"I need to tel-" Buffy started to say to Harmony and Cordelia when Cordelia interrupted her.

"Buffy, you should see the new girl. It's like, she doesn't even care what people think." Cordelia said in disgust and Buffy sighed.

"I know, that Faith girl is like, a walking felony." Harmony added agreeing with Cordelia. Buffy didn't say anything as just turned around and started walking to the school exit.

"Where are you going?" Cordelia asked a raised her eyebrow.

"I'm going outside to get some fresh air." Buffy told them. She was still confused about what she was going to do. Buffy just needed a little more time to think about it. At first she was going to tell her friends about Angel now she doesn't know what she wants to do.

"You're going to skip, but it's last period!" Harmony stated with a gasp.

"Yup," Buffy declared and walked out. Her friends will get over it. She has never skipped before, but there is always a first time for everything.

Buffy decided she didn't want to walk home. So she just sat next to a tree and she was still on school property. Buffy was in deep thoughts when some made a loud cough. Buffy turned around to face a girl that was taller then her, she had brown eyes and hair.

"Rough day?" The girl asked and sat down next to Buffy.

"Tell me about it?" Buffy sighed. Last period was all most over and she still didn't know what she was going to do about her problem.

"I'm Faith," The girl told her. Buffy stared at the girl knowing she was the new girl that Harmony and Cordelia were talking about. She didn't look as bad as they said. Sure she looked like one of those hard core types, but she seemed to be really nice to Buffy.

"Buffy," Buffy told her. Then Faith took out a pack of cigarette from her back pocket.

"What a smoke?" Faith asked offering Buffy a cigarette.

"No, I didn't smoke." Buffy told Faith. Faith shrugged and lit her cigarette.

"So what's your story, B?" Faith asked Buffy, after blowing out a bunch of smoke.

"My story?" Buffy asked confused.

"Yeah your story. You don't look like the kind to skip. So what's up?" Faith asked. Buffy wonder if she looked that obviously that a stranger could tell when she had a problem. Buffy decided it wouldn't hurt to tell Faith about Angel, maybe she could even help with the problem.

"Well, I got this boyfriend that my friends don't actually know were going out and if they did the we were going out they wouldn't approve." Buffy explained.

"So do you really love this guy?" Faith asked Buffy, after thinking about what Buffy just told her.

"Yes," Buffy said with out even thinking.

"Well, if you really love this guy then your friends would understand and if they don't then they're pretty crappie friends." Faith told her then the last period school bell rang.

"Thanks for your help." Buffy said getting up. She was going to find her friends before they left school.

"Good luck, B!" Faith called to her, as Buffy walked back towards the school.

"I am going to need it, F." Buffy yelled back with a laugh.

"Buffy, where have you been. I can't believe you actually skipped." Cordelia said right when Buffy walked back into the school.

"I need to talk to you guys about Angel." Buffy told them and the both stopped dead in their tracks.

"What about Angel?" Cordelia coldly. Buffy knew Cordelia was going to be angry with her anyways because she broke their oath, but she has to find out some time.

"We are together." Buffy finally told them. Harmony mouth dropped and Cordelia looked pissed.

"Well, our going to have to pick your friends or the loser." Cordelia sneered and Buffy knew it was going to come down to his.

"Angel," Buffy said boldly, looking Cordelia straight in the eye.

"Fine be with your loser punk boyfriend, but you will never be popular in this school again." Cordelia told her and tossed her hair over her shoulders. Then started walked down the hallway with Harmony close behind. Harmony would look back at Buffy every two seconds.

After they were out of sight Buffy decided to go looking for Angel. She found him at his locker.

"Hey," Buffy greeted and put her arms around his waist.

"Hey yourself." Angel smiled and turned around to face Buffy. Buffy stood on her tip toes and gave Angel a kiss on the lips. Then Angel pulled her into an embrace and gave her a longer kiss.

"Maybe we should go to the library." Angel offered after they pulled away. There were a few people watching them kiss in the middle of the hallway.

"No, right here's fine." Buffy smiled and gave him another loving kiss.
