It’s been about two weeks since my new little sister popped into my life. She’s been a total pain in my ass. I mean, who does she think she is just waltzing in here with her tall tales, and her big ego, and her massive amount of cleavage? It’s all bull if you ask me. But you didn’t.
I know I sound like a spoiled brat, but I’m not. I swear I’m not. I just got back from LA after going AWOL on everybody, and things were finally getting back to normal. Then miss alligator wrestler had to come along and mess it all up. It just isn’t fair. This is my senior year, things were supposed to be easy.
Not only does she show up and take my friends away from me, but we have to share my watcher too. That means we have to wait for her to get here before Giles will start the training session, or ramble on about some boring demon he wants me to slay. It wouldn’t be so bad because misery loves company, but she’s always really late.
Here she comes now. I’m having lunch in the library with Willow and Xander like I almost always do, and now she’s here to add some zest. I wouldn’t be so irritated but she was supposed to be here this morning at ten so Giles could go over some stuff with us, and so we could tell him about last night’s patrol. It’s not my fault she didn’t show up, but that didn’t stop Giles from acting like it was. Who am I, her mother or something?
“Hey B, Red, X-Man. How’s it hanging?” Don’t you just love her cute little nicknames for us? I feel like I should be wearing one of those Hello My Name Is stickers just so she’ll remember my name. Ok enough bitchiness. I’m starting to irritate myself now.
“We’re fine. It’s nice to see you. A few hours later then I thought I would but still nice.” Ok, so I’m still mad. I can’t help it. You weren’t there. You didn’t hear the way Giles talked to me because Faith was a no show. Anyway the look on her face goes from kinda happy to…is she sad? Well she looks bored now. Since when does she care what I think?
“Yeah, sorry about that. I had to go to the doctor and it really couldn’t wait.” Well that’s new. “Next time I’ll have him write me a note if it’s going to be a problem.” And there’s the sarcasm. I was wondering when she was going to pull that out.
“The doctor? What are you sick? You look fine to me,” Xander says and doesn’t pass up the opportunity to check her out. Faith just smiles a rolls her eyes a little bit. Yeah, ‘cause she isn’t love the attention.
“I’m not sick yet, but I feel like I’m comin down with something. So did you give G-man the low down on last night’s patrol?” I told you she has nicknames for everyone. Well, except my mom. She seems to be the only person Faith respects. It’s a little weird. Anyway, I nod my head and she shrugs her shoulders. “See, ya didn’t need me here after all.” And yet she still came.
“Why did it take you so long at the doctor’s?” Willow asks. Why does she want to know that? Faith gives her a questioning look and leans back in the chair. Five, four, three, two, one…her feet are now up on the table. It doesn’t bother me at all, and hearing Giles scold someone other than me is pretty entertaining. “All of the doctor’s offices in town open at nine, and it’s almost twelve-thirty. Why did it take you so long?” That is a pretty good question. And Faith looks a little afraid to answer. Hmm, that’s weird.
“I had something else I needed to do afterwards.” I’ve never hear Faith sound uncomfortable before. Or look this uncomfortable. Something doesn’t seem right. Where was she? “I gotta go. Tell G-man I dropped by. I’ll meet you at your place say nine-ish for patrol?” I nod my head, but before I can ask anything she’s up and walking towards the doors.
“See you then!” I yell to her but she doesn’t say anything. This is going to bug me all day. Where did Faith go after her doctor’s appointment? She’s never shy about the sex stuff so she wasn’t ‘gettin busy with a beef-stick’. If it was something stupid like going to the store she wouldn’t have lied ‘cause what’s the point in that? Something smells fishy, and I don’t like it. I’m starting to doubt she’s even coming down with something. When slayers get sick it hits hard and fast.
“Something smells fishy,” I say and turn to Xander and Willow. Now that this is bugging me there’s no way I’ll be able to leave it alone.
“That’s just the tuna sandwich I had for lunch,” Xander says and get a concerned look on his face. “Or maybe it was ham. You know, I don’t think the lunch lady has been checking the expiration dates on the canned meat.” Eww. I’m never eating school food again.
“No, Xander, I mean I think there’s something up with Faith. I know we haven’t known her that long but when has she ever been like that in front of us?” I’m trying really hard not to get frustrated by the blank looks on their faces.
“Like what, Buff?” Will asks and takes a bite of her apple. Were they not in the room? Was I the only one paying attention? I love my friends to death, but sometimes they just don’t get it.
“All avoidy. She barely answered your question and when she did she looked a little uncomfortable. Name one time you’ve seen Faith like that.” Great, now they’re looking at me like I’m crazy. That’s just what I needed today.
“Buffy that’s ridiculous. So Faith didn’t want to tell us where she was, so what? It doesn’t mean anything is wrong. Do you tell her every little detail about yourself?” Ok she has a point, but my spidey senses are tingling, and it’s not going away. Maybe I should just let it go.
“You’re right. I’m just being paranoid. We don’t really know anything about her. I’m just afraid there’s something wrong and she’s not telling us.” Yeah, ‘cause that doesn’t sound paranoid. Maybe I need some more sleep. I haven’t been getting enough of that lately. Before I can say anything else the bell rings. The class after lunch is the only one I don’t have with Willow or Xander. So it would be perfectly ok to blow it off. It’s not like they’re going to find out.
“See ya in English Buffy,” Willow says as she and Xander both walk out. They don’t even give me a chance to say by before they’re gone. Well that was rude. Why did I even bother coming back from LA if everyone is going to just walk out on me? Ok, so they don’t always walk out on me, but it seems like it. Or sometimes when I’m talking they’ll interrupt me to ask Faith a question.
If I were Faith at one in the afternoon where would I be? I have no idea. Maybe I’ll just walk around downtown Sunnydale and see if I can spot her. If all else fails I’ll check her motel room, but I don’t know if she’s there. Faith doesn’t seem like the type to stay inside all day. At least I don’t think she is. Now that I’m thinking about it I don’t know Faith at all. They only time we ever really talk is when we’re patrolling, and even then we talk about slaying, boys, and whether or not I’m sleeping with anybody. That girl has a very serious libido, I’ll give her that.
Now I know that Sunnydale is a small town. I’ve patrolled these streets enough to know how bit this place is, but I expected there to be at least a couple of people out here. There’s no one. Everyone is at work or at school and it’s really weird seeing this place so deserted. It almost feels like the whole world ended and I’m the only one left. Wow, when did I get so emo? I need to start thinking positively before bad things happen.
Wait, is that Faith over there? Yeah it is. No one else around here wears leather pants during the day. She’s walking into the pharmacy. So she must’ve been serious about going to the doctor. I can’t just walk in and start talking to her like me bumping into her at the pharmacy is a completely normal thing. Ok so I’m going to need to come up with a lie. Alright, Buffy you can do this, just stay calm.
I open the door and walk inside. A little bell goes off letting the workers know that someone else is here. I don’t see Faith anywhere so she’s probably walking down one of the isles. I start walking around and something in her smells really bad. Jeez, what is that? Oh, it’s probably the horrible smell of cold medicine with disgusting artificial flavors. I always hated that stuff, even when I was little. Ok, so what is Faith doing in the cold medicine isle? No time like the present to find out.
“Hey Faith,” I say in the peachiest voice I can muster. Did I just say muster? I gotta start spending less time with Giles. Anyway, she looks up, and has a very surprised look on her face.
“Hey B. Whatta doin here? Aren’t you supposed to be in school?” I could ask you the same thing. The one thing I know for sure about Faith is that she’s eighteen like me, but she dropped out of school after she was called.
“Yeah. But I didn’t feel like sitting through Mr. Henson go on and on about some stupid war in China so I ditched. I thought maybe we could hang out.” Her eyebrows are practically at her hairline now.
“Really?” she crosses her arms over her chest. Great, now she’s getting defensive. I may not know her well, but I know she’s impossible to talk to when she’s like this. I just need to stay calm.
“‘Cause the way you were talkin earlier made it seem like you don’t want me around.” I was kind of hoping she would forget about that. I look down at my feet in shame, but I force myself to look into her eyes. Hmm, she has a little gold in them.
“I’m really sorry about that. I was just bitchy because Giles gave me a bad time about you not showing up. I guess because I’ve been slaying longer then you have he thinks I’m responsible for your every move.” She smiles this little half smile and one of her dimples is proudly on display. Did I really just get jealous of a dimple?
“It’s cool,” she says and shrugs a little bit. “I know how bitchy watchers can be.” I nod my head a little and smile back at her. Could it be any more obvious that I’m kind of crushing on her? Well, I don’t know if I’m actually crushing on her. All I know is when it’s just the two of us and she isn’t acting all tough I get a really good feeling inside. “But we can’t hang out today.” Good feelings gone.
“Why not?” I ask in a very high pitched tone. I guess it can be more obvious that I like her. “Is it about earlier? Because I said I’m sorry, and I mean it. I know we don’t really know each other all that well, but I was kind of hoping to change that.” She gets this look on her face, like this blind panic, and I know she’s going to bolt. What did I say that was so horrible?
“Look B, it’s cool that you wanna get to know me, I wanna get to know you too. But it’s not a good idea. Especially right now. I’m not trying to be a bitch but I have some places I really need to be. I’ll see you at nine for patrol.” She grabs a bottle off the shelf and stomps off. Well that could’ve gone better. So let me get this straight. I’m considered a spoiled rotten little kid when I don’t want to get to know Faith, and now that I’m taking an interest she doesn’t think it’s a good idea? I just can’t win, can I?
