Pam POV
I started thinking about what I did this morning and felt guilty for what I did. In the morning I'm not the most…………….pleasant company. So I just had just woken up and in the morning I'm kind of mean. So I looked up at Suze. Her and Jesse were facing each other and were talking while I finished up the milk in my cereal. I then decided I should do something about what I did. It was time to take action and be responsible for what I did!
"Hey Susie." I said. She turned her gave to meet mine and Jesse turned around to face me. Now Suze was standing behind him. "Sorry about the whole you know throwing the….." Suze was waving her arms around and mouthing no no! What was I doing? All I was trying to do was apologize for throwing the miniature of Jesse out the window. "Umm for throwing the miniature of Je-" she was now waving franticly and looked panicked. What was up…….wait a minute oh! I get it Jesse didn't know she had a miniature of him. Hmm interesting. Good blackmailing material. I'll save that information for later.
"Sorry for throwing that picture out the window. I'm just not the most pleasant person in the world in the morning. I'm not really a morning person you know." Suze looked relieved now and Jesse just looked puzzled. For one her didn't know what we were talking about and I had been kind of trailing off and such through out my whole apology. He then turned to Susannah and said
"I thought you said that you had accidentally dropped something out the window not that Pam had thrown it out." OOOO! Looks like someone is a little liar. He he!
"Well uhh you see…." I then noticed something. Suze's hair looked…..well let's just say it didn't' looks like she could go out in public with that birds nest so I kindly interrupted her to inform her of such.
"Suze your hair it's kind of uhhhh let's just say it seems you're having a bad hair day." She suddenly stopped talking and gasped. She then high tailed it up the stairs to her room. I then turned to Jesse. Who the heck were we going to see.
"Who is this friend you're talking about?" Jesse turned to me and said
"He is Susannah's friend from school. You may have seen him at the dance." hmmm well what is with these people and being cryptic. Gosh just tell me the name and what we are going to do.
"I see. So Jesse how old are you?" He gave a stunned look and said
"I'm 20." Ahh! I see Susannah is into older men. Well that's perfectly reasonable. My Dad did tell me boys didn't fully mature until they were 20 something. (A/N: Seriously that's what he tells me!) It's only reasonable but then the question is why would Jesse want to go out with a younger girl. I know all those college guys trying to take the innocence away from those helpless 17 year olds! Its all been done before and if he hurt my cousin I was going to so deal with him! I may not have seen her in a while but she was still blood and I kind of looked up to her. She was pretty cool. I didn't want anyone trying to hurt my cousin! So I replied
"Aren't you a little old? My mom used to work as a high school study hall teacher and one girl was going out with a 20 year old and when the father found out, he was a priest I believe, he went and found her at a friends house and dragged her home made her pack and the both of them drove down to Florida. I do hope nothing like that happens to Suze. Like if her parents don't approve of you or anything as time goes on."
"I have nothing but honorable intentions towards Susannah." The 20 year old answered.
"Just watch out and I do hope you have honorable intentions or else." I gave him a warning. He looked disbelieving that a 13 year old was threatening him but I can be scary when I want to be. If my cousin's heart was broken in anyway I was going to get him. I don't know how but I would. Then we were sent into silence as I silently watched Jesse who just seemed to be standing there. It felt like an eternity but it was probably only five minutes but finally Suze came down the stairs with her hair all done and prettiful! Ooooo! It was shiny! Okay snap out of it Pam!
Suze POV
We went to the car and drove over towards our destination. When I had gone to retrieve the miniature of Jesse that he didn't know about. Thank goodness Pam had told me about my hair and it gave me an excuse to leave. Maybe the little munchkin wasn't so bad! Anyway so when I went to go retrieve the miniature when I ran into Jesse. He had come over to tell me about a ghost that had arrived at his house last night that needed help. I then noticed that she had been trailing right behind Jesse. She looked to be about 10 or so and she at least knew why she was here. She said that she needed to tell her mama that it wasn't her fault that she was dead. It was no one's fault. So we had to go look up this mother and send her a note or give her a call telling her what she needed to know. First though we needed to get rid of Pam. You may be wondering why I don't have a summer job or something like that. Well Andy decided to let us have summer off because my little cousin was staying the summer. So me and Jesse had to take care of this ghost and we were going to drop Pam off at a friend's house. We had arrived at our destination in a few minutes. Well more like 15. Anyway it was a big glass house that overlooked the ocean. It looked beautiful with the sun gleaming off the house at just the right angle and all the vegetation around the house that I knew was attended to by gardeners. I couldn't enjoy the house that much because this was the house of Paul Slater. Oh ya we had become friends and all but still the house gave me bad memories I never want to remember. The car pulled up into the driveway. I looked back at Pam and she seemed to be in awe at the sight of the beautiful house. We stepped out and walked up to the door. The doorbell rang and none other then the devil spawn I mean Paul himself answered the door. He turned his attention toward me and said
"Why hello Miss. Suze. What may I ask it the reason for this pleasant visit?" I was not taking any nonsense from Mr. Paul Slater
"Cut the crap Slater. We need to ask a favor." He gave me a questioning look and said
"What may that be?" I looked over at Jesse he seemed to be a little uncomfortable. Him and Paul weren't that comfortable with each other even now that he had given me up and said that Jesse won.
"Would you let us in first?" Jesse said. Paul realized that he was letting us stand outside and said
"Of course I forgot my manners Mr. De Silva." He then stood back and let us in
Paul POV
I had wondered why Suze had come knocking at my door. Maybe she had given up on De Silva and finally realized her true love. In my dreams but a guy can dream can't he? So as I let them in I noticed a little browned haired girl. She was walking quietly behind Jesse and Suze. She looked quite cute. Like in the little sense. She was skinny but not like sickly skinny. She was just blooming as a teenager and she had really long brown hair that was mid lower back. She had dark brown eyes and nice rosy lips. Not that I was a child molester or anything. She also had glasses but they were fit her face so she didn't look dorky or anything. She had nice little cheeks and she looked up at me with her dark eyes. She was cute in a little sister type way.
"Who is this lovely lady?" I asked. Suze turned toward Pam and was like.
"This is my little cousin Pam." It then occurred to me Pam like the.
"Like Pam the cooking spray." The little girl looked up at me and glared. Whoa! Little protective of her name is she. The girl then spoke up.
"Yes but I wouldn't like to be compared to a cooking tool." she then walked behind Jesse who looked at her sympathetically.
"Yes we would like you to watch her while me and Jesse took care of something." She gave me a look. Oh now I know what she meant by "take care of something." It was one of their charity cases.
"I see." I said. "Well what do I get out of this for looking after your cousin?" I wriggled my eyes suggestively.
"Slater." growled Jesse. Suze lay a hand on Jesse's arm to calm him down.
"I'll get you a nice Christmas gift or something how's that?"
"We'll negotiate later." (sigh) "I agree to watching you baby cousin." That's when the little one spoke up.
"No you can't just leave me here with…..him!" She obviously didn't know what to call me. Suze gave her a stern look and said
"Pam me and Jesse have to go take care of something. We'll be back to pick you up as soon as we can." Pam just crossed her arms and mumbled
"You two probably just want to go make out somewhere without me." Jesse and Suze turned beat red and Jesse said
"I'm sorry Pam but I promise that when we get back we'll take you where ever you want okay." Pam then turned herself to face Jesse and contemplated this for a while before saying.
"Okay!" and gave him a big smile which is when I discovered that the girl also had braces. She had nice braces. I had never seen any like them before. They were just silver brackets and they had not rubber bands. They looked better than the kinds with rubber bands. Wow and she was still pretty cute with glasses and braces. The knight in shinning armor. That was always Jesse. I just rolled my eyes and said
"Okay Mr. Perfect shouldn't you two go and do what you have to do." Jesse gave me a glare and said
"We should Susannah." he ignored my Mr. Perfect comment. Susannah nodded and said to Pam.
"Behave Pam okay." Pam mumbled a reply and the two made their leave. So now it was just me and the munchkin. This was going to fun.
"So what do you want to do little one?" I asked.
"Don't call me little one. What and I aloud to do?" I just looked at her and said.
"We could watch a movie." She looked up at me. The girl was kind of short. Barely 5"ft
"That depends what do you have to watch?" I led her towards the movie cabinet and showed her the movies we had.
"Mmm they all look good how about Tuck Everlasting." (A/N: That's for you Spikerina.)
45 Minutes Later
Pam POV
I had seen Paul at the dance dancing with that girl. It was so obvious that he was popular so why was Suze friends with him? Last time I checked she wasn't. Why would a popular want to be friends with a non popular. This all seemed very suspicious. I didn't really trust Paul he seemed too slick and slippery. Paul didn't look that interested in the movie he looked like he was going to doze off any second.
"I have to go to the restroom where is it?" I asked. He looked over at me and his penetrating blue ice gaze and said
"Up the stairs first door on your left." he then turned back towards the TV with a scene of Jesse and Whinny playing across the screen. I heaved my self off the couch and walked up the stairs looking out of the….well house if you really look at it. The ocean sparkled and I saw surfers riding the waves. One of them could have been the stepbrothers. I couldn't believe how beautiful the ocean was. I then found the bathroom. I did my business and I saw that the room across from the bathroom was open. It looked like a bedroom. I walked in and saw…… and pretty sterile and sanitary room. It looked weird. Like it was too perfect. It looked like no one lived in the room. I then saw a corner of something stuck under the bed. Apparently someone did actually spend time in here if they had left something under the bed. I looked at the box and saw a piece of masking tape saying
"Shifter Papers." What the heck was a shifter? Well only one way to find out. It probably was something that Paul had done for school. I opened the box and saw really old papers. Old things were really interesting and whenever I saw something old something inside of me came to life and I felt like an explorer exploring the unknown. I looked at the papers and gently lifted each out of the box. Some were so old that the edges of the paper crumbled under my hands. It all seemed out of place in this very modern very newly built looking room. It looked like these papers should have been in a museum of some kind. I looked at a new article with a picture of a man by Egyptian hieroglyphs. I loved Egyptian things! It was such an interesting culture that I loved to learn more and more about. I was getting really excited now and I read the head line
"Slaski's 'Big' Discovery."
Oh boy!This looked interesting! I was just about to read the article and had read the first sentence.
" Dr. Slaski declares that he has found a new race of people called 'shifters'." What in the world was a shifter. I then turned around and someone was standing at the door. His piercing gaze made me go as cold as ice as he said in a deep voice
"What are you doing in my room?" Ah he he. Caught in the act. This wouldn't exactly be considered bad behavior would it because Suze did say I should behave. (gulp) The way Paul was looking at me I should worry more about getting out of this situation than Suze finding out I had caused trouble.
I hope that was long enough. Thank you Koziak and Mrs. Nikki Slater for inspiring me and giving me an idea. This chapter turned out very differently than what I had planned. REVIEW OR ELSE I MAY JUST ACCIDENTLY FORGET TO UPDATE!
