Chapter One:
Meetings
Buffy was sitting on her roof, she didn't want to help unpack, she didn't want to do much of anything to do with this move. Her parents had divorced and instead of her cheating father moving away from them, they had to move away from him. She was angry, but not because she didn't like how it worked out for her, it was how it worked out for her sister and her mom, her sister was just starting high school and would be overwhelmed enough as it is, and her mom had to go job hunting so they could keep luxuries like food and clothing!
when they had arrived Buffy hadn't said a word, just chose a room, crawled out the window and sat down. She wanted to know if the new town would be a good one, from what she had seen it was nice enough, but you don't see much even from the roof of a house, there just wasn't that much to see.
"Interesting choice of seating." called someone from the ground, bringing Buffy out of her thoughts. She looked down to see an attractive man, probably about her age. He was tall, had bleached blond hair, and was wearing a long leather jacket.
"What's it to you?" she called back
"Nothing, just coming to see who moved in." he called
"Well then there's me, my mom, and my sister." Buffy told him
"What about you're dad?" he asked
Buffy didn't answer, just looked away and tried not to look hurt.
he noticed that she hadn't said anything so he thought it probably wasn't the best idea to mention her father. "I'm sorry, did I say something I shouldn't have?" she just nodded and wouldn't look at him.
when she didn't answer he climbed up the tree next to the house and joined her on the roof. "I'm really sorry if I said something that upset you, I didn't mean to." he apologized sincerely
"My parents divorced a little while ago, my dad apparently thought his secretary was a very nice person." Buffy explained
"What an idiot." he mumbled
Buffy chuckled at that and turned to look at him. "And to top it off, we're the ones who had to move." Buffy said
"What's wrong with the bloody wanker!" he exclaimed
"You're asking the wrong girl." Buffy mumbled
"What's you name?" he asked
"Don't laugh, my name is Buffy." she said
"Why would I laugh, I think it's cute." he said
"Thanks. What's your name?" asked Buffy
"Well my name is William, but I prefer Spike." he said
"Spike, why Spike?" Buffy asked
"It's my nickname, I think it sounds better than William." Spike explained
"I like William." Buffy mumbled
"Really? I think it makes me sound like a ponce." said Spike
Buffy giggled, she loved those british words, they were so cute.
"What?" he asked
"Nothing, just those words like, ponce and wanker, it's so cute." Buffy said, smiling for the first time in a while
"Oi! I'm not cute!" Spike exclaimed good-naturedly
"Yes you are, you are very cute." she said, mostly to annoy him
"Am not!" he teased, playing along
"Are too!" Buffy shot back, then they both dissolved in laughter
"You're funny." Spike said, once the laughter died down
"You know, the laughing clued me into that." Buffy said
"Buffy!" her sister called from inside the house
"I'm out here!" Buffy called back, and soon a slim brunet girl joined the two blondes
"And who is this?" her sister asked, smiling wickedly
"Dawn, this is Spike, Spike this is Dawn, my sister." Buffy introduced them
"What kind of name is Spike?" Dawn asked
"It's just a nickname, my real name is William, but I like Spike better." he told her
"Got it." Dawn said
"So, are you guys going to Sunnydale High?" Spike asked
"As far as I know." Buffy answered
"Well good, that's where I go. I can show you around when school starts, if you want." he offered
"Thanks." Buffy said
"I should probably get home, they will start looking for me if I don't go soon." Spike said as he started to climb back down the tree
"OK, bye." Buffy said
