Chapter 2: The final bell.

Everyone was waiting for Friday's final bell. The teacher- Mrs. Dice- had one ore thing to say.

"Please do your homework this weekend. Faith, Buffy, I hope you realize that I'm talking to you." Mrs. Dice said looking at Faith and Buffy who had been talking until she said their names. They both stopped talking as soon as they heard her say them.

" I don't know what you two do all weekend that makes you not have time for your homework, but I'd like to give you a good grade." Mrs. Dice continued. She started passing out homework sheets. Faith felt irritated because she knew- unlike Buffy- that a lot of people thought they were together because of all the time they spent together. And that was so untrue. Buffy had a boyfriend, Angel, and even though Faith hated him she let it go because it made Buffy happy. Faith herself didn't want that yet seeing as they were going to collage. Faith thought dating was a waste of time.

Mrs. Dice had given her and Buffy their sheets and Faith stuffed it into her folder. Well, she would have the time to get it done. Buffy had said yes to Cordelia , leaving Faith hanging. Faith had learned from herself not to spend money unless it was for herself. She and Buffy hadn't let anything get in the middle of their friendship, but since Cordelia invited Buffy to the party, Buffy had been avoiding her. They only talked in class, and even then Buffy tried to ignore her. Faith felt like they weren't friends any more-, and she hated it.

'when's the stupid bell going to ring?' Faith thought.

As if the bell could read her mind, it went off. Buffy got up and walked away from Faith.

'And the game starts' Faith thought.

Faith honestly couldn't wait until Cordelia told Buffy that they couldn't hang out anymore. While she was walking to her locker, Buffy walked in front of her.

"Um, Faith, I don't know how to say this but we cant hang out anymore." Buffy said, a look of hurt went across her face.

Buffy walked away before Faith could say anything. Faith literally felt like she had just been hit in the face with a rock, or something hard. She ran to her locker and grabbed her things, then ran out of the school and straight home so no one saw her cry. Cordelia smiled at Buffy and they went to get their stuff from their lockers. Buffy felt horrible.
