Summary: Jennifer De Silva is like your normal, typical, over-ambitious and highly intelligent teenager. There's only a few things wrong with her life: She doesn't have a boyfriend, her whole family are keeping secrets from her AND she can talk to ghosts.
Disclaimer: I don't own the Mediator BUT I DO own several of the characters i.e. the next generations of DeSilvas, McTavishes, Slaters, Ackermans etc. AND I own this amazing plot which might have been used before by someone else but I dunno…whatever

Normally, I am a very good girl and I never swear-except for exceptional circumstances and you've got to admit-yesterday was definitely an exceptional circumstance. I mean, Vice President? So not expected!
I wonder who voted for you…
It's kinda obvious
Who? Oh….oh!
Duh!
I feel sorry for the guy…when will he realise that you just don't want him?
And that you do
I don't fancy Zack Ackerman!
Um…yes you do
-Glares at so-called friends-
LOL
Who do you like, Oddie?
I don't like anyone
Sure…
Well if you really want to know, I'm liking the look of the new guy sitting next to Zack
Ooh! Hottie Alert!
Looks like Rookie's forgotten all about Zack
Oddie!
What new guy? I can't see anything! Rookie, your gigantic head is blocking the way!
There, can you see now?
Isn't he gorgeous?
Jen? Jen?
Top 5 Hotties In School
Compiled by Brooke Mctavish with commentary by Jennifer De Silva and Odette Ackerman
The New Guy A.K.A , according to Odette Miss Gossip Queen, Lucas we don't know his surname yet. I've gotta admit-he's very, very hot. I mean look at those eyes! They send shivers down my spine. And now she's turning love-sick. Hey! But I've gotta agree-he's perfect! Hair which actually isn't gelled thank god there's one sane guy in the world, stunning light-blue eyes and you said I was being love-sick and a fit, fit body!
Blue Wonder. Okay, so maybe he has possibly the strangest name ever, but I've gotta agree. Half the girls in school are after him. Including Oddie. Hey! I am not in love with Danny Wonder! Even though he is totally cute…I wonder how tall he is...but he has a crush on stupid Celine! Celine's your sister! Do I look like I care?
Laurence Scott. No comment. You're just saying that cos he cheated on you with Tammy. –Ignores Oddie and turns to Rookie- I don't think he should be on the list. Hello? Have you seen that six pack? Ooh, he could get me into be- Oddie! –d anytime!
Zack Ackerman. You've got to be kidding me. I kinda agree. He isn't exactly the one of the cutest guys in school-I can think of loads more guys who are definitely hotter. Rookie, you just put him on the list cos you like him. Face the facts-he isn't cute. Even though I've heard he's very good in bed. You're so obsessed with it. –Acts innocent- What? It. What? You know what I'm talking about! If you mean hamburgers then, no. You're annoying me
Ollie Adams isn't he a darling? I don't fancy him though! Okay, I do…a bit…but not as much as Zack…oops Um…Rookie…Ollie's hot and everything it's just that…he's gay. Well, isn't that nice! I just got straight to the point-you were going round and round the bush but reaching no where. I hate to admit it, but Oddie's right, Rookie-he's going out with Peter Wilson.

NEW E-MAIL
To: Jennifer De Silva
From: Zack Ackerman
Dear Jen and co,
You asked me for info on the new guy I'm so glad Jen, that you asked me!. Well, here it is:
His name is Lucas Romeo Slater and he's a Senior here at the Mission. His parents are Kelly Prescott Slater and Paul Slater, former pupils at this wonderful school of ours. He was President in his old school and is already very popular with the girls A few including Oddie's sister, Celine. He has a sister, Amber Slater, who has become very popular with us boys but don't worry Jen-I haven't looked in her direction; I'm so mad about you.
Lucas likes swimming, flirting, reading and is very clever a straight-A student. He likes girls who are gorgeous you are and clever also you! I hope he doesn't take you away from me!. He doesn't like dumb-but-pretty girls like Celine no offense to Oddie or anything.
Lucas moved here because his great grandfather died and Lucas' dad inherited the huge mansion and Lucas also called Luke by his close friends said he has a huge bedroom which has a huge bed which makes it easier to…you know, but don't worry, he was only joking. He isn't a perv or anything...I don't think.
Anyway, if you have any more questions and if you need any help, remember that I'll always be there for you
Lots of love,
Zack

5:00 pm. At home
I swear I've heard the name Slater before.
I eavesdropped on Mum and Dad one day when they were in the kitchen and what I heard was:
MUM: I'm sorry, Jesse, I'm really sorry
DAD: Susannah I don't know what to say
MUM: I didn't mean to! I was forced!
DAD: Really? You didn't want to?
MUM: Yes, Jesse! Please! Believe me!
DAD: I can't believe that Slater
MUM: Neither can I Jesse, neither can I
DAD: I want to kill him!
MUM: Jesse, it's okay, seriously-he was only a bit drunk
DAD: More like a lot
MUM: (Whispering) Should we tell the kids?
DAD: (Also whispering) No. Maybe when they're older and they understand everything. But now, they're too young
MUM: I'm sorry, Jesse
DAD: It wasn't your fault, Susannah, the blame belongs to Slater
I didn't get what they meant then but now, I'm not sure.
When people get drunk they often do crazy things I wouldn't actually know having never been drunk I think so…what if this Paul Slater nearly killed mum?
But no.
Kenny and I would've been able to understand that.
Whatever it was, was something a lot more adult, like drugs or…sex.
Wait, what did Dad say when he and Mum were coming out of the kitchen?
Think, Jen, think!
"No wonder Kenny doesn't look anything like me…"
Oh.
My.
God.
