A day around town
Summer knocked on the bathroom door. "Come on Cohen hurry up there going to be here any minute" She said. "Okay, okay calm down Summer" he said slowly unlocking the door. "What did you bolt yourself in?" she said.
He opened the door. "Well it's kind of a rule to lock bathroom doors" Seth said coming out. "Whose rule yours?" She said sounding irritated. "Everyone's" He said.
The bell rang. "That's Coop and Atwood come on" She said dragging him down the stairs. By the time they got down the steps they saw Ryan sitting on the sofa. "Chino where's Coop?" Summer said. "Hey man" Seth said sitting down. "Hey, She's in the kitchen talking to Lily" He said. "Okay well I'm gonna go get her" She said leaving the room.
"Summer remember don't be rude" Seth said teasing her. She glared at him and left. Ryan laughed. "So how's Marissa doing?" He said. "She's better than yesterday? So how was it staying here?" He said. "It was alright Summer and I hung out for awhile" Seth said with a smile. "Really?" Ryan said somewhat surprised.
"We had to share the guest room but you know it was cool" He said. "Right so I take it you slept on the floor then?" Ryan said. "Yeah" Seth said sighing. With that they heard the girls enter the room.
"Hey you guys is it cool if Lily tags along?" Marissa said. Seth and Ryan turned to each other. "Yeah sure" They said. Lily smiled. "Great I'll just go tell mom we're going meet you guys out front" Lily said. They went outside and headed towards the car. Seth and Summer sat in the back with lily while Ryan drove and Marissa rode shot gun.
"By the way you guys you're not going home till tomorrow Pacey cleared it with your parents" Marissa said turning in the back to look at Seth and Summer. "That's awesome Coop" Summer said excited to be able to spend more time with Marissa. Seth smiled. "Okay so your gonna have to tell me where I'm going" Ryan said. Marissa laughed. "Just keep going straight and I'll tell you when to turn" She said.
Before they knew it they hit the parking lot. Ryan parked and turned off the ignition. They all got out. "Wow nice diner Coop it's not like the one back at home" She said. "You mean dingy" Seth said joking. She playfully hit him. "Thanks it's actually Mrs. Leery's" Marissa said. "So are you're like all one family?" Seth said. "No actually Lily and I aren't related. Dawson which is her brother has been best friends with Pacey and Joey since grade school" Marissa said. "So how does Jen fit into this?" Summer said.
"Jen moved here when they started High School and they've been friends ever since and now she's even going out with Dawson as well. Actually there's something I have to tell you" Lily said. They all sat in the both Lily across from Marissa. "What is it?" Marissa said flipping a few stray hairs over her shoulder.
"I got into Brown" Lily said. She slapped her five. "Oh my god that's great Lily" Marissa said obviously excited for her. "Yeah a few more months and I'm out of here" she said. "You don't sound like you like it here?" Seth said. "It's not that I just I had enough of the small town life. I am so ready to go to brown" Lily said with a smile.
"Wow so you're like a senior in High School?" Summer said. "Yeah at Cape side high it's no prep school but you know it's alright" She said teasing Marissa. "Hey I went to public school in Austin" Marissa said laughing. "Yeah and now you go to Harbor. So is that how you met these guys?" She said. The waitress came over dropping menus on the table. "Yeah we all go to Harbor" Marissa said.
"That's good at least you're making friends. So tell me all about California? I might have to visit sometime?" She said smiling. Marissa laughed and discussed what it was like back home which pretty much took the whole breakfast time out. When they got back to the house lily excused herself she had to go out with Gail. The boys where playing Pacey's playstation. Marissa went to look for Summer. She was on the porch. "Hey Sum I thought you were hiding" She said sitting next to her on the porch step. "No I've just been here" Summer said seeming sort of off to Marissa. "What's up Sum?" She said. "Are you going back to Austin?" Summer said rather abruptly looking at her. "Austin? Where would you get an idea like that?" She said with a laugh. "Well it's just I heard you talking to Lily and it's obvious that you miss it" Summer said.
"Sum I don't miss Austin and I'm not going to move there anytime soon. My home is in Orange County with Uncle Pacey and you guys. I could never leave now" Marissa said. Summer smiled. "Coop you're my best friend and I don't ever want you to leave us" She said. "Well I'm not going to be leaving anytime soon and when it comes time for college" She said. "We choose one close together" Summer said.
Marissa smiled. "Exactly. So what do you say we go do a little shopping in town?" She said. "What about Seth and Ryan?" She said. "They'll be at the game all day they won't even notice where gone" She said. "Okay let's go Coop" She said. "Great let me go grab my purse" Marissa said.
After a full afternoon of shopping Marissa and Summer returned home. "We're back" Marissa said closing the door behind them. "Yeah and we went shopping" Summer said dropping the bags to the floor.
"Hey guys" Joey said walking into the living room. "Hey. Where is everybody?" Marissa said. "Well Pacey and the boys went out to get a pizza about a half an hour ago" She said. "Oh, Okay so what about Gram?" Marissa said. "She's upstairs" Joey said. She turned to Summer. "I'm just gonna check on her" She said. "Sure go ahead Coop" Summer said. Marissa left them standing there.
