Ok. I'm soooo sorry about the wait for a new chapter! I am an extreme procrastinator, and I've been so preoccupied with starting at a new school, and you all know how hectic that can be! So, anyways, I'm very sorry!

I'm Gonna Miss This

"Yo…anyone home?" Seth yelled as he jogged up the steps toward the poolhouse.

"Don't say 'yo' Seth." Ryan replied as he walked out the door, putting books into a bag.

"Well, you see Ryan, you are talking to a man who has no idea what is going on in his life right now, so really it's okay that I'm saying yo. Because, how can you expect a man of my caliber to use correct grammar, when he is in a crisis as big as I am in?" Seth rambled as he followed Ryan into the house.

Ryan glanced back smirking, "What crisis are you in? And stop rambling."

Seth frowned at the last comment, "I'll just ignore what you just said, because I do not ramble. I speak excessively. And the crisis I am in, is about my one and only."

"Captain Oats has a crisis? I didn't think he could talk." Ryan laughed.

"Do not laugh at my situation Ryan," Seth hissed, "I am talking about SUMMER."

"What are you two fighting about now?"

"It's not that we're fighting. We're actually being civil. It's that she has SECRETS. Secrets Ryan. Secrets."

"Secrets. I get it man." Ryan said dryly.

"Yeah. And these SECRETS are making me nervous." Seth said as he and Ryan walked into the kitchen. "I mean…couples aren't supposed to have secrets. Especially ones involving a college acceptance letter, from a certain little college named…USC. And that letter getting delivered to a Miss Summer Roberts."

Ryan whirled around. "WHAT? Summer got accepted to USC? Why didn't she tell us?"

"Exactly. Which is why I am nervous. Especially because she doesn't know I saw it."

"Why are you nervous? You should be happy!" Ryan told Seth.

"I am nervous, because what excuse does she have to not tell me? Oh my gosh…what if she didn't know if would get in? What if that was a rejection letter?" Seth started to ramble again.

"Chill out. I'm sure if she was accepted she will tell you. And if it's not, then nothing will have changed right?" Ryan asked.

"Right. But I'm positive it's a rejection letter. I mean what else could it have been? She probably just applied to be with me! And her grades just weren't good enough. Oh my god. I just won't bring up college. Right? I mean, it will just make her depressed. And we still have two months left. Right. I'll just ignore the whole college issue." Seth muttered.

"Dude. Calm down." Ryan snorted.

Seth looked at Ryan with a snide look, "Don't say dude Ryan."

A few hours later, Seth was standing with Ryan at their old high school, handing in their old books they had found in their closet from the year before.

"Hello Seth…Ryan. What are you doing here?" the principal asked them as they walked into the office.

"We forgot to turn in these books last year." Ryan explained gesturing toward the bag of books they both had.

She rifled through the bags before turning to them, "Well, Ryan, this was every book this year…and Seth. This is every book you have had since freshman year." She told them dryly.

Seth looked down at the ground a smile playing on his lips. "I just wanted to read them over and over again I guess."

The principal gave a sigh, and turned and walked down the hall.

"Wow. This school has held so many memories since freshman year." Seth murmured turning to Ryan, "Well, actually since you showed up. Nothing really happened before that."

"Like you running away on the boat?"

"Like you hooking up with Theresa?"

Ryan shot him a look. "Like you stalking Summer?"

Seth laughed, "Like you getting your ass kicked on the beach?"

"Hey now. I was saving YOUR ass." Ryan replied, laughing.

"Welcome to the OC bitch!" They both said at the same time, afterward, dissolving into laughter.

"Cohen?"

"Sum?" Seth asked, suddenly not laughing, and looking down the hall.

Summer walked out of a classroom, Marissa not far behind her. She smiled at him, encircling her arms around his waist. "What are you doing here?"

"Returning some books. And thinking back on the past few years."

"So were we." Marissa chimed in. "God, it seemed like such a long time ago that we actually were starting here, not knowing Ryan, or Seth."

"Um excuse me. You COULD have known me. I went to this school all four years too. You just CHOSE not too." Seth exclaimed.

"That was because you were a socially challenged geek as a freshman. Actually…come to think of it…you still are!" Summer laughed.

Seth gave her a look, but pulled her to him. "And look who's with the socially challenged geek now!" he laughed as he planted a big kiss on her lips.

"God Cohen…like-" summer started, but couldn't help but smile, as she leaned into him.

"EW?" the other three supplied.

Summer scoffed, and stomped her feet. "You guys make it seem like I say that a lot!"

"Um…because you do?" Seth told her.

Summer smirked at him. "So do you remember all this? Like look at where we used to hang out!"

They had entered through another doorway, seeing the couches, coffee machine and tables that all seemed so familiar.

Seth motioned to a table on the side. "That was where I proclaimed my love for you!" he said proudly.

"Yeah. In front of EVERYONE." Summer laughed.

"That was where we got coffee every day…that was where we would always sit…that was where we always played PacMan…" Seth said, as the other three nodded in recognition, smiling.

"Hey, and that was where we met Zach…and Ryan got punched by Eddie…and where we confronted Luke about his little affair with Mrs. Cooper…" Seth continued.

The other three suddenly got pained expressions. "Alright..that's enough memories Seth!" Ryan exclaimed.

"I guess not all of high school was a cake walk." Marissa laughed sheepishly.

"But it sure as hell was fun." Summer said softly.

They stood looking around slowly, thinking back to all the things they had endured, all the romance, all the drama.

"I'm gonna miss this…" Summer whispered in Seth's ear. "College will be completely different."

She thought she felt him stiffen up, but then he was whispering back. "I know. I'm gonna miss it too."

She didn't know just how much

………………………………………………………………………………………………

The four walked back down the hall, toward the door.

"Hey this was where we found out Oliver was going to our school…and this is where-" Seth started but got cut off.

"COHEN! Those are BAD memories…do you get the meaning of subtlety? God!" Summer exclaimed, shoving him.

He caught her arm just in time, pulling her into a hug, as all four of them walked outside giggling, into the bright morning sun.
