Chapter 2-

Black and White have Never Been My Thing

"Suze, get up!" Mom shouted from the downstairs. I jumped out of bed, threw on my usual grey skirt and shirt. I wore jeans underneath the skirt, but our school had this thing with jeans. Oh well. What they can't see won't hurt them. Well, unless it's a ghost. Then you have a slight problem.

Gina and Emily were off haunting someone else's house. Dad was gone too; I had my room to myself. Grabbing my lap top bag and back pack, I ran out of my room and down the stairs, hoping to beat her today.

Luck doesn't seem to exist, however. She grabbed me by my shirt and threw me against the wall. Before she could do anything else, the door bell rang. I ran right past her and past a startled Andy.

I even kept on running down the hill. Though, after being twenty feet from my house, I slowed to a walk. After all, there was no way I was running all the way to school, psychopath mother or no. Just as I had started walking, I noticed a car driving by.

"Get in!" Jesse's voice commanded. I turned to him. He parked his car.

"Make me." The moment the words came out of my mouth, I regretted them. Jesse was out of the car in a flash. I, as soon as I noticed what was happening, tried to run, but it was already too late. He put his arms around my waist as I kicked and cursed. Pulling something out of his back pocket, the guy actually had the nerve to tie me up. ME.

Jesse opened the passenger side door and threw me in. I would have gotten out then and there, but I couldn't untie myself. He was good at tying knots!

As he got back in the car and started it up again, I desperately tried to untie myself. I had even resorted to using my mouth to try to bite it off when Jesse pulled into the school.

"We're here," Jesse stated. He jumped out of the car and came around, pulling me out by the tied up hankerchief. Hankerchief? No one carries one of those around these days. Jesse must have noticed me staring.

"You never know when you may have to tie someone up," he said with a sly grin. I shook my head. He was really getting on my nerves. He pulled me through the building, and I heard whispers beginning. It was the first day of the new semester, and everyone already wanted gossip. Now they had me to talk about. Great.

"Dude, Jesse already claimed the new girl."

"Does that mean she's off-limits? She looks hot."

Those were only a few.

When we entered an office area, Jesse threw me on a couch next to a boy. He then walked into the principle's office.

"Hey, my name's Suze. Do you think you could untie me, please?" I begged the boy next to me. He laughed loudly,a nd the secretary gave him an odd look.

"Adam, please keep it down," she said. He smiled at her and then turned to me.

"I'm Adam. Jesus, Suze, Jesse sure knows how to tie a knot!" Adam complained as he worked on the knot without success. Ten minutes later he leaned back in defeat.

"Jesse'll have to untie you," he finally stated sourly. Jesse and the principle, Father Dominic, picked then to walk out of his office.

"Speak of the devil," I muttered under my breath. Jesse came and sat down on the other side of me.

"Why, Adam, may I ask, were you trying to utie my victim?" Jesse asked. Adam laughed at that, she secretary chuckled, and even Father Dominc cracked a smile.

Five minutes later, we were both walking out of the office and towards our homeroom. It was a good thing we got there really early.

"Next time, I won't untie you, and you'll be my permanent slave," he muttered darkly under his breath. I rolled my eyes as we entered the classroom.

I am going to use the same class as she had in the book, even though here she is a senior. Sorry it is so short. I am really rushed and scatterbrained. Please review, and I will update faster!
