Disclaimer: Joss gave me permission. Well, not ME, but Buffy fans in general. When asked what fans were supposed to do with the time they were now not spending watching Buffy, he said write fanfiction (BTW incase you didn't guess, not a direct quote, but close anyway), so Here I am, doing what Joss told me to do!

Chapter 2- Bring on the Tears

"Hi, Liam." Buffy put on a shy smile

"Hey, Buffy! Ya wanna sit down? I made sure there'd be room for you. You know, just incase you might have wanted to come over." Liam moved over to give Buffy room to sit and eat her lunch. Buffy sat and openned her lunch kit.

"Thank you, Liam. That is very nice of you. Your not a meany like those other boys are. They made me cry!" All of a sudden Buffys big brown eyes filled with big wet tears. "All they do is fight and I want to hit them!" By now the beautifully faked tears were streaming down her face.

Liam was shocked. He'd never seen her cry before, she was always tough. He pulled her into his arms and held her there while she cried. As he lifted his head he saw them coming over her shoulder. This wasn't good. Not that it was ever good when they came to get Buffy back, but this time it was really bad. He could tell by the fact that there weren't just one or two of the guys coming to get her. Nope. ALL of them were coming. Bad sign, very, very bad sign.

"Get Away from her!!!" that was William. The next thing Liam knew he was surrounded. Buffy looked up right then. He abruptly let her go. She was still crying. The group of boys look at one another.

"What did you do to her??? Why is she crying like that?" Pike was outraged. No wonder the guys didnt like him if he could make Buffy cry.

"I didnt-" Liam started but was interupted by a still blubbering Buffy.

"He didn't do anything! You poopheads! I hate you all." She stood to run away but ran right into Daniel and Jesse."Get out of my way!!" When they didn't she punched Jesse in the nose "I SAID MOVE!!!!" And with that she ran away.

"Will, you go after her, we will take care of Liam here" Even as Daniel spoke William was already on his way after her.

Inside the School

By time she got in to the school she had quit crying, but she was madder than she had ever been. She hated boys now. All of them. Even Liam. She never wanted to talk to or see any of them ever again. All they did was make her mad.

Buffy realized she had forgotten her lunchpail. Oh, well. She would just have to get it afterschool. She and Faith had to stay late today, because their mom had to work late. Buffy walked up to her desk and sat down.

The teacher was just finishing up her lunch when little William ran past her into the school. He and Buffy were probably fighting again. That was twice in one week. Probably not a good thing. For such a little girl Buffy had a large temper and when provoked, well, lets just say not even her teachers wanted to get in her way. Not that she was a bad kid, just...angry.

"Buffy."

"William. Leave me alone."

"Buffy.."

"I said leave me alone. If you dont leave me alone, I will leave you alone. And then, I will never talk to you 'gain"

William realized she wasn't gonna talk to him. At least, not today. sigh What was her problem today? It wasn't like they did anything worse today than anyother day, but she was madder than he had ever seen her. He knew something was wrong but if she wasn't gonna talk to him how was he suposed to help?

Out on the Playground

Liam was still surrounded by "Buffys boys" and they were none to happy with him. Not only that but they didn't like him that much before. When school had started he had been a big bully to everybody, so no one liked him. One morning he decided he wanted to have friends so he started being nice, but no one belived he was being real with them. At least, no one but Buffy. She was a sweet girl, and the only person who would talk to him. It made him happy when she came to visit him, even if it was only to make the guys mad and usually ended in him getting a bruise of some kind.

"We told you already t' stay 'way from Buffy. Why wont you listen ta us? You are dumb, aren't you? Well, I'll make ya a deal, kay? you pw-pw-pRomise not to talk to her or ever look at her one more time and I wont hit you." Xander sounded confident as he made his little speech. Why shouldn't he be? He was with all his friends, and Liam had no one.

"I promise." Liam hung his head. He knew they all had reason not to like him but it still made him feel badly. Now without Buffy he had no one.

Playhouse

"Think they'll come back?" Cordy was getting bored. Everybody was paying attention to Buffy and not to her. Why was Buffy so special?

"I think lunch is almost over, so prob-ly not. I wonder how it turned out today?" Willow was kinda worried. They usually came back before lunch was over.

"Buff was all bad moody this morn'in. She went to bed cry'in too. She wouldnt even tell me why." Faith didnt like it when her sisdter cried...It always ment something bad.

"She should just get over what ever it is. Shes bein' more of a poophead than usual." Anya had to be kept in the loop. She, like Cordy, didnt like being ignored. It was insulting.

"We have to stay late after school again today....I'll ask her again."

"I think we should go now...the bell should ring soon" And With that, Willow and the others headed off to class.

(A/N I promise it gets better!!! I am just having trouble getting my thoughts out and on to the keyboard for my beginning. BTW, aren't these just the smartest, mostest mature 5 year olds you ever did see? Oh and the spelling mistakes? Usually put there on purpose. And the charactures will be getting there nick names in about 2 or 3 more chapters.....that is if I get any reviews, cuz they are my inspiration. I only got one for the first chapter last time I looked but it didn't count cuz hes like, my bestest Big Brother. Well, By now!)
