Intro to now_ish
Two months in LA and I thought I had seen everything, some would say that ex-Sunnydale residents are prepared for a lot more, which I never really understood. Most of the weird things that I thought I saw always ended up being kids on some sort of drug. College was weird enough without worrying about things that I can't explain. so here I was LA gal having to adjust to a new version of LA that wasn't quite like the movies. I was adjusting though and quick; heck I was even dealing with the thought of the eternal night, sure I had to wear more make-up, but the moon-lighting was a lot more flattering that direct sun, also a bit kinder to the skin. But it all felt too familiar for my taste. I mean of all the luck, I move miles away from that place, only to end up smack dab in the middle of the same situations.
My apartment was in an odd location, closer to the business side of town which just meant it was closer of a walk, though most people had stopped showing up, I still didn't mind getting paid, plus my boss was one of the few to skip town, so I had become my own boss. I had been walking home when I saw him... with a group of people heading toward the W&H building. He was familiar I just couldn't figure it out.
Once I was home it hit me! I had seen him at UC Sunnydale, I don't think he was a student but he was usually with Willow. God, it had been a while since I thought of Willow. She had been in my Sociology class, and she was so smart that I was often writing down what she said in class rather than Mike's actual lessons. I wondered if Willow was in town too. I think I borrowed a pencil from her once. That was the extent of the relationship I had with her. Remembering Willow made me think of Sunnydale and it had been was hard enough leaving Sunnydale. All my friends were there... but there were others there that I didn't rightly care to see anymore. Kara for starters. She was horrifically rude to me, and I didn't appreciate that at all. I told her to go to Hell and left. I had thought about just staying away from her, but in a town like Sunnydale you are always bound to run into someone you are trying to avoid. There is just something about that place that makes the worst thing you can think of just find you no matter where you are.
So I decided LA. My job transferred me there, and I thought it would be a fresh start. However the thought Willow and her red hair might prove me wrong. The more I roamed the town at night the more things I found that felt like Sunnydale popped up. It was like Sunnydale had been cloned and dropped off in LA.
However I knew that the only place for burgers in Sunnydale was the Double Meat, and out here.... if I was hungry I could go anywhere. Tonight I felt like eating out so I grabbed my bag, ditched the thoughts of Sunnydale and headed to a little cafe that was open 24 hours, it had actually turned into one of the few places I knew would be open no matter what it was outside...eternal night or not they just wanted to make some money.
I entered the cafe and took a booth in the corner facing the door.
"Coffee Miss?"
"No, I think I'll just have a Grilled Chicken Salad and a Diet Coke, thanks!"
