Authors note: This is turning out Crap is'nt it? If it is PLEASE TELL ME WHY or HOW or WHEN or TELL ME TO STOP! People do something! Anyway I wrote this chap in attempt to fix the last cause it sucked. Personally I think this one sucks too..

Here goes.

Chap 5

Mr Bing. Bing-Bing-Bing-e-de-Bing. Yes that is my math teacher and believe me if you think his name sounds cool he is sooo not cool. I can defiantly tell you this is one of the worst teachers in the world of teaching history. You think your teacher is worse? You should come check this one out and you'll no what I mean.

Once, he picked this boy up by the collar of his shirt and tossed him out of the room and proceeded to give him 500 lines of 'I will not get one answer wrong." Just because he got the wrong answer to ONE of his questions. The thing was, that he was only out by one number, not lots but just ONE NUMBER.

Just looking at this guy and it creeps me out. Of course Willow is quite content with his teaching considering she is the apple of this creeps eyes. Just cause she can do the hardest of quadratic equations in her head lists her pretty high in his opinion. Bet she's on par with his wife. Bet she's one hell of a dragon too; you'd have to be to marry this ogar

"Miss Summers, would you care to join us?" Oh crap that's twice in half an hour I am so dead.

I cast a look at him and pretend to be interested, praying that he won't say anymore. Like I've said before my life sucks and he does continue.

"What were you precisely looking at out of that window?"

"I was simply calculating t-the average amount of leaves on those three trees out there." Leaves? Is that all you could come up with? You really walked into this one.

"Oh ok, would you like to tell me the answer then Miss summers?"

Shit. "26547." Pray that is close enough.

"Not to the leaves brainac, to this question." With that he taps his cane against the blackboard.

Another thing I should mention about Mr Bing. He is about 1000 years old, believes in caning children although it has been banned so instead he carries around his cane and threatens people with the tip it. Also he refuses to get rid of his rusty, dust covered blackboard as he claims that it is the key to teenage learning and that people learn better when it's written in chalk.

Weird or what!

So back to this question. I look at it for a moment and realise that there is no way in hell I could answer it. Now if he had asked me to stake a vampire then I'm sure I would be top of the class but this being a math class it means I'm firmly trapped at the bottom.

"Well?" The cane is being tapped rhythmatically against the board.

"Oh no." I groan under my breath because here comes the lecture that I hear every single maths lesson, the same lecture that is only EVER dictated to me.

"Buffy Summers." See how he makes it so personal? "I have given in teaching you maths as you simply don't try hard enough to excel in this area of expertise. It appears to me that you do not have an adequate brain to be able to cope with simple adding subtracting etc rules which of course makes you bottom of the class" Now this guy lies. I can add and subtract and I can multiply and divide. See, I'm not so brainless.

But the humiliation continues. "Now I have a question that is really going to test your brain power Summers." He steps forward and leans over my desk, forcing me to lean back in my chair. Please let me shove your cane through your heart. I smile as I think it.

"What is 2 + 2" I look at him shocked as the whole class bursts into hysterical laughter.

"And look poor Miss Buffy doesn't have an answer, aw." He starts to mock.

"Four is the answer and I don't have to take this crap from you." I stand, picking up my stuff and striding out of the room. I didn't realise how good it would feel to walk away from that bastard.

******

"You did what?" How does he do that? How does Giles always know when I've done something wrong?

"What?" I answer; playing the innocent is the only way I'm going to get out of this.

"You walked out of your maths class! Buffy t-that is one of the most important lessons that you will ever take!" Glasses have been removed as he often does when pacing the room in either anger or worry.

"Giles, he humiliated me in front of the entire class! Isn't it my job to stand up to myself?"

"Against the forces of darkness yes, but not a maths teacher!" His face had a turned an ugly shade of red and I was starting to worry if his head was going to explode.

"I can't do maths anyway and I'm pretty sure I'm not going to need it in later life as my life span has already been cut in half." HA! Bring on the guilt by using the slayer ages. I will win this one; I am NOT going back to maths.

I smile as he looks at me silently. I can see his brain working, he's seeing how he can get around the topic of me not living long and make me go back to maths.

"Buffy you are supposed to be a normal student which means normal lessons." Is that the best he could do? The grease guy on the hotdog stall could have done better than that! And I thought Giles was intelligent.

"Well Jake is a normal student and only last week he dropped biology!" HA HA and HA again.

This silenced my watcher for a long time. Meanwhile I stood proud that I had actually beaten him in an argument. Take that back! I normally do beat him in an argument; my mother always told me I was stubborn.

******

"Hey baby." Floppy, floppy, FLOPPY!

"Hi." Oh god I wish the guilt would leave my body right now cause I'm starting to feel sick again.

"Come here." Damn why can't I sit next to Willow? No! I don't want to sit on your knee that just reminds me about what a slut I am for kissing Angel.

"Riley do you want a drink, cause I'm going to go get one." Well done self, you managed to get out of that one for 5 minutes.

Riley just stares back blankly and when he doesn't answer I leave to go to the bar anyway. Then I realise why he was staring blankly. I look down at the full glass of Coca Cola that was in my hand. Damn.

Suddenly hands appear around my waist. "What's up Buff? You've been acting strange today." Oh how I want to rip your tongue out so you can stop talking!

"Uh nothing's wrong." A cold shiver shoots up my spine.

"Yes there is! You won't look at me properly, you won't let me touch you." With that the hands start a moving up the side of my body.

I step forward, shrugging his hands off my waist. "Riley, Don't."

"See what I mean." Here comes hurricane Finn.

I can't hold it in any longer. "Maybe we should stop seeing each other." You thought I was going to tell him about Angel didn't you? ARE YOU INSANE!

So bunny boy looks back at me baffled. "What?" His voice has gone hoarse and I want to cry for the pain that I have caused.

"It's not you it's me." Damn that is so cheesy.

"Everyone says that when they mean ITS YOU!" His voice is raised

Argh! This time it really is me though but I can't tell him why because he'll either tell everyone who Angel actually is or go kill him! Actually he'd do both thinking about it.

So I chose to stand in silent and watch as his face gets redder and redder and suddenly I feel tears start to form in my eyes.

Yes he was my boyfriend and yes I do like him very much but compare him to my fascination to a certain dead vampire and he is like an enemy. I can't believe I'm actually doing this! I have no hope with Angel yet I am dumping Riley!

The tears start to make their journey down my face and now I really want to run like hell, run out of this place. Problem number one with that plan is that Riley is stood in the way of the door. Problem number two is that I know he wants me to tell him why I want us not to be together. By running, I know he will run after me so wherever I go I'm going to be in the same situation.

"Riley, I just can't do this anymore. I like you, but it's just not working."

"There's someone else isn't there"

Yes. Yes. YES. "No."

He looks into my eyes and instantly I look away, my heart starts to pound faster and faster and I'm praying that he walks away. My prayers are answered as he steps to the side and fades into the surrounding crowd, leaving me alone to cry.
