Twin: Welcome to the...Gym Class?
by whiteslayer
Bray stood at the bottom of the sundrenched stairs and looked up at the building before him.. he looked at everyone, and shurgged, he didnt look out of place thank god.. he wore blue jeans and a black leather studded belt, and a cotton knit long sleeve shirt in a baby blue color, it was the same icey blue color as his eyes. Slowly walking the the stairs he smiled as he saw buffy and two other people, a young man and a slight cute red head. Bray wasn't about to break up this little get together these three were having, but he no doubt would see them in class.

Pushing the thick double doors open he walked down the corridoor and smiled, this was way cool, cooler than St patricks boys school back in New Zealand. He did the usual things student did on a first day, went to the principals office, was given his locker number, then was showen to his classroom. First of the day...Gym Class..

"So buff... any bad guys in the weekend?" Xander said as they sat on the bleachers waiting for class to start
"No.. well.. some.. more than the past month, it seems most dont seem to care that i killed the beloved master - or.. they really do.. and they want me dead..." buffy shrugged and pulled her hair back, tieing it back and smiling
"well at least it shows there's no big... demony evil..things.. coming" Willow piped up and smiled her cute goofy smile she always seemed to do.

Bray walked out of the boys locker room and into the main gym, the gym class uniform looked kinda cute on him, the top was a little tight but ah well, it would do..
He noticed Buffy and walked over to see her, those two other people she was with earlier were here too, yay friends.

"hey Buffy, and friends who i am yet to know.." Bray smiled and sat down just below them
"Bray, Hi! this is Willow, and Xander" Buffy smiled and looked to each of them "You look.. fixed... in the whole.. non injured anymore sense" Buffy slid down and sat with Bray

"So your feeling all better now Bray.. no more owchues?" Willow calmly and nervously said
"No, well i mean im still feeling a little crampy.. but im guessing that'll be worse after this class... I hear the teacher - she has chest hair?" he laughed a little and Will, Xand and Buffy joined in
"well hey.. maybe she's a hairy demony half breed thing" Xander quipped as Willow shot him a jab to the side and a glare that Buffy did too, Bray shifted uncomfotably and laughed nervously and stopped and smiled.

The rest of the day wooshed past and it turned out he had most of his classes with Buffy or her friends, which was nice to know that he knew people now. In his last class for the day 'History' he sat next to Buffy and most of the time they seemed to pass notes, at the end of the class he walked with Buffy and they chatted a little
"So you heading to the Bronze tonight?" Buffy asked with a pep in her voice as she slid her books into her locker
"Bronze.. now that would be the place where i haven't been yet.." Bray looked at buffy and shrugged
"Oh.. a club, kinda cool... can get a little rough ya know, with the vamp....gangs, who sometimes...go, and....they....have...drunken fun" Buffy said as she closed her locker and smiled nervously
"Oh.. well, i might go... be merry, with the drunken gang members.." he laughed a little and smiled "hey here's my phone number.." he scribbled it down and handed it to her "Give me a call when, you guys head down and i'll come with" he smiled and looked at his watch "I have to jet B.. i'll see you later" he turned and walked off. Buffy waved as Bray walked away, she looked down at his phone number smiling and shoved it in her pocket. Heading towards the library she kept asking herself to many questions..and she wasn't happy with what she realised - too many questions and not enough answers..

Bray stepped under the jets of hot water, it wasn’t too hot but he gritted his teeth and turned it down a little, he stood and ran his hand over his short hair and over his face. Bray put his forehead against the cool tiles and took in a deep breath, the steam seemingly cleansed his lungs and made him feel more relaxed, he closed his eyes and heard his parents voices “you’re nothing but a useless brat!” “Nobody loves you, Worthless!!” he gritted his teeth and slammed his fist against the wall. Cracked tiles mixed with blood as it ran down the wall and he washed the blood off, he had a few small cuts in his hand, he finished washing up and stepped out of the shower, grabbing a soft fluffy towel he ran it over his body and wrapped it around himself.

Standing in front of the mirror he looked at what he had chosen to wear, white shoes, light blue denim jeans and blood red cotton knit sweater. He smiled and walked over to his dresser, pulling out the heavy silver cross his grandmother had given him when he was younger, Before she died.

Slipping it around his neck he did the clasp up and hide it under his sweater, he turned and looked around the room he called home now, he had gotten in touch with student exchange when he knew he had to leave New Zealand, they had placed him with a family who he would fit in with, they seemed nice enough, both the sons had already moved out of home, gone off to UC Sunnydale. He didn’t see Mr and Mrs Mayer at all, they worked long hours and Mr Mayer was always seemingly out of town on business. The phone rang in his room and he picked it up, he had his own line which was kinda cool, meant more privacy for him.

“Hi Bray speaking..” He pretty much knew it would be Buffy, she was the only one who would call him on this line, the only person who had his number anyway. He was surprised when a British accent spoke up on the other end.
“Good evening Master Croft” the stuffy accent gave away a proud attitude, someone who oozed with pride and self gain in mind.
“yeah? That’s me.. who’s asking?” Bray frowned and looked at the caller ID. Blocked number..
“My names Travers” the British man said as he paused

“Quentin Travers......"
