Hi! I'm fashionista_princess. (And no, I'm not conceded, much ;) lol) This is my first story, ever, so please be nice. I love to write, and this story has been in the works forever (Almost three years), but I've never really had the time. SO, without further ado, the story.

BTW, I have revised the chapter, and hopefully all of the mistakes from before are gone. Thank you for telling me about them, you know who you are.


Summary: What would have happened if Suze had never been a mediator, and she had never meet Jesse in California. When Suze gets the chance to go to Spain with her friends, she meets the hot and mysterious Jesse. But why is he being so mysterious, and why does everyone seem to know him.

Chapter One - The Winner

"And the winner is..."

I couldn't believe this. He was actually pausing for dramatic effect.

I should probably explain. Two days ago, at the Cafe , the owner had announced that they would be giving 3 tickets away in a raffle to Spain. Yeah that's right, Spain. As in Europe. To say that everyone in Carmel put their name in would be correct. Mom and Andy had put their name in. Even Mr. Walden, our history teacher. Sister Esternine was probably the only person that didn't put her name in.

That meant that the probability that i would win the tickets were very out there. And my mom told me that i was not very good in math.

As I was thinking this, I leaned into CeeCee's ear and told her "Not us."

As we both started to giggle, the owner said, "Susannah Simon."

I was just about to tell CeeCee I told you so, when I really heard what he said.

I couldn't believe it. Had I really won?

Suddenly all eyes were on me and I had to duck my head down in embarrassment. My mom came to my side and nudged me toward the makeshift stage that they had set up for the occasion. As I made my way to the stage, I saw that people were looking at me with jealousy and envy. I also heard people call out to me if I wanted anything to eat or drink. So this is how it would be until I left. With everybody trying to convince me to let them come with me.

Well that's just great.

I reached the stage and the owner pulled me up to give me a handshake. He congratulated me and then passed me the three tickets with a red ribbon tied around them, and all of a sudden everyone was cheering my name.

I was still shocked that it was me the one that won so I was only able to muster a quick thank you.

I went back to my seat and CeeCee started rambling on about how this was the best thing that had ever happened to us.

"I can't believe that you won the tickets. Do you what this means for us? We can do whatever we want, you, Adam, and I. This is just great! This will definatly bust up our popularity. Just think about all the parties that we will get invited to. Suze? Suze, are you even listening to what I'm telling you?"

That's when I turned to her and looked directly into her eyes and told her, "What makes you think that it will be you two the ones that go with me?"

Adam, who had been sitting in the sidelines throughout her speech, looked expectantly at me and asked, "What do you mean? I though it would be us that accompanied you to Spain."

I looked over at CeeCee and realized that she was looking very hurt and offended. Only them did I realized my mistake.

"Well, i was kinda thinking that maybe I could ask Gina to go with me." It sounded more like a question, but they were suddenly making me nervous, and I didn't like that. It wasn't like me.

Gina was my best friend from New York. We had remained in touch after my mom remarried and forced me to move with her to the west coast.

"Look," I said, "I know you two are my best friends, but I've known Gina longer, and I thought it would be best if she go with me. I was thinking that it be an all-girls trip. Gina, CeeCee, and I."

As I said this, CeeCee snaped her head up and cried out in excitement. But as I turned towards Adam, I saw that he had bowed his head in disappointment.

I touch his hand reassuringly and gave him a pointed look.

" I don't think my parents would be okay with a boy going with us anyway, sorry." And I was. I had grown close to Adam and CeeCee.

I could see that they both knew this to be true, but while Adam looked disappointed, CeeCee looked like she was about the explode with excitement.

Just as she was about to hearl herself at me, don't ask me how I knew that she would, I just knew, my mom came to my side and told me that it was time to go.

As my family was heading out, Kelly Prescott put herself in between us and the door.

"Hey there Suze, Brad, Jake," nodding to us in turn. She didn't even look at mom, Andy, or Doc.

"I just wanted to invite you guys to a party that I'm having this weekend. Hope to see you there," handing us each a pink envelope.

And just like that, she was gone.

As soon as she was out of hearing range, Brad started rambling about how awesome her parties were. He and Jake, Jake having woken up by all of the excitement, continued talking about her and her parties until we had reached the house.

It was my turn to help out Andy prepare dinner, but as I was taking out the burger buns, Brad suddenly appeared at my side, and took them out of my hands.

"Don't worry 'bout it Suze, I got it," he says, smiling down at me. He took the buns, and went outside to put them on the grill so they could toast a little. I just stood there, frozen in shook, wondering if I was missing something. Since when is Dopey nice to me?

That's when it clicked. The reason that Kelly had invited me to her party, and the reason that Dopey was nice to me all of a sudden.

They all wanted me to choose them to go with me to Spain. Well, this next month should be loads of fun.

Not.
