The last bell of the day rang and Buffy walked out of her classroom, Willow right behind her. The two made their way over to their lockers and quickly gathered their books. Buffy waited as Willow fumbled with the lock and once they were done, they headed over to where Natalie's locker was located. Buffy saw her talking with Cordelia and felt the anger coming on strong. She did not want her cousin to mix in with the wrong people, people like Cordelia.
"Natalie!" Buffy yelled, breaking up their conversation. "We have to get going, the guys are waiting outside for us."
"Buffy, where are your manners?" Cordelia asked. "We were in the middle of a conversation."
"Sorry, but I don't really care. C'mon Natalie," she said, grabbing her arm.
"Okay, okay. I'll see you later Cordy," Natalie said, walking off with Buffy and Willow.
"See you later? Why would you see her later? Nat, Cordelia isn't the type of person you should be hanging out with," Buffy said.
"You're just jealous."
"Buffy's right Natalie, Cordelia is bad news," Willow said, trying to help her friend.
"So what? Its not like you guys are all with the good. Shouldn't I be allowed to pick who I want to hang out with? Besides, it was harmless talk," Natalie said, shrugging. "You have friends Buff, I'm trying to make some."
Buffy felt guilty for ruining her cousin's chance at making a friend. But Cordelia? God, out of all the people in the school, she has to want to be friends with Buffy's enemy. 'Maybe it wont be so bad. Maybe they wont even be friends,' Buffy thought.
"How was your day?" Angel asked, wrapping his arms around Buffy's waist and kissing her.
"Mm, it was good, what about you?" she asked, pulling back slightly.
"Same old same old."
Buffy smiled and freed herself of her boyfriend's arms, "You guys all know Natalie, right?"
They all nodded with a few mumbles and Natalie shifted on her feet. She knew Buffy's friends were nice, and they always treated her with respect, it's just, they were Buffy's friends. And she wanted some friends to call her own. 'I don't get Buffy. Its like she doesn't want me to have any friends. I mean, what's so bad about Cordelia? She's popular, she's nice, she's rich, and she's totally cool. I don't see why Buffy hates her. She's probably just jealous,' Natalie thought.
"I heard about your little incident in class," Angel said.
"Yeah, well what can I say? I'm a bad girl," Buffy laughed.
"I like that idea," Angel purred, pulling her into him.
"Guys, public," Willow said.
The couple turned, their faces a bit pink from embarrassment. His arm slid down hers and the two connected hands. That's another thing, Natalie felt out of place with them, she was like the third wheel. They were all couples and she had no one. That's why she wanted to be friends with Cordelia. At least she was aware of her existence. 'I could probably just turn around and walk in the other direction and they'd never even notice I was gone. Hmm, that doesn't sound like a bad idea. Maybe I could meet some new people around here,' Natalie thought. Stopping, no one seemed to notice her staying back. She was after all in back of them all, and they were too occupied by one another to realize her. Slowly she walked backwards a few steps before turning around and walking around the corner they had just rounded. 'Nice,' she thought. 'Now where to-' Her thoughts were interrupted when she ran into someone.
Catching her balance, she didn't even bother to look up before shouting out, "Jesus, watch where you're going!"
"Like it was all my fault pet," came a British accent.
Lifting her eyes, Natalie saw the blonde that had ran from Buffy's house earlier that day. What was his name . . . Spike, yeah, Spike. Straightening herself, Natalie smiled at him, "Hi. Spike right?"
"That's me. Say, aren't you Buffy's little cousin?"
"I'm not little. But, yeah, I'm her cousin."
"So that means you're . . ." Spike asked, not wanting to say lesbian, he just left it at that hoping she'd catch on.
"Bi? Buffy told you; ugh I'm going to kill her. Its none of her business to be telling people," Natalie said.
"Bi? So, you're into guys to then?"
"That's what it means Sherlock. I like both guys and girls. I suppose this gets you all hot and bothered huh?" Natalie asked, starting to walk again.
"I-I," he stuttered, following her.
"I don't care you know, you cant help it or anything. Guys are like that," she said. "Change of subject. What are you doing following my cousin and her friends?"
"Who said I was following them luv?"
"Its only obvious you're into my cousin and well the fact that they were right around the corner kind of gave it away. I know you don't live that way, you live down there," she pointed down a street.
"Hey, I don't know what you're talking about. I do not like Buffy and I was not following her!"
"Mhm. Denial. Look, if it makes you feel any better, I think she likes you. I mean, when were talking about Cordelia, she was all jealous that she was all over you. But, I don't get why. Well, I get why she's jealous. But not why she's always so mean to Cordelia, she's nice," Natalie said, but Spike had stopped listening.
"Buffy likes me? I knew it!" he yelled.
"Listen, I never said she likes you for sure. So, don't go trying anything or you might get hurt. Literally."
"I know what I'm doing. Don't worry Bit," he said.
"What'd you just call me?"
"Bit." Natalie gave him a 'loser' look, "What? Bit means little. If you haven't looked in the mirror lately, you're pretty little yourself."
"I get it. So, where are you off to? Besides following Buffy and her friends?"
"I was not- I'm going to the Bronze, care to join?" Spike asked.
"Sure, not like they notice I was gone or anything," Natalie said.
Spike looked her over before smiling. She wasn't his type, but she was a good girl to talk to, especially to get some dirt on Buffy. 'Bloody hell, she likes me. What am I going to do?'
