Andrew and Realizations
"Hey guys," Marissa said as she greeted Ryan and Summer Monday morning, making her way into Ryan's arms. The two immediately began making out leaving Seth and Summer to break away from the two and begin walking down the hall.
"So you ready to hand in your essay?" Seth asked referring to their French assignment that he had been helping her with.
"I guess so," Summer said not so reassuringly, "Just as long as I pass I guess."
"That's the spirit!" Seth said playfully hitting Summer in the arm and getting her to laugh.
"You're a jerk," Summer said hitting Seth back and running up the hallway a bit so he couldn't hit her back.
"Hey get back here!" Seth said chasing Summer down the hall where she hid behind some tall kid who had no idea what was going on, "Summer just because you're short doesn't mean I can't see you," Seth said causing Summer to giggle and run out from behind the boy. Seth caught Summer and began tickling her to the point where tears were running down her cheeks from laughing so hard.
It was obvious to Summer at this point that things were changing between her and Seth. They really were friends now and she liked it that way even though she still had feelings for him.
Seth continued tickling Summer until she finally convinced him to let go, leaning against a locker to try and catch her breathe.
"Summer? Hey!" A tall blonde came walking over to where Seth and Summer were standing. Seth had no idea who this guy was although he had a feeling that he'd seen him before. He was kind of scrawny looking and that fact that he was so tall didn't help him there, he had blue eyes and his blonde locks fell in his face ever so nicely.
"Andrew! Oh my God what are you doing here?" Summer said greeting Andrew with a hug.
"I just transferred. It's such a relief to finally see a familiar face though," Andrew said completely unaware Seth was standing there with Summer. Seth made a noise in his throat to get Summer's attention.
"Oh God sorry, um Andrew this is Seth, Seth this is Andrew he was my date at cotillion," Summer explained looking from Andrew to Seth and back again.
"Oh right, I knew I recognized you," Seth said ignoring Andrew's attempts to shake his hand, "Well we better get to French," Seth said as the bell rang motioning for Summer to follow him.
"Okay, um I'll find you at lunch alright?" Summer asked Andrew as Seth already began pulling her away.
"Alright see you later." Andrew said as he was left to fend for himself in a school full of Newport's teens.

"Okay are you gonna tell me what that was about?" Summer asked as she and Seth took their seats in their French class a few minutes later.
"What are you talking about?" Seth asked trying to sound confused, but Summer knew her knew exactly what she was talking about.
"You know what I'm talking about Seth. Back there with Andrew what was that?" Summer asked only receiving a confused look from Seth, "You didn't have to pull me away like that."
"Sum, we had class, I just didn't want to be late," Seth said trying to sound innocent, but the truth was he didn't like this Andrew guy already it was something in the way he looked at Summer, "Listen I'm sorry okay?"
"Okay," Summer said deciding not to push the issue anymore.

"So this Seth guy from this morning, is this the same guy you were talking about at cotillion?" Andrew asked as he and Summer made their way through the halls that day during lunch.
"Well yes," Summer said a bit embarrassed.
"What happened? I thought you said you were over him," Andrew said sounding a bit disappointed.
"Well its different now," Summer said trying to explain, "We're friends now, and he's tutoring me in French, so it's not like I can ignore him or anything."
"Oh please I saw you two this morning; you so still have a thing for him!"
"Well I don't know, I guess maybe," Summer said taking an interest in her shoes as they made their way outside to find Ryan, Marissa and Seth.
"Ya that's what I thought," Andrew said as Summer looked up and spotted her friends at a table not too far away.
"Come on lets go sit over there," Summer said taking Andrew by the hand and leading him over to the table, "Hey guys this is my friend Andrew, Andrew this is Marissa , Ryan and well you already know Seth," Summer said introducing everyone while still holding Andrew's hand without even realizing it.
Seth on the other hand could not take his eyes off Summer's hand which was holding on to Andrew's hand. Was it possible they were dating already? Andrew had only been here a day. What does it matter who she's dating? Seth thought to himself, she's just your friend.
"So Andrew did you just move Newport?" Marissa asked breaking Seth from his trance as Summer sat next to him and Andrew sat on the other side of her.
"Ya I just moved here from Pittsburg," Andrew answered, "It's a lot different here, I don't know what I'd do if it wasn't for Summer I'd be totally alone," Andrew said causing Summer to blush.
"So how are your classes?" Ryan asked trying to be polite even though he really wasn't that interested.
"Um, pretty good but my Law teacher seems pretty tough."
"You must have Nori," Summer said receiving a confused look from Andrew.
"How did you know?"
"I took Law last year I had him too, you know I did pretty well in that class I could help you out if you want," Summer said with a smile that Seth couldn't help but wish was directed towards him.
"Thanks that would be awesome," Andrew said giving Summer a big smile, "You know I was actually hoping we could hang out after school today."
"Ya sure that'd be great." Summer said.
"I thought we were studying tonight?" Seth asked finally saying something after staying silent the whole time.
"Well it's not like we have a test or anything, I'll be fine if we take one night off," Summer said turning to Seth.
"I thought you wanted to go over everything, you can never be too prepared you know," Seth said trying his best not to sound desperate.
"Well can't we do it tomorrow? I want to hang out with Andrew tonight." Summer said getting a little frustrated, why was Seth acting like this?
"Well it's just I have to go out for dinner tomorrow night with my dad so I don't really know if I can, that's why I thought we were doing it tonight," Seth said not wanting to give up.
"You know Sum its fine we can hang out some other time," Andrew interrupted sensing the awkwardness falling over the table.
"No it's not. I want to hang out tonight so I'm going to, we'll just have to study tomorrow at lunch," Summer said looking to Seth, daring him to even argue.
"Fine then tomorrow at lunch it is," Seth said knowing he had lost, "Well I'm gonna go," he said as he picked up his things from the table and walked away.
"Seth," Summer called from behind him when he had got half way across the food court.
"What?" Seth asked turning around hoping maybe Summer had changed her mind.
"What is up? Why have you been acting like such a jerk?" Summer asked a little confused.
"I haven't" Seth lied knowing perfectly well how he'd been acting.
"You have so, and I don't know why but I'd really like it if you went back to acting like Seth because you're not being yourself today," Summer said looking at him with her big brown eyes.
"Ya, sorry it's just been a rough day," Seth said turning away and walking toward the library.

"Hey man," Ryan greeted Seth as he walked into their science class that afternoon, "what happened to you today at lunch?"
"I don't know I just went to the library, I had some work to do," Seth lied.
"Oh cool," Ryan said knowing Seth was probably lying, he was acting weird today at lunch, "So what do you think about this new guy? Andrew?"
"I don't know, I don't really like him," Seth said, his frustrations building up again.
"Why not? He seems like a pretty descent guy," Ryan said knowing he had struck something here with Seth.
"I don't know he just seems kind of fake. And come one he's from Pittsburg? And did you see how scrawny he is? Like he really needs to try eating," Seth began rambling," And really is it just me or is the dude freakishly tall!"
"Ya he is pretty tall man," Ryan said laughing.
"Seriously the guy looks like a tree," Seth said as Ryan just laughed, knowing there was a lot more to Seth's hate for this kid then his height.

At the end of the day Seth stood waiting by the parking lot for Marissa to drive him home. As he watched all the people walking around the school, running for the cars after a long day of school, two people caught his eye. From across the parking lot Seth could see Summer and Andrew walking towards a car he did not recognize, talking and laughing while Andrew opened the passenger side door for Summer.
"You like her don't you?" Marissa asked coming up behind Seth, noticing him staring in the direction of Summer.
"What? Who?" Seth asked trying to sound confused.
"Who do you think? Summer!" Marissa said motioning with her head towards the car driving away with Summer in it.
"What? No! Of course not! Me and Summer are just friends," Seth said trying to defend himself.
"Oh please Seth I've known you forever you can't lie to me," Marissa said, she had seen the way Seth had been looking at Summer lately and now with this Andrew guy around he had become suddenly jealous.
"Seriously Riss, we're just friends," Seth said, but he knew this was all a lie. The truth was he had fallen for Summer and he really didn't want to be just friends anymore. But now with Andrew around he didn't know if that would be possible.
