzy and fell."
"Liar…" Zack said.
"What?" He asked angrily. "That is what happened, I swear!" Seth didn't understand why he was trying to prove himself to Zack, he just didn't like the idea of being put down in front of Summer, not like it made any difference anyways.
With that came silence as Seth felt four pairs of eyes on him. It was quite an uncomfortable silence. With that, he slammed his head back on the lockers making a dull thud that filled the empty hallway and temporarily blocked out the pounding of the rain.
Seth continued to feel the eight eyes on him. "What?" he asked.
"We don't believe you," Zack said.
"And since when do you speak for everyone?" Seth snapped.
Zack just laughed, a forced laugh.
Everyone else just had solemn looks on their faces. Marissa looked like she was about to cry.
"What is it?" Seth asked again.
"Dr. Kim," Oliver said, almost silently.
"Dr. Kim?" Seth asked, wanting to get to the bottom of it.
"Dr. Kim… she's… she's… she's…" Marissa stuttered.
"Dead." Zack finished.
Holy shit.
---------------------------------
"What?" Seth spit out.
"She's dead. We heard a scream. Zack thought… Zack thought it was you, so we came out," Summer said. To say Seth was shocked was an understatement. They had actually thought enough about him? "And she was dead, and you… you were no where in sight. Then we find you totally knocked out with a huge dent in the locker."
"It adds up Death Breath," Zack said, sounding as arrogant as ever.
"What adds up?" Seth asked. He was so confused? Were they trying to say that he killed Dr. Kim? That was a pile of shit.
"You killed her Seth… why?"
"I didn't kill her!" Seth shouted angrily, standing up. Everyone else stood up with him.
"It adds up," Zack repeated himself.
Seth said nothing, he just looked at Zack. This was so much to take in at one time. He couldn't believe that this was actually going on.
He couldn't believe that this was happening.
Out of instinct, he wanted to run. He wanted to run far, far away.
Quickly, his feet pulled him away, towards the door. This wasn't helping him any, but he was being accused of something he didn't do.
He slammed his whole body into the door and crumpled to the floor in pain. "Son of a bitch!" he cursed. The door. The door was locked. He couldn't get out.
Oliver and Marissa rushed over as Seth grabbed his arm in pain and he flinched. Summer and Zack just walked casually over.
"Are you okay?" Marissa asked.
"The door is locked…" Seth seethed through the pain.
"No, really?" Oliver asked sarcastically.
"Shut up," Seth said angrily.
Zack and Summer finally made their way over. Seth stood up once again, even though the pain in his arm was tremendous.
Oliver, Marissa and Seth just looked at Summer and Zack.
"You're siding with him?" Zack spat angrily.
Oliver and Marissa were silent.
"You don't believe that he killed Dr. Kim?" Zack asked.
"How could he?" Oliver said. "He was totally out of it when we found him. How do we know that whoever got Dr. Kim didn't go after him too?"
Oliver had a good point.
"I can't believe that you're siding with him," Summer squealed. "Cooooop!"
Seth looked over at Marissa, who was looking at the floor. Slowly, she walked over next to Summer.
"What the hell Coop?" Oliver asked. He looked at the three of them. Seth was glad that Oliver was finally taking his side on things for once. "Some seriously screwed up shit is going on here. The doors are locked, Dr. Kim is dead… Seth… I don't know what happened, but someone, or something it out to get us. We can't split up like this. We need to stay together. If we can't stay together, we're going to die alone."
Summer and Marissa just stared at Oliver. Even Seth was shocked. Something was coming out of the three of them that Seth never expected. Maybe a possible friendship.
"Ollie's right," Marissa said, almost silently. Summer nodded her head in agreement.
"You've got to be fucking kidding me," Zack said angrily.
"What is with you and your conspiracy theories Zack, you're chock full of them!" Summer snapped angrily. Seth was utterly shocked. Summer… Summer was seemingly abandoning Zack, and sticking up for Seth.
Shit like this didn't happen in the real world.
"Fine. Whatever," Zack said, angrily, giving up. "The question is, what are we going to do?"
