Buffy sat at her desk in the last class of the day. Her test that morning had gone smoothly, and she was sure she'd passed. That meant her mother wouldn't be arguing with her about going out with Spike or Natalie. She opened her book just as the bell rang and looked up as Willow made her way over. They were assigned to sit next to each other, and although Buffy knew Willow wasn't that mad at her, it just felt uncomfortable.
"Hi," Willow said softly.
"Hey."
"How are you?"
"Considering all my friends are angry at me, not too good."
"They're Angel's friends too Buff. You can't expect them to just side with you," she said.
"I don't. But how is Angel being with Cordelia any more different than me with Spike?"
"Okay class, today we're going to be discussing . . ." the teacher's words stopped their conversation and the two girls turned their attention to the front of the room.

"Hi Spike," Buffy said, walking up to him and planting a kiss on his lips.
"You ready to go pet?"
"If you are," she said, taking his hand as they started toward his car. They were only a few steps away from the sidewalk when someone stepped out, blocking their way.
"Hate to disturb, but I was wondering if I could bum a ride?" Natalie asked, peering up at her cousin and friend. "You can drop me off wherever you're going."
"Course Bit," Spike said, unlocking his car. "Where are you headed?"
"Home I suppose. Hey Buff, I saw Angel today."
"And? I saw him too. We do go to the same school you know?" Buffy said, sliding into the seat.
"Yeah, but I actually said more than two words to him. You see, I was just sitting around, minding my own business when Angel came over to me. He started talking about how it was bullshit that you were dating Spike and that I should conspire with him to break you two up. Of course, I went off at him, telling him he had no right to say that and such. And he got angry, started with the name calling like we were two years old or something. I just shook him off," Natalie said, leaning forward from the backseat. Spike wasn't really paying attention to her as he started the car and pulled out onto the street. She didn't mind though, she knew he wasn't that fond of Angel. At the moment, she wasn't either. "Anyways, he wanted me to give you something Buff. I hesitated but thought it wouldn't hurt so accepted his mission. Here it is. I don't know what it is so there will be no blaming of me if it is a bomb or something, k?"
She pulled out a tiny box with a small card attached to it by ribbon. She handed it to Buffy and her cousin stared at it with confusion. Spike looked a little angry, glancing at Buffy and the package she held in her grasp. He wanted to open it himself, make sure it wasn't a love note that would send Buffy crawling on her knees back to that Poof, or even worse, something to harm his precious girl.
Slowly Buffy removed the ribbon and looked over the card. A small note was printed on one side:
This belongs to you
Confused, she lifted the top off the box, revealing the Claddagh Ring Angel had given to her. She was surprised. That was the last thing she had expected from him.
"What is it?" Natalie asked.
"Huh? Oh, its nothing."
"Got to be something luv," Spike said.
"Really, its nothing. Just an attempt at getting back with me. But don't worry Spike, it was only an attempt," Buffy said, taking his hand. She passed the ring and its box back to Natalie. "Tell Angel that it never belonged to me."
"Huh?"
"Just do it for me please Nat," Buffy said.
"Okay okay, I'll tell him tomorrow."
