Rating: FR13
Pairing/Characters: Buffy Summers

Prompts: 100_situations - #003 (genius)
Notes: Set during BtVS Season One.
Summary: Buffy’s struggling as a student as it is.
Before becoming a Slayer, Buffy had been popular enough that she had had enough friends to help her with her homework. It wasn’t as if her smart friends had done her homework assignments for her, instead they had just helped her, much like how Willow assisted her now. At least, Buffy knew that with the red head’s help she would pass this year with average grades. Even though she felt bad for relying on Willow all the time, Buffy needed all the help that she could get since she was struggling when it came to juggling the assignments her teachers gave her and the assignments that Giles gave her. If she failed any of her classes, it wasn’t as if her she could tell her mother that it was because she was a Slayer, and that came before everything else. If she did, she’d be locked up in a psych ward.
As the blonde Slayer re-read the dry text again about vampires and shape shifters, she felt a headache starting. She pinched the bridge of her nose, in an age old gesture to attempt to relieve the pain. The text was in heavy black ink on yellowed paged and it was written in Old English. How Giles expected her to understand the antiquated language when she was barely passing English as it was baffled Buffy. All she knew was that she only understood one in every twenty words of the musty tome. She was attempted to call Willow but she couldn’t bear to ensnare Willow into her life as a Slayer anymore that she already had. Instead Buffy struggled with the complex reading assignment that Giles had given her and she wished that she had never been Chosen in the first place.
