"And that is how the civil war finally ended." Mr Lynch the history teacher
droned on as he had done for past half hour about the political ethics of
the American civil war until the end of school bell rang on Tuesday
afternoon making some students almost jump out of their own skin and merely
waking up others.
Buffy grabbed her bag, a stylish black leather shoulder bag and her pencil and hurried out of the classroom to escape the melancholic atmosphere always inhabiting that particular room. She glided down the corridor, squeezing through groups of students crowding the hall and seconds before reaching the library was joined by Willow and they both entered to find Giles sat at their usual table and as ever-surrounded by musty old books and probably not one of them published after 1600!
"Hey Giles" Buffy said "Anything on the amulet thingy I gave you yesterday?"
"Ah yes, nothing to worry about. It's just an amulet worn for protection from dark and evil mystical forces. First created many years ago by the Jakesh people to." Giles looked up at Buffy and Willows faces and realised he was getting into lecture mode and also that as long as it wasn't anything bad then they really didn't care so abruptly finished. "So yes, nothing to worry about-protection amulet."
"Yeah this is the hellmouth so I guess they'd be pretty common around here huh Giles?" Willow asked quite intrigued about it.
"Yes I would imagine that's the reason for it being recovered here." Giles replied.
"So no beastie? Good, that's good. Only vamps for me to worry about now so I say yey!" Buffy said smiling.
"Ooh speaking of vamps, aren't you seeing Angel Friday night for a little rough and tumble?" Willow asked in a giddy manner.
"Oh dear lord! Boy talk! I shall um... retire to my office!" said Giles quite uncomfortably, as he was not Angel's biggest fan but the thought if listening to Willow and Buffy talk about boys, dates and kissing intimidated him more they knew! "Girls!" He muttered and disappeared into the quiet sanctuary of his office.
"Yeah, we're gonna patrol together, talk a little" Buffy said excitedly.
"Kiss a little" Willow added giggling.
"Maybe" Buffy said cheekily and girlie giggles ensued! "So, you and Oz, we talking third base yet?" Buffy inquired.
"Not yet" Willow replied.
"Not yet? So you've thought about it?" said Buffy.
Willow just giggled.
Buffy was happy for Willow, and maybe even a little jealous. Buffy slept with Angel once-just once and he turned evil "into Mr.killing spree" as Cordelia once put it. But that'd never happen to Willow and Oz and she couldn't help but wish that Angel was human. She wanted it more than anything else in the world but it would never be. Angel was a vampire and he was gonna stay that way forever Buffy thought. Even after she's gone he'll still be there. Alone. Willow had never really had a proper boyfriend before Oz and now she'd finally found someone-the perfect someone and Buffy was so pleased that her best friend was happy, but it only masked her own sadness that her one truelove could never be with her-not properly and it hurt, sometimes more than she could bear. But she knew she loved Angel and for her it was enough.
"Come on, lets get out of here" Buffy said.
"Ooh, lets go to the espresso pump and get sugared up on mochas!" Willow replied.
"Yeah ok!" Buffy smiled "And eat muffins-blueberry-with the crunchy munchy stuff on top!" She said.
"Yummy" Willow said, and they walked across the library toward the exit.
"Bye Giles" They both shouted in unison.
"See you tomorrow" A faint reply from Giles sounded and the girls made their way out of the library and to the Espresso Pump for mochas and muffins!
