The Mediator: Changes- (Based on the mediator series by Meg Cabot/Jenny Carroll)
been a while, sorry bout that! I guess it's become the norm for me to update every few weeks, but that's all I have time for with stupid school and possibly moving and everything... but you didn't come for my excuses, so read and be amused (hopefully) ~Chels
Chapter 19: Tag Along (continued from previous chapter)
"Ahem" coughed the guy following Jesse, "Yeah, welcome to the real world dude! Anyways, how can I get a ticket to the 'real world'...cause I could use some surf 'n sun 'n stuff...?"
Jesse looked at him like he was from another planet, "What do I look like, a Surf-English dictionary?"
"Jesse! Stop!" I interrupted, "Hey, I'm Suze." I said to the guy.
"Hey Soo-za" he said, winking suggestively, "I'm Matt."
Jesse got a hint of an irritated gleam in his eyes. Noticing it, I said, "Jesse, Stay and help, or leave" in a warning tone.
"And leave you with- him - Matt the surfer dude!? No way!" Jesse spat out.
Funny how a while ago I would have laughed to hear Jesse talking like that... a lot has changed since then... well, anyways... "Okay then," I said, turning back to Matt, "So yeah, I'm a shifter. I can see dead people and blah blah blah, but what I really do is help them move on... HELP being the key word. That's where you come in-"
"Wait," Matt cut in, " move on?!? All I want is to surf again, ya know? Live it up on da beach!"
"Can't" said Jesse sounding bored. Matt went pale (hmm I didn't know ghosts could do that) then turned red, "Why?" He challenged.
"That's just how it works." I answered soothingly, "people move on, start a new life I suppose."
"I don't want a new life! I want MY life!" screamed Matt, by this time he was basically purple with anger and things were starting to shake. He was strong, too strong for a 'new' ghost.
"Hey Matt?" I asked, tilting my head to the side a little.
"Yeah?" He asked, smiling seductively.
"How long have you been a ghost?" I said, narrowing my eyes.
His smile turned into an icy scowl, "A LONG time"
