Sarah and I walked into the house. We had decided to use the tickets that she had gotten through her Theory of Music teacher to go to the designer show house. Now usually I don't like old things, but it was a pretty cool old house, plus, I'd only be there a little while, and honestly, what can happen in a few hours. I was really wrong. When I picked up the brochure in the foyer, the first word I saw in it was "Haunted" with a giant question mark after it. I was like, okay, everything will be fine… it's just to generate publicity… I mean it is opening night.

"Oh my gosh Suze! This is so cool! The people who live here have claimed to see ghosts in the past. They had the designers make it themed so that it's like when the ghosts actually lived here! Isn't that awesome!" Sarah said obviously enthused. God, I mean she brought me, and I did ask if we could just go on a girl's night out.

"Yeah, it's really cool!" And honestly, I kind of meant it. I hadn't done any real mediation since leaving Carmel. I had done a few after that… and ew not like that! So I was okay with it maybe being a little haunted… I mean I seriously doubted it was but who cares. I didn't until I looked up the stairs. I saw the Doctor himself. That's right, Jesse DeSucky! Ugh… I so did not want to deal with him. There was only one other route to take, the kitchen stairs. So what if it looked like I was coward, I mean it's not like anybody I knew was there. Then I saw Paul. Crap. It's just like that SOB to be here! I mean her can't just leave me alone for a little while. I was trapped. It totally sucked. I mean these are guys I totally wanted to cuss out… and they were both there. Ugh… I couldn't very well go towards Jesse because he would realize that I wasn't clubbing like I made it sound… so I chose the lesser of the two evils at the moment. I was walking quickly through the hall when Paul saw me. He grabbed me… and no not in the way many of you are hoping… he grabbed my arm.

"Hey Suze. What's up? Did you see Rico Suave here?" Paul said. I didn't even stop to correct him on Jesse's name.

"What the hell do you think Paul?" I said a little pissed that Sarah hadn't stopped to see where I was. She was clueless as ever talking to some designer that I could totally tell was gay. I mean how could you not tell. Then I looked at Jesse. I saw him eyeing Sarah, or so I thought.

"I'd take that as a yes."

"Well done Sherlock!"

"I see you haven't changed."

"If you couldn't tell when I hung the phone up on you today… I mean that's nothing like what I would have done," I said, my voice dripping with sarcasm.

"Why are you pissed at me Suze… I'm not the one who broke your heart?"

"And you won't let me forget it, you arse…"

"Well… yeah," Paul said sounding kind of regretful. "Look, do you want to go out to this new restaurant with me right now."

"Um… well," how in all things holy, sorry Father Dom, was I actually considering this, I mean this is Paul freaking Slater. But he was super hot… I mean like that one song went "he's pretty fly for a white guy." I mean okay… Paul's pretty fine for any guy. I mean I bet he could make some straight guys want to be gay, creepy, but true. That's when I saw Jesse look over at me. "Sure," I said definitively.

"Really?" Paul said skeptically.

"Yeah," I said. I mean maybe I was trying to smite Jesse or something insane like that… but Paul was hot… and he was asking me out. "I just have to tell Sarah." Wow that girl was clueless. She was still flirting ruthlessly with the gay designer.

"She looks a little… um… preoccupied. Does your friend have a thing for gay guys?" Paul asked me.

"No, she's just really clueless."

"I see." Paul said as I turned to Sarah.

"Hey Sarah," I said happily.

"Yeah," Sarah answered. Then the lights went out.
