A/N: Finally made myself get back to work on this one! Hehe. I had meant to work on this sooner, as well as my other stories, but some stuff has been going on and things have been getting hectic. But now I have some time to write, so yay! Well, enough of me babbling, here's the story!

Chapter 2: Betrayal

The next day Spike was at school trying to get his schedule before classes, but the administration didn't seem too willing to comply with his desires.

Spike growled. Every time the secretary would come by he would try to get her attention, and she either didn't notice, or said she was busy at the moment only to disappear again. And it had just happened for the 9th time in half an hour!

Do you have to wait until classes *start* to get any help around here? he grumbled under his breath as he sat down once again. He heard a soft laugh at his remark and looked over to see a raven-haired beauty in a long black dress that had just entered the office. Spike jumped to his feet while her eyes danced with amusement.

Are you new this year? she asked.

yeah, he said, admiring her beauty.

I'm Drusilla. I just moved here last year. What did you need? Schedule?

Spike watched as the girl put down the books she was holding and walked behind the counter over to a filing cabinet.

What's your name? she asked as she opened a drawer.

William James, he replied. Within seconds, she handed him a slip of paper.

So, William You're from England? she asked.

'S Spike. And yeah, that I am, pet.

Drusilla smiled. Me too. Why don't I show you to the library so you can get your books?

That would be lovely of you, Drusilla.

Please, call me Dru.

Alright, Dru it is then, pet. Drusilla giggled and looped her arm through his.

As they walked down the halls to the library, they passed Buffy, Xander, Willow, and Oz.

Wasn't that Spike? Willow asked.

who was that with him? I didn't recognize her, Buffy wondered.

That's Drusilla, one of Cordelia's cronies. She transferred here near the end of last year, Xander said.

Oz nodded. She was in my English class. Didn't show up too often though. Just then, the bell rang signaling the beginning of the school year.

Well, who cares about Spike and Drusilla. Time for the joy of yet another year of school, she finished sarcastically. The group went their separate ways, Willow and Buffy heading to chemistry together.

Well, I'm glad Spike's already making friends, Willow said as the two walked.

Buffy snorted. Looked like some kinda ho-bag to me.

Willow looked over at her friend. Why do you think that? She looked nice enough, considering she's friends with Cordelia. You don't like Spike, do you? she asked suspiciously.

What? No! Buffy denied.

Really? Because I mean, he is cute

Buffy said as they got to their class and found seats next to each other. Seconds later, Spike walked in and after looking around the room for a seat, smirked as he slipped into one right behind Buffy. She groaned when she noticed.

What's wrong, princess? Spike mocked her.

Buffy glared at him. She had no clue why she disliked him so much, and she had no reason to, but for some reason her got to her. Everything he did, every word that came out of his mouth drove her crazy and made her want to wipe the seemingly-constant smug smirk off his face.

Oh, nothing. Just now I have to put up with you all year, she shot at him. Spike clutched his chest over his heart.

Oh, princess! You're words hurt me! he mocked.

Buffy glared at him, and then spun around in her seat. Willow silently watched the exchange. She was about to comment, when the teacher began class.

*****

As the day wore on, Buffy discovered that she also had English and history with Spike, as well as the same lunch. Spike had quickly made friends with most of the people he came across. It was as though he were a disease, infecting everyone who saw him, causing them all to like him, except Buffy. Those he deemed high enough on the social scale for him to care, he would actually talk to and introduce himself. Buffy's friends didn't seem to fit that group from everyone he was talking to. They didn't mind as long as he didn't bother them, guessing he would just be one of those people. They had been proved right when they saw him sitting with Cordelia and her crew, including Drusilla, at lunch, which of course, he didn't eat.

His new friends gave Xander more than enough reason to dislike Spike, and Buffy hadn't been able to stand him since their first meeting. Willow was a bit reluctant, still willing to give him a fair chance, but even she had to admit that he did act like a jerk during the day.

By that night, he was driving Buffy crazy. Everywhere she turned, there was Spike. Watching TV, talking to her mom, helping with dinner, waiting for her to get out of the bathroom She couldn't get away. Buffy was extremely relieved to be going Bronzing with Willow, Oz, and Xander or she thought she might go crazy.

As she was about to slip out the door, Spike caught her.

Where are you off to, pet? he asked.

I'm going to the Bronze. Bye.

What, and you didn't want to take your new housemate with you? Spike teased. Joyce overheard them as she stepped out of the kitchen.

That sounds like a wonderful idea. Buffy, why don't you, dear? she smiled at her daughter.

Buffy stared back in complete and utter horror.

he mother gave her a look that offered no room for argument.

Buffy sighed in disgust.

As the two walked out of the house, Buffy said, I hope you're happy now.

Oh, don't get your knickers all in a twist, princess. I was going to see Dru anyway.

Buffy said. The two continued on in silence until entering the Bronze where Buffy stormed off.

Spike sighed and looked around for Dru as he saw Buffy reach a table where her friends and a brunette man sat. He growled as he realized the man must be Angel

Spike! There you are! he heard Dru's voice behind him.

Turning around, he flashed her a smile. 'Lo, luv. Hope you haven't been waiting long, he sauntered over to the the table she, Cordelia, Anya Jenkins, and two other guys sat before taking a seat of his own.

Not really. We just got here, Dru said. Spike smiled at her.

So, are you good at giving orgasms? Anya asked eagerly.

Spike stared at her. Well, er, that's what the ladies tell me, so-

Oh, good, Anya interrupted him. That is very important in a potential boyfriend, or even just a fate, she told Dru. Dru laughed.

Spike looked upwards as Anya continued babbling about the joys of sex and its rewarding orgasms, Spike sighed. This was going to be a loooong night

*****

Buffy sat with Willow, Xander, and Angel listening to Angel talk about hi new something. What was he talking about again? Oh yes, his new car. She couldn't be more bored. As he continued talking, she sighed. This was going to be a loooong night.

Suddenly, Angel asked her a question. Unsure of what the question or its proper answer was, she smiled at him and nodded, hoping it was right. He returned her smile and took her hand, leading her to the dance floor. Now she had to dance with him. Wonderful. She so didn't want to. She didn't want his large, overwhelming body engulfing hers as she tried to dance. Looking around the club, she noticed Spike staring at her. Spike She would much prefer his lean body to Angel's

Shocked at herself, she shook her head, trying to rid herself of the thoughts.

*****

Spike watched Buffy as she danced with the poof with too much hair gel, but at the same time took care to still seem involved in the conversation taking place at the table he sat at.

After a few songs of Buffy seductively dancing, and the huge bulking mass doing what Spike guessed passed for dancing in Angel's mind, she returned to the table with her friends as Angel went to get a drink.

I'm going to the bathroom, Dru announced before grabbing her purse and walking off. After a moment, Spike was so bored that he had to get away from the table, so he went to get a drink.

As he walked away, he heard Anya saying, I bet they're going to get orgasms. Shaking his head, he continued to the bar.

After paying for a soda, Spike went up the stairs to look around for a bit. From his position by the railing, he could see most of the club, including Buffy and her friends.

For some reason, Buffy's face was horror-stricken. Then she bolted out of the club. Curious, Spike looked in the area she had been staring at before her exit. Only to see Angel and Dru making out.

A/N: So what do you guys think? Ooo.. cliff hanger. heh. Should have this updated soon. Much sooner than it took for me to get this chapter up! heh.
