Chapter 8:
Buffy, Tara and Willow classes finished early, they decided to have lunch in the restaurants that Faith work in. Buffy was the one that suggest this place, Willow and Tara weren't surprised they both were sure that she wanted to tease Faith in way or another. Tara didn't know much about Faith she didn't hate her, she was feeling much like her, she loved Willow but she didn't feel wanted with the scoopy, they never asked for her opinion for anything, they were only acting courteous for Willow.
They entered and sit in a table beside the window, the place wasn't crowded, it usually has a lot of people in night. Faith saw them and smiled a little, the look on Buffy's face shows her intensions but she wasn't the one to be scared easily. She went to take there orders.
"So, College girls to what I own this owner?" Faith said with a smirk
"Well Faith, look at you all with the working girl attitude, good for you" Buffy was smiling smugly
"What can I say B, not all of us have a mother like yours"
"Yeah, is this the part when you cry and tell us about your alcoholic mom?" Willow giggled on Buffy's comment but Tara looked at the floor with a sad expression.
"No Buffy, this is the part that I took your orders, so what do you want for lunch? The special today is..." Faith didn't complete she was cut by Tara who just stand and leave without a word.
Willow ran after Tara, she was calling her name but Tara didn't answer, she holds her rest and Tara turned to face her with tears in her eyes.
"W - What Willow? D - did you and and B - Buffy Finish I - I - insulting h - her?" Willow could feel how upset Tara was.
"Tara, honey, I'm sorry, Buffy didn't mean to upset you and certainly I didn't"
"Y - yes b - but y - you were t - trying to upset her, w - why? even if she d - did hurt y - you o - once c - can't you see she is she is different n - now. Beside making f - fun of other people childhood isn't isn't f - funny, its not her fault if if h - her mom w - was alcoholic" Tara was almost crying now
"Yes Tara you're right, its not really funny but Faith had caused a lot of pain for us, we trusted her and we treated her like a friend and she went and blow all this away" Buffy was the one answered Tara, she was standing behind them, Tara tuned her sadness and tears were replaced with anger
"Really Buffy, she was your friend, so what's her last name? does she have any brother or sisters? how did she get money to pay for the hotel?" Tara look at Buffy with a smirk, Buffy and Willow could swear that they never saw Tara in this way before. Tara just looked at them and walk, Willow just followed her.
Buffy didn't say anything, she stood there thinking of what Tara said, she was right though, no one knows anything about Faith, they shut her out, and then pretended to be her friends. Buffy was awakened by someone touching her arm, she turned around and punch with all her force.
"Jeez B, what was that for? I was only asking if blonde was ok" Faith said rubbing her jaw
"Oh, I'm sorry Faith, are you ok?" Buffy put her hands on Faith cheeks but Faith flinch
"Yeah I'm Five by Five, so what's with Tara?"
"I don't really know, I have to go" Buffy ran and Faith shrugged and enter the restaurant.
