Jet Lag
The flight was a little dreary leaving everyone a little tired. Joey dropped off Seth and Ryan to the Cohen's and then dropped off Marissa and Summer to Pacey's. "Okay you guys you going be okay tonight?" She said. "Yeah Summer is gonna stay because it's okay with her dad" Marissa said.
"Good at least you'll have company" Joey said. "So I guess I'll see you at school" Marissa said grabbing her bag. "Yeah bye girls" Joey said with a smile. "Bye" They said walking up the front steps. When they went in they dropped their bags on the floor and crashed on the couch. "I don't think I've ever been so tired in my life" Summer said.
"Me either" Marissa said. "Nice to be home" Summer said. "Yeah it is" She said. "You okay Coop?" Summer said. "I'm okay" She said with a smile. "Good so what time is goofus and gallon coming over?" She said.
"Ryan and Seth will be over at seven" Marissa said. "Great that gives us a few hours to catch a nap" Summer said. "Sounds like a plan" Marissa said.
Marissa woke up to find that it was light out. She looked at the clock and started freaking out. "Oh my god Summer wake up" She said getting up. "What Coop did they get here?" She said rubbing her eyes. "No but morning did" Marissa said.
"What?" Summer said sitting up. "Summer it's 7 30 am" She said. "No way we were only taking a nap" Summer said. Marissa flashed the clock at Summer. "Yeah some long nap" Marissa said running towards her room. Summer followed her. "Okay so don't panic we got some time before school starts" Summer said.
Marissa pulled things from her closet. "Yeah like 30 minutes which also includes the ride to school" Marissa said. "Yeah so I should go grab some clothes" Summer said. "Help your self if you want I'm gonna change" She said running into the closet.
By the time Marissa got out of the bathroom Summer had managed to borrow one of her tops and matched it with a pair of her jeans with a pair of Marissa's sandals and she was actually dressed. "Wow you work well under pressure" Marissa said surprised.
"What can I say I used the bathroom down the hall" Summer said. Marissa grabbed a clip and tied her hair back into a some what messy pony tail. "So like what happened that the boys just didn't come over?" Summer said wondering. "I have no idea but we have to go before we get detention" Marissa said leaving the room summer trailing behind.
"Okay so do we pick the boys up?" Summer said grabbing her bag and following Marissa out the door. "No there probably already there" Marissa said getting in. "Well we got ten minutes" Summer said. Marissa pulled out and rushed towards school.
By the afternoon Marissa was feeling the jetlag after having to listen to Mr. Wyatt about being late she really wasn't having such a good day. She was just thankful that he didn't give her detention. She walked slowly towards her locker it was lunch so she could afford to be sluggish.
She brushed the hair from her face and opened her combination. "You look exhausted" Ryan said coming up beside her. She glared at him and threw her books in from her bag to her locker. "What's wrong?" Ryan said. "Nothing I just over slept this morning and I was kind of late" She said. "Did you get detention?" He said.
"No thank god" She said. "Summer wasn't so lucky" Ryan said. "What?" Marissa said. "Yeah Mr. Peterson sort of gave her detention" Ryan said. "Great this is all my fault maybe I should explain to him what happened" She said. "Not unless you want detention" Ryan said. She looked at him.
"Besides Seth got detention for being talkative in History so she won't be alone" Ryan said. She closed her locker. "So what happened to you guys?" She said. "Well I guess we crashed and never woke up I know we had plans I'm sorry" He said apologetically.
"No it's okay it's not like we would have been great company we took a nap that turned into morning" She said looking at him. He smiled. "Well at least you got to sleep right" Ryan said. She shrugged her shoulders.
"I just can't wait for this day to be over" She said tiredly. "Let's go to lunch" Ryan said. "I'm too tired to eat" Marissa said. "Well knowing that you were late means you didn't eat so you gotta eat come on" He said. "I'm too tired to argue" She said. He grabbed her hand. "Good" He said and she followed him.
They slowly made their way over to a table that Seth and Summer were actually sitting at. "Hey guys" Marissa said. "You sit down I'll go grab you something" Ryan said. "Thanks" Marissa said sitting down. Ryan walked off.
"So Coop did you get detention?" Summer said. "No but I'm sorry Ryan told me that Mr. Peters didn't have sympathy" She said. "No biggie it's not like it hasn't happened before" She said. "Yeah and I'll be there since Ms. Davidson isn't too kind on talkers in the class" Seth said. Summer looked at him.
"I thought you only talk to Ryan?" She said. "Well yeah but apparently talking without raising your hand is an outburst and apparently worth punishment" Seth said sarcastically. Marissa laughed.
"Wait a minute so you got detention for participating?" Marissa said amused. "Yes and thanks for the sympathy" Seth said looking at Marissa. "Whatever Cohen at least we'll be there together besides Mr. Blake does detention and you could basically talk as loud as you want and he couldn't hear a thing. They should really make him retire" Summer said. Seth shrugged.
"Well at least you get to go home you look tired" Seth said. Marissa glared. "Thanks for noticing" Marissa said sarcastically. "Seriously Coop you do look kind of tired" She said. "Sum you slept as long as me" She said. "Yeah but I feel like I'm wired" Summer said looking as if she was some how back to normal.
"Yeah I couldn't be more awake actually" Seth said. "I hate you" Marissa said joking. "Looks like jet lag over took you" Summer said. "Which means you're cranky like Ryan gets when he hasn't had enough sleep. Wow you know you guys really are a match" Seth said joking. "Shutup Cohen" Summer said.
Ryan came back over. He handed her an apple and a juice knowing she wasn't going to eat something big but at least it was something. He sat. "Thanks" She said tiredly. "Don't mess with Cooper she's cranky" Seth said teasing her. Ryan glared at him and Seth shut up.
"Okay how do you do that? Because Marissa gave him a similar look a few dozen times and he kept speaking" Summer said looking at Ryan. "It's a gift I guess" Ryan said shrugging his shoulders. "You guys want to do something later after detention of course?" Seth said. Ryan shrugged.
"I think I'm gonna just go home" Marissa said. "No Coop the way you fight jet lag is to wake up and be aware of your surroundings going home and sleeping more is just not gonna help" Summer said. "Okay but no activities to strenuous. I'm gonna get some coffee" she said kissing Ryan's cheek and heading off to the coffee cart.
"Poor Coop" Summer said. "Yeah she's not used to flying I guess" Seth said. "Gee Cohen you don't miss a thing" Summer said teasing him. Ryan looked on. "So what do you guys want to do?" Ryan said. "Well maybe it would be best to hang out at the house pizza movies, video games" Seth suggested.
"Sounds like a good idea I mean Marissa's to tired to do anything else" She said nodding in agreement. "Yeah so then it's a plan" He said. "Yep Cohen I'm gonna need a ride home from detention because obviously I came to school with Coop" Summer said.
"I came with Ryan" Seth said. "So you take the car and I'll go home with Marissa" Ryan said. She nodded. "Okay" Seth said. "Alright I'm gonna go find Marissa see you guys later" Ryan said. "Bye Ryan" They said. Summer looked at Seth. "So detention should be fun" She said sarcastically. He nodded.
Ryan found Marissa sitting in the lounge. "Hey" He said sitting next to her. "Sorry I bailed I just had to clear my head before the next class. I'm falling behind in trig as it is" Marissa said. "Not a problem. So you're in for tonight?" He said checking with her.
She smiled. "Of course" She said. "Great I'm gonna need a ride after school since Seth needs the car to drive Summer home after detention" Ryan said. "I'll tell you what you can drive" She said.
The bell rang. She stood up. "I'll see ya in Spanish" She said giving him a quick kiss. "Adios" He said with a smile. She laughed and walked off.
She rushed towards her locker switched books and headed off to math. Joey was walking in the hall. "Hey Marissa How's school going?" She said meeting up with her. "Well tiring to say the least I sort of overslept" She said looking at her. "The all too familiar jet lag gotcha" Joey said understanding.
"Well I gotta go before I'm late" She said. "Great umm you know maybe I'll stop by later bring you dinner" she said. "Thanks but I'm spending the night with Ryan" Marissa said knowing it sounded wrong. Joey looked at her nervously. "I mean I'm going to hang out with Ryan at the Cohen's Yeah Seth and Summer will also be there" she said nervously. "Okay well have fun" Joey said. The bell rang. "Great I'm late" She said.
She pulled a slip from her pocket. "And now it's excused" Joey said with a smile. "Thanks" Marissa said. "Have fun and don't stress out today you should feel like yourself tomorrow" She said. "Bye" Marissa said walking off to class.
