"Okay Amy. Just keep working on those algebra problems and I'm sure you'll
get it in no time," a pretty red haired girl said to her friend with a
textbook open. "Yeah, I wish. When will we really need this stuff? I mean,
most of this we won't use for our natural lives. I could understand
mathematicians needing it, but do I plan on becoming one? Um, no! I also
don't need it because I'm not some nerd who spends all her time studying or
hacking codes on the computer." Amy bit her words as she realized she had
just explained Willow. "Oh, I'm sorry, Will. You're not a nerdy nerd. Um, I
mean it's sometimes useful t be on computers 24/7, not that I'm saying you
do.." Will stopped her friend midsentence. "It's okay Amy. I'm proud of my
nerdiness."
She meant it as a joke, but Amy's face was in a look of bewilderment. "Um,
never mind. Uh, just practice those probs and then get back to me, k?" Amy
nodded as she picked up her stuff. Willow made her way out of the classroom
doors and then out into the hallway. I wonder if Buffy found out when her
break was, the longhaired beauty pondered. Like she had heard her best
friends thoughts, Buffy came up behind Willow and surprised her causing her
books to fall out of her hands. "Hi Will! Guess what? My break is during
Spring Break! Isn't that completely awesome? Now I can be a normal teenager
for once, instead of worrying if the dead is going to become undead." The
Buffster said, completely too excited for Willow to comprehend her friend's
words. Will calmly put her books back in her hands like she had before
Buffy had scared the heeby jeebys out of her. She could tell her friend was
ecstatic, so she sat her down on the couch in the quad.
"Okay, now. Hit me baby one more time with that? I couldn't understand what
you were saying. It kinda came out in a rush." Buffy swallowed and counted
to ten. She couldn't help but be excited. She couldn't believe that she had
a break off, but now it's wonderful to hear it was during Spring Break! She
couldn't help but be totally excited about how her luck was changing.
"Okay. Here's it again. Giles calculated that my break is during Spring
Break. I thought it was awesome, and I said I could be a normal teenager
for once instead of worrying about the undead." Buffy said this in a slow,
calm manner so Willow could understand her perfectly. Willow couldn't
believe her ears. "Really! That is so awesome! Why aren't you excited? I
am!" With this Willow threw down her books and started doing a little
dance. Buffy couldn't contain her excitement either. She and her best bud
starting doing a little dance and squealing. Which made pretty much
everyone stare at them, and finally when they noticed this, they froze. It
was silent for a moment as their classmates stared at them, and then Willow
covered it up with saying, "So, um, that's how you do the Cucumber."
Buffy stared at her, puzzlement on her pretty face. "What?" Will whispered,
"Just go along with me here." Buffy got it and then said loudly, "Oh. The
Cucumber. Yeah, that's the most awesome dance I've ever seen. Or done. Yup,
I heard it's really popular in L.A. now." Classmates snickered as they went
back to their schedules, and Buffy and Willow started for their next class.
"Oh. The dance! I can go to the dance! That's cool. Except for Xander."
Buffy trailed off. "What about Xander?" Will asked. "You'll just have to
wait and see." Buffy said, leaving her friend curious. Seeing this look on
her face, she gave her a hint. "Let's just say you might not find Xander so
attractive at the dance." Willow gave a smirk and replied, "I bet I will."
Buffy was surprised at this, but decided to take her up on the bet. "Okay.
Twenty bucks says you won't, and twenty bucks says you will, Will." Willow
smiled at her friend's joke, and told her she was on. The two friends
strode down the hallway, both thinking about how they would spend their new
cash. Who will win? Only time will tell.
