Chapter 2

They drove to UC Sunnydale where they both now went to school in silence until it was becoming too much for Spike. "Alright, you're never this quiet. What's wrong?" He asked her and she didn't even look at him.

"I don't wanna talk about it, especially with you." Spike rolled his eyes.

"Come on, you can't still be mad at me." Buffy glared at him.

"You told my mom about me missing curfew the other night and got me grounded for two weeks." He shrugged.

"Two weeks really isn't that bad. I was only getting you back for shrinking my duster." Buffy crossed her arms over her chest.

"That was an accident. I wanted to go to the Bronze tonight to see this really cool band and because of you I'm stuck inside. This is so not fair. I'm 18-years-old now and in college. I shouldn't have a curfew. Mom wouldn't even let me live in a dorm because the college is close to the house and she wants to keep an eye on me. You get to have your own apartment." Spike rolled his eyes again.

"I'm also 21, you'll get to have your independence soon enough. I don't think you're ready to live on your own yet." Buffy sighed and looked out the window.

"Now you sound like her. I'm sick and tired of being treated like a kid and you really aren't helping." She said as she looked back at him. He just shook his head and continued the drive to the college. When they got there, Buffy got out of the car and walked ahead of him without even looking back. He sighed and followed after her. Buffy already saw a few of her friends when she walked inside the school and she smiled and headed over to them. They smiled when they saw her and then looked at Spike who walked over to them also. He gave the girls a smile.

"Hello, ladies." The girls blushed and he turned back to Buffy. "Meet me at the car after classes. I don't want you to walk home." Buffy rolled her eyes and didn't say anything as Spike gave her friends one more smile and walked off.

"Your brother is so hot, Buffy." Her friend Jessica said. She was petite with long, wavy, brown hair. Buffy had a grossed out look on her face when she said that.

"Okay, can I please go one day without hearing that? I would really appreciate it." Jessica shrugged her shoulders and didn't say anything else.

"I will admit that he is good looking, but I know you don't wanna hear that." Buffy looked at her red headed friend that spoke.

"You're gay, Willow." She said to her.

"Yeah, but I'm not blind. I can still notice attractive guys." Buffy sighed as they started to walk to their first classes.

"Why don't you wanna hear that anyway, Buff? Unless you want him for yourself or something." Buffy stopped to stare at Jessica.

"Are you kidding me? That's just gross." Buffy replied.

"It's not like you're related by blood so it wouldn't really be incest or anything." Buffy rolled her eyes as they continued to walk.

"And to that an extreme see you later." She said to Jessica as her and Willow got to their first class. Jessica just waved to them and walked the other way. Buffy shuddered at what she said and walked into the class with Willow only to find Spike who was sitting at a desk in front of the class. She wondered if her day could possibly get any worse. Willow went to sit down while Buffy walked over to Spike. He looked up when she came over. "Why are you in this class? Haven't I suffered enough?" Spike rolled his eyes before he answered her.

"It's no picnic for me either. I happen to be the TA at least three days a week so you have to listen to me." He told her with a smirk and she laughed.

"Yeah, like that'll happen." She replied as she went and sat down in the seat next to Willow. Spike sighed and went back to the papers at his desk. Buffy knew that she was in for a very boring hour when the front door opened and a dark haired man walked in. Buffy's jaw dropped when she saw him. He was very attractive. He smiled at the class and stood behind his desk. He wrote something on the board before he addressed them.

"Good morning everyone. I'm Professor Donovan and since that's a little too stuffy for me, you all can call me Angel." He told them with a smile and Buffy couldn't help the smile that graced her lips also. This was definitely going to be a good year.
