Write about an overheard remark or secret that you were not supposed to have heard.

Xander Harris and Cordelia Chase.

I like to do my assignments correctly. I was school-girl, remember? Yes, a school girl too, but that is another story and not the point of this one at all. Correct assignment performance also includes staying on topic. So I do understand that tenchnicaly it was not a remark, or comment that I am referring to. But I did hear it.

The slurping.

Buffy was upset, we had the Judge to deal with, and Xander Harris was off slurping with Cordelia in the stacks. That is how I hear his name when I am upset with him. Xander Harris. All full-like, the result of too many afternoons at his house. Which was the point right? At least the point then. All those afternoons, all that time together. All those hours getting him through Geometry with the sheer force of my will.

And he still didn't see me.

Only her. Heard her, slurped with her, and constantly tried to dress it up as something that wasn't supposed to break my heart. He was right -- eventually. One day it didn't.

But it didn't make that night any better.
