Chapter 2
"Class," Giles pronounced, "I'd like you to settle down. I'm here to tell you that we will be shortly be having a new addition to the class."
"What??" Several of the class exclaimed. He immediately got the classes attention now. It was rare indeed that anyone would join their school in this grade during such a late stage in training. You were either accepted in the school at the beginning of Gr.8 or not. No more no less.
"Well yes class. This young female is an exception. She has been training under other influences and from what I can tell, she will easily catch up and fit right in. She has been training combat and has been using weaponry from what I understand for quite some time now. She was the one that the Government were actually trying to persuade to join our school since she was in Gr.8 and after many failed attempts, her parents reluctantly let her go because they felt she needed to have a social life. So I expect the best behaviour from all of you and welcome her to our class. I know you may have bonded over the years, but I expect you to treat her as if she were family. Understand?"
The class replied in unison, "Yes Mr. Giles."
"Good. I expect her any minute now. Anyways. Oh look, there she is."
Buffy Summers reluctantly opened the door to her awaiting class. She looked at her teacher and the class. It was a pretty big class to Buffy's eye. She's never been around that many people around her age through her entire life. And the fact that everyone was staring at her didn't help either. Buffy was unbeknownst to herself that she was a rare beauty. She was looked at wherever she went and most of the time she never even noticed. Her slender, petite body has fooled many from seeing the strength she has gained from her previous training. Her golden simmering hair glided along her shoulder in an alluring manner to literally all men. And many women have felt threatened by her because of her innocent ways. Yet anyone who had the pleasure of meeting her knew not to take her lightly. She demanded to be treated respectfully; she didn't take crap from anyone and was very independent. She was nothing at all, like the typical girl.
"Ah yes. Welcome Buffy. Welcome to your class and well your new home as you may call it. I'm."
Buffy cut him, "Mr. Giles I believe." Giles replied, "Yes. and I'll be teaching you for the next two years before you fulfill your duties onwards. I'll be like your second father if you wish and hope you enjoy your stay. Class please say hello to your new classmate, Buffy."
In unison the class replied "Hi!."
"Um. hi everyone." Buffy replied nervously.
"Well Buffy, can you please tell us a little bit of yourself now?"
"Yea. sure. As you know, I'm Buffy Summers, came all the way from New York and have no idea how to survive without the normal 4 seasons in California. Umm. lets see. I'm 18, been training since I was 8 and I've participated in many competitions throughout the world and I like to travel."
"Very nice to hear" Giles knew she would make an excellent addition to his class since he already knew her high credentials and he knew she would make an excellent asset.
"Well Ms. Summers." "Please call me Buffy." "Well yes Buffy can you please take a seat next to Willow Rosenburg, the one with the red hair and get yourself acquainted with our classmates." "Will do." As Buffy strolled next to Willow.
"Hi Buffy. I'm Willow. Please to meet you." "Hi Willow. I can see you know who I am already. Nice to meet you."
"It's very rare that we get to meet someone new. You being here is big news in our little world. We live in the school and since this is a gifted school we don't get newcomers during the last 2 years of training as you see." Willow cheerfully replied.
"Well its no biggy. Nothing exciting about me I assure you. I just feel so awkward. I'm not used to this much attention."
"Well don't sweat. You'll only have to get used to it in the beginning. As I said, its very big news that you're here. We've all known each other since Gr.8 so the fact that we have new flesh is huge."
"Oh." Buffy said disappointedly, "I guess I'm just gonna be an outkast then in your groupie."
Willow shocked replied, "Oh no. Don't think that. Trust me, from the way you are I can tell you'll fit right in. In due time I bet you'll be one of the most popular girls in school. You know you're very pretty. I can see the guys all over you now as all of them were checking you out when you walked in."
Buffy couldn't help but blush at her reply, "Oh I doubt that. But I really hope I fit in. I've never really had many friends, didn't get out much."
"I'm sure you'll do fine. You already have me right?"
Buffy already cheering up that she has a friend happily replied, "I guess I do. I can see us being real good friends in no time."
"Same here." Willow knew she was a girl who she would become close with. She has a good feeling about this girl already.
