(Dawn's POV)

Morning came as if it went too fast last night. I walked down stairs after getting ready for school to eat some cereal for breakfast. I found Giles in the kitchen reading up on the newspaper and eating some cereal as well.

"Mind if I join you for breakfast?" I asked him as he turned to find me standing in the doorway.

"Oh don't mind me Dawn just catching up on some Sunnydale news. So I hope that you slept well last night." He said going back to his paper.

"Like a sheep in its pen." I returned and he smiled at my sarcasm.

My sister came in a few minutes later to join us and we chatted before it was off to school. I hope that Giles wasn't going to be so lonesome at the house today. I would try to get him out of the house this weekend and not just going on patrol nightly. My sister finally got her driver's license about 6 months after Giles left so we had a small car, but it was still driveable.

She dropped me off in the front and then she went to park in the employee parking. We had a new principal this year and she was a hoot. I'm a good 5 inches taller than she is so I loved telling my friends that our new principal was a shorty.

"Dawn did you do your English homework last night? Please tell me that you did it." Cassie asked me while running to catch up with me.

"Yes Cassie you know I did because my sister would kill me if I didn't." I said to her as she caught her breath next to me.

"Please Dawn can I copy it in homeroom." She said giving me the sad face.

"Come on Cassie you know that the witch took both of our homework up the last time you did that and Buffy got on to me when she found out." I said back to her as we started into the school.

"Please Dawn I promise I'll be more careful this time." She said this time stopping me in the hallway.

"Okay Cassie but if she picks it up again your on your own." I said back to her with a smile.

"Thanks Dawn I owe you a night a the Bronze." She said back then went off to find her boyfriend.

I walked over to my locker and got my stuff out for English and history. Then I put them in my bag and made my way to homeroom just in time for the bell to ring.

"Attention juniors there will be a meeting today after school for the theme of the next dance. If you want to throw in your ideas then stop by room 306 after school today." Our principal started out for the announcements of the day.

I really didn't listen after that until I heard a familiar name.

"Student I have been asked to tell you that Tyler Moore has past away last night. If you want to go see the councilor you may be excused until you receive help." She said then she was done for the day.

Tyler Moore was our star football player and captain of the football team. I knew that he was really popular and going out with one of my friends. I felt really bad hearing that he pasted away at such a young age, but I wondered how he died suddenly. I didn't really think about it much because Cassie was getting on to me for spacing out. I handed her my English homework and crossed my fingers that it wouldn't be taken up by the witch.

To my luck homeroom passed quickly and my homework was back in my hands by the bell. English was next so I walked with Cassie to my locker until the most popular girl walked up and stood in front of my locker. I didn't like her because she was all stuck up and stuff. Then she talked about my sister badly.

"Summers glad to see that you made it through homeroom without getting caught. I was wondering if you could do my homework also." The slut asked me.

"Get over yourself Rachel I don't like you and I'm so not doing your homework for you." I said back to her then moved her over so I could get to my locker.

"Okay Summers but you will regret rejecting me later." She said then walked off with her followers.

"Oh my gosh Dawn that was Rachel Taylor and you just dissed her seriously." Cassie squealed after Rachel left.

"No biggie Cass come on lets get to class before the sister patrol shows up." I said then we were off to English.

Cassie and I enjoyed English because we got away with a lot of stuff and the teacher seriously didn't care one bit. Mrs. Patterson is the easiest junior teacher in the school and everyone loves her. Plus she is one of the nicest teachers on the campus. She helps me out a lot because I struggle a little bit in math and she is great at it as well.

The bell rang to end class and then the rest of the day is just a blur except for lunch. Cassie, Sarah, Blair, and me were all sitting around the table when two top football stars walked over to our table and asked if we wanted to have fun tonight. The girls were all up for it but I had to convince Buffy to let me go out with my friends tonight and not go patrolling. That ended me in the car with my sister trying me hardest to let her go out with my friends.

"Please Buffy I want to go out tonight and just for tonight. I'm going with Cassie, Sarah, and Blair. Come one just this once Buffy PLEASE." I pleaded with her and protested.

"Fine you can go out just this once." She said smiling at me.

"Thank you Buffy." I said throwing my arms up in victory.

We got home and I ran upstairs to call my friends. They agreed to come in Blair's Rav4 and take us to the Bronze.

"Dawn I'm going to the Magic Box for a while. There is leftovers when you get hungry and call me if you need anything." My sister called upstairs.

"Okay Buffy tell everyone hi and give Giles a hug for me please." I called back downstairs to my sister.

Around 9 the horn went off in front of my house and I knew that it was my friends. I grabbed my purse and ran downstairs. I locked the door behind me then got in the Rav4 and we were off. We jammed in the car to Usher and then we pulled up into the parking lot and we all got out then went in. The DJ was spinning techno music that I just started dancing when I entered the Bronze.

We grabbed our usual table and some of the football player came over and asked us to dance. About an hour in a half in I felt someone watching me and looked around casually, but didn't find anyone. I kept dancing with the feeling in the pit of my stomach that someone was spying on me.

(Faith's POV)

"Look at little Dawnie and her friends dancing with the football stars best friends. Well I think that we might want to do something about it, right Tyler." I asked the newbie standing next to me.

"They look like they could be my best catch of the night. When can I have a taste?" he asked me

"Give it a few more days and then we will have a feast one by one until they are all turned over to our side." I smiled watching Dawn dance around the football players like nothing was wrong. "They will never know what hit them."

We stood around and watched them as if nothing was going to happen to them. I had to smile to myself knowing that they wouldn't be together for much longer. My newbie was getting hungry and I had to feed him some time or another.
