Chapter 4 - The Preparation.
Summer awoke from her first night in the new house. She'd lived in Laguna for a while, and gotten used to waking up every morning, with a phone call from Nathan. This morning was totally different. It was some Saturday morning in the middle of June, and Summer was feeling the butterflies in the stomach about the charity event she'd be attending today. She'd go with her father, dressed up to her best, and face all of the kids who she last remembered as a group of 13 year olds squirting water bottles and silly string all over each other on the last day of 7th grade.
"Just get over it." She told herself aloud. "It'll have to happen sometime, why not now?" She braced her fears, and put on a fake tough-act, and jumped out of bed.

"Dude, this charity event better go by quick, cause Haley is having this sweet action kegger afterwards, starting at like 10 or 11." Jaime Hooper's voice echoed from the Seth's speaker phone.
"Haley? I dunno man if I can go, Haley is just so unattractive." Seth laughed out.
"Dude. Your sarcasm sometimes goes to far, considering Haley Logan is one of the hottest girls are Harbor." Jaime ranted on and on.
Seth laughed aloud. "Yeah, she's hott." He smiled remembering their fling from the summer break before 9th grade, until before Christmas for 9th grade.
After finally hanging up with Jaime, Seth headed to his closet to get his outfit for the Newport Underprivileged Children's charity event out. His mom needed to press it.
"What to wear, what to wear." Seth talked out loud.
He eventually chose a nice black tux, with a royal blue undershirt, and a black tie to wear. This event was extremely formal, and was being held in his backyard, which wasn't small in anyway at all. Seth figured he'd go skate for a while, then come back and get ready.
"Tonight might be cool." He said to his dad walking out the front door on his board.
"Sure thing son." Sandy Cohen said, looking surprised. "Sure thing."

"SUMMER ROBERTS WE'RE LEAVING FOR THIS CHARITY EVENT IN 20 MINUTES, YOU HAD BETTER BE READY." Mr. Roberts yelled up the enormous staircase.
"K." Summer replied short and sweet.
She'd been contemplating on what to wear to this event for over 3 hours, she'd had the wave curlers in her hair for 45 minutes, and had barley started applying her make-up, because she new it'd take her hours to decide what to wear.
"This so frustrating." She said to herself in the mirror.
She stood up and walked into her closet. She brushed her fingers along each piece of clothing hanging, and looked down at her shoes. She looked up and saw this cute burgundy dress. It had a empire style, with gold lining, and a bohemian feel to the design within the small diamond across the chest. It tied loosely in the back with a fat gold ribbon.
"Yup, wearing this."
She sat back down at her vanity, and did her make up. She carefully took her curlers out of her hair, and pulled a small portion of hair back and put it into a smaller half-up half-down style, and left her side-swept bangs out. She walked to her closet and grabbed the hanger the dress hung on, and slipped it on over her head.
"WHAT SHOES." She began to freak out. "Ah, these are perfect." She looked down to find a pair of gold shoes that had a cross-cross tie that went slightly up her calf.
She slipped on a toe that was gold and had a diamond on it. She put in some larger gold hoop earrings, and put on a gold necklace with a heart charm, and sprayed her Pherose perfume 3 times.

It was 7:00, and the event began at 7:30, Seth was just jumping into the shower. He got out within 5 minutes, and put on some cologne. He ran back into his room, and quickly got dressed. He put on another spray of his Hugo Boss for men, and put on his socks and shoes. He headed down to the kitchen, and waited for someone he knew to arrive.

Well, now we know where Seth Cohen is, we've brought him back into the story, and gave him a LITTLE bit of depth. We're still focusing on just Summer for a little while, which I'm heading to slow that down.
