Chapter 1: Mistaken Magick

Buffy Summers was an attractive girl of seventeen with blonde hair and hazel eyes. As she waited outside for her friends to walk to school with, she saw and least four couples holding hands and found herself wishing she had someone's hand to hold.

Her boyfriend, Riley, of four months, had just broken up with her a week ago and she was still quite vulnerable and needed people around her so she wouldn't try anything stupid like start making-out with the milk man. Seriously. She had known a girl who had done that back when she was at Hemry, the last school she went to in Los Angeles before moving to Sunnydale.

She had thought they had something special that no one else had and never would have. But she found out he was just using her so he broke it off when he found out that she found out about his plan.

"Thinking of someone?" A cheerful voice said behind her.

"Hey Xander," Buffy said to her long time friend Xander Harris. "Where's Willow?'' she asked referring to her other best friend Willow Rosenberg, "She's usually the one waiting for us."

"I know weird, huh? I tried calling last night but her mom said she was out with someone."

"Tara someone?" Buffy asked. Willow and Tara had been spending a lot of time with each other and Buffy was glad since Willow had someone to practice magick with.

"I don't know. Her mom didn't say."

"Hey!" Buffy and Xander turned around and saw Willow looking more overly happy than usual and that hadn't happend since Oz left.

"What's wrong?'' asked Buffy immediately.

"Nothing. Can't your bestest buddy in the whole wide world be happy once in a while?'' asked Willow.

"Yes she can. By all means. But when the so said friend is overly happy the so said friend is usually in trouble," Xander answered.

"We... Well yes maybe something bad di...did happen" Willow answered.

"What do you mean something bad might have happened?'' asked Buffy curiously.

"Well let's just say I was practicing magick with Tara and I accidentally transformed her into something."

"Transformed her in to what exactly?"

"A mouse for example. A rat, I think, to be exact," The red head answered fearfully.             "Oh my gosh Willow, that's horrible!" shrieked Buffy.

"Wow, I never thought you were that powerful Will," Xander said.

"I'm not," answered Willow, "It's just that I was thinking of Oz and what I would like to do to him, should he ever come back, when we were doing a spell. And then Kablooie! I opened my eyes and Tara wasn't there. Then I looked a little harder and found a mouse under my bed. I don't know how I knew but I knew it was her and the worse part is I don't know how to reverse it."

"Oh Willow what are you gonna do?" Buffy asked worriedly.

"I don't know. I guess I have to keep her like a pet until I've found the reversal spell," Willow said.

By now they had reached Sunnydale High where they all went to school. As Buffy was walking up the steps to the main hallway with Willow and Xander she noticed a group of people under the trees on the other side of the big adobe building.

They were what people called the ''cool'' group.The group consisted of Parker Abrhams, Angel O'Connor, Anya Jenkins, Cordelia Chase, Paul Jameson , and Jesse Thomas. And how Buffy despised them.

There was a time when Buffy, Xander, and Willow were friends with them and Buffy had even been dating Angel.

But after Buffy, Willow, and Xander got back from Los Angeles for Spring Break, Angel and his group wanted nothing to do with them. They didn't know why though. Buffy suspected that either they were jealous that they were stuck in town or they just thought Buffy and her friends saw themselves above the others.

As soon as they saw Buffy, Willow, and Xander all they did was glare at them since they were too far away to say something vile. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

To get to their lockers, Buffy, Willow, and Xander had to pass by the office. Everyday Buffy passed it without so much as a glance toward it but today was different. Something told her to look in the office just to make sure nothing would go unoticed.

And that's exactly what she did- she looked in the door way to the office and saw a really attractive guy with bleach blonde hair and a leather jacket on. He was thin and pale with piercing blue eyes. His cheek bones were set high and Buffy wondered if it was humanly possible to have them that high.

Buffy was sure she had never seen him before because if she had she would have made sure he was hers.

Hmmmmm..... she thought New Guy. He's really cute, too. Bad Buffy. Stop it. You're just getting over Riley. Now's not the time to be thinking of dating other guys.

Buffy made a mental note in her mind to get to know this ''New Guy'' and decide if he was boyfriend material even though she already had this suspicion he was. Because whatever it took he was going to be hers.
