Chapter 37!

During the movie I couldn't keep my mind off of Angel. Could he be in love with me but just be like me and not want to admit it? Or am I just delirious? I don't want to make a fool out of myself but I don't want to pass up a chance just because I was scared. I just keep thinking that maybe the same thoughts are going through his head. I know I said I could use Ford but the more I think about it the more I think it's a bad idea. I mean Ford's a good guy. I'd be a fool to pass him up when there is a HUGE possibility Angel doesn't like me. Most likely he doesn't. I mean it's Angel. He couldn't possibly. I think Jen and them were just making it up.

After the movie we all stayed up for a bit and talked and laughed.

"Hey let's go down to the Drip" Jen said. It was about 3:00 in the morning.

"I don't know it's kind of late." I said

"oh don't be a party poop Buffy. Ford's probably there anyway." Kimberly grinned.

"well ok." I sighed.

We got dressed and headed out to the Drip. The Drip was a popular club downtown.

We walked in and music was everywhere. I could feel the floor shaking, it was so loud.

"Hey Buffy!" I heard someone yell my name. I turned around and there was Spike.

"Spike what are you doing here?"

"Came here with Peaches." he yelled back over the music. "He didn't want to come alone." Spike answered my silent question. Spike went off his own way and left all four of us. I looked around and saw Ford with his friends at a table.

"Hey Ford." I kissed his cheek and sat on his lap. I looked around at his friends to see who was here and there sat Angel. "Angel what are you doing here?" I asked him.

He shrugged "It was to early to go to bed on a Saturday night so I decided to come here."

I nodded and turned my head back to Ford and started to kiss him intently.

"You want a drink?" Jakob, a friend of Fords asked me.

"Does it have alcohol in it?" I asked.

"Of course it does." Jakob laughed. I don't even know how they got it since all of us were underage but I didn't really care. I took it. I glanced at Angel who grinned and took a drink out of his own glass.

Later on that night we were all drunk. I don't know how drunk but still drunk. Some of Ford' friends scattered but some stayed. All the rest I remember was sitting on a couch and making out with Ford for a long time. I think Angel was making out with some girl too. I'm not sure who it was though. That night I remember it was the first night I let some guy get this far with me. Fords hands were cold and going up and down my back, now I've let guys do that before but Ford went up my front of my shirt. I felt him cup my breasts through my bra. I may have been drunk but I stopped him from even going near the top of my pants.

It was about 8:00 in the morning when we all stumbled out of the club.

"You going to drive?" Ford asked Angel.

"Nahh let's walk." he said and walked away a little bit crooked.

We were all laughing so hard that my stomach hurt. "Oh sorry." I said as I hit a pole.

We all stumbled a bit into my house. Thank god my dad wasn't home. We walked into the living room and stood around for a minute until we heard a thud. We all turned around to see Jen on the floor.

"Well there goes Jen." I said and everyone looked at me and broke out into laughter.

Pretty soon we were all spread out in my living room sleeping.

The next morning I woke up in Fords arms on the couch. I saw Kimberly and Casandra on the floor and Angle was leaning against the couch.I looked around for Jen and saw her on the floor by the door. Jakob and another guy named Kris were here too. I flung my feet around and noticed I hit something.

"Oww." I heard Angel groan.

"Oh sorry Angel I forgot you were there."

Angel mumbled something then I heard him ask "What time is it."

"Uhh 3:00 in the afternoon." I said rubbing my head then heading towards the kitchen. I saw Angel get up and follow me.

"I better be heading back to Sunnydale pretty soon." Angel said.

"Oh yeah tomorrow's Monday isn't it?" I groaned. "And Cordelia will be wondering where you're at if you don't show up."

"Oh I told her I had to go somewhere for my Aunt's birthday so I'm all covered for a bit." Angel grinned.

"You better hope she doesn't find out about that girl you were with last night." I laughed.

"She won't unless someone runs her mouth." Angel looked at me and I grinned. "And anyway I didn't do anything with her."

"I can't run my mouth anyway, I'm all the way in L.A."

"Well that's what I wanted to talk to you about while I was here in L.A." Angel said.

"I knew you didn't come here just to visit me, you wanted something." I laughed.

"Yeah, I wanted you." Angel said. I looked at him funny. "That came out wrong didn't it?" he laughed

"yeah just a bit." I grinned back at him.

"What I meant was I want you to come back home."

He wants me back? I can't believe he came all the way to try and get me to come home!

"You want me to come home? I thought you'd be happy I left." I joked

"nahh I have no one to be mean to. I don't think Cordelia can take much more." Angel laughed. "So will you?"

"Angel I don't even know if my mom will let me come back." I said.

"She doesn't need to know and your mom and dad don't talk so you don't have to worry about that." Angel said.

"I see your point but even so I can't leave Ford."I said.

"His dad has a house in Sunnydale just ask him to transfer there."

"I'll see. No promises, but I'll see." I said. I really hope I can. I mean Angel wants me back. Wants! Woah I really need to calm down. He doesn't like me. I told myself.

"Why do you want me back?" I asked Angel.

He looked at me totally serious. "Well I miss you and lately I've been thinking that maybe me and you-"

"Buffy there you are, everybody just left." Ford walked in cutting Angel off. What was he going to say! Dammit Ford! Now I'll never know.

"What's up?" Ford asked me.

"My mom wants me to come home." I lied to him. I saw Angel glance at me.

"What?" Ford asked

"She said that I could come home now and I think I want to." I said.

"Oh well this is...unexpected."

"But I figured since your dad owned that house maybe you could come?" I asked. I still wanted to be with him. He's a nice guy and I don't want to lose him specially if I'm going back to my old school.

Ford nodded. "Yeah I can probably. I'll have to confirm it with my dad though."

I smiled and kissed him on the mouth. "Great." I mumbled. "When are we leaving?" I turned to Angel.

"Today." he said.

"Today! I still have to pack and everything!" I started to panick.

"Well start packing." Angel said. I gave Ford a look

"I better go talk to my dad about it." Ford said and left.

"You lied." Angel grinned at me as soon as Ford was gone;

"Shut up Angel. I had to because I don't think he would have left if I didn't need to."

"He's your boyfriend he should be able to make arrangements."

"Angel it's changing schools. That's a pretty big arrangement to be asking."

"I mean anything. He should be prepared to change a bit. If not then you shouldn't be dating him." Angel said.

He sounds like he wants me to brake up with him. I smiled up at him. Maybe he does.

"What?" he asked when he noticed me smiling at him.

"That's a pretty lame excuse." I said and walked out. Maybe if I mess around with him he'll let something slip and give me some kind of clue of his feelings.

Angel followed me over to the phone. "What's a pretty lame excuse?" he asked. Guess he's not going to say anything.

"nothing." I sighed. Maybe he really doesn't like me and it's all in my head. I let out another sigh and dialed my dads phone number. He, of course was ok with me heading back home. I'm pretty sure he was even happy about me leaving. He said he'd make up all the arrangements of me transfering again.

Spike had come over when he noticed Angel was gone from the hotel and all his stuff was gone. Spike said he about had a heart attack thinking that Angel left without him. I thought that was pretty funny. I called all of my L.A. friends and talked to them while I was packing. Angel and Spike were downstairs watching tv. Ford called me and said that he was coming to Sunnydale. I was excited about this. I'm glad I have Ford now. He wasn't coming until Thursday though. My mom also called me because my dad had called her. She was a little upset about me leaving on her punishement but apparently my mom and dad got in a fight and my dad actually didn't want me with him anymore anyway. So me and Angel are free to be as mean to each other at school as we like. My mom said she'd do something if we acted up again but she really didn't have anything on us so we were basically free.

It was about 5:00 when I was all ready to go. I was really tired since I didn't get a lot of sleep last night. I could tell Angel and Spike were also tired.

I slept a lot in the car except when we stopped at Hardees and everytime I had to go to the bathroom. Spike slept a lot too. It was about 11:00 at night when we dropped Spike off at home.

"Do we have to go to school tomorrow?" I asked once we walked inside.

"Ahh I wish we didn't cause I am so tired." Angel yawned and headed towards the couch. I followed him. "I'm going to sleep on the couch tonight. I'm to tired to go upstairs." Angel mumbled and collapsed on the couch.

"Can I sleep with you?" I asked him. I was really to tired to go upstairs either. Angel nodded his head and I got on the couch right next to him. I felt his arms go around me. I loved nights like this. See how he confuses me! I don't understand him, I think he likes me but then I think he doesn't. I have a feeling in the pit of my stomach that he doesn't I think we're just really good friends and that's all we'll ever be. Well to him anyway, it'll always be different for me. I closed my eyes and quickly fell asleep after that.

Angel woke up with him on his back and me laying across him on my stomach. I wasn't awake yet. Angel smiled at me. She's so cute when she's sleeping. I wish every morning could be like this. I'm just so glad she's home. I don't know how I could have been without her for 2 whole weeks!

I stirred a little. I felt someone stroking my hair. Finally I opened my eyes. "Morning." I mumbled.

"Morning." Angel mumbled back still stroking my hair. He had this look in his eye that I've never seen before or maybe just never noticed. I felt all warm when I looked into his eyes, they just had a warm feeling. I squirmed just a bit. Then I noticed how we were laying. Now any other guy I would have been off them in a second but I feel so safe with Angel that I don't care. I sighed and laid my head on his chest.

"What time is it?" I mumbled.

"6:30." he mumbled back still stroking my hair and running it through his fingers. I loved it when he did that.

"Ahh about time to get up isn't it?" I looked back up at him. I took a deep breathe and got up silently. "I better get in the shower." I smiled at him.

"Yeah I better too."

"Don't take up all the hot water." I grinned and ran upstairs.

Once me and Angel were all ready we headed to school. I'm really glad I'm back. I didn't realize how much I missed it.

Once I got there everyone gave me a big hug. Especially Willow. I saw Cordelia glare at me a bit though. Bitch. I thought to myself.

"I can't believe you're back!" Willow hugged me again.

"Yeah, I'm glad I'm back." I smiled. "Well I better go check in or Mr. Snyder will get on my ass already." I said and made my way back to the counter.

I groaned as I remembered I had Science first. I hated science. Not as much as History but I still hated it.

"Buffy." I heard a voice call to me. I turned around to see Riley walking towards me.

"Oh hey Riley." I said.

"Glad your back." he smiled.

"Yeah so am I." I was trying to be nice to him but I noticed it was getting harder and harder.

"So how have you been?" he asked. I knew he wanted something. Just the tone in his voice.

"Just tell me what you want Riley and get out of my face." I said

"Look I know we've had some complications in the past but I was wondering if you'd want to go out with me again sometime." Riley asked a little quickly.

"Riley of all the nerve! After what you did and you think I'd go out with you? Go to hell." I said and walked away. I didn't see Riley glaring at me from the back.

Beside the whole Riley thing science went by pretty smoothly. Next was P.E. I wonder what we're doing. I went out and sat on the bleachers next to Amanda and her friends. I know what she did with Cordelia at the Bronze to me but for some reason I still liked her.

"Do you know what we're doing?" I whispered to her. She shrugged.

"Miss Summers!" Mr Clarkson yelled. "I was going to be nice and let you pick your own partners but since you're so chatty today I'll pick your partner for you." Mr Clarkson looked around and then grinned. "Angelus will you please come down here." I heard some people giggle from the stands and I heard some gasps. I wasn't listening so I had no clue what we were doing. "Buffy you come down here to please."

I made my way down the bleachers and stood next to Angel who was standing next to Mr. Clarkson.

"Good job Buffy." Angel said to me. I looked at him confused.

"Now, I'm going to have these two demonstrate how it's done. Buffy will you please get on the floor." Mr Clarkson asked. I still heard people whispering and giggling. I cautiously laid on the floor not totally sure what we were doing. "Now Angelus will you neal beside her." Angel got on his knees right beside me.

I mouthed 'what are we doing' to him and he mouthed 'CPR' back. I sat strait up. "What!" I said a little to loud. Mr. Clarkson stopped talking for a minute and looked at us but rolled his eyes and kept talking.

"Now Angelus I need you to act as if Buffy were unconscious and tilt her head back and listen if she's breathing."

Angel tilted my head back and listened "I think she's breathing."

"Ok now if she weren't breathing you would pinch her nose and cover your mouth with hers." Mr Clarkson said.

Angel looked down at me. I was trying not to laugh. I could tell Angel was also having some difficulty. I heard people laughing from the bleachers.

"Angelus would you please sit on the other side of Buffy so we could all see." Mr. Clarkson said.

Angel moved to the other side. We were now visible to everyone.

"Ok now proceed Angelus." Mr. Clarkson grinned.

I was trying really hard not to laugh. Angel pinched my nose and I could tell he was a little hesitant to put his mouth on mine. I couldn't help it, I started to laugh just as Angel came down.

"Mr. Clarkson isn't she suppose to be unconscious?" Angel asked the teacher.

"Yes, now Buffy please." Mr. Clarkson said.

"Ok I'm sorry." I tried to calm down. Angel started to come down again but I heard him purposely make little noises before he came down. I started to laugh again. Angel looked at the teacher

"Mr. Clarkson." Angel looked at him like 'what in the hell am I suppose to do'.

"you two can sit down." he sighed and me and Angel got up.

"asshole." I mumbled to him. I could still hear people laughing at us. I just sat down next to Amanda again. I was still paired up with Angel later in the class but we didn't do anything all I did was sit while Angel was talking to the group next to us.

Pretty much the rest of the day went smoothly. Well aside from the applesauce that I slipped on in the cafeteria. I really hated Angel sometimes. Now I had applesauce on my ass.Oh well I splattered peas on his face later that day anyway. I guess everything was back to normal.

A/N: Sorry it took me a bit longer to update. So did you like this chapter? I know the Riley bit was stupid but I had it in there because I will be using Riley a bit later in the story. Don't worry no rape crap or anything like that. I know the CPR thing might also have been stupid but I just had CPR in my P.E. Class and I just thought it would be funny for Buffy and Angel. Don't ask why.lol. It just popped in my mind. For all you wanting some B/A...it's coming soon. So stick around and read! Don't forget to review either;) Thank you to all that have been reviewing!
