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.

I do love Principal Snynder. He's well named. He gets snider and snider every time he opens his mouth. Xander's more than a match for him though.

Nice drabble.

Hehe, good point. You know, I've never picked up on that name thing before. Glad you liked it.

Grrrr I hate Snyder. He should have got eaten by a pig. Mr Flutie was so nice...daft as a brush but nice.

Every high school needs an evil principal. And Flutie was way too nice to last too long at Sunnydale High.

YAY! Awww, I love Snyder. Best. Principal. Ever. Y'know, unless you actually had to his school.

(Oh, and “Is answering no a valid option?” - perfect early Buffy.)

Thanks! And yeah, although I enjoy Snyder as a character, I don't think I would have actually enjoyed having him as my principal.

Loved this. It isn't easy changing locations and moving characters in and out of the action during a story this short.

You've chosen details, and transition phrases that supply just the right information, and intimate the passage of time without any waste of words. A very handy talent for a writer.

Thanks so much! I'm really loving TSTOMKF so your praise really means a lot.

I adore Snyder, even though he's supposed to be a hated character. Really love this!

Glad you enjoyed this, and I'm happy to hear that there's a few of us out there that love Snyder. He's such a great character to play off Xander as well.
