Buffy pulled into the O'Connor's driveway and honked her horn twice. She saw Angel pull back the curtains in his room and flash his hand at her signaling five more minutes. She sighed and put the car in park. She didn't know why she even tried to make threats. He was late every time she agreed to pick him up. Why would this time be any different? She finally saw him walk out the door and turn to lock it. He threw his bag over his shoulder and made his way out to Buffy's car. She sucked in a breath when she saw his shirt was on, but not buttoned. His golden skin glowed in the morning sun. She had to close her eyes to keep from staring. He opened the door and climbed into the car and started to button his shirt.

"Hey. Let's go. We're going to be late."

She flashed him a look and he shrugged.

"And whose fault is that?"

"I dunno. Probably mine seeing as how you're 'lil miss perfect'."

"You got that right. Buckle up."

She pulled out of Angel's driveway and sped down the street. They had five minutes to get to school and not be tardy and they lived at least ten minutes away.

"You owe me! I'm going to get detention because of you!"

"Well, you want to go out on Saturday night?"

Buffy felt like she couldn't breath. She cleared her throat and glanced at him.

"Go out?"

"Yeah, like a date, to the movies?"

"Date?"

"Yeah. Polly want a cracker?"

Angel sighed, "Look Buff, you and me have been friends since before I can remember and I'm just sick of trying to have a relationship with girls that only want to be with me because they think I'm hot and popular. You love me for me. We always have fun together, so what do you say?"

Buffy went to say something but she couldn't form the words. She breathed in a couple of times and tried to keep the road from spinning.

"Uh..." She glanced at Angel again.

"Oh, I knew things were going to be weird. Just forget it. I was up till all hours thinking about the outcomes of my stupid proposal and I knew this was going to happen."

"No I mean, yeah sure, why not. I mean, we're best friends. What harm could come of it?"

He smiled and she wanted to melt. "Great!"

They pulled into the school parking lot just as the tardy bell rang. It was going to be a long day. But then again, she had a date with Angel.

Buffy escaped detention after she pulled the old flat tire excuse with Mr. Lopez and managed to make it through her next three periods. She was heading to lunch when she ran into her sister.

"Hey B. What's shakin?"

"Hey. How was your meeting with Snyder?"

"Oh, I got the "you're a delinquent and you'll never amount to anything" speech."

"Maybe we should sue him for emotional abuse."

"You think we could?" She just smiled at her sister.

"What? Hey, did you do the Chemistry? I totally don't understand it."

"Uh, yeah I did. Lucky for you, I know a Chemistry expert."

Buffy and Faith made their way to their usual table in the lounge. "Hey Will."

"Buffy. Faith. Hey!"

"Uh, you think you could help Faith with the Chemistry?"

"B, I meant did you do the Chemistry as in can I copy it. I love Red, but she makes me work!"

"That's the point. Now, sit down and I'll try to explain it."

Faith groaned and sat down next to the red head. Buffy sat down next to Xander and opened her lunch.

"Hey Xand. What are you up to?"

"Oh nothing. I have to read this stupid story for English," Xander suddenly realized that he didn't care and slammed his book shut, throwing it on the floor.

"So anyway, how's life?"

"Oh, its good today. How about you?"

"Well, let's recap. I have no girlfriend. I spent my weekend watching reruns of bad movies and 'I Love Lucy', I'm so boring my goldfish died to get away from me, and I was actually looking forward to coming to school today."

"Wow, sounds more boring than usual. Sorry to hear about your goldfish."

"We hadn't really had time to connect. It wasn't meant to be." Buffy scanned the cafeteria looking for Angel. She hadn't seen him all day and school was almost over.

"Hey, have you guys seen Angel?"

Faith looked up at her sister and smiled. "Yeah, I saw him and Jill go into the gym earlier. Wonder what they're up to." Faith smirked devilishly and Buffy turned very pale and got up.

"Excuse me." She ran to the bathroom. She stood at the sink and splashed some cold water on her face.

How could I have been so stupid? I'm his best friend all right. I know exactly how he works. God!

She wiped her face and went back out to get her bags.

"I'll see you guys later."

"Buff? Buffy? What's wrong?"

She just kept walking.
