AN: It took me quite a while, but I finally managed to end my twelfth
chapter. Angel is angry and finds the perfect victim in Buffy.
Chapter 12
Angel was angry. Anger didn't even begin to describe what he was feeling, he was furious. At Buffy, who was supposed to be his girl. He was so kind to defend her honour, not that it mattered much, and what did that little bitch do to repay him? Sneak around his back, again! First that guy 'brought her home' and now she lurked until she saw a chance to be with him. So Angel waited for his girlfriend. Well, he had been planning to dump her a few days already, but this was going to make it so much sweeter. After the dump he would make sure her reputation would be that of an easy girl. Gone was her capability of head cheerleader, her popularity and her many friends. What'd remain was a tiny sniffling heap of Buffy.
Angel grinned at this sight of the future. At that moment Buffy entered the room and he stood up to wait for her.
"Oh Angel, I didn't expect you here."
"Your mother had to go out but said I could wait."
"Right."
Buffy was a bit confused about the behaviour of her boyfriend. After coming back from his run in with William, Angel had avoided her. Finding him in her home, waiting to talk, was new.
"So, why did you come?"
"I'm your boyfriend, do I need a reason?"
He watched her hesitation and sighed, playing the part of the betrayed boyfriend.
"I guess I do nowadays. Most of the time you probably don't know if or William that you're kissing."
"Come on, Buffy, don't play innocent with me. I've seen you looking at him. Even when you said he disgusted you, you secretly wanted him. And you were jealous at Dru!"
"That's not true!"
"Where were you yesterday, Buffy?"
She was surprised by the change in subject.
"What do you mean?"
"After me and the Englishman fought, where were you?"
"I. . ."
"Don't fucking lie to me girl, you were with him. Some of my mates saw you two together. But you know what? That's okay, I couldn't stand being around such a brain-dead chick anyway. See ya, Buffy."
Angel even had the nerve to grin and slammed the door behind him.
The next morning when Buffy walked into the hallway, all eyes were on her. She had her sunglasses on, because her eyes were a bit red from crying. It was not so much Angel dumping her, but the things he had said. When she was near the lockers of the jocks, one of them jumped in front of her with a five dollar bill in his hands.
"Quit it, you moron! What are you doing?"
"This is how much Angel thinks you're worth. So what do you think?"
She pushed past him and ignored the howls that followed her. When she was around the corner, they began to shout: "Hail Slutty!"
Buffy couldn't take it anymore and ran. On her way out she almost bumped into William, who was talking to Xander and Willow.
"What's wrong with her?"
"Nothing. So tell us, how did you split that lip?"
"Angel. Now say it, why's the cheerleader so upset?"
"Same reason." Xander said. "Angel dumped her. . . He did the same with Dru, making people believe she was a whore, worth nothing, and was almost too stupid to write her own name."
William smiled sadly as he heard the name of his Dru. He missed her, but he didn't want to play second fiddle.
"The poor chit."
"Poor chit, nothing. She deserves it."
Xander and William were surprised, although only William had absolutely no idea what it was about. Usually Willow was never so harsh.
"What did she do to you, Willow?"
"She stole my boyfriend, just for the fun of it."
"I'm s. . ."
"She didn't even like him, Will! It was just for fun."
William watched as Xander hugged their friend. He felt pity for the redhead, but something else worried him more. He still had sympathy for Buffy.
