William's Change

Chapter Two:

He walked towards the cafeteria, his duster swinging behind him. He had

survived so far and he hoped that he wouldn't screw his "new look" up by his shyness

showing through. But so far, he was doing great. As he pushed open the doors and

scanned the crowd of eating students for his friends, he heard a male voice call out, "Yo,

Spike!" He turned to the direction of the voice and saw Angelus waving to him.

Walking over to the table of the 'Bad Crowd', he began to get nervous. He looked around

at them, his eyes momentarily pausing on Buffy, who was smirking with a raised

eyebrow.

"Well?" he asked impatiently. "Haven't got all day, you know."

Drusilla purred up at him seductively, "Well, Spike, we were just wondering what

spurred such a change in you."

"Hmm, I s'pose it was a girl," he replied, thinking of a way to get himself out of

his situation. He noticed Angelus and Parker nodding understandingly. "But then again,

maybe I was tired of being a bloody pathetic school boy and wanted a change. Who

knows?" He walked away calmly, not turning back.
