The things we do to help another...

I got up to my roommates alarm yet again this morning, she gets up an hour before I have to even think of getting up. I’m really going to have to talk to her about not leaving it blaring till I get up to turn it off. It’s really not fair

As soon as class was over I handed my test over and headed out of the main door's, heading straight for the dorm's. I was upset at Faith but I wasn't in the mood for a confrontation, and let's face it, I'm not very good at those. Usually I run from them.

I headed out and was quickly pounced on by Faith, I stopped and looked at her. "You're welcome." I paused a moment and waited for her to say something about the test. "You're welcome for your final grade too." I snapped at her, looking at her really annoyed.

That smile of hers, why did it irritate me so much? It's one of those smiles that you plaster on when you want something from someone or you got away with something you shouldn't have.

"Yeah, I'm sure the professor would love to have you back." I couldn't help but roll my eyes and shift my bag on my shoulder, crossing my arms over my chest and looking at her. There was something about her that just brought out the worst in me, all the little things she did made me want to lash out at her and show her that just because you're pretty and speak your mind doesn't mean you can have the world. You can't have your cake and eat it too.

I glanced at my watch and then back at her, I shrugged and ran my fingers through my hair, waiting for some sort of response from her. "I'm not falling for your 'charm' Faith." My eyes met hers and oh, I think that was a bit of a bad thing. Nice eyes. Then again Willow had nice eyes. "I don't unders-stand why you are even trying charms after the fact..."

My eyes narrowed at her when she snapped at me. She'd snapped at me last night too for protecting her from that bum! What the fuck? She was the one who woke me up to go take the test. She knew I didn't study! What did she want me to do? Up and fail it anyway? Thought we were friends, thought she was gonna give a girl a hand. As usual? I thought wrong. What the fuck ever. Damn, I couldn't just snap at her either. I still needed her help with that whole deal on The Immortal.

"Jeez sorry. Didn't know you were gonna get your panties all in a bunch just cause I copied your test." I said with a non-chalant shrug as I crossed my arms defensively over my chest. "I mean, you were the one who decided to play Patrick Swayze this mornin' and wake my ass up." What? I did have a point! I coulda just failed the test right from my own bed instead of havin' to get up and do it. Made all kinds of sense to me. Why was this chick bein' such a stick in the mud? Maybe I should set her up with Wesley. They'd be perfect together.

"I don't know what you're talkin' about." I shrugged again and lit up a smoke as she told me my charms weren't gonna work on her. What charms? You mean that cute smile that won over everyone except her. Even Wes fell for that smile all the time, well sometimes. He tried to stay strong about it most of the time, but we both knew how that worked sometimes.

"It's cool. Look, sorry for buggin' you or whatever." With that I turned my back on her and started headin' back to my dorm. Way to go, Faith. You're totally rockin' the finesse now. With a groan, I realized I'd told Wesley I'd check in with him later. He wasn't gonna be happy about this. No reason he needed to know though really.

Apparently my being annoyed didn't register with her. She had no idea why I was even remotely upset. That upset me even more. I'm so tired of people walking on me and thinking they can just because I'm quiet and reserved. I'm not loud and open like most people, but I'm not most people, I'm me and that's not going to change.

I watched Faith walk away and I don't know why but that made my blood boil. She thought that she was the wronged one, I can't get myself to wrap around that logic and I don't understand what her logic is for some of the things she does.

"Faith." I went after her and she looked annoyed - not surprisingly - and I crossed my arms over my chest and took a deep breath. "I-I'm so-sorry. I shouldn't have...I was wro-." She got this smug look on her face and there was that look in her eyes again and I lost all will to finish what I was saying. "Nevermind." I sighed and shook my head. "I'm not going to b-bother." I was realizing that she wasn't worth the angst or the effort to say I was sorry, it wouldn't phase her, she'd still act how she does. It would take a lot to change her, I can see that.

I started to walk away from her and head back to my dorm. "Someday...s-someday you'll see the world isn't all about you..." I muttered as I shifted my bag on my shoulders as I headed up the path, not looking behind me.
