Chapter 1
Mrs. Valern stalked around the classroom while everyone was taking their tests. The language arts teacher grinned at some people's tests and frowned at other's. She couldn't believe how little these 16 years old paid attention. Before she could think anymore, the bell sung its joyous melody and everyone ran towards the door.
"Not so fast! I need to speak to a couple of you teens. Buffy, Ryan, Harold, and Missy come over to my desk," the teacher ordered seeing the chosen scowled sadly. She saw the teens all huddled around her desk. "Now kids, I notice that you all have been failing my class and I do not like people failing especially failing in the thirties," she started eying Ryan. He shrunk under her glare.
"It is not our fault that you stink on how to teach us," Missy replied. She hated this class the most of her eight classes.
Mrs. Valern seemed like she was about to explode for a moment, but luckily kept her cool. "Missy, I am not a bad teacher. It is that you do not pay attention. I am going to give you four a second chance by giving you a book report. You do not have to do it but if you do then I want it by next Friday," the over worked teacher replied giving each child a piece of paper. "This is the story I want you to make a report on," she continued giving everyone a pass so they won't be tardy.
Oh great, I get to do one on a stupid book called The Wars of Evil. Mom is going to force me to do it. I doomed. Buffy thought praying her mom won't force her to do it.
"Buffy Anne Summers, I can't believe you are failing Language Arts!" her mother hollered just as the person she screamed at put her foot through the threshold. Her mother is good. Mrs. Valern must have called her while she was in school.
"Buffy, you can't fail now! Ours lives have just begun again after your father's and mine's divorce and I can't have you doing this," Joyce started wondering why Hank had to leave. He didn't know what kind of pressure he put on Buffy.
"I don't know why, Mom. I just am. The teacher gave us a book report so we can bring it up," the teenager answered knowing what her mother was going to do.
"Well, you are going to have to do the report then. I do not want to hear any protest young lady. You are doing it," Joyce replied stopping the argument that Buffy was going to do with her mouth dropping towards the floor.
Buffy just stormed into her room after that discussion wondering why her. She does not know that this was a beginning to an adventure filled with danger, magic, and maybe even love.
