Chapter Two: Jesse

We were supposed to go to the beach but Susannah insisted that we stop by the bookstore. I couldn’t help but be amused as her friend Gina protested loudly to this. Brad opted to wait in the car while we went in. I was in need of a book for one of my classes anyway. Susannah and Gina went toward the back of the store while I headed for the medical section.

“Paulie…” The unmistakable whine of Kelly Prescott was enough to send unwanted chills down my spine. “The beach is the other way.”

“This’ll take just a minute babe.” Slater says and I can’t help but wonder if this is by chance. I want to believe Susannah when she says he’s over her… but… the way he looks at her. Though I’m probably just imagining things.

Purchasing the book I need I head in the direction that Susannah and Gina had gone. Looking over the isles I catch a glimpse of Susannah’s chestnut hair. I smile and walk toward them when I hear Gina exclaim loudly.

“You must grasp zee penis!”

I hear a book fall to the floor and Gina laughing. I raise an eyebrow. Grasp the what? Maybe I misunderstood her…

“No more ‘I Love the 90s’ for you.”

I approach closer and turn into the isle they’re in and find Susannah’s face in a book with a large phallus sticking up. Maybe this was a bizarre dare…

“Susannah?” I couldn’t keep the amusement out of my voice. She drops the book but doesn’t turn. “What are you doing?”

Gina, laughing hysterically, stumbles away while Susannah picks up the book and turns to me with an innocent smile, holding it out to me.

“Want some pie balls?”

I can’t help but burst out laughing at her innocent look. “Querida, I think you’ve seen that Juno movie one too many times.”

She just shrugs and puts the book on the shelf, but not before-

“Oh, my God! Suze Simon is a freakin’ sex fiend.” Kelly Prescott exclaims with pure glee. I could practically see the tiny gears in her head turning.

“Yeah, and you’re an airhead who has nothing better to do but spread lies and rumors that won’t last a week.” Susannah snaps turning to face her classmate.

I hear Paul chuckle nearby and am now convinced that this wasn’t a chance meeting. I place a hand on Susannah’s shoulder. “Let’s go querida, she’s not worth it.”

She nods and walks past Kelly, but not before stomping on her foot, turns out Kelly was wearing sandals today.

“Paul! Are you just going to let her get away with that?” Kelly shrieks as we walk away.

“Susannah…”

“I know: violence doesn’t lead to anything.” She says while tossing out her drink. “I just can’t stand her most of the time… all the time”

“I know.” I look over my shoulder and see Paul watching us go. “Let’s go to the beach.”

Gina is leaning against the car with a smug look on her face. Susannah shoots her a suspicious look. “What did you do?”

“Moil? Nothing…”

“Gina.”

“Well, if you count letting the air out of Slater’s tires something. He won’t be following us to the beach unless Kelly wants to walk the five miles…”

I can’t help but snicker as we climb in the car. “Gina, that’s genius if I may say so.”

“Thanks Jesse. He’s a keeper Suze.”

“Yeah,” her gaze meets mine and she winks at me. “He is.”

Fin (?)

AN2- I put the question mark up because I may or may not continue this. Depending on the muse more than anything…
