A/N: Took me a while to get this chapter finished, but I sort of lost all inspiration to write this, but I can feel it coming back to me again now.

Please read and review, but most importantly, please enjoy :)

-Buffy's POV-

Willow had gone to sleep now. At least I think she was sleeping. She had asked me to sleep in Xander's bed with her. I mean, it's no big deal, we usually does it that way. But this time it was different. We had just kissed, and, well, maybe I did get a little carried on with it, but it wasn't like I didn't want it. I mean, even if it had happened sooner or later, I would still want it to happen. Damn, I had wanted this to happen since I first met her. I had never had an interest in girls before, I mean, I had always known who I would consider beautiful if I was into girls, but I never had been. Not until I met Willow three years ago.

-Flashback—

I walked out of my mom's car outside the local school. My new school. It was sunny. Of course it was, it wasn't for no reason this stupid place was called Sunnydale. We had moved here two days ago, and I already hated the place. It was a small place, and everyone already knew each other. And to make it even better, it was in the middle of the school year. Great, I was the new girl in the middle of the school year. It couldn't get any worse than this. Back in L.A, I had been the popular cheerleader, the girl everyone wanted to be seen with. But here, I would be nothing. This stupid place probably didn't even have any teams to cheer on. God, this was so fucked up. I hated my mom for moving us here. Stupid job she had been offered here.
My first steps into the school ground were awful. Everyone stared at me and pointed. At least that's what it felt like. I didn't know what to do, so I just stared at the ground and walked as fast as I could inside to find some sort of an office where I could get my schedule.

I had just walked out of the office, and was walking with my nose in the map I had been handed so I would find my classes easier. I wasn't paying much attention to my surroundings, and suddenly I was forced to stop. I lost my balance and almost fell to the floor. A hand grabbed my shoulder, keeping me from falling down,

"Oh, I-I'm sorry. I wasn't paying attention. I'm sorry", she sounded almost afraid, and nervous. I liked her, she was different from everyone else I had ever known, besides, she was good looking, perhaps a little geeky. I guess that's what I found charming about her right away. She seemed to be some kind of a misfit, actually. Good, if she was, then I could try to befriend her.

I had already decided not to try to become as popular here, as I had been in L.A. Sure, I would try out for the cheerleading team, but I wanted to stay away from the popular ones. I was tired of those. Besides, I was a different person now. I hunted vampires at night, I guess I wouldn't have time for much social life anyway.

"It's okay," I replied to her, "I was walking with my nose in this map, so I guess it was my fault". I was about to walk on when she continued to speak. That was unusual for me, I was used to people just apologizing and walk on when they ran down strangers, "So you are the new girl, then?". I nodded. How did she know I was the new student? I guess this was a smaller school than I had first imagined, then. The girl reached out a hand towards me, "Hello, then. I'm Willow Rosenberg. Would you like some help finding your class?". I gave her a dazzled look, but reached out my hand to shake hers, "Uhm. Hi. I'm Buffy Summers. Nice to meet you. And yes, I would like some help. If you don't mind". She seemed to light up at this. My best guess, not too many friends, and people spoke with her at all.

"Oh, no. I would be happy to help you out at your first day. People don't really speak with me, so it's nice when someone new arrives, someone who hasn't spoken with Cordelia and her friends already. They seem to have it as their mission of life to make everyone else's life miserable. Oh, and I tend to blabber when I'm nervous and when I speak with strangers, so just feel free to stop me at any moment. It's kind of embarrassing, really, especially with strangers. I just talk, and I talk and…"

"Yeah, Willow? Would you mind just showing me my class? At least for now".

She nodded eagerly, "Oh, right. Class. What do you have?" she looked at my sheet and continued; "Oh, English with Mr. Johnson. He's cool. You're lucky you got him. Well, follow me, I'm teaching computer science next to your class".

I stopped. She certainly didn't look old enough to teach first grade English, and absolutely not high school computer science.

"Wait. Teach? I thought you were a student?". She chuckled and stopped along with me, "Yes, I'm a student, but I also teach. Only computer science, though. Principal Snyder hasn't been able to get a new teacher yet, so it's only temporary, but I'm happy with it. I love teaching and I think it's good practice for the future and stuff". Ah, this made more sense now. Sort of.

"I never heard of students teaching before. Is that normal?". We began to walk again, "No, not really. I just offered, and because I have free periods when I teach, I could do it. And it feels good to have a job and earn some cash. It's a good way to save some college money, you know".

"Yeah. Uhm. Can we find my class now? I think we are about to run late". She looked at her watch and began to run, "Shoot!. Come on, Buffy. We need to run.

A few moments later, we were standing outside the classrooms. "Good luck with your first day. I'm sure I'll see you around soon enough", she waved me goodbye and went to her classroom. I awkwardly waved back at her as she went inside and out of my sight.
I headed in to my own class, and took a seat as far back in the classroom as I possibly could. I sat between a guy, he seemed to be trying too hard to be funny and make everyone laugh, and on my other side, I had a girl, she seemed to think she owned the whole world. I decided to ignore them both, neither one of them seemed to be a kind of person I would like to have anything to do with. No, I was fine with Willow, I didn't need anyone else. I was just going to settle here for now, and then get out of here as soon as possible. I hated this place more than anything I could ever imagine.

During class, nothing much really happened. Mr. Johnson just talked about some boring book I never would read anyway.
During the entire I class, I just sat there doodling and thinking about everything else. Especially that cute girl I ran into, Willow.

-End flashback—

I headed back outside again and punched my fist hard into a tree. The whole tree shook like a leaf in the October wind. I hated this, why did I have to fall for her in the first place? Why couldn't I have fallen for the hot guy on the football team? Why did it have to be the geeky loner girl? God. I just wanted to scream my lungs out and just run away.

Rewind a second. Run away? Could that be the answer? Just run away from everything? Vampires, death, demons and.. Willow. Yes, that was it. I would run away and never come back. Yes, that would be the best thing to do. Then Willow could live happily ever after with Xander, and everyone would be happy.

I would run away. And it was going to happen tonight.
