Buffy and Angel had both agreed to keep their blossoming relationship between the two of them until they were sure that things were going to work out. It was hard because Buffy wanted to tell Willow that her dreams had finally come true, and Angel just wanted to shout from the roof tops how great Buffy was and how she made him the happiest guy in the world. The gang sat around the living room, books cracked to the chapters on Congress, studying away and filling in their reviews. Buffy and Angel sat with their legs underneath the coffee table, holding hands discretely. Buffy doodled her name on the top of her paper, and Willow scolded her, "Buffy, you're never going to learn this if you don't concentrate. The material is there, all you have to do is read it and know it."
"But Will, why do I have to know how a Bill is made? It's just nonsensical nonsense!"
"And we're worrying about your Government?"
Buffy threw a pillow at Xander across the room and accidentally hit Cordelia.
"Ouch! God! You know the only reason I'm here is because I'm two points away from failing and Willow said she could help. Otherwise, I wouldn't be caught dead with you losers."
"And you know what the funny thing is? I think there was a compliment in there somewhere. For Willow at least."
"Guys, come on! We're going to be here all night."
Everyone finally got their focus back, and they studied until 10. Buffy felt confident that she was going to pass the test and her and Willow were curled up on the couch, talking.
"So, have you started looking for your Prom dress yet?"
"Well, me and mom went shopping a while back, but I didn't find anything that looked decent. But, I'm thinking that since its finally spring, they're going to have some good stuff out, so I was going to see if we could go on Saturday. You want to come with?"
Willow smiled and nodded wildly, "Yes! I was going to go look this weekend by myself, but it will be much more fun with you."
Buffy smiled and stole a glance at Angel who was making conversation with Xander while staring off into space.
"So who do you think you're going to go with," Willow prodded.
"Oh, I don't know. Nobody's asked me."
"I know they will though. You could have your pick of any guy at school. Any chance Angel might ask you?"
"I heard he was going with Jill," Cordelia broke in.
Buffy shot daggers at her," He broke up with Jill today."
"Well, that's just what I heard. I'm leaving. Thanks for the stimulating study session," she rolled her eyes as she walked out.
"You think she'll ever change," Willow asked.
"Never. I don't know. I guess there's always a possibility that Angel might ask me. What about you?"
Not being able to tell Willow about the recent developments with Angel was killing Buffy. She just wanted to gush about how great he was, but it just wasn't the time yet.
"Well, you know Oz?"
"Guitar guy?"
"Yeah. Well, we've been talking a lot lately. I don't know, but I'm kinda hoping he might ask me."
"Look at Willow, going for the naughty musicians."
The red head blushed, "He's not naughty. He's so nice, and funny and smart. I mean, he doesn't talk much, but we just kinda, click."
"Well, then I give you all my luck."
Willow smiled, "Thanks."
Buffy decided to save Angel and include the guys in their conversation.
"So, we were just talking about Prom. Who are you guys thinking about asking?"
"Well," Xander began, "I'm not really sure of who I might want to ask. I'm thinking I'll wait until the week of 'the main event' and then all the girls who don't have dates will want to go with dateless guy."
Buffy laughed, "Good strategizing there, Xand. What about you Angel?"
"Well, I was thinking about asking this girl, but I'm not sure if she'd want to go with me."
"Hello Angel, you're only the hottest guy on campus. Every girl want to go with you," Willow blushed at her forwardness. Angel smiled.
"Thanks Willow. You're not too bad yourself," he said as he winked at her.
"So, Angel, who is this babe? Do I know her?"
"Probably. But she's not a 'babe'."
Buffy's smile faded.
"She's much, much more beautiful than that."
"Damn, sounds like you're falling hard. So what's her name?"
Angel smiled and didn't say another word.
"Oh, come on now. You gotta tell us who it is," Xander prodded.
"Yeah, who is your mystery date Angel," Willow joined in.
But all Angel could do was stare at Buffy.
