Author's note: No the baby is not Hank's. But that won't come into play for a few more chapters so I just thought I'd let you know now.
The next morning Buffy headed for her first day at Sunnydale High School. Helen was watching Jada until Buffy got out of school. Buffy was a little nervous. She
didn't know anyone here and she'd never had to be the new kid. She wasn't sure what to expect. When she got there she went to the main office to pick up her schedule.
Her first class was World History. She didn't really need to be in her classes to pass them. She was actually very smart. Whenever her father had grounded her she'd
studied in order to avoid him at home. So she already knew most of the high school stuff and had worked her way into some college material while at the shelter. In class
they partnered up and Buffy was paired with a red headed girl named Willow. "So you're new," she asked. "Yeah, I just moved to Sunnydale, Buffy replied," my name's
Buffy. What's yours?". "Oh, I'm Willow she said," I just love history don't you". "I used to. I remember enough to get me by as far as high school goes," Buffy told her," I
just don't have time to pay as much attention as I used to so I'll probably just do what I have to in order to pass without getting way extracurricular in my studies". "Ok,
Willow said pleasantly," So why'd you move here". "I came to live with my grandmother," she said not mentioning Jada. The last thing she needed was the whole school
knowing she had a baby by the end of the first day. "Cool," Willow said," do you have your books yet?". "No, they told me to pick them up in the library after this class,"
Buffy told her. "Oh, do you know where it is," Willow asked," cause I can show you. We just got a new librarian from England and he brought all of these really cool old
books with him". "Cool," Buffy said. So when the bell rang Willow showed her where the library, but had to get to her next class so Buffy entered alone.
She walked in and looked for the librarian. "Hello," she called," is anyone here?". Just then a man in a tweed jacket wearing glasses came out of the office from
behind the checkout counter. "Yes, can I help you," he asked. "Yeah, I need some books," she said as though it should be obvious. "You're new," the man questioned.
"Yeah," she told him," I'm Buffy Summers. Willow, the girl that showed me the library told me that you're new here too". "Yes, yes I am," he said as he started to
smile," I'm the new librarian and I'm also your new watcher, Mr. Giles". Buffy's friendly smile fell. "Great," she mumbled. "Is there a problem," he asked her. "No. I just
thought I could at least get in a full week of school here before I had to start slaying and skipping classes again," she told him. "Well, the council had already lost track of
you for the past six months or so," Giles said," I'd say it seems you already took your own break". "Yeah, sure," Buffy said. "We will be asking you to fill in where you've
been and what you've been doing while you were out of contact," he said. "What, why," Buffy asked. She didn't want them to know about Jada. If they did they might take
her away thinking that she would come first over Buffy's slayer duties. And if they thought that, they were right. Jada would always come first to Buffy. "Because the
council needs to fill in any blanks on their slayers. They have to account for her whole life while she is the slayer. There can't be any missing pieces," Giles told her. She
knew she had to think of something quickly. If it took her too long to tell them what'd happened for those six months they'd know she was lieing. They sat down and
discussed her duties. Giles told her they could train during her free period after lunch. She would patrol nightly for about two hours. After they finished talking Buffy'd
missed second period so she found Willow in the hallway because they also had third period together. When they got to class she sat across from Willow and they
passed notes to get to know each other. Willow's friend Xander was also in the class. He was sitting behind Willow and diaganol from Buffy. He seemed nice. He
cracked corny jokes and when the bell finally rang he introduced himself. "Hi, my name's Xander," he told her as the three of them walked down the hall. "I'm Buffy," she
told him," nice to meet you". They headed to the student lounge to eat lunch and the three of them got to know each other more. By the time lunch ended it felt as though
they had all been best friends forever. Buffy was completely comfortable with them.
Two days later they made plans to go to the local club, called The Bronze, after school. Buffy went home first to spend time with Jada. She was such a beautiful
baby. She had a bit of light brown hair, deep blue eyes and baby soft skin. She had a certain sparkle in her eyes that Buffy couldn't wait to see everyday after school.
Buffy had no reason to feel she didn't spend enough time with Jada because if she thought about it she was only gone about the same amount of time as any single mother
with a job. Finally she got ready. Willow and Xander would be there in less than an hour. She was throwing a shirt on as she heard a knock on the door. She went and
opened it and Xander and Willow were standing there ready to go. They stepped inside for a minute while Buffy went in the other room where they couldn't see and said
goodbye to her grandmother and Jada. Then she came back and began to put on her shoes. That's when they heard it. A cry, obviously from a baby. "Who was that,"
Xander asked her.
