1Chapter 3
Buffy sat in the room that she shared with Willow, her bags still packed. It wasn't that she thought her mother would come back to get her, but the fact that if she unpacked all of her stuff, she would be making this her new home; that was something she didn't want. Although, things were starting to look up for her.
"Buffy, dinner starts in twenty minutes," Willow said, walking out of their shared bathroom. "You're allowed to wear your normal clothes, so you may want to hurry and get ready."
"Yeah, alright," Buffy said, standing. "Hey, Willow?"
"Yeah?"
"I just wanted to say thanks."
"For what?" Willow asked, confused.
"For being nice," she said before disappearing into the bathroom.
The cafeteria was large, and filled with long picnic like tables. Since many of the students that went to the private school lived in the area, it was half empty compared to earlier at lunch time.
Buffy smiled slightly. The idea of her not having to deal with all her peers all of the time, was a great relief.
"Oh, look, there's Xander," Willow said as she started to walk in his direction.
Buffy just followed, glancing around at all of the faces, trying to spot the guy she had seen earlier. Spike, she thought. Where are you handsome?
"Xander, you remember Buffy," Willow said, sitting down beside him.
"Of course, how could I not?" Xander said, smiling up at her.
"You're cute," Buffy said, sitting down across from the two. "So, what's to eat?"
"Ah, the famous veggie burgers," Xander said. "They really taste the same as the normal burgers, and pretty much everything else they serve..."
"Sounds yummy," Buffy said, thinking. "Why don't we go get some real food? I think we passed a Mc Donald's on the way by. Mmm, yummy greasy foods."
"I don't think we should..." Willow said.
"Oh c'mon. Don't tell me its forbidden to leave school grounds?"
"Well, no. But, I just don't think we should," Willow said.
"I'm in," Xander said.
"So Willow, you're just going to stay here, all by your self?" Buffy asked.
Willow was silent for a minute. "We have to be back by eight."
Author's Note: Sorry, short and bad chapter. But I have to get to work and its my b-day on the weekend so I won't be updating for a few days. SoI thought I'd put something up.
