Bronzing It
I had finally finished changing, trust me it took long enough. Aunt Willow popped in to see if I was still breathing. They are so cute you know, my guardians, Xander and Willow, no wonder mom befriended them. I am constantly wondering what if she hadn't where would I be, maybe in some orphanage or worse I would be living with Giles. Well, Giles is cool and all but his house is super creepy and has the weirdest things he calls, artefacts or movie props, I have reason to believe otherwise. I remember when I was seven and I went into the small cupboard just bellow my bunk bed, the one I sleep in when I am sleepover. Inside were tones and tones of books. Naturally I was about to close the cupboard because me and books well that's just too funny, but then one caught my eye like a rare gem amongst a sea of grey. I picked it up in my hands and opened the worn leather cover. Inside the book to my surprise was a long passage and dreadful pictures of a woman holding a babe in her arms, shielding her from an unknown force. However, what really got me was a young girl, probably my age now, face back walking into a shiny blurb which I identify now as some sort of vortex. The era of the girl is calm and determined, and for some reason it struck a cord in my heart but the passage I was unable to read, it was in symbols and I gave up very quickly. Every since I have been somewhat creeped out at Uncle Giles' house.
It was getting later and Rachel decided that if she didn't want to be late she would have to leave very quickly. Grabbing her leather jacket her mother left to her she was down the stairs and out the door. She had decided on a crimson red top and a black mini. Her long brown hair was woven into loose curls and she had a thin line of black eyeliner.
She hated walking outside by herself and alone, she was 15 and it still made her quiver when walking the streets at night in good old Sunnydale, where nothing happens, besides her mother's murder. Maybe that's why everyone is constantly talking about because nothing else happens in this shit town. Rachel scoffed the sidewalk with her boot and crossed her arms. Trudging on she heard someone or something coming up behind her. Her heartbeat began to race and her pace quickened. She finally turned around to be greated with a familiar black convertible and a smiling young man in front of the wheel!
"Hello Miss. Summers might I be of service?"
"Kevin! God you scared me!" She shook her head and kept walking.
"Well, hop in, its cold out hear besides I would like to talk to you!"
"I don't talk to strangers!"
"hey is that really being fair? I can't help but feel that I have done something to make you upset?"
"Gee, you think?"
"Do share!" Kevin shouted.
"Well, your girlfriend..." Rachel faltered.
"My EX-girlfriend!" Kevin corrected.
"Fine, your EX-girlfriend is out to get me, you are the mysterious older guy stalking me! I mean come on what else I there to say" She felt exasperated and out of breath.
"Well maybe I like you!" Kevin suggested.
"Right, or maybe you just want to hear about my mother and you think getting to me I will open up and explain how she was murdered? Is that it!"
"Far from it missy!" Kevin shook his head, "You know what fine, okay, be that way to you always give flack to guys how take interest in you are you just a regular bitch!?"
"Oh well, it's nice to know what you think of me!" She scrunched her brow in an attempt to look angry at his perfectly chiselled face.
"Okay fine, just hop in, I don't want anything happening to you, then if you still want to we can go our separate ways when we reach the bronze! Ok?" Kevin gave a shy smile.
"oh, okay!" She crossed her arms and sat in the passenger's side refusing to look at him!
"You sure are stubborn!" He shook his head.
"They say it comes from my father!" She started to open up a bit, she didn't usually talk about her father to anyone but Kevin made her laugha nd made her blood boil. She could trust him already!
"really? I would like to meet him some time if you don't mind of course!" Kevin supplied waiting for her response.
"I wouldn't mind that if he were still around, my dad's kinda been MIA, for most of my life."
"that's rough, but it looks like you turned out okay, more than okay, he is really missing out!" He patted her on the shoulder.
"Thanks I guess," She was blushing from head to toe. She could tell her and Kevin were going to get along just fine.
"Well It looks like we are here, so um should I leave you here or would you like to come in with ugh, me?" Why was he so nervous around her. He was NEVER nervous with girls. He was the studly jock, who got the girls, and she was even a junior. She must be really special to have him spun like this.
"I think I would like to go with you if you don't mind!" Rachel beamed.
"Not at all!" He took her hand and hoisted her out of the car where they proceeded into the bronze where Ally, Jake and Kate met them.
"Hey, I am Kevin!" He extended his hand to all three juniors the girls took it eagerly but Jake ignored him and looked to the side.
"We know who you are!" Kate suppressed a giggle and Ally winked at Rachel in an approving manner.
"Ooo good song, good song!" Ally squealed, "Jake, let's go dance!" She took his hand and pulled him all the way to the centre of the dance floor.
"Well I see some lonely guy over there so I think I might join them!" getting the hint Kate left in search of her new boy toy and gave Kevin the chance to ask Rachel to dance.
"So, ugh well," Kevin stumbled.
"I'd love to!" And she also led him out into a dark corner of the dance floor.
"This is nice," He stated and wrapped his arms firmly around Rachel's small physique.
"Yea, it really is!" She smiled and just let her head rest on his firm chest.
"Rachel, I was wondering, if well do you want to go out sometime, strictly on weekends and with parent approval of course and I know I am older but," Rachel raised a finger and put it on his lips.
"I would love to!" She drew him in for a kiss. Kevin's face was absolutely picture worthy. He looked so shocked yet content that it made Rachel want to barrel over in a fit of giggles.
After a few more songs and the occaisional kissing, Rachel and Kevin had mutually decided that they had had enough and both took a seat at a table.
"Rachel, sweetie, would you like a drink?"
"Yea that would be great thanks, sprite please!" She tilted her head backwords!
"Sure!" Kevin left and went to the bar. As soon as he left like a cat on the prowl Courtney, who had been sercretly watching him from the corner of her eye, glided over swiftly with two of her snake like friends.
"I know what you are trying to do little girl, and it won't work, because when it comes down to it, Kevin won't want some little girl anymore, he will want the real thing, so give it up princess, Kevin is and always will be mine."
"Oh well I usually like to start a conversation with hello but a threat is always good too!" Rachel rolled her eyes and began clacking her nails on the desk.
"Oh look girls she is trying to fight back, well here's a lesson you better learn and learn it fast, don't play with fire, or you will be challenged."
"What did you get that from your "how to be a bitch" guide, news flash Courtney I am the challenge! Bubye" Rachel put on a sweet smile and waved her hand. Her and her two brainless bimbos made a pucha sorta of sound and walked away just as Kevin was returning.
"Were those girls bothering you?" HE looked concerned. He had obviously already had this problem with other girls Courtney has tried to chase away.
"No, not in the least, actually we were having a nice little chat I would have liked to continue it!" Rachel took a sip from her sprite and smirked.
"Just don't worry about her she is all talk! Would you like a drive home?"
"I would love that thank you!" Rachel smiled and tried to get back to her best spirits.
As they were approaching the door Rachel put her arm around Kevin's waist and leaned in for a chaste kiss right in front of Courtney and if looks could kill, Rachel would be dead. As soon as they got to the car they took of immediately and were cruising down the dark streets of Sunnydale.
Rachel knew when she got home her life would never be the same. She had found someone she thinks she can fall in love with and she isn't going to take the same old shit anymore. That how its done when we are bronzing it!
