Chapter 2
I awoke the next day, as if nothing had happened. Thankfully it was Wednesday, and a half day. It was some weird holiday that we got off for. Don't ask me what because I have no idea. Being me, a searched for clothes to wear to school. With all the clothes I have, I could find absolutely nothing I wanted to wear. I finally decided on a JS Collections Women's Black Chiffon Multi-layer Skirt, JS Collections Women's Ottoman Top with Satin Piping colored rose and Mia Lindell Women's Sandal in black. (A/N: If you don't know what they are don't worry I didn't either until I went searching for clothes for the story. I probably wont do this for every outfit but it was fun looking up) As I ran downstairs, I took one last look at the window, hoping that Jesse would be there but I knew better than that.
"DUDE, look at that! There's smoke coming from the school!"
Okay, WHAT?!? That snapped me out of my trance, that I usually am in going to school. Looking out the front window in of the car, you could definitely see the smoke pouring out of the roofs of the Mission. Sleepy tossed the phone to Doc.
"Call mom and dad and tell them what's up. I'm going to see if there is school today for ya'll today."
Okay, there is smoke coming from the school and all he can think about is if there is school? What about Father Dom and the other people who live there. Wondering why Sleepy's driving? He's out of school for the summer, that bum. Soon enough though, the car was stopped by others trying to see if there was school. As soon as we came to an almost stop, I unbuckled myself, grabbed my bag and hightailed it out of the car.
"Now where does she think she's going?" Dopey asked to anyone who cared.
The response to that? To see if I could help Father Dom in any way. Thankfully when I got there, everyone was outside and safe. And not surprisingly, CeeCee was there taking pictures and interviewing the priest and nuns, for the newspaper no less.
"Susannah! What are you doing here? I know why Ms. Webb is but you should not be here."
Smiling I turned around, who else but Father Dom. You could tell that he was not ready, if anyone could be ready, for this fire to come. The smell of smoke could be smelt of him for a couple feet away. His hair was a mess and one could know that it wasn't combed at all that morning.
"Happy to see you too, Father Dom. Do you what made this smoke thing occur?"
"Susannah, that's just not smoke, there is a fire in there and so far with the damage that has occurred so far, classes will be cancelled for the rest of the week. Thankfully all of the finals have been taken so if is decided that there will be no school for the rest of the school year, everything is okay."
"Is there anyone inside? Why isn't the fire department here yet? How did the fire occur?"
Shaking his head, Father Dom began. "So many questions so little time. Susannah the fire department has already been here for 30 minutes, they are just on the other side of the school. No, no one is inside the building, I personally checked." Ah! So that's why he smells like smoke so bad! "And it happened because of a squirrel knocking over a candle that a novice had left out. The novice will not be punished because there were other people present and they could have done something."
I was about to say something when I heard Sleepy call from the car, "SUZE, IF YOU DON'T GET IN THE CAR NOW, WE'RE GOING TO LEAVE YOU HERE" Saying good- bye to Father Dom & ran over to CeeCee, who was done with her interviewing and picture taking.
"Hey Cee, need a ride?"
"Sure that'd be great! I was going to wait until my mom came but I'll call her and tell her otherwise."
Walking over to the car, CeeCee flipped out a cell phone and told her mom what was going to go on.
"Aw... come on Suze, You could have asked before you invited a friend to come."
CeeCee and I were back in the car, with Dopey and of course he had to open his big mouth.
"Brad, would you have said yes if I had asked?"
Before he could answer, I did for him. "No didn't think so."
CeeCee tried to hold back a laugh but was failing horribly. Thankfully it was a quick drive home. As soon as we got there both CeeCee and I ran up to my room. Glancing around before I let CeeCee in, I sighed. Where was he? I was going to- no I need to forget it. Jesse did tell me he didn't know when he would be back, so I can't be mad that he isn't back yet. I just want him back, ya know? But who knows when.
"What was up with your brother back there?" CeeCee said as she came into my room, dumping her bag near the door.
"No idea he's a bit of a moron if you ask me."
"Well yea that goes without saying." The both of us laughed and plopped ourselves onto my bed.
"So..." CeeCee began, turning around to face me. "What's going on with you and Jesse?" (A/N: Remember this is right before her 18th b-day so... yea)
I tried not to blush or show any emotion at all because Jesse's a very sore subject at the moment. "Well I haven't seen much of him recently because he's away doing something."
"Away doing something? Come off it Simon, he's a..." She had to take a deep breath before she continued. I still think that it's hard for CeeCee to believe what's going on. "ghost. Couldn't he just pop up and say hi every so often? And what could he be doing? I mean he's a ghost for crying out loud? What is there to do?"
To be truthful, I couldn't tell her. Jesse never told me what he was doing, all I knew was that every time the subject came up, Jesse had a smile on his face and would try, and succeed, to avoid the topic.
"Don't know really. Hey do you want to do something? Everyone's probably out, except for Doc, doing whatever. We have the whole house to ourselves."
Getting an evil grin on her face, CeeCee looked at me and only said three words that would terrify me later on. Those three words? Are you sure you want to know? Okay they were: CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES. Innocent I know, but not when two teenage girls are making them from scratch. It spells danger for anyone who even thinks of eating them. But that wasn't what we were worried about, so as soon as CeeCee said those words, we raced downstairs and grabbed all the ingredients to make the cookies.
Entering the kitchen, I pulled my mom's cookbook off the shelf and started to turn the pages. 'chocolate chip cookies where are you?' I said to myself.
"Here it is, page 406." Turning to the page I began to read off ingredients to CeeCee. "1 and ¼ cup flour, ½ cup brown sugar, ½ cup butter, ¼ cup sugar, 1 egg, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, ½ teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon salt, 1 6-ounce of chocolate chips... better make that 10 ounces, ½ cup walnuts. Do we want walnuts, (A/N: I DO! () na.. take too much time to chop." (A/N: ( lol ) Looking at what was laid out, which was about half, CeeCee and I decided to improvise.
"Lets see," CeeCee started to pick over what she wanted to substitute for the missing ingredients. "We don't have any sugar or baking soda, which is fine, well just add the ¼ cup of sugar to the ½ cup of brown sugar and instead of using baking soda, we'll use baking powder."
I looked at her uneasily, "You sure about that Cee?"
She shrugged, "What harm could it do?"
Without another doubt in our minds, we began to make the cookies. It was fun, and there was an um... little flour war you could say. We were both so covered in flour that we looked like twins.
"Suze, you should see your self in the mirror!" CeeCee said from where she was laying on the floor, "You look like me!"
Smiling, I got and looked in at my reflection in the mirror. "Yea I do! But that doesn't mean Adam will start to like me now."
"He better not! That boy... I don't know why we still put up with him!"
"That's because..." before I could finish, CeeCee cut me off.
"Suze... you're treading on thin ice now...."
I laughed, CeeCee still hadn't gotten over her thing for Adam. Little did she know that Adam's been telling me stuff that she'd love to know about. The pain of being stuck in the middle, it was wonderful. So there we were, sitting on the kitchen floor covered in flour waiting for the cookies to be cooked.
"Suze, you know with the fire at the Mission today?"
"Yea what about it?"
"Well, um... I don't know if you'll believe me but um... last night, when I was sleeping, I had a dream about fire spreading though out the school. It kind of spooked me this morning when it actually occurred. What do you think it means?"
"I find it spooky but shouldn't you be asking your aunt about this? I mean yea I can see ghost and all but she the physic. Oh! Maybe you have some of her powers!"
"As if! I'd rather not!" CeeCee collected some more flour and threw it at me. Being dust, it never touched me and if it did, well no one could tell.
"Well what I find weird is that last night I was having a dream about the school but with no fire. I think it was my birthday."
As I begun to think about last night, I remembered. The Necklace!
"Cee, I'll be right back! Watch the cookies and make sure they don't burn!"
"Sure but where are you going?"
"Up to my room, I forgot something." I ran out of the kitchen and up the stairs, two at a time. I tried to remember the night before. Oso and necklace... 'Where did I put it?' There I noticed it and the note on the nightstand next to the bed. Picking both up I ran downstairs back into the kitchen.
"What was all that about, Suze?"
"This..." I showed her the necklace and the note.
"Oh my... Where'd you get such a thing? And more importantly, Who's it from?!?"
"I got it last night, from some weird guy named Oso."
"Oso? Isn't that Spanish for bear?" CeeCee unlike my self took Spanish instead of French. Hum... might need to start taking lessons from a certain friend. So anyways we both started to look over the note.
*********************************************************************
Sorry, I would have written more but something came up making me leave my second home, called the computer. Don't tell me I'm the only one. Lol anyways stay tuned for the next chapter: What's in the note? Where's Jessie? Where's Paul? What are CeeCee and Suze going to do for the rest of the week? And most importantly: WHEN WILL THE COOKIES BE DONE AND ARE THEY OKAY WITH THE DIFFERENT INGREDIENTS?!?!?
