Snyder hated teenagers, especially one teenager in particular.

“Summers, my office,” he sneered as he walked by a smiling Buffy sitting in the midst of her obsequious friends. He made a point to glare at Harris.

“Mr. Snyder, sir, I hope you’re well on this beautiful day.” Harris yammered.

“Can it, Harris. If I wanted to waste my time, I can think of 100 other ways that would be less obnoxious than listening to your drivel.”

Snyder took a seat at his desk and turned his gaze towards Buffy.

“Random locker searches turn up interesting things,” he leered as he dropped a wooden stake on his desk. “Care to explain?”

“Is answering no a valid option?” Buffy smiled as wide as she could.

“That’s the best answer you could possibly give me,” he replied as he reached for the paperwork he needed to begin expulsion proceedings. Sometimes working with teenagers did have its rewards.

Oh Synder, you are definitely in the wrong career. Greatness. The voices were really spot on, Buffy's little joke in particular.

Thanks so much! I really do think the only part of his job that Snyder liked was disciplining students.

Expulsion proceedings - that’s probably why Snyder took the job. I liked Buffy's remark *grin*.

[boy-named-susie.livejournal.com]

Thanks! You're right - there are few things Snyder probably liked about his job, with expulsion proceedings being right at the top of the list.

Oh those were the best voices for Snyder and Buffy. He had such the wrong career.

[boy-named-susie.livejournal.com]

Thanks! It always makes me happy to hear that I've got the voices down.

Love the dialogue.

And nice use of the word "obsequious". ;)

[boy-named-susie.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much. The dialogue just seemed to flow for me when I wrote this. Glad you enjoyed it.

Pfft, I am not leaving you a comment because I think I already commented on your LJ and when you posted it on gen_storyteller. So nuts to you, canon girlfriend. NUTS. TO. YOU.

I'd just like to point out that in the process of saying "nuts to you," you did leave a comment, so there! It's not your fault though. You just can't help that you love me so much. LOL.
