BASED ON A TRUE STORY

Chapter 5: Buffy's First Year of College

I lay in my dorm room bed, as I reflect on my life: Smart student, dream to become a journalist, met a boy, and went out with him for practically all of high school. Everyone around school knew me as Riley's girl. I had a lot of friends, Cordelia included. After awhile, I wondered if they really liked me for me or was it because I was dating the captain of the football team? I really liked Riley, he said he loved me, I said it back, only I knowing that it is not true. I did what everyone else was doing. I did love him, but I was not in love with him. I let him tell his friends and I met his family. Everyone assumed that we'd get married after high school. After I graduated, I decided to break it off. I did it as gently as possible, because I cared for him. Once I broke up with him, everyone who I thought were my friends hated me. I was right all along.

I put it all behind me and went to college, where I am now. I was having a blast here until I caught the flu, which was spreading along like the latest fashion. I seemed to have gotten the rock bottom worst of it. I've been sick for two weeks! Everyone else had only been sick for a week at the most. Willow, who is my roommate, made an appointment at the campus doctor. I hope that it's nothing serious. I'm only in college. I have so much to live for. If I don't get better and go to my classes, then I'll miss important things that I'm sure I will have to use later in my life. I just hope that it does not affect my scholarship. I need worrying so much. It's probably nothing.

The above statement is transliterated from Hebrew into English. At the end of the story, I'll reveal what it means.

Thanks to...

Meg586 - Please don't be confused! There are no more B/R smoochy scenes. The only person she smooches is Angel. Ah, that's better, right?

For reviewing after I wrote Chapter 4. Lol.
