Mr. Nice Guy Jerk.Different taste,Different faces.

"What is so funny about that Coop? Stop grinning now ! It is not funny,if you are stalked by some jerk named Seth Cohen !"


"He isn't a Stalker Sum, I mean he was in the crabshack first,and only because he visits the same school,he is not a stalker...

Otherwise,Luke must be a stalker ,too. "


"No , Luke isn't because you like Luke. And he is popular,just like we are. I mean if you'd ask anyone who Seth Cohen is,the answer would be "I dunno."

Marissa turned around her back, to look at Seth . He was not that bad looking,but not as good as Luke either.

Suddenly,as their glances cross, Seth was waving again,like he did at noon at school.

He was still slurping his soda.

"Coop what is wrong with you",Summer said by grabbing her arm,"Look at me,not at him,otherwise he could think we want him to sit with us."Summer was totally in her element.

"Maybe that's what he wants ?Or better,what you want ?" By saying those words,Marissa stood up and walked over to Seth's table.

While she got nearer,Seth started to slurp louder and louder,Marissa had to laugh.

"COME BACK NOW MARISSA ! I SWEAR,YOU ARE GOING TO DIE TODAY,IF YOU WON'T COME BACK!"

But Marissa didn't come back.Summer was rolling her eyes,but she swore herself not to stand up and go to that table either.

"I guess that's empty,you can stop slurping"Marissa said softly,like she was talking to a baby.

Seth seemed as shy as a little 2 year old child. He was quiet,and his head was red like a tomatoe.

He couldn't say anything. He stopped slurping his soda,but he still kept the straw in his mouth.

"Hi,I am Marissa Cooper,you are Seth Cohen right ?"Marissa asked and had a demanding look on her face.

Seth was only nodding. " You go to the same schooll as I am right?" Seth was nodding again.

"And where Summer Roberts,my best friend back there at the table does,right ?"

Now Seth was nodding,like he tried to get rid of his head.

"Wouh,okay,you can stop nodding,I mean it is really obvious that you totally like Summer."

Seth was whispering: Really ? I thought it wasn't that obvious...

Marissa: Only a blind man would not notice that.

Seth mumbled something Marissa could not quite understand.

Marissa was turning to Summer,who looked more than just angry at her,she was gesticulating hectically .

When Marissa showed no reaction, Summer stood up and broke her own promise,not to go to that table,Seth Cohen was sitting at.

-What happened to me,Summer thought.It can't be me going to that jerky table.-

Seth suddenly started to slurp again,as he noticed that Summer Roberts came over.

"Coop,what are you doing ? Why are you talking to him?"She tried to sound elderly.

"Just talking",she answered." What is the point Sum?Why don't you say hi to him?"

Seth smiled,stopped slurping and said loud and clearly: Hi, my name is,..

Then he was suddenly interrupted by Summer. " Stop screaming at me,I already had that today. You wanted to say Hi,My name is Seth Cohen,I am an idiot stalking after Summer Roberts.

Sorry I already knew that"

Seth's corners of the mouth turned down,looking sadly at Summer.He didn't know what she meant by she already had that today,or did he scream at her today some time before ? Or did he scream at all ? He thought he didn't.

" I just wanted to be nice, but I guess you can't be ."Seth mumbled.

" Yah,I tell you what,be nice by not talking to me jerk. Come on Coop ,let's go."

She pulled Marissa out of the Crab Shack."Ouch, that did hurt"Marissa said.

"Sorry,wasn't suppose to grab you that tight."

" No I don't mean pulling me. I mean how you talked to Seth. You didn't give him any chance,to show who he is,what he is about."

" I already know that coop. I mean there can't be anything special about a boy,whos name nobody knows."

Marissa felt sorry for Seth inside. She was quite interested,who he was. He seemed to be a nice shy boy. She would talk to him later again,when she was without Summer.

"Okay,forget it Sum. It's your business,not mine."

By the word business,Summer was reminded of the parent's fight two hours earlier.It reminded her,that she had to face what she heard.

She needed to get home,do her usual homework,before her parents would notice that she was already home.

"You are totally right . You know what, I gotta go home now,so do you right ? "

"Yeah,I should,or otherwise Mum is killing me. So you call if there is an emergency again.Bye Sum"

"Thank you Coop" Summer softly said,and gave Marissa a hug,that Marissa wasn't used to. It was long and deep.

They smiled at each other,turning into different directions,like they did hours ago,before Summer'S discovery which she should not have made.
