Buffy opened her eyes when she heard her bedroom door slam shut. Natalie sat herself on the bed, causing it to shake. Buffy propped herself up on her elbows and glared at her cousin.
"I was having a pleasant nap."
"Oh, my bad. Didn't mean to wake you, just when I saw my sister and . . . Well, whoever, kind of needed to get out, you know?"
"Thankfully, no, I don't. So what happened to the book reading? Spike told me you were headed home and not to worry," Buffy said.
"Yeah, changed my plans."
"To?"
"Around. I met up with a few friends from school and we just chilled," she shrugged.
"Friends? The only friends you had were Cordelia and her posse, but by the looks of things, that's over."
"Okay, so maybe by friends I meant people I just met that were hanging around the theatre, but hey, still friends."
"I approve," Buffy said, smiling.
"Like I needed your approval," Natalie said. "But it's nice to have. So, how was the date??"
"Normal date like. Nothing out of the ordinary happened, at least not for my definition of ordinary. We ate dinner, kind of saw the movie than he drove me home and that brings me to hear. Oh and Willow called me. Not during the date, but when I got home. She found out about Spike and me. Somehow, Cordelia got it on the Internet and Willow being Willow saw it."
"What did she say?"
"She doesn't hate me. Which is a definite plus. But she isn't being all forgivey. I don't blame her though," Buffy said. "Now, if you'd excuse me, I'd like to get back to my napping."
"Sure thing. But um, do you mind if I keep the light on and read. I'm frightened to go anywhere's else," Natalie said, sitting on the cot.
"No, that's okay. Keep it on as long as you want," Buffy said, lying down on her bed and closing her eyes.
"Night Buff, sweet dreams."

Monday morning came quicker than Buffy wanted. As she was drying her wet hair, the phone started to ring. Letting a few curse words slip, she turned the hair dryer off and answered the phone.
"Hello."
'Hey luv. Just wondering if you wanted a drive to school.'
"Sure Spike. I'll be ready at . . ." Buffy glanced at her bedroom clock. It was only 7:15am. "Probably 8:00am, is that too late?"
'I'll be there.'
"Great, bye."
Buffy hung up the phone and continued drying her hair. She knew today would be an interesting day, even more so now that she was getting a drive with Spike. She knew that she shouldn't care what others thought of their relationship, and maybe if Willow wasn't mad, the others would be that way? Of course she knew they weren't just going to chum up to Spike, they're all friends with Angel. 'Angel, oh god, I never even thought . . . Who cares? He's with Cordelia now anyways, he's probably forgotten all about me.'
~~**~~
"Buffy is dating who?!" Angel yelled, as Willow informed the group of Buff's new relationship.
"She can't help who she likes," Willow said, trying to stand up for her best friend.
"I can't believe she's going out with Spike," Xander said. "I don't get why she never told us."
"Cause we wouldn't like it, duh. Angel's our friend and we all know how he, you, feel about Buffy. And Spike," Willow said. "But Buffy's our friend too and we should respect her feelings."
"There she is with Spike," Anya said. "I bet they've had sex in his car."
"Ahn," Xander said.
"Right. Inappropriate, I know."
~~**~~
Buffy slid out of the passenger seat of Spike's car. She grabbed her bag from the backseat and gently shut the door. Spike walked around the front, and Buffy waited patiently for him before taking his hand as they walked up the stairs to the school doors. Buffy saw her friends all standing together talking, and she felt like she should drop Spike's hand and return to them, but the idea disappeared when Spike started talking.
"Are you okay luv?"
"Huh? Yeah, I'm fine. Its just new," Buffy said. "Us, is new."
"You're telling me," Spike said. "So, how'd Bit get to school?"
"Um, she made a few new friends. She was gone by the time I woke up, my mom said she left early to hang out before school started."
"New friends? When'd this happen?"
"In-between the movie and the book reading. Which she did not do right away. She met some people from school, and I guess they liked her enough to want her to be in their group."
"Like your group did you. But now, that you're with me, they've shunned you."
"No, Spike, that's not true. Okay, maybe it is. But, I want to be with you right now, not them."
"Right now? So, in a few days you'll what? Just dump me?"
"That's not what I meant. Look, we've been over this already. If my friends don't like that I like you, they can not like it for all I care," Buffy said, leaning up and planting a kiss on his cheek.
"I'm sorry pet. I just don't want to lose you."
"You wont. Trust me. Now, I have to get to class, I have a test and I really need to get in some study time. I'll meet you here at lunch?"
"O' Course," Spike said, kissing her softly. "Now, go study."
"Bye," Buffy said before walking off with a smile on her face.
