Chapter 22


Buffy's POV

I'm waiting for Angel to pick me up for school. I can't help but think of what happened yesterday as I'm sitting here in our front door. So much happened yesterday. It was...nice. I can't help but remember the time when Faith was holding the book shelf on her back in order for me not to get...squished. It was so...romantic. I mean...I felt like a princess being saved by my prince charming. Not that Faith's a prince charming and all, coz she's a girl...but does that make her...my princess charming? I can't but laugh.

I looked at my watch. It's only 7 in the morning. I don't know why I woke up early. I mean...I'm not the person who wakes up at 5 in the morning just to go to school. But today...I just did. And I know why. I wanted to see my 'princess charming.' Buffy! Gat a grip! Faith is not your 'princess charming'! She never will be! You're straight remember! So don't think about her like that! I sigh and stood up as I heard Angel's car. I slowly got my things and walked towards Angel. I sat in front and gave him a peck in his lips.

"You waiting long?"

"No..."

"Good...because I don't want my girl to wait..."

I gave him a forced smile and turned to look at the window. Yeah...I'm Angel's girl...I should be happy...

Faith's POV

FUCK! My back really hurts! I'm heading towards my locker to get my things. I can't help but frown at the pain. Can I really run in this condition? Martha bandaged my back. It's kinda tight but it's a good thing that the bruises were below my breast or else...she might badaged it too. I looked around and noticed no one was around. I looked at my watch. It's only 7:20...so where's everyone? Wait a minute... I looked at my watch closely and noticed the hands weren't moving. Fuck! Don't tell me it died! Then...what time is it really! I looked around and saw a clock up in the ceiling. It's 8:00. SHIT! I'm dead! I quickly ran towards the classroom ignoring the pain in my back. I looked inside it and noticed no one was there. Where the hell are they!

Buffy's POV

We were in the auditorium listening to the principals orders. He was telling us that the library will be usable when the damages are repaired. I can't help but sink on my seat. I feel really embarassed when Mr. Anderws spotted me and glared at me. Everyone around me looked at me for awhile and I couldn't help but sink even more on my seat. Stop the staring already! Luckily someone opened the door. Thank you! Whoever you are! You're a real life saver! I sat up and saw Faith. It's...Faith? She was somewhat out of breath. Mr. Andrews saw her.

"Well, well, well...Ms. Spencer...it's nice of you to join us...please...have a seat."

I watched her as she slowly walked towards an empty seat beside Julia.

Faith's POV

I can feel everyone's eyes on me as I walked towards the empty seat next to Julia. I was about to seat down when the great and mighty Mr. Andrews open his big mouth again.

"Everyone...why don't we give Ms. Spencer a round of applaus...since she saved Ms. S-"

I wasn't going to let him humiliate Buffy...so I stopped him before he says her name.

"I appreciate it but...I don't think I need an applaus or anything..."

"Oh? Why not? You risked you're own life to save someone...and almost destroyed the library in the proccess...isn't that worthy enough for everyone to applaud you?"

I shrugged at him. This guy is one pain in the ass...I said I'll pay for the damages but noooo...he wants to humiliate me...whatever. I don't give a damn...

"If you insist..."

"I do...everyone...please give Ms. Spencer here a round of applaus."

Everyone was applauding me. I looked around and started to grin. Wow...it actually feels nice... I was looking around when I saw Cordelia giving me a standing ovation. Soon enough, everyone followed her, soon enough the little appalaud turn out to be a loud cheering. Some were whistling and some are shouting Whoo-hooo. I can't help but smirk as I saw Mr. Andrews face. He was shocked. He was probably expecting a little clapping. I guess everyone's trying to piss him off...and I think...it's actually working...

"ENOUGH!"

Everyone immeditely stopped and took their own seat. Mr. Andrews glared at me.

"Do you find this ammusing Ms. Spencer!"

"Well...a little..."

He pointed towards the door, still glaring at me.

"That's it! Go to my office! I won't tolerate your behavior!"

What! I'm just answering your question and now...ARGH! He's pissed off alright...and he's throwing it at me... I rolled my eyes and slowly walked towards the door. I didn't look back but I heard Mr. Andrews telling everyone to go back to their classrooms. Geeez...this is going to be one of those days again... I sigh as I walked towards his office.

Buffy's POV

It's lunch time and I'm outside of Faith's classroom, waiting for her. We're supposed to go to the guidance counselor today and since our teacher dismissed us early I decided to wait for her. It feels like I'm waiting for my date... I gently shook my head as I start ti imagine Faith and I dating. I felt my face burning. Buffy stop imagining things that aren't going to happen...you're straight remember! Angel! Yeah! Remember Angel!

Faith's POV

This is the worst day of my life! First I was late then the principal gave me detention for three days! I'm kinda lucky actually. It's a good thing that Mr. Johnson was there to plead for a short punishment. Can you believe he was going to put me in detention in about a week! That's like...long! I'm lucky I have Mr. Johnson as a couch.

I quickly stood up as Mr. Giles dismissed us. I was slowly heading towards the door when I saw Buffy...looking at the floor, blushing. What the! What's she doing here? I slowly walked to her but she doesn't seem to notice me. I grinned and decided to shout at her.

"HEY B!"

She almost jumped. It was really funny that I can't help but laugh. She turned towards me, frowning.

"Geeez Faith! Are you trying to give me a heart attack?"

I winked at her.

"Is it working?"

She didn't answer. Instead she playfully punched my arm. It was kinda nice doing this kinda thing to her. Makes my heart beat fast. Maybe I'm giving myself a heart attack... I can't help but smile when she smiled at me. Julia then noticed us.

"Faith? Aren't we going to lunch?"

"Uh...yeah I guess..."

Buffy looked sad for a moment then looked at me.

"Faith...we have to go to the guidance office today...remember?"

I can't help but groan. I knew this was going to be the worst day of my life. Now I'm gonna sit in their stupid chair and talk about my life and all...BORING! I turn to look at Julia.

"Sorry Juls...you go on ahead...I'll try to catch up..."

"Okay...see you later..."

"Yeah later..."

I then turn to Buffy.

"Okay...take me to where our destiny awaits..."

"Wow...when did you get so deep?"

I shruuged at her. I followed her as we were heading for the guidance office.

"So...what did Mr. Andrews said to you?"

I groan again. She smiled.

"That bad?"

"Yeah...I get a detention for three days!"

"Faith...it's only three days..."

"Hey! Three days is a lot you know! Haven't you ever heard of the saying: 'One is little and two is too much?'"

"I think I've heard about that but...I heard it's...'One is many and two is too much'"

I shrugged at her.

"Whatever...the point is...three is much much more."

She giggled at me and I can't help but raise my eyebrow at her.

"'One is many...two is too much...three is much much more' I'm sure I haven't heard that one yet."

She stopped walking but was still giggling. I groaned at her.

"This is the worst day of my entire life!"

"Awww...you're exaggerating...Surely its not that worse..."

She said that while she held the doorknob of the door in front of us. She opened it slowly and suddenly I found my mouth wide open. Buffy must be the same. I mean who wouldn't when you're standing in the door, watching Ms. Rosenberg and...a woman...making out!

Buffy's POV

OH...MY...GOD! MS. Rosenberg...and Ms. Maclay...making out! And...and...they're not stopping...and...they're both...GIRLS! OH MY GOD...are they aware of what they're doing! Of course they are! Stupid! Just look at them...devouring each other...through their mouths. It's like...GROSS! Yeah right! Like I'm not thinking about Faith like that...wait...am I? Do I want to make out with...Faith! I looked away from the couple making out and looked at the person beside me. She was grinning. God...she looked so cute grinning like that...

"You know B...I think you're right...It's not worse...it's getting interesting..."

I coughed signaling the two couple that they're not alone anymore. Soon enough Ms. Rosenberg quickly pulled away from Ms. Maclay, out of breath and blushing. Both of them moved away from each other. Faith's grin turned to a smirk.

"Oh...don't mind us...please...continue."

What is she saying! I can't help but cover my face with my hand trying to hide my embarrassed face. I slowly removed it and looked at them blushing so hard that they both look like Ms. Rosenberg's hair. I punched Faith's arm trying to tell her to stop teasing. She looked at me rubbing her arm where I punched her.

"What the hell did you do that for!"

I ignore her and looked at the couple.

"Sorry about my friend here, she haven't eaten yet...so...her mouth tends to talk first before she thinks...don't mind her...um...well...I think we'll be...outside for awhile...sorry for disturbing you we totally didn't mean it...anyway...we'll be going outside now..."

I pushed Faith towards the door. I closed it and I released the air that I've been holding.

Tara's POV

I watched them go out of the room and soon my girlfriend starts pacing around the room babbling.

"Oh my God, oh my God...they saw us making out which is not good I mean they'll probably tell the other teachers which is not good again because if that happens we'll get fired and I totally don't want that coz I like this job and all and I don't want you too to loose your job because I know it's important to you too and--"

She looked so cute babbling like that. Seeing her like that I just want to pull her to me and kiss her again. But instead, I did the right thing. I stopped her before she pass out because lack of air.

"Willow...will you just stop for a second...you're worrying too much."

"Didn't you saw them? They saw us!"

"Yes I know but...maybe we can talk to them...you know..."

"Tara...the brunette girl is Faith Spencer...one of my students who is known for wrecking the library...surely you don't...trust her or anything do you?"

"We don't have a choice do we? Besides...I think we can trust her..."

I walked closer to her and wrapped my arm to her waist pulling her to an embrace. She laid her head on my shoulder.

"I hope you're right..."

"I am right...cmon...let's get them...they're probably outside."

Faith's POV

Wow...talk about babbling. She sure babbles a lot...which is really cute...but...what the hell did she say! My mouth tends to talk first before thinking! Do I do that? I looked at her frowning and she noticed.

"What?"

"'My mouth tends to talk first before thinking?'"

"Well...you did! You told them to continue! It's...it's...wrong!"

I leered at her.

"Don't tell me...you didn't like the show..."

She moved away from me and faced away from me. I can tell that she's blushing because her ears are quite red.

"No! I...I didn't like it!"

"Yeah right! Then why are you blushing blondie?"

"I'm not!"

"Okay...if you're not...then why don't you face me!"

She didn't move. I didn't know what came over me. The next thing I know I grabbed her shoulder and forced her to face me. We were close to each other now. I looked into her eyes and she did too. I just want to kiss her so bad but...she might freak out...no...she will freak out. She had a slight blush on her face and her mouth was open slightly. She looked damn...hot. I grinned at her.

"See...told you you're blushing..."

I released her and she just looked away from me, frowning. Great! I probably scared her! I was about to say something when the door suddenly opened and Ms. Rosenberg's girlfriend was smiling at us.

"Uh...can you two come in..."

Buffy looked at me confused and I just shrugged at her. I walked ahead and stepped in the room. Buffy was right behind. Ms. Rosenberg's in the couch looking mighty serious. Oh boy...this is gonna be long... Ms. Rosenberg then stood up.

"Spencer, Summers...please sit down..."

Both of us sat down and I can't help but notice Buffy sitting close to me. I shook my thoughts away and looked at the couple who are looking at us. Ms. Rosenberg's girlfriend spoke first.

"We wanted to talk to you two about...um..."

Geeez...this is gonna take some time if she keeps that up. Better speed this conversation up. I took a long breath and looked at them.

"You guys kissing right? And you two think that me and B here will tell the whole school and both of you might end up fired or something...right?"

"Uh...if you put it that way...then yes."

"Look here Ms..."

What's her name?

"It's Ms. Maclay...but please call me Tara..."

"Okay um...Tara...I know both of you are worrying about that but...you can trust us. I mean we're not going to tell the school that you two were lip locking...it's just not my style."

Ms. Rosenberg then pointed a finger at Buffy then glared at me.

"I can trust Ms. Summers here...but you...I think I'm having a problem with that. What with you're popularity and all..."

I sigh and smiled at her. She sure got balls...for a girl...I like her...

"Okay...you got a point there...no...I think you got ten points...you're right...who would trust someone who almost destroyed the library and has a very bad record in her previous school? But...I don't do things just because I like to do it. I have a purpose when I do things...don't you think it's kinda strange? Me blabbing about you guys kissing and all? I mean what the hell will I gain when I do that? Popularity? Don't think I need that..."

Wow Faith...are you going to candidate or something? Coz that's one hell of a speech! I grinned at them proud of what I said.

Buffy's POV

I can't help but stare at Faith. She's right. What will we gain if we tell the whole school? She's grinning and I can't help but smile at her. I looked at Ms. Maclay and she's doing the same thing. Ms. Rosenberg on the other hand had a 'didn't expect that' look on her face. 'I have a purpose when I do things' When she said that...it made me think back when she saved me in the library. Does that mean she...has a purpose why she did that? Then what is it? I heard Ms. Rosenberg sigh and looked at Faith.

"I didn't expect that...but you pretty much convinced me...you're right...you don't look the type to do something just because you want to...I misunderstood you..."

"I get that a lot...I guess the saying 'don't judge the book by it's cover' is true huh?"

"Yes...I guess it is."

We ended up chatting with the couple. It was mostly Faith who did the talking. She kept on asking questions about their relationship and I ended up listening. Ms. Maclay decided to talk to us tomorrow again. We both thanked her and walked towards our room without saying anything to each other. Both of us were thinking of different things. We said our goodbye...when we reached my room.

It had been...interesting, because it was the first time that I talked to a lesbian couple. I have to admit that I freaked out when I saw them but...I realized that I'm no different from them. I mean...I have been thinking of Faith like that. So, does that make me a...lesbian? But...I haven't thought about that kind of things with other girls that I've met...only...Faith. But...what that makes me? Bi? I shook my head. NO! I'm not a lesbian or a bi! I'm straight as a stick! I sigh and looked at the window. Yeah...Faith just bends it...

Faith's POV

I groaned as I stretched. My back still hurts a lot. I'm in the track now trying to practice for the competition tomorrow. Mr. Johnson is looking at me, worried. I decided not to show that my back is still killing me.

"Okay Spencer...prove to me that I should let you compete for tomorrow's race..."

"Aye aye coach!"

Julia's POV

I'm at the track, watching Faith stretching. I'm not exactly sure what I'm doing here...but I do know that...I want to...see Faith. I don't know why...is it because...I'm...attracted to her? Sure she's sexy, beautiful and hot but...I've seen many girls like that so...what makes Faith different? Why is it that...I always end up thinking about her? I'm always the book worm type of girl. Always serious in studying. But now...instead of studying and going home...I ended up in the tracks...watching Faith. I know she doesn't want me like that...sure she flirts with me but...it's just flirting...nothing special. She just want to see me embarrassed. I leaned on the wall and just stared at her. I can see that she's in pain. Who wouldn't when you carry an 8 ft book shelf on your back? I was shocked when I heard what she's done. She saved Buffy Summers...one of the most popular girls on the school. It was brave of her to do that...will she do that when...I'm in danger too? I sigh. I guess I don't know her that well...sure she's rich, sexy, beautiful...but there's a whole lot of Faith than just that...and...I want to know it all... I can't help but smile as I heard her say 'aye aye coach' to Mr. Johnson. She saluted him and began to position herself. Mr. Johnson looked at her watch then waved for Faith to start. She didn't move. What the? I walked closer to them and noticed the pain look on her face. Mr. Johnson then crouched down at her.

"Spencer...don't tell me you can't even stand up..."

"Um...kinda..."

"That's it! No race for you for a week."

"What! No! I'm not giving up! I can do it!"

"NO! Dawn will participate in tomorrow's race...get some rest Spencer..."

Mr. Johnson then stood up and began to walk away leaving Faith in the ground. I can't help but giggle as I saw her shock face.

"Um...coach...I could use a little help here..."

I walked up to her and looked at her.

"Hey Faith...watcha doin?"

She gave me a smile.

"Nothing...I just thought I'd check the ground and all...it kinda looked pale to me...WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU THINK I'M DOING!"

I gave her a shrug.

"I don't know...why don't you tell me?"

"I'm stuck okay? So get your butt down here and help me!"

I grinned at her trying to tease her a little.

"Why don't you make me..."

I heard her sigh. She looked up at me giving me her puppy dog eyes and a pout on her lips. She looked so...cute. Like a puppy asking it's master to feed her. I can't help but smile at the cuteness of her face.

"Please Juls...my back is really killing me...won't you help your best bud when she needs it...pretty please?"

I sighed and decided to give in. I mean who would resist a cute look like that right? I crouched down at her and held her hand and placed it on my shoulder. I gently stood up with her and she just groaned when we were standing. She removed her arm on my shoulder and I can't help but miss the feel of her body on mine. I sigh and looked at her. She just kept on stretching and groaning when she did it. I can't help but question her.

"What are you doing?"

"I wanted to know how flexible I can get...what do you think I'm doing?"

I can't help but roll my eyes when I heard her sarcastic reply.

"What I mean is...why are doing that when you're not going to race anymore?"

"I can't just give up you know...it's not in my vocabulary..."

It was strange. It feels like...she told me that before and I know it. I shook my head.

"You can't race in that condition, Faith...just give it up..."

"Are you deaf? Didn't you hear what I told you? I don't give up...I'm no quitter..."

"Okay...I won't try to change your mind anymore...you just don't listen...I'm just wasting my breath."

She smiled then looked at me.

"Since your here...why don't you help me stretch?"

"How?"

"I'm gonna try some sit-ups. Just hold my feet will you?"

I shrugged at her and she began to sit I held on to her feet and I can't help but stare at her as she began her sit-ups. I can't help but notice her sweat that's heading towards her breast. OOOOOKAYYY...gotta stop looking... I looked away from her and noticed her breathing hard and groaning a little. I can't help but blush at the sound that she's making. I decided to get my mind off of her body so I asked her what was on my mind.

"Um...can I ask you something?"

"Uh...what?"

"Why did you...do the thing you did in the library incident?"

"What...uh...do you...uh...mean?"

"Um...you know...saving Buffy and all..."

She stopped then looked at me.

"I dunno...I guess because...I don't want her to get hurt..."

"So you just let yourself get hurt?"

"Yeah...she might have died if I didn't do that you know? I mean have you seen how tall those bookshelves are?"

"Yeah...I guess you're right."

"Right! So stop the questioning already..."

She then begins her sit-ups. I know she's not lying but...it feels like there's more to it than that...and she's trying to hide it.

Buffy's POV

Today's Faith's but I heard she's not competing...and it's all my fault. I asked her about it but she just shrugged so I stop asking her about it. I guess she's pissed off or something. We're in the cafeteria having our early lunch. Ms. Maclay gave us permission to have an early lunch everyday. It's cool because...I get to eat with Faith...alone. I'm sitting across form her. I can't help but stare at what she got.

"Um..."

"I know what you're going to say...that I took to much right?"

I nodded.

"Well, this is how I eat. I'm not used to the diet thing that you've been doing..."

"How did you know I'm on a diet?"

"I don't need to know...I can see..."

I gave raised my eyebrow at her and she just pointed at my food. I looked at it. She's right...it does look like I'm on a diet. I got a veggie sandwich and some orange juice.

"Hey I need to keep my body fit...we have a competition 2 weeks from now."

"Oh yeah...you can't be fat and all or else you won't fit your cheering outfit right? Or even worse...you can't even jump!"

"Well yeah...how about you? Surely you need to keep your body fit or else you'll have a hard time running."

"Yeah but...I'm really not THAT cautious about my figure and all..."

"Well you should be. Or else some guys wouldn't look at you."

She leaned closer to me looking serious.

"Do...do you think I'm not that attractive at all? Am I fat or something?"

I looked at her like she's crazy or something.

"What? Fat? You've got to be kidding! Faith you're the most beautiful, sexy and hot person that I've ever met. And you've got a very nice body. I mean some guys might be fanaticizing you with whipped cream all over your body just waiting to be li-"

OH MY GOD! Did I say that! I sound like a perv! I slowly looked at her. She's blushing and looking at the table. I can't help but blush too. Stupid mouth! Why can't you just shut up!

Faith's POV

Okay...I didn't expect that from her. I thought she's just going to say 'No Faith...you've got a very nice body...' but instead she's saying that I'm beautiful, sexy and hot. She didn't finish her sentence but I know she was going to end it by saying 'licked'. I can't help but blush. I mean not even some guys who were courting me in LA told me I was beautiful. Sure they called me sexy and hot but...never beautiful. And that word coming from Buffy...made me feel nice and warm. I smiled and decided to ease these tension around us. I leaned to her and decided to tease her.

"Were you going to say...licked?"

She looked away still blushing. I decided to make my voice sexy. so I leaned closer to her so that I'm practically on top of the table letting her see some of my cleavage. Soon enough she did look but turn away quickly. I grinned at her.

"So B...do you fantasize me about me like that?"

I found my voice to be hoarse and husky. I leaned away from her and she just blushed more. Maybe I do have a chance with her...I mean that blush means that she's been fanaticizing about me right? I laughed at her trying to ease her up.

"Cmon B! I'm just joking! Don't take it seriously!"

She's still looking away but she's frowning now. I took her hand and she looked at me.

"B...I'm just playing...don't be mad okay?"

She sighs.

"I'm not mad..."

"Good...it's just that, I kinda like to see you blushing. It's kinda cute you know? But...do you mean it?"

"What?"

"That...I'm...beautiful?"

I looked at her straight in the eye and she did the same. She answered me so softly that I almost didn't hear it.

"Yes..."

I gave her a smile the stood up, my hand still on top of hers.

"Cmon...let's go. We're wasting time here..."

She nodded and then stood up. I let go of her hand but...I feel lost without it.

Buffy's POV

I'm sitting in the bleachers waiting for the race to start. Angel, Codelia and Anya were with me. There were many people sitting too waiting for the race to start. But mostly they were boys. They probably want to see girls in a very short short sweating. But I didn't come here for the same reason. I came here to watch Faith race. I know Mr. Johnson told her that she's not going to race but...I have this gut feeling that she's going to race no matter what. She's not the type of person to quit. Besides...I do want to see her in her attire, sweating... Okay! Stop the pervy thoughts!

"Xander!"

I looked up at where Anya was looking and saw Faith's gang heading towards us. Cordelia glared at them.

"What are you people doing here? I thought rich kid wasn't going to race..."

Julia glared back at her.

"Oh she's going to race. There's no way that an injury on her back is gonna keep her from racing."

"Whatever..."

I looked down and saw some girls stretching...but still no Faith.

Faith's POV

I quickly dressed up and headed towards the tracks. I see some women stretching. I looked around and found Dawn and the coach talking. I walked towards them. Coach didn't notice me so I tapped him on the back. He slowly turns around and frowned at me.

"Spencer! Didn't I tell you to just take a rest or something?"

"Well yeah but...I'm afraid I can't do that right now...I've got a race to win."

"What? Are you out of your frickin mind Spencer! You can't even stand up!"

"Well I'm standing up now...so I think I can do it..."

"That's not what I mean..."

Dawn then spoke and I can't help but smile at her.

"Coach...why don't you just let her? She can win this..."

"You stay out of this!"

He then looked at the ground. He had his eyes closed and his arms crossed. I guess he's thinking... He then looked at me and decided to give in.

"Alright...I'll let you race...but in one condition..."

I gave him a grin.

"Anything."

"Just...don't push yourself too hard. If you feel pain just...stop running. I don't care whether you loose..."

"Wow...that's some pep talk...but...I don't plan on losing..."

He grinned.

"Well what are you waiting for? Get your cute butt out there and do some stretching...Dawn help her."

"Okay..."

Buffy's POV

I can see Faith and Dawn doing some sit-ups. I can't help but smile at her determination...she really doesn't know how to quit... Persistent...just like I imagined her to be...

"Will the participants for the race please go to your respective positions..."

I watched as the girls including Faith crouched down and position themselves. The guys who were watching were now whistling. Is this what they came here for! Perverts! I frowned then looked at Faith. She has a serious face. They waited until the pistol were were off. Soon every girl were running at their full speed. Faith was on the third and looking at her facial expression...she seems to be in...pain but she doesn't seem to be slowing down. In fact...she's gaining more speed and seems to be in second place. So it's just Faith and the number 11 girl. Time to be slower as they try to pass each other. But I guess there's only one winner right? Guess who it was?

"FAITH! YOU WON!"

Terri and the rest of Faith's gang made their way to the tracks. Terri then hugged Faith.

"Geeeez Ter! Easy! My back still hurts you know..."

She pulled away and gave Faith a smile.

"Sorry...I guess I got carried away..."

"No biggie..."

I also went towards her and gave her a smile.

"Congratulations Faith...you did great...how are you feeling?"

"I'm fine B...just a little sore and all...but still fine..."

"That's good..."

"Buffy! Let's go already!"

I looked behind me and saw Cordelia waving. I don't want to...I want to stay here with Faith... I looked back at Faith and gave her one last smile.

"Sorry Faith...gotta go or the queen might bite my head off..."

She laughed and I just walked towards Cordelia.

Faith's POV

I watched as Buffy walked towards Cordelia. I'm kinda glad she showed up. She kinda boosted my energy level to maximum! I then looked at my pals. Xander then walked closer to me with his 'I'm proud of you that you won' grin on his face.

"Well! We gotta celebrate right! How about we go out tomorrow!"

"And go where?"

"To the beach! You know...get some sun...play some volleyball..."

"Hmmm...I don't know..."

"Cmon Faith! It's gonna be great!"

What's with him? Why does he want to go to the beach? Somethings not right but...I guess I could use the break for awhile... I smile at him.

"Yeah! Okay! I'm in!"

"Great! How about you Julia?"

"Sure...it sounds like fun..."

"Clark...Terri?"

"Count us in!"

"Great! Faith can you pick us up tomorrow?"

"What? Why do I have to be the one to pick you guys up?"

"That's because you have some wicked cars! So...can you just drive something...cooler?"

"What? Are you saying my 745li Sedan BMW isn't cool?"

"Well...it's cool but...you gotta warm some of your cars engine right? Please?"

He gave one of his puppy dog eyes. I should just drive my motorcycle instead...then I could all fit you there! Yeah...we'll look like a fucking circus band. I rolled my eyes and sigh.

"Fine! But just this once okay!"

"Okay! Pick us up at...um...11:00 at the school?"

"Sure..."

Somehow...I got a feeling that he's planning something...oh well...I'll know tomorrow right?
