I do not own Buffy the Vampire Slayer or Rent
Chapter One
Buffy Summers sighed and looked at her Aunt Joyce Summers. Buffy was moving to Sunnydale with her and saying she was her mother. She had to move from New York alphabet city with all the pain that is there of ones she lost that she loved, her mother, Angel, Roger and Mimi. Joyce looked at Buffy concerend her niece was 19 and finishing up schoool for her friends that have passed and she was glad but she was worried about her. She knew that Buffy was older in her matruity and thinking then most nineteen year olds and that worried her, she hoped she could relax and be kid even if it is just for a year. She glanced at a sign and looked back at Buffy brieftly.
"We will be there in 10 mintues and it will take us ten more minutes to get to the house" Joyce said. She was glad that Buffy agreed to go with her she was actually shocked and she knew her sister Melinda would be happy for her daughter. She knew also how hard it would be for Buffy to live the kind of life she will have here where she doesn't have to steal electricty and such and live a normal and not bohemian life.
"Okay" Buffy commented. She looked down at her clothes they were what she couldn't give up. She was dressed in a pair of black leggings and a denimi mini skirt and a red top and she had on black high heeled stellito boots. Her blond hair was down and curled and she had it long it went to the middle of her back and her make up was done dark. "Do I really have to start school today?"
They would get there at 5 that morning and Buffy was to be in school at 6. "Yes you do that was what the school asked for" Joyce said. The school knew of her situation and they wouldn't tell the other students which would make life eaiser for Buffy. "So we can stop by the house and you can work on your room for a half a hour and then we will head out" she said as she drove down the streets. "Here is the house" she said when she pulled in the driveway and stoped the car.
Buffy got out and looked over the house as she grabbed her bag and slammed the car door. She took it all in it would be the first house she ever lived in. She has always lived in that same loft across the hall from Mark, Roger, Collins, and Benny one floor up from Mimi. "It is different" she said as she walked up the front porch behind Joyce.
"I hope you will like it" Joyce said as she unlocked the front door and walked in. She was here a few weeks ago and had all the rooms set up other then Buffy's she left that up to her. "I will show you your room and we can get your bags" she said. She had moved all her stuff in a few weeks ago. She led Buffy up the stairs and made a left and opened the bedroom door. The room had boxes all over it and her bed was in the middle of the room. "I left it like this so you can decide how you want it" she said. "I will be in my room putting my stuff away and then I will be able to help you." She left the room and headed down the hall into hers as she unpacked her small suitcase. She hoped that Buffy would be happy here but she knew it would take a period of adjustment.
After she left Buffy looked around. It was a nice room the walls were wallpapered in a biege and white stripe that was horizontal. She decided to get her bags first and left the room and hurried out to the car and grabbed two and brought them back in. As she walked up the steps she ran into Joyce. "There is four more left" she said and went and put the bags in her room. She saw Joyce coming down the hall with two more suitcases and Buffy hurried and got the last two and came back in.
"I will get you in a half hour and we can go" Joyce said and left Buffy to her room. Buffy was a quiet girl well at least around here in this new place but in New York she was more different out going. She knew that she couldn't stop Buffy from taking up her old job of stripper but she hoped that she could find another job.
Buffy watched her go and worked on the bed first. She checkedout the room and decided to put it under the windows like her bed was in New York. She looked thorugh the boxes and found her bedding and made her bed. She next put on her beads in the doorway that was in her bedroom door back in the loft. She put out her pictures next on the nightstand on either side of the bed. And the other furinature in the room was a dresser and a vanity with a mirror and a whicker chair. She would do her clothes later and she got everything else out and by the time Joyce came and got her the room was like it was back home for her the only thing different is the wallpaper. "I will put my clothes away later" she said and grabbed her bag.
"Okay you can do it when you feel like it no rushing" Joyce said. "I put a laptop in your room I mean if you ever want to use it, it is ready for you." She knew that Buffy never had a computer and wasn't sure the girl would even want one.
"Thank you but I really don't know to much technolgy giver me a phone and answer machine and stove and washing machine and dryer and tv and stero that is all I can work. Thank you for teaching me how to use the mini phone you got me the rest of the stuff in the house I can figure out easy" Buffy said. She knew how to work most of the stuff but somethings the like VCR and DVD player and computers she had no idea how to.
"You just let me know when you need help figuring something out" Joyce said. She drove them to the school and parked and stopped the car. "Well lets go and talk to the princple they are also going with the story I am your mother."
"Okay" Buffy said softly and watched the other students. She would be the oldest one there and felt it in age and in mind and spirit.
"Do you have your AZT?" Joyce asked. She knew Buffy took it everyday at 3 and it was important for her to, it would keep the HIV in check and delay it from turning into AIDs as long as possible.
"Yeah I never forget it" Buffy pulled it out of her bag. She got out of the car and sighed and looked at her aunt before they walked inside Sunnydale High together. She felt eyes on her and could hear whispers.
She was the new girl and all the students were buzzing about her. Some thought she looked hot and others thougth she looked like a freak. That is the whispers William "Spike" Giles walked into the school hearing with his friends Xander Harris, and Willow Rosenberg. He saw a guy he knew Oz and waved him over. "Why is everyone whispering mate?"
"New girl" Oz said and shrugged.
"New girl" Xander said and grinned. "Is she hot?"
"Yeah she is cute" Oz said and glanced at Willow. He had a crush on the red head for a year now and in his opinion the new girl had nothing on the beautiful smart red head.
"Well maybe this school can get interesting with a new girl" Spike smirked. He was a outcast in the school same as his friends but he and the others didn't care. They liked who they are and they were the best of friends. "Wonder if the girl will be like us or like them" he rolled his eyes and pointed toward Cordelia Chase and Angelus "Angel" O'Connor.
"I hope she is nice" Willow said. She would love another girl in the group to be friends with someone she could talk to about things that you can't talk to boys about.
"She looked sad" Oz said. He always looked into a person eyes and hers looked sad and old he noticed as she passed him by.
"We should try and make friends when we see her" Willow said and the others were ready to agree when they heard the bell. They hurried to their lockers so they could get to their first class of the day without detention, Willow was the only one that cared about dention the guys did it to humor her.
As he bell rang Buffy and Joyce were sitting down in front of the princple, Princple Synder who looked liked a rat. "Well Miss. Summers I have read you history and what you completed of school so far. You are behind and will have to work to catch up. I am not going to lie and say I won't be watching you I will" he said.
"But is that fair to treat her like she is different" Joyce spoke up defending her niece now daughter.
"She is different and I have to make sure that things go smoothly" he said coldly. "Now here is her schedule locker number and such. Now it is time for her to get class" he said leading them out of his office and went back into his office shutting the door behind him.
"I will see you at home after school" Joyce said. "You remember how to get there?"
"Yeah I will be fine walking. I can remeber directions easy I am a New Yorker remember. If I can walk through the streets I did I can handle Sunnydale" Buffy said to her aunt and sighed. "I will see you at home later on" she said and turned and walked out of the office. She looked at her schedule as she walked into the near empty hallway as she searched for her room she heard the warning and bell and sighed. "Great late on the first day" she said to herself. Finaly she located the room and knocked before going on.
"You must be the newest member of the class welcome" the woman smiled welcomly. Buffy stepped in farther not glancing at anyone. "Everyone this is Buffy Summers tell us a bit about you."
Buffy mentaly reviewed what she would keep to herself. "Well as you just heard the names Buffy Summers and I am from New York. I am nineteen and a senior and that is all that is important to know."
"Wow you must be dumb to still be in school" a brunette snicked from the back that caused most everyone else to laugh along with her. Buffy glared at the girl and kept the ass kicking inside of her.
"No princess I had to drop out to get a job to help my mother but a girl like you the only thing you worry about is do I look good today you couldn't make it in my world" Buffy said harshly.
The teacher stepped in quickly. "Miss. Summers you can sit next to Miss. Rosenberg" she pointed to a seat in the back next to a redhead. Buffy walked to the seat and sat down and looked ahead.
"Hi I am Willow" the red head turned to her and smiled and held out her hand.
"Buffy" Buffy shook the red heads hand. She wasn't sure she was ready to make friends here. She wondered what Joanne, Maureen, Collins, and Benny and Mark were doing at that moment, she missed them so much they were more then friends they were her family.
"How about I show you around?" Willow offered.
"Sure I need to get to learn the place" Buffy said glad that someone was nice enough to offer. For the rest of the class she took notes trying and when she got bored she kept telling her this was for the ones that did not make it to live to see another day. At the end of the class Willow showed her, her next class, it seemed theyhad all classes together. When it was time for lunch Willow told Buffy she could sit with her and her friends and she agreed.
After getting her lunch which was just a piece of fruit and a drink. She was use to not eating a lot heck going without food period.
"This way" Willow said to Buffy after she had her tray of food. She led Buffy over to the table and sat down and smiled as Buffy sat next to her. Willow could tell what Oz met that morning, Buffy had a guard up but her green eyes just screamed out her emotions, at times she was sad, other times happy when lost in thought, other times she looked angry for no reason. "Guys this is Buffy Summers. Buffy that is Xander Harris, Oz Ozborne, and Spike Giles."
"Hi" Buffy shook hands with them each. When she got to Spike she shook his hand and felt a shock go through her body. The last time she felt that she was 15 and met her first love Micheal. He was the one that got her into the life she knew of drugs, unprotected sex with him, and her stripping. She felt like she had to get away it was to dangerous to feel like this.
