Buffy the vampire slayer, "Reality Bites."

SCENE TWO-SUNNYDALE HIGH SCHOOL, BEFORE SCHOOL.

[It is the following morning and Buffy is walking along the corridors of Sunnydale High School with another girl. The other girl has long brown red hair and is wearing a simple skirt and sweater. Buffy is wearing a shorter skirt and a tank top, and the other girl is talking excitedly about homework from science.]

Girl: "And I never knew we were going to do dissection this year but-"

Buffy: "Dissection? You mean like cutting things up?"

[The other girl nodded happily.]

Buffy: "Ew, that's gross. I can't believe you're actually excited about that Willow."

Willow: "How can you think it's gross? You see worse things than that most nights when you slay vampires and stuff!"

[Buffy puts her finger to her lips.]

Buffy: "A few decibels less Wil, we don't want the entire school to know."

[A boy comes up and puts his arms around the two girls. He is tall with dark hair.]

Boy: "The whole school to know what?"

Willow: "That you still sleep with your teddy."

Boy [embarrassed]: "I don't sleep with it thanks Willow; it's just on the end of my bed."

Buffy: "Relax Xander, we were just talking about me being the slayer."

Xander: "Oh that. So did you waste any vampires last night?"

[Buffy looks thoughtful before replying.]

Buffy: "Well there was one, but this was really strange- he knew who I was because I've tried to kill him before. Apparently he was one of the vampires when I burnt the gym down back at my old school."

Xander [frowning]: "And what was he doing here?"

Buffy: "He said he came to join the master, and he also said he was the only one who survived the fire, but I don't know."

Willow: "Maybe we should go to the library?"

Xander: "That's your answer for everything- go to the library."

Buffy: "I think she means to see Giles Xander."

Xander: "Of course, I knew that, I was just…never mind, we'll have go in our break though. You can't keep cutting class already Buffy or you'll be out before you know it."

[Buffy sighs, but before she can say anything a few girls walk past. One, who is clearly the leader of the group, is pretty and obviously rich from her outfit.]

Rich girl: "Oh I love that sweater Willow, where did you get it?"

Willow [shocked]: "You do? I mean I got it in-"

Rich girl: "Isn't sarcasm in your dictionary?"

Xander: "Isn't pain in the butt in yours Cordellia? Oh wait, you wouldn't be able to read it anyway."

Cordellia: "You know Buffy you would have been better off sticking with me than with these nerds."

Xander: "I resent being called a nerd."

Cordellia: "Resent away, it's a fact. Come on girls, let's get going."

[They begin to walk off, but Buffy, Willow and Xander can still hear them.]

Cordellia: "You know she's really weird- she bailed me up with a stick once, I thought she was going to kill me."

Willow: "Come on, we better get to class, we're late all ready."

Xander: "I wish you had staked her Buffy. Do you think that maybe she's some kind of demon or something? I mean, you can't tell me she's not evil."

Buffy [shrugging]: "Who knows? I mean our teacher turned out to be a praying mantis, so it's not outside the realms of possibility."

Xander [shuddering]: "Can we not talk about praying mantis lady please?"

[The gang reached the classroom.]

Buffy: "Sure Xander, no more insect talk. Welcome to the hellmouth."

[End of scene.]
