Chapter one: Welcome to Sunnydale High
Sunnydale was so bright. Compared to England it blinded him. He didn't want to be there. His parents had finally had enough of his 'reckless' behaviour and sent him to his uncle's. Spike had been there for half a day and already his uncle Rupert had made him clear with the ground rules. No smoking in the house. No drinking full stop. And no partying during the week. Of course, the teen didn't take any notice because of the jet lag. Spike was in his room, finishing off his unpacking when there was a knock on the bedroom door.
"Come in, uncle Rupes," Spike called
A middle aged man, wearing glasses entered the room.
"I hope this is to your liking," his English accent commented
Spike shrugged.
"Yea, not England but..."
Rupert sighed. He understood how the boy felt but his behaviour had become problematic for his brother and his wife to handle. This was their only option.
"You know why you are here... Get some sleep. School starts tomorrow and you don't want to make a bad impression on your first day, William," he said as he left the room completely ignoring Spikes loud protest at the hated name.
The teen threw himself on the bed and groaned. Not only was he stuck in this country and he still had to go to school.
Sunnydale high. Home to the Razorbacks and the best cheer leading squad in the country. Or so Buffy Summers, the captain of the cheer leading squad thought. She had it all. Great friends, popular and her boyfriend was the star quarterback of the football team. Not to mention all the boys wanted to date her. A group of cheerleaders sat by the café on the opposite side of the road by the school. Cordelia Chase, Zoe Minnis and Harmony Kendall. They all jumped up in unison as the blonde approached them. Lip gloss shimmering.
"Buffy!" one of the brunettes shouted
"Zoe!" Buffy chirped, hugging one of her BFFL's
She hugged them all in turn and started discussing how much she missed Angel while he was in Ireland. Cordelia plastered on a fake look of interest at the blonde chattering about her boyfriend she always wanted him for herself and he had admitted that he wanted her too but the time wasn't right. But it soon would be.
"I'm so totally ready for this year," the long, blonde haired girl commented
Just as Buffy went to reply, two hands covered her eyes. Cordelia rolled her eyes at the scene.
"Guess who," a male voice called
The head cheer leader giggled as she was turned around and a pair of lips came smashing onto hers. Groans of "Get a room." were said.
"Lets leave these to it," Cordelia said, pulling the others across the road
"Cordelia!" one whined
"Harm, you know Riley is over there...With Anya," she pointed
"Where? OMG! Where?!" Harmony piped Zoe rolled her eyes.
"Just there, dumbo," Zoe said
As they disappeared off towards Riley and Anya.
"M, Angel...you made my friends leave," Buffy pouted
Angel set his girlfriend down on the ground and took her hand in his as they walked to school.
"I wanted you all to myself and besides I missed you, babe," he said, pinching her cheek.
Meanwhile, in the Principal's office. Spike sat arms folded, fiddling with the strap of his bag and nodding at everything this man said. Principal Synder flicked through his file. Fighting and being in trouble with the law seemed to be a regular.
"I can see your record is very colourful, Mr Giles but here at Sunnydale high, we do not tolerate abusive behaviour of any kind. You have three strikes,"
The principle grinned a evil glint in his eye.
"Then you're out, understand?" he said, in an annoying whining voice
"Yeah, I understand," Spike replied, with a shrug and roll of his eyes
"Bleedin' git," he mumbled under his breath
If Principal Synder heard he didn't say anything.
"Good. Send Liam in,"
Angel stepped into the office, took one look at the bleach blonde and had already made his mind up about him. Synder handed him a piece of paper.
"Here is your timetable and Liam, would you care to show William around the school?"
"'s Spike" said the blonde as he stared at the principle daring him to say anything
"right Liam would you show SPIKE around the school?" said Synder
"Certainly, Mr Synder," came the Irish/American reply
He gave Spike a smirk as they left the office. Angel pointed out where the toilets where and the cafeteria. He had to make sure he knew his place and that was under him. Stopping in the middle of the hallway, he spoke.
"I rule this school, so don't get any ideas of taking over, will ya, Willy?" he taunted
Spikes jaw clenched in anger using every bit of self control Spike ground out through clenched jaws.
"It's Spike, you poof. An' I couldn't care less if you were the soddin king. I don't take orders from anyone, specially you, tall dark and forehead,"
'Well, he has a mouth on him' thought Angel. As Spike went to walk away, Angel grabbed his leather clad shoulder, pulling the teen back towards him.
"You better or you'll regret it," he said as the bell rang and he walked off
'Stupid, bloody jocks. Thinking they rule the school. That idiot really made a mistake talking to me like that' Spike ranted quietly as he was storming the halls in a fury, trying to get to his lesson. All of a sudden, he bumped into someone, knocking them to the ground with an oomph. Make up landed everywhere. Spike looked at who he hit a cheerleader.
'Great' Spike thought 'just what I need' A dark haired girl, dressed in leather trousers and a black vest top watched in the shadows of the lockers as the scene unfolded before her eyes. Rolling his eyes at the sight of a blonde girl picking up her make up, Spike bent down to help only to have his hand slapped away.
"I can pick up my make up alone. Wouldn't wanna catch anything and how rude are you to go knocking people down!" Buffy spat, pulling herself up
That was it. Clenched jaw yet again as he let his temper got the better of him.
"Maybe if you weren't so bloody busy doin' your make up then I wouldn't of knocked you over, you stupid chit,"
She stuck her jaw out defiantly.
"EXCUSE ME! I am the head cheer leader and I demand respect off you...no, in fact don't even come anywhere near me you moron!"
Spike let out a low almost scary chuckle.
"As if I'd wanna be within five feet of a pathetic, self obsessed, snobby lil' brat like you," he combated with a smirk.
Buffy gasped and her mouth opened and closed like a fish as he walked off a little bit better he had vented on someone. Buffy scowled and made a personal promise to never, ever get on with him how DARE he talk to HER BUFFY SUMMERS like that. The girl pushed her self off the lockers and started to follow the bleached blond down the hall. Spike frowned as he turned to face the girl a cutting remark on the tip of his tongue but was cut to the chase by the girl.
"I saw the whole incident back there an I just gotta say I'm impressed that you stood up to Princess B. I'm Faith,"
Faith extended her hand and Spike shook it. Faith never really hated her but had a distinct dislike as she was a rocker and Buffy was a beauty queen or so she thought.
"Spike. Not that I care but her name is really Buffy?" he raised a brow a nod and a chuckle from Faith followed.
"Yeah. Lets take a look at that," said Faith as she grabbed the rumpled paper from his hand
"Looks like you're in my maths class. You wanna hang at lunch? You can meet my friends,"
After a moment, Spike replied confidence filled his voice.
"Sounds good, pet," with a smile and tilt of his head as Faith and Spike walked off to the first lesson of the day.
Finally the bell rang to signal it was lunch time. Buffy, Angel, Cordelia, Zoe, Harmony along with Riley and some other jocks sat at their usual table eating their lunch. Angel was all over Buffy as
usual, much to the annoyance of Cordelia. Zoe thought it was sweet she had found someone like that. Darla had joined them and the head cheer leader rolled her eyes when Faith and Spike walked in.
"OMG, not him again," she groaned
"Who?" her boyfriend asked
"Bleached wonder over there with little miss rocker wanna be,"
All heads turned towards him. Zoe and Darla smiled. Man, was he hot. Harmony's mouth dropped open. Angel furrowed his brows and Cordelia looked disgusted as she said
"Talk about tragic hair style. Who does he think he is, Billy Idol?"
"He's so hot...I bet he is good at giving orgasms," Anya commented, sitting down
"ANYA!" they all screeched
They scowled at them both as they walked past and Faith replied by sticking a finger up at them. As the brunette had predicted, one of the two males sitting at her table were staring at Anya Jenkins.
"Yo guys, this Spike," she said, taking her seat next to the red headed girl
He raised his hand in greeting.
"Howdy"
Faith pointed to them one at a time, introducing them to the new guy.
"That's Xander Harris, the redhead next to him is Willow Rosenburg. Next to her is Daniel Osborne but he goes by Oz, he is Willow's boyfriend and next to Oz is Chelsea Minnis. Her twin sister is a cheerleader,"
Chelsea rolled her eyes.
"Not identical, luckily,"
They all said hey. Oz simply nodding. He looked fairly tough. Willow was the first to speak.
"So, you're from England, rright?" she stuttered
"Correct, Red,"
Chelsea tutted.
"Well, that's obvious ain' it? Accent gave it away...and Xander, stop staring a hole in Anya's chest, it's creepy!" she exclaimed
Xander's head snapped round and he waved his hands in the air.
"I wasn't,"
Spike smirked as did everyone else. At least he had found a group of people who were cool.
As Buffy shoved her jacket into her bag she noticed the bleached freak walking over in her direction a smirk on his face. However, she was grateful for the dark sunglasses, which covered her eyes as she analysed the new guy. Everything about him screamed bad. The bleached hair. The filthy, leather
jacket that just touched the floor. The annoying 'I'm the big bad' swagger. That irritating smirk. But most of all his attitude towards others stank. Flinging her bag over her shoulder with a flick of the hair, Buffy held her head up high, smile on her face and started on the way home.
Buffy sighed. This was the best part of the day. School had finished and she could enjoy the sun as it beat down from the heavens onto her soft face. But as Buffy was enjoying her leisurely walk she could feel some one watching her with a slight turn of her body she saw, it was Spike, the new thorn in her side with a cigarette hanging limply from his mouth and back pack slung low on his back. Walking a little faster she grabbed her mobile and clutched it tightly in her hand. She would never admit it but Spike scared her a little. Five blocks later from the school Buffy dared another look behind her Spike was still about ten meters behind her. Buffy felt shivers running up and down
her spine Spike DEFFENENLY had a stalker vibe with the black clothing and leather duster. One more block to go then she was home as Buffy turned onto her street she saw Spike was still following her though the distance between them was a lot less he was only four or five meters behind her. Looking straight ahead, she counted the houses until hers.
Just five more to go. Buffy was getting scared now. Spike WAS stalking her she was sure of it. His movements were pure predator. But for the life of her, Buffy couldn't work out why he was stalking HER. As she passed the houses she counted four... three... two...one glancing over her shoulder, she saw Spike STILL there squaring her shoulders Buffy turned and faced him and yelled.
"WHY THE HELL ARE YOU FOLLOWING ME, SPIKE!"
Spike stared at Buffy for a moment and then he started to laugh.
"What the hell? I'm not bloody stalking you, you crazy chit I happen to live in this house for your information Barbie so untwist your knickers an' rack off, yeah"
Buffy frowned and muttered something under her breath as she headed to her house.
"Yeah, probably killed the owners..."
The punk just shook his head and chuckled to himself. Maybe living here in Sunnydale wouldn't be as bad as he thought. Now he had someone to wind up and hate.
