The month has been so great. Buffy thought to herself as she lay on her bed
deciding what she wanted to write in her journal. She and Liam had
officially become a couple three weeks ago when he had asked her to wear
his lettermans jacket. Although they had know each other for only a short
time they both knew that their relationship was going to last a long time,
if not forever.
The two had already become the school's "cutest couple", and they were supposed to take pictures together for the yearbook that afternoon. Everyone around them knew that the couple loved each other very much. Buffy and Liam knew they loved each other also, but neither had vocalized it just yet.
Buffy's parents loved Liam and Liam's parents loved Buffy but they both felt that the two teenagers were moving a little too fast in their relationship. They had even tried getting the two to separate for while but Buffy and Liam wouldn't hear of it. Surprisingly, Riley was also on their side. He could see how happy Liam made his sister and he didn't want to take that away from her.
"Buffy! Telephone, I think it's Liam" her mother called up to her.
"Ok mom, thanks" Buffy yelled down as she picked up the phone in her room. "Hello" Buffy said into the phone.
"Hey baby, are you almost ready for school?" Liam's sexy voice drifted over the phone.
"yup" she answered "just finishing up writing in my journal."
"Anything about me?" he asked
"Baby, everything is about you." Buffy said seductively, "Anyway, are you leaving your house now?"
"Yah, I'll be there in a few minutes." He said "by love"
"By my Angel" Buffy said. She had started calling him that after their second date, a lot of the guys teased him about it but he didn't care, what ever Buffy wanted, Buffy got.
"Hey Buffy, Hey ANGEL" Xander said laughing as the two walked up to the group. They were already spread out on the front lawn where they usually hung out before class.
"So how's the happy couple?" Willow asked as she kissed Xander on the cheek. "Don't worry about him Liam, he's just jealous that I don't have a cute pet name for him."
"I am not, my red hot tamale" Xander said as he poked Willow in the side making her laugh even more.
"So you guys ready for the big game tonight?" Faith asked the guys
"We sure are, what about you girls? Are you guys going to be doing any new cheers about me?" Gunn asked
"Well maybe if you played we would think of some for you." Cordelia said jokingly. Everyone knew that Gunn was one of the best wide receivers in the state and that he already had college scouts looking at him even though he was only a junior.
"Well actually B and I made up a great cheer that we've been working on the past two weeks so be prepared" Faith said
"You made up a cheer?" Liam whispered in Buffy's ear as he held her.
"Yah, Didn't I tell you?" Buffy asked.
"No, but you've been so busy with your brother lately I haven't really had time to talk to you." Liam said quietly
"Oh Angel, have I been neglecting you? Because if I have I'm really sorry." Buffy said. She looked like she was almost going to cry, the idea of hurting Liam broke her heart.
"It's ok sweety, don't get all worked up" he said as he brushed a tear off her cheek. "I just want to spend every waking moment with you, anything less isn't enough."
"Well we have the after game party at my house." Buffy reminded him. "You are all coming right?" Buffy asked the gang
"Yes, Buffy don't worry it will be a great party, besides we all get to meet Faith's mystery boyfriend." Cordelia said.
"Yahh, so what was his name again?" Xander asked.
"His name is William, and you all better be really nice to him or else I'll beat you all up." Faith said
Everyone smiled at each other knowing that Faith wouldn't hurt a fly. Just then the bell rang for everyone to go to homeroom. Liam gave Buffy a kiss and they all decided to meet at the same spot for lunch.
"UUGGHH, I am so glad school is over." Buffy said as she grabbed Angel's hand.
"It wasn't so bad" Liam said as he kissed the top of her head.
"Well you like that kind of stuff, plus you're good at, I'm not." She pouted
"Come on lets go get this picture taking over with." Liam said as he dragged her down the hall towards the photo lab.
"You don't want to take pictures with me?" Buffy asked
"I'd rather take pictures of you." He smiled
"I'll race you" Buffy said as she pushed him out of the way and took off down the hall. It wasn't long before he caught up and then passed her.
"Mr. O'Connor and Ms. Summers, how many times have I told you not to run in the halls?" Principal Synder yelled after them.
"Sorry Mr.Synder, we were just in a rush to take pictures for the yearbook" Buffy said as she skidded to a halt.
"That's quite alright, just don't let me catch you two running around here any more, have I made my self clear?" he said.
"Yes, crystal clear" Liam answered as the two turned their back and started walking towards the lab. He couldn't look at Buffy because he knew that she was laughing and he didn't want to start in case Synder decided to follow them.
After the picture taking Buffy walked Liam to the locker room. His coach had a tradition where the guys all ate together before the game so that they could stay focused. Besides, Buffy had to set up for the party.
"Bye Angel, I'll miss you" Buffy said as she kissed him "Good luck"
""Thanks baby, I can't wait to see your new cheer." Liam said. "Now drive carefully, ok? You know I love my Jeep so please, no more little accidents."
"I am a good driver" Buffy said. "Ok, well maybe not a good driver but I won't do anything to your car, I promise. Now give me the keys."
"Alright, I trust you, I just don't want anything to happen to you, ok? He said as he kissed her again.
"Buffy, you know I love you, right?" He said slowly, hoping it wasn't too soon.
"I love you too, Angel" She said as she kissed him again.
Suddenly the locker room door swung open and there stood Xander, Gunn and a couple of guys from the team making kissy faces.
"Oh Gunn I love you" Xander said
"Oh Xander you hot stud you!" Gunn answered back as the guys started rolling from laughter.
"I better go, I have some business to take care of" Liam said as he glared at Gunn and Xander.
Buffy couldn't help but laugh. She had to admit, they did a pretty good impression of her and Liam.
"Alright, I'll see you at the game" Buffy said as she grabbed the keys out of his hand and ran down the hall.
"Wow he actually let you drive his car again?" Willow asked Buffy as she climbed into the Jeep.
"yes of course he did, he loves me." Buffy said happily.
She just couldn't believe how great her junior year had turned out. She had a great boyfriend like Angel, her brother was home from the army, and she had a great group of friends.
"Ok guys, we have a lot of decorating to do, so let's get to it" Buffy said as the girls climbed out of the Jeep.
Willow, Faith and Cordelia had offered to help set up for the party so they were all running around Buffy house trying to finish before they had to leave for the game.
"Buffy, are you sure your parents said it was ok that you have this party?" Faith asked
"Yes I am positive they said it was ok, they trust me." Buffy said. "Besides if we break anything, we have a week to fix it, they aren't coming back till next week Friday."
"ok, now are you sure your parents said that we could sleep over?" Willow asked.
"Yes, they said you guys could sleep over." Buffy said.
" Let me be more clear about my question, are you sure they said the guys could sleep over?" Willow asked.
"Hey do you want Xander to sleep over or not?" Buffy asked. "I mean it's not like any of us are going to do anything, right?"
Buffy said as she looked straight at Cordelia. Gunn and she were the only ones who had taken their relationship to the next level.
"Well of course not! Besides we've only had sex once, it's not like we do it all the time" Cordy said as she raised her voice.
"Calm down I was just asking" Buffy said "let's get back to work, we have to leave soon to get to the game on time."
The two had already become the school's "cutest couple", and they were supposed to take pictures together for the yearbook that afternoon. Everyone around them knew that the couple loved each other very much. Buffy and Liam knew they loved each other also, but neither had vocalized it just yet.
