Chapter 8 - Results and Surprises
Finding a seat was near impossible today. All the students seemed to cumulate around one room, lining up in rows like penguins to get to food.
Willow looked down at her plate.......
Meat loaf with lumpy mash. UGH!
*When were they gonna change the menu?*
She had half a mind to bring something in from home but realised she didn't have the time, schoolwork being her main priority. Not to mention Oz! Collecting her tray she pushed her way through the throng of students to some space in the middle of the floor. Scanning the room quickly she didn't notice the waving coming from a side table.
"Hey Willow, over here!"
Willow looked up. She could have sworn someone had called her name......
"HEY WILL"
Louder this time... she turned feeling a little embarrassed, and strut toward Anya's table. "Sorry Ayn, didn't see you"
"No prob., I doubt anyone can hear anything with this noise. What's up?" Anya noted Willow carelessly drop her tray on the table.
"I'm guess I'm just worried about Buffy. I didn't see her at all this morning. She got up before me, made her bed and everything"
Anya shrugged "These tryouts mean a lot to her......I mean...who wouldn't pass up a chance to get one over on Cordelia?"
"I guess." she replied absentmindedly looking around the tables. "She's supposed to be meeting me here for lunch."
"Maybe she's stuck at the back of the line?"
Willow turned sharply, noticing for the first time the petite blond hared girl sitting beside Anya.
"Oh,....sorry Will" Anya nearly jumped out of her seat in embarrassment "This is..uh..Veruca. She just moved here from Ohio. Veruca this is Willow....she's a friend of mine.."
"Hi" she gave half a smile which Willow returned warmly.
"So you come from Ohio?"
"S...not originally" she stuttered "we travel around a lot. When my mother died I came here to live with my aunt."
"What classes are you taking?" Willow asked watching as Veruca brought out her timetable and started reading.......
"Geometry, sociology, English, chemistry, Phys Ed, IT......."
"Hey, we both have chemistry together! you can sit with me and Oz!" Willows smile brightened, "And IT. If there's any thing you need help with or anything...I'm so the net girl!"
Anya leaned in close to Veruca and whispered "Oz is her boyfriend" to which she smiled.....

1:25pm
45 Minutes Spike had been in that room. 45 Minutes spent listening to a lecture on rules and regulations not to mention tardiness and the hazards of smoking. He didn't know anyone could yell so much... He even confiscated his cigarettes. Lucky for him he kept a spare packet in his glove compartment. But he was still pissed, luckily he saw someone he knew......
Buffy looked up from her place on the bench "Spike" she whispered
What would she say? She practically yelled at him the last time she saw him. She couldn't help but feel fuzzies in her stomach when she was around him which would cause her to come over all shy. He was almost by her now...she took a deep breath......held it..........
"Hi"
"Hey"
"I was wondering if I might..schedule a tutoring session, say..for.....after school, today?"
Buffy looked up at him suddenly becoming flushed and angry at the fact that tutoring was all he wanted her for. "Did Cordelia put you up to this?"
Spike was taken aback...
"Hey, hey.. we are paranoid aren't we Luv"
"You shouldn't stay long" she said, shying away from the awkward situation.
"Your cold"
"You can handle it"
"I mean you look cold.....here" Before she can protest he takes off his jacket placing it on her shoulders.
"Uh...thank you"
"Your welcome Luv" he said giving her a wink "So what about tonight?"
"I......." Just before Buffy could react they were both interrupted by a voice over the overhead speaker. Buffy could tell immediately it was Cordelia Chase, recognised by her superior tone in which she looked down on others. "HERE IS THE LIST OF THOSE WHO MADE THE SQUAD. NOW REMEMBER THERE ARE ONLY EIGHT PLACES SO THOSE OF YOU WHO DIDN'T GET IN...WELL....THATS JUST TOUGH! OK HERE WE GO.......... MEGAN BRODY, BRITNEE BROWER, FREDERICA BROWN, LISHANNE DAVIS GWEN DITCHIK AMBER GROVE, MARCY ROSS AND ....................AND........................BUFFY SUMMERS!"
She couldn't believe it. Did she really hear what she think she did? She was on the squad?
"Congratulations Luv"
Her eyes flickered for a brief moment like awakening from a dream. She turned back to where Spike was standing, only to notice he had started to walk away. Suddenly she realised something and began to call after him.....
"HEY WAIT! WHAT ABOUT YOUR JACKET?"
"GIVE IT TO ME TONIGHT" he called back "WHEN I COME OVER"
*Great* Buffy thought *he's coming over!!! She'd have to miss Phys Ed to get ready!*
TBC....ON PT2!!!
