"ok guys here I go, I'm going in, no turning back now" Buffy drew back a
breath and took a step into the doorway and quickly turned back. "Do I have
to?" she looked pleadingly at her friends. "Come on buff, its not so bad."
Xander said fighting to hide his smile which by the way he was failing.
Xander was one of Buffy's best friends with the warpest of humours, he used
to have a crush but Buffy was pretty sure he was over it. "Buffy I have
done this many times before and you don't see me being all scared and
pleady. You fight monsters every night how bad is this really?" Willow said
encouragingly. Willow was her other best friend. She was smart, talented
and really shy but she was a good person with a major crush on Xander.
"This will humiliate me and I'll never live it down."
"Go" They said in unison and pushed her into the room. "I can do this, I
can do this, I'm the slayer. Ok here it goes." She walked over to the
counter and took another big breath. "Giles?" She called.
"Hmmm?" came a voice from the office of the library. Giles was shock horror
involved in a big old must book. How unusual Buffy thought to herself.
Giles was her watcher who was as British as you could get – in America
anyway. He was also her school librarian. "Yes, sorry Buffy I was a bit
entranced by this anushia book of demons and their spawn, quite interesting
actually."
"Ah Giles?" Buffy said impatiently "want to come out of hell mouth world
for just a minute, I need to ask you something serious."
"Oh ok ask away, is there trouble? Has someone died?"
"No it's much worse. I need, I need..........."
"Buffy I'm here for you whatever the problem"
"I need to borrow a book" Buffy held her breath scared go the reaction and
not to her surprise Giles burst out laughing. "Should I buy a lottery
ticket?" he asked in the middle of laughs. "You are a cruel man." She
answered coldly as she stalked off towards the many bookshelves.
She arrived in the cafeteria to see Willow and Xander chatting while picking at each others food. She always wondered if they would get together some time but soon realised she was the big complication in that. Stupid Xander and his stupid crush. It wasn't her fault that she loved Angel, but then again who could resist that chest "mmmmm." She murmured. Buffy shook her head and got weird stares from surrounding people. Dirty Angel thoughts later she thought to herself, she needed to concentrate on school and school related things. Yet her mind kept thinking of him.......... "Buffy" a voice called her out of her thoughts. "Huh?" "Umm buffy you've been standing for like 20 mins staring into space" Willow asked concerned. "Oh sorry I was just thinking...." She trailed of. "Angel thoughts?" Willow had a smile on her face when she looked at her friend's dreamy face once more. "How'd you know?" Buffy asked "You're smiling, blushing and extremely happy." Buffy put her head down in fake shame. "Ok ok you got me" Buffy held her hands up in surrender. :"so when are you seeing him next?" "Tonight we are err patrolling together" trying to sound convincing. "Hmmm sure I'm sure that's what you'll be doing." Willow walked over to Xander to talk chat and laugh as usual. Except Buffy still couldn't wait for tonight when she and Angel would be 'Patrolling'.
