A/N: I sorry I haven't updated for so long but I have another story that I'm writing and school is a problem also. And sometimes I don't be near my computer so that's also a problem.
I really, really appreciate all the wonderful reviews. Thank you!
Pens in potatoes/ Tory: You have been very helpful in both my stories giving me new ideas because I'm very clueless, I love your suggestion and I'll see if it will work out next chapter. Thanks
Chapter 3
Oh crap! It's 7:30!
Great.
I wanted to have enough time so I could have taken a nice long shower and do my hair the way I wanted it. The way it would hold at least until the end of the school day. But no, little Susie has to wake up a whole 30 minutes off of schedule. I yawned and jumped off the bed.
Wait.
What is this extra bed doing in my room by the window seat? I don't remember hearing anyone moving that into my room last night.
OHHHHH! I'm mad dumb. I remember now, my cousin Clover is spending the week with us. Stupid me.
At that moment Clover walked out of the bathroom. She was wearing a cute blue tank top, cargo zip jeans with blue pumps and a leather heel. And she had her perfect hair blown out, nice and neatly. Does she know that you can't wear jeans at The Mission? I guess not with the cargo jeans and all. Better tell her...
"It's about time you got up sleepy head. I thought you said you were going to wait up early to do your hair and stuff." She said while picking up my brush and brushing her hair looking at her reflection.
"Well you know, you could have woke me up." I said taking my brush so my hair won't get mixed up with her blond hair.
"Well sorry. I just thought you needed the rest because you looked out of it yesterday." She said in that all ready annoying voice of hers. I can't believe she said I looked ugly yesterday. I mean she was practically saying that.
Am I right? I decided to ignore that comment, since I am the bigger person.
No! I don't mean I fat. I think I weigh a little under 125lbs. That's not too big, I have a great body.
"You know at my school you can't wear jeans." I said looking at her pants. She picked up my pink lip-gloss and started spreading it on her lips.
"Too bad. They just have to deal for today. I am a temporary student right?" She said placing my lip-gloss back where it belongs.
"Whatever." I said and I walked past her into the bathroom and I closed the door.
I made it just in time before Dopey put the keys in the car. I noticed Clover was in the front seat where I was suppose to sit. But oh well I rather sit next to Doc anytime. We arrived at the school five minutes late and Sister Ernestine got up on us about our lateness. I was like 'Dude it was only five minutes don't have a beef stick.' But I just said that in my head. Dopey and Doc went to class and I had to introduce Clover to Father Dom.
I knocked on his door.
"Come in" he said. I opened the door and stepped inside.
"Hey Father Dom!" I said while closing the door behind us. "How are you today?" I said trying to make conversation.
"I'm fine today Susannah thanks for asking." He said nodding his head. "Ah this must be Ms. Clover Morrison. Its very nice to meet you." He said. He gave Clo a big smile and shook her hand.
"It's nice to meet you also Father Dominic." Clover said. I don't know what happened but Father D went from Mister Rogers to Hitler.
"Susannah." Great. What did I do now? "Mr. Warden has informed me that you are constantly sleeping in class and your grades are slipping." He continued.
"I'm sorry Father D, I've just been preoccupied." I said giving him a honest answer. It was true because all I can think about is Jesse and how he left me and I've been still having nightmares about shadowland.
"Is their anything wrong Susannah?" Father Dominic said giving me an 'are- their- any- ghost- bothering- you- at- home? - But- you- know- you- can't- kick- their- butts- because- your- a- mediator- who- helps- lost- souls-, not- hurt- them' look and I shot back 'there- is- nothing- wrong' look.
"Susannah, you are already late for class, so you can run along now." Father Dominic said. "Ms. Morrison can stay here and I'll inform the rules and I'll have someone walk her to your homeroom class." What that was dumb!
"But..." I started to say but Father Dom interrupted me.
"Now please" He said narrowing his blue eyes at me.
"Alright" I said. I grabbed my stuff and walked out of the office. What? He wanted to be alone with Clover?
Whoa!!
That does not sound right.
Clover's POV
After Suze left Father Dominic talked to me about the basic school rules. He acts like I'm staying here all year. He also comment on my very cute outfit staying I quote 'This is a Catholic school and you need to dress appreciate.' Going into the whole history about how it took years to have the uniform revoked so students could be comfortable in this California heat.
Whatever.
He also said I needed to follow Suze everywhere she goes because of some school rule. Its like he wants me to follow her into the bathroom stalls. After Father Dominic was rapping up someone knocked on the door.
"Come in" He said all politely and shit.
In walked in a very hot boy who was about my age I think with curly brown hair and a cute tan. Oh hell I just met my future baby's daddy.
"Hey Father Dominic. Miss me?" The hotty said. Oh my gosh! He has the most perfect smile I have ever seen. It's all shiny and white and PERFECT. I had to sigh. The boy acknowleged me.
"Oh I'm sorry I interuped this little meeting" He said backing out of the door.
"Wait!" Father Dominic said. "Can you do me a favor?" The boy nodded.
"Paul this is Clover, Clover this is Paul." Paul that's a nice name. I never knew a Paul.
"Hey." Paul said. "Are you new?" He asked.
"Well I'm visiting my cousin so you can say I'm new." I gave him one of my smiles to show I was totally into him.
"Well, Paul can you show Clover to her class. I believe you both have the same first period." Oh I forgot this guy was here. I totally forgot about him.
"No problem" Paul answered and opened the door for me.
"Thanks."
"Oh and Mr. Slater." We both looked behind us to see Father Dom standing up.
"Nice to have you back" he continued.
"It's nice to be back" Paul responded. We left the office and stared walking down the hall.
"So, where are you from?" Paul asked.
"I'm from New York City. New Rochelle to be exact." I answered. "Ever heard of it?"
"No, but it sounds interesting." He responded.
"I'm just visiting my dumb cousin." I said trying to make conversation.
"Oh do I know her?" He asked me. He looked down at me with those beautiful eyes.
"Probably not. She is such a nobody." I looked at my well-manicured nails.
"Do you have a girlfriend?" I questioned getting right to the point. You see I don't waste anytime. Paul smirked.
"I don't have a girlfriend."
Good that means he is so going to be mine even if it's going to be a one-night stand. If you know what I mean.
"Why? Is their something wrong with you? Are you bad or something?" I asked. I had to ask because I don't want a lunatic on my hands.
Paul laughed. "No. But I can if you want me to be." I can see out of the corner of my eyes that he was smirking.
"Well this is it." He said pointing to the classroom door. He opened the door.
"Hey Mister!" Paul said walking into the classroom. Me trailing behind him. The teacher turned to me.
"This must be Susannah's guest." He smiled at me and I smiled back.
"My name is Mr. Warden and I'm the history teacher." He was kinda old for me but that didn't stop me with my 9th grade English teacher. He was young and hot and I'm young and hot so it was easy to seduce him. I looked over to Paul he looked surprised at something, but whatever.
Suze's POV
Oh damn. I completely forgot Paul was coming back to school. And I hoped she did not talk to him because I would so kick his ass for no reason.
A/N: I hope you like it, I think it is Ok. Please just review this chapter. I tried my best, I never said I was a good writer.
