"I'm on her radar Oats!" Seth shouted at his lifeless plastic horse. " Do you think I should ask her about Tahiti?" Seth looked at his horse holding him close to his ears.
" Yeah that's what I thought too buddy.. We shouldn't rush into things" Seth beamed. He just could not wipe off the huge grin he'd had on his face ever since his Summer confrontation. Seth gently set the Captain down back on his bed and began to sort through clothes to wear tonight.
Even Sandy and Kirsten had noticed their son's surprisingly good mood.
Seth ran down the stairs joining his parents in the kitchen.
"So…You seem pretty out of your element tonight son" Sandy started as he continued to look through the take out containers.
Kirsten handed Seth a plate then finished Sandy's original question. "How was your day honey?" She still loved treating him like a baby. There was a time in Seth's life where he and his mother were extremely close, and he'd tell her everything. From his Summer sadness to his bullying problems.
" Why thank you mother…father. And as a matter a fact I'm having an even better day now that I know mom didn't cook." Seth teased. Sandy let out a small laugh, trying desperately to hide it from Kirsten.
" Ha Ha! It's just a laugh riot in here." She deadpanned. " So anyways getting to the point, how are you Seth?"
" This is the greatest day of my life!" Seth beamed with confidence " Summer Roberts. The Summer Roberts laughed at my witty comment. And to top it all off, she even blushed!"
Sandy just looked at Kirsten with a serious look, which was quickly gone. They couldn't help but smile as they saw their son ramble on and on about his day. This was so rare to see him openly talk about his life.
Meanwhile Seth was munching on his dinner at and increased speed
" Well now if you'll excuse me, I have to go get ready for my rendezvous with destiny!" And with that he sprinted up to his room. He had never in his life been so excited about a Newport party. He needed to be mentally prepared if he was going to attempt to even open his mouth in the presence of Summer Roberts.

Summer decided to head over to Marissa's early than usual. For some unknown reason she felt the need to look stunning tonight for this typical party. She figured it had to be because she was finally getting her dream date with Brad
"Coop!" She yelled into the house, slightly taking a look around Cooper home.
"Up here Sum!" Marissa hollered right back.
"Oh hey how's it going Coop? You seemed to be in a better mood today" Summer said as she examined her room. There was no sign of alcohol so that was an improvement.
" Well it's going great, that's how it's going!" Marissa explained, sarcasm evident in her voice. " I will be better after tonight. That stupid ass-hat Luke moved on and I think he's dating Holly now"
Summer couldn't bear to see her best friend in such a bad mood. She motioned for Marissa to come over and she hugged her in a warm and comforting embrace.
" Well there's no better time than tonight to get over Luke" Summer exclaimed, trying to cheer up Marissa was harder than she thought. " There will be plenty of hot guys for us to scope out" she nudged her causing Marissa to show a slight smile.
"Yeah I guess your right"
"Of course I'm right!" She proudly explained "Now will you help me pick out something to wear, I wanna look real good for Brad tonight"
"Sure I will" Marissa hinted with pleading eyes " Does that mean a trip to South Coast is required?"
"Your damn right it is" Summer squealed as the girls headed out.

" What if she doesn't notice me… What if she's still with Brad, although it seemed clear that they had no connection… not the type that me and her had in the 1 minute time frame right buddy?" Seth pleaded hopefully. Oh great now he was rambling. He only rambled when he was extremely nervous. That would explain why no one at Harbor could ever make out a damn word he said.
After spending nearly an hour deciding what to wear, Seth eventually just wore his chuck taylors, a pair of dark khaki pants and a vintage tee.
" I look exactly the same as I always do." Seth pouted to himself. He now felt like crap. If he was going to get noticed, he knew he had to be something extraordinary for Summer to even glance at him.
He was glad that he was old enough to drive himself, because he felt the need for further prepping which involved the sounds of his Death Cab for Cutie CD.

It took him about 20 minutes to finally get to Holly's, even though it was only a 10 minute walk. He stepped out of his car and was immediately greeted by…you guessed it …nobody. His head was spinning all over the place to even recognize the rejection he received from the Harbor students
It killed him that Summer had this affect on him. She made him get clammy and sweaty without ever acknowledging his existence. She made his heart skip beats and his stomach turn.
He slowly nonchalantly made his way over to the coolers where it was alcohol galore
He grabbed himself a beer even though he'd promised his parents he wouldn't drink. But he couldn't help it. He needed to shake his emotions of being at his first party and possibly engaging in his first conversation with Summer where it didn't lead to a beating.
Just then he heard a car door slam shut and heard some giggling. Then his eyes came across the most beautiful thing he'd ever seen……
Seth's POV OH. MY. GOD…She looked stunning. Once I think she couldn't be any more beautiful, she proves me wrong for what seemed like the billionth time. I smiled as I saw her blushing in her pink dress. That hugged every single curve on her body perfectly. She must've felt out of place being the only one formally dressed up but did that really matter? When she looked like that?!?! I just love how she wears those giant high heels. All I can do is laugh as he tries to make herself appear taller. I know she has insecurities about her height and feels that she shouldn't show anyone her flaws. But that's what attracted me to her in the first place.Maybe if I'm lucky she'll see me staring in awe and come talk to me…. A boy can dream can't he?
Summer's POVDamn it. Where the hell is Brad. He's not even here to react to my dress, which by the way, I spent 2 hours to pick. All I get his nerdboy over there drooling like madman. Arrgh when I find him I'll define all whole new meaning to " rage blackouts" This was supposed to be the one day where I would feel soo appreciated and I get shunned by everyone at the party except for the Ass-hat over there who won't stop staring at me. It's kinda starting to freak me out a bit. Although how could anyone be afraid of him when he's shows off those cute dimples….Stop it Summer! Cut it out now! Stick to your original plan and go unleash a rage blackout on Brad
It's been nearly 1 hour and I still haven't found Brad. I'm starting to get worried… That kid is still adoring me from afar. Maybe I should go talk to him.
Seth's POV
Oh god. She's heading this way. Cool it Seth! Its just Summer. Your Summer. The one person who you'd die for before you let anything bad happen to her. She looks so gorgeous even though I can tell she's angry. It's probably about Brad. That Idiot. He's too stupid enough to realize what he's got.
Snap out of Seth. Here she comes.. Brace yourself now.
11111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111
Summer began making her way towards the boy who had been adoring her from afar, after running into a few friends along the way. She finally reached him then she realized Brad standing behind the proclaimed "Harbor Queer"
1111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111
Here's your shot. Just go for it.
"H-Hi Summer…" Seth blushed. He hated being weak around her. But he couldn't help it.
"Seth Cohen" blurted Seth as he stuck out his hand.
"EWW Who are you?" She teased. She couldn't bare to notice his once joyful and happy face turned to pure sadness within minutes.
Though it was evil teasing, Seth felt like a million daggers were stabbing his heart. He used to think that this girl was just putting on an act so that she wouldn't be lonely. He used to think that beneath her bitchy exterior, was a smart, confident, funny and all around good person. He felt his heart shatter in seconds.
111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111
Summer made her way over to Brad and some of the water polo team. She walked up to join them
"Summer! There you are baby" Brad gave her a quick peck on the lips then continued "What the hell were you doing with Queer boy down there?"
" I don't know what the hell his problem is….. I mean EWW Random!" Summer exclaimed. Then the rest of the crowd joined in with laughter.
11111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111
Seth felt like all eyes were on him and just their stares were torture enough.
He had his heart shattered in half by the girl he once thought was just misunderstood
1111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111
By now everyone was enjoying the sight of a weeping Seth Cohen on the verge of tears. The water polo players already were bullying him to their fullest and the night was not even over.
Summer felt like horrible. She looked around her. Everywhere she looked she saw laughter and teasing. All in the direction of the sweetest kid she'd ever met. He didn't deserve this. It was all her fault. She couldn't bare to see him just sitting on the ground, on his knees in tears. She couldn't take much more of it so she grabbed Brad and dragged him out toward the beach. Her eyes were now filled with tears
11111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111
He had never thought that in a million years he could be this broken. This torn apart all because of that petite brunette. When she shunned him earlier, she did more than provoke laughter and teasing in everyone else..But she also destroyed probably one of the most sweetest, kindest and most down-to-earth guy in Newport. And she knew it.
A/N: AHH that was reaall long. I kno it got cheesy at the end but it just came into my head so I decided to write down what was in my head lol…its lame!:p please r/r anyway
