What You See
chapter 1
Buffy walked up the stairs of her new high school with a sigh. She couldn't believe what had happened to her in the last three months. Her mother and father's divorice was finalized, she found out she was the slayer, burnt down her old school gym, lost her watcher and had to move to a new town. Not to mention the fact that Pike her ex boyfriend cheated on her, got turned and she had to stake him. It was all really to much for her and now here she was in a new town at a new school where she didn't know anybody. Buffy sighed again as she headed towards the main buliding. She was suppose to meet someone named William to show her around. All she knew about him was that his father was the librian and that her mom knew his dad.
Buffy walked in the doors and almost litterly walked into someone. "Oh sorry." Buffy muttered quietly without looking up. "It's alright luv." Said a british accent that made Buffy's head snap up. "So I take it your Bunny." Buffy scowled at the guy infront of her already hating him. "It's Buffy." She snapped and Spike smirked. "Fine sorry Buffy my names Spike." He said extending his hand towards her. "That's nice but I'm suppose to be meeting someone." Buffy snipped as she walked past Spike. "Yeah that would be me." Buffy froze in mid step. "Can't be his name's William." Again Spike smirked and Buffy just wished she could smack it off his face. "It's me my name's William Giles but I go by Spike." Spike said once again extending his hand. Buffy rolled her eyes but shook his hand still.
The minute their hands touched they both felt a spark go through them and pulled away quickly. "So what's your uh first class?" Spike asked mentally kicking himself for sounding like a ponce. "Oh uh American Government." Buffy said thinking she sounded equally stupid. "Cool that's what I have but the teachers not that great so we better get to class before he sends us to tardy hall." Spike started to walk away and Buffy had to jog to catch up with him.
They got there just as the bell started to ring and recieved looks from Mr. Leavy but he didn't say anything. However the guy that came in behind them wasn't so lucky. "Already starting out late Mr. Harris." Mr. Leavy said as the boy slunk to his seat. "Nice one whelp." Spike said as the late boy approched. "Shut up bleach boy." Xander said and Spike smiled. "Would you two stop it." The red head on the other side of Spike said giving Spike a playful smack. "Why would I do that red?" Spike smirked at the red head which sent a wave of jealously through Buffy. Buffy looked up and shook her head. She wasn't jealous. She couldn't stand Spike. She told herself over and over again. "Will you ever call me Willow?" The redhead asked and Spike just shook his head. "Not bloody likely." This made Buffy roll her eyes. "Don't roll your eyes at me goldilocks." Spike directed at Buffy and Buffy just gave him a questioning look. "Yeah I was talking to you." Spike said at her look and Buffy just shook her head and ignored him.
"Hi I'm Buffy." Buffy said reaching across Spike's desk towards Willow. "I'm Willow and this is Xander Cordellia and Tara." Willow pointed out each individual as she said their names. "Hey." Buffy said to all of them. "Nice view luv." Spike said after a minute and Buffy quickly sat up. "Your a pig Spike." Buffy rolled her eyes sitting up and Spike just smirked. "You know you luv it baby." Buffy just shook her head. "Yeah let me tell you." Buffy said rolling her eyes. Spike just smirked and the rest of the group tried not to laugh to loud at the duo. "I knew you did." Buffy didn't say anything to that just got up to head to her next class which she had no idea where it was. "Oi wait up." Spike called from behind her.
"What do you have next?" SPike asked when he caught up to Buffy. "Uh English." Buffy scoffed she hated English. It was where she had met Pike two years ago. "Let me guess you have it too." Spike just smirked at her and nodded. Buffy just looked at him then turned and kept walking trying to hide her smile. Most the scoobies had the same class except Willow and Tara who had gym this period. Her next class was the same it seemed Spike was in all her classes and most of the others where there too. By lunch Buffy and Willow were best friends and there was a constent banter going on between Spike and Buffy.
"So are you two dating yet?" Cordy asked stopping all converstaions most in mid sentence. "What where did that come from?" Buffy asked after a few minutes of sitting in shock out of the question. "Well you two bicker like an old married couple so I just figured you were together." Cordy said absently like the topic was nothing new. Everyone was watching Spike and Buffy for their reaction meanwhile Spike and Buffy just stared at each other. They stared for a long moment before Buffy broke off eye contact. "No we're not together?" Buffy said but it was the tone of voice that caught Spike's attention. "Not yet anyway." Spike said as he pulled Buffy from the table. Buffy gave her new friends a weird look but followed Spike.
"Spike what's this..." Buffy started but was cut off by Spike crushing his lips to hers. When they pulled apart they both were breathing heavly. "God I wanted to do that since I saw you this morning." Buffy gave him a weird look. "I was wondering if you wanted to go out tonight?" Spike said looking away not sure why he all the sudden felt like a little kid asking for a cookie before dinner. Buffy smiled at him then her smile turned into a frown. "I would love to but I can't tonight. Tonight's the first night my mom's art gallary opens and I promised her I'd be there." Buffy said sounding disapointed. "Well how bout I go with you. I like art just don't tell nobody." Spike said and Buffy giggled. "You sure these things are normally boring and you have to dress up." Spike just smirked at her. "That's alright I don't mind. Besides if I get to be with you all night it can't be that bad." Buffy blushed and looked away. Spike gently tipped her head up and kissed her. "Pick me up at 7:30." Buffy panted when they pulled out of their kiss. "Sure luv." Spike said taking her hand and leading her back to the lunch room.
When they got back to the table they were still holding hands. "That's twenty bucks a piece." Cordy said holding out her hand and got sixty bucks placed in her hand. "What's going on?" Buffy laughed at the looks on the gangs face. "I bet them each twenty bucks that you'd be a couple when you came back." Cordy grinned and Buffy just laughed and shook her head. Spike just smirked at them all. "Sorry guy." Buffy said in between giggles. Willow and Tara just smiled at their new friend while Xander gave Spike a dirty look. "Sorry whelp." SPike said uncencerly. "Sure you are." Xander huffed getting up and dumping his tray. Buffy just looked at him as he went. "Don't mind Xander he's just upset that Spike can get who he wants so fast and the girl that Xander likes won't pay much attention to him." Willow explained. "Who does he like?" Buffy asked which got Cordy's attention. "Yeah who does he like?" This made Willow roll her eyes and Buffy then got it. "Oh and she doesn't like him back cuse it seems." Buffy trailed off at Willow nodding. "She does but they're both too stupid to realize it." WIllow said looking at Cordy. "What?" Cordy said clueless which made everyone at the table laugh. "What are we laughing at?" Xander asked as he got back to the table. "How cluessless you and the cheerleader are." Spike said which made everyone stop laughing. "Spike you shouldn't have said anything." Buffy scolded but Xander and Cordy weren't paying attention. In the next instant Cordy was in Xanders arms and they were making out. "Well isn't it the day of hookups." Willow said and they all laughed just as the bell rang. The rest of the day went by in a flash for Buffy with her new boyfriend in all her classes she didn't really pay attention. Spike offered to drive her home so he would know where to pick her up at tonight.
"See you in a few hours and remeber it's formal." Buffy said getting out of Spike's car after about a half hour make out session. "Alright luv see you soon." Spike said kissing her again then letting her go. Buffy watched Spike pull out of the driveway then raced inside to get ready.
