Chapter 25
As the Chief and Agent Parker made their way to the marina, Buffy continued the horrible task of her entrance exams.
As Buffy sat at the desk, she began to feel extremely agitated. She needed to get up and move around some, and Buffy knew it.
"Mr. Aryans, do you think I could take a break to use the restroom and eat my lunch? I only have the math section part of the exam left, and we are already very ahead of schedule Sir." Buffy asked Mr. Aryans in hope that he had a heart.
"I do not see why not. I think that it would be a good idea to stretch our legs some a bit. Especially if you are trying out for the gymnastics team after school today." Mr. Aryans said with a bit of amusement.
"Do we not have to wait for the principal to see my exam scores before I can do that?" Buffy asked the man in front of her.
"I have been grading all of your exams as we went along. I have been keeping her apprised as I went, through email of each section. Trust me. I do not think that there is anything that will keep you from trying out today. You will not have a problem. But, if I were you, I would only choose one or two activities to try out for. Just pick the ones that you would like the best. I do not want you to get overloaded. I think that you will excel at any of them, and also in the process help our school to finally win at something." Mr. Aryans said in a joking manner.
"That actually sounds like a great idea. I will think about it. Can you show me the way to the restroom now Sir?" Buffy asked Mr. Aryans.
"Of course, this way please." Mr. Aryans said, as they began to walk out of the room.
As they were leaving the classroom, the bell had rung for the end of the recent period. The students began to fill the hallway very quickly. Once Mr. Aryans showed Buffy the right door to enter for the ladies, and made sure that she knew the correct way back to the classroom. And with that, Mr. Aryans decided to go back to the classroom early to begin to grade her latest test.
Mr. Aryans couldn't believe at just how smart, well mannered, and mature that this young lady was. 'Most kids her age can not wait to get out of school and be done with it all.' He thought to himself. 'Hear she is wanting to come to school to finish her education. I can not for the life of me believe that she was that much of a trouble maker her old school had made her out to be. I believe that we will begin with meeting twice a week.' Mr. Aryans had finished his thoughts, and sat down at the desk to grade the test in front of him.
Once Buffy was finished in the restroom, she stepped into the hallway and began to stretch her tired muscles.
Buffy began walking again after her stretches and turned the corner, and smacked into a very hard body. Once she heard and felt the smack she fell to the ground in a small heap, and with a small amount of pain.
"OH. MY. GOODNESS! Could you please be a bit more careful and watch where you are going? You could seriously injure someone just standing there." Buffy said, without taking a look at the person she ran into.
As Buffy began to pull herself up off the floor, she noticed a trademark black duster of the one person or vampire in his case that she did not want to see at the moment.
Buffy actually took the time to think about it, and was very surprised that he was out in the daylight 'How in the hell is he here?' Buffy thought to herself, before she made her thoughts known.
"What in the hell are you doing here Spike? How about this then buddy. How in the hell are you here? If I know my time of days, and I do in fact. I am pretty sure is the middle of the afternoon." Buffy asked the vampire in front of her with a slight amount of fear in her eyes.
"Now, Now, Slayer. There is no need to get those pretty panties of your in such a twist. But if they are... I am more than willing to help you untwist them. What do you say Love?" Spike asked the young Slayer that he can not stop thinking about.
"Well, I guess I would have to say that you are nothing more than a rather crude, crass, and arrogant bastard. Now, back to my original question Spike. I do not have time for this today. Now, how and why are you here Spike?" Buffy asked through clenched teeth. Trying to hold in her temper and not getting into a fight before she actually gets to start her classes.
"Well, Goldilocks. As to how, it is one of the main reason that I chose Maine to stay. Ha Ha... I am so funny that I could just stay dead. No laughs, Really? Anyways, I have come to find that with enough cloud cover I can be out pretty much all the time here. It is truly amazing as to what can happen with enough of that fluffy goodness. As to why I am here... Well, you of course Love. I think that I fancy getting a job here. Now that I can be out in the day and all." Spike said with a smirk on his face taking a step closer to his newest desires.
"I can not believe you Spike. Oh wait, yes I can. I have to get back and finish my tests. I suggest you be gone from the school when I leave here." Buffy said as she walks away from the smiling vampire.
Once Buffy got away, she realized that the confrontation had only lasted just a few minutes. 'That lasted a lot less longer than how long I thought it had.' Buffy thought to herself.
Buffy had finally made it back to the classroom, when a hand had clamped itself over her shoulder.
Buffy had jumped back and gave a startled cry of fear thinking that it was Spike, Buffy knew that she was in a public place with witnesses and was unable to be 'Super Buffy'.
Buffy had figured that Mr. Aryans had heard her, and for once was glad for teacher involvement.
"Miss Summers! Are you alright? What is going on here?" Mr. Aryans asked the startled young lady.
Once Buffy had finally taken a look at her would be attacker, she let out a calming breath of air.
At this point the principal has now joined the growing group of people in the hallway.
"Mr. Aryans? What in the world is going on out here in my hallways? I am trying to conduct an interview, and then all of the sudden I hear a cry of fear in my halls." The principal said in a short manner to get some answers. Just at this point noticing who all was in the hallway.
"I am very sorry Mam. It was all my fault. I saw Buffy walking to the classroom door, and I just wanted to say hello and see how she was doing on her tests. I was on my way to your office actually Mam. I was going to be checking in for Security for the try-outs. I am really sorry for scarring you Buffy. I really was not expecting that type of response from you." Nathan said as he had finally took notice of just how scared she really looked.
"It is alright Nathan. I know you did not mean to. I think I just got overwhelmed for a minute. We can talk about this later. I am sorry about the commotion Mam. I hope that this ha no negative barrings on your final choice." Buffy stated to the principal in hopes that this is not the start of her normal badness to follow.
"Of course not Miss Summers. It was not your fault in the least. And Mr. Warnous here should have known better than to sneak up on people like that. Now Officer, let's head up to the office and let Elizabeth finish her exam." Principal Becky said as she grabbed Nathan's arm and led him down the hall in the opposite direction.
"Yes Mam." Nathan said, still feeling very worried for his sister.
"By the way Miss Summers, I just wanted you to know something. Pass or fail this final section, I am going to give my go ahead to attend the try-outs this afternoon. However, I am only going to approve two different activities. So be sure to chose well. Go and eat your lunch and then back to work. By the time that you are done with this section, your brother can take you home to get your try-out clothes." Principal Becky said with a small smile, and then left with a laugh.
"OMG! I can not believe that she said yes. Let's eat lunch, and then back to work. I mean if that is alright with you Sir." Buffy said, as she began to feel rather embarrassed.
All Mr. Aryans could do was laugh at Buffy's eagerness.
"That is fine by me. Let me just grab your sandwich for you. Here you go. Eat up." Mr. Aryans said, as he grabbed his lunch and ate too.
'This is the best sandwich I have ever eaten! I hope I can talk him into making my lunch on a regular basis?' Buffy was thinking to herself.
After ten minutes into her thirty minute lunch, Buffy had already finished.
"Mr. Aryans, may I go ahead and begin on the last section? I am already finished with my sandwich." Buffy asked.
"Alright let me just grab the right booklet. Here you go dear. You have two hours to finish this section. It is the final section of your entry exam. Good luck and begin now." Mr. Aryans stated as he started the clock.
Meanwhile at the Marina
"Agent Parker, his dock is just down this way here. If he is not on the boat then he may be at the Gull." The Chief stated.
"That is fine by me Sir. I have no place else to be until I catch this asshole." Agent Parker said.
As the duo was walking down the dock, Chief Warnous's radio was going off.
"Chief, are you there Hun? Over?" Edna the dispatch caller said.
"This is the Chief here Edna. What can I do for you? Over?" The Chief questioned back.
"I just got a call from Nathan at the school," Edna began, but before she could finish properly Garland butted in.
"What's wrong? Is Nathan alright? Is Elizabeth alright? Do I need to head out that way?" The Chief began to babble in a manner that would be Buffy approved.
"Um, Chief? I think you might want to let the poor woman talk if you want to find out what is going on." Agent Parker stated from the passenger side of the cruiser.
"Right, Sorry Edna. Please continue? Over?" The Chief stated.
"Right Sir. Nothing is wrong, Nathan is fine, and Elizabeth is fine. There is no need to head to the school. I was just told to tell you from Nathan that she has aced all of entrance exams so far. She is in the process of her last section. She has also been approved for two different extra circular activities after school. Nathan said for sure that she will try out for the gymnastics team, but she is still unsure about the second. He is going to be taking her home after her last test to gather her clothes she will be using for try-outs. He also said that Duke will be there too. He had heard through the grapevine that you were looking for him. Duke wanted to watch Elizabeth try-out, so Nathan knows for a fact that he will be there at 3:15. He told Nathan that he had some errands to run out of town this morning. Over?" Edna relayed the message.
"Thank you Edna. Tell Nathan that I will be there around 3:00. Over and out!" The Chief finished the call.
"Well, I guess I know where we will be finding Mr. Crocker at this afternoon then. Who are Nathan and Elizabeth?" Agent Parker asked the Chief.
All the Chief could say in response is, "I'll tell you when we get back to the station."
At that the duo made their way back to town.
