Thanks to anyone reading this and anyone who's reviewing. In fact I'm going to thank you lurvely reviewers now!

Alenor: Yes it is update time! Indeedy! Don't die! This is especially so you don't die, it could be messy, who would clean you up? Thanks for reviewing, here is a new chapter for you!

Gatorchick007: Don't get too excited! I nearly had a heart attack with all your capitals! Calm down, calm down! Thanks for your title suggestion, it's good but I was thinking of just not having a title, I think "Can't think of a title" is quite good really. Thanks for reviewing my little thingumy bob!

Hmm, that is it. But I think ppl didn't know it was here so sorry 'bout that!

Luv from Lor-lor

I knew it would be interesting right from the start. I mean let's think about this shall we? Why would Jesse's first day at school be interesting? Well...

1) Jesse has never been to school before, well modern school. He doesn't have much of an idea of how it works. It's very different to what he's used to.

2) Jesse has just kind of appeared out of nowhere. But we had that pretty much figured with the 'he's an exchange student from Spain' thing. But it didn't exactly stop people going 'Since when did we have an exchange program?'

3) Jesse is the hottest friggin' guy like EVER! So naturally he was going to be surrounded by girls. Even if he does stick very faithfully to his girlfriend, who gets very jealous it turns out.

I'd arranged to meet Jesse outside the building, lucky him, he didn't have to move anywhere to get to school. Wish I could do that; I could sleep until about half an hour before homeroom and then quickly get ready. But then again, living practically in a school, not really my idea of fun.

Anyway so I just about managed to hop into the car before everyone left, well what else is new? I was so excited about Jesse coming to school I was bouncing up and down on my seat, getting weird looks from Doc and causing Dopey to go "What's up with you? Did you get to second base with your little boyfriend?" I would have punched him had he not been driving, but I decided I'd rather not crash. But I did tell him that Jesse was anything but little (not in that way you pervs! Eww), what I didn't tell him was that we had actually got to second base over the weekend. Like I was going to share that with him.

When we got to the mission I spotted Jesse right away, it wasn't exactly hard, I'll tell you why in a sec, and he looked like he was in need of some rescuing. He was quite literally surrounded in a swarm of girls, all of them trying to talk to him at once. I could see Cee (hehe, see Cee, hey Cee-Cee!) trying to get them to back off but to no avail (A/N: I like that word, avail!).

I ran up to the crowd, pushing my way through, earning a couple of "Hey!"s and a few "We saw him first!"s. I finally reached Jesse, he looked so helpless, the poor thing. But hot as ever, jeans that fit him in all the right place, navy blue t-shirt, leather jacket and a pair of Converse All Stars (A/N: I want some!).

The first thing Jesse said to me was "Susannah, save me!" He sounded really desperate, I don't blame him, it was a bit much for his first day, and he hadn't even got his schedule yet.

I knew just what to do though to save him. I pulled his head down and planted a huge kiss right on his lips. He kissed back immediately and I could feel everyone's eyes on us. Mainly me though. I pulled back and he smiled at me.

"Good morning, querida."

"Morning, Jesse."

I could hear everyone whispering, in fact some of them didn't even bother to whisper. It was all "He's dating her?" and stuff like that. Then in amongst all the bitter and twisted things coming from Debbie and Kelly etc. I heard "Woo! Go Suze!"

I scanned the crowd of people who had gathered (who knew me and Jesse were so interesting?) and finally spotted who had made the comment. I should have guessed. Adam. Who else?

Jesse put his arm around my waist and I had my hand in the back pocket of is jeans as we walked towards Adam and Cee-Cee. They looked so cute, Adam had his arms round Cee and she was practically glowing.

"Aww, you look so cute!" Cee said about us what I was thinking about them, "Nice save, Suze. You almost had a dead boyfriend there. Er...again."

"We look cute? What about you?" I narrowed my eyes at them, pretending to be suspicious.

"You are so weird."

"Suze! And the cowboy."

I turned round to see this huge slimey thing in front of me, all dripping with er...slime. Well, it was Paul but there's not much difference.

"Paul. How nice to see you again. Oh no wait, not nice, what's the word I'm looking for? Oh yes! There's several actually, revolting, disgusting, puke-worthy, take your pick, there's plenty more."

He merely blinked at me. Well that was wasted. He could have reacted a bit more than that.

"So, de Silva, no longer a dead cowboy then? Just a cowboy."

"Slater," Jesse growled, not literally, but you get my gist, "If you know what's best for you you'll stay away from Susannah."

"Oh right, it's the whole 'come near her and I'll beat you to a bloody pulp' thing again. Been there, done that, got the broken nose. Several times."

I almost laughed at that. A little modified version of the 'been there, done that, got the t-shirt' thing. Then I remembered that I hate Paul more than anything in the world, even if he is a really good kisser. So needless to say, I did not laugh.

"Bye Paul." Was all I said before we all walked away. We went to get Jesse's schedule, he's a senior so we didn't have many classes together but we did have like two. (A/N: Do they mix the different grades sometimes? I wouldn't know, I have never been to the US so I don't have a clue but in this story they do, so there!)

We had our first lesson together, History. Mr Walden very nearly told Jesse to sit next to Paul, but then I rescued him by seating him next to me and making Adam sit next to Paul. He wasn't too happy as this made him as far away from Cee-Cee as possible. I noticed that Jesse actually paid attention to the lesson. I should have guessed he would, I would have liked to talk to him but he was buried in his work the whole time. But he made up for it by holding my hand under the table.

By lunch Jesse had a lot to talk about. He loves to learn, I knew that already from all the books he had read before he was alive, and he still reads those heavy books now. I think what he like best though was being a TA in one of the Spanish classes, the only thing he didn't like about it was that it just happened to be Brad's class.

I was having a great lunch with my two best friends and my boyfriend, despite the fact that everyone, well all the girls (and some boys seeing as the attention was being drawn away from them), was still whispering at Jesse and drooling over him (this was just the girls, there could've been a couple of guys in there but I wouldn't know). That is until Paul came along, for the second time that day; can't this guy leave me alone?

"Suzie, so will you be coming to your lesson tonight?" He sat down next to me, indicating that he wasn't just walking by.

"No." Did he really think I would come? I mean, duh, Jesse is alive. He can't touch him.

"Thought you might say that. And seeing as dead boy here is, well no longer dead boy you probably think I have no way to force you to come."

"Damn straight."

"Well you're wrong." Huh? "I happen to know another ghost, whom you are very close to. So close you have almost a father-daughter relationship. What am I saying almost? That's exactly your relationship with him."

This left me with my mouth hanging open, my jaw was practically on the floor. Surely not even Paul would stoop that low?

"You wouldn't dare."

"Oh but I would. See you tonight Suze, my house at seven."

And then he was gone. Leaving us all in a shocked silence. Adam was the first to speak.

"Uh, Suze? He didn't mean what I think he meant did he?"

"It depends what you think he meant."

"That, uh he was going to you know, um exorcise your dad."

"Yep, that's the one. He isn't seriously going to do it is he? He was just bluffing right?" Then I kinda burst into tears. Which is weird for me because I don't do it that often. Jesse wrapped his arms round me and comforted me.

"Shhh, querida. It's alright. Let's go and see Father Dominic about this." Jesse seems to think that everything can be solved by going to see Father Dom. The thing is though, half the time he's right.

So that's exactly what we did, we went to see Father D.

"Perhaps Susannah you can get him to move on by himself before then." Well that was a stupid thing to say.

"He hasn't moved on so far and you expect me to get him to go before seven tonight?"

I thought he had realised how stupid his idea had been but then he said, "Just try it Susannah." But he did give us the afternoon off, which was cool.

We went back to my house, I was kind of depressed, I mean if I couldn't get my dad to move on by seven tonight then he'd be exorcised. And no matter what happened I was never going to see him again.

I flopped down on my bed and Jesse sat down next to me. If I was going to be mediating my dad I'd have to call him. Before though he hardly ever came when I called him, so I was really hoping he'd come this time.

"Dad!" I called him in my mind, nothing. Perhaps I'd better do it out loud to make sure he hears me.

"Daddy! I need you!" Nada, zilch. "He's not coming, Jesse." I was going to start crying again, twice in one day, that is so not good.

That's when I noticed the piece of paper on the window seat. A got off the bed and picked it up, it was a note. From my dad. It read:

Dear Susannah,

I wanted to say goodbye in person but I thought it might be easier if I slipped away quietly. I was here to watch over you but you have someone else to do that now (look after her Jesse or I might be forced to come back from the dead too). If you were wondering I do approve of Jesse and I'm sure your mum will like him too. Stay out of trouble, have a happy life. I love you very much.

All my love,

Dad

Needless to say I was crying after I'd finished reading. He'd left, without saying goodbye properly, I'm not sure if he was right, but maybe it is easier this way. I lay on my bed, crying, with Jesse's arms around me. We must have fallen asleep because the next thing I heard was the front door slamming and Sleepy, Dopey and Doc talking downstairs. Which meant soon I'd have to go downstairs and introduce Jesse to everyone.

A/N: There you go! It's not too long and it took a while but I have to give you something. I am really stuck on chapter 9 of Angel Face, but I'm going to try and work on it. Please review, I will be eternally grateful!
