The next day was a Monday and the first day back for Harbour students. Summer was over at Marissa's discussing what to wear and boys.
"Coop, my plan for today is find a new boyfriend I'm totally done with guys like Cohen, I need some one new some one smarter, cuter and not a little whinger like Cohen, I need some one like Jason Clarke", Summer announced fiddling through clothes.
"What, the captain of the water polo team", Marissa asked.
"Yeah, I mean he's like Newport's prince William".
"Well I guess he is cute", Marissa announced, "and I mean he has always had a crush on you.
"I know, anyways what about you, you seem to be in a better mood after you went to Chino and saw Ryan".
"Yeah, it was just great to see how he and Theresa were", Marissa said.
"So was it weird being around him when he was with some one else", Summer asked.
"Oh no, not really anyway he and Theresa have been fighting a lot so I wouldn't say they were together", Marissa announced.
"Really", Summer asked and Marissa nodded her head, "wow, then if that is the case why is Ryan staying there", Summer asked confused.
"Because he's a good guy, he wants to do what's best for the baby", Marissa answered.
"Oh, ok, you know that's pretty sweet, he's stopping his own happiness just for that baby", Summer said.
"Yeah he is sweet and kind, gentle, forgiving", Marissa started.
"Ok Coop, you can stop there".
"Sorry", Marissa said.
"That's ok, is there anything you want to tell me", Summer asked.
"No why would there be".
"Because you're in a completely different mood to what you were yesterday", Summer announced.
"Look Sum yesterday I wasn't myself", Marissa admitted, "but now I'm over it so can we just go back to how everything was".
"Sure, so what are you going to wear", Summer asked still not convinced.
Meanwhile back at the Cohen's house Kirsten was listening to Seth's message.
"Hey mum, dad I just wanted to let you know that today I played my first Water Polo game. You don't have to believe me if you don't want to but it's true. Anyway call me when you get back from wherever you are. Love you. Bye". When it finished she stood there staring out the window until Sandy walked into the kitchen.
"Hey, what are you doing", he asked.
"Nothing", she said while leaving the kitchen.
Sandy followed her outside and said.
"Kirsten, what do you want me to do, I tried".
"You told him he could stay", she announced.
"I didn't know what else to do", Sandy admitted, "Kirsten he's going to come home just give him time".
"I'm tired of waiting", she said starting to cry.
"I know, so am I", Sandy said trying to give his wife a comforting hug but she pulled away.
"I have to go to the office there's some papers I need to pick up for tomorrow can you call Seth back for me, thanks", she said while wiping her tears away an then she left.
Sandy picked up the phone and dialed the number.
"Hello".
"Hey Seth it's dad".
"Hey dad, you got my message".
"Yeah I did".
"So do you believe it", Seth asked.
"Not really, I mean Seth Cohen playing Water Polo", Sandy started.
"I know pretty crazy huh", Seth finished.
"So is mum around I want to tell her all about it", Seth asked excitedly.
"No actually your mum's at work", Sandy answered.
"At work isn't it her day off", Seth asked confused.
"Yeah it is but she would rather be there than at home right now".
"Dad what's going on", Seth asked even more confused, "have you guys been fighting".
"Yeah, just a bit", Sandy admitted, "but nothing to worry about".
"Dad I'm so sorry, this is my fault", Seth announced feeling really guilty.
"No Seth, it's not your fault, it's mine anyway look I'm going to find a way to make it up to her so you have nothing to worry about", Sandy lied.
"Anyway I've gotta go I have an important meeting so", Sandy started.
"Yeah me too, but can you tell mum that I love her and get her to give me a call I haven't talked to her in ages".
"Yeah of course", Sandy said.
"Love you dad", Seth said.
"Love you to", Sandy replied just before hanging up.
Back at school Summer was too busy flirting with Jason that she didn't realize Marissa had took off.
"So do you want to go see a movie or something this weekend", Summer asked.
"Don't you have a boyfriend".
"What, oh you mean Cohen, yeah no that little bitch sailed away on a boat so no we aren't together any more", Summer announced.
"Alright then, after school tomorrow we could do something".
"Great", Summer said.
"I'll pick you up out front", he said and walked away.
Summer smiled at him and turned around to find Marissa not there.
"Coop, where did she go", Summer asked herself. She shrugged her shoulders and went to class.
