I am finally back so I will start updating more frequently. And I would like to thank laurenereads7 for all of her wonderful reviews if it wasn't for her I wouldn't have kept this going.

Suze's POV

"I'm home!" I said happily in case, although it was rather doubtful- that anyone cared of my return.

But it seemed that no one was home. I sighed and then bounded up the stairs happily. It was surprising to find out that coffee with Paul actually wasn't that bad. He was very sweet and kind and he was actually funny also. I was happy which was surprising considering well Jesse… being out of my life.

A sudden wave of sadness crashed over me and threatened to pull me under – what had I done?!? I had given up the love of my life for this. I rushed into my room two steps at a time and pushed the door open and quickly scanned the room. But of course he wasn't there.

This is the right thing Suze- it wouldn't have worked anyway I said crashing to the bed with force. You couldn't keep kidding yourself – I mean what would we do? We couldn't do this forever I mean for one thing he was a ghost, even if his presence was anything but ghostly with his tall body full of unadulterated hotness. He could certainly get my blood pumping. I mean what would happen when he moved on? Exactly what is happening now- my heart would shatter into a million pieces.

And even if now all my heart wanted was Jesse – I had in the past wanted other things. And my mom would be so disappointed if she never saw me with a boyfriend, I couldn't do that to her – she deserved a daughter who went to prom and a daughter who didn't make weekly trips to the mission cemetery. And who had a personal friendship with her principal.

I wiped the tears from my eyes and sat up straight I went to the bathroom and reapplied my mascara and eyeliner. I couldn't have raccoon eyes – I wouldn't do this, I could get over him it wouldn't be that hard he was only Jesse. I felt a pang in my chest but ignored it.

Suddenly the phone rang shocking me out of my revelry – I took a breathe and answered it, trying to sound collected.

"Hello?" I answered.

"What do you think you are doing?" Someone shouted over a lot background. "Get your ass over here and stop moping around!"

I laughed "Cee I wasn't moping around I was doing my chemistry... grades are important you know." I said mockingly. I was suddenly in a way better mood.

"Simon you got to have a little fun. Meet us at the coffee clutch in 25 minutes, I am not taking no for an answer."

I laughed again and hung up the phone it was good to have friends on my side.

"Can I buy you a drink?" a very tall handsome guy asked me. He had green eyes and a beautiful smile on his perfect face.

I nodded. "Coffee please." I said with a smile – I couldn't help it he was just so gorgeous, not as gorgeous as Jesse but come on who was?

"You aren't here five minutes and you already have all the guys salivating over you. Jeez Simon." CeeCee said with an incredulous look on her face.

"Cee, one guy is not all the guys." I shouted to be heard over the loud music that was blasting.

"I am not just talking about one guy. Paul can't keep his eyes off you." She said with a sly grin.

I looked over at Paul a couple tables away- he saw me looking at him and he quickly averted his eyes and refocused on Kelly who was practically begging for his attention.

I didn't have time to respond before he was back.

"Hey. By the way I am David." he said giving me a hand to shake.

" I'm Suze and this is my friend Ceecee." I said pointing to CeeCee . she gave a small nod of acknowledgement and then went back to sipping her coffee.

" are you knew around here? Because I haven't seen you before." I asked.

"I moved from Chicago a week ago." He said.

"Oh that's cool it is nice to meet you." I said lightly.

" Believe me it is very nice to meet you Suze." He said with a meaningful smile.

I blushed furiously- maybe this whole dating thing wouldn't be that bad.

Paul's POV

She breaks up with Rico and now she is all over this guy when she wouldn't give me the time of day? I didn't count on competition from some guy who thinks he is so slick. I was in the zone. And I am not going to let some hot shot take Suze away from me.

What do you think?? Review!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
