The Mediator : Showtime

(A/N: i'm baaaack.)
Chapter 15
Suze's POV

I looked up at Jesse, horrified beyond belief.

I pushed Derek off violently and sat up.

Jesse's shock had completely disappeared. Instead, his face was wiped of all emotion.

"I'm sorry for… interrupting things," he said in a monotone voice and dematerialized.

Derek sat up and rubbed his head as I sat there cursing silently.

Why me?

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jesse's POV

"Susannah?"

She was lying underneath Derek in a position I would not call innocent. At my voice, her head snapped around.

She wore an expression of horror as she flushed and pushed Derek off of her who sprawled onto the floor. She would not meet my eyes.

And suddenly, all emotion was pulled from me. I said dully, "I'm sorry for… interrupting things."

I dematerialized into her backyard. I walked through to a large bunch of trees. Not enough to be considered a wood, but enough that one could hide within the large tree trunks.

This was my favorite place other than the bay window in Susannah's room. When I grew bored, I would come back here and listen to the birds, watch the shadows and the moon.

I sat down on my favorite rock, looking up at the clouds.

My mind went back to the scene I had just entered and left.

Further proof that she did not like me.

I mentally kicked myself for thinking I would ever have a chance with her. She saw me as a friend, a brother. Nothing more.

And this realization kicked me in the stomach and left itself embedded in there.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Suze's POV

AAAARGH.

Why, why, WHY? That was so embarrassing. And he left before I could tell him that I tripped!

"So," Derek asked from my floor. "You want to continue with that?"

"Continue with what?" I spat.

"This," he said and pushed me back on my bed, completely surprising me.

And then he kissed me.

Oh, my GOD!

But… you know… this isn't that bad at all.

Mmm… his lips were so nice… he's so good at kissing… and he was… he was…

TURNING IT INTO A FULL-FLEDGED FRENCH.

I ripped my mouth away and pushed him off me yet again.

"What the hell?" he cried, standing up.

"Get away from me," I said coldly.

His eyes narrowed, but he promptly dematerialized.

I fell back on my bed and closed my eyes.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Suze's POV (yet again)

I opened my locker and grabbed my stuff before slamming it closed.

Last night, Jesse didn't come back. I had fallen asleep half and hour after Derek had left, and the result was that I looked like shit this morning.

I had to rush to clean my face and get downstairs to eat breakfast. I was so late that I had to jump into the car while Sleepy was pulling out of the driveway.

I almost ripped my cute leather mini and snagged my green sweater set on the car door.

Yes, green. I felt like having a change.

Damn you, Sleepy!

I sat there fuming and turned the volume on my iPod up full-blast the whole ride to school. When Sleepy parked, I practically shoved Dopey out of my way and stalked towards my lockers.

I was about to walk off when I spotted Cee Cee but before I could make a move, something caught my attention out of the corner of my eye.

A door, to be precise.

A shaking mahogany door.

That, if I'm correct, will fling itself open and squish something behind it.

That something being the one and only Kelly – the number one most popular girl in my class.

Not only that, she was kneeling on the floor, picking up a sheaf of papers she had just accidentally dropped.

And her head was going to be the first thing that door would hit.
