He was a classmate/friend of mine here in Hawaii b4 he moved across the country. Tho he prefers to b called Kale.
Charles isn't REALLY his name. I made that up. (BTW: Besides bein' a cabbage, Kale is a hawaiian name. He REALLY wanted me to emphasize this.)
[It's pronounced like KAH-LEH. Emphasize the E!!]
Dude's now an Internet butthea….buddy and beta person. He's gonna put his two-sense about his 'admirer' in here:

Killin' Me Softly-
Chapter 2: Interruptions
"Susannah," Jesse whispered, "querida, I …," he leaned even closer to me and I felt goose bumps going up my arm (Believe me there is NO such thing as too close when it comes to Jesse and me). He lowered his head and looked at my lips. I closed my eyes and moved closer as his hand closed over mine. This is it! This is it!
"Hey Suze! Dinner's ready!"
Jesse pulled back as Sleepy (or Jake), another one of my stepbrothers came up the stairs. Jesse looked away from me and ducked his head. Then he vanished.
I looked at my stepbrother and narrowed my eyes at him. He looked at me like, 'What?' What? What do ya mean WHAT? I'm a second away from a major lip-lock session with a Greek God and my stepbrother interrupts me?! I wanted to deck him so badly. I was so close! SO CLOSE! I mean, what's a girl gotta do to get felt up, get privacy or SOMETHING?
That was it?! I was so sure he'd do something very interesting! I mean since that whole I've-got-a-hottie-'living'-in-my-room thing. Well, plenty of time for planning. I groaned and fell back onto the bed.
*****************************************
"I really believe that you SHOULD be happy for her Susannah," Father Dominic said with exasperation. I frowned and jumped up.
"Come on Father D! I mean they've only been married for three months and they're already expecting a baby!! What's wrong with this picture? And they've already got like, 4 OTHER kids!"
I flicked the little sticky hand that I'd gotten from the bottom drawer labeled 'DISCARDED ITEMS'. Father Dom flinched when the hand stuck to the picture frame of Jesus behind him [ooh, bad suze]. My hand covered Jesus' face now, so to speak. I flicked it back and caught the hand.
(AN: Y'know those FUN little hand thingiez? The little toy wit the hand at the end?)
[maybe...wut about 'em?]
(That's what she was holdin'!)
"Susannah, I do wish you would stop that!" he whined.
Should I stop? Nah. I flicked it again and it grabbed a paper off the desk. Father Dominic grabbed for the paper and missed. I flicked it again and the priest caught the hand. He gave a tug and the finger loop went flying across the room to whap the priest in the forehead.
He stared at me like he'd rather pick his nose. Father Dom put his finger into the loop and wriggled it. The hand jumped up and then down. He held the hand and threw it at my cheek. SPLAT! Judging by the newly collected handprint on my cheek Father Dom was getting into it.
"Susannah, I'll talk to you later," he murmured staring at the hand with interest.
****************************************
I'm proud to say that I have never had a ghost that has ignored me. Normally the moment they'd see me they'd talk to me or in some cases serenade me at night with a scream. Nice...real nice. Until now. Okay, here's the thing. Ghosts are like ordinary people except for the whole being dead issue. [really? never woulda known...]
So when I walked into the yard and saw the girl my age standing near my door looking at me, I expected her to start talking to me or SOMETHIN'. I mean this is where I live, right? She wouldn't be here without a reason, would she? But I walked right up the steps and the girl didn't even do a thing!
"Hey, buddy! You need somethin'?" I called out to her.
She didn't say anything, she just gave me a dirty look and disappeared. This was really turning out to be a crappy week. Except for that whole part when Jesse and I were about to make out. And instinctively, I knew that things weren't really going to get any better.
When I walked through the door everything was quiet. I felt myself go tense. I expected some freak to jump outta the closet and lay his dirty mitts on me. It was then that I freaked out. Every Mediator instinct in me was screaming, 'Something's going to happen. Something big.' Then something I totally didn't expect happen.
My mom called out from the kitchen, "Suzie? Sweetie, is that you?" No, it's the friggin' boogey man. What's going on? She walked out of the kitchen pretty much glowing. No joke. I swear, if my mom were a light bulb then I woulda gone blind. Something was totally up.
"Suzie, guess what? Your new brother's here! He just got here!" I blinked. She gave birth already? I mean she didn't even get a belly yet. Oh wait...unless this baby was an adopted one.
"Where is he?" I was a little happier. I could handle this. Adopted, I could accept. I thought I could. Until a tall guy with bright green eyes, ivory skin and chestnut hair poked his head out of the kitchen.
"You're Susannah? Hi, I'm Neal." he said amiably and gave me a dazzling smile. He looked like he was around my age, maybe older. My jaw dropped to the ground. No way. THIS was my new brother?!
