Title: Lonely No More 2- Grow Up

Author: Static-Disturbed

Summary: Yes kiddies I'm back with more of Angel, Buffy and Williams's adventures in my little demented world. I told you there would be a sequel. Well schools back in session and its senior year. You know what that means, all kinds of good stuff, identity crisis, relationship troubles, all that good crap. Also this story will focus a bit more on problems of other characters (Xander and Faith and Crystal being some of the main ones) and hopefully won't suck. I mean...I've seen Speed 2...sequels are usually problematic. So hopefully I will do Lonely No More justice. And my other stories will be updated...eventually. Song is 'Grow Up' by Simple Plan. Buy their C.D. I feel the need to plug the band shamelessly if I'm gonna use their lyrics. Buy Simple Plan's C.D 'No Pads', No Helmet's...Just Balls'. LOL, I love that title.

Disclaimer: Like the last story I do not own any of the characters you have seen previously seen on BTVS or ANGEL. I own Angel's siblings, Buffy's sibling, and uhh all the other characters you never saw on the show. Song is owned by SIMPLE PLAN. Buy their C.D. I don't think anyone wants this story but if you wanna put it somewhere just write it in ur review.

This is who I am

And this what I like

GC, Sum and Blink and Mxpx rocking my room

If you're looking for me

I'll be at the show

I could never find a better place to go

The battered car pulled up to the curb of Sunnydale High with a cloud of thick, gray smoke trailing behind. Inside three very un-anxious teenagers stared up at the building through tired eyes with a mixture of dread, disgust and sadness.

"I don't wanna do it", Angel said finally, scratching his head through newly died blue hair.

"Don't got much of a choice", William declared cutting the engine of the car. Over the summer William, or Spike as more people were calling him these days, hadn't changed much about himself. Just like he had decided the last day of school he had spent the summer sleeping, eating, hanging with his girlfriend and of course seeing some shows. That's how they all had. Of course Buffy had spent a week in L.A with her grandmother. Otherwise the three of them had spent most of the summer together. A few trips to L.A to see some bands play, many trips to the mall where they, like any self- respecting punk teenagers would, caused a bit of mishap and dismay and of course lounging in each others houses contemplating their extremely dull lives in Sunnydale. But it had been the best summer of their lives. Buffy and Angel were so in love it was enough to make passer by's sick and William and Drusilla were still in the beginning phases of a very serious relationship.

Until the day I die I promise I wont change

So u better give up

I don't wanna be told to grow up

And I don't wanna change

I just wanna have fun

I wanna be told to grow up

And I don't wanna change

So u better give up

Cause I'm not gonna change

I don't wanna grow up

Without any other choice the three climbed from the car not really looking forward to the taunting and staring that came with being different in a small town like Sunnydale. Buffy held Angel's hand tightly in hers. She really didn't want to go back to school. Things had been so much simpler without certain people around constantly judging them and ridiculing them. Buffy, like Spike, hadn't really changed much over the summer. Her hair was shorter but other than that she was still the same old Buffy. She wore black cargo capri pants and a t-shirt advertising Oz's band 'The Dingoes Ate My Baby'. The only major change in her life over the summer was the fact that her mother and Giles had gotten engaged and the wedding was to take place in a few weeks. She and Crystal would be brides' maids.

The spikes in Angel's hair were now blue but beside that fact he looked just like he always did dressed in baggy black pants and a 'Batman' t-shirt. Over the summer he had grown closer to his brother and sister who had suddenly begun to get along. His physical appearance wasn't much different but mentally Angel had changed drastically. He had a new outlook on life and while he still got depressed at times, had learned much more to appreciate his life, especially with Buffy in it.

"If it isn't the freaks.... I really thought you would have dropped out by now", came a familiarly irritating voice. Cordelia Chase grinned widely through newly bleached teeth at every passing male. At least ones with a good place on the social ladder. Her hair was blonde, her eyes were blue and her skin was tan. Angel could've gagged. Hair dye, contacts and a few months poolside at the 'country club' had turned Cordelia Chase into a real life Barbie doll. And like the t-shirt said 'Barbie is a slut'.

"Look its Los Angeles Barbie...you know the one with the fake boobs, and fake hair and fake eyes...." William said loudly causing a few giggles to erupt in the masses of students that were quickly silenced by Cordelia's icy glare. Things would never change. Cordelia would always be trying to put people down. It made Buffy sad. Once inside they realized all of the seniors were being ushered to the auditorium by school staff. An assembly already? Angel groaned. Things already sucked.

---------------------------------

I like to stay up late

Spend hours on the phone

Hanging' out with all my friends

And never being at home

I'm impolite and I make fun of everyone

I'm immature but I'll stay this way forever

"As you know...you are seniors this year. It is your job to set a good example for the freshman, to behave like civilized adults, and....not to fail because I don't think I can take having any of you for another year", Principal Snyder exclaimed in his usual bitter way. Angel leaned over to Buffy

"He's even more bald.... pretty soon he's going to be blinding people with the glare from his head" he whispered. Buffy covered her mouth in an attempt to hide the giggles.

"Mr. Donnelly, Ms. Summers do you slackers have something profound to share with the rest of us?"

"No sir", Angel muttered with a grin. Snyder shot daggers at them

"This is the year you must decide what you are going to do with the rest of your lives.... when you must stop acting like children and become adults, when your life will become one large hell of rejection and bills and children and ex-wives and dead end jobs where you get no respect", while Snyder went on and on about the downfalls of adulthood most of the senior class sat frozen in fear trying to figure out what in the hell they were going to do not to end up like their principal. But in the back row of the auditorium Buffy, Angel and William contemplated what Snyder would like with a mohawk.
