HOW TO BE A HEARTBREAKER
CHAPTER TWO
Spike stood, dumbfounded it was the first time a girl had ever resisted his charms. He felt deflated, but there was something about Buffy that made him want to try. As the band packed away, he'd been interrogating Oz about her.
"C'mon bleach boy... Buffy is way too smart to fall for your charms" Xander chimed in.
"Is that right?" He asked
"Well yeah it's gunna take more than a song to win her over" Xander told him
"And you would know right Xan?" Willow giggled
"No I wouldn't!" He lied
"So what you're saying here is I can't bag Buffy?" A mischievous grin slowly swept across his face "How about we make a small wager on that"
"What kind of wager?" Asked Xander
"I've got a week to get Buffy to go on a date with me, If I win I get that fancy Cadillac of yours" he smirked
"And if I win?" Xander asked
"I'll give you a thousand bucks"
"This is too easy! You're gunna give me a thousand dollars if you can't get one date with Buffy!... You're on!"
"Guys! You can't do this making a bet about dating Buffy it's totally wrong!" Willow scolded them.
"If she's as much of a heartbreaker as everybody says then it will be good for her to get her comeuppance" said Spike

Buffy stood at her locker, talking to one of the school's football players when Spike spotted her. He slicked his hair back and approached them, the jock must've made some sort of joke as Buffy laughed the fakest laugh Spike had heard.
"Hey cutie" Spike greeted her.
Buffy rolled her eyes "Spike..."
"I'll see you around Buffy" the jock said scurrying away, after Spike gave him a threatening look.
"Nice work genius!" Buffy scolded
"What did I do?" He asked innocently
"You scared him away!... He was supposed to be my date this weekend!" She whined
"I could always take you out" he suggested
"I'll pass" she rolled her eyes and opened her locker.
"Fair enough... Just a suggestion" he opened the locker next to hers
"What are you doing?" She asked
"Getting my book for history?" He said puzzled
"But that's nerdy Jonathan's locker..." She told him
"Not anymore, I made him trade me" he said with a smile
"Could you be anymore desperate?" She mumbled
"I could..." He grinned
"What is your game William Pratt?" She asked
"You'll have to find out" he smirked, walking away from her

Buffy and her friends sat in the cafeteria eating lunch, she had just finished telling them about Spike's locker switch and about his groupie from last night.
"Well I think it's cute!" Chirped Harmony
"It isn't cute Harm, it's disgusting" she argued, moving her food around her plate with her fork.
"C'mon Buffy don't tell me you're the least bit tempted" said Anya.
"Argh please... He would have to lose the platinum blond hair and his big dumb combat boots before I even considered him" she told the girls "I mean who wants a guy that spends more time colouring his hair than you? Am I right?" She giggled
Across the lunch room Spike sat with the rest of the band and Oz's girlfriend Willow.
"So Xander I heard that you got a B on that science test" Willow grinned "Should I be watching my occipital lobe?"
"Your what?" Asked Xander confused
"Occipital, the lobe in the back of your brain? You know, like, should I be watching my back? But, you know, the back of your brain" Willow explained
"Apparently not" Spike smirked chipping in on the conversation.
"Oh so you do like to have conversations, here I thought you were just gunna stare at Buffy all lunch" Xander teased him
Spike took one last look at Buffy, "No... I'm just trying to work her out" he sighed "it's proving harder than I thought, I'm usually so good at this"
"What do you mean?" Asked Willow
"Well usually I know what a girl is about around half an hour after meeting her..."
"Really?" She asked raising an eyebrow
"Well yeah... Red you're a smart girl, never put a foot out of line your whole life. But you've got a dark side a sort of sexy, dominant side. And if someone was to push you to your limit you'd let that side of you out" he smirked satisfied he'd made his point
"Well no that's not true... Is it Will?" Xander asked
Willow blushed "Of course not!" She protested shooting Spike a look
He sat smugly opening a can of soda "Anyway enough about Buffy... Rehearsals tonight? I got a few ideas and I was thinking maybe a new name?"
"What's wrong with 'Dingoes Ate My Baby?' It's cool" said Xander
Spike rolled his eyes "Well seeing as how the founding members have all split apart from Oz..."
"No it's a good idea" Oz told them
Spike pulled a face at Xander
"Well we can start brainstorming later at The Bronze?" Suggested Willow
"Yeah good idea" said Spike jumping up and bolting in the direction of the door that Buffy and her friends had just walked out of.
"Buffy wait up!" He called to her
"Will this ever end?" She whined stopping in her tracks
"Hello ladies" he greeted Harmony and Anya.
"Hey" they both said in a girlish giggle
"What do you want?" Asked Buffy
"Uh yeah I was wondering if you ladies were going to The Bronze tonight?"
"We could be persuaded" smiled Harmony
"Well you see" said Buffy silencing her friend "I have to wash my hair tonight sorry" she smiled weakly and ushered the girls away from the blond.
"Time to change tactics" he whispered "Harmony!"
Harmony stopped and turned around "Spike?"
"Do you wanna come to The Bronze with me tonight? The band is playing and I thought it'd be nice to have the hottest girl in school on my arm" he winked
"Uh yeah okay" she blushed
Buffy looked at him and rolled her eyes, "C'mon girls, we'll be late for class" she seethed
'Oh yeah, this plan was gunna work' he smiled to himself.

Buffy sat in Chemistry class looking out of the window, Spike sat studying her the way her hair shimmered golden tones in the sunlight. He cursed himself, the more he tried to figure her out the more he found he couldn't, she was a mystery and he liked that.
The school bell rang signifying the end of the school day, Harmony rushed over to his desk. "So what time are you picking me up?" She asked excitedly
"What? Oh yeah... Uh I'll be there at seven" he smiled standing beside her and giving her a chaste kiss on the cheek before leaving.
Buffy made out she was gagging.
"What's your problem?" Asked Harmony
"Oh nothing just if you wanna kiss that..."
"I think he's kinda hot" said Harmony
"Do I need to remind you who you are?" Buffy said sternly "You are Harmony Kendall one third of the unholy trinity that rules this school, you and Anya are seriously slipping"
"What's that supposed to mean?" Asked Harmony
"You guys are swooning over him like he's the big cheese... It's just- it's wrong"
"Why because he asked you first?" Asked Harmony
"No because... Well he's just not our type" she said finally
"He might not be yours, I mean who wants a guy that plays in a band, with killer abs and British accent?" Scoffed Harmony and walked away from her.
Buffy sighed and watched her leave, she couldn't put her finger on it but Spike had definitely got under her skin.
