Title: The Bet
Summary: Buffy is the punk/gothic girl at Sunnydale high. She is known as part of the "freak group". Spike is the popular guy that every guy wants to be and every girl wants to be with, except for Buffy. He makes a bet with his friends that he could make her fall for him but what happens when he falls for her and she finds out that all she was a bet??

.:A/N:. Thanks for the reviews so far, even Das, I like them all. Um, I already had a freaking chapter written. Them my freaking computer went and freaking crashed! Ah, I lost EVERYTHING! All my chapters to every story I've written. I'm so mad!
~*~
Spike followed Buffy into a small building. The air surrounding him was smoky and smelt of alcohol. There were two floors to the building. On the first, it was more of a dancing area, with couples filling the space. Up on the second, was more of a place to sit and relax. Buffy walked up the stairs, Spike close behind and sat in one of the chairs. Spike didn't.
"What about our dances luv?"
"Yeah, whatever." Buffy sighed, standing again.
She walked with him down to the first floor and the two just stood there for a minute. Then, Buffy began to move her body to the music. Spike watched her, amazed at how she was so in tune, and then he joined in.
~Blurring and stirring the truth and the lies
so I don't know what's real and what's not
always confusing the thoughts in my head
so I can't trust myself anymore
I'm dying again
I'm going under
drowning in you
I'm falling forever
I've got to break through
so go on and scream
scream at me I'm so far away
I won't be broken again
I've got to breathe I can't keep going under~
Buffy began to walk off when she felt his hand on her arm. He pulled her back to him and stared deep into her eyes.
"Still owe me one more dance pet."
Buffy sighed and allowed him to wrap his arms around her waist. She wrapped hers around his neck and rested her head on his chest. What could one slow dance do? It wasn't like she was starting to like him. 'I am not falling for him!' Buffy thought. 'He's an ignorant, mean, selfish jock who ruined our friendship for girls and popularity. Just because you are dancing really close does not mean we are going to go to the back of the club and make out. Why don't you just stop thinking?'
"What are you thinking about?" Spike asked, looking down on her.
"Nothing. We're supposed to be dancing. That means no talk."
~ Have you ever found the one
You've dreamed of all of your life
You'd do anything to look into their eyes
Have you finally found the one you've given your heart to
Only to find that one won't give their heart to you
Have you ever closed your eyes and
Dreamed that they were there
And all you can do is wait for the day when they will care
Have you ever loved somebody so much
It makes you cry
Have you ever needed something so bad
You can't sleep at night
Have you ever tried to find the words
But they don't come out right
Have you ever, have you ever
What do I gotta do to get you in my arms baby
What do I gotta say to get to your heart
To make you understand how I need you next to me
Gotta get you in my world
'Cause baby I cant sleep
Have you ever loved somebody so much
It makes you cry
Have you ever needed something so bad
You can't sleep at night
Have you ever tried to find the words
But they don't come out right
Have you ever, have you ever~
Buffy pulled away from Spike's comforting hold and the two made their way back up to where they were seated. Buffy looked at him, before standing up again.
"Well, I gave you your dances, now can we go?" Buffy said. "Or, you can go your way and I'll go my way."
"We live the same way pet." Spike said.
"Right."
"I'll walk you home."
"I'm fine by myself." Buffy said.
"I insist." Spike said, also standing.
"Well go insist somewhere else cause I don't need your assistance."
Buffy was almost to the door when Spike ran after her. She gave up. 'Why is he so anxious to walk me home anyway? Its not like we went on a date.' They came up to her house and he walked her up to the door.
"I had a great time tonight luv."
"Whatever."
His face moved closer to hers and she closed her eyes. Their lips touched and what started as a soft kiss, grew into something more passionate. Buffy was trying to deny that she liked it, trying to hold back but she couldn't, no matter how much she wanted to. Hearing something move inside, she pulled away from his arms once again. They stood in silence before Spike disappeared into the darkness. Buffy watched him go before heading inside.
~*~
"You kissed her?" Parker asked, the next day at school.
"Yeah and it was a bloody good one." Spike said.
Spike didn't dare admit how much the kiss really meant to him. Or how much Buffy was beginning to mean to him.
"Hey guys, what's happening?" Xander asked, approaching the two.
"Spike kissed Buffy." Parker said.
"You mean you and Buffy made with the smoochies?"
~*~
"You mean you and Spike made with the smoochies?" Willow asked, that same day.
The two girls sat at "their" lunch table. Buffy had filled Willow in on last night. Maybe leaving out how much she enjoyed the dances, not to mention the kiss.
"Yeah."
"That's not good." Willow said. "Its not good right?"
"No! It's very not good." Buffy said.
"Why not? So what now, you like Spike?"
"I do not like Spike. God, how could you even say that? We're . . . We're enemies. The kiss, it never happened as far as I'm concerned at it will never happen again." Buffy said.
"Well, you two did have a past of liking." Willow said.
"Maybe, but it was never like that. We were just really close friends, and he ruined it. I don't want to ever see him again." Buffy said.
~*~
Willow and Buffy sat in Ms. Calendar's class after lunch. The two were paying very little attention as to what she was rambling on about, that is until she heard her name.
". . . And Buffy."
"What?" Buffy asked.
"You and William will be working on an at home project together, is there a problem?" Ms. Calendar asked.
"N-No." Buffy said.
"Does either of you have a computer?"
"I do." Buffy said.
"Great, then I'm sure you two will get along, at least for the time being." Ms. Calendar said.
'There goes my whole not wanting to see Spike again idea. Looks like we're going to spend some extra time, alone, in my house, without parents. Well, there was Willow's brother. I just hope nothing happens like on our date. No, I did not just think date. Unthink it. Unthink it now.' Buffy thought.
"Buffy?" Willow asked.
"Huh?"
"So you and Spike are working together." Willow said. "That should be interesting."
"Yes it should." Buffy mumbled to herself as she turned in her seat.
