Chapter 19
When Buffy arrived at school on Monday September 10th she wanted to check the cheerleader postings. She needed to know if she made the squad, but she wasn't entirely sure she wanted to be a cheerleader. Buffy soon discovered this wasn't an option yet, but expected it to be up by the end of the day. Buffy ran into Jessie, who seemed down.
Buffy: You okay?
Jessie: Sorry, I was with Cordelia. She was in a car accident on Saturday.
Buffy: Is she okay?
Jessie; Yeah, she just needs to be in the hospital a few more days.
Buffy: You like her, don't you?
Jessie: Yeah. Xander said it's cool.
Buffy: Why did they break up anyway?
Jessie: I don't know. Xander just said they wanted different things. Anyway I doubt she'll be able to be a cheerleader for awhile.
Buffy: That's definitely not how I wanted to make the squad.
Jessie: I know. It's just a bit creepy, after everything.
Buffy: What do you mean?
Jessie: Amy was in a car accident last month.
Buffy: Amy Madison? She was at tryouts. She gave a doctor's note that she couldn't perform certain moves.
Jessie: And she still tried out? I do not understand your ways.
Buffy: Were there any other accidents like that?
Jessie: Not car accidents. But this one girl Amber, fell down the stairs on Friday. She said she was pushed but security cameras showed Amber was alone.
Buffy thought about all of this. Could Caligo have targeted these cheerleaders? He did seem to have a twisted desire to hurt young girls, especially if he was really behind the shooting in Chicago. But what if it wasn't him? Buffy had a vague idea that if it was one evil dude behind everything he could be fought, defeated. Than all would be right with the world again But what if there was some other evil person, someone not neccessarily allied with Caligo. Buffy wondered, what kind of town had her family moved into?
