Chapter eleven- School Days
It was Buffy's first day back at Sunnydale Elementary School. It was the new school year and she was going into year five. Xander and Jesse were also going into year five that year too.
When Buffy got to school she went straight to the library to check out what books they had on magic because while she had been on holidays she had been to the new magic box a few times and had gotten an interest in magic and thought it didn't hurt her to learn about magic because it was similar to some Slayer stuff.
The library was pretty much empty. There were a few other people there, nobody she new or remembered from last year. She went straight to the computers and typed in magic – spells, potions etc. Buffy then jumped because she was tapped on the shoulder by someone.
"Oh my god! Don't do that ever again, you scared me," said Buffy.
"Sorry Buff. I won't do that ever again," replied Xander.
"What are you doing here? You don't seem the book type."
"No you're right, I'm not the book type but Willow- never mind. I'm here because I saw you come to school and come straight here and I thought I'd say hello."
"Yeah say hello by scaring me, hehehe."
"Anyways what you doing in here? I didn't think you were the book type either."
"Well I'm not really a book type either, I'm just researching some stuff but I can do that later."
"Oh no, it's okay if you want to do that stuff now.. I can go."
"No stay. It's alright we can just sit here and talk while we wait for the bell to go."
"By the way if you don't mind me asking, why are you researching magic stuff? Do you believe in all that stuff?"
"I think it's interesting, I just wanna know more about it."
"Oh okay then."
"I hope you don't think I'm weird or anything just because I'm interested in magic. Hehe it's not like I'm a witch or something. I'm not going to turn you into a frog."
"Yeah because me as a frog.. not a good thing."
"Frogs are okay, do you have a problem with them?"
"Umm…no."
"So did you end up finding your friend that day?"
"Oh yeah Jesse, yeah I found him. He was a little pissed off that I was late but besides that things were fine. I thought I would see you later that day but when I went to the Youth Centre you weren't there."
"Yeah I left a bit earlier that I thought I would. I went and had a look at some of the shops on Main Street."
"That's okay. Hey do you want to hang with me and Jesse today at lunch?"
"Umm sure. Is there anyone else in your group?"
"Yeah there was but she left and had to go to another school far… far away."
"Oh okay. What was her name? I might have met her in the holidays."
"Oh you wouldn't have met her she left before I met you."
"Okay."
Buffy thought there was something strange about the way Xander talked about his friend and about magic. Buffy didn't think about it for too long because the bell rang and Xander and Buffy walked off to class to find Jesse.
