Timeline: Set in season 2 sometime after Angel went bad. No other slayers exist either.
Summary: What's inevitable simply is..
Author's notes: Second part to this story, I'm pretty sure of where its going but it may be longer than intended since the action has even yet to start. I'm just trying to set the Xander POV mood if you get my drift.
----------------
I have no idea why but country music just doesn't cut it any more.
In fact I'd say that it worsened my emotional state rather than helped me heal from the emotional tirade that Cordelia had barraged me with.
Look at me using the big words, Willow would be so proud.
The music just doesn't cure my depressive states anymore, not like when I was rejected by the Buffster.
Maybe depression is a tinsy winsy bit of a strong word.
I am upset I guess, losing Cordy isn't a thing I'm happy about that's for sure.
I mean she can do this thing with her tongue that..
Well I'll just leave it at that shall I before I embarrass myself in the middle of maths class.
Cordelia probably hasn't even batted an eyelid, in fact I bet she's got a new stud on her arm by this evening's event at the bronze.
It's not like I meant that much to her.
I guess I annoyed her so much that she felt the need to shut me up any way possible.
But what a way to shut somebody up
Mr Stalls our mathematics teacher is prattling on about something but I can't say I'm particularly interested.
Then I notice him look at me as I lounge across the table in an almost sleep filled state.
"Alexander. Do you care to enlighten us with the basic equation of the Pythagoras theorem?"
Ah CRAP
Everyone's looking at me now and I'm sure Willow's sniggering in her seat at my side.
Little witch
"Well. It's a theorem."
Well that's lame
Another F for Xander
"And?"
I could tell by the way he was smiling that he knew I didn't know but he just loved to push the boat out.
"It was a guy named Pythagoras and it was his theorem?"
Just kill me now
I can hear the laughing around the class
Don't think I won't get them back
Some how
Some day
I will repay
"How very enlightening Alexander."
"I thought so" I mumble to myself as the class goes back into full swing
Maths always seems to last forever
Like it defies time itself just to bore me into a state of utter boredom.
At any moment now I could feel the need to swallow my own tongue just for a bit of excitement.
Where's an apocalypse when you need one?
.
..
.
On second thoughts I'm not that bored.
Wow the class has finally ended, the bell ringing while very loud and sometime annoying pleases me no end.
I am out of class before the teacher utters another word.
Don't want to be insulted by the teacher revelations on my lack of maths skills, since to me it's no revelation whatsoever.
Now where's that vending machine, I feel the need to satisfy my misery with some chocolaty goodness.
Ahh which shall it be?
Cocorific bar maybe, or shall I go for the class but never over done Twinkie?
"You know Xander, it isn't supposed to be a life decision"
Buffy's at my side now and she's looking particularly nice but then when doesn't she?
I smile
"Oh Buffy, so young and naïve. I envy thee"
Clutching my heart in mock envy she laughs at me and slaps me on the arm.
"I see you've recovered from Cordelia's dumping of you"
"It sounds so nice when you say it" I reply sarcastically and type a number into the vending machine.

And the chocolate is mine, oh yes.
I can't help but munch it down greedily with a big grin on my face.
Chocolate is Gods way of telling me I should have been a fat overweight man who looks at porn on the internet.
What a life that would be.
Instead I'm in good old Sunnydale getting punched by vampires on a nightly basis.
But at least I get to see Buffy in leather.
"Xan"
Ah the witch of my life.
"You really nailed that pythagoras question"
"I know, what can I say I'm a regular maths dude"
We take a walk out to the quad and head towards our usual seats that just happen to be across from Cordelia and her giggling posse.
God how I hate life
"We can go somewhere else Xan if you want" Buffy says touching my arm gently.
"Naa I'll be fine"
I smile to reassure her and we sit on the bench, by now the chocolate had all gone and all I can do is frown at the empty wrapper before placing it in the bin at the side of the bench.
I can see Cordelia purposely try to ignore me, she looks across occasionally and once or twice I'm sure I saw regret in them beautiful eyes.
Must be getting delusional in my old age
Buffy and Willow are talking about something irrelevant, I can always trust my girly friends to talk about the pointless and bring me back from wherever I go once in a while.
"I'm telling you Wills. I saw Larry totally making on a guy in the Bronze the other night"
"Larry, "Mr I'll beat you up for nothing" Larry? " Will fell into a giggle and I laugh joining in, ignoring my ex for the time been.
My friends were always more important.
Ex, it feels strange calling her that.
Were me and Cordelia ever truly an item?
Do you have had to have sex with each other to class them as your ex when you're dumped?
The world is so strange, not just Sunnydale.
Out of my funk I smile lightly at the girls in my life "So, are we up for some boogying at the bronze tonight? Can I pull out my party hat and put on my funky shoes?"
"Exam tomorrow Xander" Willow states simply and I smile.
Things never change
"What? We won't be out late, 10 the latest. Come on Wills. You get to see your guitar playing boyfriend whip out his thang in front of an audience and could that sound anymore disgusting?"
Wills and Buffy both shake there heads to the negative.
"Well I guess I can stretch to 10, I'll have to revise before I go out though or ill be a stress head for the entire night"
"Wills. My darling Wills. You're always a stress head"
The punch came fast and furious and actually made me wince, slightly.
I'm just a normal human with human capabilities and I also bruise real easily.
"May I just say.. ouch ..and that I'm happy cos I got my girls to go to the bronze."
"Your girls?" Buffy asks eyebrow raised and a small smile on her lips.
I'm sure I see something new in her eyes but I let it pass and turn away.
No way do I even want to go there
"Yea, your both my girls.."
I smile widely at them both and bring them both into a hug.
"Will you both get a tattoo?"
The bruises I receive next will be there for a month.
"OUCH"
