Buffy walked on campus looking for what she refered it to as Napping 101. Willow and Tara went off on their own leaving her alone. Oz had left and she felt a pang everytime she thought of him. I never wanted to tell Wil but I had the biggest crush on Oz since they first became an item. Now he's gone. I would've prefered him to stay with her and be around instead of not being here at all. Buffy felt a pang but kept moving. she finally reach Art History with 2 seconds to spare. She found a seat next to a guy with his hood up and his head staring down at a Guitar World magazine. It was the only seat left so she was stuck. She sat down and put her stuff down and took out a notebook and pen. An hour later the bell rand and she got up and ran for the door. I have to find Willow. The Hooded Guy got and took his hood off, and left the room.

Buffy fell to the ground with a big thud. The vampire laughed. Buffy got up and took the stake out of her jacket and advanced on him. She got him with a right roundhouse kick and 2 punches to the face. Knocking him to the ground. Buffy jabbed the stake through his heart and turned to dust.

Buffy got back to her dorm room. Willow's bed was empty. Of course. Buffy went to the mirror and saw a big gash on her arm. It was still bleeding. She got some bandages and bandaids took care of it. She changed into her Pj's and laid down and finally fell asleep.

Buffy walked into Art History, almost late again. The only seat left was, of course, Hood Guy. Buffy groaned and sat down. The guy was reading another Guitar World magazine. Oz used to read that magazine. She felt a pang anf got out a pen and notebook.

"Pst." Buffy looked around. "Psst. Buffy." Buffy looked at the Hood Guy.

"Are you talking to me?" He nodded. "What is it?" The hooded guy took off his hood. Buffy stared at him.

"Oz......" Buffy said loudly but Oz covered he mouth to muffle the noise.

"Shhh."

"Why?"

"I'm not suppose to be here." He whispered. Buffy looked confused.

Class ended and Oz grabbed Buffy's arm and led her out of the classroom and into a spot where no one would her. Oz let go of Buffy's arm.

"I don't want Willow to know I'm here." Buffy frowned. Oz looked at her with smypathy, he was unsure why she was sad.

"What?" He gentle touched her chin up to reveal Buffy's face, tears rolling down her face and swelling up in her eyes.

"Hey hey hey......what is it?" Buffy began to sob. He pulled her into his arms. She cried her eyes out. I love you. I love you so much. Shhe thought. He began to think.

Why is she crying? I don't ever want to see her beautiful face like this. I hurts me to see her this way.

"Hey, why are you cryin', Buff?"

"I.... I missed you." He got her then. Does she like me? I like her.

"I missed you too." He answered back. She kisses him. He kisses her back. He holdes her in his ams as their kissing intensifies. She pulls away snd covers her mouth with her hand.

"Oh god. I'm sorry."

"Why?" He touches her other hand.

"Willow and you......"

"It's over. I know she's with that girl Tara." Buffy looks at him with sad eyes. "I'm sorry I didn't tell you." Oz grabs her neck with his hand and kisses her . She and him get into it. Willow and Tara turned the corner. Willow looks at Buffy ana some boy like make out in the hall.

"Wow, Buffy I mea......" Then she sees the boys features. Red hair. Broud shoulders. Baggie pants. The Clash T-shirt. Vans sneakers. Omgod. Oz.
