Surfing Days

Chapter Twenty-One

Summer Danvers

Phoebe and I look at each other, surprised.

"Yeah, okay, Cody, I get your point, but don't forget how you compared me to Savannah." Brittany says, and it was obvious she was trying to hold back the anger in her voice, and then she pauses, probably listening to what Cody was saying. "So you're saying that....... Okay, sure. Well I've got to go." Brittany says, and Phoebe and I quickly walk in casually. Brittany turns to us.

"Chip?" I ask as I hand Brittany the bowl. She takes it, and starts eating some.

"So who was it?" Phoebe asks, sitting on my bed.

"Cody." Brittany replies.

"What did he say?" I ask and I grab a beanbag, and sit on it.

"He said how he was sorry, and that he made a huge mistake, all that stuff." Brittany says. "And he also said that he dated Savannah because he wanted to grab the chance of being known as the boyfriend of Savannah Williams' because she was really popular and yeah. And he said that he only said that Savannah was hotter to win her over or something. It's really stupid. He's stupid. I just can't believe he did this, and expect me to get back with him. Ugh. I hate this situation!"

"But what did you say?" Phoebe asks.

"I just said okay, and stuff, and yeah. I don't know what I'm going to do."

"Maybe you should talk to him in person." I suggest. "You know... To sort things out. Like at least make things clear so you know where each other stands."

"Maybe." Brittany says.

"Camera rolling.... And action!" Adam shouts.

"And yeah, that's how me and Kaya got to know each other." I say to Sean. We're still filming the scene of the party, it's taking longer than expected, Adam's words.

"Oh, really? Interesting." Sean says, leaning against the tabletop of the kitchen.

"How about you two? How did you two meet?" I ask, and a long silence follows, as in the script, and Sean speaks up.

"We used to go out." He says finally.

"Oh."

"And then we just didn't feel it, you know, we felt more like friends than girlfriend and boyfriend." Sean says.

"Oh. Right."

"So we broke up, and since then she's been trying to hook me up with a girl." Sean concludes, eyeing me.

"Oh, I hope you find a girl for you soon, Austin." I say.

"And cut! Nice job guys, I think we should change the lighting before we do the next scene, so talk amongst yourselves." Adam says and Sean and I just stand there, waiting.

"So.... We might as well talk." Sean speaks up.

"I guess." I say. This is the first time I've talked to him since our little moment on set last time. And it's been awkward ever since. Another silence follows, and I just look around set, not knowing what else to do.

"Listen, Summer, about last time, I, I don't know. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to make it awkward. I-I just...." He sighs. "I'm sorry." I just stand there, looking at him, not saying anything. He looks intently back, and sighs. "Summer, can we forget that it ever happened? And act like nothing happened? Please?" I look at him, and our eyes lock.

"We can forget it, but Sean, I have a boyfriend, and, I don't know, it just gets even more awkward between us, and it wouldn't be fair on my boyfriend. I can't imagine him doing anything like that with another girl."

I just hoped I was right.

Sorry for the short chapter, but I think you guys need a break to face what's coming up in the next couple of chapters, it gets intense.
And by the way, I'm not going to do a chapter on their school prom, but it has happened. It would've happened after this chapter but I decided that I wasn't going to write a chapter about the prom.
This chapter was dedicated to @awesomegirlygamer who has also started to follow me recently! Thanks so much!
