Killin' Me Softly:
Chapter 2: Surprise Surprise!
THIS was my new brother? Talk about unexpected! I was thinking my mom was going to go through baby routine again. Y'know how the whole house is kept awake by the new baby's nightly scream fest and mommy goes running down the hall in her bunny slippers? That baby routine. I was kinna relieved I didn't have to endure that.
I saw once he came out of the kitchen that he was tall, lean and muscular. He had bright green eyes, and nice chestnut hair. He smiled at me and held out his hand.
"Um…Hi! I'm Neal. You're Suze, right?"
"Yeah. Hi," I mumbled.
It was nice he was a new member to the family, but I felt uncomfortable. This guy was actually good looking, unlike the other 3 gorillas sniffing around the house.
"Hey Suzie. Why don't you show Neal around the house and get to know each other? Maybe talk together for a bit until your brothers get home," my mom said happily.
She sounded happy. Neal smiled agreeably. He looked happy too. I looked like someone had just dropped me into a bucket of water again. Let's just say that I was the 'lucky' candidate for the Dunkin' Machine one year at the school fair. Happy ending for the winner, though not for me.
I was nervous. What would we talk about? Would we be friends or would we have to beef over everything like snotty brats? Wait, why was I nervous?
I shrugged, "Fine, whatever. Come on Neal, I'll er…." show you the door if you mess with me, "show you around. Get to know you." Neal nodded and followed me hesitantly like I was gonna sit on him the moment he was out of my mother's eye range. Hey, if he did anything dumb I sure as hell WOULD, don't get me wrong!
So we sat down on the steps of the house together. None of us said anything. Go figure. Then Neal started to talk, "So…". Ooh statement of the day! "So how long have you guys been living here?"
We started to talk. About school, his life, about my stepbrothers and stepfather, and my life, a little more of his life, my life and my friends, and my life. Yup, he seemed interested in my life. I didn't know what the hell was so FACINATING about my life. I thought maybe the guy was tryin' to take it all in, y'know? So I shrugged it off.
Then a green bug pulled into the driveway with my two friends inside. For some of the more 'special' people out there, when I say 'bug' I mean the CAR. Those fricken' small cars they call beetles. Though it was a real nice car, which was my friend's, Andy's.
My friend CeeCee waved to me after she stepped out from the passenger's side, "Hey Suze! Who's you're friend?"
CeeCee's crush arched an eyebrow over to Neal, "Yeah, who's the ho-I mean, the dude? New boyfriend?" Andy said with a wink in my direction.
I rolled my eyes. Boyfriend? Please, hand me the barf bag. Brother + boyfriend: Bad combo. That was Andy for you. Count on him to point out the most unexpected things.
"Okay, whatever. This is my new stepbrother," I said and introduced everyone.
I noticed Adam paying special attention to Neal and wondered what was up. Well, fast forward a bit past the questions and flirting (courtesy of CeeCee) Adam and Cee had come by to ask if I wanted to hang. I gave them a negative, so they said their farewells and left.
Neal had asked me to show him the house. Again, I guess. So I showed him the bathroom and the rooms. Then mine.
He walked into the room and looked around. Jesse was sitting on the window seat reading next to Spike, his cat. He looked at Neal suspiciously, then at me. "Susannah, who is your friend?" he asked eyeing my soon-to-be-stepbrother.
"So your name is Susannah, right?" Neal asked me which caught me off guard. I did a double-take. "Er, yeah. It is." I replied. How'd he…? He pointed to a history test I'd pinned to the wall, which had my full name on it. Hey, it was my first B+! I was proud of myself! Gimme a break.
Then Neal looked out the window, toward Jesse. He looked at me expectantly. I gave him a puzzled look, "What?"
"So are you going to introduce me to your friend there?" he asked. I totally flipped and looked where he was nodding his head. He was looking at Jesse!
"What are you talking about?" I said, trying to play it cool. Oh man, was he seriously talking about Jesse? Did he see Jesse? Was Neal a Mediator too? "There's no one there."
Neal frowned at me, "Yes there is. The guy right there. Who is he?" he pointed directly at Jesse. My heart shut down. No way. Neal could see Jesse! Neal was a Mediator, like me.
************************
Personally I thought the beginning was kinna crappy. Boring. I didn't know what to write! :S Then I ACTUALLY got smarter and realized I was best at night. Duh! *hits forehead* Tho I feel like I'm making Suze a little meaner than usual. Anyone think so?? I'm getting' lost here…again, lol. Welp, bye. I'll try to keep writing for pplz who want me to.
