After cheerleading practice the girls would sit on the bleachers and wait
for the boys to finish football practice. Buffy couldn't help but watch the
graceful movements of the new quarterback.
"Man he is hot!" Buffy said out loud
"Who are you talking about?" Her best friend Willow asked.
"The new boy, Liam of course" Buffy answered softly
"Oh you think he's cute too?" the newest addition to the cheerleading squad asked.
"Yes I do Cordelia, and I couldn't help but notice you talking to him all through math class.
"Oh my gosh, your in my math class?" Cordelia asked Buffy "I didn't even notice I was too caught up with Liam"
"yah I noticed" Buffy mumbled
"Well he wasn't too caught up in me, he was to busy looking at you to notice me." Cordelia answered
"What do you mean he was looking at me?" Buffy asked excitedly
"Well as we were leaving class he asked me if I knew who you were" Cordelia said " of course that was before I knew you were the captin of the cheerleading squad, so I told him I didn't, sorry"
"Interesting" Buffy said. Maybe Cordelia wasn't so bad after all she thought to herself. So he's asking around about me, that is a very good sign.
"Good practice guys." Coach Dan said. "Before you go I want you all to meet our new quarterback, Liam O'Connor, I hope you guys will make him feel comfortable. Go home now, practice is over."
Finally! Liam thought to himself. Now he just needed to take a quick shower and then he was going to meet the girl of his dreams.
Liam, Gunn, Xander and a couple of other guys from the team walked toward the bleachers where the girls were waiting.
"Liam this is Buffy, Willow, Faith, Anya and I'm not sure what this beautiful girls name is." Gunn said pointing to Cordelia as he made his way over to her to introduce himself.
"Hi Liam" the girls said in unison.
"So let's figure out whos riding with who" Xander spoke up. "Who drove?"
Willow, Gunn, and Liam raised their hand.
"Great I'll ride with my girl" Xander said as he put his arm around Willow. "Some of the girls can ride with us, Gunn you take the guys, and ahh Buffy, you know how to get to the Bronze so you ride with Liam and show him where to go, everyone ok with that?"
"I want to ride with Gunn, is that ok?" Cordelia asked smiling up at him.
"Sure, we have lots of room." Gunn said
"Great then, we'll see you all there" Xander said as he, Willow, Faith, and Anya walked towards Willow's car.
Willow looked back to see her best friend and the handsome knew guy walking towards a Jeep Grand Cherokee. She smiled to herself and grabbed Xander's hand as they walked towards her own car.
"Sooo" Buffy trailed off as she tried to think of something to say. She was never this nervous around guys, but then again she had never met a guy like Liam.
"So" he cut in "what grade are you in?"
"I'm a junior, what about you?" Buffy asked
"I'm a junior too." He answered as he searched his mind for something else to ask. "How long have you lived in L.A?
"All my life, I love it here" She said. "What about you? How long did you live in Ireland?"
"All my life, but we traveled a lot, mostly around Europe but we came to the states a couple of times too." Liam said.
"That's cool, how come you speak such good English if you lived their all your life?" Buffy asked. Oh God, she thought, I hope they don't speak English in Ireland, I'll look so stupid.
"My dad wanted my sister's and I to me multi-lingual. So we all speak several languages but I always loved America so I wanted to learn how to speak English a lot." Liam answered. Great, she's going to think I'm a geek who just likes to study he thought.
The ride over to the Bronze went much better. They got to know each other a little more which just added to their attraction for each other.
When they walked in everyone was already seated and they turned to stare at the two as they walked in. Obviously they had been talking about the Buffy, Liam romance. They shut up as the two got closer to the table.
"hey guys!" Buffy said a little too loudly "Can you move over so we can sit." She said to Willow.
It was a tight squeeze but Buffy and Liam managed to fit on the small couch already occupied by Xander and Willow, although Buffy was partly sitting on Liam's lap.
Just then a tall broad shouldered man with sandy brown hair walked into the club. As soon as Buffy spotted him she ran over and gave him a great big hug.
Liam heard her call the guy Riley as she gave him a kiss on the cheek.
He turned to Xander with anger flashing in his eyes. "I thought you said she didn't have a boyfriend?" Liam asked obviously upset.
"Man he is hot!" Buffy said out loud
"Who are you talking about?" Her best friend Willow asked.
"The new boy, Liam of course" Buffy answered softly
