Chapter 4- Prezzies, Angel and condoms
Buffy raced through the halls, trying to catch up with Xander and Willow, lately she was a different girl. She was constantly happy, always focused and had the all- around perfect life to the juniors and seniors at the school. She stopped as she noticed that Willow was talking about a party. A small curve of a smile came across her lips. She backed away slightly as to warn them before she overheard any surprise plans.
" So guys who's birthday were you talking about? Should I buy prezzies?" She looked innocent then couldn't resist but laugh.
" Oh I dono it's nothing big," Xander shrugged.
"I she isn't really worth it," commented Willow.
Buffy gave them a sour look," You guys better be joking because I expect a killer party!" She joked when two warm hands came behind her back and embraced her. Awww.' she thought. It was Riley her new beau, he was a senior goody-goody but damn fine. She smiled at her prized trophy!
" Hey Riley, and what do we owe the pleasure of your presence?" Buffy glanced at him scanning his broad shoulders and wide smile. He sure was eye candy but nothing compared to the trademark Angel left on this school. Even though he moved away people still carried out his memory. It was kinda sad kinda nice. Oh God, Angel. She got this brilliant smile and all of a sudden she was glowing.
" Wow, I never knew you were so happy to see me!" Riley smiled. He would think that too. Buffy crossed her arms. He is slightly um..daft? Angel might have been cryptic and mysterious but he was deep and wow was he hott.. She awoke startled to see Xander's hand scanning her face.
" Hello earth to Buffy?"Xander just seemed surprised that she spaced.
" Oh sorry guys, Dawn's been keeping me up. She likes to sleep in my room and you know how that can be. Oh god I can't wait for my birthday." She just sighed and went into a dream state again.
"What's up with her?" Xander looked slightly alarmed.
" Oh maybe a certain someone is on her mind." Willow smiled devilishly.
"Willow!" Buffy gave her those penetrating eyes indicating to shut her mouth. When Willow and her got really close back when she was 14 a couple months after Angel left she had to vent out her frustration to someone and trusted Willow with her secret love to this day. Willow just went all smiles and made sounds of understanding.
After first period her and her friends reconvened for lunch in the Cafeteria. Riley came like he usually did and sat next to her. He put his huge oaf of an arm around her sorta weighing her down. Buffy sent signals to Willow of discomfort so Willow quickly piped up and stated, "So Riley can you erm help me uhh.. read this..yes that's it..i forgot my glasses." She smiled stupidly and Buffy mouthed a thank you as Riley moved to the other side of the table. Her and Riley didn't really "click" She was the "it" girl and he was, "Riley" all muscles no brains. She was deep and he was a flake. Hopefully when, or if Angel kept his promise she could ditch him, softly and join the arms of her true lover. Angel O'Connor. After Angel left that horrible Thursday, Buffy made book of them and the last page was called "future" with doodles of "Mrs. Buffy O'Connor" all over them, but what she didn't know was that maybe Angel had changed? Maybe he was..different. It had been two years.
When Buffy got home she noticed her new neighbor of two weeks had already refurbished Angel's old house. It seemed colder, less of a family more of..well.a man. And that was who it was. His name was Rupert Giles, a British man who moved from England for his work in America. He is a Liberian. That's what baffled me, ok why would he have to move from England to America I doubt we have more libraries. Buffy sorta chuckled at the thought, of it when her mom came racing down the stairs.
"Buffy! Buffy!" Her mom wailed from the top of the stairs.
"Mom you don't have to yell I am right here!" Buffy put her hands on her hips.
"Ok ok sweetie I was wondering if you could watch Dawn I have a date."
"Ew." It escaped from her mouth she really hadn't wanted it to sound like that. Her dad split after Dawn's first birthday.
" Oh come on, just because I am a mom doesn't mean my life is over Buffy!"
"Sorry mom that came out wrong.Um yeah sure why not! But before you go don't forget to use condoms!" Buffy hollered. Her mother almost fell down the stairs. She loved teasing her.
"Oh sweetie don't worry I already bought some they are in my purse!" Buffy's eyes bulged. Joyce laughed, "Ha see the old cat still has a few jokes in her to counter act yours!"
"MOM DON'T DO THAT" Buffy shuddered a bit. Old people making out was not a healthy image for her. " Alrite where is Dawn, that little rugrat moves like crazy!"
" The restaurant's number is on the fridge same with my cell and his pager so if you need to contact me do so!" Joyce was about to leave when Buffy stopped her.
" Do you want a code word?" Buffy stated.
"A code word? For what?" Joyce looked confused.
"Don't play dumb with me mom you know what I mean. Incase it's really bad." Joyce burst out laughing. The things kid's come up with these days!
"NO that's fine, now go find Dawn! Goodbye sweetie!"
