Disclaimer: I do not own the charters they are the property of Meg Cabot. She is brilliant and I wish I could write as well as her.
Ok so I got this idea and I couldn't get it out get it out of my head so I wrote it down. It is just a story about what could have happened if Jesse was alive and was Suze's age. Set at beginning of haunted. No ghost Jesse ever existed. Paul will enter later.
Hope you guys like it it's my fist Story ever on Fan Fiction ever.
And now on with the story and I almost forgot to add includes some parts from the book Haunted. You have been warned.
JESSE'S POV
"Everyone" Mr. Walden said "we have a new student."
First day at a new school. They are always so perfect. Not. Everybody stares at you like you're an alien. Then you have to say something about yourself with all those stares on you.
"This is Jesse De Silva, our new student. Mr. De Silva would you please tell us where you are from?"
Ah! I was right.
"Um, well I just moved here from Spain" I said.
"Wonderful, you can take a seat" Mr. Walden said.
Sounds easy right? Just take a seat. Well there were two open. The first was next to this tan girl. She was kinda pretty I guess but she seemed sorta ditzy. The other seat was next to a girl with chestnut hair. She hadn't even looked up yet.
Then she did, look up I mean. She had the most amazingly beautiful emerald eyes I'd ever seen.
As soon as I saw her eyes I just started walking. I didn't even think about it. It was like my legs were possessed. I walked over to the seat next to the girl with the chestnut hair.
When I did this everyone looked, I don't know stunned. Apparently sitting next to the girl with the chestnut hair instead of the tan one was something major. Even the girl with the Emerald eyes was stunned. Her eyes widened when I sat next to her.
Then the girl who didn't sit next to said "God, sit next to the freaks".
Before I could say anything the girl with the chestnut hair said "Call me and my friends freaks again and I'll break your fingers"
This shut her up pretty quick. The girl in front of the chestnut hair girl smiled at her friend's remark. The girl was obviously an albino. Also it was pretty obvious that these girls didn't like the tanned girl and her friends. What really surprised me though was that no one – not even Mr. Walden – found it odd for this girl to threat to break someone's fingers. It seemed like they believed she'd do it too.
I leaned over to the chestnut haired girl and said "hi I'm Jesse"
"Suze" she replied sticking out her hand.
I shook it. "Short for Susan?"
"Susannah" she corrected "as in 'don't you cry for me'"
"I know the song" I said smiling.
After class ended Susannah got up to leave. "Susannah" I said. I had this overwhelming urge to spend more time with her.
She turned towards me. "Call me Suze and yeah" she asked smiling.
"I was hoping you could show me where my next class was" I said. "If you're going that way" I quickly amended.
"What do you have next?" she asked.
"Math" I said looking down at my schedule.
"Me too" she replied "come on" she said motioning for me to follow her.
"Suze" called the albino girl. She looked as if she'd been waiting for her. There was a boy trailing behind her.
"Hey Suze who's your friend?" the boy asked.
"Oh this isJesse" she said pointing to me.
"Nice to meet you" said the albino girl. "I'm CeeCee Webb," she stuck her hand out in a very business-like manor. "And that's Adam" she motioned towards the boy.
"Nice to meet you too" I said.
We all started to walk towards what I assume was Math.
"So" I said. "Do you threaten to break people's fingers a lot?"
"No" she shrugged. "Usually I go for the nose" she remarked.
Adam started laughing at this.
"That's our Suze" CeeCee said. "Mess with her and brace your self for pain"
"I learned back in Brooklyn how well a fist works to shut people up" she said.
"I've definitely got to rember to stay on your good side" I thought out loud.
Math was boring but what do you expect. It is math. The only good thing is I get to sit behind Susannah. I can't help thinking about her. She's just …I don't know. It's weird.
"Jesse" Susannah whispered to me. When I say her eyes and she said my name my stomach did this little flip.
"Yes" I said.
"Do you get this 'cause I so totally do not"
"Yeah" I replied.
"Good can you help me please?" she pleaded
"Of course, querida" I said.
Once the words had left my mouth I instantly regretted it. Not because I'd agreed to help Susannah. Helping her meant I would get to spend more time with her, which I truly looked forward to.
The reason I regretted it was because of what I called her. I had called her sweetheart in Spanish. What if I scared her being so forward? Then she might not want be around me, and I just don't want that to happen.
"What does that word mean?" she asked. Thank Dios. She doesn't know what I called her.
"Oh it doesn't matter. So what don't you understand?"
I explained to her the best I could.
"Thanks, I totally get it now" she said. We were eating lunch with CeeCee and Adam.
Susannah was saying something to CeeCee. Then a voice broke threw their conversation. "Um Suze"
We all turned to she the source of the voice. It was a boy he couldn't have been more than thirteen. He had red hair and lots of freckles. His ears kinda stuck out too.
"Oh, hey David" Susannah said "what's up?"
"Did you see this?" he asked handing Susannah a piece of paper.
It was a flyer advertising a hot tub party at ninety-nine Pine Crest Drive on Friday. Guests were invited to bring a swimsuit if they wanted to have some 'hot 'n' frothy fun'. Or if they chose to skip a suit that was fine, especially if they were a female.
It sounded appalling. Of course seeing Susannah in a bikini didn't sound so bad, hmm…
Bad brain, don't think like that!
It was sickin' for someone so young to be having a party like this.
"No you can't go" Susannah said. "you're too young. And somebody should show this to your class advisor. Eighth graders should not be having parties like this."
"Um, Suze" CeeCee said.
"Seriously" she continued "and I'm surprised, I thought you were smarter than that". She sounded very disappointed with him.
This was understandable.
"Suze" CeeCee said "ninety-nine Pine Crest Drive. That's your house isn't it?"
Susannah gasped "David! What can you be thinking?"
"It wasn't me!" David cried very squeakily. "Someone showed it to me in Social Studies. Brad's passing them around-"he explained.
Susannah stood up. "Excuse me. I have to go commit a murder." She walked toward a jock- I assumed was Brad. Brad looked truly terrified as he saw Susannah nearing. David left.
"Who was the kid?" I asked CeeCee.
"Oh that's one of Suze's step-brothers." She replied.
CeeCee said brothers. She had more than one? "Is Brad another of her step-brothers?" I asked looking back at her and Brad.
"Yeah he- Oh my God" CeeCee's eyes got wide.
Susannah had just punched Brad in the gut. He was on the ground gasping for air. Susannah marched back over to the table, sat down, and started to eat her sandwich.
"You" Adam said to Susannah "are my hero"
So what do you think of chapter one? Please review I want to know if it's ok.
