Buffy walked out of her last class before lunch that day, CNT, a computer class. Buffy wasn't all in to computers, but she knew how to work on one and heard it was an easy class, so she decided to take it. Spike was in it too, which used to be a bad thing, but now that they were friends, it was fun. They would send messages from computer to computer and make fun of how Mr. Rhymes, the teacher's head was shaped like a peanut, it was true. She knew Angel didn't enjoy their friendship much, but she wasn't going to let him decide who she could be friends with. She hadn't even seen much of him since the night he almost killed Spike.
"Buff, you okay?" Spike asked, waving his hand in front of her face.
"Huh? What? Oh, yeah. Sorry, just kind of lost in the world of thoughts," she said.
"Everything okay?"
"Yes Spike. Its funny, we've been friends for such a short time and all ready you are worried about my mental state, I'm so touched," Buffy laughed.
"What can I say? I'm a sensitive guy."
"Yeah, maybe in another universe."
"Spike, there you are! I've been looking ev-Why are you with her?" Cordelia questioned as she ran into his arms.
Buffy felt her anger level raise, she really didn't need Cordelia around now, "I'm going to go."
"Buffy wait!" Spike called after her but she ignored him and kept going. "Bloody hell."
"Who cares about her?"
"I do," he whispered.
"What was that?" Cordelia asked.
"Nothing luv, lets just . . . Go."

As soon as Buffy got of sight from Spike and Cordelia, she headed to the girls' bathroom to check her make up. Once inside, she found Willow, Tara and Anya all doing what she had come to do. Walking over, she joined Willow in the same mirror, "Hi Buffy."
"Oh, hey Wills, what are you guys up to?"
"You know, making sure we look hot for the boys. Mostly Xander. Xander is hot," Anya said. "I like to be hot for Xander so he will always love me."
"Ahn, Xander will always love you," Tara said.
"Are you saying I'm going to get ugly? Gee, thanks."
"N-No that's not what I m-meant."
"So Buffy, what's up with you and Angel, I mean one minute you're all "Oh look at us we're the most perfect couple in the world" and now you're all "Don't look at us, we're miserable"," Willow said.
"We are not miserable!" Buffy protested, although she knew her friends knew her to know that that wasn't true. Her and Angel weren't MISERABLE together; she preferred the term 'emotionally unavailable'.
"Right," the three girls said together.
"Okay, so we aren't in the best part of our relationship, its just, a lot has been going in. Its messed up my life and I'm confused. There are so many choices I have to make, so many feelings I don't want to be feeling."
"You mean, since Spike came and all?" Tara asked.
"That and other things. It goes beyond Spike now. I'm seeing things that I never saw before. Our love blinded me from it, I thought Angel was the perfect guy, but it turns out, he's only human."
"Are you guys . . ." Willow started, but didn't want to finish.
"Breaking up? No. At least, I hope not."

"Buffy, we really need to talk," Angel said as the two started their walk home together. He looked to Spike who walked in tune with Buffy, "Alone."
"Hey, whatever you can say in front of Buffy you can-"
"Spike, go," Buffy said, staring at the ground.
"Gone," Spike said and headed off in another direction.
Angel looked to Buffy and lifted her chin so she would look him in the eyes, "What is happening?"
"I don't know. I was hoping you would."
"I don't want to break up Buffy."
"Neither do I! This is just a rough patch, relationships have those. They aren't meant to be easy Angel."
"I know. And I hope in the end, we will always be together because I love you," Angel said, kissing the ring he had given her. "And that's proof."
