Chapter 3
The bell rang, signaling the end of school. Willow made her way through the library, looking around the hallway for either Cordelia or Xander. She found neither.
Willow pushed the doors open and walked in, stopping. There were Xander and Cordelia. Sitting at opposite ends of the table. She sighed and walked over to Cordy, who would be easier since they were both girls.
The young Wicca sat down beside her. "Hey, Cordy. What're you reading?"
Cordelia looked up, and Willow thought she saw a tear-stained face. "Just an old book Giles told me to look through. Research thing. You know, for the demon Buffy encountered."
"How long have you been here?"
"Since lunch. Giles doesn't know because he's been in his office the whole time."
Willow nodded. "So. Find anything?" Cordelia shrugged. "I found something about an orange demon and a blue demon, but no blue and orange with horns demon."
"Willow," said a voice. Xander's no doubt. Willow turned.
"Uh, yeah?"
"Could you come over here for a sec?"
Willow stood up and walked over to the table where Buffy and Xander sat. "What's up? Did you find the demon?"
"Yes, actually. But that's not why Xander called you here," Buffy answered.
Willow frowned. "Oh. Then.why?" She looked over Xander's shoulder at the open book and gasped. "Oh my God! Is that really the demon?"
Buffy rolled her eyes. "Yeah, it is."
Xander looked from Willow to Buffy, who smiled encouragingly.
He sighed. "I.no, what.wait."
Willow raised an eyebrow. "What?"
Xander paused, looking at Willow. "What were you talking to Cordelia about?"
Buffy rolled her eyes. "Oh, come on, Xander! You know that wasn't what you wanted to say."
Xander turned red.
"Well.it.uh.it was some girl thing. You know?" Willow stammered.
"It wasn't about me, was it?" Xander asked.
This time it was Willow who turned red. "N-n-n-no! Of course not! I have to go." With that, she grabbed her bag and flew out of the library, embarrassed.
