DISCLAIMER: I own nothing so don't sue me because there's really nothing you can take away.
Hi I'm glad you( the few people that reviewed) liked the start, I was a little worried but it turned out to be good (according to said people) I'm glad you liked summer's new friends, now don't worry Seth will come in his own time and I gotta say I got a mistake, I was lying and living a lie, see I'm Mexican and I had an idea of American school system because of TV but thanks(huge thanks) to ososxcseth i had to do the actual research to explain to her which grade summer was in since she is Australian, well I'm sorry summer isn't freshman like I thought, she is sophomore in America and 10th grader in Australia which means she is 15 years old turning 16 this same year(very soon), now to clear it up, Seth is in junior year American school system and 11th grader Australian school system, he's 17 just turned them and Ryan its about the same, Marissa is done with high school, she's 18 turning 19 this year and taking time off. Ok I hope that clears up any misunderstanding I could have caused I'm really sorry for the inconvenience if you have any more questions don't doubt asking them, turns out I can learn from your questions too.
Now this chapter is all about summer and Marissa being friends again but its leading somewhere, don't worry people its juts the second chapter and we're getting closer, now I confused a lot of people in "the lousy beginning of a great story" and I apologize for it but I cant say I wont do it again, its messy I know but that's the beauty about it, also remember I said this was going to be told by a narrator well this narrator its not only gonna tell the story he is also going to drop some comments you will find this way, they are the narrator thoughts if some of you remember I used some quotes in my first fic and some people asked me if they were thoughts well here's the answer to that.I'm sorry if I'm messing with your head but that's just the way it has to be.
Hi again, last time we met summer and Marissa saw each other again after two years(almost two years) they agreed to met by the pier around 6 and they did, and to summer's surprise it wasn't awkward or boring she actually cared about all Marissa said and enjoyed the catching up.
Now they were walking down beach eating some ice cream, it was a little windy but summer thinks that contrary to popular belief you can enjoy better ice cream when eating it in cold time or at night not when the sun is out and the ice cream is a mess because lest face it that's just "ew".
Summer: so you broke up with Ryan like a long time ago and you're dating a Luke guy
I know it's been two years but I wouldn't have though that would have change.
Marissa: none of us did
Summer: I mean yes you and Ryan where all about breaking up but it was never for real
Marissa: I know but some where down the road it was for real.
Summer: so when did that happen, I mean how long ago
Marissa: well, right after we stopped hanging out, see you know how Seth always did al he wanted with Ryan
Summer: yeah, I've always find that so pathetic
Marissa: so did I but I don't now exactly when he stopped but Ryan doesn't do that anymore now he can actually say no
Summer: well that's great it was about time but what does that have to do with you guys breaking up
Marissa: well back when we were a couple he was still Seth's puppet and Seth was still a good looking ass So if he ever wanted to go out with some girl but said girl needed a date for her friend Seth would call Ryan, knowing he couldn't because he was with me but Ryan being Ryan…
Summer: would lie to you and go anyway
Marissa: pretty much, and I new he was just there to help Seth but still I got sick of it and called it quit
Summer: well yeah you weren't going to put up with that
Marissa: I know and I did it mostly because, back then it was dates to the movies and stuff before we made plans but I know that If I had kept on next thing I know he would be cancelling on me to help Seth.
Summer: yeah
Marissa: he cared more about Seth well I let him free so he could be with Seth and I don't mean it in a gay way even though I've always wondered if they are a couple.
Summer: well I've got the answer to that; they are a couple but a couple of idiots
Marissa let out a laugh a genuine laugh and raised her hand to hi5 summer
Marissa: good one, funny and true
Summer: thanks
Marissa: what about you, any romantic interest in the past two years I should know of
Summer: not really
Marissa suddenly stopped which caused summer to turn around a couple of steps later when she noticed
Marissa: you're seriously telling me that in two years there hasn't been any guy? I'm sorry but it's a little hard to believe that even if we're talking about you,
Summer: why does everyone keeps saying that, I don't need a guy to be happy, I can make myself happy, just because I don't have a boyfriend doest mean that I'm gay, or weird it doesn't mean anything its not like rule to have one.
Marissa: sorry looks like I hit the nerve
Summer: no its okay its just that everyone keeps asking me that, at school even at home just everywhere I go they ask me "so do you have a boyfriend" and I'm like no and they tell me they cant believe it or look at me like I'm sick, sometimes they even say they're sorry or that its sad,
What's wrong with this people?
Marissa just laugh at summer, she hadn't changed a thing about the way she talked, how she was as expressive with her hands and her face when she was telling something as she was with her words, and summer was one of the most word expressive person Marissa knew.
By this point they had already started walking again and after summer outburst they had remain quiet for a couple of steps until Marissa spoke again
Marissa: it's not an obligation but it's the most common thing why do you have to go against everything that most of the people do?
Summer: huh?
Marissa: I mean the boyfriend thing, knowing you, you may not have one just because most girls do and people keep asking you why don't you have one, you're the most stubborn person I know you would do things just to be contrary.
Summer: oh that again, well first off I'm not gonna say I'm not stubborn because that would be like saying that I don't talk to much which we all now I do but I am not stubborn because of choice Its my nature I cant help it but I also don't give a shit about what people thing, I mean yes it matters because we live in a society and I cant ignore them and all that crap but you know that I base my decisions only in what I think.
Marissa: so you just don't want to have a boyfriend
Summer: it's not like that I do want a boyfriend just not now
Marissa: so it's like an age rule or something
Summer: not a rule but I m not interested in any serious relationship at least until I'm 18 maybe 17 but not now, its not that I don't want a boyfriend but I'm not looking for one either I just don't care about it, it will happen at its right time I'm good on my own right now.
Marissa: well but there must be someone you've liked or something I mean a girls got to eat
Summer laughed at Marissa but didn't said a thing
Marissa: oh come on I can see it just say it
Summer: ok there was this guy, his name is Chad and I've known him since I was like 12, he's friends with my cousin
Marissa: oh and what happened with Chad
Summer: well basically we where like friends with benefits but there weren't much benefits to enjoy, we did hocked up once but other than that it was juts hugging and holding hands at parties.
Marissa: and when was that
Summer: mm about a year ago but it was only for like two months and mostly when I was drunk but not enough to go any further.
Marissa: and since when do you drink
Summer: I've always have Marissa
Marissa looked at her bewildered
Summer: I mean I'm not an alcoholic or anything but I do like to have fun
Marissa: but you never drink when we were friends
Summer: yes I did but not with you, actually for that time I didn't drink much because we never went to parties
Marissa: but why didn't you ever mentioned that
Summer: well because you're all so close with your family and stuff, you rarely got to a party you all have like this non vice thing going on so I felt like I don't know, dirty to drink and smoke when you were all older than me.
Marissa: well we just… wait what? You smoke too
Summer: yup, but basically just on the weekends when I go out and I'm drinking
Marissa: wow you've changed a lot.
Summer: let's say I see things different now.
And that was it, she hadn't really changed she had grown, she was the same perky, clever, funny summer Marissa met almost 3 years ago but she had learn very valuable lessons trough her short life mostly in the last 4 years, its just that3 years ago the translation was in motion so you couldn't see the change, when people change(if we have a daily or constant treat with them) or when we change we don't notice while its happening we notice until we see the difference, I'm gonna put it like this, you don't notice you're growing up because you see yourself at the mirror everyday but you have to get new clothes because the old ones don't fit anymore, but if you where to spend a month, hell with just a week free of mirrors you'll be amazed at how different you look the next time you see your reflection in a mirror.
After that they walked for a while the said good bye because summer had promised to be at home for dinner around 8 and Marissa she had to meet with this Luke guy.
Just like last time Marissa has said she will call but now summer had no doubt she would, she was sure it wasn't a good bye like two years ago, it was a see
you later and she could live with that.
Mary: wow the day I never thought I would witness its here
Summer turned around, she had just gotten out of her car and had her purse in her hand where she was putting her car keys, and looked at Mary with a very confused face.
Mary: you're early, she said as a way of explanation
Summer juts rolled her eyes and started walking with Mary by her side
Summer: well by some weird reason I had not trouble getting out of bed so I had free time I was bored and came here earlier, don't be so dramatic its not like I'm always late.
Mary just stared at summer with some "yeah sure whatever you say" kind of look.
Summer: I'm not, I may not be early but I'm not late, I'm juts on time, being early it's a waste of time I could well spend sleeping.
Mary just shrugged and they kept walking in direction of a lunch table where they sat down
Summer: why are you always so early anyway?
Mary: because boys come early and they play football she said as if it was the most casual and reasonable thing and gave summer a duh look.
Summer: ah the boys, gotcha
For a while they stared at the boys until summer got bored and decide it was time for a little summer-Mary chat.
Summer: hey so remember this girl Marissa I told you about
Summers voice caused Mary to focus her attention in her.
Mary: the one you haven't talked too in two years
Summer: the one and only
Mary: what about her?
Summer: well yesterday she called me and we walked down the beach in the late afternoon you know catching up
Mary: oh how romantic with the sun fall and everything
Summer: shut up
Mary: so she just called you after two years and was like, "hey lets go for a walk"
Summer: well no, they day before yesterday I ran into her outside the store, I mean I literally ran into her so she help me up with my stuff and then we were talking but I had to go and she asked me if I wanted to catch up some other time and I was like sure but I never thought she would actually call me.
Mary: well if she wasn't going to why would she ask?
Summer: I thought It was one of those times you ran into someone you haven't seen in a while and you're like "we should met some other time" and they're like "that would be great" but you both know you're never going to see each other again.
Mary: well you could just have said no if you didn't wanted to go
Summer: that's the thing I did wanted to go and it was kind of fun actually
Mary: wasn't it weird after all that time you lose contact.
Summer: no it actually felt as if we picked up right where we left last time you know, like we never stopped hanging out.
Mary: well that's good I guess
Summer: yeah but I now Marissa and I'm sure its gonna be just like last time, we're gonna hang out for a while and everything's going to be great and then suddenly just like that we're not gonna speak to each other anymore.
Mary: you don't know that maybe this time things will be different I mean you've both grown up, you've changed plus you alredy went trough once and didn't worked just try to do it different this time.
When life gives you a second change you cant afford to make the same mistakes again.
Summer: I don't know I'm just gonna wait and see what happens
Mary: there's really nothing else you can do
Summer: yeah
Marissa: wait isn't she cousin of this Seth guy you told me about, the one you had like this great relation with, but at the same time there was nothing going on and you ended up almost hating him?
Summer: yup but I didn't almost ended up hating him I just don't like him and nothing really happened, there was nothing going on between us, he was just messing up with me, back then I was just getting into puberty and you know all the hormones and stuff, well I thought I liked him but now I know it was all in my head.
tomatoe tomato
Mary: but if you hang out with Marissa wont you have to hang out with him
Summer: maybe but I don't think so, Marissa is not dating his best friend anymore and even if I have to I'll just be polite and remain distant
Mary: this whole relationship you have with all of them, that's gonna be interesting
Summer: it always is.
Summer said nonchalantly and they both got up,( the bell just ringed indicating first period was about to start) but not without their daily morning welcome ritual.
Mary: another day, new day
Summer: and so it begins.
And with that they were off to class, Mary cheeking out any dude on her way and summer wondering what was going to happen next with Marissa and Seth but not really caring this time was going to be different at least for summer, there was no over thinking just living if it was fun the she would keep on with it if it wasn't she would just turn around and keep on going, it was as simple as that, there wasn't going to be any drama involved this time.
Yeah right like that was possible with Marissa, she's drama queen that's what she does and for better or for worse some things never change.
Ok that's the second chapter, tell me what you think anything its welcomed.
