Chapter 18

Having Jesse alive proved to be somewhat problematic. DO not get me wrong, I love the fact that he alive. What girl DOESN'T want to be able to go make out with her boyfriend without having people think she is…some desperate weirdo making out with the air. Ew. Ok, but you know how incredibly hot Jesse is? His great looks plus the fact that he is such a gentlemen…yeah all the girls started noticing him at once. Oh. Believe me. I did not like this one bit at all.

There Jesse was standing by my locker on Tuesday, waiting for me come because its lunch time, and Kelly comes up to him and just starts flirting. Uh, excuse me?! MY boyfriend, not yours. I do not know where it came from but all of a sudden I walked up to them, wrapped my hands around Jesse's eyes and said, "Guess who," in that totally flirty manor that I normally do not do.

Jesse just chuckled and took my hands off his face with his own and spun me around. "Hello Susannah," he said in a deep silky way that makes me melt into a big pile of Suze goop. He then slid his arms around my waist and with his big sexy grin on his face, lowered his head to mine and let our lips meet. Ok, I admit…the couples at school that always make out in the hallways always bugged the shit out of me before, but I couldn't help it…I really couldn't. I felt my back press into my locker as Jesse's body pressed into me more. I fell into the kisses and deepened them letting my tongue slip into his mouth. As soon as I did this I thought to myself how he would never let me do that at school! I mean sure, in the privacy of my room he has let me in the past, but in font of everyone? That is just so Un-Jesse like. To my liking he did not stop me, though. I guess being a live teenage boy has given him more raging hormones or something. Thank god!

I broke away from him smiling shyly at him. He kept his arm around my waist so we could walk outside for lunch together. To my dismay, Kelly was still standing there close by. I looked at her and said, "Oh, hi Kelly, did not see you there. Have you met my BOYFRIEND, Jesse de Silva yet?" Bitchy, I know. Hehe, ah well. I am quite protective and want everyone to know that he is mine! Ok, I really should not be worried…I know Jesse loves me.

She just glared at me and said, "Yeah, I have…Suze do you know where Paul is?"

I opened my mouth just when Jesse interrupted and said, "Why would you want to find that insert angry Spanish words Slater is bad news…"

I kind of glared at Jesse and said, "No Kelly, I have not seen Paul, sorry"

She walked off and I placed my head on Jesse's shoulder and sighed. He brushed my hair out from my face and said, "Querida? What is the matter?" He kissed my forehead and led me towards CeeCee and Adam.

I looked at him and smiled. "Nothing is wrong, Jesse, nothing at all. Everything is perfect."

CeeCee and Adam, I noticed, looked very cozy, if you know what I mean. Adam's arm was around her and she looked like she was in Heaven. Did they get together and I not know about it? How could they not tell me? Well, I guess I have yet to tell CeeCee the fact that Jesse is now alive…I guess that is kind of bigger.

CeeCee sat up and looked at Jesse. I could tell she thought he was very good looking though she did not sound flirty at all when she said, "Ah, so you must be the new kid who came yesterday."

He smiled at her since he, of course, already knew all about both CeeCee and Adam due to the fact that they have both been to my house. And you know, my best friends. "Yes, that is I, Jesse de Silva. And you are CeeCee I presume?" Ok, wow. I could help but giggle but what teen guy talks like this? Jesse has a lot to learn…ah well…his 1800-century twang to him made him just so cute.

She looked stunned. I do not know if it was because Jesse knew her name, or if because it was JESSE alive and in front of her. After the party at my house she had been able to figure out Jesse was a ghost, so this must have been a huge shock to her. "But…but...wait…" She looked at me all confused like.

I smiled. I seriously don't know whom I was really smiling at. I was just THAT happy, I mean everything seemed perfect for once. I know my life can never really be "normal" being a mediator and all but this is the closest it has ever been and I will be damned to screw it up! "Don't worry CeeCee…I will explain it later. Or at least as well as I can."

"Good, because, this just goes against everything scientific and God, it just makes no sense…" CeeCee was really confused, and we all know how much she likes knowing everything being the reporter that she is.

"Ok, whoa, I am so lost!" Adam exclaimed. I totally forgot he knew nothing of what we were speaking about.

"Do not worry about it, Adam," Jesse said to him. "They are just being weird girls again…" he started laughing at that due to the expression on my face (one of pure shock) and also because I smacked him on the shoulder.

"Oh hey, are you two going to the dance together since you are a couple?" CeeCee suddenly asked out of the blue.

Dance? What dance? I guess the look of confusion showed on my face because Adam went on to explain. "You know Suze! CeeCee told me she told you about it over the weekend. It is this Saturday at the haunted mansion…"

Oh, yeah. THAT dance. Well I guess my date is taken care now since Jesse is alive! Yay! But, wait. Wasn't there something else about this dance…like some sort of theme or something…I was trying to remember when CeeCee said, "Yeah remember? I told you about it on the phone. We are supposed to dress as if we are from the 1800s."

There we go. That is it. How ironic, my date can tell me exactly what the girls wore…my thoughts were interrupted because next to me Jesse started cracking up. I am dead serious! He just burst out laughing to the point that he was almost crying…what is wrong with this dude?

"Are you telling me, Querida, that we have to dress up like those who used to from the 19th century?" He was grinning quite broadly. I guess he found this whole thing to be ironic too.

I elbowed him in the stomach to be quiet since Adam did not know that Jesse was from the 1850s. Wow. His stomach felt so hard…ok wow focus, Suze. CeeCee, surprisingly, did not go on to explain about the history of our school and why it's the Mission and all since I had told her all about him being from the time of it.

I just let Adam be confused, I mean come on, the dude is confused most of the time anyways. I just went on to ask what CeeCee was going to wear which she responded, "Oh, I don't know…I guess I will look up on the internet how the women dressed up for formal affairs"

Right away Jesse went, "Well my sisters always wore hoop skirts and corsets and other things like that under their dresses." Oh shit. Adam and CeeCee just stared at him and I could tell by the look on Jesse's face that he totally forgot he was alive and not everyone knew what era he was from.

"And why were your sisters wearing hoops skirts and corsets?" Adam asked sounding even more confused then ever.

This is were Suze Simon, master of lying, jumps in. "Oh you see Adam, Jesse's family, the De Silva's were very important people back in the day, as in way back when in the 1850's, and so now his family celebrates their heritage by dressing up as their ancestors would have." Ok, bad lie I know, but it was the best I could come up with! I mean really, how many ways can you explain something like that?!

"Oh really? That's very interesting!" CeeCee got in on the act and went along with it thank the good lord. "I am very much into the history of Carmel…actually I did an article on your great…something relative, Hector de Silva, over the summer for the newspaper." Ok, maybe she took it too far…I never really told Jesse about that. (A/n ok I don't remember if Suze ever told Jesse or not so lets pretend she didn't and humor me)

He raised his eyebrow with the scar on it and gave me an odd look. "Oh, I must have missed that article. I am sure it was very good."

"It was!" I squeaked out somewhat embarrassed. "I helped her with it." Hey, I might as well tell him, even though it is a bit late.

"Hmm. I want to read this sometime, if either of you happen to have a copy of it still." He looked me right in the eye. Oh, he knew me way too well; of course I still had a copy.

"Yeah, of course. Next time you are over I will show you." Oh my god. I just realized that Jesse cannot just materialize into my room anymore. He has to actually physically move. Damnit! This means I will see him less since he can't just make random late night visits. Ok, now I am somewhat bummed out. Wait. He is alive…I think that is better.

Since CeeCee had asked me randomly if Jesse and I are going to the dance together, which we never really answered, I guess I will ask him later if he would like to go, so I thought I would ask them the same. "Hey, are you two going to the dance together?"

CeeCee turned a shade of pink yet was smiling quite big. Adam winked at her and said, "Yep, CeeCee is my big date!" Aww, they are just too cute!

Suddenly a shadow appeared from behind me and a voice said, "Who is going to be my 'big date?'" Paul walked to the end of our table and smiled at everyone as a hello.

"I am sure you will find someone to take, Paul." CeeCee said.

"Seriously, dude, you could get any chick in this whole entire school. Say a name and she would be yours." Adam said to him.

Paul's eyes glanced at me and then fell to the table, a half smile playing on his lips. "No, Adam, you are mistaken. I have said this name many, many times and she is still not mine…and I know most likely will never be mine…" Suddenly his eyes shot up and his trademark smirk flashed onto his face as if he realized he just opened up his messed up mind to random people and wanted to cover it up. "But you know, I will find someone, no problem. Or, you know, I could always go stag and steal other guy's dates" With that he smirked and winked at Jesse and me. "Well, I will see you all later." With that he turned around and walked towards the school building to do who knows what.

I noticed how Jesse's gaze was still on the retreating figure of Paul and that he was frowning. He sighed and turned back around to face the table and said, "I really do not like Slater at all…"

"Eh, he is alright…a bit cocky at times, but he has never done anything too terrible that I have ever seen. Hey, the dude has humiliated Kelly Prescott more than one time, so in my book he cannot be that horrible." Adam said in reply. He then looked at Jesse with his head cocked to the side and said, "Wait, how do you know Slater anyway? You are knew here and he moved here from Seattle not that long ago."

I could tell Jesse was trying to come up with an answer and I just shot Adam a look as to say, "my God, don't you ever stop asking questions?!" He of course did not see it though. Jesse cleared his throat and said, "Oh, I have met him a few times through Susannah. If you spend any amount of time at all with her, you notice that Paul is prone to pop up randomly."

I thought to myself, 'Wow, Jesse is getting to be almost as good of a liar as I.' Right then, the novices started walking around to tell us that lunch was over and to start making our ways to our next classes. We all stood up and started walking making pointless conversation that really is not worth mentioning. That is until Jesse leaned down and whispered into my ear, "I assume you will allow me to escort you to the dance?"

My eyes met his, which were glowing with excitement, and I of course had to say, "Why of course, my good sir."

He took my hand in his and kissed it lightly, still smiling, and said, "Until then my fair lady…until then…" he then bowed to me and winked. Ok, wow. Is it just me, or is the whole treat your girlfriend like a princess thing just adorable? I blew him a kiss and turned towards my next class with a huge smile still plastered all over my face.

Jesse POV (a/n I haven't don't other peoples POV in a while so this shall be fun! Yay extra long chapter for YOU!)

I watched as my Querida walked off towards her next class. I still had this goofy grin stuck on my face from our conversation about the 1800s dance. Imagine that, I just become a 21st century teen and already I am being pulled back into my past. I can already picture Susannah in one of the big poofy dresses with a hoop skirt and everything like my sisters used to wear for fancy dances and parties. It shall be quite a change from the normal jeans and leather jacket she normally wears for, as she calls it, Ghost busting, or the little skirts and shirts she wears for outings. I turned and started walking towards my next class, which was Spanish. I chuckled to myself since Spanish is basically my native language. We spoke it, rather than English, at home with my family more often than not. I had a feeling I was going to enjoy this class very much.

I got into the classroom and walked up to the front of the room. Since it was my first time going to Spanish class I did not know where I was to sit. The teacher was a female who appeared to be about 45 or so. She saw me and smiled kindly and said, "Hola, me llamo Senora McGraw." (A/N making up his teachers name, obviously) She then said in English, "You must be the newest student here, Jesse de Silva?"

I replied in perfect Spanish, "Yes, that is I. I am sure I will enjoy this class. Where am I to sit?"

She looked surprised but also very happy that I knew Spanish so fluently. She replied to me in Spanish this time saying, "You speak Spanish very well, Jesse! You can take any of the empty desks."

I thanked her and turned to face the class so see where the empty desks were. I still did not know many people in my own grade so it didn't really matter to me where I sat. It was between this fairly pretty looking girl with long blonde hair or this guy who looked bored. I sat down next to the guy figuring I needed more male friends anyway.

He glanced at me and said, "Hey. I don't know you. Are you new?"

Hmm, maybe the girl would have been a better choice. This guy did not seem too bright. I nodded and said, "Yes, I just started here on Monday. I am Jesse de Silva."

He nodded at me and said, "Sweet. I am Kyle Robinson. Pound it." He then held out his hand clenched in a fist and I kind of just looked at it thinking, what does he want me to do? I figured he wanted me to hit it or something. Oh wait! I have seen Susannah do this before…lightly punch his fist with mine own. I did so and he nodded his head again and said, "Rock on."

I smiled to myself while thinking, "wow, this boy really reminds me of Susannah's brother "Dopey" or rather, Brad. Not too smart…and he seems sort of surfer-ish. I asked him, "So. What do you like to do, as in for fun?"

He thought for a moment and said, "Oh, you know, the normal. Surfing at the beach…chilling with my friends…getting with the chicks…" With the last statement he nudged me in the ribs and smiled. I must ask Susannah what that means…"What about you? Do you have a girlfriend or anything?"

"Yeah, I do. Susannah Simon." I said.

He raised an eyebrow at me and said, "really? She's pretty hot. Isn't that Paul dude, like always after her?"

I frowned and nodded. Luckily class started right then so I didn't get to really reply. Now I really started to think sitting next to the girl would have been a better choice…

Ok. Seven pages are enough for you. I will write more later. To be continued!! REVIEW OR DIE!

Teehee.
