'ok I want it there...and there!' marissa dictated to seth

'god why are girls such dictators?' seth whined

marissa poked her tongue at him.

'whoa...look at the time! I need to get ready for this thing'

'oh yeah, me too...god why do you have to set up these things anyway. summer drags me to them all the time'

'kicking and screaming?' marissa said

'no...wat ev' seth said

'what did you just say' marissa asked

'err...nothing..see you at the dance' seth said as he put down the palm tree and sped off home

marissa finally finished up and went to summers place..

'so you'll pick me up at 6?' anna asked ryan

'yeah sure' ryan said as he gave her a hug goodbye. she smiled

she sped off in her car to get ready as quickly as possible although ryan dreaded the event.

'shes going tomoro, so this is all cool' ryan thought to himself as he got ready.

summer walked into her room and marissa was already there.

'hey' marissa said

'oh, hey. Oh i nearly forgot. Ren asked me to ask you if you would go to the dance with him' summer said quickly

'no way...I mean theres no chance I would...why are rushing?' marissa asked

'oh, Diego's downstairs. we're just gonna go to the arcade for a bit but I wouldnt miss the dance for the world. Hey coop, just go with ren. I hear anna the btch is going with ryan' summer said

'really? I mean I dont care...you think?' marissa asked

'yeah coop totally. He went ice man on yoh ass. do the same. It'll make you feel much better. Ok bye!' summer said as she ran downstairs

'cya...' marissa said as she thought.

she picked up her phone and dialled rens number

ring ring, ring ring,

'oh hey ren...so I was thinging..., yeah ok that sounds great. cya soon' marissa said on the phone and hung up.

seth bursted into the poolhouse.

'how do I look?' seth said as he complained about his bow

'yeah you look fine man' ryan said but not really paying attention to seth

'you know ryan, as I look back on my high school years, these small talks I am going to remember the most. ya no-' seth said as ryan cut in

'what time is it?' ryan asked panicly

'almost 6. whats up?' seth asked

'I gotta go pick up anna!' ryan said worriedly as he shoved his shoes on and ran out

'so I'll talk to you later!...' seth yelled but ryan was outta there

summer said she would pick seth up from his house as her stepmom was walking around the house on pain killers and summer didnt want seth to be freaked out by that so seth waited.

'ohmigod...you did just not beat me at packman!' summer yelled with a coke in her hand

'yeah I kinda did' Diego laughed'

summer was having so much fun that she forgot about everything

'another round?' diego asked

'you bet' summer giggled as they playing again

'where could she be?...she was the one who wanted to go' seth thought as he stood in front of the house.

time struck 6:45pm

seth was standing there alone.
red bow and clean suit.
red roses in his hand especially picked out for summer.

time struck 6:50

he positioned his posture

time struck 7:00pm

a sad look appeared on his face and a tear rolled down his cheek.
he had been stood up but he was used to it.
he was seth cohen.
he was nobody.
