Xander scouted the halls of UC Sunnydale, looking for his friends. Ever since they started Collage and he didn't he was quite lonely and bored. So he came up with any excuse just to come here, like oh I lent Buffy 50 bucks, she owes me I should go get it off her right now, or Willow left her chemistry text book, I should take it to her. He wouldn't admit that he needed his friends. Without them, his life was unbalanced and they restored the balance, made him feel like he was actually worth something.
He stood by the door to a classroom, Professor Walsh was finishing a lecture about Behavioural Science, funny till now Xander didn't know that behaviour had anything to do with science.
He scanned the class, looking for Buffy and Willow but the bell went and they all shuffled around, he saw a red head in the distance, he waved and she looked up. It wasn't Willow. Dissapointment showed on his face.
Everyone piled out, there were only a few students left they weren't there. "I was expecting more from you Walter" Professor Walsh said as she handed a student a paper. "That's only worth a c minus, I'll tell you what. Do it over and make it better then hand it in again, ok?" The kid nodded his head and thanked her. "Where are they?" Xander mummbled to himself.

Willow walked out of her lesson, she'd wanted to ask her teacher something but he was in a foul mood today and she didn't really want to talk to him in this mood. She walked out the class and saw Xander there, she smiled awkwardly, they hadn't really spoke since she stormed out the Library the other day. She felt like she was letting them down but she was too scared to even try a simple spell.
"Hi" she said quietly.

"Hi" Willow said quietly.
Xander was facing the opposite way to Willow and he didn't notice her approach, he screamed when she said hi. He jumped and faced her, his hands ready incase he needs to fight.
He calmed down when he noticed that it was Willow, "oh hi Willow, that scream was just a test...you know? Well anyway hi!" He embraced her into a hug. "Where's Buffy?" He asked as he let her go.

Buffy was standing in front of her main teacher, getting yet another lecture about not doing the best she could on her assignments. Of course, Buffy just nodded and apologized... she couldn't exactly say she'd been slaying a lot more than often and saving people was more important then learning at the moment. However, her attention came away from her teacher at the sound of a scream. Her eyes widened and she hoped that girl wasn't in too much trouble. Buffy quickly told her teacher that she would indeed try harder and she had to run now. Before Miss Beatrice could reply or object, Buffy ran out of the room and in the direction of the scream.
"Hey, is everything..." She trailed off as she saw Willow and Xander in the hallway. "Oh hi Xander, hi Willow. Did you guys see the girl that just screamed... or has anything strange happened?" As she talked she looked around, now confused upon not seeing anything out of the ordinary.

Xander screamed once again as Buffy called out their names, "geez louise! Can everyone stop doing that" he demanded. He looked at Buffy and also pulled her into a hug. "Hey Buffy, how's it going?" Conversation always make the lonliness disappear.
He notice a group of people file into the caffeteria, it must be lunch time, good I'm starving. He followed after them and grabbed a tray and stacked it full of food. He turned to Buffy and Willow still in the hallway. "You guys coming?"

Buffy raised an eyebrow and lost her confused look, then started to laugh as she realised what had happened when Xander screamed... it sounded just like the one that she'd heard before. She then stopped as Xander hugged her but she was still smiling. It was good to see him happy.
"Everything's good, no horrible dilemma's just yet..." Buffy then followed Xander to the food when he called them along. As she picked up a tray and piled food onto it, she turned back to Xander. "What have you been up to lately?" She was genuinely concerned about Xander and the worst thing was she couldn't keep an eye on him here like she could at high school. She had to trust him to stay out of trouble.

willow laughed a little when Buffy referred to Xander's girly scream but other then that she stayed quiet, she still felt bad for running out on them the other day and she wasn't sure if they were mad at her or anything. Xander had hugged her but it was probably just an automatic thing for him right? She only picked up an apple and sandwich to eat, she wasn't really that hungry, she never was when she felt low about her magic. She let Buffy and Xander fill her silence for now.

Giles approaches the gang, looking a bit lost. "I didn't know this university was so big...I was told to go this way, but this way turned into many other ways...Who designed such a complex place?"
Giles shows a sigh of relief to havce found his friends. "Buffy I have been meaning to talk to you about your training...I think we should start again regularily. I know you have college, but this is your calling Buffy." Giles shows a stern look on his face towards Buffy.

Xander saw Giles approach, complaining about the design of the university. "That's university for ya" Xander mumbled with a mouthful of bread.
"Giles take a seat, try this spagetti its delicious" he said as he pushed it closer to him. Suddenly Xander heard a scream come from the hallway. He looked at Buffy and Willow, shocked. "That time, wasn't me". He got up and bolted into the hallway. Unsure if Buffy and the others were following.
His eyes grew bigger with shock, somehow there was a girl that was pinned up against the wall, with no support. She was there against the wall, stuck. Blood was coming out of a head wound and her neck had been broken, she was dead.
This wasn't the worse he death he has ever witnessed but it was horrifying.

On automatic piliot Willow followed the sound of the scream, the need to help people was still a strong burning desire within her, it was just the faith in herself to do so that was lacking. She almost screamed herself when she saw the girl dangling there dead, if he hadn't of seen worse then this before she probably would have.
"What the hell did that to her?" She said "That's Lisa, she was in my biology class, she wouldn't even dissect a frog!"

Buffy laughed when Giles came up to them, amused about how he'd gotten lost. She then sighed. "Training?" Buffy slightly whined but it wasn't serious and she knew Giles would know that. "Okay, I agree, it's time to get back into it."
She whipped her head in the direction of the scream, not even bothering to answer Xander. She raced after Xander and Willow when they ran towards it too. "Oh my god." Buffy's expression turned into one of disgust at the sight of the girl. She looked away from the scene and right then she was glad she hadn't just eaten. "We should have a look around... see if we can find anything..."

"Ok, we should look for something, but what?" He asked dumbfounded. "Maybe we should call the police". "Already done" a woman said as she ran away crying.
"Maybe we should go talk to some people first and ask what happend". He didn't wait for an answer. He went to a two crying girls, "hey, I'm Xander Harris im from the Criminal Investigative Unexplained Unatural Distaters" he lied flashing his wallet open and closing it just as quick.
"I never heard of it" one of the girls said. Xander had a feeling that she was the only one going to speak, the other one was crying to much. "You haven't, well that's a shame, we've been around longer then the FBI. Well I was wondering, do you know what happened here?"
"No I don't, I wasn't here when it happened, that's Lisa. We're in biology together, she left early cause she felt sick. Then when we came out here after class, we found her like this".
"Well, I'm sorry for your loss. I can tell that your friends"
"Oh no, we hated each other, frankly I think shes better off dead".
"Ok, well I got to go" he said, slightly creeped. "I think we have our first suspect" he said when he got back to Buffy.

Willow looked at the girl Xander had spoken to, "She hates everyone." She said simply, "But I guess we can't rule her out, although she doesn't look like she coud invisibly pin someone against a wall." She knew the girl from biology class as well, she was quiet but mean whenever she spoke and not the brightest student, she was, unfortunately, the stereotypical blonde, although Willow hated stereotyping in this case there wasn't much other option.

"And I didn't know that our teacher was giant preying mantis, so we can't rule anyone out" Xander sounded like a detective. "hey look at me, I'm sleuthing" Xander laughed
He looked at the girl, what a shame dying that young and in such a horrible way. She was beautiful, in a you know.... A dead kinda way. She looked like an intellegent girl, with probably straight A's in every subject. Unfair, Xander thought.
Police started to come in. A coroner was inspecting the girl, still agianst the wall, suddenly her eyes flew open, and her hand flew up to the medical examiner's neck. His head fell to the left broken, she dropped him to the floor. She pulled herself off the wall, her eyes were a sickly black. She pushed her head in place, and crack could be heard.
People began screaming and running in every direction. The police aimed their guns and began shooting. Each bullet just ricocheted off her body.
She began advancing on Xander and the others.
"Look out, Dead girl walking" Xander joked, with a nervous giggle. "Buffy" He turned to her, with a look that said 'save us'.

Buffy studied the girl that Xander had gone to talk to, hearing everything she said. When he returned to them looking slightly freaked out, she raised en eyebrow. "Okay, suspect number one. Good job, Xander."
She then turned to Willow. "Remember, we can't judge a book by it's cover... no matter how good the cover looks. She may look normal and nice, but like Xander said, that's what we thought our preying-mantis teacher was..."
Buffy was about to approach the girl named Lisa to have a look for anything they could use for clues, when she suddenly 'woke up'. As Buffy watched the scene before her, she was instantly glad she hadn't gone to inspect. She glanced at Xander when he said her name and she knew that look all too well...
She stood in front of Willow and Xander, sort of protecting them as the dead girl got closer to them. "Why can't you guys just stay dead instead of coming back all yucky looking and evil?"
