Prologue

A/N: Hi there everybody! So, I am back! So, this fanfiction is dedicated to the K and the M in my pen name, as always. And this chapter is specially dedicated to M since it's her birthday today! So happy birthday M! I hope you'll like this! :)
Anyway, this is my first Mediator fanfiction, so constructive criticism is welcome. And…..well that's it I guess. Read, review and have fun!

OK, so this story is AU. And….here we present the first chapter of-

Oh, before that:
Disclaimer: I don't own the Mediator series. The wonderful Meg Cabot does.

And, now…this is it everyone! The first chapter of..."Love always wins"!

Suze's POV

I sighed. This was the last period of the day, and I couldn't wait for school to get over. I looked across the classroom and observed my biggest crush, Hector de Silva(everybody called hi Jesse, though). He was the high school hottie, and all the girls in the school ran after him all the time as expected. Top of the class, captain of the football team, what else did you want? Oh and superb looks. Oh he was so cute! Listening to what Mr. Walden was saying, utmost concentration on his face….. Snap out of it Suze! That guy will never go for you! The most handsome, most richest (oh did I mention that? Yeah, Jesse is also like a millionaire. His father's like this huge businessman of the country and all), and most popular boy of school will never even notice people like you-the class freak, with the extraordinary ability to see dead people. Yes, you heard me right! I can see, hear and even touch ghosts. Which, at times is a handy ability, since I can meet and talk to my dad, who died a few years back, but at other times, it's a huge-and I mean HUGE-pain. I mean, how would you like being surrounded by ghosts, asking for your help, 24 hours a day?! Anyway, back to my current situation. My unrequited love for Jesse de Silva. I-

"Suze!" hissed my best friend CeeCee Webb. "Pay attention!"

I looked up and saw Mr. Walden looking at me expectantly. Oh God, he'd just asked me a question!

"I am sorry Mr. Walden. But what did you say?" I said, sheepishly. I heard a few snickers behind me. Mr. Walden sighed.

"Ms. Simon, I- never mind. Class dismissed."

Everybody jumped up, grabbed their things and ran out of the classroom. Except for Jesse and a few of his female fans. Figured.

Muttering a sorry to Mr. Walden I rushed out of the classroom with CeeCee.

"What the heck was wrong with you?" CeeCee demanded. "Dreaming of our favourite Jesse, were we?"

Blushing furiously, I whispered, "Shut up! He'll hear you."

"Yeah, well that will be difficult, considering the number of fan girls around him, buzzing like bees." Said CeeCee dryly.

"Yeah, well whatever, CeeCee!"
CeeCee stared at me for a moment. "You've really got it bad, haven't you?" she asked me, looking at me sympathetically.

I sighed. "CeeCee, I just... This isn't a normal crush. I really do like him! I like who he is, and what's inside him, more than the outside! Unlike, a certain Ms Prescott who just wants him 'cos he's hot and rich. He really is a sweet guy!"

"I know." Said CeeCee softly. "But, no offence, I don't think he even knows you exist. I mean, sure, he's not like the other jocks around, but you haven't made yourself known to him. Really. And yes, even with having all classes together with him. And also, the one time that he told you what happened in class because Mr Walden told him to, doesn't count. Even if he was super-nice. "

I opened my mouth to argue, but then closed it, knowing she was right. "Well, at least one of us got our dream guys. Speaking of dream guys, here comes Adam."

Sure enough, Adam McTavish, my other best friend and CeeCee's best friend/long time-crush-turned-boyfriend, was striding towards us. "Hey ladies," he said, giving CeeCee a quick peck and turning towards me. "Ready to go?" We nodded and started outside the school. And, that was the day that I finally realised that Jesse would never be mine. I had to accept it and face reality. But fate works in odd ways, as I would soon find out.
