Chapter 9

"Party? Cool!" Buffy said snatching the flyer. Everyone seemed to look at her in amazement. This was after all Lizzie Parker. The one who got arrested for holding beer after the kids shoved it into her and Alex's hands.

"Lizzie is already cheering up! Good for you!," Maria sid waving her arms in the air like the maniac Maria was.

"So I'm going to go shopping I need new clothes. Do you guys want to go along?" she asked the teens in front of her. Par-tay! Haven't been to one in years.

"I'll pass," Alex said stretching his arms.

"You're just passing because Isabel will make you carry all of her stuff," Buffy said on a whim.

"That and I'm tired. Want to get rested for the party," Alex said innocently smiling at Isabel, "I still love you anyway, Princess."

And apparently that whim worked.

"Yeah yeah I love you too," Isabel said picking up her tray, "I'll see you two at the Crashdown after school." She left and Michael was the one left to answer.

Maria looked at him batting her eyelashes at him and pouting, "Please Michael?"

"No," he said getting up.

"Please," she continued getting up as well.

"No," he continued to move and she followed him back to class stating one word: please.

Buffy finished up her classes and was thankful that she was in college already. She hinched a ride with Maria back to the Crashdown. She was wondering if she did work at the Crashdown. Maria seemed to be a mind reader or she just knew her friend really well.
"Thank God your folks gave us today off," Maria said grabbing a coke. She sat down and left her bag by the counter. Michael walked in and walked down the aisles trying to avoid Maria and her batchering question. "I'm not going to ask you Michael. I already know you're answer."

"Then you know that I'm only driving her girls there and that's it. I'm not going to be your butler." Michael said sitting next to her.

"Oh, thank you thank you," she said kissing him on the cheek. He tried to move away but was caught in a Maria sandwich.

What a bunch of crazy love sick kids, Buffy thought. If they only knew what lurks in the night.
