"Ahh. School. Monday morning. All in favor of quitting say Aye" Xander said walking up to Cordelia, Tara, Fred, and Wesley. Willow was at his side, as usual, and his hand in the air. Xander as always had on a ridiculous outfit. It was a bright green sweater and a pair of green corduroy pants. Willow, on the other hand, had on a orange sweater with a knee length purple skirt with orange stockings and dark colored shoes.

Everyone was sitting around a red circular plastic table with round benches as a seats. "Or maybe we need a higher education, Xander, not all of us want to be flipping burgers at Doublemeat Palace for the rest of our lives" Cordelia said with her sunglasses flipped up onto her head. She then turned to Willow with a sweet smile on her face. "Willow I love your outfit today!"

"What do you want Cordy?" Willow shot back taking a seet in between Fred and Tara.

"OK. I respect you to much to lie to you. I hate your outfit. But did you do the Chem homework?" Cordelia said tactlessly.

"Yes," Willow opened her backpack and took out a book covered in a brown paper bag. The words 'Chemestry' where scribbled onto it. Willow opened the book about a quarter of the way through and handed it to Cordelia. "Here." Willow then turned to Tara and struck up there own conversation.

While Cordelia was scribbling answers onto her paper, Fred and Xander started talking while Wesley sat back and listened.

"Have you noticed anything wierd with Buffy lately?" Fred asked. "She's been coming to school with bruises on her face and she seems distracted."

"I don't know. But what ever it is I hope she gets help on it." Xander said cracking his knuckles at the same time.

"I hate it when you do that..." Fred said referring to his hands.

"Thats why I do it," Xander winked. He looked over his shoulder and saw Buffy walking sullemly over. Her hands were twitching and her cheek was rubbing against her shoulder as if she was trying to calm herself. She had on a black tank top and a short black skirt. Her hair was up in a messy bun and her make up was dark. "And speak of the devil"

"Hey guys." Buffy said sitting next to Xander as he rapped his arms around her. She winced in pain but no one noticed, as usual. "Have you guys seen Angel?"

"Nope," Xander replied trying to serve her comfort.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes," Xander said

"Yes you have seen him," Buffy said her lips turning into a smile.

"No. Nada. Zippo. Havn't seen him.You're doing this out of pure pleasure aren't you?" Xander said smiling tapping his feet.

"Yes," Buffy grinned the first time since last night. Buffy was lucky she knew that. she was luckier than most people. Sure she had a father who beat her and raped her but at least she had a roof on her head and food. Soon she would be out of her house on on her own. Soon she would be able to, soon. That was all it took. Soon. Buffy was so wrapped up in her thoughts she didn't hear the homeroom bell ring. She picked her backpack up and swung it over her shoulder. She cringed in pain again but she knew it could be worse. She walked with Willow to her homeroom as they chatted. Buffy knew she was wearing a mask, pretending to be someone she shouldn't but what could she do? All she could do was hope for the future. Maybe one day she could come clean and they wouldn't betray her. Hate her. Buffy took out her science book and her binder from her locker. There were notes on her binder from all differend days of boredom. As Buffy made her way to her Homeroom/Science class with Mr. Burns she thought about Angel and how she would see him in this class.

As Buffy rounded into room 301 she passed Angel seat. It was empty. Since the begining of the year everyone got assigned seats. She moved to the second row third seat unfortunitly Willow was in the fifth rown second seat naming it impossible to pass notes.

Everyone was talking when Mr. Burns came in. Then everyone became quiet as he started to teach.
