Backfire - Spander Files

“So…what do you want to start with? The vampire-thing or the Cordelia-thing?”
“Um…you choose.”
“Okay…Cordelia?!”
“Ow! What’s with the hitting?”
“I’ve seen you around school. Since when did you start pawing the evil undead?
And I’m not talking about the vampire-thing, yet.”
“I’m sorry I didn’t tell you about it before.”
“How long has this been going on?”
“Um…about a month or so. We were keeping it a secret. Nobody knew. It took
awhile to admit it to ourselves, even.”
“So, what changed? And I’m still stuck on the whole ‘why?’ factor.”
“When it started, it was just kind of…hormonal. Don’t give me ick-face. I’m
seventeen. I’ve got hormones. And then the things that used to annoy me about her,
became things that I liked about her.”
“Vapid shrews get you off?”
“Well, yeah. That speak-her-mindness that she does…very hot. I never have to
worry about what she’s thinking. She doesn’t have any secrets. She wants
something, she tells me. It’s almost a brainless relationship. I need brainless at the
moment.”
“Well, I still don’t get it, and I don’t like it.”
“I’m not asking your permission, Wills.”
“You know, we used to not have any secrets from one other. We used to be best
friends. What happened?”
