Chapter Three
Buffy was still thinking about how Xander had made her feel. He’d been her best friend for as long as she could remember, and they’d done things a boyfriend should only do to his girlfriend. She hadn’t seen or talked to him all weekend, after Friday night. It was Monday morning, and she was actually worried about seeing her friends. Would Willow and Tara be able to tell that they’d done something? She was waiting in her living room, because Xander had been picking her and Willow up for school. She was extremely figity, and almost called him to back out of him picking her up. It was too late, because she heard the horn honking outside, indicating that he’d gotten there. Buffy had stressed over her attire, and had settled on a short skirt, and a pink tank top. She’d left her hair down to fall on her shoulders. She took a deep breath, and walked out the front door, towards his car. She was surprised to see Oz in the front seat. He was one of his, but they didn’t hang out much. She had an uneasy feeling, and climbed into the back of his car. Oz and Xander didn’t say anything to her, just drove the short distance to Willow’s house. She ran to the other side of the car, and gave Buffy a puzzled look. Buffy just shrugged, letting her anger take over her uneasiness.
When they arrived at the school, Xander once again, ignored everyone. He turned the car off, locked it, and headed off to his first class. Willow grabbed Buffy’s arm and pulled her to the side.
“ Whoa, something is different from Friday night. You guys were all cuddly, and now he won’t look at you.” Buffy just glared.
“ I know. Willow, we did stuff after you guys left. Not all the way stuff, but stuff. I didn’t wanna tell you, but I’ve had a crush on him for a while now. He told me that he never got over his crush for me, and now he’s being a dick. Buffy doesn’t play like th at, Willow. Buffy’s going to accept Angel’s offer for a date. He’s been asking me every week since Riley and I broke up.” Willow started to make a statement, but the bell rang. Luckily, Buffy didn’t have a class with Xander until after lunch.
Buffy had only been speaking in half truths this morning with Willow. She’d only accept Angel’s offer if Xander was stupid when she talked to him. She’d skipped lunch and spent it in the library. When she got to her chemistry class, she couldn’t avoid him, because he was her lab partner. She walked into the class, and took her seat, rather stiffly. She didn’t look over at Xander, because she was still very upset with his silent treatment. When they got their assignments, Buffy set to work. She was determined not to talk first, and it appeared to work. She knew that she was acting somewhat childish, but at that moment, she didn’t care. She was genuinely surprised when he did speak.
“ So, Missed you at lunch, Buffy.” Buffy didn’t look at him, just kept preparing the solution they’d been assigned.
“ Yeah, I was in the library studying.” Xander didn’t speak again, just did his part of the project. They both had the same last class, so when the bell rang, they walked in silence. Xander knew he’d hurt Buffy’s feelings, but he’d been so nervous at seeing her. Willow had pulled him aside and called him a bonehead.
After school was over, Buffy had no intention of riding home with Xander and the others. She was going to linger and take her time in walking home. Xander still wasn’t talking to her, so she wasn’t going to ride with him. Buffy had a car, but she was grounded from it because of her latest ticket. It had been a month, and she hadn’t asked, so she was sure her mom would let her start driving again.
She’d told Willow she wasn’t riding with them, and she didn’t want him to pass her as she walked. So, she lingered in the halls until she was sure they’d gone. She took the back way so she would be sure to miss them. When she got home, her mom was home from work. She generally got off at four. Buffy walked through the front door with her best scowl on her face. Joyce looked up at Buffy from the couch in surprise.
“ Oh Buffy, why are you home so late?” Buffy plopped down next to her with a flop.
“ Xander and I aren’t talking, because he’s a jerk. I refused to ride with him, so I walked.” Joyce’s eyes got wide at her daughter’s statement.
“ Honey, you walked all the way home from school in heels?” Buffy looked over at her mom and nodded.
“ So, I was wondering if you could give me a ride to school until my driving privileges are back, and I’ll walk home.” Joyce looked at her daughter with amazement. She hadn’t asked to drive her car, she’d asked for a ride to school.
“ Buffy, I think you can start driving again. You’ve been really good, and you haven’t even asked to drive. Just know that if it happens again, you’re driving privileges are revoked until graduation.” Buffy let her mouth drop open in surprise.
“ You’re gonna let me drive again?! Mom, you’re so totally awesome!” Buffy hugged her mom, and ran up to her room to call Willow. Willow picked up on the third ring.
“ Hey Wils, guess what?” Willow didn’t say anything at first, and Buffy could hear her moving around. When she did start speaking, she was whispering.
“ Buffy, what the hell did you do to Xander? He is in my bedroom totally about to cry.” Buffy was taken aback at how harsh Willow’s voice sounded.
“ Willow, what are you talking about? He’s the one who was a prick to me this morning.” Willow was really huffy, and Buffy didn’t understand.
“ Listen Buffy, Xander told me everything. He was nervous this morning, and you didn’t speak to him. Xander has been my best friend since birth, so you need to fix this. I don’t care what you have to do, but if you wanna continue to hang out with us, you’ll fix it. From what I understand, you started this mess with Xander. So, do you wanna talk to him?” Buffy couldn’t believe that her best friend in the world was giving her an ultimatum on hanging out with them. She’d turned down being popular to hang out with Willow and Xander.
“ You know what, Willow? You can kiss my ass! How dare you give me an ultimatum on whether or not you’ll be my friend! That lets me know right there, that you were never my friend to begin with. What happens between Xander and myself is absolutely none of your business. Have fun doing your prom and graduation stuff by yourself, because I sure as hell won’t be there! I’m done with you guys, because if this is how you’re going to react over something so stupid, then I don’t want to be your friend.” After making her statement, she slammed her phone down. To hell with Willow and Xander! The thought of her best friends not being her friends, dissolved Buffy to tears.

Willow was stunned for a moment. She hadn’t meant for Buffy to take it like that. She was just wanting Buffy to talk to Xander instead of avoiding him. She walked back into her room, where Xander and Tara sat waiting.
“ Um guys, I don’t think I helped matters any.” Xander gave Willow a puzzled look before talking. He’d been so upset after school, when Buffy hadn’t shown up. She’d either caught a ride with someone or she’d walked.
“ What’s up, Wils? I don’t think my day can get any worse.” Willow winced at his choice of words.
“ Well, I don’t think Buffy is going to have anything to do with any of us now. I messed up royally.” She explained everything to them, and she’ll never forget the look that Xander had given her. He hadn’t said anything, just walked out of her room, then her house, leaving completely. Tara put her arm around Willow, trying to control her own anger.
“ Willow, you need to go to Buffy tomorrow and apologize. You had absolutely no right to say what you said to her. Listen, I’m gonna go home now.” Willow sat and watched as her best friend and girlfriend walked away from her.
