Chapter 5
AN: Has it been almost a week? Damn, gotta find more time to write! Okay, here goes chapter 5. William is the new hero and Angel doesn't like it one bit. And the person who doesn't care? Yup, William!
When William came to school the next morning, the atmosphere had changed. A few people who had not noticed he existed, now greeted him like he was an old friend. He opened his locker to get his books when he heard an amused voice next to him.
"Will, here is the bully! We finally found him!"
"Quit it, Xander."
Willow slapped the boy on the arm. William was happy that at least they didn't see him in another way. He grinned at Xander and hooked his arm in Willows.
"So tell me, what's all the talk about?"
"You of course! You really showed Angel! How did you do that?"
"I've watched him from the moment he pushed me against that locker. He can use his fists, but I don't think he even took defence classes."
"You practice martial arts?"
"A bit, I've been out of it since I moved here. I just lost my temper yesterday. It shouldn't have happened."
"I'm glad you did! It was abou. . ."
William looked behind him as Xander stopped talking. He watched as Angel and Buffy walked by, hand in hand. Their eyes shot daggers at him, but neither made an attempt to provoke him. When they were out of hearing range, Xander resumed his speech.
"You showed us that he's not invincible. You don't step aside and that's great. We liked it, didn't we, Will?"
"Sure did."
"It didn't take you as a bloodthirsty type, luv."
"Buffy is an exception."
William quircked his eyebrow in question but Willow didn't speak any further. He decided to ask Xander later.
They went to their classes and William realised he had the first two hours together with Angel and Buffy. He made sure he sat at the far corner of the room, so he could keep an eyes on them. He wasn't about to let them surprise him again. He forgot all about his plans when he saw Druscilla enter the room. Cor, she was a vision! She smiled at him before sitting at the other side of the classroom.
The teacher came into the room and started his lesson. William kept glancing sideways towards Druscilla. Suddenly a small paper fell on his desk. The boy in front of him shrugged and turned forward. He unfolded the paper and read; "Tonight - Park - Fair fight."
William looked up and saw Angel staring at him. He grinned and showed the other young man the piece of paper. He crumpled it inhis fist and very slowly, so that he surely couldn't miss it, flipped Angel the bird.
"Fuck." He heard Angel whisper.
"Did you say something, Angel?"
"No, sir."
"Good, then we can proceed."
Angel stormed out the first change he got; Buffy ran behind him and William almost laughed at the odd sight. It looked like she was chasing him. He turned around and faced Druscilla.
"Dru?"
"Hello William."
"Did you think about my question?"
She nodded and smiled. "I'd love to go out with you."
William refrained himself from running down the hallway, screaming like a madman. Instead he looked at the beautiful girl in front of him.
"Great, luv. Tomorrow night? I'll pick you up at eight."
"I'll be there."
Angel in the mean time was furious. That insulent bastard! First he took him completely by surprise and then he refused a fair fight.
"Angel? Are you okay?"
"How stupid are you? Of course I'm not okay! That bastard of an Englishman is getting on my nerves."
"You don't have to insult me, I was just concerned."
He sighed. That William was not het only one that was getting on his nerves. But he endured Buffy, for now.
"Come here."
He embraced her and stroked her hair what he hoped assuringly.
"I'm sorry, baby. You know I didn't mean it like that."
"You'll get him somehow, baby."
Angel gently laid her head against his shoulder so she wouldn't see the grin on his face. William wasn't the only one he was going to get.
