"Wow, who's the new girl"

"Look at her"

Buffy could here them whispering and looking at her when she walked into the room, but she just kept looking at her brand new blue and white Gallaz. Buffy's mother was too busy so busy she forgot to enroll Buffy at Sunnydale High School, but after a quick talk Buffy was able to enroll mid-term. It seemed like a nice school, except her principal looked like an impotent nazi with a bug up his arse the size of an emu. Buffy grinned as that thought entered her head, then she realised the teacher was speaking to her.

"Would you like to introduce yourself to the class then take a seat" the teacher pointed at an empty seat towards the back of the room just behind the red-head she'd seen at the mall. Buffy glanced around at the class and took a deep breath.

"My name is Buffy Summers, I'm 17 years old and I just moved to Sunnydale from L.A with my mum. I have no brothers or sisters."

She stopped and looked at her teacher. The teacher (she'd forgotten her name) just nodded and Buffy took her seat. The teacher 'Ms. Calendar' Buffy suddenly remembered, began to write things on the board. The red-head turned around in her seat and smiled at Buffy.

"Hey, I'm Willow," she whispered. She pointed at the dark scruffy boy sitting next to her, " and this is Xander"

Xander turned around and gave her a big goofy smile. Buffy smiled back, un-sure what to say next since they already knew her name.

"So you just moved here from L.A?" Willow continued, "wow, I would love to go there."

There conversation was cut off when Ms. Calendar began talking about what she was writing. Buffy started furiously scribbling determined not to be behind.

"Did everyone else see the new girl", Xander piped up to his group at lunchtime, " Same girl we saw at the mall the other day."

Liam's ears pricked at this, he'd been strangely fascinated by the girl that had been looking at him, and why she had suddenly run from them.

"I'd give her a go anyday," the platinum blonde Spike spoke up.

His girlfriend Faith immediately smacked him across the chest.

"What, my sex isn't good enough for you, don't I give you lots n lotsa orgasms Spikey." Faith pouted.

Spike looked down as the rest of his friends smirked at him. Even Oz managed a slight smile. Willow looked up to see Buffy standing near the entrance of the lunchroom looking lost, Willow caught her eye and waved her over.

"Hi Buffy, let me introduce you to everyone," she pointed to the platinum blonde with the the reddish blonde on his lap, " This is Spike and Faith." Spike offered a smile while Faith did a little wave. She pointed to the boy sitting to her, "and this is my boyfriend Oz. The girl with Xander, that's Cordelia and finally," she pointed at the dark boy on her left, "This is Liam." Liam offered Buffy a small smile before returning to poking at his food. "Would you like to sit with us?"

Buffy smiled, relieved with the kinda offer, "Thankyou" she said as she sat down next to Spike and Faith.

'Phew' Buffy thought as she sat on the school steps waiting for her mum to come pick her up 'First week finally over.'

Yes, that's right she had made it through her first week in one piece. She hadn't really associated with anyone but her and Willow were becoming fast friends and it was helping her feel more included within the group.

She turned her head as she felt someone tap her on the shoulder. It was Xander.

"Sup Buf?"

Buffy smiled at him as he sat down beside her.

"If your not up to anything tonight," he continued "would you like to hang with us at the Bronze."

"The Bronze?" Buffy had heard a bit about the Bronze but she didn't know exactly what it was.

"Under-age club, the only place in Sunnydale to be," Cordelia said as she joined the two, "its in the bad part of town."

"Where's that?"

"About a half-a-block from the good part of town. They let anybody in but its still the scene."

"I'll see," Buffy said as her mum drove up to the curb. "Hopefully see you guys tonight" she said as she jumped up.

"Catchya Buf"

"Cya"

Buffy jumped into the car feeling happier than she had in days. She had great new friends she was actually understanding what was happening at school and she was away from HIM. Even her mother noticed the difference when she jumped into the car.

"You look so happy Buffy, this move seems to have done wonders for you," Joyce commented as she pulled away.

"Everything just seems to be going well, and well while we're having this talk, can I go out tonight," Buffy smiled at her mother.

"Well I suppose so as long as you give me all the details and don't get home too late"

Buffy gave her mum all the details and then decided to try and push her luck.

"So mum, now that your trusting me more, does that mean I'm showing more maturity"

"No license Buffy"

Buffy sighed. 'Ah well it was worth a try.'

As Buffy entered the Bronze that night she felt awkward and out of place. She never liked to turn up to things by herself, especially if it was a place she'd never been before or with people she didn't know. She scanned the room un-able to find her friends. As she was about to leave, someone tapped her on the shoulder. Buffy turned around to find Liam standing there. She found herself getting lost in his dark, soulful eyes. The lights seemed to dim and the noise around her started to fade, all she could see was him. Willow's voice snapped her out of it.

"Hey guys!"

Buffy turned to her and smiled, "Hey Will."

Though she'd only known Willow for a short amount of time they were fast becoming great friends. As the rest of her friends turned up Buffy began to feel more at ease, though she couldn't help but sneak a few peeks at Liam.

'He's so tall and dark and handsome and..'

Buffy snapped herself out of it, no matter what he looked like there could never be anything between them ever!.

When Buffy returned home later she felt elated. She felt like she hadn't had had this much fun in years. That night Buffy fell asleep with a smile on her face She felt nothing could go wrong. That was until she woke up the next morning and found on her pillow, a drawing of her sleeping….
