"Ugh. Another year at this hell hole." Cordelia grumbled as she walked up to her friends waiting infront of the building.
"I know. They should pay us just to step foot in this place." Harmony added, snapping her bubble gum.
"I don't know. I think its kind of exciting.....seniors and all." Willow said.
"Whatever." Cordelia answered, rolling her eyes at her friend.
"Where's Buffy? I can't stand out in the sun all day waiting for her." Anya sighed.
"Ooh! There she is!" Willow chirped up spotting her best friend. "Buffy! Over here!"
Buffy smiled and waved to her friends, making her way to the group. She lifted her sunglasses on top of her head, letting her sparkling green eyes shimmer in the sunlight. She absently twirled on a piece of her honey golden locks while walking.
She had changed quite dramatically over the years actually. Besides the change of name, she had bleached her hair color to a rich blonde instead of brunette, not that she would ever admit it. She went from jeans and tees to the most fashionable clothing, and ditched her glasses for stunning contacts.
Sometimes she would question herself on why she had changed so much over the past few years.
Was she happy? Maybe. Was she popular? Oh yeah.
"Hey all." Buffy greeted as she plopped down next to Willow.
"Finally decided to show up after all." Cordelia sighed for a moment but it turned instantly into a wide smile. "Practice after school for the game. Be there?"
"Of course." Buffy answered dryly. She turned to the red head. "Are you coming?" Buffy pouted.
" Well..... I don't know. Football games aren't really my thing." Willow scrunched up her nose.
"Oh, come on Wills. It'll be fun. And maybe the team will actually win this time." Buffy cheered.
Cordy snorted.
"Don't hold your breath."
"Well as long as I get to watch Xander run around and get dirty, then I'm all for it." Anya shrugged, applying another layer of lip gloss to her lips.
"TMI Anya." Cordelia shuddered.
"Oz will be there." Buffy pressed.
" Fine." Willow mumbled after a dramatic sigh.
Buffy beamed and hugged her friend tightly. "Thanks!"
" Okay, since we solved that... I say we get our asses to class. Wouldn't want a visit with dear ole' Principal Snyder yet, do we?" Cordelia sarcastically asked, picking up her things.
"Ugh. No." Buffy cringed at the name. "I swear he's got it out for me." Buffy said standing as well.
" Face it, he's out for all of us. Like a little, annoying, detention Nazi." Harmony sighed.
"Gotta book, me and Will have History now. See you at lunch!" Buffy shouted as she made her way down the hallway with the red head clung to her arm.
The two girls entered the classroom and sat a way towards the back..... much to Willow's dismay. She was always the brainiac of the group.
"So... how was the dad visit?" Willow asked biting her tongue as she watched Buffy's face falter at the mention of her father.
"Good. Kind of a tradition. Post school week long stay at dads in L.A." Buffy sighed. " Shopping was a plus, but I didn't talk to him much. Always at work. And then theres the inevitable 'remember its not your fault me and your mom split up' speech, followed by the 'we love you both very dearly' crap."
"Ouch." Willow hesitated. "Sorry, I know its rough. My parents got a divorce too. At least you get to see your father." Willow comforted.
"Its not a divorce. Just... a trial seperation is all. They'll get back together, you wait and see." Buffy opposed.
Sighing, Willow turned her head to the front of the room, mumbling a slight 'sure they will.'
~*~
"That.Was.Hell." Buffy spoke slowly, eyes wide as she walked out of the classroom with her friend.
"It wasn't that bad." Willow said.
" Sure, not for you. But me- it classifies as a big problem." Buffy said. "Its just my luck I get the teacher from hell. I mean, who really needs to know dates, and battles, and wars, the Constitution, and what shaped our world anyhow?"
"Don't worry. I'll prep you for the test next week." Willow supported with a shoulder squeeze.
" Did I ever tell you how lucky I am that you're my friend? Cause... you working with me. Miracle worker." Buffy said.
"You'll do fine." He friend persisted. "I have computers next so I'll see you later."
Buffy pouted. "You're leaving me?...." She whined. Willow rolled her eyes.
" You'll be fine." And with that, she was gone.
Buffy sighed and started down the hallway by herself.
She was too busy winking and smiling to everyone to notice a strong form coming her way until it smacked right into her, spilling her books all over the floor.
Buffy glanced down to where her books had fallen at her feet and noticed the familiar black boots infront of her chunky heels. She growled silently as her eyes travelled dangerously up to the bleach blonde's face to meet an annoying, cocky grin.
" Rude much?!" Buffy snapped, her eyes narrowing into two green slits.
" Nice to see you too luv." Spike rolled his eyes.
" Ya know I'de say the same... except I don't want to see you and its not nice." Buffy growled picking off a piece of imaginary lint.
" Break a nail did you barbie? My deepest apologies." Spike scoffed bringing a hand to his chest dramatically.
" Ya know, that sarcasm never gets old..... until now." Buffy smirked, picking up her books and side- stepping the blonde.
" Eh! Was trying to be decent 'ere." Spike called after her.
" Except you aren't decent!" Buffy called over her shoulder. She smiled at herself when she heard his low growl come from his chest behind her.
~*~
"So I told her it was a complete rip-off! I mean off the hanger designer. Who does she think she is?" Harmony complained to her lunch table.
They all turned the heads toward the blonde as she slumped in her seat and banged her head repeatedly on the table.
"Er....Buffy? Something wrong?" Willow asked.
Buffy lifted her head up wearily to stare at her friends. "Come to find out that I have Algebra with wonder boy. Worst off- we sit next to each other!" Buffy slammed her head back on the table.
All the girls shared a cheekey grin at the blonde's actions, slightly bemused by the whole situation.
"You and Spike? Same class? Next to each other?" Harmony asked increduously.
" Doesn't the teacher know thats hell waiting to happen?" Cordy giggled.
With a nod of her head Buffy confirmed the comment.
" Maybe its a good thing." Willow said. At everyone's dumb-founded stares she continued. "I-I mean... well, you two haven't had the best friendship-"
"Best?! Friendship?! Wills! We despise each other!" Buffy protested.
" Hell, they're plotting each others deaths!" Cordy added.
" Well....okay, yeah. But I'm just saying, maybe you and him will learn to work it all out."
" Work it all out?!" Buffy shouted. "We have hated each other for 4 years! Sworn enemies don't sit down and talk about the weather, nor have a spot of tea." Buffy said sarcastically. "I mean... just look at him!"
They all followed the girls disgusted face to the other side of the cafeteria.
'Spike', as he is now known for, was sitting on a table surrounded by his gothic friends: Drusilla, Faith, and Devon- also known as the school freaks.
Each of them dressed in black and leather, having one piercing or another. They smoked, drinked, and partied. Not to mention their 'holier than thou' attitude they each beheld.
" Good point." Willow said.
" Ew. Whats with his clothes?" Buffy shuddered.
" And that hair-!" Harmony cringed.
" I so know. I mean, whats up with the whole 'Billy Idol' look? The eighties are so dead." Cordelia added.
" Well, except for the Madonna thing. Cause she's like.... the Queen of Cool. So she has a right of privelage." Harmony said.
" I don't know. I kind of like it." Anya spoke up suddenly. All four heads whipped toward her. "Well the whole bad ass thing is very sexy. And the hair works for him. "
" Bleach much?!" Buffy snapped.
" Plus, I bet it gets all spiked up in bed." Anya sighed. "And what a delicious body." She unconsciously licked her lips.
"Anya-" Cordelia started.
Anya rolled her eyes.
"Yeah, yeah, I know. Too much information."
~*~
Honestly, Buffy didn't even know why she bothered.
Okay, being a cheerleader was kind of fun. And with everyone looking up to you, its a pretty sweet deal. However, if your team doesn't score a single point all season.... then you kind of wonder why you even bother getting everyone worked up, jumping and cheering around.
"Ready girls? Okay!" Cordelia, the Captain of the squad cheered.
"You might be good at basketball, you might be good at track! But when it comes to football, you might as well step back!" The squad cheered.
Okay, what was the point of even *pretending* to still have hope of winning when the score is 0 to 21? Buffy did not know. But still she managed to do a toe- touch and end up in a split.
The cheerleaders cringed as the opposing team knocked into Xander, sending him into a dog pile.
"Thats gotta hurt." Buffy stated.
"Ooh! Xander! Come on, get up!" Anya cheered, biting her lip nervously.
He got up and waved to the worried girls. Riley came up patting Xander on the back in the field. Unfortunately, neither guys saw the incoming pass Parker threw to them until it hit Riley square in the face.
"Ow. That's gonna' leave a mark." Cordelia said.
If not bad enough, the other team was rolling on the grass laughing.
All the cheerleaders looked at each other and shrugged. *They* might as well put on a good show for the crowd. The girls turned to the tons of people sitting in the stands.
"Step to the back, Get out of our way, We are the Wild Cats, and we'll blow you away! Whoo!! Go WildCats!" They screamed in unison.
Buffy nearly choked as she saw four black clad figures coming down to the bleachers. Spike and his pals never came to games. And when they did- all hell was about to break loose.
"Cordy, they're here!" Buffy mumbled nervously to the brunette. Cordelia looked and shook her head.
"Okay, just calm down. Keep it cool. They won't try anything." Cordy assured. "Alright, squad! Two, four, six, eight!"
"Take it to the top! No, we will never stop! We're the hottest thing around, were the baddest thing in town! So watch out for this team cause we are following our dream! Take it- take it- take it to the top! We can't- we can't- we just can't be stopped!" The ladies cheered.
Spike, Faith, Devon, and Drusilla walked infront of the peppy girls, exchanging dirty glares.
"Baddest team indeed." Spike chuckled as they tackled Parker in the field. "And another one bites the dust."
" What are you doing here anyway? Then again, the suns down so I guess you're safe." Harmony spat.
"Well, we just wanted to pay our respects. Ya know, team spirit and all that rot." Spike scoffed.
"Really?" Buffy asked unbelievably, crossing her arms over her chest.
" No." Spike laughed." We just all like a good laugh." He smirked.
" Listen here bleach boy, get you and your friends' freakish asses out of here!" Buffy started.
" Or you'll what? Cheer us to death?" Devon added.
" No guys! Don't tease- they have *gasp* pom-poms!" Faith laughed.
" Come on Spikey, lets just go." Drusilla cooed latched onto his arm.
" Yes please, Spikey." Cordelia laughed.
" 'Lright, pet. Let's go." Spike said dragging Drusilla away after one more glance at Buffy.
~*~
"Mom! I'm home!" Buffy shouted as she closed the door behind her. She took off her coat and plopped her bag down on the hardwood floors.
She sauntered into the kitchen and watched as her mom entered from the back door.
"Umm...mom? Watcha' doing?" Buffy asked pulling up a stool.
Joyce whipped around and chuckled nervously to her daughter.
" Buffy! Honey, your home."
"Could say the same for you. Where have you been?" Buffy asked walking over to the fridge.
" Oh, ya know, just at the gallery." Joyce said getting two spoons to join Buffy in eating her carton of ice cream,
"This late, huh?" Buffy shrugged.
" Well we got a new shipment in at the last minute, so I stayed and helped unpack." Joyce said.
" Oh." Buffy said taking a spoonful in her mouth.
"How was the game?" Joyce asked.
" Oh you know, we ate dirt. Literally for some of the guys." Buffy chuckled.
" Maybe next time." Her mother supported. "Well, I'm beat. I think I'll hit the sack."
"But mom- its only 10." Buffy complained. Her mother never went to bed this early.
" Rough night, baby." Joyce kissed her forehead lightly before walking over to the stairs. "Goodnight!"
"Yeah, night." Buffy whispered to herself, giving the spot her mother had just been a quizzical look.
