if you can't love me, honey, go on just pretend.

I can honestly say that I wasn't in any way looking forward to seeing Dawn Summers again. Personally, I'm sure that I had indulged in her enough the first time. Between the warmer side I'd seen earlier and the true ice cold bitch routine, that I'm sure she could have practiced and gotten a little better at had she consulted her roommate, I'd had my ( Read more... )

He was still smiling at me and as much as I hated to admit it I liked his smile, I thought maybe he should do it more often. Then I pushed those thoughts away, I had to remind myself that I knew guys like him and I knew exactly how things ended up. Logan was bad news, if not because he was a jerk then definately in spite of it - since it was only surface ( ... )

"Yeah, I like that too," I agreed with her. If there was one thing about Neptune it was the fact that the town was disaster. "My old town... Neptune, hid everything. I mean, the whole place was build on this ignorance towards the secrets that everyone possessed. Our mayor molested his little league teams. I mean, that was our mayor." I scoffed ( ... )

I sort of nodded at what she was saying, though it seemed like Sunnydale was just as psychotic as Neptune in the fact that the general populace preferred to be ignorant and oblivious ( ... )

I can tell there's something big going on in his head while I'm talking, it kind of takes me aback. Not that I think he's incapable of thinking about something big or anything but because, well actually I wasn't sure why it surprised me. I knew enough about Logan from Madison to know he hadn't had an easy life, despite the way Madison said it - uncaring - he didn't have it simple. Maybe he acted like he had and maybe he liked the comfort in that lie or maybe it was a neccesity, I knew what that was like ( ... )

"She would have said it even if I didn't cut her down," I replied to Dawn, knowing it was the truth. Madison was a gossip queen. It wasn't as if she was going to do anything else. Who knows what else Madison had talked about, but at least Dawn was honest when she said that Madison had in fact told her the sordid details of my life. "It's not like my life needs her embellishments, but it's all probably true anyway. Just from her perspective."

And that was the truth. Despite Madison hailing with gossip, the things the Echolls family had done weren't exactly in need of exaggeration. We'd given enough to the press. "Personally, I think she just ends up with this sign that states vapid whore on her forehead whenever she opens her mouth. I'm not worried. I'm used to it ( ... )

So that was true. Madison would have decided that I needed to be warned about Logan or that it was her right since she'd had to deal with him for like 6 years. Whatever, I still hadn't cared much about what Madison siad ( ... )

It wasn't like I had room to talk when it came to treating other people. I wasn't completely obvious to the fact that I was part of the problem and that I added to things. There was a reason why Weevil and the other PCHers decided burning down my house was a good idea and it was more than the fact that they suspected me of murdering Felix.

Just I wondered if it bothered Dawn at all to hear all the crap that Madison dished out day after day. She could put her in her place because being a bystander didn't make her innocent. It probably made her just as bad as Madison in the end ( ... )

He talked about people not knowing me and I wasn't blind to the fact he was talking more about himself than he was me. That was exactly the reason I had barely listened to Madison about him. The only reason that I believed anything she said at all was because he proved that he could be a jackass to the very end ( ... )

She claims that she makes up her own opinion about people, but I can't help but notice that she's more or less acted like she's made up her mind about me before even knowing me. I'm sure of this if only because of her attitude towards me a few days ago and even now some. It's like she doesn't even want to bother giving me a chance. I almost rolled my eyes at that. Dawn kept proving herself to be a hypocrite and I was almost positive that was because she was scared of something.

"Because I won't go walking barefoot in the park?" She asks, playing along and grinning at least for the moment ( ... )

He had some kind of reaction to what I said but he didn't say anything. He could think what he wanted. It's not like I cared what he thought about me anyway, at least not a lot. I had already decided that I didn't want to get involved with this guy, he was too much like other people I knew and I knew it was just trouble waiting to happen. It wasn't fair but it's how I kept myself from going insane. Besides, once anyone learned the truth about me they never stuck around - unless they had Buffy as a door prize.

He goes on for a moment with the scene and then he's getting closer to me and I'm frozen when he changes the script on me.

"Because you won't kiss me."I just stare at him for a moment because I can't even fathom what's happening. Two minutes ago he seemed like he just couldn't get it, like I irritated him because he thought I'd made some snap judgement about it - which alright wasn't untrue but I had my reasons. And now? Now he was leaning closer to me and I knew he was about to kiss me ( ... )
