The Gypsy 9: Brats

"Spoiled? Me?" It had been an awkward and trying walk over to the school and Spike now looked down his nose at the short blond girl who had been acting like a brat the whole way. "If I'm spoiled what are you princess?"

Buffy huffed and rolled her eyes. "Lets just get this over with Tall, Bleached, and Broody" Buffy yanked the front door of the high school open and stepped in front of her guest.

"Hey, I didn't ask to do this. This is all our parents doing so don't take it out on me Barbie." Buffy turned and glared at Spike who casually held his ground and smirked, which infuriated Buffy.

"Oh look, here's are first stop on the tour 'from Hell', the principal's office which I think you might want to get acquainted with now since you'll be spending the majority of your time here."

"Really I guess we'll be seeing a lot of each other than I heard you've got a permanent reservation on the shrink's couch."

"I do not, but I bet you will, you would."

Buffy turned she was done with this banter. All she wanted was to go home and call Willow.

"Aye, what's that suppose to mean?" Spike caught up to her stride.

"Nothing. You know..." Buffy turned back to him and realized that she had made a mistake her mother would not be proud of. The look on Spike's face made her forget what ever witty remark she had intended to throw at him. She tried to think of away to take back her words gracefully but she couldn't think of anything. "It's not supposed to mean anything. Come on the Library is this way, let's do this quick."

"I showed you the gym right? And the computer lab? I think that's everything I can show you." Buffy looked up and down the hall as Spike lend on the door to the Cafeteria.

"Let' go up stairs I want to go see my locker from last year."

"I think we really should be headed back now." Spike looked up and down the dim and empty hall. It was a shame it won't be like that once school started this atmosphere fit his mood.

"Oh come on." Buffy ran down the hall and headed up the stair well. Spike followed after her, he didn't know why it wasn't like he cared one way or the other. He probably should have just stayed where he was.

................................

Spike came to the top of the stairs he looked down an even darker hallway then the one he'd come from. He didn't see Buffy anywhere. "Where did she go?" he muttered just as he stepped out of the stair well and Buffy grabbed him by the arm. Spike didn't see this attack coming; he twisted, tripped, and fell over to where Buffy was hunched down on an open doorway.

"What was that for?" Spike pulled his left leg up to his chest and held his knee.

"SSsshhhh, get over here." Buffy scolded as she peered around the corner.

Spike slid over behind her. "Monsters?" he tried to peer over her shoulder to see what on Earth had gotten her so worked up.

"What? No, worse! Angel."
