My lisp is gone! Now that my tounge has healed, I can speak like a normal person. Thank god! I sounded really retarted last week. My tattoo is scabbing though, it looks really nasty. Oh well, it'll look good again in a week or so. My parents finally found out about the tattoo and the piercing like two days ago. My step-father did the glaring thing. My mom was funny, she was just talking and then when she saw it she was all like "YOU GOT A TATTOO?", but like five seconds later she got over it. That's 'cause she thinks it's cool. I thought it was original, barb wire around my middle finger, it's the best thing for flipping people off. Well anyways, just wanted to let everyone know that all is well in Jamie land...well apart from me being broke everything's well...

Chapter 7: A Visit to the Principal
Mr. Shannon had walked into the classroom shortly after the bell rang. Everyone stared at him amazed. This was not the dreaded teacher's normal behavior. He was always the first one in the classroom and always got on everyone's case for being late. Now it was him that was late.
"If everyone would please pick up their books and pretend to read, I'll just sit here and pretend to grade papers and we will all get along fine today." Gasps were heard accross the room as the balding man sat in his chair and stared out the window. Things are definitely changing in Sunnydale High School. The shocked stillness of the room was interrupted by a staff memeber walking through the door. The woman held a slip of paper in her hand which she read before lifting her gaze to the class.
"I need to see Buffy Summers, and Faith Spencer." All eyes turned to the back of the classroom. The small blonde fidgetted, while Faith put her iPod in her pocket, unaffected by the sudden attention.
"What for?" She asked slipping her leather jacket on.
"The principal wants to speak with you." Buffy looked at the brunette as she got up from her seat.
"What did you do now?" Faith grinned.
"Nothing...yet." She then proceeded to walk out the door with the blonde following close behind.
Both girls silently followed the woman to the office where she pulled out two folders from a filing cabinet. She looked through one of them and gave a small shrug, but after looking through the second folder her face was marred by a frown.
"Which one of you is Faith Spencer?" Buffy immediately pointed at the brunette.
"Your file doesn't look good, Faith. After the offences made in your previous school, you're looking at instant suspenssion after the stunt you pulled yesterday." The brunette seemed unaffected by the news.
"You seem like a great kid under all your attitude, I'd hate to suspend you from school and cause a possible drop-out. Maybe we can give you a second chance. Enroll you in an after school activity where you can freely express yourself. How does the art club sound?" The lady looked at her with kindness, but the brunette's eyes only showed anger.
"Don't talk to me like you know me! You don't know me. Now are we here to see the principal or what?" Faith crossed her arms over her chest and glared at the woman.
"Yes, he's expecting you both. Step right in." The staff member said flinching a little at the intensity of the girl's glare. The brunette quickly stepped through the door, leaving a shocked Buffy behind.
Recovering from the surprising event she just witnessed, the blonde stepped into the room. Principal Snyder sat in his huge chair, making him look even smaller than he already was. He was shutting a desk drawer, and looked annoyed by the disturbance.
"What are you two doing in here?" He questioned.
"Uh...because you told us to be here." Faith answered as she sat in a chair and placed her feet on the short man's desk. Snyder looked at her in distaste, but said nothing of it. Buffy nervously sat in the chair next to the brunette.
"Oh, right. You two are here because you left detention yesterday. You should be punished for it." Snyder pointed an accusing finger at both girls. The brunette crossed her arms over her chest, while Buffy shrunk into her chair and looked at the floor.
"Now wait a minute. You can't blame that on us. Detention is supposed to be supervised by an adult, is it not?" Faith lifted her chin proudly.
"Well, yes, but I don't see what this has anything to do with your punishment." The balding man's face etched with confussion
"My point is that we ditched detention because there was no one there to supervise."
"That's impossible Ms. Spencer. The teachers are not allowed to leave the detention hall."
"Tell that to the teacher that was supposed to be there yesterday." The short man looked annoyed once more.
"Fine, you get away with it this time Ms. Spencer." He said with a dismissive wave of his hand. As the girls got up to leave, Snyder pointed a finger at the brunette.
"But keep in mind Ms. Spencer, I'll be watching you. I'll be watching you very closely."
"I don't know if you've noticed shorty, but that's kind of elegal." Then shaking her head she added. "Perv."
With a wide grin, Faith walked out of the office and started walking in the direction of Mr. Shannon's class. Buffy fell in step next to her and gave her a questioning look.
"What was that about back there?"
"What are you talking about?"
"You know... you yelling at the lady." The brunette's grin quickly dissapeared.
"I'm just sick of people thinking I'm a basket case. They think they've got me all figured out, but they don't really know what's going on."
"Well, tell me what's what's going on." Faith turned to face the blonde. She opened her mouth as if to say something, then snapped it shut as she thought better of it.
"Just forget it." She turned and started walking away again. The blonde groaned in frustration and followed the rebel once more.
They rounded a corner and Buffy started to slow her pace as Mr. Shannon's door was close by. Faith continued walking in a hurried pace.
"Where are you going? Shannon's classroom is right here." Buffy said as she jogged a bit to catch up with the taller girl.
"I'm not going back. I need some time to think." Faith looked a bit somber.
"Oh, well I'm coming with you." Buffy decided to accompany the solemn girl.
"I don't want to ruin your spotless record anymore than I already have. Go back to class blondie." She continued to walk towards the exit.
"I'm tired of my continuous attendance to class. I need to go out and have a little fun, you know...live a little." Buffy winked. The brunette laughed as she remembered saying those exact words to her the day before.
"Alright blondie, but don't come crying to me when you flunk all your classes."
"I've got connections in this school, there's no way I'll fail a class. Plus, if all else fails I can just give them the puppy dog eyes, it never fails." Faith chuckled as she walked into the school parking lot.
"So where are we going anyways?"
"Nowhere, just gonna ride around on my baby." The rebelious girl pulled out a set of keys from her black leather jacket as she came to a stop in front of a silver and black sports motorcycle.
"We're riding that!" Buffy gasped at the thought of riding on the bike at high speeds.
"Yeah." Faith said as she unstrapped two helmets from the back of the motorbike.
"You know...when I said I wanted to live a little, I actually meant I want to live a lot. Not die an instant death after crashing on this thing." The blonde's fear clearly showed on her face, but she took a hold of the helmet that was handed to her nonetheless.
"Come on blondie. I thought you said you wanted to have some fun. Well this is fun!" Faith pulled the helmet over her head and straddled the bike.
"Okay, but if you kill me you're gonna be in serious trouble with my mother." Buffy climbed on the bike as the brunette chuckled and revved up the engine.
"You ready?" The blonde wrapped her arms around Faith's waist and tightly pressed her body against her back.
"No." She answered with her eyes shut.
"Let's go then." The brunette grinned and they took off.
Buffy give out a loud yelp and held on to the other girl even tighter. After some time with her eyes closed, the blonde noticed nothing was going wrong so she decided to open them. The scenery flew past them so fast it was almost unrecognizable. Everything looked blurry, but there was something calming about the whole thing. She was enjoying the ride, but most of all she was enjoying being in the company of the rebelious brunette. This is actually fun! Faith was totally right, I do need some fun in my life, and this is exactly the type of fun I need.
TBC...
Some people are getting impatient because of the lack of Fuffy action. I appologize for not giving out any smoochies or romantic scenes between the two, but I like playing with the characters before they fall in love and do all the romantic shit that bores me to death. So try to be patient, it's coming...eventually...hopefully soon.
