Chapter 12 – Oxford
Buffy didn’t hear from Angel again before school
started. She talked to Darla on the
phone a few times and inquired about Angel during those conversations, but
Darla stated that Angel had gone to London with some friends.
she didn’t let on.
Buffy made a very conscious effort to avoid Ethan.
Before she knew it, it was time for school to start.
Buffy’s belongings and take them to her dorm room. They even set up her things for her. Buffy’s driving lessons had been going reasonably well, so Lilah
let Buffy drive to school herself.
Buffy was very anxious to meet her roommate.
room assignments were mailed out but they had not been able to talk on the
phone since Willow had spent the summer in China, traveling with her
family. Willow had told her that her
father owned a software company and that they were from California, San
Francisco to be exact. Buffy was very
glad of this. She hoped they had a lot
in common. Cordelia had already started
Sunnydale U. and was having a blast.
She was already pledging the top sorority on campus and had a new
boyfriend. Poor Connor.
Riley. She’d have to remember to email
him later.
Buffy had no problem finding the American dorm – Clinton
Hall. Her grandmother had told her how
Bill and Chelsea had both stayed at the dorm as students, and it had been named
for their family. It was much smaller
than the other dorms and near the edge of campus. There were only four floors.
The bottom two were for the men and the top two for the ladies.
to get plenty of exercise on the stairs.
Her room was on the top floor.
When she opened the door to her dorm room she found a red head girl was
sitting on one of the beds, typing on a laptop. She turned when she heard the door.
“Hi, I’m Willow, you must be Buffy!”
“That’s me! I’m so
glad to finally meet you Willowpan pan style="mso-spacerun: yes"> She
smiled at the girl.
“Me too, I thought you’d be here yesterday when all your
stuff was brought in.”
“Nah, I figured I just be in the way.
bigger than the ones at Sunnydale U. I
was going to go there before I transferred here.” Buffy explained.
“Yeah it is a good size.
Good t too too since we both have so much stuff.
giggled. “So do you want to grab lunch
at the student union? Check out the othetudetudents? See if us Americans stick out
like a sore thumb?”
“Sure. How’s the
food here?”
“Not too bad. I ate dinner
there last night. But I’m starting to
miss pizza. Anya – she’s in the room
next door with Kathy – said she saw a pizza place in town.”
“Maybe we can go there tonight?” suggested Buffy.
“Great idea! Let’s
stop and see if Anya wants to join us for lunch.”
Buffy noticed Kathy wasn’t included in the invitation.
Anya Jenkins was a nice girl, but incredibly blunt and
upfront about her sex life. When Buffy
and Willow came to invite her to lunch, she was fighting with her roommate
Kathy about her dildo collection.
Apparently Kathy found the top of the TV and inappropriate place for
dildos.
“Can you believe her?” Any huffed as they made their way to
the student union.
“Well maybe you can put them in your bedside drawer,” Willow
suggested. “Easier to get to when you,
um… need them?” She squeaked out, blushing furiously.
“Where do you keep your dildo’s Buffy?” Asked Anya.
“I, uh, don’t have any.”
“So you just use your hand?
Or are you having regular sex?” Inquired Anya.
“Neither!” exclaimed Buffy.
Now she was blushing.
“So how do you satisfy yourself?” Anya asked curiously as
they moved through the food line.
“I don’t.”
“But don’t you miss sex?”
“Well I’ve never had it so there’s nothing to miss,” shrugged
Buffy as they sat down at a table.
“You’re a virgin?” Anya exclaimed loudly.

looked. Buffy was mortified.
“Hey, I am too.” Offered Willow, trying to make Buffy feel
better.
“Wow, you two are cute girls, I never would have thought.”
Anya seemed genuinely surprised. “I’ve
had lots of sex. Since I was 14.
I’m looking. I broke up with my
boyfriend before I came here. An
overseas relationship really wouldn’t work for me.” She explained. “So do you two have sexless boyfriends?”
“I don’t.” replied Willow.
“I broke up with my boyfriend at the beginning of
summer. I met a guy this summer who’s a
grad student here, but there was an incident and I haven’t heard from him.”
Buffy explained.
“An incident? What
type of incident?” asked Willow.
“It’s rather embarrassing.” Buffy wished she never brought
the subject up.
“Oh, now you have to tell us!” exclaimed Anya.
You know the three of us are going to be best friends so you might as
well spill your guts now.” She smiled brightly at Buffy.
Despite the girl’s bluntness, Buffy really did like
Anya. And Willow seemed like such a
sweet girl.
“Okay, what the hell.
What happened was my grandmother was trying to se upe up with this guy
and I was really pissed she was setting me up so I decided to have a little fun
with him. He seemed like a really fuddy
duddy type, so I started coming onto him really strong to make him
uncomfortable. Well he responded and we
started kissing and I realized he was really attractive.
in on us. He sent they guy home and I
haven’t heard from him since.”
“Wow, that really sucks.” Willow offered sympathetically.
Anya nodded in agreement.
“Maybe he’s just scared of your uncle.
Maybe now that you’re at school, he’ll call.”
“I hope so. I kind
of became friends with his sister and my grandmother and his father are really
good friends, so it’s going to be really uncomfortable if he doesn’t.”
Willow and Anya nodded in agreement.
The girls spent the afternoon exploring the campus and
getting their books. They went back to
the dorm to catch a nap before going out that night.
