Chapter 2 - Rude Awakening
"Girls" Joyce chirped. "Time to get up"
"Huh, what?..." Buffy mumbled, wiping the sleep from her eyes. She glanced over at the clock on the dresser beside her. The blue, digital letters read "6:01AM". She sure seems happy to get us out of the house...Buffy thought.
"Why so early" whined Dawn who had fallen alseep on the purple bean-bag chair in Buffy's room. "Don't the classes start at ten" Dawn asked.
"They do. We're going early to take a tour of the campus and get you two rooms." Joyce replied.
"Buffy and I are gonna share a room, right" Dawn asked, a hint of fea showing in her voice. Buffy, who was absent-mindedly rubbing the sleep lines on her arms, looked up at the mention of her name.
"Most likley." Joyce answered. "Now get dressed and be down for breakfast." Joyce headed back downstairs.
Buffy grudgingly got out of bed and dissappeared into her closet. She reappeared wearing a light pink aeropostle tee-shirt and faded blue jeans. Dawn left the room to change as well.
Ten minutes later they headed downstairs and picked at their breakfast.
"What's wrong girls" Joyce asked with concern in her voice.
"Guess." was all Buffy said.
"Don't worry about today. I'm sure you'll make plenty of friends."
The sisters didn't respond, just coninued to idly pick at their food.
Buffy stared out the window and zoned out...
The next thing she knew, she was sitting in the front seat of her mother's jeep and they were pulling to a halt in front of a huge school campus.
Buffy unbuckled her seatbelt and hopped out of the car. All she could do was stare at the scene in front of her. The huge main building loomed over them, casting the campus in shadow. There were other building scattered across the campus, but that one huge building sent chills down her spine. Everything was still. She was guessing the students were still asleep.
A tall, pale man approached them. "Hello, I'm the principal of Sunnydale Academy, Mr. Gaffety. It's very nice to meet you." He stuck out his hand. Buffy and Dawn reluctantly shook it. " I run a very safe, very happy school. Remember it takes more muscles to frown than it does to smile" He replied witha big, creepy grin on his face.
"This is gonna be fun..." Buffy mumbled under her breath.
Sorry about the short chapters. I'm trying to keep it light and I know that its taking a long time to get an actual point. But there is one, trust me. Its just easier for me to write it like this. Please have faith in me and trust me when I say that this will get better.
