I’m bored. I’m more than bored i’m... anyway, find a word that means ‘’more bored’’, I’m to lazy to do it . I’ve been watching the wall in front of my desk for the last forty-five minutes.That’s kinda pathetic. Oh! Crazy tacolady is coming from upstairs... reading a old musty book! ‘’ Hey Fred! What are you reading?’’ I can’t believe I want to know. See how bored I am?...Good, she doesn’t answer me...’’Fred?’’
‘’Oh you’re talking to me?’’ No, I’m talking to the little monkey behind you. ‘’ Well, it’s just a
a book about the theory of...where is Angel?’’ she asks, looking around. God, she looks like a little
girl who just lost her parents at the mall... ‘’ The guys are out, killing the demon from my last vision, they’ll be back soon’’ I hope so. I’d like to talk to someone who’s... well,sane. Plus, watching Angel squirm because Fred makes moon eyes at him? Always entertaining... even if I hate her when she does that... Not that i’m jeal-
‘’Good! It’s good, so i guess i’ll wait for hi...them then’’ she says blushing. She sits on a couch, watching the door... Good god, come back guys!
‘’We’re back!’’ Gunn, followed by Wes and Angel. Hmm... I want to be rich and famous...What? A girl has to try. ‘’Hi guys! how did it go?’’

Angel POV
‘’Hi guys! how did it go?’’
Well we fought a demon that looked like the little monster in Monster inc.... Yes, I saw that
movie, but Cordy made me watch it! Anyway, I felt kinda sorry for the poor little green thing... Until it started to atack my leg... or hop it, not sure.
‘’You missed something, girl! You should’ve seen Angel running around with that creepy little thing hoping his leg!’’ Gunn. Traitor. Oh great, now their all laughing at me! Except Fred. She still looking at me with that weird smile. I smile awkardly and I quickly look somewhere else... Cordy! Um, she’s still laughing, she’s even clutching her stomach. C’mon it’s not that funny... ‘’I’m right here, you know’’ I say, hurt.
‘’So-sorry... it’s just...’’ she says between giggle. It’s good to see her laugh, even if she laughs
at me. Since the ‘’vision incident’’ (thanks to Wolfram & Hart) she’s been kinda...Down.
She clears her throat ‘’Sorry’’ she says with a sheepish smile. I smile back at her, I can’t help it.
‘’Well, i think we should call it a night’’ Wesley yawns ‘’You want a lift?’’ he asks Cordelia.
‘’Sure, Goodnight guys!’’ she takes her coat and her purse and their gone. ‘’I’m leaving too!’’
Gunn exclaims, getting up from the counter ‘’Goodnight Fred... Angel?’’ I look up ‘’Watch
your leg’’ he smirks and walks out.
Did I ever tell you how much I hate this guy?

Cordy POV
It’s 9:30 am. I’m alone in the lobby and i’m bored... again. Angel is training in the basement and Fred is still Upstairs, Gunn won’t come in today and Wes has the flu... When I think about it, my life is a big, boring routine. Everyday, I wake up, I come here then I come back home and I sleep. Always. I love my job! I really do, but I so need to find a hobby... Hmm... Angel’s sketch pad is on the counter. ‘’Okay, let’s see... Demons... An old lady... A cat...’’ hey, I knew he was good, but that’s beautiful! ‘’ A garden... A woman...’’ Whoa! Is that me?... Nah... it can’t be... ‘’ A bridge...’’
Wait a sec! I can draw...maybe we could...
‘’Angel!’’ We could take some Art classes... Okay, it seems... Well, boring ( I REALLY need to find another word ) but I’m tired of demon goo... Plus, he can pay... ‘’ANGEL!!!’’

Angel POV
‘’ANGEL!!!’’ Geez! The woman is gonna give me a heart attack!... Not that i could have one, but.. *sigh* ... I put my sword down and start climbing the stairs. Okay, now I’m in the lobby and she’s looking at me with her ‘’I have to ask you something’’ face, never a good thing. I wonder what she wants this time, my money or my car? Place your bets.
‘’Yeah?’’ I ask, a little scared.
‘’I’ve been thinking...’’ Uh oh... ‘’...Things have been kinda dull lately...’’ It’s coming... ‘’...And I’d like to...’’ Do some shopping? I put my hand my pocket, protectively touching my wallet... ‘‘...Take some Art classes’’ she finish.
Uh?Hmm... Maybe my money wil stay where it belongs for once: In MY wallet.
‘’Art classes’’ I repeat.
‘’Yes, and I want want you to come with me’’ she responds in a tone that clearly doesn’t give me
a choice
‘’Um...’’ Maybe not a bad idea... being with Cordelia and all...
‘’Great!’’ she flashes me her 100 watt smile and walks out of the lobby... She comes back 5 seconds later ‘’Angel...’’ she says ‘’You’re paying, right?’’
I knew it!

Cordy POV
We are in Angel’s car. We’re on our way to our last class. We’ve drawn apples and bananas for like, 5 classes! Sooo inspiring... The teacher said we would have a new subject today, thank god!
‘’I wonder what’s the new subject’’ I say
‘’Probably apples, bananas and raisins’’ he responds with a little smile. I giggle. Poor Angel, I know he did’nt want to take those classes, but he did it, for me. That’s sweet.
Finally we arrive . Once everyone found a seat, the teacher starts talking ( I don’t like her, she’s been all over Angel since day one... not that i’m jeal-)’’Hello students, today is our last class together...’’ A few students start applauding. I snort, Angel is one of them. ‘’And i told you we would have something new today... Human form!’’ she smiles ’’Let’s welcome our new subject... Christian!’’ She exclaims as the ‘subject’ walks in...
Hello salty goodness!

Angel POV
’’Let’s welcome our new subject... Christian!’’ HOLY SHIT! She want us to draw a guy in a towel? Not that i care, but...Cordelia can’t draw this! I look at her. Great, her eyes are at least twice bigger and... Is she drooling?! I look back at ‘towel guy’... THE BASTARD TOOK IT OFF! Okay, that’s it! I grab Cordy’s arm.
‘’We have to go!’’
‘’What?Why?Get off me!’’ she whines, still looking at the ‘now very naked’ guy
‘’BE-CAU-SE’’ I respond, dragging her out of the class. Once we’re outside I let go of her arm and she turns around, facing me.
‘’What is your damn problem?!’’ She looks pissed. Well, so am I!
‘’Cordy, this... Exhibitionist was naked!’’ I state
‘’God! Prude much? The ‘exhibitionist’ was a model Angel! He was supposed to be naked!’’
Cordelia 1. Angel 0.
‘’Cordy...’’
‘’Don’t Cordy me! Now I’m going home, ‘cause there’s no way i’m going back in there after everybody saw you dragging me outside!’’ I sigh.
‘’Allright, I’ll take you...’’
‘’I’ll take a cab!’’ she says taking her cell phone.
‘’Cor...’’ she shot me a glare... I know that glare, it’s the one that tells me i really should shut the hell up...
‘’Allright then!’’ I say as I walk back to my car. Anyway, I know I acted reasonably...
Didn’t I?

Cordy POV
I’m home, and I’m pissed! What’s Angel’s problem? Like I never saw a naked men before...
Okay, just once... and it was dark, but still...
I tell Dennis what the dumbass did.
‘’What a Jackass! I didn’t know Angel was such a prude! Can you believe him Dennis One minutes he’s looks happy and the the next he freaks out...Pfff! Stupid vampire...’’
I sit on my couch, still talking to Dennis ‘’Dork or dark? So Hard to decide!’’ I say in a melodramatic voice.
Why did he... I mean, I would never... Allright, I already wanted to act like this with him... (‘cause of Darla or the Art teacher, for instance...) not that I was jealous or anything, just... protective. Anyway, I didn’t do anything back then ‘cause i knew he would’ve been pissed!
Does he think that because he’s handsome, charming, smart, caring and that any girl would be lucky to be with him and... good god the guy’s hot!
... Whoa... Where did that all come from?!
...
‘’Oh god...’’

Lorne POV
Kill.Me.Now. A Varsl’off demon is singing Cult of personnality and it’s just...Blaah!... Oh! Angel’s here! I hope is not here to sing, I had enough horror for the night, thank you very much. Hmm, he looks upset.
‘’Lorne can I talk to you for a second?’’ I nod and he sits at my table. ‘’It’s just... I have to talk to someone...’’
‘’Go ahead, pumpkin’’ I’m sure it’s cordy.
‘’Well it’s cordy...’’ told ya ‘’She’s mad at me...’’ again?
‘’ What did you do this time?’’ he looks at his hands.
‘’Well i kinda... draggedheroutofourArtclass...’’
‘’You what?!’’ Cordelia’s right. He’s a dork.
‘’There’s was a damn naked guy in the class!...’’
‘’A model?’’ I ask.
‘’Well...’’ dumbass.
‘’And you dragged her out because?...’’
‘’...’’ Oh god. She must be so pissed...
‘’You were jealous’’ I state
‘’Pffft!’’ He’s starting to sound like her! ‘’Why would I be? Cordy’s just a friend...’’
‘’Are you sure?’’ ...Good, now he’s looking at me like i’ve grown a third horn. I touch my forehead, just in case... ‘’Angel?’’ he blinks a couple of times...
‘’You know what... it’s late. I’m tired... Goodnight.’’ He gets up and walks out of the bar.
C’mon sweetie, get a clue!...

Angel POV
Lorne is a sick, sick demon. I mean c’mooon! Cordy? Yes, I care a about her, but love?
Yeah, right! I love... Erm... Oh... yeah, Buffy. The slayer. Yep, that’s it! Buffy!
I sit on my bed, remove my shoes and lie down. No, really, Cordelia is funny, smart, beautiful, Colorful... Well, you get the point! But she’s my closest friend and... My co-worker! You can’t fall in love with your co-worker, it’s not... wise...
I sigh. Ealier, I wasn’t jealous! I was... Protective and... I... I told you I... I love...

‘’Oh god...’’
Ends.
