Miss Summer at Clifton (revised)

Prologue

"Mom, Mom you home ", Buffy shouted through the house. She went up to her mother's room and

checked if she was there but she wasn't so Buffy went to her room. She locked the door and blasted

the music getting ready to take a shower.

Today was her seventeenth birthday and her mom was throwing her a big party ,she thought that Buffy

didn't know buy hay had let it slip yesterday during lunch, then made her swear to act surprised. She

was glad she had found out because now she had the chance to get really dressed up .Amy was

supposed to be picking her up in an hour to go to the Bronze and then when the got back every one

was supposed to be there already.

She got undressed and padded to the bathroom and jumped in the shower .She started thinking about

the previous day, Parker her boyfriend of a six months had told her he loved her. She had been so

happy she wanted to cry .After they had made out for what seemed like hours in the back of his car .He

was getting itchy, Buffy could tell most boys didn't wait as long as he had for her but he respe tha that

she just wasn't ready .The night before she had gone the farthest she'd ever gone and had given him

a hand job in his car. But that was all she was willing to do and that was ok with him .She got out the

shower and went straight to her room, to dry her hair and get dressed.

By the time she had put her eyeliner on the door bell was ringing down stairs .She grabbed her jacket

and rushed down the stairs to answer it. Buffy was dressed in a

black silk s hes her father had sent her a few days ago as a birthday gift and some black strappy

shoes curtousy of her stepmother .Amy mouthed dropped open when she saw her .

"Ok I feel completely underdressed ,we are going to the bronze right ?"Buffy twirled around in a circle

and smiled at her .

"You like "

"It's beautiful,Daddy?"asked Amy

"It's all he's good for "said Buffy closing the door .

"Let me leave a note for my mom and then we can go, hey did Harmony say if sh--"Buffy stopped

abruptly in the threshold of the kitchen causing Amy to bump into her.

"Hey whats--"She stopped to when she looked in the kitchen. Ms.Summers was on the floor next to the

island a small pool of blood resting on her forhead

"Ohh my god "Amy pushed Buffy out of the way and ran to Joyce lifted her head on her lap and

checking her pulse. She tried again and again to get a rhythm and let out a choked sob when it was

impossible to find one. She stared at the women, dead in her lap, the women that had been liked a

mother to her. She let out out the sob that

had been stuck in her throat and started to cry .She rocked back and forth with the women in her arms.

She looked up through her tears to see Buffy had slidn thn the wall to the floor and was looking at the

seen with wide unseeing eyes. She looked down again a Joyce and brought her hand up to close the

womens eyes. She passed her hand lightly over her face and continued to cry. A moment later the front

door to the house opened and footsteps were heard towards the kitchen .


"Hey you guys hurry up were gonna be --Ohh god"Harmony stopped when she saw Joyce half on the

floor half in Amys arms. She rushed over to Buffy who was still Motionless on the floor .

"Buffy, Buffy "she shoock the girl and got no reaction. "Buffy what happened ?", she yelled at the her.

Buffy just turned her head to look at her a single tear escaping from her eye .Before jumping into

uncontiosness.

"Ohh god "

Four months later

Chapter 1

"Miss Summers, I hope you will be happy here at Clifton and once again I am sorry about your mother "

Buffy Summer looked up at the women who sat in the large mohangany desk in front of her. The lady

was very pretty about thirty-ish short dark brown hair, tanned skin and chocolate colored eyes. A look

of compassion etched on her face. She smiled and nodded at her.

"Thank you, I'm sure I will "she said before standing shaking the womens and leaving the office .

When Buffys mother had died for months ago it had been the worst night of her life. She had been

frozen in her spot looking at her mother as though it was a really, really bad dream. Later she had

regained contiosness in the hospital with Amy and Harmony worrried sick about her. Her father had

come in the next day with the step mother to arange the furneral. She had not spoken to a single

person for two weeks after the furneral just staying locked in her room. Her father had finally broken

down the lock and forced her to have something to eat. That was until her father had told her that she

had to move out of the house and go live with him in New York.


Buffy had fought so hard with him she had ripped hair out. She had cried for two days packing hers and

her mothers things refussing to part with them. When started of term was approaching her father had

sat her down and informed her that he had decided that he would be away on business for too often to

look after her and that her stepmother Denise couldn't either. They had convinced her that Clifton

Academy was a wonderful school seeing as there daughter had been going there since the age of

eleven .The only enjoyable part of her summer had been spending time with the little brat called Dawn

Summersffy ffy had only met her twice when her father had sent her tickts to visit him and the girl was

excatly what she had needed. Every one else had been walking on eggshells around her and the girl

had done no such thing. So here she was at Clifton Prepetory Academy where she had to spend her

Senior year of high school, with no friends, no life and most annoyingly no boyfriend. Luckily for her

she was in to much of a funk to care .

** * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * ** *


Buffy through herself on her bed and sighed .The only remotely good thing about this school was that

they had personallity pairings and she had been put in a room with her now roomate Willow Rosenberg.

The red headed girl had been nothing but nice when Buffy had arrived there the night before and had

not bothered her till Buffy had started conversation. Willow's father had died in a car accident two years

prior and she had fully understood what Buffy was going through.They had talked awhile about the

diffrences between New York and L.A. some and about each others friends. Willow was an honor

student and trustfund baby. Her mother was an alcholic that could care less about her and she had

been going to Clifton since her fr har had died. She was an only child and had one best friend named

Xander that she talked about all the time. Buffy had smiled and laughed through out the whole

conversation not having been able to have girl talk in a long time.


"Hey how'd the meeting with headmistress go?",asked Willow as she entered the room. She had town

large cups of red slushy and handed one to Buffy.


"Thanks, Ohh you know the usual sorry about your mom, I feel really bdon\don't kill yourself on my

watch you know how it goes.", Willow laughed at her friend .


"Don't I, Imagine my father went here with her and she was in tears I wanted to smack her right across

the face, my mother told me they did'nt even like each other when they were in school "Buffy smiled,

eating the slushy with a spoon .

"So where'd you get this, I love these things "

"Ohh Oz took me, his dad got him a new car this summer so hes eager and willing to be my shouffer,

he was taking advantage because when term starts you need a pass from the Headmistress to go into

town.", Buffy laughed .

"Yeah, I'm sure he wont be breaking that rule.", Willow grinned wickedly .

"So what'd you get?"

"What?"

"Your schedule, what classes?"

"Ohh", Buffy pulled out the program the headmistress had given her and handed it to Willow.

"Wow you must have had really good grades in you old school, you have most of the same classes as

me.", Buffy lowered her head and smiled.

"Yeah I've been on honor roll since like the third grade, the only thing I'm not all that good at is Math,

but I mean who's goos at that?", Willow smiled and raised her hand. Buffy through her self back on her

bed and threw a pillow at her .

"It figures "


* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *


Buffy was in a fowl mood. She and Willow had stayed up all night chatting it up and had completely

over slept. When they had gotten to class this morning they had been told by there History teacher

Professor Giles that since they had arrived tardy to class they would have the pleasure of staying for

detention after school.The rest of the day had been fairly uneventful Buffy in a panic over catching up

in her extremly hard classes. Everyone excepr har had seemed to understand what the teacher was

explaining and she felt hopeless. She had already taken a weeks worth of notes and it was only fourth

period.", I cant believe I got detention on the first day of school", Buffy whined "that has to be some

kind of record." she and Willow wet lut lunch and Buffy was telling her how horrible her day had gone .

"Not in this school", said Willow "Xander has broken any and all rules and records to be broken on

academic failure."

"Hey stop putting my dirty laundry out for the public to see.", Buffy looked up to the boy that had just

spo He He was tall with with shaggy brown hair that fell above his eyes, brown eyes and a sweet smile.

He was followed by a short blonde girl with a pretty smile and dark eyes. The boy gave his hand out to

Buffy and she took it.

"Im Xander, you must be Buffy.", she smiled at him and then noticed the girl had her hand rapped

around his arm .

"Hi, Buffy Summers "she said to the girl. The girl gave the first smile since she had reached the table.

"Anya Jenkins, I'm Xander's girlfriend.", she said bluntly and Buffy smiled "Lucky for Xander then", she

said. The girls smile widened .

"I've always thought so", said Xander. They sat down at the table to eat and talk before Buffy

remebered that there was someone missing.

"Where's this Oz your always talking about?", she asked Willow .

"He has lunch fifth with Angel and Devon", she said

"Who's Angel and Devon?"asked Buffy

"Ohh you'll meet them sixth they have English with me, you and Xander.",Buffy nodded and went back to lun lunch.


******************************************************************************************************************************


Xander, Willow and Buffy walked into English class with Buffy and Willow in a fit of laughter. Xander was

giving his impression of there science teacher Mr.Hobs and and they couldn't help but errupt in

laughter. Buffy took a seat in the back of the class behind Xander and procieded to tell them about her

old English tea tha that wore the same plaid jumper every friday since her freshman year.


"Quite down, quite down. Am I going to have to put a muzzle on you Harris?", Buffy looked up to see

the owner of the voice and her breath caught in her throat. What had to be the most beautiful man she

had ever seen in her seventeen years of life was standing at the front of the class laughing as Xander

saluted him. Buffy had never been one to oggle at older men but this specimen was nothing less than

gorgeous. He had skin fairer than her own, high cheekbones that made his face definded and perfect.

Full lips that were pink and moiste. Bright blue eyes that seemed to penetrate deep within her. 'Huhh

she had a good idea what else she would like him to penetrate' .Buffy shuck her self and laughed she

was being culoculous. She continued to silently examine him, he wore a button down stripped blue dress

shirt that hung above his black dress slacks that sculpted his his legs in a way that she could only

explain as sexy. Bufy crossed her legs ans smiled 'Ohh yes she would very much enjoy beeing at

Clifton '.
