We walked into Father Dominic's office. He was sitting at his desk playing on someone's confiscated a gameboy sp. "Father D?" I said.

"Oh, hello Susannah, Jesse. Hold on a moment," he responded not looking up from his game. A few minutes later the gameboy made a you-lose like beep and he looked up at us again. "So what can I help you with?"

Jesse turned bright red, "Sister Ernestine sent us," I sighed. No need to tell him why she sent us.

"Can't you go a day without getting in trouble with her in some way?" Father Dom asked. "Never mind you two will be late for class." He reached into his desk and pulled out some papers. "This," he said handing the top two sheets to Jesse, "is you schedule and locker combination. It's the one next to Susannah's. Here," he handed yet another piece of paper to him, "Is your admittance slip. You'll have to show this to all of your teachers."

"Thank you, Padre," Jesse said picking up all the papers and placing them in his pocket.

Father D. then turned to me and gave me the last sheet of paper on his desk," Susannah, this is a pass that allows you to leave class five minutes early and arrive five minutes late. You will be escorting Jesse to all of his classes until he can get to all of them by himself. After leaving him at his classroom go directly to yours. Just because I gave you five minutes doesn't mean you should abuse this privilege."

"Thanks for that vote of confidence in me." I said sarcastically

"Now Susannah, could you please wait outside while I explain a few things to Jesse. It won't take more than a minute," Father Dom told me.

"Whatever. See you in a few Jesse," I got up and walked out into the hall.

After only a few seconds I heard footsteps coming down the hall behind me.

"Hey Suze," I turned to find Paul walking closer to me. "I know you'll probably say no, but you want to go to Prom with me?"

"No way in hell!" I said very calmly taking a step away from him.

"C'mon Suze, Casper cant take you, and you'll look like a moron going alone-"

"I said NO. Now leave me alone"

"That's what I thought you'd say," he sighed, "And I was so hoping I wouldn't have to blackmail you. Oh well. Suze you are coming to Prom with me or you never see that dead cowboy again." He backed me up to a wall and trapped me between his arms. He then tried to lean down and kiss me.

"Paul get off!" I said loudly, but not loud enough to disturb the classes going on around me.

"Say, you'll go with me to Prom"

"NO!" Just as I said this someone pulled Paul away from me and punched him in the gut.

"Are you ok Querida?" Jesse asked letting go of Paul. Paul fell to the floor

"De Silva what the hell?" Paul yelled.

"I'm fine," I told Jesse as he came over and put his arm around my waist.

"That's it! I'm exorcizing him tonight, Suze. So have fun with him today. The dead cowboy wont be here much longer," He stood up ad started walking away.

"That's Cowboy now!" Jesse said.

Paul turned around, "What are you talking about?"

"In case you haven't noticed he's not dead anymore. Which might give you problems with that exorcism." Paul's jaw dropped and I tuned to Jesse, "Come on I'm going to be late even with my pass."

Jesse tightened his grip on me and we walked down the hall away from Paul. (a/n hehe I rhyme Hall Paul get it? Ok stopping now)

We stopped at my locker and I showed Jesse which one was his.

"What do you have first?" I asked. He just handed me his schedule, "Spanish 5? Great that's right next to my first class. I won't be late if we hurry" I grabbed his hand and pulled him down the hallway to our classrooms. "Here we are," I said once we got there. I pulled his head down to kiss him good-bye, but he pulled back.

"Querida, what if that nun sees us?"

"Relax, she has her own class to teach."

"Very well," Jesse sighed, but instead of giving me a kiss on the lips he gave me a quick peck on the cheek and walked through his classroom door.
