Susannah Simon, the one and only love of my life. And she despised me. Not know I existed was one thing; but hating me and being her sworn enemy? That was another story. I just couldn't understand why she likes a dead ghost better than me.
And I don't mean to be bigheaded or anything, but I am one of the most good-looking and popular kids in her school. I'm not going to deny it. It's a fact. But I just can't believe that the one girl I had to fall for – out of the billions of girls in the world – the one who hated me the most. And not only that, but because she likes some dead dude that was living two hundred years ago. Pathetic, really.
I mean, what did I do to her? When we went to that huge place with all those doors, I knew she could get in and out of it. And she claims I almost killed her. She must have a really low opinion of me to think that I'm stupid enough to let her – the person I love the most – almost get killed. And this romance with Mr. De Silva, here? Not going to happen. Not if I can help it.
Not only will I lose my Suze to some dumb ghost, but she'll also have to end her life with her heart broken because Jesse's going to live forever, and he's still young and all that. Then he'll stay around having the next Susannah Simon fall in love with him, while her handsome, living, loving, supposed enemy, Paul Slater loves her more than Jesse ever will. And I will do everything – and I mean everything – I can with my power to get rid of Jesse.
Now I ask: why me? Why did I have to fall in love with Susannah Simon? Why not some other girl who would love me back forever and ever?
They were definitely not joking when they said that life isn't fair.
