They entered the math class and took their seats with Willow and Xander. Spike and Xander began talking in mumbling voices. The girls looked at them and they nodded to each other and their conversation ended. Willow looked at her best friend and thought she doesn't look too good. I wonder what's wrong. Buffy looked at her and asked, "Can we talk?" "Sure, what's up?" "Spike." Buffy answered. "What about him?" "He told me he wanted to talk." "And...?" Willow said not fully understanding what was going on. "What if it's bad news?" Buffy asked. "You'll never know unless you talk to him." Willow pointed out. "I know but ..." Buffy trailed off not wanting to say what was on her mind. What if her wants to break up with me? "He could be asking you to the dance." "Really! You think so?" Buffy excitedly said. All doubts erased from her mind. "Maybe." "Yea!" Spike tapped Buffy's shoulder. Then laid his hand on it. There was something under his hand, a piece of paper. Must be a note she thought. She held his hand understanding why he tapped her and the moved his hand so she could take it. She did and went to read it. Then Spike whispered something she could barely hear but it sounded like "Later." She didn't understand but nodded and put the note in her purse to read later. They sat listening to the teacher drone on about some civil war in Spain until the bell finally rang. Buffy got out of the class faster than Spike and quickly read his note:
Honey, I love you
Today I told you I'd always be there
And that will always be true
This is just to let you know that I care
Love always, Spike

After Buffy read the note, she almost cried and stood outside waiting for Spike to come out. He came out looking for her and when he didn't see her he looked at the ground and began walking to art with Willow. He was down. Spike had expected Buffy to read the note and want to see him but it seems like she didn't want to. Then out of nowhere a blonde snuck up behind him and wrapped her arms around him, surprising him. He turned and looked at her confused. "What was that for?" "Just because." She said with a grin on her face. He just smiled back finally understanding what the grin was from. He pulled her close and whispered, "It's true you know" just before he gave her a kiss on the cheek. She smiled nodded and gave him a kiss back. "I've got to go hun, foreign language." "What language hun?" "Espanol. Y tu?" "No, Tengo un clase de lenguas." "Oh, lo siento. Adios, Hasta la vista baby." "Now that luv I can understand." "Got to run meet me here after class." "I'll meet you at your locker." "Where is it?" "Just meet here I'll take you to it." "Oh ok. Bye hun." "Bye luv." As Spike and Willow headed to art, Xander went to History all alone. He kept looking back at Spike and feeling jealous. Then he shook his head, why should he be jealous of Spike?
