Chapter 16

Serena, wearing her white Dior sunglasses, with her head pounding, walked across the hotel lobby floor to where Seth, Summer and Nate were waiting for her. "Hey Serena," Summer greeted her with a warm, friendly smile.

"Hey Summer," Serena said with no emotion. Her head was pounded and she was sure that Nate, Summer, and Seth heard it too.

"Is everything OK?" Seth asked, "You seem a bit weary," he said, looking concerned.

"I drank 2 martinis, a cosmo, 3 shots, and a glass of wine. What do you think?" Serena asked them, sitting down in the empty chair.

"I think-" Seth began.

Summer cut him off, "He doesn't think," she said, elbowing him.

Serena felt like her head was heavier than the rest of her body. All she wanted to do was go to sleep. Nate looked at Serena, who was prompted up on her elbow, looking tired as ever. He leaned into her, as Seth and Summer were fighting and said, "Hey do you wanna go back to bed? You seem really tired."

"I'm fine, Nate, thanks for asking. I said I'd be here, and I am," she said.

"Ok," was all Nate said.

After the two lovebirds finally finished their argument, they headed out to the beach. It was a bright sunny day and Serena's eyes were killing her. She was so glad she had taken her sunglasses but wasn't glad that she didn't take Advil before leaving. As she laid in the sun with Summer, she asked her, "Hey Sum, do you have Advil or something?"

Summer sat up and rummaged through her purse, "Oh no, sorry Serena, I don't have any."

"Oh, okay thanks anyway." Serena said.

The boys came back from playing or trying to play volleyball with some other guys. "I told you that I wasn't good at sports," Seth said.

Nate grinned, "I don't agree. Well, you're bad at volleyball but I cannot agree on all of the other sports because I've never seen you play."

Summer laughed, "Don't worry, I can answer that one for you… He's horrible," she said.

Seth looked at Nate, "See? Even my own girlfriend agrees," he said. Then it hit him that Summer made fun of him, "hey!" he said to Summer, "That's so mean!"

Summer laughed and said, "Well, I only speak the truth."

Serena sighed as Seth and Summer began fighting over nothing, again. She stood up and mumbled to Nate that she was going back home. As she collected her things, and walked away, Nate ran after her. "Hey, wait up," he said.

Serena turned around, "What?" she said icily.

"What's your problem?" Nate asked.

"My problem? Why is everything my problem?" Serena raged, "Why does everyone think that I have a problem?! Well, guess what? I don't!" she turned around and walked away.

Nate just stood there, not understanding what just happened. Summer walked over to him and asked, "What's her deal?"

Nate sighed and answered, "Apparently, she doesn't have one," walking away with Summer back to their spot on the beach. As he sat down, he looked over to her small figure, getting smaller with every step she took. He sighed, and really thought to himself, 'What did I do?' but then it hit him… He had told her something yesterday after she kissed him. He sighed again and ran his fingers through his hair.

"Guys, I'm gonna have to go," Nate said, gathering his things.

Seth looked up from making a sandcastle in the sand, "What? Why?" he asked, sounding like a 3-year old.

"I forgot that I had to make an important phone call," mumbled Nate as he walked away.

Summer leaned over to Seth, "Couldn't he make his phone call here?" she asked.

Seth looked at her and shrugged as he went back to playing in the sand. Summer just glanced at Nate and thought that he was up to something.
