Chap.4
Seth just stared at her, completely dumbfounded. She had that familiar grin of knowledge of everything that had happened so far in Seth's life, even though she had no idea.
"Uh, hi. Who are you?" Taylor demanded in her usual perky way, breaking the silence with a look of aggravation.
"Only Anna Stern; serial winner of Jenga and mastermind of all things Yamazuka," she replied with smug look.
She still has the quick comebacks, Seth thought and smiled to himself.
Anna turned her attention back to Seth, who still looked taken aback, bless him. "Well are you just gonna stand there? Or are you going to give me a welcome-back hug?" she asked with a hand on her hip.
Seth snapped himself out of the self-paralysis.
"Uh…um-yeah, of course," Seth replied awkwardly. He stepped forward and Anna grabbed him in a bear hug with a small laugh when he didn't seem sure what to do.
"I can't believe you're back," a still shocked Seth said whilst hugging her. Anna had left three years ago to go back to Pittsburgh, after deciding she had had enough of Orange County, and frankly who could blame her? To come back to Seth declaring his love for Summer Roberts on top of a coffee table-cart in front of the whole school was somehow not Anna's idea of blossoming relationship between herself and Seth. She had walked out of his life at the Newport Beach Airport, with Seth awkwardly walking along side her, trying desperately to change her mind with silly memories of Captain Oats and comic book store Mondays, but it was all in vain…and now she was back.
Seth finally pulled away from her to ask, "What are you doing here? I mean, I didn't expect to see you back here in Orange County…I thought you had left for good…"
"Well, its kind of a long story… but it can wait. Right now I'm just glad to have met up with you again," She then turned her attention to the now quite annoyed Taylor who was looking quite unimpressed with the new arrival.
"I'm sorry, we didn't get to know each other properly, you are?…" Anna trailed off, doing her best to be her usual polite self. For some reason she just wasn't getting a good vibe from this girl.
She obviously wasn't liking Anna very much at the moment.
"I'm Taylor Townsend," she replied icily.
"Oh, well…nice to meet you," Anna said back with a fake smile. She extended her hand, hoping for a handshake to break the ice, but instead Taylor looked up and started to talk to Seth.
"Well, I'm gonna go now. My work is done and I'm pretty tired, so I'll see you in school tomorrow, ok Seth?" She deliberately ignored Anna and walked past them both back in to the hall.
"Uh…sorry Anna, I don't know what that was all about," Seth said apologetically.
"That's ok."
Then Seth suddenly remembered something that confused (along with shocking him) earlier, "how did you know she was interested in me?" Seth was referring to the 'stalker' bit.
"You're forgetting this is Orange County. Word gets around faster than Spongebob Squarepants when he's hyper from jellyfishing," Anna replied with an amused smile.
"Ah, yes lovely Newport Beach….where would we be without its friendly lack of privacy or respect for other people's business?" Seth asked with a smile.
Anna laughed at the last comment. Good to see his sarcasm is still there, she thought to herself.
"Anna?"
Seth and Anna both turned around to face Summer Roberts standing in the door way of Harbour High, with a very shocked look on her face.
