Chapter 354
On Friday March 29th Dr Gregory handed back the student's science tests. He asked Buffy to see him after class. Willow waited for Buffy while she talked to the teacher. 69 days until graduation, only 7 until spring vacation. Buffy came out with an odd look on her face.
Willow: Was the grade that bad?
Buffy: Actually, I got a perfect score.
Willow: Me too. This is great! Okay, good grades make me really happy, not for everyone.
Buffy: Dr Gregory said I should consider making chemistry my college major.
Willow: And you don't like the idea?
Buffy: That's the problem, I have no idea what I want. I have so many options, and very little time to decide. Let's see, there's being trained by Giles as a potential slayer. Joining Faith on the darkside. College. The army. Larry says I could try out for the Dodgers and make the team.
Willow: Maybe you could balance Giles' training with college.
Buffy: Maybe. There are other things. I miss Xander. But somehow I'm drawn to Angel and Spike. Probably not a good idea for a slayer, even potential, to date a vampire. And other times, I'm a little attracted to you or Faith.
Willow: What now?
Buffy: And there's the issue of children. My mom was in highschool when she was pregnant with me. That's not plan A, but when do I want to have children? Do I want them? I don't know. So yeah, I have a lot of choices, little time to decide, and no idea what I actually want. Hence my little freakout.
Willow: It's normal, I'm scared too. College sounds fun. Be around people who are there voluntarily, not just those who think of school as a 13 year prison sentance. But I fear it'll be harder than I can handle. Or that me and Tara won't ast in college. Everyone's afraid, but we can do it. We'll help each other.
Buffy: Thans, I needed to hear that.
