Chapter 14
When the whole gang assembled together, the bell finally rung and it was time for classes to begin. Everyone was wondering where Buffy had gone off to. Angel was every moment getting more worried and anxious to see her. It was killing him. 'She'll show.' He kept reminding himself as his heart kept on beating faster and faster hoping she was already in the classroom waiting for him and the gang.
*At the same moment
Buffy was outside trying to calm herself. She was so upset that she made such a bad call on Angel. "Why am I letting him get to me like this?" She said to herself. She shouldn't have expected any better from him. Why should she have? "Wutever." She muttered to herself. He's just a guy. The same typical guys she's always met. She only had to be around him one more year and she never had to see him again. "I'll never let him get to me again." Buffy promised to herself as she heard the bell rang. "OH CRAP! I'm gonna be late." She grabbed her books beside her and headed towards her class where everyone was waiting for her.
Everybody was already seated in the class, all except Buffy. Angel, to his disappointment didn't find Buffy there. He kept on looking at the door anxiously waiting for her arrival. Gunn, seeing this, said, "Yo Angel man. Chill. She'll show. Just relax. You're like jumping off your seat every time somebody walks in the class."
"Yea. sure."Angel replied.
Giles finally walked in and started addressing the class.
"Welcome back students. I hope your summer was a time of rest and enjoyment. Because I know that your final year will be brutal and hard on all of you. This is your final year to shine, your final year to prove what you are made of. You will be faced with many new challenges, and many opportunities will be opened for you. Never forget your goal in life, if you work hard this year, your goal will be in your grasp."
Giles stopped talking as he saw his missing student finally walk in.
"Hello Buffy. Glad to see you join our class today. Better late than never no? But it will only be for today. I expect you to be on time everyday understand?"
"Yes, perfectly clear Mr. Giles. I just had some errands to complete."
"Well. please take your seat with the rest of the class Buffy."
"Will do."
Buffy strode over to where Willow and company were at, her eyes fix on Willow. She dared not look anywhere in the classroom since she was scared to see Angel or even make eye contact with him. She didn't need reminding that he probably looked good enough to eat today.
Literally all of the males in the class appreciately looked at Buffy with awe and lust. Especially Angel. "Damn she looks so damn good." Angel muttered to himself. Buffy, wearing an all white outfit consisting of white heeled boots, tight jeans and tight tank top that showed every curve on her body. Angel looking at her beggingly hoping that he got some eye contact with her but with no prevail. She didn't even look around the classroom or even close to him. She just stared straight to where Willow and the girls were sitting.
Giles started again, "As I was saying class. This is the last year to prove what you are capable of. We will be getting into new units that we've never explored in class yet. You will be now trained to use a gun, which types of guns there are, etc. etc. You will need to know how to fully operate surveillance equipment and other necessities needed for a typical government assignment. This year, we will focus on case studies, ideal situations you might be under while working for the government. This will give you a hands on, on what the government expects you to be able to do and handle. You will see in this last year if you can handle it or not. Simple as that."
Giles saw Angel craning his neck to look at somebody, in particular Buffy. He couldn't help but smile a little. He had a feeling once they worked together they would get along. Even more than other people thought perhaps.
"Excuse me Mr. McKillean, what are you doing?"
The whole class including Buffy hesitantly looked at Angel. Angel, a bit embarrassed that he was caught trying to look at Buffy blushed at said, "Oh. nothing Mr. Giles just. you know. Um. yea."
Giles wanted to save him some embarrassment he added, "Well, they'll be enough time for what your doing later. Please follow on what I'm saying from now on please?"
"yea. sure."
Giles couldn't help but smile from Angel's fluster. Oh, he could tell he liked Buffy. More than he wanted it to appear.
Buffy, and the rest of the class had no idea what Mr. Giles meant. "What was he doing?" Buffy thought. Probably just checking out the girls in the class she thought. "Damn. Why did he have to look so good today. Is this some kind of torture for me?" Buffy thought. Damn.she thought. His body got much more defined and muscular. It wasn't gonna help that she was gonna be much more intimate with him when they were going to practise fighting either. "Oh god, this is gonna be a long year." Buffy moaned.
Finally when the bell rung, everybody headed to their next class except for the gang who wanted to talk to Buffy.
"Hey Buffster. How's it going? How come you came to class so late" Xander said.
"Oh, I came in late and had some stuff to do. No biggy."
Angel casually walked into the conversation, trying to look like seeing her didn't mean a thing to him.
"So Buffy," Angel tried to say like he was uninterested,
"How was your summer?"
He couldn't fool his buddies. His friends saw the needy look on his face when he said that to Buffy although his actions said different.
"Fine."
"Do anything exciting?"
"Nope." Buffy was getting tired of talking to him. It was hard trying to act cold. She started walking away.
"Wait" Angel said. Why is she being so cold? He wondered.
"What? Look, we're already late for class, let's go."
"Aren't you gonna ask me how my summer was?" Angel said slyly.
"Nope." And with that, Buffy walked faster out of the room and to her next class. Everybody noticed her coldness to Angel and wondered why she was so cold to him.
"Angel" Willow started.
"WHAT?" Angel said annoyed while he was very disappointed with Buffy's disregard for him.
"Did you guys fight or something? Why was she so harsh with you?"
"How the fuck should I know. Let's get to class. Don't wanna be late." And with that, everybody walked to their next class wondering what the hell happened between them.
*During Lunch
As Buffy walked to their usual table at the cafeteria where the rest of the gang have already seated themselves, she was grabbed instantly by the hand by Angel and asked,
"We need to talk. Walk with me outside?"
Buffy nervously replied, "Sure. Whatever." Trying to sound as if she didn't care.
They walked silently for what seemed forever on both parts until when they were distant from everyone Angel stopped and asked,
"Buffy. What the hell is going on?"
"What do you mean what the hell is going on. Nothing's going on. What are you talking about?" Buffy said, clearly up fronted by his tone of voice.
"What's going on with you? Are you pissed off at me or something?"
"No. What makes you think I'm pissed? Did I go, I'm pissed at you Angel or something?"
"No. It's just your tone with me. Why are you acting like this? Why are you so damn cold to me this morning?"
"What? You asked, how was my summer, I said fine. It's not like I ignored you or something. I did respond to your questions didn't I? So what are you babbling about then?"
"Buffy, look. if there's something going on, I'd like to know cause' I seriously don't know why you're acting so damn bitchy."
Now, Buffy thought. Angel crossed the line.
"BITCHY AM I? If I'm so damn bitchy then, why are you wasting your time talking to a bitch like me? You know what, forget about it, I'm damn hungry. Fuck off."
With that, Buffy stormed off but instead of going back to the cafeteria, she went back to her dormitory, to cool off. So many raw emotions were buzzing through her body, she never got worked up like she always did when Angel was around. He always knew how to push her buttons. Buffy hated the fact that he could get to her, hurt her so damn much. "No, I'll never let him get to me. Never." Buffy said to herself.
*At the same moment
Angel just kept on walking around the school grounds, trying to process what the hell just happened. How did he get into this mess in the first place? He seriously didn't know what the hell was wrong with Buffy, why she was acting this way. God, he knew he made it worse by using the B word. He shoulda known that being referenced a Bitch or Bitchy always push most girls button.
"UGH!" Angel said out loud, he knew he made things worse with her.
When the whole gang assembled together, the bell finally rung and it was time for classes to begin. Everyone was wondering where Buffy had gone off to. Angel was every moment getting more worried and anxious to see her. It was killing him. 'She'll show.'
