RATED: PG- 13 to R for violence, adult content, and adult language in later chapters.

A/N the words in Italic are for when people are speaking a different language. Also the story is going to start off slow, but it'll pick up later. I promise.

Chapter 1

"Come on Cordy. You have to listen to me!" Xander begged as Cordy looked at him with utter distaste. They were in the middle of the courtyard at school so everybody heard them yelling. It's been a whole day since the love spell incident and everybody was trying to forget.

"No you listen to me Xander!" Cordelia snapped pointing an accusing finger into his chest. "For months now I've been dating you and look what it's gotten me. I've had to stay in that stuffy old library and my social status has gone down. And now my real friends don't want to hang around me." Cordelia stopped for a second as she noticed her Cordettes walking up behind her for support.

"So..." Cordelia started, putting her Queen C act into full effect. "the best thing for you to do is go back to your loser friends and leave me alone!" she shouted the last part out. Xander looked at her with wide eyes. He was heart broken. Lowering his head he quickly walked away from the Queen of Sunnydale.

"Xander!" Willow yelled out his name. Not stopping Xander just kept walking. As she tried to walk where he was Buffy put a restraining hand on her shoulder.

"Don't Willow...." Buffy started. "Xander needs to be alone right now."

"But..." Willow tried to protest.

"Just trust me Willow." Buffy said as she looked over her shoulder and gave Cordy a murderous glare. Obviously she used her Slayer hearing to eavesdrop on what Cordy said to Xander.

"Xander needs to be alone." With that said Willow slumped her shoulders and looked at the retreating back of her best friend since childhood.


Xander walked the halls of Sunnydale High not watching where he was going.

"Sorry." Xander automaticly blurted out as he walked into somebody. Looking up or rather down, he saw the form of the troll Principal Snyder. Xander let out a groan.

'Just fucking great.' Xander thought to himself. 'I've just been humiliated in front of the entire school now I have to deal with this guy.'

"Watch where you're going next time buddy!" The Troll yelled as he brushed his suit off with his hands. Then Snyder looked at Xander as if reconsidering something.

"Actually I'm glad I bumped into you." Snyder said as he grabbed Xander by the arm. Xander let out another groan. 'What is it this time?' he thought to himself as he was led to the principals office.

"What!" Xander yelled as Snyder told him his plan. "But I'll miss school." Xander complained.

"You are hardly a model student Harris." Snyder stated coldly. "Besides I said that it's a student exchange program." he explained only for Xander to look at him dumbly.

"Which means that you will be going to school in another country." Snyder further explained.

"Ohhhh." Xander said as he nodded his head. "But...." he was going to further complain but then he thought about it. 'What the hell do I have to lose. I get a chance to leave Sunnydale and all this wierdness behind. Plus I get to travel and I want have to think about Cordy.'

"You have a deal." Xander said as he shook Snyder's hand.

1 week later

"So you're really leaving?" Willow asked from inside of Xander's room. It wasn't hard to convince his parent's to let him leave out of the country. If anything they were thrilled.

"Yeah." Xander replied as he put more of his stuff into his suitcase. "But don't worry Will, I'll be back in a couple of months."

"You promise?" Willow asked. Xander gave her a lopsided grin before he replied.

"I promise." he said as he gave her a hug. "Besides, I'll miss having my Twinkies." he said with a short laugh, until Willow slapped him on the arm.

"Ow!" Xander yelled. "I'll miss you too Will's."

Xander got his luggage and walked onto his plane, very excited. Even though his friends couldn't be there (because of school) he was still very happy to leave SunnyD. Until he looked out of the planes window and saw Cordy staring up at him .

"What the hell is she doing here?" he asked himself as she waved her hands around frantically. She had heard only a few hours ago that he was leaving. The first thing that popped into her head was to meet him and tell him how sorry she was.

Cordy even went as far as to blow off her friends. By telling them that she could date anyone she wanted too and that she didn't need permission. But to her disgust, she was a few minutes late to tell the man she liked... no the man she was falling in love with, that she was sorry.

As the plane started to take off, all the two could do was stare at each other until they were out of sight.
