~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Buffy scribbled down some notes for the history project that was worth 40% of her final grade, "I cannot afford to fail this project. Gile's will kill me!"

Willow was also copying down some notes, "No sweat Buffy, with me as your partner, you'll pass with flying colors."

Buffy grinned, "So true."

The teacher grabbed a bucket off her desk, "Ok, people; in here are all your names, which means, I get to pick your partners."

Buffy looked panicked, "Oh boy, I'm dead."

The teacher reached into the bucket, "Ok, the first pair is..."

The door opened and Angel came sauntering in, 30 minutes late.

The teacher rolled her eyes, "Nice of you to join us Angel."

He never cracked a smile, "Well, I try."

Everyone except Buffy laughed.

Buffy rolled her eyes, "Aren't you so cool."

Angel grinned, "Nice of you to say that." Then his grin vanished and he sat in his desk.

"Idiot."

The teacher continued, "The first pair is Willow and Fred."

Willow smiled, "Sorry Buffy, but I can still help."

"Thanks Will."

The teacher pulled out more names, "Tara and Oz."

More names, "Buffy and..."

Buffy looked up.

The teacher wanted to laugh, "Buffy and Angel."

Buffy's eyes widened, "I'm changing schools."

Angel looked ticked off, "Just what I need."

As the teacher finished pairing off people, Buffy glared at Angel.

She turned to Willow, "I'll never pass this class. I'm dead!"

As the bell rang, Angel got up, went to Buffy, and whispered in her ear, "Is that a promise?"

Then he walked out.

Buffy wanted to throw her books at him, "Who the hell does he think he is?! What an ass hole. I am NOT going to let him mess up my grade!"

Buffy ran out of the room and left her friends starring in awe.

Gunn smiled, "This should be interesting."

~~~~~

Buffy stormed down the hall looking for Angel. She found him standing by some lockers with Spike and Xander; she marched right up to them.

They all looked at her.

Spike smiled, "Hey pet."

Buffy ignored Xander and Spike's stares and looked at Angel, "Listen, you self-righteous son-of-a-bitch; There is no way in HELL that I am going to fail that class just because I have a partner with a brain the size of a fuckin' pea! Listen to me, I'm swearing! I never swear!"

The three boys just smiled at her.

Buffy wanted to hit them, "You ARE going to help me on this damn project even if I have to find, and go to your house in the middle of the night to get you to help me! I am NOT fooled by your "bad boy" act and it isn't going to work on me!"

With that, Buffy walked away and didn't say another word.

Xander grinned, "Quite the spitfire isn't she?"

Spike added, "She's hot too."

Angel wasn't amused, "A pain in my ass is what she is."

Xander snickered, "So, are you going to work with her?"

"If I don't, I'll never hear the end of it; she'll be in my face, until she drives me crazy, then...I'll end up killing her."

Spike smiled, "It could be worse; she could be a dog."

Angel just looked at his brother, "Yes, she's hot, but she's still annoying as all hell. I just wanna get it over with."

Xander asked, "Why do you hate her so much?"

"She's a snob. She thinks that she's god gift and that she can get away with whatever she wants."

"Oh, Ok." Xander smiled.

"Why so serious boys?"

Faith, Cordelia, and Dru came walking up.

Xander smiled, "Ladies."

Cordelia wrapped her arms around Xander and kissed him. Angel looked at Spike and Dru and they were doing the same thing.

Faith smiled at Angel, "I guess it's just you and me."

Angel smiled at his sister, "Looks that way."

He put his arm around her shoulders and they walked to their next class together.

Faith noticed that her brother was starring off into space, "What's her name?"

"What?"

"Name, what's her name?"

"Buffy."

"Oh yea, I know her. You got the hots for her?"

"Quite the opposite actually. I can't stand her. I have to work on a history project with her for the next 2 weeks. If she doesn't quit acting like a snobby little bitch, I'm gonna kill her."

Faith laughed, "I see. But you don't find her the least bit attractive?"

"I already went over that with Spike. She's hot; but not hot enough for me to want to put up with her holier-than-though shit for two weeks."

Faith smiled, "Poor baby."

He just grinned at her and they continued walking to class.
