A/N: hey guys I just wanted to say thank-you to everyone who reviewed I loved all of the reviews. Another thing is I am a Jesse fan, and when he's a good guy a Paul fan so don't think just because I got rid of Jesse in the beginning is because I don't like him, Oh and I am Also becoming a Seth fan so I don't know who Suze is going to turn out with, as I am just as clueless as you. So I wasn't really sure about the last chapter but you guys seemed to like it so it will stay-for now. Thanks to everyone who reviewed (I am to tired to go over replies tonight)

And a special thanks to Mrs Nikki Slater who reviewed to every chapter so far (keep it up please:)

Chapter: 5 Talking

I didn't talk to Paul for the rest of the week. I tried to avoid him as much as possible. I'm not sure if it's because I was so vulnerable when we were talking and hated myself for showing that side to him.

Paul Slater, the guy that I used to hate with all my guts and would sooner die than cry in front of, and who did I just cry on the shoulder of? - him, yep Paul.

Or ya know it could be the fact that I think I like this new side of Paul. He was really sweet that night and I found myself wanting to spend more time with him and that scared the crap out of me. I mean I love Jesse and always will, so why am I having all of these feelings for Paul, especially Paul. And what about Seth? I think that he is a really nice guy and I feel great around him like no one is judging me. And he makes me laugh. And he is just as hot as Paul and Jesse. But I think that he might be avoiding me (if the way I walk down the hall he turns and goes in another direction is any hint or the way that if he is sitting with CeeCee and Adam and I come up to join them like I always do and he somehow all of a sudden has to go somewhere). But for the love of all that is holy I can't figure out why. I tried to talk to him but like I said he was always turning to go in a different direction and walk away. The worst part was that I don't have his number, and since he is new they don't have it in the phone book (I checked). I have even asked Adam and CeeCee and they said that they had no idea what was up with him. I asked them to ask him and they did but he told them that he wasn't doing anything like that and I must just be imagining things. Well let me tell you that made me mad. He knows that I know that he is avoiding me but is making me look like the bad guy here, arr.

Anyway so I am doing to Paul what I 'KNOW' Seth is doing to me. But me being me has found a way to corner Seth in the hallway when he was coming from the bathroom at lunch and I was coming down the hall so I could go to my locker to get my books for next class. As he was coming out of the doorway to the bathroom we bumped into each other. Literally.

"Aw" I said as I landed on my butt and he said "woah" as he tried to catch me but missed. Ok, about me saying that I found a way to get Seth to talk to me, well I didn't really find a way as I bumped into a way.

"Oh Suze, I'm sorry" Seth said as he went to help me up.

"No Seth it was all my fault" I said now standing and looking up at him.

"Oh, well are you ok?"

"Um" I said looking down and smoothing out my black-just-above-the-knees skirt "yeah I think so" I finished and put a smile on my face before I looked up to him.

"Yeah, that's good" he said and then turned to walk down the hallway saying "Well I guess I will see you around sometime"

"Wait" I yelled out and ran up to him grabbing on to his arm

"Yes?" he asked looking down to where I was holding him. I let go of his arm unwillingly, if I have to say, because his arms where strong and big he looked like he could take on Dopey in an arm wrestle and then go on to play the rest of the wrestling team.

"I know that you told CeeCee and Adam that you weren't, but I know that you are and I am not them and will not just pass it off with a shrug" I said like all in one breath. Remember to breath Suze remember to breath. "So I am asking you and please tell me why... why are you avoiding me?" I asked and looked up into his hazel eyes with my own begging for an answer eyes "I mean I thought we were friends, and we were having a good time at the Coffee Clutch but after I got back from the bathroom you started to avoid me. Is it something I said or did?" asked again still looking into his eyes.

I know I probably sound like a really annoying girlfriends who wont get a hint when you tell them that it's over and yet they continue to call and hang out at the places that you hang out at. But you can't really call me on doing any of that because

a) I was never his girlfriend so he couldn't break-up with me and

b) I have no idea where he hangs out at so I wouldn't know where to hang out at if I was stalking him.

So I don't really know what I am.

"Well Suze this is really hard to say and you will probably think that I am a total idiot, but well... Suze I like you" Seth said breaking the eye contact that we had and looked down to the tiles on the floor.

"Well, you sure have a funny way of showing it" I kind of snapped at him.

"Well what was I supposed to do? I couldn't be around you and not tell you how much I like you and I was gonna ask you out at the Coffee Clutch but CeeCee and Adam were always around and I didn't want to do it around them, and then you went to the bath room and I was going to go and wait for you to come out but then I saw you talking to that Paul guy that like all of the girls in our grade have a crush on, and then he waited for you to come out and when CeeCee came back and said that you would be back in a bit you were just talking to Paul. But I was the only one that could see out the window that you guys were standing in front of"

Oops my bad. I really didn't know that anyone could see us.

"and then you guys hugged for a very long time...it looked like you two just made up, and by the time he kissed you on the cheek"

(oops again my bad. Did I forget to tell you that? Well ya got to give me credit. I was very tired and a girl has to keep some stuff to herself .

"and then all my hope that you would ever like me back was bashed." Wow, this was very interesting, very interesting indeed. Seth thinks that I am going out with Paul and Paul thought that I was going out with Seth. My life is very weird. No, I mean really, very weird. I did the only thing that I could think of that would show Seth how I really felt about him. I reached up with my left hand and lifted his face up so he was looking into my eyes and then I brought my right hand up and behind his head pulling him down. I stood up on my tiptoes and just before I kissed, yes kissed Seth, I said "I am not going out with Paul Slater" and with that I closed the small gap between us in a fiery kiss.

The kiss was nice, no, I mean really nice. Seth didn't respond at first and I started to think that he had changed his mind and decided that he didn't like me anymore like that. Then just as I was starting to pull away and then go run and hide in embarrassment of being rejected, Seth responded. Seth's arms found there way around my waste. He griped my waste and pulled my hips toward him. He started to suck on my lower lip until (which wasn't that long-not that it didn't feel good) I opened my mouth and his tongue was inside it rubbing against my own. We stayed like that for awhile before we heard a "hmm, hmm?" We quickly pulled apart and I spun around to look and see who the intruder was. I was getting ready to tell them off for interrupting us when in front of me stood Sister Ernestine in the flesh, all of her and the big crucifix around her neck.

"Um..." I said out loud while inside my head I was saying 'Oh shit, oh shit, oh shit I am so dead, Father Dom is so gonna kill me. And he is going to think that Jesse meant nothing to me, because I wasn't grieving for long' that was what went though my head the time Sister Ernestine sat there looking at us before she said "Father Dominic's office now!"

"Sorry" I mumbled to Seth as we started to turned to leave. I said 'started' because we never got real far before Sister Ernestine stopped us and said

"Miss Simon"

"Yes?" I said turning back around to look at her.

"You go to see the principal alone, Mr. Savery you can go back to lunch".

"What?" we both said.

"Now" Sister Ernestine said louder (I guess trying to make herself sound more 'in control'.

"But-" Seth started to say, but again she butted in.

"I suggest you leave now Mr Savery before you too, get in my bad books" she said and turned and walked away. I grabbed Seth's arm and pulled him back to the lunch tables and away from Sister Ernestine.

"What in the hell did you think you were doing back there? No one tries to get in her bad books" I yelled in a whisper to Seth as we came out to where all the rest of our class is.

"I didn't want you to get in all of the trouble. It was partly my fault" Seth said looking down at me.

Yes ok I am that short you don't have to rub it in.

I looked back up at him and smiled. Aw, he was so sweet and cute, but stupid I mean when Sister Ernestine lets you off you don't try to get in trouble, even if it was partly your fault. "Aw that's so sweet but it's ok".

"No it's not" Seth said looking down at me with a frown on his face.

"Really Seth it's ok." I said and started to walk away. When I turned around to wave good bye I saw Seth right beside me. "What are you doing?" I asked.

"Why I'm coming with you" he said as if he was stating a fact that I should know because we have just studied the topic for a week or two. It was really a pity look, like he thought that I was just some stupid little girl that didn't know anything at all.

"Ah, no you're not" I said right back at him with a look that I hope said 'don't-even-think-about-getting-yourself-in-trouble-too', but either my look didn't say that at all and really said 'oh-really-I-can't-believe-we-will-both-be-in-trouble' or he completely ignored it because all he said was

"Ah, yeah I am".

"No you're not", I said.

"Am too" he said.

"Are not", I said.

"Am too", he said.

"Am too", I said.

"Are not", he said.

"Ha got ya! You are not coming" I said laughing and turning around saying "It would be best if I just go, ya know?" I finished giving him puppy dog eyes. "I mean I will probably not get in all that much trouble anyway's" I said "And if I do, then I will blame you, ok?" I added with a grin of my face.

"Ok fine but if you get in any trouble then I am turning myself in", he added as I started to turn away. Again I said 'started' because as I was turning Seth pulled me back in and gave me a small peck on the mouth.

After that small kiss from Seth I walked down to Father Dom's office. When I got there the secretary greeted me and told me that Father Dom was waiting for me. Now either, one of them (the secretary or Father Dom) was psychic or they have met a psychic somewhere that told them that I was coming or else Father Dom doesn't know about me and Seth. Because there is no way that Sister Ernestine could get back here before me and Seth could, so Sister Ernestine was just looking for me to tell me that Father Dom was looking for me and that was why she told Seth to go back to lunch.

Now, here she has me thinking that she hates my guts and only wants me to get in trouble.

Anyway, I walked into Father Dom's office and caught him playing with a game-boy from his drawer of all the confiscated toys. "Well Father Dom, having fun?" I said with just a hint of sarcasm

"Oh, Susannah I wasn't expecting you so soon.", Father Dom said while quickly pushing the toy back into the drawer.

"I noticed" I said almost laughing out load. Well you are probably wondering why I found this so funny. Well usually every time I come in here I find a toy to play with. One time I had picked that toy and well, Father Dom gave me something to read, and well to make a long story short I gave the game boy to him to play with while I was reading, and lets just say that I found it very hard to continue talking to him because of a little game someone got addicted to-not mentioning and any names (coughFatherDomcough).

Anyway back on topic. "You wanted to see me?" I asked, hoping I was giving him a 'I'm innocent' look.

"Yes I just wanted to see how things were going with the plane crash victims?" Last week a plane went down on the US side of the border separating Canada and the USA. There were 50 people killed and like a traffic jam in my bedroom , I had to send half of them over to Father Dom (I would have sent some over to Paul but he was on vacation and spending time with his family at the hotel, and come on I may have said that he changed some but it's Paul we are talking about he can't change that much, he would probably just shift them all into Shadowland rather then bother with them).

"Ok, most of them were just wondering about other family members that were on the plane with them. Once I checked that out and reunited them with each other they left".

"Oh, well that's good". Father Dom said with some disappointment in his voice. Shish, I thought that he was just bored over the summer but, by the sound of it, he really wants some ghost problem to keep him occupied. Well I'm glad that my almost near death experiences keep him entertained.

"So how were the ghosts that you got?" I asked him knowing that his were just as boring as mine.

Wait, back-up there did I just say that ghosts that are easy to get rid of are boring? I have to be out of it. They used to be my favourite kind of ghost. Jesse and Father Dom must have really gotten to me. Jesse would be laughing his head off right now if he were still here.

"Well the same" he said looking bored and like he just wanted to go back to playing his game boy. "Are you done? Are they all moved on peacefully?" He said looking me straight in the eye like he was daring me to tell him that I exorcised them or just shifted them all to Shadowland. I rolled my eyes and said, "Of course they are all moved on peacefully". I gave him a look that said 'duh' and 'I can't believe you thought that I would do something like that' which was a lie because I did do something like that with once...twice...ok three ghosts and myself. First one was Heather Chambers, who was trying to kill her boyfriend who had broken up with her. Because he freaked out when they went shopping and she pointed out a engagement ring (nice gal right?). Then it was myself that got exorcised so I could save Jesse when his (Jesse's) ex-fiancé told Jack that Jesse was bothering me and he would actually be doing me a favour-a total lie, at that time I was totally in love with Jesse. And the last two ghosts that I exorcised that same night were Jesse's ex-fiancé Maria (who by the way had Jesse killed) and the guy that killed Jesse Felix Diego (who was Maria's husband before they died). So really that's all, I don't get where he gets off thinking like that. "But I'm not done with them I still have a couple left" I also said to him and then by the look of his face I quickly said "but I have it all under control they just don't know why they are still here."

We talked for a little bit longer and then I left him to his game-boy (not that I actually said that because if I did I would so get a glaring of a lifetime from Father Dom, and believe me it would not be pretty).

After I walked out the door the bell rang so I never did get the chance to talk to Seth and tell him that I never got in trouble so there would be no need to turn himself in. After school he had already left (either that or I just couldn't find him) and I had to leave to go home or else Dopey would leave without me. When I got home I ran up to my room and shut my door. I dropped my book-bag at the end of my bed and flopped down on my bed. As soon as my head hit the pillow, I screamed. I was so happy that finally Seth wasn't avoiding me any more and liked me back the whole time. When I lifted my head from the pillow, the phone rang and I jumped off my bed and answered it on the second ring. "Hello Simon-Anchormen residents" I said into the phone.

"Hi, Suze?" a familiar voice said back to me.

"Yes"

"Hey, Suze it's Seth". Ah, that's probably why it sounded familiar.

"Oh, hey Seth" I said with a big smile on my face thankful that he couldn't see me because I probably looked retarded. "I was looking for you at the end of the day, but couldn't find ya anywhere".

"Yeah the same here. Only I was looking for you not me" he said and I laughed "so how did it go with the principal?"

"Oh it was fine, he was actually looking for me about something for the student government meetings, so I never got in trouble" I said thinking we haven't even said whether or not we are going out and already I am lying to him.

"Are you sure?" he said in a laughing voice.

"I wouldn't lie to you" I said guilty hoping that he wouldn't pick up on it. I mean I really don't plan on telling him about the whole I-see-dead-people thing anytime soon.

"Alright then, well about today, where does that leave us?" he said sounding embarrassed.

"Well... I hope that, that leaves us going out" I said waiting for how he would take it. "Or ya know if you don't want-"

"No I want to" he said cutting me off. I gave a quiet sigh of relief that he wanted to go out. " Do you want to do something on Friday night if you're not doing anything?" he asked me.

"Well you know I have a lot of stuff, I am just so busy. I don't know if I would have any time for you" I said with a hint of sarcasm on my voice, because the truth was I have nothing planned and I just wanted to see what his reaction was.

"Oh, well then, I guess I will see you-" he started to say but I cut him off.

"I'm joking! I would love to go out with you on Friday" I said laughing.

"Well then, after that I'm not so sure I want to take you out anymore" he said and me thinking that he meant it said,

"Oh I'm so sorry I-" but I stopped when he started to laugh with what I think was, his head off. "Hey- don't do that" I said joining him laughing. After a while we stopped and he said, "So we are on for Friday night?"

"Well..."

"Suzzzzzze" he said dragging my name out. "Do we have to go through this again?"

"No" I said letting out a small giggle. What did I just giggle? Oh man I must be really losing it. "So where are we going?"

"Well, that's for me to know and for you to find out on Friday. Just dress nice and be ready at 6:00, ok?

"Ok" we talked for a little bit longer and then Andy called me down for supper. When I was washing the dishes after supper my mom came in and I told her about the date. She was probably more excited than me by it. After I was done and my mother was calmer than when I had told her, I ran up to my room and called CeeCee. She was with my mom on this (about being excited) and told me that we (Seth and I) looked so cute together, yadda, yadda, yadda and so on. After I was done talking to CeeCee I started my homework, when I was halfway through my calculus homework I received another call, and guess who it was from? You probably guessed either Seth or Paul and for those who guessed Paul, well you were right, it was Paul. So much for trying to avoid him. Anyway our conversation went like this:

me: "Hello"

Paul: "Hi Suze?"

me: "Yeah... Paul?"

Paul: "Yep, um I was just wondering if you still wanted to learn shifter stuff?"

me: "Um..."

I know what you are probably thinking either 'yeah Suze go for it, you said he has changed. It might even be fun and plus you could learn about shifters' and the other half are probably thinking 'Omygod, why would you even think about it, remember your feet, don't forget your feet. Screw shifters, think about your feet!' but well I am thinking along the lines of the first group of people and he haaas changed, so I said:

me: "Sure"

Paul: "Really...?"

me: "Yeah sure"

and then we talked the when and where: tomorrow at his place. And just as we were hanging up I said "just as friends right Paul?"

"Yeah just as friends" he said with a change of tone in his voice. I wasn't sure what the tone was but I had a feeling I would find out soon enough. And with that I hung up the phone and went back to my homework.

A/N: so ends another chapter of my story. And I am so sorry that it took so long but those who read my profile page know the reason, and those who haven't read my profile page, well if you want to know go read it. Ok now for questions: 1. Do you guys want more ghost stuff? And if the answer is yes tell me some ideas (I have left some ghost that haven't been mediated yet in the plane crash for ghost I can use(so if you have any ideas)did that make any since?). And second question Who do you think Suze will end up with? And 3rd do you guys have any ideas for my or suggestions for my story? Ok now end of questions and don't think that I forgot about the journal I assure you I have not. Oh and 1 more thing anyone really good at prof reading stuff and wants to prof read this let me know in the review and a plus for them is they get to see the chapter before anyone else and if you want anymore fluff well I will just say that my mom is doing my prof reading (I know, I know-bows head in sham) and well I am not I repeat I am not writing fluff chapters and letting my mom read it-talk about embarrassing.

Oh and when they were talking about feet I did not mean Pauls foot fetish (I have no idea who made that up or what it is so could you please tell me, yeah I am talking about when she got mushroom feet escaping from Paul.

so um review please
