This is an A/U fic dealing with Summer and Jodie. Marissa and Alex may or may not be appearing in this fic depending on how it goes. The title of the story kind of deals with their friendship but not in a depressing way like the song, you'll get it later.

Don't Forget About Us
Prologue - Women
Summer Roberts, an average eighteen year-old girl from Newport, California, was making breakfast for her and her roommate/best friend, eighteen year-old Jodie Sanchez from Los Angeles, California. She hummed a tune to herself as she flipped a pancake onto the plate that was set out in front of her. After turning off the stove and putting the dirty dishes in the sink, Summer went to go get her friend.
"Jode!" She knocked a few times on Jodie's bedroom door before opening it and entering the room. Summer rolled her eyes as she saw a giant lump in the middle of the bed covered in blankets. She walked over to the lump and pulled off the covers. "Jodie, wake up." The other girl groaned as she kept her eyes closed while searching for the warmth that was just removed from her. "And I used to wonder why you don't have a girlfriend." The sarcastic comment caused Jodie to sit up and glare at Summer.
"I don't see you dating anyone, Miss Perfect." Summer smiled at the other girl as she sat down on her legs and threw her arms around her neck while hugging her.
"Aw, you know I'm just kidding. And, hey, I'm dating Ryan." Jodie scoffed at the mention of Summer's boyfriend, Ryan Atwood, tough guy from Chino.
"Like that counts, he is so gay." Summer rolled her eyes at Jodie's comment, being used to Jodie always making fun of her boyfriend.
"And you aren't?" Summer cocked an eyebrow and gave her friend a playful smile. Jodie returned the smile, but wore it more arrogantly.
"Hey, am I denying it?" Summer shook her head as she giggled slightly. "That's right." Jodie gave her another cocky grin which made Summer change the subject.
"ANYWAY, I made pancakes for us, so, go brush your teeth so you can join me for breakfast before I head off to class." She removed her arms from Jodie's neck as the other girl removed her hands from her waist.
"Yes, Mother." Jodie then sighed exaggeratedly, which earned a playful push from Summer as she got off of her lap.
"But hurry up, they're getting cold." Summer kissed Jodie's right cheek before running off to the kitchen. Jodie watched the other girl leave before leaning her head against the headboard behind her and blowing her hair up, away from her face.
"Women..." She smiled and sighed contentedly before heading to the bathroom.
