I'm Back
Summers House
"Buffy are you ready for school?" Joyce called her from outside her room.
Buffy rolled over and looked at the clock it read 7:21. She rubbed her sleep filled eyes and rolled over to look straight at the ceiling. After spending a few more minutes in bed Buffy finally got out of bed and jumped into the shower. Afterwards, she grabbed a pair of tight dark blue jeans, a black tank top that said babe in red letters, and a pair of black vans. She put on some eyeliner and painted her lips with a light red lipstick. Then she ran a comb through her hair, making it all wavy and shiny. She grabbed her small black backpack and walked downstairs.
"Mom, I'm ready." Buffy called out as she walked down the stairs and into the kitchen where her mother was drinking a cup of coffee and reading the newspaper.
Joyce looked up at her daughter and gave her a tender smile.
"No breakfast Buffy? It is the most important meal of the day, you know," she said as get got up and put her mug in the sink.
"I'm not really hungry," Buffy said.
Joyce smiled and they walked towards the door and drove off.

Sunnydale High School
Buffy got out of the car after kissing her mother good-bye. She slowly walked towards the school, she felt everyone's eyes on her.
Not paying attention to where she was going, she bumped into a red head, and dropped all her books.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to drop your books, let me help you," Buffy said helping the girl to pick up her books.
"Buffy… Buffy Summers?" the girl asked confused.
"That would be me," she said smiling and handing the books to the red head girl who was still looking at her funny.
"I guess you don't recognize me," the girl said taking her books. "I'm Willow Rosenberg… we were best friends in Jr. High."
"Oh my gosh, Willow, Hi," she smiled at her, even though the other girl wasn't really smiling back.
"It's been awhile Buffy," Willow said.
"Yeah it has, I guess when I left we didn't part on the best terms, did we?" Buffy stated.
"Listen Willow, I'm sorry for the way I treated you before I left, I didn't act like a best friend should I guess," she frowned watching everyone walk by them.
Willow started to smile at her, when the bell rang.
"Well, it looks like I have class right now, maybe we could meet later and you can fill me in about everything that has happened in my absence," Buffy asked trying not to sound too needy.
"Sure, why not," Willow smiled.
"Cool, I'll catch you later." She said leaving Willow to go to her first class. It had been forever since she was last in this school, everything looked the same but it felt different.

Lunch Time
'Maybe he moved,' Buffy thought.
"Buffy… Hi," a voice from behind her said, Buffy turned around to come face to face with Willow.
"Hi Willow," she smiled, happy that she had someone to talk to.
"If you like you could eat lunch with us, I mean you don't have to… I just saw you here alone and I thought maybe I should come say hi or say nothing… then I came and now here I am," she finished explaining while trying to catch her breath.
"I would like that," Buffy said smiling at her, Willow smiled back an they both walked towards a table where some guys sat talking.
"Hey guys, guess who's back?" the read head said pointing to Buffy who just smiled. She felt weird being with her old best friends.
They stopped talking. There was a brown haired boy wearing a buttoned down black shirt, with a red t-shirt under it and blue jeans and the other boy had blue hair, a green shirt and a pair of black bagging pants.
"Well, if it isn't Buffy Summers back in Sunnydale," the brown hair boy laughed.
"Hi Xander, I know before I left we didn't really were friends but I'm not a stuck up princess anymore, I realized that I was wrong treating you guys that way and I understand if you don't want to forgive me," she said playing nervously with her hands.
Xander stood up, walked over to Buffy and smiled giving her a friendly hug, "Welcome back Buff," he said.
She beamed at him, "I missed you guys so much," Buffy said, as Willow, Xander and Buffy sat down at the table.
"Buffy this is Oz," Willow said pointing to the blue hair boy, he waved at her.
"Buffy it's good to have you here," Willow said giving her a hug, Buffy smiled and hugged her back. Willow thought to herself how happy she was to have Buffy back as her friend again.
"I changed guys, I just wanted to tell you that because while I was gone I realized what a jerk I was to you, you guys were my only real friends."
"Since you were gone so many things have happened, you'll never believe some of them, like Xander had a thing with Cordelia Chase… they were kind of seeing each other secretly. But then Xander got tired of her and now he is dating Anya Jenkins, Cordelia's cousin, it was a big drama thing at the time," Willow explained.
"Wow Xander," Buffy couldn't believe how much Xander and Willow had changed.
Willow took a sit next to Oz and Buffy saw them holding hands, she was surprised to find out Willow had a boyfriend.
"You have a lot to catch up," Xander said.
"Yeah, oh Idea… we could all go to the Bronze tonight, it will be like old times," Willow smiled, Oz gave a half smiled and nodded at his girlfriend's idea.
"Sure sounds like a plan," Buffy smiled.
"Um so Willow, is everyone else still the same?" Buffy asked, looking around at all the kids sitting down eating their lunch.
"Yeah pretty much, but not everyone's the same, you remember Angel's brother, right?" Willow asked taking a sip of her drink.
"William? Yes I remember him," she answered.
"Well, he isn't William anymore, now he goes by Spike and he's been doing this whole Billy idol thing since our sophomore year." Xander laughed.
"Buffy," a voice from behind said.
She turned around to come face to face with her prince.
"Angel," she whispered.
Next Chapter: Are you in love with her?
