Feedback: Suggestions are really helpful also criticism. I haven't exactly decided on the next chapter but I think that it will most likely be Angel's point of view.
Summary: AU Buffy and Angel both like the other but neither is willing to say it.
Note: I decided to have this chapter featuring just Buffy's POV. Thanks to the suggestion of BCW friendship I've tried to stick 'em together. (It gave me something to work off of) I would really like to thank you to all that reviewed I wasn't really sure if this story was going to continue but I decided to try another chapter. Anyway on with the story!
"Ring!" The school bell sounded signaling that the day was over and still all I can think about is Xander. It's strange I guess, that I would be thinking about him this much. I never thought that another guy could do this to me, I thought that Angel was the only guy for me but hey, maybe I was wrong. I smile to the world knowing that tonight I will be on a date with the hot new star basketball player. Sorry I forgot to mention that didn't I? Last period after lunch Cordy (who sits beside me in that class (Social studies)) rambled on about the new guy. She happened to run into him right after I deserted him. She helped him find his class and learned a lot about him. I told Cordy that we were going out tonight and she was very excited for me and I bet a bit jealous although she isn't exactly single.
Cordy told me that she would help me get all glamored up after school. She even said that she would lend me some of her clothes. Of course I agreed, Cordy has the best wardrobe ever. I asked her to tell Angel that I wouldn't need a ride home, since I'd be going to her house after school and she had last period with him. Cordelia nodded and she mentioned that she'd be bringing her sorta boyfriend Doyle to the Bronze tonight. I'm relieved about having someone else attending with me. I'd get so nervous with just Xander and me. Jeez I'd mess up and he'd laugh and... I can't get myself down nothing bad has happened... yet!
I run out of the class and down the hall slamming straight into Willow. "Hey Willow," I exclaim bending down to pick up her books that I clumsily knocked out of her hands.
"Hey Buff, where you off to in such a rush?" Willow asked while I gave her books back.
"Um I'm going over to Cordelia's she agreed to help me get ready," I explained hurriedly while I look down the hall to the clock. Oh my it's four already how long have I been thinking?
"Ready?... Ready for what?" Willow questions looking at me strangely. I don't think that Willow has ever seen me so preoccupied. Willow was another of my great friends. We're really close. I can't believe I haven't told her about my day yet but then again I haven't seen her until well right now. Willow was my first girl friend... oh that doesn't sound right does it? I mean she was the first friend I had that was a girl. I hope I explained that right, anyway one day in grade two I realized that I had become just one off the guys. Even at that young age I knew that one- day later on even I couldn't talk to Angel about some things. Lipstick being one and hair and also which color pink offsets so I branched out and Willow has been there for me ever since.
Later in about grade seven we decided to do some more branching and Cory joined our group. She had been stuck with Harmony as her best friend for a while. Harmony one day made the mistake of mistaking a Gucci skirt for a prada. Ah the sparks flew and Cordy left Harmony forever. Willow and me decided to befriend her since she was the captain of the cheerleaders and was all around a popular person (I know we were a bit vain back then but we just wanted to fit in). Anyway you get the picture we became like Charlie's Angels or something. The three of use girls helped each other all the time. Like today and by the way now I haven't said anything to Willow in like two minuets. I'm gonna answer her now, "Oh um sorry Willow, I haven't told you about my terrific day. Walk and talk Kay?" I asked her rhetorically grabbing Willow's hand and barging out the doors.
Cordy was waiting out front in her Queen C car. I could tell since she'd been honking her horn and after you've know her for awhile you kinda get used to the honk. "See Willow the new guy... You seen him around yet?" I asked but cut her off before she could answer, "He asked me out tonight. So Cordy's gonna help me with the whole getting ready thing cuz I wanna look great and all and..." I was dramatically cut off with a tap on the shoulder.
I turned around and found Cordy looking annoyed, "Jeez Buff what's taking you all this time? Oh hey Willow," Cordy said looking from one to the other and figuring out that I was just telling Will all about my date. "I'm guessing Buffy's been telling you about her BD," I should mention that Cordelia's been getting really friendly with her acronyms lately. I guess that this one was standing for Big Date. I looked over to Willow who nodded. "Willow you wanna help me dazzle this damsel up?" Cordy exclaimed nodding over to me.
Willow turned to me and then looked down at her books. Although Willow was technically popular and always in the in crowd she still was a true teacher's pet at heart. I'm guessing that she was making the decision on either to help us or do something school related. As Willow began to say no thanks I've got something else I'd better get done (I know her well enough to understand that look in her face) a guy strode past us. A hunk of a guy that I'm sure I'd seen before, but where?
"Hey Willow," He said as we all turned sideways to watch him walk by, "You coming to the Bronze tonight? The bands playing..." The guy seemed hopeful as he stared into Willow's eyes. I'm thinking that this guy would be changing Will's mind. Just the way she looked at him...
"Yeah sure you guys are great, wouldn't miss it," Willow rambled. Yup she's got that love bug good. Seems it's going around. The guy nodded and took off down towards the parking lot.
"So I'm guessing I've got another candidate for my makeover project, huh?" Cordelia mentioned. Will just nodded and we all walked over towards the car that was waiting. Getting in Cordy started the ignition and turned the radio on full blast. Something by Alanis Morset blared into our ears. It seemed just right for our girl-oriented night that was awaiting us.
"So Willow, who's that guy you've got drooling all over you," I giggled turning around to Willow who had taken the backseat.
Willow just shook her head and said, "That guy would be Oz, or that's what everyone calls him. He's in this band, they're awesome and he's really smart. He's got good grades and has like the best test scores of anyone. Last year he didn't go to college though. It's funny he's got like the best score of anyone not to pass," Willow explained in a girly tone. I called it didn't I? Will and this guy were defiantly gonna go all couple- ly on us soon. At least she really liked him, and judging by Oz's stare I bet he's got it good too.
"Sounds like the guys got some potential," Cordy yelled trying to overtake the music.
Thank-you for reading!
