Chapter 2: The Fashion Show

"Okay don't look but he's right over there with Marissa. I mean look, just don't make it obvious that you're looking." Summer told Ryan as they were standing at the fashion show.

"So…that's Seth." Ryan said not sounding the least bit interested. "So him and Marissa are like? What?"

"They're really good friends. Like best friends, they have been for like…ever!" Summer stated matter-of-factly.

"Who's that?" Ryan said looking at the blonde guy that just joined Seth and Marissa, putting his arm around Marissa.

"Luke Ward. Captain of the water polo team, most popular guy in school, dating Marissa. Oh and he's also the resident asshole!" Summer said rolling her eyes.

"Oh, so then what's she doing with him then?" Ryan said now suddenly interested.

"I don't know, guess she doesn't see it. Luke's an ass, but they've been like together since like the fifth grade. Water polo guys are all jerks though."

"Does Seth play water polo?"

"Nope, he's not like those other guys he's just so…so…" Summer was telling Ryan when Kirsten came looking for them.

"Sweetie I've been looking for you everywhere you've got to go get ready you're on soon." Kirsten said grabbing her daughter's arm and pulling her towards the stage.

"Alright see you later Ryan, that is if I survive this." Summer said as she left with her mom.

BACK STAGE

"Hey Summer" Marissa greeted Summer with a smile.

"Oh, hey Marissa." Summer said as politely as she could. She knew Marissa was just trying to be nice. Marissa's parents and her parents had been friends a long time and they were always encouraging the girls to become friends but they really had nothing in common.

"So I met your cousin last night. Ryan was it?" Marissa said trying to make conversation.

"Cousin? Oh ya, cousin Ryan! Ya, he's staying with us for a while."

"Cool, he seemed really nice."

"O ya he's great!" Summer said raising her eyebrows, why was Marissa Cooper suddenly so interested in Ryan?

"Marissa we need you on stage now." A woman called from the other side of the stage.

"Coming! Well I better go, see you later."

"Ya nice talking to you!" Summer said and immediately went back to getting ready.

Summer was supposed to go on third after Holly and Jennifer, as she stood backstage waiting for the show to start she started getting really nervous. What am I doing here? Summer kept asking herself. Marissa had made a small speech that Summer was too nervous to even hear and the girls started to go on.

Ryan sat at a table with a bunch of little kids not wanting to go anywhere near any of the jocks Summer had told him about. He sat in awe watching as Marissa talked about the event and the charity it was for. There was something mesmerizing about her, he just couldn't help crushing on her even though they had only met once. Ryan watched as two blonde girls walked on stage one after the other both wearing dresses that were a little too short then they should have been. Not that Ryan minded.

Then came Summer. Ryan couldn't help but smile, she was not like the other girls. She was wearing a beautiful dress that looked great on her. Ryan gave a supporting cheer and when he caught her eye he gave her a thumbs up.

Don't fall, walk straight and just don't fall. Summer kept telling herself as she walked down the runway. She saw Ryan smiling at her and felt a little better. It was nice having a friend supporting her. As Summer did a little turn she also caught someone else's eye.

Seth was sitting at a table with a bunch of jocks who were deep in conversation, but he was not paying attention to them. Instead he was gazing at the girl now on the stage. He'd seen her before but it was like he was noticing her for the first time. How had he not noticed her before? And why couldn't he remember her name?

"Hey man, who's this girl?" Seth said turning to Luke.

"Umm, she's that Cohen girl, lives next door to Marissa. I think it's like Sara, or Stacey…o wait Summer! That's it Summer Cohen."

"Oh," Seth said looking back as Summer was walking off the stage.

Summer walked off the stage passing by Marissa who smiled and made her way down the runway.

When she got backstage Summer was greeted by Kirsten who was all smiles.

"Summer you look amazing! Sweetie I'm so happy you did this." Kirsten said bringing her daughter into her arms and hugging her.

"Umm, thanks mom, but umm you're kind of hurting me. And embarrassing me!" Summer said as her mom finally let go.

"Oh, sorry about that. Well I'm going to go back to the table I'll see you later." Kirsten said as she gave Summer one last kiss on the cheek and left.

Ryan watched as Marissa came down the runway looking amazing in her little dress. As Marissa reached the end of the stage she gave a smile to Ryan who she saw sitting at a table in front of the stage. Ryan returned the smile and they locked eyes.

"What's with that guy?" Luke said as he saw his girlfriend smiling at some guy he'd never seen before.

"No idea," Seth said.

"Oh, God." Summer said approaching Ryan who was still in a trance staring at Marissa.

"What!" Ryan said snapping out of the daze.

"Oh come on you're practically drooling over her!"

"I was not…I was just…hey you were great up there! You look really good." Ryan said trying desperately to change the subject.

"Thanks, but flattery will get you no where. Admit it you've got a thing for Marissa. Most guys do so it wouldn't really surprise me."

"I don't know, she's really pretty. But I don't even know her."

"Ya like that matters." Summer said rolling her eyes and laughing at Ryan. "Come on lets get out of this place."
