Before Willow could say anything to her teared up friend, Buffy leapt up from the table. She had enough. Angel was going to hell for sure! Before Buffy could stop herself she raced up to table one. She saw Angel sitting and laughing with his friends.

"How could you do this? You are a rotten asshole!" She yelled between tears. Angel stopped mid-sentence and turned pale. He didn't know that his little joke could hurt her so much. This got him relieved! His friends would never make fun of him now!

"What? To surprised to finally meet you fate as a dork!" Angel laughed in her face.

"I knew you were a cold hearted bastard, but I didn't know you could sink this low!"

At this Buffy ran into the hall, with Xander and Willow running after her.

"Angel what the heck was that all about?" Faith questioned.

"Yeah man, what's up with that? You never said that you hated her that much!" He said looking again at the board.

Gun and Drew nodded their head in agreement. Angel looked at them in astonishment!

"What do you mean what was that all about? I can hate whoever I want! Now do you still think I like her? If you do, then you all must be brain dead or something!" Angel screamed with anger the size of raging fire!

"Ok man, we get the message," Gun said trying to cool Angel down.

"It's just you're always looking at her! You're always talking about how much you hate her, so I just figured....

"Figured what?" Angel snapped! "She's a dirty lowlife, I don't like her!"

"Ok man you don't like her, but you gotta admit that she's hot," Spike said making Angel blush!

"Yeah, she's hot, but she's got a mouth that just doesn't stop yapping!" Angel threw back!

Spike went back to discussing how he was flunking algebra, and he needed major help. Angel zoned out for a second. He actually felt bad for a moment, but he decided to dismiss the feeling. Angel resumed to the discussion about Spike flunking algebra.

"Buffy, Buffy, Buffy!" Willow and Xander both yelled running after her.

Buffy stopped running, but still cried the river running out of her eyes.

"Buffy don't worry!" Xander and I will always stay your friends not matters what!" Willow exclaimed.

"Definitely!" Xander chipped in.

"Forget Angel, he's an asshole, he can't make Xander and I hate you, so forget him!" Willow hollered with a very angry face.

Buffy just let out a few more tears.

"Buffy look at me! You are the single most beautiful and sweet woman I have ever met!" Xander said making Buffy blush!

"Yeah, like I said, that jerk is out to get you for no reason! There's nothing wrong with you, so don't let him get to you like that!

Her friends were right. Angel was a jerk, but why should she cry? Her friends obviously loved her for who she was! Who cares if she had been disapproved by a numb-brain like him!

The bell rang again, and everybody went back to class. Buffy was the last one to enter the science classroom! As soon as she entered, her heart nearly leapt out of her throat!
