Chapter4 - Secret Romance.
They were at the beach, and Summer and Marissa were joking around with each other, and Seth wasn't sure what the whole point of coming here was. He wanted to make new friends, but he didn't know what to say to these girls, they were obviously closer then sisters, and he was just this new guy, and he didn't know what to do.
"This isn't much better then your warm house Coop." Summer said finally.
"Coop?" Seth asked.
"Yeah, well, Marissa's last name is Cooper, and it's always easier for me to call someone by their last name, so, Coop." She smiled.
"That's cute." He said, smiling back.
Pretty soon all 3 of them were engulfed into big discussions, and they were getting to know each other. Summer was still in her tiny black dress, and Marissa was still in her dress. Seth was pretty content, in his regular clothes.
"I'm really tired, Coop." Summer hadn't talked that much, it was mainly Marissa and Seth talking about how much they had in common.
"Okay. Well let's go."
With that Summer jumped onto Marissa's back, and walked back to Marissa's house. Seth didn't even say good-bye, he just walked to his house. He thought that Summer was really freaking hott, but he didn't really let it phase him. Next thing he knows, he hears some commotion.
"Coop! The coast is clear, go. Hurry." Seth had been reading on the balcony that over looked Marissa's house.
Seth saw Marissa jump off her balcony into the arms of some guy, and Summer looked up and saw Seth. She put her finger up to her lips and made the shhh noise, smiled and went back into the room. Marissa's bedroom balcony and Seth's bedroom balcony were right across from each other. Seth wondered what Marissa was doing, and how the hell did that guy get past the guards at the front?
"Oh well." He said to himself, and passed out on his balcony.
It was bothering Summer that Seth hadn't made a move on her. There wasn't one guy that she had met before that hadn't tried something with her, so it sort of puzzled her why Seth acted so over his girlfriend, and wouldn't even give Summer a look of interest, especially in her ensemble. She stopped herself.
"Summer. This is what i feels like when you like a guy, you sit there and wonder things all the time. You are not going to like someone you don't even really know. Stop it." She said to herself, she went out to the balcony, waiting for Coop's return. Marissa and Ryan Atwood headed up her long drive way making out the whole way.
"Coop, freaking hurry, its 4:30!" Summer screamed.
Pulling away from the lip lock, Marissa jumped up and grabbed the rope Summer had ready, and climbed up. At this point, Seth was awake, and he saw Marissa climbing up a rope, and going over her. Seth walked down the convenient stairs that were on his balcony, and across the grass over to Marissa's house. He looked up and Summer.
"What the hell are you guys doing."
"Shhh, Cohen." Summer said.
Ryan Atwood was Marissa's secret boyfriend. He was rich and had a good family, and lived a couple houses down, and across the street, but he was a BAD BOY. He got in trouble all the time, and no parents wanted their daughters dating him. He was on the verge of getting kicked out of his house, and he'd have to go stay in a foster home. Marissa and Ryan had liked each other for a long time, and finally they started dating. He'd come get her every night, and she'd sneak out until almost 5 A.M. Most of the time Summer would stay awake, or set her alarm, and let Coop back into the house. It was a tedious thing, but Summer knew that Marissa loved Ryan, and it was the only way.
