Someone Better Than You: Changes
by BloodThirstyGoddess
Chapter One
2 days before classes begin...
It was raining outside and according to Fox Weather the New York City area could expect a thunderstorm later that night. But this morning, it wasn’t the storm that had Buffy worried. She would be meeting her new roommate today. Buffy had moved in yesterday morning and was already mostly unpacked and organized.
She had needed to get out of her house. 1630 Revello Drive held too many bad memories. Especially those memories of the last couple of months she had spent there when Angel had never even called her. They hadn’t even spoken since the spilt. It was the hardest time in Buffy’s life. She had been all-alone, which made becoming close to her roommate all the more important.
Buffy was starting a new life now, and was about to make a bunch of new friends. Speaking of which, Buffy was wondering just how long it would be until this girl came.
“Any second now.” Buffy told herself out loud.
As if on cue, the front door opened. A red-haired women with what Buffy decided was a kind face, walked in the dorm room carrying a box under her left arm. She set the box down and walked over to Buffy with an outstretched hand.
“Hi! I’m Willow Rosenberg. Are you Buffy?”
Surprised by Willow’s peppy and overexcited attitude, Buffy nodded her head.
“Yep. I’m Buffy Summers. It’s nice to meet you.”
“Oh, you too!” came the tremendously overexcited reply.
Behind Willow, two guys came stumbling in each carrying two huge boxes.
“Where do you want these, Wills?” the taller of the two men asked.
“Just set them down there for now. Thanks.”
The two men set the boxes down and then finally acknowledged Buffy’s presence.
“Hey. Are you Willow’s roommate?” the taller man asked.
“Yeah. My name’s Buffy.”
“Oh, hi Buff. Cool name. I’m Xander. This is Oz. We’re Willow’s friends. Well, actually, Oz is her boyfriend, but we’re all friends here, right, Buff?” ‘Damn, she’s hot’ Xander thought in his crazy head.
“Sure. And ‘Hi’ Oz.”
“Hey. I’d do the whole protective boyfriend thing to make sure you’re not a murder or a thief or anything, but you look safe.”
“Thanks.” Was all Buffy could say. But she sure as HELL was thinking what an interesting year it was going to be. Well, at least these strange people were nice, that’s something right? Nice, just a bit crazy; yeah, that’s what she’d continue to remind herself of. Never the less, she needed a mall trip, she decided, it couldn’t hurt to get some more new clothes for college.
Buffy knew it was weird, but she thought that new clothes would help her forget about Angel. It was almost like being a different person, a person who had never met Angel. So, yeah, it was strange, but a mall trip was perfect. Buffy decided she would ask Willow now that her friends had just left.
“So, Willow. I was wondering if you would like to go to the mall with me.”
Oh, now Willow was excited. She had been a little worried that her roommate would think she was a total dork, but this girl seemed to be nice. Plus, she didn’t get to the mall often with having guys for her best friends.
“Sure. I’d love to. Just give me a few to put some stuff away.”
There were only two days left until classes began and now that William and Drusilla had unpacked and set up their new apartment, he had one big thing left to do.
He was going to change. Not only his clothing, but his life. Which was a bit more than Drusilla had initially expected, but then again, things could turn out for the better; or not of course, couldn’t forget that though.
William wanted a new image for himself. No longer was he to be shy and stuffy like the rest of England; nope, he was going to be a bad ass, though he knew the extreme help of his darling Drusilla was going to be needed.
William decided to start with the mall, though he would also need to do something about his hair he knew. Luckily, Dru had already made him a hair appointment so that was taken care of. Later that afternoon, William and Dru would head out to the mall to transform him into a man that William knew would scare the shit out his father. And William couldn’t be happier.
