Buffy strolled into the halls of Sunnydale High. It was the first day of senior year and all Buffy could think about was how bad she wanted it to be the last day. This year was going to be the longest of her life and that was something she was not looking forward to. All she wanted to do was get ouf of Sunnydale and do what she was made to do. But currently, her new class schedule awaited.

"Hey Buffy!" Xander called after his best friend only to be ignored. "Hello Buffy, Queen of Buffonia, occupant of Buffdom! You there?"

Xander pulled Buffy out of her daze to recieve a dazzling smile. "Hey Xand" Buffy said happily to one of her best friends, "How's up?"

"It's up. You." Xander replied to the phrase the two had started using during middle school.

"Sucky. Got my schedule and man I so have Gentz for Chem." Buffy moaned, "I mean he failed me last year, I don't think I'm gonna have that much better luck this year."

"Don't worry Buff, nothing can compare to the hell I will face with Murrahy for French" Xander said as his shoulders sagged at another year with Murrahy. He had her freshman year, and man was she dull. And she hated Xander, the constant jokes about her obtuse haircut probably didn't help the situation.

"Hey guys!" The duo turned around to see thier other best friend Willow Rosenberg skipping to catch up with them, "How's up?"

"Very not good" Buffy moaned.

"New schedule?" Willow questioned knowingly.

"Very new and very bad." Buffy said with a sigh, "what about you Will?"

"Great!" Willow said gleefully, "I have Jones for AP Chem, Lordes for AP Euro and Oz is in that class with me, so. . .yea!"

"Good for you" Buffy said.

"What about you Xander? Things bad on the class front" Willow asked with a smile.

"I cannot stress how much they are" Xander replied glumly.

The threesome continued to walk through the halls discussing various topics. That's how they always were, well most of the time. When Buffy Summers moved to Sunnydale, California in fifth grade she quickly befriended the two friendless, Willow Rosenberg and Xander Harris. Since then the three have been best friends and everyone knows it. However, last year Xander started dating the school snob Cordelia Chase, Cordy to most. Cordy started to soften up to the guy during their Algebra class and risked all her popularity to be with him. Both were glad she did. Willow on the other hand, started dating Oz, or Daniel Osbourne, quiet musician type. And Buffy. . .well she had her own things. The trio tried to spend as much time as possible still, but it was hard work sometimes.

***Later That Day***

The school day had finally ended and Buffy couldn't be happier. As she walked to her car she spotted her younger sister Dawn leaning on her car talking to some guy. Buffy approached the two and the boy promptly said good-bye to Dawn and ran away.

"Do you always have to do that?" Dawn asked angrily and she slid into the passenger seat of Buffy's car.

"Do what?" Buffy asked as she pulled out of her parking spot.

"You know what I mean." Dawn accused.

"I'm sorry." Buffy said falsely as she drove towards her house, "Next time I'll hide in the bushes until you're Dawn talking to the guy near my car!"

"Shut up." Dawn muttered.

"Don't have to." Buffy responded as she turned up the radio and concentrated on the road.

The girls arrived at their house and both exited the car and entered the house. Their mother was sitting at the kitchen table, bizarre.

"Hey mom." Buffy said chipperly.

"Whatcha doin' home this time of the day?" Dawn asked her mother curiously.

"I had to close the gallery early." Joyce said quietly.

Buffy looked down at her feet immediately feeling guilty. "I'm sorry Mom," Buffy said queitly.

Joyce looked at her eldest and put on a smile, "It's not your fault sweetie." Joyce said and then quickly changed the subject, "How was the first day of school?"

Both girls groaned.

"Bad" Dawn said.

"Very Bad." Buffy followed.

"Well if it was that bad then that means you probably should get upstairs and do some homework." Joyce said.

The two daughters groaned, "I like it better when you work." Dawn said trotting up the stairs.

"You're very cruel" Buffy said as she kissed her mother on the cheek and then went up the stairs to her room.

***Dinner***

Joyce, Dawn, and Buffy were all sitting down at the dinner table after the girls had finished their homework and were talking amicably. The phone rang.

"I'll get it!" The two sisters cried at the same time. Both girls ran to the phone but Buffy got there first.

"Hello" Buffy said with a triumphant smile. "Hey Willow."

Dawn rolled her eyes and stomped back to the table to finish her meal.

Buffy talked to Willow for a few minutes and then went to the kitchen table.

"Mom is it alright if I go over to Willow's?" Buffy asked giving her mother the puppy-dog eyes.

Joyce rolled her eyes at this and nodded her head, "Be back before 10."

"Thank you, thank you, thank you!" Buffy said happily.

***Willow's House***

Buffy pulled into Willow's driveway with Xander and Cordy. Willow had requested they all come over, Oz was already there, and Buffy said she would pick up Xander and Cordy. As they got out of the car they saw an all to familiar car.

Buffy quickly ran into the house, "Willow!"

"In here" Willow called from her living room.

"Hey! WES!" Buffy yelled happily to Willow's brother.

"Hey Buffy!" Wes said embracing the small blonde who was like a sister to him.

"I thought you weren't getting back from Cambridge till next week?" Xander asked as he and Wes pulled out of an embrace, a manly embrace.

"That was the plan but we figured why wait?" Wes finished happily.

"Who'd you bring?" Buffy asked, a smile still plastered to her face.

Willow and Wesley both motioned over to the couch and their sat a quiet brunette. "Xander, Buffy I'd like you to meet Fred. My girlfriend."

"Hi Fred!" Buffy said happily and shook the girls hand. Xander gave the girl a goofy smile.

All the people soon sat down on the assorted furniture in the living room.

"Hey Oz." Xander said solemnly, "Didn't notice you with all the commotion."

"Understandable" Oz nodded.

From down the hall a toilet was heard flushing.

"Your parents home Will?" Buffy questioned.

"Actually" Wes interjected, "I brough my best friend from Cambridge. Spike"

After Wes informed them a bleached-blonde with piercing blue eyes walked into the living room.

"Hello." the man said with a smirk.

Buffy leaned over to Willow, "That Spike?" Buffy asked.

"Mmm-hmm" Willow said with a giggle.

"Good lord" Buffy said, melting on the inside, "isn't that illegal?"

"What?" Willow whispered.

"That hair, those eyes, that smirk" Buffy responded love struck.

"Not sure, I can look it up if you want." Willow responded.

"You do that" Buffy said dumbly.

The man named Spike walked over to the couch Buffy was sitting on and sat next to her.

"Hello luv," Spike said with a smirk, "Buffy Summers."

"I'm Buffy" Buffy said stupidly.

"I know that" Spike said with a smile, "Got to be a complete idiot not to."

Buffy felt all her hopes crushed. He already knew her, that meant he had stereotypes already built up about her. No chance in hell anymore.

The rest of the night went on with talk about the three college students. Buffy was tired though and was ready to leave.

She said her good-byes and Cordy said she'd call her daddy's limo to pick up her and Xander. Well her words were actually "I'll call the limo so we can have some primo make-out session."

As she opened the car door Spike came out to the car.

"Hey" he said with a smirk.

"Hello" she responded as she got into her car.

"Mind giving me a ride to my uncle's?" Spike asked nervously.

"I guess." Buffy said calmly, but man on the inside was she flipping out!

On the way home the two talked about everything. He was really. . .wow. And he was in a band. She liked him. Too much for her own bad luck.

"No way are The Ramones worse than the Sex Pistols" Buffy debated with smile.

"I'm not saying the Ramones are bad I'm just saying the Sex Pistols are better" Spike said with a smirk.

"That's crap" Buffy responded laughing.

"This is my house." He said

"Ok" Buffy said, sad to see the drive end.

She pulled into his driveway.

"I guess this is it" he said.

"Yeah" she said dissapointedly.

He reached over and gave her a small kiss on the lips. Just a nice good-bye kiss, with much emphasis on the nice.

He walked into his house and as he got to the door gave her a small wave back.

She drove home happily that night. Buffy just couldn't hide that she was on cloud 9, no wait make that cloud infinity! She was so happy that when she walked in she went into Dawn's room and gave her a kiss on the head, much to her sister's disgust. She switched out of her clothes and got into her pajamas and crawled into bed. That night she had sweet dreams about a certain bleached-blonde.

***Next Morning***

"Buffy Summers Get Down Here Now!" Joyce Summers called walking up her eldest daughter.

Buffy arose wondering what she did wrong. She was home before ten so that wasn't it. She did not get in trouble on her first day of school. What the hell did she do.

She walked downstairs to see her mother holding up the front of the L.A. Times.

"FAMOUS TEEN MOVIE STAR CAUGHT MAKING OUT WITH A GUY IN A CAR! See Inside For Full Details"

And there was a picture of her and Spike in her car. . .right next to the picture of her with Nicole Kidman at the Oscars.

Fuck.

IMPORTANT:

I hoped everyone liked it. I know I started a story earlier this week but I didn't like it that much and didn't recieve too much feedback on it so I decided to start something new. Maybe I'll pick up the other one later, if I get motivated. I would really, really like some feedback on what people thought of the story. Please, please, please. Thank you all so much for reading and remember. . .
