when they arrived at the local school, Buffy sent Joyce over to her friends whilst she talked to the teacher about how Joyce was coping with school.
"she's doing great in most areas, but I've found that her social skills aren't up to much, her group of friends consists only of herself and two little boys, she won't talk to the other girls and when I try to pair her up with any of the girls she's have a tantrum".
Buffy stood with her arms folded and listened to the teacher before jumping to her daughter's defence.
"Well, she's around girls most of the time, surely it's okay for her to have male friends".
The teacher continued ignoring Buffy's protests,
"we have two new little girls starting today and I was hoping that Joyce would show them around as she is the oldest in the class, but something tells me that her desperation to be as far away as possible from other little girls will affect how she treats them" she looked worried.
Buffy was quick to respond,
"no no, Joyce was telling me on the way here about these little girls, she was excited about meeting them and she said that she was going to be their best friend"
The teacher smiled at buffy and her expression relaxed.
"well that's a relief" she smiled, "okay I'll let you know later how it went".
Buffy set off back along her street, on the way she almost crashed into two red headed little girls who looked as if they were late for school, they watched her with interest as they hurried by.
Buffy didn't recognise them as the two little girls who had been watching her on patrol the other night.
