Chapter 6 - Crazy about You.

So, Kirsten had actually agreed to letting this kid live in their pool house, which didn't seem like her. Oh well, Seth got to live with Marissa's boyfriend, and there wasn't ever a time Summer wasn't with Marissa, so maybe he would get to hang with Summer some more. He could tell that he was starting to like her, or at least like her looks, a lot.

"So, sweetie. We're going to have a charity party in the back yard tonight." Kirsten said.

"Since when? Do these events pop up over night?" Seth asked.

"Usually." Ryan chimed in, walking in from the pool house. "Coffee?" He asked Kirsten.

"Sure." She smiled. "Yes, they do sort of up, just pop up." Kirsten said to Seth.

"I'm off to work boys, please clear the patio for me today, and when your dad gets home he'll finish everything. Bye." She walked out the door.

"So, what are we going to do today?" Ryan asked, surprising Seth.

"You actually wanna hang out with me?" Seth asked him, with seriousness.

"Uh. Yeah man. Summer told me how cool you were, when I was waiting for Marissa to get out of the shower." He started. Seth was listening, intensively. "She was like 'he's so funny, and he's really cute too, he gets a 10 in my books Ry.'" Ryan said laughing at is mimic of Summer.

"Summer said that to you?" Seth asked.

"She digs you man. Which is a defiant first. She normally doesn't dig guys. But, lets go do something."

With that, Summer and Marissa rang Seth's doorbell.

"Hey guys." Marissa said leaning in to kiss Ryan.

"Hey Cohen." Summer said.

"So you're calling me Cohen now? You and the last names." He teased her.

"Just cause it's easier for me to use last names, you just gotta make fun of me!" She flirted with him hardcore.

They decided to go outside and swim and mess around. Ryan and Seth moved all the patio furniture.

"So, Seth hasn't invited you to the party yet?" Marissa asked Summer,

"Ugh. No. He's so cute too, I've never been attracted to anyone as much as I am attracted to him." Summer said. She was pissed she had feelings for Cohen.

"Well, he'll probably ask you." Marissa said.

She was off in her own world. Her boyfriend lived next door, and she could come see him anytime she wanted too, hang out with him during the day, and it would be fine. Ryan looked at her like she was the prettiest girl alive, and she loved him. He was a bad boy, and she didn't really know how guys like him felt about the famous 3 words, but that's how she felt. She'd started to like him at the end of 9th grade, but she wasn't sure how to tell Summer. Summer actually figured it out, and told Marissa that every girl at Harbor thinks Ryan is hott, they just don't really dig his edgy attitude, and to "go after him." Marissa ended up finding out from some other people that Ryan had his eye on her for a while, and really wanted to get to know her. They got drunk together and made out. It was the best first kiss she'd ever had. They started dating the next day, and had seen each other everyday since then.

"RYAN!" She yipped, jumping on his back.

He was crazy about her. He loved being around her. He'd never thought about if he loved her or not before, but he was really crazy about her.

"So Summer." Seth started out. "You coming to the Charity thing my parents are hosting?" Seth asked.

"I dunno." She said.

"Well . . . Would you want to go with me?" He squinted his eyes in the sun.

She giggled a little. "I suppose, Cohen." She smiled at him.

"Sweet. Well, then I'll pick you up at 7:30. It's 4:45 now, so you and Marissa better go get changed. But, do I pick you up at Marissa's or your house?" He seemed serious.

"First date?" She thought. "Mine." Summer smiled. "Here's the way to may house." Grabbing a piece of paper she drew out the way to get there, and she left.

"Bye Cohen." She waved.

"See ya, Summer."
