Good Ol' High School (Xander/Open)

[Cordelia Chase]

Cordelia laughed as loud as she could and it even sounded fake to her own ears, but the other girls seemed to like it. Her face fell for a split second, knowing as always that these girls that she hung around with didn't even know the meaning of feelings or the real world. But since Cordelia had gotten involved with Buffy and her little friends, her eyes had been forced to open, to see that everything wasn't all about fashion, make-up and boys. Not that Cordelia would ever admit that out loud.

Cordelia stopped near her locker and gave her girls a huge smile. "I'll catch up in a sec." They waved to her and continued to gossip and giggle while Cordelia watched them sadly. She blamed Buffy for this... for making her think about the real world. But only to herself would she admit she was glad that Buffy could and was making this place safe.

With a dramatic sigh, Cordelia leant against her locker and closed her eyes, trying to block out the other drama she'd gotten herself into. That one problem was called Xander Harris.

[Xander Harris]

Xander walked down the hallway of Sunnydale High. He was skipping biology so he had nothing to do but scout the hallways. He stopped short when he caught sight of Cordelia, leaning against her locker. No doubt she's dreaming about me, he thought.

Xander has always had this un-natural attraction for Cordelia, and since they began 'dating', that attraction has just gotten that much stronger, and by dating he means quick make out sessions in between classes.

And that was what he was afraid of, that it would feel like that he was using her and that she would know this and break it off. He can't let that happen. He walked over to Cordelia, and leant on the lockers too.

"Hey Cordy, what's up?" He asked

[Cordelia Chase]

Cordelia jumped at the sudden sound of a voice. Her eyes snapped open then instantly narrowed at the sight of Xander. "Oh great, there's my perfect day ruined." She said to him in her usual sarcastic tone. However, her heartbeat did pick up a little and she knew it wasn't entirely because he scared her.

Cordelia remained where she was, not about to show that Xander was making her feel nervous. What if someone came out of a classroom and saw them together? Even talking to him would bring her popularity down a few notches. And there was no way that was going to happen. She looked past Xander, making a point of looking for someone. "What, you've unjoined yourself from your two little friends?"

After a pause, she looked at him in half defeat, half confidence. "Busy?"

[Xander Harris]

Xander laughed when Cordelia jumped, but that laughter aburtly when she said he ruined her day. "Don't be so mean, I couldn't have ruined it that much." He couldn't get over how paranoid she got when she was around him. It's like if they get caught together....Something bad will happen.

"No, my two little friends are in biology, that's where I'm supposed to be right now." "No, I'm obviously not busy, why?"

[Cordelia Chase]

"Ooh, skipping class... aren't you the bad boy." Cordelia laughed after saying this, proving she was mocking him. Being nasty and sarcastic was her way of coping with these new attractive feelings towards Xander. Also, she didn't want to be nice to him anyway, partly because it will bring on suspicion to her crowd and partly because she just plain didn't feel like it.

Looking at him with a look that said she was hinting, she continued, "Maybe we should check out some CLOSETS for any baddies? Like vacant CLOSETS where they can HIDE and not be SEEN... by anyone."

[Xander Harris]

"Oh I'm always bad" he said, trying his best to flirt. Since Cordelia was his first girlfriend since....Ever, he was in expeirenced when it came to flirting so he didn't know what he was really doing, and hopefully Cordelia didn't pick on that fact.

"Oh yeah closets! You may not know this but Giles has been lying to us all these years. The hellmouth isn't located beneth the library, instead its located under the janitors closet on the second floor. And since we're both doing nothing, we should definately go check it out."

Xander flashed her one of her award winning smiles, hoping that will make her melt. "After you."

[Cordelia Chase]

Cordelia huffed in embarrassment and rolled her eyes at Xander's attempt to sound... hot? It was obvious to her that Xander wasn't very good at this and deep down, she felt sorry for him. But, some little part of her was thrilled that he was her first girlfriend and another part found his act cute. Not that she would ever tell that to anyone who wanted to live.

"Giles, wrong? Ha, I always knew he wasn't that perfect." Cordelia had a satisfied smile on her face, but then she realised Xander was agreeing with her about the closet. When he smiled and said, "After you," she smiled back and walked off towards their favourite one.

She looked around nervously, looking to see if the hallway was still clear. When she saw it was, Cordelia walked in and turned around, waiting for Xander to follow her in. She still didn't know how all this had happened and what she felt about it all exactly.

[Xander Harris]

As Cordelia left to their favourite closet, Xander let out a sigh. He was nervous, even though they've done this a few times before, but he's never really believed that he was good enough for her.

He counted to five before following Cordelia. From a few feet behind he saw that she gave a few nervous glances around the place. He entered the closet, after double checking that his friends weren't around. He locked the door behind him.

He turned and walked up to her, kissing her hard and pushing her against the metal, wheeled shelf. They hit hard, hard enough that items fell off, including a jar that contained a green liquid. As the liquid was exposed to the air, a green light that looked like stink lines, circulated around the pair, until they inhaled it through their nose.

(I'll tell you about my idea on msn, and what they green liquid does)

[Cordelia Chase]

As Cordelia waited for Xander to join her, her mind kept screaming at her... asking what the hell she was doing. If they got caught... and one day it had to happen, Cordelia could kiss her popularity goodbye. Even though she wasn't enjoying the feeling of being popular and she'd come to realise how dumb the other girls in the group were, she would still rather be apart of them then someone like Xander.

She came out of her thoughts after hearing him finally come in and lock the door. Sighing in relief, she again realised she'd forgotten this one locked, which would lessen their chances of being found. Then Xander kissed her and Cordelia responded immediately, like always. She'd never, ever admit it, but Xander was actually a good kisser and he knew what he was doing... which shocked her.

Ignoring the painful bump that caused items to fall around them from a shelf they'd hit, she continued to make-out with Xander... until a sudden smell hit her. "Oh ew, what IS that?" Cordelia announced, pulling away from Xander and trying to block her nose.
