You guys make me so happy!

Chapter 5

"Are you mad at me or something?" Zach asked.

"What?" Summer looked up at him, "Why would I be mad at you?"

Zach shrugged his shoulders, "I don't know, but you've been mad before, and this is how you've acted."

Summer walked towards him, she put hand on the back of his neck, "No, I'm not mad at you, I'm just tired. I'm sorry."

Zach smiled. "So, what do you want to do?"

"Well, I mean, since were both ready, we mine as well go to Cohen's."

The smile faded from Zach's face, and he nodded, "Right. Cohen's."

The doorbell rang at the Cohen's house and Ryan opened the door.

"Hey guys," he said. "Weren't you suppose to come in like an hour?"

Zach nodded, "Somebody wanted to get here early." Zach said looking at Summer.

"Hey, I just didn't think it was necessary to be sitting around for another hour when we could be shopping in L.A!"

"Summer, I told you, there is not going to be time to shop!"

"We'll see." Summer left Ryan and Zach at the front door as she proceeded past them to find Seth. Summer knocked on Seth's door, "Room Service!" she called.

Seth opened the door, "Summer? Aren't you a little early?"

"You're astute today Cohen! We were ready early so here we are!" Summer pointed to a folded paper in Seth's hand. "What's that?"

"This is my idea so far." Seth held up his copy triumphantly.

"Sweet, let me see!" Summer tried to grab it but Seth pulled it away.

"Summer, you have to wait to see! Zach's uncle said that he wanted to see an idea from each of us that had not been shown to each other."

"Cohen, you're such a dandy! Let me see it!" Summer reached again, jumping to reach the comic book in Seth's extended arm.

"Zach! Hey buddy how's it going?" Seth motioned for Zach to come in.

Zach came into Seth's room awkwardly. Summer immediately stopped jumping for Seth's comic book. "Ok, so should we go?"

Zach nodded, "I guess so. Hey Seth is your idea any good?"

Seth shrugged, "I guess your uncle will have to decide that."

The three waved goodbye to Mr. Cohen as they were walking out of the door.

"You kids be safe ok?" Sandy put his hand on Seth's shoulder. "I mean it. Seatbelts, no speeding, and call if you need anything."

Seth rolled his eyes, "Original material Dad."

They closed the door behind them, "So," Seth said reaching for the keys in his pocket, "Who wants shotty?"

Zach put his arm around Summer's shoulders, "Actually Cohen, I think were ok in the back."

Summer looked up at Zach, "Hun, I get car sick."

"That's true," Seth chimed in, "Puke everywhere, it's really disgusting."

Zach sighed, "Ok then, hop in the front."

Summer smiled, "You sure you don't mind?"

Zach nodded and Summer got in the front seat.

They pulled out of the driveway, "So Cohen, what kind of tunes do you have in here?" Summer asked while fumbling through the car looking for CDs, "Ah, Jackpot!" She exclaimed holding up a pile of discs. "Death Cab, The Shins, Teitur, Further Seems Forever," she put the CDs down on the floor, "Cohen, this sucks! How can you stay awake anywhere you go?!"

"Hey!" Seth said to Summer loudly, "do you remember what happened last time you insulted my music when we were driving?! We ended up hitch hiking with a hundred chickens and staying in a motel cheaper than the dollar menu!"

Summer spoke back equally as loudly, "Cohen, don't even try to blame the whole TJ debacle on me, you're the one who was driving!"

"You're the one who grabbed the wheel!"

Summer slumped down in her seat, "only because somebody drives like an eighty year old yenta." She muttered just loud enough for Seth to hear.

Seth tried to think of something to say, but was lost for words. Summer smiled. She looked back at Zach, "You see what happened was that-"

"I don't really want to know." Zach replied cutting her off.

"Oh." Summer answered wounded.

Zach sighed, "Look I'm sorry, I just get frustrated not knowing what you guys are talking about!"

"But I was just trying to tell you!"

Zach shook his head, "Ok. Let's just drive now."

"Fine." Summer answered coldly as she turned around and crossed her arms.

"So…" Seth started, "L.A, this is awesome."

Zach nodded and Summer turned to look out the window.
