Okay so going out the window wasn't as bad as I had imagined. At least I was in pants. Poor Dawn. But hey, she looked really cute in my dress. Sure she looked a little uncomfortable, but hey, beauty is pain right? Or is that the other way around? Oh whatever I know what I mean at least
( ... )
The drive over my stomach was in knots the whole time. Not only was I in a dress that was too tight and pulling my stomach in an awkward manner, but I had lied to Mom, climbed out a window and now I am sneaking into a club that I am not old enough to get into. Taylor though? Calm and cool as a cucumber.
She pulled into the parking lot and turned of the engine. I think I was sweaty. She reached into her purse and pulled out her lipstick. She reapplied and handed it over to me.
"Here, touch up your lipstick."I flipped the visor and took a look in the vanity mirror. It didn't look like I needed more, but I did it anyway. I passed it back to here, and watched as she got out of the car. I was a bit less sure of myself, but once I saw her walking towards the entrance so confident I knew I needed to step up. So step up I did. Held my head high, and tried to walk like Taylor was. I didn't look at anyone else, trying to keep up the posture that I was better than them. Sure I was a freshman... but only because of my birthday... I bet I could

Dawn looked really uncomfortable having an alcoholic beverage in her hand. My guess is that she's never had one before. Well she is really young so I guess that could be the reason. But drinking alcohol isn't about the buzz, at least not for me. It's about the image you're present to the older crowd around you. No alcohol basically means you're either a prude or so trying to fake it.
"So then the professor tried to fail me, but I called them on their antiquated ways citing Goldberg."Wait, did I just roll my eyes? Oh yes that's right I think I did. "You know it's too bad all you can do is regurgitate information instead of actually understanding it. Let me guess. You have a couple of books highlighted with important sounding quotes that can make you seem intellectually superior in front of women right?" I watched as the guy's face fell. "Yeah, that's what I thought. Come on Dawn
( ... )
They kept on rambling, and I was losing interest fast. How the heck did Taylor even tolerate this stuff. I know she is a lot older than me, but I was pretty sure I was smart, and this stuff was just trivial.
"You know it's too bad all you can do is regurgitate information instead of actually understanding it. Let me guess. You have a couple of books highlighted with important sounding quotes that can make you seem intellectually superior in front of women right? Yeah, that's what I thought. Come on Dawn."
Now that? Was awesome. It reminded me of that scene in Good Will Hunting when Matt Damon totally tells those ugly guys where they can stick their intelligence. I smirked at them as they just stood there not knowing which end was up anymore. She grabbed my hand and we headed to the dance floor.
"Some guys are such losers, all right Summers, let's dance."After setting her drink down on a table, I did the same, it wasn't like I had really drank any of it anyway, but I had been sipping every so often. We moved onto the dancefloor and

I couldn't believe much of anything these days. The voices in my head came in waves. Sometimes all loud and insistent, other times there were none at all. I think most the kids were scared now. There was too much death and chaos for them to really worry about their own small problems
( ... )
Taylor? Mom said she wasn't the succubus but that didn't really mean anything because I loved my mom but she couldn't pick out a demon if they were her best friend.
I jumped at a hand on my shoulder, turning around near ready to knock someone out, I saw Anya.
Why was Anya ... Nevermind, obviously for her to seek me out that meant there was trouble, or something.
"Hey! So... that 'exchange student' you were looking for?? Yeah... she sort of took care of her 'project' and is leaving with 'relatives'?"
Exchange student? What? Oh right. The lets pretend we're talking about this, but we're not. Did she learn that from Xander? But she was leaving? With relatives, which meant no boy to kill.
I glanced at Dawn who looked more than relieved that there was slayer business afoot.
"I know you wanted to 'catch her' before she left... but too late. A group of students are driving her somewhere."Dammit
( ... )
Dawn looked uncomfortable, in the dress as well as the situation. Poor girl. Anyway, less about her more about the deadness of my potential sex partner.
"I'll deal with you later, and because I'm the best sister in the world I won't mention this to mom. She so doesn't need to be worrying about both of us all the time. But promise me you'll be careful. Nice to not quite meet you and sorry for the weirdness, I'm sure Dawn will explain that ... what would you call me Dawn? A Spaz."
I smiled. Buffy was a spaz. Of course she was a spaz with all that super power. So I was wary. She said her farewells to the two underage minors and shooed me into a corner to talk more. She was very pushy.
"Ok. So she was here, and students are taking her? As in someone captured her already? Someone's ... who the hell would even know about her?""She was here, but before she was here, she was with Parker, who by the way is dead now. Then I guess she came here to find more men to enslave and instead found some trouble. A group of five or six student looking
