Prologue
Olivia opened her eyes to the glow of the sun as it touched her features in the wee hours of the morning. Her dreams far behind her and her thoughts of the unimaginable stranger in those dreams lost as she touched the hardwood floor. So, many things could be told about Olivia by just glancing at her. She had waist length black hair and the bluest of eyes that they could be easily mistaken for sapphires, her red full lips and button nose, a slim figure and legs that seemed to go on forever. She had fire in her eyes and yet a spirit that could and had been easily broken countless times. Olivia pranced around her apartment, hoping that her roommate Tara had not used all the hot water this morning, per usual. She slowly went into her mechanical routine of shower, brush, floss, blow dry and repeat as needed. She couldn't help but smile at her reflection in the full length mirror in her room. She knew that this would be a new beginning, a new beginning for her and a new beginning for a small town called Sunnydale.
She was starting her freshman year at UC Sunnydale with an open mind and an open heart. She knew that it was about time to leave good old Philadelphia behind and make a new life of her own. Olivia new that in the 19 years of her existence that she had seen everything, the mayhem of a new store opening and a good Philly Cheese Stake not to mention the death of her mother in front of her eyes by her good old dad Henry Mason. Olivia knew that her past would bite her in the ass one day, with getting into college, during high school with such teasing and the regular counselor visits really didn't help her reputation. That's when she had met Tara, an instant connection to bad she wasn't gay because if she was she'd so be with her. No matter what life through at her, Tara stood by her when the kids taunted her about her dead mother and psychotic father or when she needed a shoulder to cry on, she had been there. Tara in some sense was her family, no other connections were needed just Tara and her shy demeanor and Liv and her out right spite fire demeanor made them an unlikely pair.
Olivia walked into the kitchen where Tara sat on one of the stools whilst eating a large bowl of Oat Bran.
"How the hell can you eat that?" Olivia grimaced.
"Well, I l-like it Liv, It's healthy and it um…." Tara smiled
"Give you the shits? Jesus, just eat lucky charms like normal people!" Liv laughed and sat next to a now blushing Tara.
"So, how are we going to get through the first day of college, because honestly I don't have any idea where to go or what to do." Tara sighed.
"Well, that's what you have me for! Duh? We already visited the campus at least 3 times and know where our classes are so it's no big, okay?" Olivia smiled reassuringly at her blonde friend.
"Alright well we-e better ge-et going then-n right?"
"Definitely" As Olivia and Tara headed out they walked towards the school which was about a half a block away from their new apartment building. As they entered they saw all the lost faces and awkwardness that is the first day of school and the young minds all waiting for the knowledge to be fed to them, or maybe, just the parties and the large beer keg's.
"Well we're here then, what class do you have first Tara?"
"Um, Psychology with Professor Walsh-h" Tara replied meekly "what do you-u have?"
"Ahh, unfortunately I have Introductory to literature with Professor McDonald. It sounds like it will be my sleeping class." Liv said laughing casually. Both girls went their separate ways and walked to their classes. When lunch finally came around both of them were exhausted. When Tara was walking towards the cafeteria she bumped right into a petite red headed woman.
"Oh! I'm so sorry-y I did not-t se-e you there" Tara blushed profusely and bent down to pick up discarded psych book and her book of spells.
"It's alright, It's just this is all so different you know, new school and it's so big, buzzing bodies everywhere and it's easy to not see where your going." The little red headed smiled lightly and handed Tara her book of spells. "You do magic?" the red head asked quizzically.
"Um…yes a-a bit I'm not-t very-y good" she said nervously.
"It's okay neither am I, Oops! How silly of me I'm Willow, Willow Rosenberg by the way." She held out her hand and Tara shook it gladly.
"I'm Tara, Tara-a McClay, it's-s nice-e to-o meet you-u Will-ow" Tara smiled warmly.
"Well, I better go my friends must be wondering where the heck I am, maybe you could have lunch with us?" Tara blushed and nodded slightly.
"Great, well I'll see you around Tara!" willow gave a little wave and trotted on her way to the cafeteria. Tara thought that this college thing wouldn't be so bad after all.
