Chapter 4
Thanks for the reviews!
Paul's POV
I thought about my plan, and the more I think about it the more stupid it seems. Suze is never going to think that Jesse is cheating on her, she trusts him – and vice versa. I need to do something big; I need a plan that is fool proof. When I get home from school, I will check out Grandpa gork's shifting books, hopefully there will be something in there, after all Jesse is a mediator, Suze is a shifter, and so am I .
But in the mean time, I should stop staring at Suze, and actually pay attention before I fail this class.
School just let out
"Hey Paul, do you want to do something today" Suze asked cheerfully.
I knew I said I would look at Grandpa's shifter books at home today, but an afternoon with Suze? That was too hard to resist.
"Sure, let's go." I replied
Suze's POV
We got to Paul's house and I ran up the stairs, with Paul right behind me. I know it sounds weird, but after me and him became friends, his house didn't creep me out anymore, I actually came over here a lot to hang out. Of course, when I wasn't with Jesse. I've even tried to get Adam and CeeCee to hang out with Paul and me, but after I told them the whole story, they both wanted nothing to do with Paul.
But today I wanted to talk to Paul about Jesse and the fact that he was jealous. Paul has always been a great listener.
Paul's POV
"Paul, I want to talk to you about something." Suze said.
"Sure, go ahead." I replied.
"It's Jesse." She said simply.
To say I was shocked was an understatement. Talk about him? Him? While we were here? She must have been out of her mind, to say the least. But instead of yelling at her, I told her to keep going.
"Well, see, Jesse's jealous." She said uncomfortably "He thinks you still like me, and he is wondering if you are hitting on me."
I was speechless.
"And I was wondering if you still liked me, liked me." She blushed.
How was I supposed to answer that? I opted for a lie.
So I told her I didn't, and she immediately let out a sigh of relief.
Then we both started talking about school, our friends, teachers, shifting, ghosts, and even Jesse. But after two hours, Suze had to go home for dinner. I drove her home, and on the way back from her house, I got an idea. To find out how to break them up, I had to become friends with Jesse. I had to learn his biggest fears, and I had to learn what would tare them apart. I almost laughed; this was going to work, after all Paul Slater can be very persuasive.
