Make a
Move:
“Oh!
Backtrack!” Will said, dragging Liam backwards until they were back outside the
library.
“Wha-!” Liam
shouted in surprised as he was dragged into the library only to be shushed by
an amused looking
“Hey guys”
Willow bubbled cheerfuly, “So what can I do for you” she asked as they stopped
in front of her, Giles giving Liam a frustrated look at his grumbling.
“Hi. Nothing
big just that you have my chemistry-“Will was cut off by the slam of the
library doors.
“I don’t care
if he wants to see me or not you freak! I’m seeing him anyway!” Cordelia yelled
as she rushed through the doors of the library with Xander stumbling at her
side. Cordelia did not look happy, then again she rarely did.
“I do say! If
you’re all going to come in here screeching and screaming I suggest you do it
somewhere else!” Giles sputtered red-faced, as he tried to put his ‘Stern’ face
into place.
Everyone
turned and stared at Giles with indifference. Challenging him to start an
argument with the teenagers.
“Y-Yes well,
do carry on then” Giles stuttered as he grabbed his book and walked, quickly,
into his office.
Liam watched
Cordelia cautiously as she smoothed out her hair and stood calmly in front of
him, looking very determined.
“We need a
serious talk” Cordelia stated, her face falling into a saddened expression.
Liam became instantly worried.
“What’s Buffy
done?” Liam asked, immediately knowing who was to blame if Cordelia, of all
people, was standing in front of him without her pals and talking to him.
Cordelia sat
down and smoothed out her slightly rumbled skirt and shrugged, “Nothing yet.
Well, nothing at the present moment, not counting past things” she sighed as
she struggled to find the right words.
“No need to
rush pet” Will said, patting Cordelia lightly on the shoulder. Liam inwardly
growled, he hasn’t touched ME on the shoulder like that, Liam pouted
childishly, lower lip hangly out petulantly. It reminded
Xander
coughed, “Anyway! Back to the Distressed Damsel” he said, setting the room back
on track. Will sat in the chair next to Cordelia and Liam tried with all his
might not to run to sit next to him. He settled for walking quickly.
Cordelia
studied her finger nails as she spoke, “She has a plan. It seems that the
little incident in Art class was the last straw for her Liam. You’re in for it,
as deep as anyone can get” she stated, looking up and staring at Liam full on.
She wasn’t kidding around and that made Liam nervous.
Very nervous.
The room’s
temperature instantly plummetted leaving the room cold and unyieldling.
Xander
chuckled and asked, “Will hiding in a cavern with stockpiled chocolate goods be
any part of this plan?” Everyone ignored him.
“What is she
going to do to me Cordelia” Liam asked, already dreading the answer.
Cordelia
laughed humourlessly and rapped her nails on the table, “Oh no. She isn’t going
to do anything to you” She stated.
Everyone
looked at her in confusion and Cordelia looked at Will, smiling apologetically
at him.
“Me? What did
I do!” Will asked, feeling uneasy.
“Oh God” Liam
whispered and
“So what’s
this big plan then?”

The silence
was finally broken after 10 long minutes.
“B-But that
doesn’t make any sense”
“Magic doesn’t
even exist!” Will blurted out as he paced the floor.
“But Buffy
believes it does” Cordelia stated.
“But what
Buffy believes doesn’t mean that it’s fact!” Liam shouted, joining the pacing.
“But Buffy
believes that it exists” Cordelia stated again.
“But just
because Buffy believes that it exists doesn’t mean that it’ll work!” Xander
added, still staring into space.
“But Buffy
believes that it will” Cordelia continued in exasperation.
“Yeah well
just because Buffy believes that her plan’ll work doesn’t mean that anything
will actually happen” Liam roared at the top of his voice.
Cordelia
jumped up from her chair, “It doesn’t matter because BUFFY BELIEVES IT WILL
WORK! Whatever Buffy believes she will do it! Whatever makes her angry or mad
she will get vengence and forget the possible facts! Buffy will try to make
this work and she won’t stop until it does! She is on a rampage!” Cordelia
shrieked, breathing heavily.
“She will get
her own back no matter what the circumstances” Cordelia whispered, “Whether or
not you believe me is another thing altogether but please be careful. I know
that I’m not the best of people to trust but I don’t want anyone hurt” She
finished, leaving the room.
Will opened
his mouth and closed it several times before he gave up and slumped down in a
chair and Liam sat down beside him, pulling him into a one-armed hug.
“As much as I
love looking at young love you have already missed first period and I want you
to leave for your next one” Giles said at the office door, his arms crossed
over his chest disapprovingly.
“Hey G-Man!
How’s it hanging?” Xander greeted, snickering as Giles wiped his glasses,
obviously flustered.
“Mr. Harris!
please do refrain from addressing me with that name, now hurry along!” Giles said,
shooing them from the library as they moaned at being manhandled.
As soon as
they left Giles took a deep breath, “Well im not dead or unconsious so bravo
for me!” Giles muttered to himself with relief and then went back to his
reading.

“Guys”
Liam pulled
Will away and into a secluded corridor. He took one look at Will and took a
deep calming breath.
“Please don’t
be mad but this is the only way I can tell you” Liam whispered to Will as he
looked curiously at him.
“Tell me
wh-“Williams sentence was cut off as Liam grabbed hold of his face with both
hands and brought him into a deep, passionate kiss. When Will finally did get
past the shock, Liam had pulled away, much to his disappointment.
“Sorry, sorry,
sorry, sorry, Please don’t hate me” Liam repeated with his eyes closed, hands
still on Williams cheeks. When Will didn’t reply, he slowly opened his right
eye only to be grabbed roughly by the hair at the back of his head and pulled
down onto Will’s lips, both mouths fully open to explore the other’s.
“Excuse me!” A
voice barked out loudly.
William and
Liam shot apart in a daze and quickly looked around for the source of the
noise. There was no one in sight.
“Ms. Summers!
I suggest you get to lesson right now if you don’t wish to mark your, already
awful, record. Now march young lady!” Snyder’s voice rang out from around the
corner and the two boys peeked out from their place, hidden from view.
Summers stood
with her back to Snyder as he continued ranting and raving, walking steadily
towards her, but she paid him no attention as she placed several small bags,
containing herb-like substances, into her locker. She quickly closed it before
Snyder caught up to her and turned to face him.
“God don’t you
have anything better to do than chase after students, unlike you I have other
things to do” Buffy spat as she walked towards her class, away from Will and
Liam, with Snyder still hot on her heels.
“Now listen
here missy!” Snyder hissed as he stopped in front of her, “Just because I am
the authority figure of this school doesn’t mean that you have any excuse run a
mockery of me!” Buffy sighed with annoyance at the lecture, got out her brush
and smoothed out her hair in boredom.
“Enough of
this hair business and get to lesson!” Snyder shouted angrily.
Buffy snorted
and pushed past him, “You’re really gonna have to get over the whole...primal
power thing. Also, in terms of hair care, you really wanna say, what kind of
impression am I making in the workplace?” Buffy mocked as she walked into
class.
“She may not
be the best girl in the world, but you gotta respect her for that” Will
muttered, amused as Snyder tried not to stomp childishly as he walked away.
Liam tapped
Will on the shoulder and took a deep breath as he faced him, “Would you like to
h-hang out or something a-after school?” Liam blurted out.
Will smiled,
“Sure that’d be great. But your gonna have to meet my sis, she’s kind of waaay
over protective” Will replied, pecking Liam on the cheek.
“Until then”
Will said, walking towards the maths department, leaving Liam smiling hugely.
He barely refrained jumping up and down in joy.
