Oh Susie Q
Rifiuto: Non Miriena
Summary: What if Maggie was Susie reincarnated? When she and Zack start a relationship-and share a kiss- she remembers everything that happened back in '55, including the accident that caused her death. Will she be able to have a new normal life as Maggie, or will the memories of Susie cloud her future with Zack?
She switched the walkman off and placed it in her locker. She'd never been much into the new music of her generation- bubblegum pop and boy bands, girl groups in revealing outfits and grunge. She preferred the old stuff- the Mamas and Papas, Diana Ross and the Supremes, Buddy Holly, Elvis. But her favorite singer was Dale Hawkins. The irony in that statement- she only liked one song, "Susie Q."
She could never understand why it was just that one song and none of his other works. It just was.
"Hey Mags. How was your first class?"
She looked back to see Deena slip past in an effort to get to her locker.
"It was okay." She replied.
"Okay? Who'd you have?"
"Ketlar."
"Ouch, Ketlar's tough. If you looked up bitch in the dictionary, her photograph would be under it." The two turned, to see a girl with her thick dark hair in a braid stop at the locker two down.
"Hey Evie."
"So besides dealing with the she-bitch, how else was your day?" She shrugged and slammed her locker shut. The three moved away from the lockers and stood in the middle of the hallway as she began to speak, killing time before their next class.
"... and then some guy gives me the wrong directions and I end up in the boys' locker room. Can you believe that? Oh God, so terrible."
"Probably a senior." Evie nodded.
"They like to do that- especially with the new cute ones."
She rolled her eyes. "I mean talk about embarrassing. My first day at school and I've already made a complete fool of myself." She shook her head. "Jeepers."
"Jeepers?" She turned at the soft male voice. Her eyes landed on a boy not much older than herself. He was cute- slightly long dark hair, startling dark eyes, and a mouth that looked kissable- wait, why was she thinking about his mouth? She'd never even seen this boy before. Instead of trying to think of something long and boring to say- like she'd been doing all morning, she opted for the easiest route. She gave him a quick smile and said,
"Hi. I'm Maggie."
