"Okay so for tomorrow, I want everyone to write their own version of the balcony scene from Romeo and Juliet. Really dig deep and try to imagine what the characters are feeling." Nathan smiled at the class. "Oh Cordelia, could you wait a moment?"
"Of course Mr. French," Cordy smiled wickedly at Harmony as she walked up to the teacher's desk.
"I was hoping to have a production of the balcony scene in the Sunnydale Art Festival next month, and I was hoping you would agree to be the student director." Nathan explained.
"Wow, I mean I never thought of myself bossing people around, but if you really think I should do it. I'd love to try." Cordy said sincerely.
Harmony snorted bitterly, "What a shock, CC says Si, Si."
"How about we have the first production meeting at my house tonight at seven," Nathan smiled at her eagerness.
"I'll see you there," Cordy smiled as she glided out of the classroom.

"I can't believe Xander thinks Mr. French is evil," Buffy told Willow as they staked out Mr. French's house. "I mean he's really so jealous that he's going to try to kill the only hot teacher Sunnydale has ever had."
"And Cordelia was telling everyone about her little meeting tonight." Willow agreed axe in her hand.
"Buffy," both girls turned around to see Angel.
"Hey, Angel. I'm sorry we can't talk but we are on a very important stake out." Buffy explained.
"I heard, listen Giles thinks that Xander might actually be right about this one. Maybe you should give your friend the benefit of the doubt." Angel suggested.
"Not you too. Why is every guy in Sunnydale out to kill Mr. French? I mean just because we broke up you think you can control who I like." Buffy vented.
"You like him?" Angel pouted.
While Angel kept the girls distracted, Xander had snuck inside the house waiting for Cordelia to arrive. He knew he should be nice and kill the monster before it attacked Cordelia, but it won't do her any harm to learn the same lesson he had about going to strange teacher's houses for sexual liaisons. If it happened to bite off her head before he rescued her, well it was still only Cordelia.
