So. Here's chapter 3. Hope you enjoy. Guess who you get to meet.....new kid!!!! thanx for reviewing. Now I feel special. Still, if anyone has ideas about what to do w/ Paul. I have no clue if I'm going to make him get hit by a bus, train, car, or other means of transportation, or if I'm going to let him live. Feel the power!! sorry. IT had to come out somehow. My ten year old bro thinks that everyone including Jesse should be abducted and eaten by aliens. And he's my only feedback.so... Thanks for reading.

When I woke up the next morning, my mom was worried that I wasn't well enough to go to school, but I told her that Father Dominic was expecting me, because of my vice president requirements, to show the new guy around school. What my mom didn't know was that I wasn't expected to do any of that because of being vice president, I was just doing it because Father Dominc said that I should. I didn't want to, but I had to see why he was so anxious to have me back at school. I went down to eat some of the oatmeal that Andy had made for us this morning. Brad and David were leaving, and told me that if I wasn't out in a minute, they were leaving. Grabbing my bag, I ran out the door and got in just in time. Brad was ready to drive out of the garage just as I hopped in.

At school, Sister Ernestine told me that Father Dominic wanted me in his office right now. I went and saw someone that I never thought I'd see. Ever again.

"Oh good, Susannah, you're here. Hector, this is Susannah, Susannah, I believe you would like to know Hector de Silva. He just transfered here. This will be his last year in high school, and he thought that he would like to find out more about the Christian faith."

I was speechless. Jesse? Here? How? And why was Father Dominic acting like Jesse didn't know me. Why was Jesse looking at me like that? He knows me!

And he just continued on, a little bit frazzled, but still. "Hector, this is Susannah. She prefers to be called Suze. But don't you think that's vulgar?"
"Yes. It rather is. Hello Susannah." As he said that, I could swear I saw something pass through his eyes. But you know me, I'll exaggerate anything. At least that's what Father D. has to say about it. Unfortunately, I was unable to say much more than I usually am when I am dumbfounded.

"Um. Hi. Do I know you from somewhere? You look familiar. Do I know you Jesse? Oops. I mean Hector." He was wearing brown cords with a black shirt. My knees went week and jelloid. He looked so hot-- and modern..But then, he always does. Modern Jesse. Hot Jesse. I loved the sound of it Jesse. My Jesse. But if he was my Jesse, why didn't he know me? Why? Why did I fall in love with the hot, sweet, caring eighteenth century ghost that used to haunt my bedroom. Why had he not remembered me when he came back to life? How is this? Why is this?

"Jesse? you must have me confused with someone else. No. You do look familiar to me, but I dont' think I knew you." Yes you do. You have to. Must I tell you! Must.
"Yes you must have confused him with someone else didn't you Susannah." He said this with a firmness that said, 'Don't disagree. It will get you nowhere. Understand me?' Hum. Well that wasn't like Father Dom at all. I'd have to have a talk with him later...

"Yeah. You're right Jes...I mean Hector." Hector. Did that ever sound weird coming from my mouth. Hector. Damn. That was Jesse. I just knew it. Something inside of me was screaming at me for not giving him a hug or something. After all, he had just told me that he loved me not too long ago. I wonder what is up with that. "What's your first class? I'm going to Mr. Walden's class."

"That's where I'm going too isn't it Father?"

"Yes. Ok Susannah. Thank you for showing Hector around. If you would walk with him to all of his classes today and maybe tomorrow, then I'd give you a late pass. Ok? Well, have a nice day you two!"

"I'll be by later to have a talk with you Father Dom. There's something I need to ask you."

"Sure, sure Susannah. Now, to class with the both of you. Have a nice day children" And so Jesse--or Hector, I guess--walked out of Father D's office and down the hallway.

"So, Hector, do you need to go to your locker?" Hector. It still sounded foreign to me. Hector. I couldn't get over it. He didn't remember me. Not one bit. But why?

"Yes, I do. Would you be so kind as to show me, Susannah?" Again that look passed through his eye. I knew I wasn't imagining it!

"Ok. What number is it? Um, 279? Huh.Ok. That's right by mine. I still have to go get my books and stuff, so let's walk" I said that a lot more cheerful than I felt then. Jesse was back, he didn't remember me a bit, Father Dom knew something, Jesse knew something, and I was clueless. We walked down the hall, and I remembered Heather. She was a bitch. And I mean that. I'm glad that she is gone and not coming back. Jesse followed me, not taking in the surroundings like most new students did, but just walking. Like had did this for a lot longer than I have. Like a hundred and fifty years

Arriving at our destination, my locker, I got my books and then we walked six lockers down to Jesse's locker. Mr. Walden's door was almost across the hall, and CeeCee could see right out the door at us. She started waving under her desk, so as to say, get your butt in here and explain all of it. I waved back to signal that I would. Just let me finish. She seemed content with this, and I waited for Jesse to put his coat in the locker.

But at that time, who should appear but someone that I didnt' think that Jesse needed to know about just yet. Great. Now I have to hold a conversation while my one true love is right next to me, not remembering a thing--not a single thing--about me. Also my one true love that has come to my school and doesn't know anything about it. Oh joy. Joy of all joys. Here we go again.

So. How did you like that? I hope it was lovely in several ways. Is it too long like dragging on long? I don't know what to do about much, sorta making it up on my way. But if you like it, I will continue, if not, well, say something. But please don't be merciless. I'm not that bad I dont' think.
but, Thanks for reading. Hope you enjoyed it and I'll start working on the next chapter.

toodles
luv
