Chapter 4

"Seriously, Will, last night there was definitely something there. I mean, I felt like what ever it was was following me, or watching me. But I couldn't see anything. Maybe my slayer senses were just wigging out or something," Buffy said.

She and Willow were sitting on a large couch in the middle of one of U.C. Sunnydale's student centers while they had a few minutes between classes.

"I'm sure you weren't imagining things. You're always right on when it comes to sensing danger or the supernatural. But maybe it was just some creepy vamp that was watching you."

"Great. Now I have a creepy vampire stalking me. What next? A slayer fan club?"

"Well.you never know!" Willow laughed and Buffy just rolled her eyes. The last thing she wanted was a fan club of demonic stalkers. It was bad enough when Angel lost his soul, only that was a little more personal, and, well, scarier.

"We better go, Buff. Don't wanna be late for Psych."

"Yeah. Professor Walsh doesn't seem like the very forgiving type."

So Buffy and Willow got up and collected their books, and headed towards "Psychology 101".

"Hey Buffy!" Riley said enthusiastically as she and Willow walked into the classroom. "Hi Willow."

Both girls said hello, and continued to find seats. Once she was sure that Riley wasn't still watching her, or still checking out Buffy, Willow playfully elbowed her friend in the side. "Hey Buffy!" She said, trying to imitate Riley's flirty-yet-shy expression. "He soo wanted to say more than that."

"Please! He was just being friendly," Buffy responded, slightly flustered, "He said hi to you too."

"Not the same way. Yours was a very special "Hey!!" with lots of exclamation points, mine was just a friendly "hi".

Buffy just shook her head. It was kind of cute how Riley acted around her, and it made her feel nice that someone who was just a normal, average, attractive guy may actually like her, but she still wasn't into Riley any more than as a friend.

"Buffy, pay attention!" Willow whispered to her friend. "You almost nodding off and She was looking right at you!"

"Oh, um, thanks."

Buffy tried to focus for the rest of class, but the lecture that Professor Walsh was giving was very uninteresting, and she was talking about a lot of things that were just over Buffy's head for the moment. She let out a sigh of relief when the bell finally rang to signal the end of the class.
