Chapter 9 (Ninth Key)

From now on, there will be a lot of different POVs. Name of character will be indicated.

Suze's POV

"My whatta?"

"What's holding you back" Jesse said very slowly, emphasizing every word. Huh? What's holding hil back? Shame. I was just starting to like the guy a little bit.

"I got that, De Silva" Paul spat (not literally..ew).

"Didn't seem to, Slater" I shot back. Why? He was talking to Jesse. I don't know. I'm confused. Now, what the fuck was I talking about?

Jesse and I grinned at each other, while Paul glared at us and Father D sighed. This is gonna be a long afternoon.

Paul's POV

Rico Suave and Suze sat there, grinning at each other like idiots. I'm pretty sure I saw Jesse making eyes at her, a few days ago. If they start going out, I'll kill myself…Ummm, I already dead. Oh, shut up. At least, you don't have to see the ALIVE girl you're falling for with Rico Suave, when you are DEAD. Yup, I know. Screwed up. Father Dom sighed and picked up where he left off.

"Let's talk about what's holding you back, Paul" Father D repeated.

"Fine" I groaned.

"Goodie…Now, you can get the hell outta my room"

What? I thought she liked me. Being me, I just showed her a finger that wasn't my index, ring finger, pinky or thumb.

"Mr. Slater! I will not allow you to do that…especially not in my office. Now apologize to every one here" Father Dom lectured me. Whatever.

"Sorry father. Sorry Suze. Sorry Rico"

"It's Jesse" Rico Suave snarled.

"Not to me" I smirked.

"Let's not get started again with your whole macho pissing contest again" Suze broke in, distracting me and Jesse.

The slow ass that Rico Suave is, just caught on about the whole me-living-in-Suze's-roomthing.

"Did you say that Slater lives in your room?" Jesse stared at Suze.

"Uhh…yeah" Suze answered

"Little slow, aren't you, De Silva?" I drawled. He didn't take notice of my remark and had his eyes stuck on Suze. Maybe I should read his thoughts.Oh, boy.

Jesse's POV

I looked at Susannah. I reallylooked at her.I hadn't even payed She was beautiful. Why hadn't I noticed before?

Because you were too busy drooling over the fake blond cheer leader.

Great, Paul Slater is reading my personal private thoughts. He can hear every thing I think about…her.

"Okay. We're outta time. We'll talk about this on Thursday after your Trig class at 3:30 since English is cancelled and you have to wait for your siblings. Paul, be there" Father Domonic cut into my thoughts.

"STEP" Suze reminded us loudly. I laughed and hurried to history.

A/N: This might be a PS or JS fic. Read to find out. Tell me what you think is better. I'll prob go both ways but Suze has gotta end up with some one. Jesse or Paul?
