A/N: THANX TO EVERYONE WHO REVIEWS! YAY FOR YOU! LOL!
IMPORTANT:
I'd just like to say something about the whole Jesse saying he liked Suze and all that……Well he did not really say anything about being in love with her or anything ok! Remember that! He just said she was the only one he was interested in! So in later chapters if Suze is all doubtful about Jesse loving her don't be all like "BUT JESSE SAID HE LOVED HER!" ok? Cause he didn't say he did…….yet. lol! ^_^!
Oh and Suze and Jesse only kissed a couple times, nothing heavy….no tongue, no make outishness! Lol! With Jesse being all gentlemen and all he'd never take advantage of her……….yet! lol, that just sounded wrong!! I have to stop saying yet, it sounds bad. (o.O)
Second Chance
I just gapped at Keri with my mouth hanging open—kind of like a fish out of water.
I was looking at an exact double of myself—from the top of my chestnut mane, to the bottom of my Prada slides—and I was totally incapable of speech.
Keri noticed my shock and said in a voice that I knew all too well, "So Suze, How do I look?" Just to show how real this nightmare was, Keri gave her hair—or should I said my hair—a little toss and did a pirouette.
Seeing myself from somewhere other then a mirror, like everybody else, was extremely weird. And I was looking pretty fine that morning, if I do say so myself.
"How did you do that!?" was the first question that popped out of my mouth. I know, not the most intelligent question at the time, but I was still getting over the shock! I mean, how would you like seeing your exact double in front of you!…..that question does not apply to identical twins.
"Oh, turn into you?" Keri asked, like the dumb blonde she was.
"No," I said sarcastically, "The pirouette." It was odd how in extreme situations like this I could still have my witty senses of humor.
"I used my stone," she said, "No Duh." Ok that was pushing it, I'm allowed to make fun of people, not the other way around.
"You can't expect this to work!" I said exasperatedly, "I mean, people are going to notice when there are two of me running around!"
"I'm not that stupid," she giggled, "I made the spell so that nobody can see or hear you. See, so technically, there's only one of you."
This was not going the way I had planned. "Y-y-you can't do that!" I stuttered stupidly.
"Don't you think it's ironic," She said, totally ignoring me, "That you are one of the rare people who can see ghosts and now you practically are one?"
This is just great. How am I suppose to be a mediator when I'm a ghost? Does this mean I have to mediate myself? And what about Jesse? I'm not about to let him fall into the evil clutches of this imposter. And what kind of things is she going to do in my body!? I don't even want to think about some of the horrible things that she could do to ruin my reputation.
But before I could voice any of my fears, Keri left the bathroom. I followed her out, I mean, what else could I do? Nobody could see or hear me, so I guessed my best bet was just to follow Keri around and make sure she didn't ruin my life too much.
Right from the beginning I knew Keri was going to ruin my once normal reputation—besides all the sticky situations I've been in due to my mediator job. It wasn't that she was making me look like an idiot in front of the school, it was that she was making me look like her! I'm serious, by the way she walked—swinging her hips—or my hips to be precise—she was making me look like a skank!
And I was totally dumbstruck when the first thing she did when she came out of the bathroom, was walk right up to the table where Kelly, Debbie and all the other popular cheerleaders were sitting and was like "Hi! Can I sit with you guys. I was totally crazy to be friends with freaks like CeeCee and Adam and I want to change my loserish ways."
My mouth hung open—even though no one could see—and I yelled, "What do you think your doing?!"
And of course the only one who could hear me was Keri, and all she did was send a discrete smirk in my direction.
I guess the people sitting around the table thought that her words were sincere enough, because they let her—or me—sit with them. And after a while it seemed that she had been allowed into their clique.
That's all I had to do? I'm mean, all these years all I had to do to be popular was dump my "freak" friends? Not that I would ever, in all my life, dump my friends just to be popular. I think that's sick that somebody would do that and I really felt like punching Keri for dissing my friends like that.
I sat there for a while glaring at Keri, there wasn't much else to do. I never knew being invisible would be so boring, I mean what could I do?
Well, there was the fact that when you're invisible you could sneak peeks at say……people in the shower—namely Jesse—but that kind thing was a little to perverted for my tastes.
So I kind of wandered around, making sure to stay close to Keri at all times, just in case. I could have maybe popped in to see what Jesse does while I'm not around. But since I wasn't actually a ghost and I couldn't materialize anywhere, I would have had to run home and I didn't want to leave Keri alone for that long.
The whole day went by extremely slowly, and I followed Keri around practically the whole time just to make sure she didn't do anything stupid. And she didn't really do anything all that stupid. Maybe to everyone else I seemed a little more perky and idiotic then normal but I don't think anyone really noticed. Well maybe except for CeeCee, since Keri was totally giving her the cold shoulder all day. And I was feeling really bad for CeeCee. I mean, she probably thought she had done something horrible and I was mad at her.
It wasn't until after school that I remembered that Jesse was picking me up. I didn't want to tell Keri that he was coming because maybe he would be late and she would just leave before he showed up and then he'd be mad at Keri—thinking she was me—and never talk to her when she got home and then she wouldn't be able to seduce him………….or he would show up and he would like Keri more then me and would never notice that it wasn't me. I was hoping for the first one but, of course, I knew the latter would be the reality.
I was really starting to worry by the end of the day. I mean, what if Jesse didn't notice that I was acting odd? What if he never realized it wasn't actually me? And what if Keri wouldn't give me my body back? What if I never got my body back and I was alone for the rest of my life?
To Be Continued……..
