And Then There's You
Chapter One - The Right Kind Of Wrong
A/N: This is my new O.C fic, it's mainly going to be SS. I do not own the O.C or the song 'Right Kind of Wrong' by Leann Rimes from the Coyote Ugly soundtrack!
Know all about
About your reputation
And how it's bound to be
A heartbreak situation
But I can't help it
If I'm helpless
Everytime that I'm where you are.
"God, that Seth Cohen is such a nerd." One of Summer's friends commented in disgust after he passed them in the corridor.
Summer said nothing, she didn't want to draw attention to herself and the wide smile that was now plastered on her face. Cohen had looked at her; smiled at her. Summer's insides lurched and she felt a blush caress her cheeks. It was so unreal, usually Summer could have, and got, any guy she wanted but with Seth it was different.
You walk in and my sense
Walks out the door
Say my name
And I can't fight it anymore
Oh I know, I should go
But I need your touch
Just too damn much.
"Summer?" Her friend, Ella, asked noticing that she had not spoken at all during their lunch break.
"Yeah?" She looked up pushing some strands of dark hair away from her face.
"Are you with us?" Ella asked. "We were talking about Anna's hair. Surely there is something else she could do with it?"
"Mm." Was Summer's response, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.
"Sum, you okay?" Ella asked, her green eyes were concerned.
She nodded. "Yeah I'm fine."
Loving you isn't really
Something I should do
Shouldn't wanna spend
My time with you
I should try to be strong
But baby you're the right kinda wrong.
Baby you're the right kind of wrong.
Seth saw her across the room with her friends, wondering what she was thinking about. Her mind didn't seem to be on anything her friends were talking about.
She looked up and saw him looking at her. She tucked another lock of hair behind her ear and smiled nervously. Seth saw that she had seen him and looked down at the book he was pretending to be reading; he could feel his face burning.
It might be a mistake
A mistake I'm making
But what you're giving
I am happy to be taking
'Cause no one's ever made me feel
This way when I'm in your arms.
Leaving it for a few minutes, Seth finally made his exit as inconspicuously as he possibly could. Summer's eyes followed him as he left. Ella seemed to notice.
"1-10?" Ella asked grinning.
"Huh?" Summer asked turning her eyes back to her friend.
"Nerd rating 1-10?" Ella repeated.
"Oh," Summer understood now but made her excuses. "I've got to be somewhere, see ya later."
Ella raised an eyebrow but they let her go.
They say you're something
I should do without
They don't know what goes on
When the lights go out.
There's no way to explain
All the pleasure is worth all the pain.
Seth had felt Summer's eyes on him as he walked out and he didn't know why. He had heard her friend's laughing and he knew it must be directed at him.
Outside it was raining so Seth put his book away and walked outside into the rain. It was cold and Seth soon felt the big thunder spots slap against his skin.
Summer wrapped her arms around herself as it was getting cold for September. She looked around for Seth but she couldn't see him until…
Loving you isn't really
Something I should do
Shouldn't wanna spend
My time with you
I should try to be strong
But baby you're the right kinda wrong.
Baby you're the right kind of wrong.
He was walking slowly through the curtain of thickly falling raindrops. His head was bent downwards, the water soaking his head. Summer couldn't move for a moment, her breath caught in her throat. She had never felt like this before.
I should try to run
But I can't seem to
'Cause everytime I run
You're the one I run to
Can't do without what you do to me
I don't care if I'm in too deep.
Seth felt a presence behind him he turned around but saw no one there. Dismissing it he kept walking, heading for his car. He would blow off afternoon school; he wanted to drive.
Summer breathed in sharply, filling her lungs. It had been close but Seth hadn't seen her. She didn't know what she would say if he saw her. Summer had never needed someone the way she need Cohen and it scared her.

Summer battled on through the rain which was falling even faster now. She saw Seth walking towards the school gates, he stopped still searching through his pockets for his keys. Summer couldn't help but smile at this. Swallowing her pride and summoning some form of fool's courage:
"Do you want some help?" Summer asked shyly.
Seth looked up in surprise dropping his keys just as he found them.
"Summer." He breathed.
You walk in and my strength
Walks out the door
Say my name
And I can't fight it anymore
Oh I know, I should go
But I need your touch
Just too damn much.
It took a while for Seth to get his head around what was happening. Everything seemed to have gone all Hollywood on him and he didn't seem to be in control either. Bending to pick up his keys he was subconsciously aware of Summer doing the same. Their hands brushed together as they tried to rescue the keys. Seth looked up as both of their hands plunged into the newly formed puddle and he noticed how close they were.
Summer picked them up and waved them close to Seth's face, smiling as she did so.
"Thanks." He replied weakly, offering Summer his hand to help her up with.
She took it, still smiling.
Loving you isn't really
Something I should do
Shouldn't wanna spend
My time with you
I should try to be strong
But baby you're the right kinda wrong.
Regardless of the rain and the fact that they were accumulating an audience because Summer's friends had been worried about her, Seth pulled her to him. She didn't back away or become embarrassed. Instead she took Seth's face in her hands and kissed him.
Summer's friends began to walk away but she didn't care. She kissed Seth again and grinned at him.
Seth wrapped his arms around her waist and grinned back, unable to believe that this was really happening to him.
But baby you're the right kinda wrong.
Baby you're the right kind of wrong.
I hope you liked this so far! It will mainly be centred around Summer and Seth. If any of you are confused Ella is a character I created for this story.
I will be continuing with There You'll Be and I really appreciate your reviews and I would love to know what you think about this story!
