Chapter 5 - The Opposites

"Anything but the blatant truth, was your lips touching mine in the photo booth..." Summer woke up to these particular Death Cab lyrics. It was a few days into the vacation, and Summer was already annoyed with Seth's whatever he called music, and some of his antics. He pretty much acted like she wasn't even there.

"UH. EARTH TO COHEN. IT'S 9:15 IN THE MORNING, I'M TRYING TO FREAKING SLEEP!" Summer yelled to Seth.

He blocked out what she said, and turned it up a little more. He didn't really care about Summer's opinion. He just figured that they were stuck together, and there was nothing to do but get sea sick, or get fish smelling by going outside, so both of them usually stayed in their big room all day. Of course, they didn't even talk to each other... unless they were screaming at each other to turn down music, or use less hot water. Summer decided that she would just get out of bed, and go and turn it down herself. She was getting a headache, and wanted to sleep til around 11. She walked out of her room, and walked over to his room, forgetting she was only wearing a really revealing night gown... but she didn't really care anyways. She reached for his door knob, and opened the door, seeing him organizing his closet, she put her fingers on the speaker knob, and turned it down tremendously.

"There we go." She said in a prissy tone. "It's loud enough for you to listen too, and quiet enough for me to go back to sleep." She walked out of the room, slamming the door.

Seth didn't really care that she turned it down, cause he turned it back up before she even got halfway back to her room. She turned around quickly, and slammed on his door really loud. He opened the door.

"WHAT?"

She looked straight into his eyes. "Please turn it down... I really want to sleep." She nicely asked, and turned around, and went back to her room.

Seth got a taste of the Summer he used to know. Which was his best friend, she was the coolest girl of all time. Once Summer started growing up in 8th grade, Seth really started to develop feelings for her as a girlfriend. He never forgot the day they went swimming in the summer before 8th grade, and he first noticed Summer as a girl, and not just as his friend. From then on, he liked her 'like that.' He didn't anymore, but he had majority of his 9th grade year... until about March or something, then he just sort of let it go, realizing she wasn't the same the person. Sometimes Seth had thought Summer liked him too, she would always give him hugs, and kiss him on the cheek. He always had wanted to kiss her, but he never got the chance. Instead in his sophomore year he started dating Anna Stern, and kissed her. He still thought Summer was beautiful. Seth shook his head.

"Just let it go." He said quietly to himself, and turned his music off.

Summer laid in her bed trying to fall back asleep, but she couldn't. She was so sick of being on this cruise, and having no one to talk too. She hadn't seen her dad more then twice since they'd been here, and the only person she even had that she could talk to was Seth, and like that was going to happen. He was a total loner, who dated weird girls who cut their hair all short, like that Anna girl. Summer wasn't sure if they were still dating, but she had heard about them from Trishden, who was cousins with Anna. Summer started thinking that maybe the only way to get through this vacation was to just befriend Seth for the time being, that way she'd be able to have someone her age to talk too.

Psh. Like that will happen. Summer thought.

With that, she got up and decided to take a shower. After her shower, she got ready for 'the day.' What kind of day is sitting around all time, avoiding someone? Summer blew her hair dry, and curled it. She put on some heavy eye make-up, since she wasn't in the best of spirts, or moods. She put on one of those jump suits, from Victoria's Secret. She pulled her back into a loose pony tail, and headed out into the main part of their room, and turned on the TV, and popped in "Uptown Girls." Seth walked out of his room, and went into the kitchen, and saw Summer on the couch curled up in a blanket, watching the movie, he'd never seen it. He walked up behind the couch.

"What movie his this?" He asked her.

Summer jumped a little, from being startled. "Uptown Girls." She answered quickly, and went back to watching the movie. Seth had never seen it, so he sad down on the other side of the couch, and started watching the movie. Summer sort of looked at him like he was crazy for actually sitting on the couch with her... but then she started to realize if she didn't want to go stir-crazy, she'd have to befriend Seth, or at least talk to him like he was a normal person, instead of yelling at him to turn his music down, or to stop drinking all the water bottles.

"It's a cute movie." Summer said, out of the blue.

She sort of caught Seth off-guard, since she only talked to him when she wanted something for herself.

"Oh, is it?" He asked, knowing she had just said it was.

"Yeah. I love it." She said, smiling at him, and then turning back to the TV screen.

Seth was pretty confused.
