A/N Hello, well this is my very first fan fiction, and I must say, it is much harder to write a fiction than I thought it would be, but I will stick through and try and update as often as possible. I wasn't sure weather id post this or not, hmm … first of all, if anyone has any criticism, feel free to express your selves as "what doesn't kill me will only make me stronger (I hope) (but don't be to harsh lol its my first try), and please review, you don't know how exited I get when I see a review! So don't hesitate. I'm still a bit jumbled up on ideas, and what time this is placed (after what book and all), but I will let you know throughout the story, all I know is that it is before the sixth book: P … if you have any ideas for the story, I'd be happy to listen! But please read and review, hope you like it!

My name is Susannah Simon I am a mediator. I am a liaison between the living and the dead. In other words, I see dead people, like that kid off the six sense, only I'm not scared of them. I never really understood what I was until my father died and years later explained to me what my purpose was. I have to help dead spirits move on, they usually have some sort of mess they need cleaned up, like telling their family they love them, or returning something back to its rightful owner, but their the easy jobs. I live in California, with my mum, stepfather Andy, and three stepbrothers Doc (David), Dopey (Brad) and Sleepy (Jake). Oh … I should also mention the drop dead gorgeous guy living in my bedroom, Jesse, he's a ghost, and he's been here for about 150 years, lets just say, I hope he doesn't leave soon.

""""""

My alarm clock went off at 6 am. I didn't notice anything was different, I woke up, did my usual routine, took a shower ate breakfast brushed my teeth got ready for school. Everything was as usual. I was in the car with me stepbrothers, sleepy dopey and doc, retouching my make up in the car, ready to start a new year.

There I was, happily catching up with my, not realising that this would soon turn out to be the worst day of my life. Cee-cee and Adam were having a discussion about the best way a person would be able to change its identity and start a fresh life. That's when I saw him. He was the most hansom guy I had ever seen. He was so different to the Jesse I knew, he wasn't glowing, he wasn't floating, he was just there talking to people as if he was the king of the world, people could see him, people were actually talking and discussing jokes with him. He had so much life in his eyes, he also had a twinkle in it, on that I had never seen before, it was like he knew a secret about everyone, and was laughing at the foolishness he was seeing. I was so happy I didn't realise what this meant.

" Suze, hello… earth to Suze, are you listening?" but I wasn't listening I mean, how could I? I had just seen a ghost. No not a ghost, he was alive. Jesse De Silva was alive and attending Junipero Serra Catholic Academy But… how could this be, I mean, I would have known, he would have told me.

"What's wrong with her, she looks like she's seen a ghost." If only they knew…

"I see you have noticed him too," Kelly's comment snapped me back to reality. she could see him? "You can see him" I was dumbfounded, and numb, I couldn't believe it.

"Of course I can, he's new, he came from," but I didn't hear where he was from, all I heard was a buzzing in my ears, she can see him too, then I tuned back to her "he's hot isn't he, well look Suze, I just wanted to tell you something, I might as well do it now, I'm going to support someone else to be the student body vice president. Don't get mad or anything but, yeah, so meet your new future vice president, Jesse De Silva" this was just getting weirder and weirder, I didn't know what to say, not the part about the student body, but the fact that they could all see Jesse, my Jesse, he was alive. Tears were now threatening to pour out, I couldn't help it, I was just so happy. That's when Kelly's eyes were practically jumping out of her sockets, "look Suze we were great last year and all, but I just think, that we need someone new, I mean, I didn't know the position was so important to you" but I wasn't listening I just started walking towards him. He saw me, I noticed his eyes flick on me for just a second, but made no sign of recognising me, that's when I did it, I couldn't help it, it was like my body had a mind of its own, I just walked up to him and hugged him, I'm not sure of what I was actually doing, it all just happened, one moment I was walking up to him and a second later I was hugging him. Obviously he felt awkward, he made no indication of knowing me.

"Jesse, you... how!" I didn't get it I seriously didn't get it, even thought everyone was staring at me as if I was crazy, the problem still didn't process through my brain.

"Umm have we met?" his eyes, his beautiful, brown intelligent eyes gave it away, he didn't know who I was, he didn't remember me. That's when I thought maybe this wasn't Jesse maybe it was just a look alike that just happened to have the same name, I mean that would be more reasonable than it actually being the real thing, the only way I knew a person could come back from the dead, was using soul transference which means u suck someone else's soul out and replace it with the one you want, that's when it clicked, Paul Slater, I had to find him if anyone knew what was happening it had to be him. "I'm sorry," I couldn't help but ad a bit of sarcasm in it, I mean that just isn't fair, tears were now running down my face, and I had just lost a huge amount of self respect in just one day, "I thought you were Diego." ok I know that was stupid but it was the first name that sprung into my head, I have to get out of here and find Paul. " Wait a minute!" he had his hand on my wrist now "you called me Jesse, not Diego," ok I was I'm in big trouble now; a crowd had formed around us. Everyone was eagerly waiting for an answer. "Well, you see Diego's, nickname is Jesse, now I'm really sorry to leave like this, but I have to go, buh bye!" and I slowly and conceitedly walked away, ok maybe not, I kinda started running, I mean you would too, if you just saw your dead boyfriend come to life, in your school, and have no idea of who you are. Now I just have to find Paul, but I have no chance of doing so now, as sister Ernestine was issuing everyone into his or her lines, for the start of year speech. "Ok I guess this could be a good chance to look for Paul in the crowd". Adam and Cee-Cee were talking and from time to time throwing me a worried glance. "I think she's really depressed about loosing her position as vice president, and so she should be, Kelly has no right, I mean, who knows what freak that Jesse dude could be." I'm sure they didn't mean for me to hear, but still, even thought they were defending me, their comment hurt, I mean no one is allowed to talk that way about my Jesse. Suddenly sister Ernestine's voice echoed through the assembly, I noticed that father Dominic wasn't to be seen. "With a new year comes the chance to learn new and exiting things, also the chance to make new friends, and reacquaint with people we love, also I would like to welcome all the new students, and welcome back all the old students." This is where I tuned out, and started searching the crowd for Paul, I didn't see him anywhere, suddenly something snapped me back to sister, Now, father Dominic is not going to attend with us this year, but will be back next year, throughout his absence, I will be filling his position until his due date" oh no…Father Dominic and Paul isn't here, who else will I ask for help? The day dragged on, it was a complete waste I had to go home and think, better-said look for Jesse the nice Jesse… the one that remembers me. I was on my way out to the parking lot when I decide what I was going to do, I was going to go to Paul's house and see why he left me to deal with this alone. At least that's what I thought I was going to do, until a certain person walked up to me, lets just say that it isn't who I wished it would be, and I was suddenly looking for a way to run, this person was scary, but I was so sure he wouldn't bother me, anymore….

"Well, well, well, what do we have here, if it isn't Susannah Simon, thought you got rid of me didn't you, now, now you, shouldn't you have known better? Actually, I should have …"
