"Hey Buffy!"
"Buffster, long time no see!"
Buffy smiled and waved at her two best friends, Willow Rosenberg and Xander Harris. "Hi guys!"
"So how was your summer?" the redheaded Willow inquired. "I mean, it wasn't that bad, was it?"
"No. In fact it was pretty.boring."
"What, no hordes of demons and greusome slayage every night? How awful!" Xander quipped, always ready to supply the unneeded sarcastic remark, when the time was right. Actually, even when the time was not right.
"Yeah, I know," Buffy agreed with Xander. "The only things I was allowed to kill were my dad's credit cards, and even shoppin ggot old fast-and believe me, I do like to shop."
"Well, not everyone can be like Cordelia Chase," the dark haired boy said. "Speak of the devil, if it isn't the lovely Miss Chase right now!" Xander's voice was once again dripping with sarcasm.
Cordelia was walking down the hallway, surprisingly not surrounded by her fellow fashion-snobs or groupie-wannabes, and turned towards them at Xander's comment. "Oh god, it's you three. Did you have a nice time killing vampires all summer?" she asked, a little too loudly.
"You know, Cordelia," Buffy jumped in, in an effort to shut the dark-haired would-be beauty queen up, "Sometimes when you talk about things like that, people think you're crazy, or even worse, weird."
Cordelia looked like she was about to fire back at Buffy with something equally as embarrasing as her first comment, so Willow decided it was time for a subject change. "So, Cordelia, did you have a nice summer?"
"Yes, thank you Willow. At least someone is considerate enough to ask, after all, I did go out of my way to talk to you three."
"Gee, if it's so out of your way then how come you're still here?" Xander asked, rather obnoxiously.
"Well.I.was just leaving!" And with that Cordelia turned and walked off.
Buffy, Xander, and Willow watched her turn around and stalk off, but when she was out of hearing distance, Willow turned back to her friends and said, "That was odd."
"You mean, Cordelia being a bitch is strange?" Xander asked.
Buffy cut in, "No, Will, I agree. Since when did Cordelia want to give us the time of day before, at least in public," she reasoned. It was kind of strange for Cordelia to be alone, too, but she decided to keep the thought to herself. None of them really wanted to start analyzing Cordelia right now. "I'm gonna go see Giles, and then I'll meet you guys in English."
"Okay, Buff."
"See you in a few."

Buffy parted from her friends and walked towards the library. She knew Giles would probably want to know how her patrol went last night, and there was a book that she had to get for english class-summer reading. I hope we don't have a test on it or anything. Maybe Willow can fill me in a little bit before class starts. Buffy was not fond of english class, and she sort of forgot she even had to read over the summer. Besides she was busy. Well, not really.
Buffy's mind started to wander and she walked towards the Library on autopilot, not really even needing to pay attention since her feet had followed the same route so many times before. She was so preoccupied that she was barely aware of the people around her in the hallway, talking, laughing, catching up after the summer, and going to class. She suddenly became alert to a very strange feeling-like the one she had had earlier before school, but tried to brush off. In fact, she had been having these feelings ever since she got back from Los Angeles-if not before that. While she was in L.A., things were all fine and normal, but during her last week or two there she started to get extremely restless. She had to get back to Sunnydale. It was as if some force was pulling her towards her home. She had just brushed the feelings off, thinking they were due to her lack of slaying and major demon activity over the summer. Then as soon as she was home, the feelings grew stronger. Even during her patrol, she felt a couple of times like someone or something was watching her. And now, walking down the hallway towards the library, she was getting the same feelings-as if her stomach was doing flip-flops. She couldn't tell if it was anxiety or.well she just wasn't sure what the feelings were.
Buffy mindlessly swung open the library door, and went to walk in and .CraSH! She had walked straight into someone who was apparently on his way out. She instantly snapped out of her own world and returned to reality. "Oh, sorry!" she mumbled, not looking up right away.
"It's okay." "Buffy! Glad to see you've made it," Giles shouted from the library counter. "I see you've met the new student, then?!"
Buffy turned to face the person that she had walked, or rather, slammed into, and her breath caught in her throat. She could feel her cheeks flush, and she suddenly felt like an idiot. She had carelessy walked into one of the most handsome guys she had ever seen. Handsome is probably an understatement, she thought.
He was tall, well built (make that really hot!), with dark brown hair that was short and a little spikey in the front. However, it wasn't his body or his hair that made Buffy so.shocked. She found herself caught in his eyes, almost spellbound. He had beautiful chocolate brown eyes, flecked with light, and so deep she thought she would drown in them. And his eyes held so much more than he outwardly displayed-such as amusement, mystery, even.surprise?
"Ahem.um.Buffy, this is Angel," Giles interrupted the two students who were simply just staring staring at eachother for what seemed like endless minutes. "Angel is new here this year. He just moved her from.did you say Los Angeles?"
Angel momentarily broke away from the beautiful blonde girl standing in front of him. "Yes, I just got here a few weeks ago." He might have been answering Giles' question, but he was still focused on the girl. "It's nice to meet you."
"Uh, nice to meet you, too," She managed to stammer in reply. His name is "Angel"? What a different.beautiful name.
"I better get to class," Angel said. He smiled at Buffy, making her feel like melting, and headed out the library doors.
Giles watched Buffy as her eyes never once left the new, dark-haired student, following him even as he turned and walked out the doors. She looked as if she was lost somewhere that was not Sunnydale High School.
"Buffy?" he asked, once again drawing her back to reality.
"Oh, sorry. What did you say?"
Giles tried to suppress a smile as he saw the girl in front of him transform from vampire slayer to googly-eyed teenage girl. "I just wanted to ask you how last night went."
TBC...
"Buffster, long time no see!"
Buffy smiled and waved at her two best friends, Willow Rosenberg and Xander Harris. "Hi guys!"
"So how was your summer?" the redheaded Willow inquired. "I mean, it wasn't that bad, was it?"
