Seth walked down the lightless hallway, making his way to the bathroom. But he couldn't help but stop and stare through the cracked door at Summer's sleeping body.

A few pillows lined one side of the bed and Seth knew she had Caden with her. He was very much awake, too. His chubby feet popped up and kicked the air. Seth laughed and opened the door all the way.

The moon lit the king sized bed with his family on it, and he wanted to join them badly. But he knew Summer would decapitate him if he did. So he just stared for a few moments.

Caden got restless and Summer stirred. He didn't want her to wake up so he guided himself through the dark and lifted their baby from the cushiony bed.

Caden instantly leaned his head on Seth's shoulder and gummed the fabric of his shirt.

Everything seemed to be fine at the moment…but in a few hours, when Summer would wake up, he would be reminded that everything wasn't fine.

Next Day

Summer zipped her jeans up and pulled her shirt over her long hair that hung in loose curls. She hadn't talked to Seth all morning and it was driving her nuts. They just completely ignored each other.

If they spoke to each other it would turn into harsh words, so they both chose not to talk at all. It was easier that way. Sort of.

She did know one thing. Anna's ass was hers. There was no way she was going to kiss Cohen, her man, and get away with it. No way in hell.

Summer opened the door to their bedroom and walked out. Seth was putting things into the diaper bag and holding Caden at the same time.

She decided to speak but her voice was muffled. "I'll take him"

Summer stretched her arms out in preparation but Seth showed no signs of handing the chunky baby over.

Summer sighed. God, he was so stubborn! "Cohen, I'll take him" she said again.

Seth stopped fidgeting with the diaper bag and looked over his shoulder. "I've got him" he replied before continuing what he was doing.

Summer rolled her eyes. "Why do you have to be so god-damn difficult? I said I would take him. Quit acting so self-righteous and give him to me"

Seth narrowed his eyes. "Why do I have to be so difficult? Why do you have to be so persistent? I said I've got him, which means I've got him. I don't need to give him to you"

"Well did you ever think that maybe I would like to hold my son before we go to school?" Summer hissed.

"Well did you ever think that maybe I would like to hold my son before we go to school?" Seth mocked.

Summer glared feverishly at him. He was pissing her off and he knew it. This bantering could go on for hours, so Summer swallowed her hateful words and grabbed her purse off the bar.

"Fine, I'm going to school. I'll see you tonight"

School

Summer spotted her newest victim walking down the hallway, books in hand. Her blonde hair bounced behind her and her purple skirt distastefully clashed with her yellow tank.

"Ok, Summer, play it off nicely at first. Then unleash the wolves" she said, coaching herself. Summer forced her lips to turn up in a fake but believable smile as she walked up behind Anna.

"Hey Anna" Summer chirped.

Anna halted in the middle of the stuffy hallway and turned to Summer. She wasn't acting mad. Maybe Seth hadn't told her. Maybe he wasn't going to.

She swallowed hard and replied. "Hey Summer. How's it going?"

Summer's cheeks were getting tired but she kept smiling. "I'm good. Oh my god I love your lipstick. It's a great shade on you"

Anna fingers came up to linger on her lips. That was the first compliment she'd ever received from Summer. Something was going on.

"Uh…thanks"

Summer nodded and wiped the smile off her face. Her eyes darkened and she clenched her fists tightly. "Yeah, is it the same color you were wearing when you kissed my boyfriend?"

Anna backed away from Summer's glare. "Look, Summer, that was a mistake and…"

Anna was cut off by a stinging sensation on her cheek. Students in the hall stopped to hopefully see a fight unfold.

"Let me tell you something Pittsburgh. Seth and I have something great going for us and I'm not about to let you screw that up because you can't get over the short fling you had in like 10th grade. Forget it. It was two years ago!"

Anna's defenses sparked up. "I don't know what he told you Summer, but Seth came onto me. He said he wasn't happy with you and that all you did was nag on him. So I would check your facts before you start slapping me around" she lied.

Summer's heart stopped beating. Every ounce of her body knew she was lying…except for like 1 percent. It kind of made sense. Was he happy?

My god they kept tossing this topic around. Was she happy? Was he happy? They kept throwing it around, and even when they thought they had figured it out, something happened to make them question it yet again!

Why did the world hate them so much? Maybe the world was paying her back for every bitchy thing she'd ever done. If that was the case she was going to have bad luck for like…a severely long time!

Summer realized she hadn't spoken yet. Anna was not going to win this battle though! Summer intended to fight with her until she was blue in the face…or at least until she won.

"That is such a lie. I know you came onto him! Let it happen again, I will personally peel your skin off and pour salt all over your shriveled body"

Anna grimaced. Summer smiled wickedly to herself. Yes! She was winning the battle. She was also sounding crazy, but whatever.

"Makes you cringe doesn't it?" Summer hissed, scrunching her nose up.

Terror was in Anna's eyes but she wasn't about to back down. "Threaten me all you want Summer. I'm not afraid of you"

Summer smirked. "If you were smart you would be very scared of me. Stay away from Seth"

With that, Summer turned and walked away, smiling in victory. She crossed her fingers and prayed that Anna had a handprint on her face for a very long time. Serves her right!

1 Week Later

School

Summer chewed on the bottom of her pen. She wasn't paying a bit of attention to Mr. Whitman or his lesson. She was paying attention to Seth who sat a row up from her.

He was staring out the window, but every once in awhile he'd focus in on the teacher. She smiled. He was such a dork. His curly brown hair stuck up and a few pieces strayed on his forehead.

His foot that, of course, had a converse on it tapped the floor. He had a hideously ugly brown and blue striped shirt on buttoned all the way to the top. God, he really was a dork. A dork she loved.

A dork that she ignored all week. A dork she made sleep on the couch because she was still pissed off. Or she still acted pissed, anyways.

It wasn't the fact that Anna had kissed him that made her so mad. It was simply the fact that he kissed her back. I mean…why? He knew what was happening when they were kissing. He knew that her tongue was in his mouth.

But for some reason she wasn't that mad about it anymore. She wanted to go back to the way it was a week ago, when they would watch Jay Leno together and make-out while Caden slept.

That was a totally different story. She was going insane. Completely and utterly insane! Cohen hadn't touched her in a week and she was about to lose it. She needed his lips on hers and his hands on her body.

God, why did she have to be so stubborn?

Summer opened her purple notebook and grabbed her green ink pen.

Cohen,

Meet me in the old locker room at lunch.

Love,

The only girl that would ever want to meet you in an old locker room!

Summer folded the paper a few times to condense it's size, grabbed a pencil from her purse, and walked across the room to the pencil sharpener, dropping the note on Seth's desk as she walked.

Seth glanced confusingly at her when she turned to walk back to her desk. He obviously hadn't read the note yet or he would have been smiling. He knew what would go on in the locker room…it's not like they'd never been in there before.

She heard the crinkle of the paper opening before she sat down and he looked over at her after clearly reading it. He looked confused. In a happy way.

Locker room

Seth pushed the door open and met the darkness that awaited him. He sighed. There were no sign of Summer. He felt the wall for the light switch but couldn't find it.

He turned to leave but small, forceful hands whirled him around and pushed him against the door. He felt the pressure of her lips against his and he moaned into her mouth when she forced his lips open, slipping her tongue in.

She was in a hurry and she wasn't going to hear any complaints from him! Seth's hands slipped down her sides to her waist and his fingers rubbed the skin between her shirt and jeans.

Shivers went up and down Summer's spine. God, she missed this. Suddenly, she was being backed up against the medal lockers. She shivered as the cold seeped through her shirt but Seth's hands quickly made the cold evaporate and warmth spread through her.

"Are…you…still…mad?" Seth asked between feverish kisses.

"No" she breathed heavily, quickly catching his lips again.

"That's…good"

Summer didn't even bother to pull back. She'd die if she did. "Mmhmm"

Later…

Summer emerged from the very private, very useful locker room and ran a finger through her messy hair.

How she had managed to stay so quiet she didn't know. It was very unlike her. But hey, you gotta do what you gotta do. And that was something she had to do!

Seth waited a few minutes before leaving the locker room himself to avoid looking…obvious. The halls were empty, though.

He walked back down the hallway and grinned to himself. Life kept doing flip flops on him. One minute it was good, the next bad. But right now, it was undeniably good.
