Chapter 2: Classes And Disruptions A/N: For all of you who want long chapters, I`m trying to make that possible. I tend to get writer`s block when that happens, so you have to decide. Short, but more chapters, or longer chapters and not as many updates. *-Indicates thoughts. "Hey, Amy." Buffy smiled as she slid into the seat behind the blonde. "Hi, Buffy." Amy greeted her. "I`m judging by the look on your face that you saw Cordelia and it didnt go over well." "Yeah." Buffy nodded. "I dont know why she`s complaining anyway. All she`s ever wanted is to be captain of the cheerleading squad. What`s the big deal?" "I don`t know." Amy shook her head. "You know Cordelia better than most people, Buffy. Better than me. She`ll get over it." "I hope so." Buffy sighed. "Anyway, enough about my problems, how was your summer?" "Great. I saw my father in New York." Amy told her. And the shops there...there`s no way to describe them." "Believe me, I know." Buffy chuckled. "Mom took me there when I was ten and I never wanted to leave. I fell in love with it. That`s where she met Giles, actually. Dont ask. It`s a long and boring story that I really don`t want to go into. The gist is I remember those shops and for townies such as us, its a big deal." "And for those of you who are just tuning in, Miss Buffy Summers was just telling us about her shallowness." A voice interrupted them. "Darla." Buffy snickered. "Don`t you have an elsewhere to be, like say, somebody`s pants?" "At least I can get some, Summers. What, your hand not working for you anymore?" Darla retorted. "You know..." Buffy stood up. "If my parents weren`t here right now, I`d slam my fist in your face." "I`d like to see you try." Darla laughed and walked away. "Stupid bitch." "Fucking whore." Buffy muttered. "I`m sorry, you were saying?" "Welcome to History 1010." The teacher announced. I`m your teacher, Rupert Giles, but you all can just call me Giles. Since your original teacher, Mr. Fremont will not be back this year, I will be teaching this class." "Here we go." Buffy muttered. "Fuck!" Angel O`Connor muttered as he walked into the classroom. "Glad you could join us, Mr. O`Connor." Giles acknowledged the late student. "Always my pleasure, sir." Angel joked. "You can take the seat behind Miss Summers." Giles ordered. "Right." Angel sighed and sat down. "As I was saying..." Giles continued. *Wow, this is boring.* Buffy thought. *First Giles gets roped into teaching my class, and now I get stuck with Angel O`Connor behind me all year. Better not tell Spike. It`ll make him schitzo once again. Then he`ll go all protect-my-baby-sister on me. I wonder what he`d say to that!* *I wonder what Xander`s doing right now.* Amy continued to take notes. *God, I`m tired. Guess that partying was just a little too much last night. I hope class ends soon.* *Stupid bitch!* Darla cursed silently. *She has no idea how lucky she is to be sitting next to Angel. My Angel. He loves me, I know he does. He`s just too stupid to figure it out yet. I`ll get him though, Hook, Line and Sinker.* *I cant believe I`m stuck here with these people. Better play it cool.* Angel reminded himself. *First Rupert gets stuck teaching this class, and then I have to sit behind his stepdaughter. Is there no justice in the world? I just can`t fucking win! God, I hate this class.* "And in conclusion..." Giles stated when the bell rang. "Don`t forget to read chapters 1-3 in your books. There will be a quiz on them next class." "A quiz, Giles?" Buffy said as she walked up to her father. "It`s the first day of school and already you`re giving out homework. Prepare to be the most hated teacher in this school. No one likes an overachiever." "Buffy, dont you have class?" Giles asked her. "Yes, as a matter of fact, I have Mom`s class next." Buffy smiled. "I`m sure she won`t mind if I`m late." "You do know that you are taking advantage of your parents, don`t you?" he asked. "Yes, and what other child wouldn`t?" Buffy asked. "Unless, of course, you`re Spike, who`s just always too early or way tardy." "Get to class, Buffy." Giles scolded. "Yes, sir!" Buffy mock saluted him. "I`ll see you at home later." "Right." Giles agreed and watched Buffy exit the classroom. "Hey, Little Bit." Spike chuckled as he saw Buffy in the hall. "Hi, Spike." Buffy smiled at her brother. "How`s your day been?" "Fine. A little boring, but fine." Spike explained. "So, I heard Papa Bear got roped into teaching your history class." "Yes, but you know Giles. He gets too excited from learning and then it`s all down hill. He`s not happy unless we`re jumping." Buffy rolled her eyes. "Anyway, I`m headed to the computer lab. I`ll see you at lunch?" "Always, kid." Spike smiled and went off in search of his next class. T.B.C. I'll try to update soon. I have so many updates that I'm trying to work in between school, family, work, and my limited internet time. If this fic isn't updated first, it's probably because I promised the feedbackers of Break The Mold and Breathe I`d update sooner than expected.
