A/N: Sorry about taking so long, but my computer was broken, but now it's all better and the good news, I got A's on almost all of my test (damn history, C-). Okay on with the story.

Chapter 5: Love?

The faculty of SHS was sitting in the meeting waiting for Xander to start the meeting, Buffy and Angelus sitting opposite sides of the room.

"Hi everybody," Xander started rather nervously, "I'm sure you guys are all wondering where Mr. Smith is," the rest of the faculty looked around, finally noticing that of their colleges was missing, Xander started talking again, "Mr. Smith will no longer be working with us, right now his is in jail for selling drugs."

A bunch of gasps and Oh, My Gods filled the room.

Xander took a breath and started to talk again, "Until we find a new Drivers Ed. teacher, Buffy-" Xander was cut off by Buffy.

"Xand, you have known me since the 10th grade, me and cars don't mix, remember the last time I drove, do you remember the before and after pictures of the car?" Buffy asked.

"Buffy, I'm dumb, not insane, there is no power on this Earth that would make me let you get behind the steering wheel of a car, what I was going to say until we find a new Drivers Ed teacher PE and Self-defense will be split up into two different courses," Xander explained.

Buffy's face lit up "So, this mean that Angel and I will rarely, almost never get to see each other?"

"Yes, from now on, or until we get a new teacher, PE will be held outside on the field and Self-defense will be held in the gym," Xander said, "okay the meeting is done, now we are going to have an assembly to tell the kids about Mr. Smith you guys can come if you want."



Buffy left the room, feeling happy, yet deep down she felt something else, but she wasn't sure what it was.

"Buffy!" Someone called out, Buffy turned around to see the drama teacher, Cordelia Chase.

"Yes, Cordelia?"

"Cordy."

"What do you want," Buffy said, not unkindly.

"Are you sad?" Cordy asked.

"About what? Mr. Smith? I only met him a few times, but no teacher should sell drugs, for all we know he could of slipped them to other faculty or students."

"No, for about not working with Angelus anymore!"

"Why would that make me sad?" Buffy asked.

"Duh, because you're in love with him!"

Buffy couldn't help but laugh, "You're a good actress, you look like you actually mean it."

"I'm not acting, Buffy."

Buffy stopped laughing, "We haven't even known each other a week and we can't stand each other, so, what makes you think that I'm in love with him?"

"The first day you met him you made up a nickname for him."

"Yeah, a nickname to remind him that I smashed him into a wall!"

"You always hurt the one you love, think about it," Cordy said before she walked away.

"Love?" Buffy said to herself, "Love is crap."

But she couldn't help but think, was she in love?



Angelus was still sitting in the chair from the meeting; everyone else had left except for him and Spike.

"So, you're in love with her." Spike said than asked.

Angelus snapped put of his trance, "Huh?"

"Buffy Summers, you're in love with her."

"What the hell are you thinking?" Angelus asked.

"You're in love with her, just admit it."

"I can't stand her, what makes you think I'm in love with Buffy, the bitch?"

"Buffy is the hottest chick on the faculty and you haven't said anything about shagging her."

"She's a bitch."

"Darla was a bitch and you *did* shag her."

"I can't stand Buffy!"

"Okay then, tell me you don't love her, tell me you hate her," Spike said, they have been best friends since the age of 2; they couldn't lie to each other.

"I-I-I-I can't," said bewildered Angelus

Spike smiled, "I knew you were in love from the very first day, so now what are you going to do?"
