"Maybe they could make like a slayer record book," she smiled over at him hoping that he didn't think her sense of humor was that dry.
So how do you like school?
And here comes the question she was waiting for..
Sighing, Buffy looked ahead and then down at her feet. School had been rough since their move to Sunnydale.
"Oh you know, school is school." Looking over at him, she prayed she wouldn't have to go into a further explanation.
When she saw the look of encouragement still on his face, Buffy sighed again and tried to think of how to put it.
"School has just been... hard, you know? Ever since we moved here, it's been a constant struggle for me to maintain 'semi' good grades and still carry the weight of the world on my shoulders.." She drifted off, knowing that he knew exactly what she was saying.
Turning to him, she tried to manage a smile but didn't succeed very well.
