Unknown: LoL. Thanks, you just gave me a great idea for this story!
Karmawiccan: Yeah, typo, sorry. It is actually "stars" not "stairs". I'll fix that.
Buffy had met up with Faith that morning before school. She had decided that she was going to tell Faith about Spike, about her feelings. She needed to tell someone, and she knew that Faith would never spill her secret.
"Hey Faith," Buffy said, looking over at her twin as they started their walk to school.
"Yeah B?"
"I need to tell you something," she said. "And you have to promise that you won't tell a single soul."
"I promise. What's up?" she asked.
"It's Spike," Buffy said. "I think I may be-. . In love with him. God, you can't tell him Faith, you promised."
"Chill B. I won't tell," Faith assured. "Wow though. When'd this happen?"
"I'm not really sure. But a while ago. Before you got kicked out anyway," Buffy said. "I was going to tell him, but I couldn't."
"So that's why you've been avoidy girl lately," she said. "Well, only one way to settle this."
"What? Faith, I need all the help I can get," Buffy begged.
"You tell him," she said, pushing her sister forward before running off past her.
Buffy looked up and saw Spike walking towards her. He stopped when Faith ran past him, and watched her disappear before turning back to Buffy.
"What was that about luv?"
"I think she was trying to help me," Buffy said.
"Did it work?" he asked, curious.
"Not sure yet," she said. 'And I'm not sure if I want to ever find out,' she thought.
"Heard about you and Captain Cardboard," he said as the two started to walk. "Sorry luv. Knew you really liked the bloke."
"I did," she said. "But things changed, and so did my feelings."
"Crushing on someone else now, are we?" he asked. 'Bloody hell,' Spike thought. 'I bleedin' hope not. Gotta make my move sometime.'
"Um-. . No one. . Specific," Buffy said, unsurely.
"I broke up with Dru," Spike said, randomly.
"Wow," Buffy said, stopping. She put a hand on his shoulder. "You okay?"
"Yeah," he said, shrugging and they started to walk again. "Wasn't meant to be."
"So how about you? You crushing on someone new?" she asked, acting calm, but inside she was bursting with excitement. 'Oh my god!' she thought. 'He broke up with Dru! How great is that? Now I can tell him how I feel, and we can be together.' She frowned. 'Who am I kidding?'
"Somethin like that, yeah," he said.
Buffy nodded and shifted her bag on her shoulder. The school was growing near, and Buffy's chances of telling him how she felt were starting to disappear. She wanted to just kiss him. He was so close to her, his shoulder rubbing against hers, she could just reach out and touch him.
"Well, I believe this is our stop," he said, stopping in front of the stairs.
Angel, his friends, and Faith were gathered at the top of the stairs, all engaged in conversation, but all of them watching the two blondes out of the corner of their eyes. Spike looked up at them, and so did Buffy, before returning to look at one another.
She smiled. "I'll see you in history?"
"Um-. . Yeah," he said.
"Great, bye," Buffy said, waving slightly before turning to go up the stairs.
"Hey Buffy!" Spike yelled after her.
She stopped halfway up the stairs and turned to see him running towards her.
"How about you met me 'ere at lunch?" he asked. "We need to talk."
"Sure thing," Buffy said. "Lunch time, here. Can do."
Spike nodded before disappearing down the stairs and over to where his friends waited. Buffy smiled as she headed back up the stairs to Angel, Riley, Gunn, Wes, Fred, Faith and Riley.
"Yo B," Faith said. "You two-. ."
"Walked to school together, yeah," Buffy said, cutting her sister off. She gave her an "I'll tell you later" look before turning to the group.
"Hi Buffy," Riley said.
"Riley," she said. "Hey."
"Um, maybe we should go. ." Fred said, gathering her books. "Leave you two alone."
"No Fred, thanks. I have to get to class. Get in some extra cramming before the test," Buffy said.
"We'll see you at lunch?" Faith asked.
"Actually, I'm meeting Spike. But I'll meet you after school, and walk with you to Giles. "
"Sure thing," Faith said. "Later B."
"Bye," Buffy said before leaving.
