Chapter 6

"There's my favorite girl. Have I told you how gorgeous you look today?" Spike asked Buffy the next day at school and she raised her eyebrows at him.

"What do you want?" Spike figured she would see through that.

"Right, nothing gets by you. I need a favor." Buffy crossed her arms over her chest.

"What is it this time? I'm not doing anything illegal for you." Spike thought about it and then shook his head.

"Nothing like that. Snyder caught me smoking again and as punishment I have to show some new kid around and I really don't have time for that, so I was wondering if you could do it." He told her with a smile and Buffy shook her head.

"What makes you think I have the time?" She asked and Spike wasn't about to give up.

"Come on, Buffy. You just have to show them around the school, shouldn't take so long. I just don't wanna deal with some chit right now." Buffy was about to say something else when an attractive, dark haired man walked over to them and Buffy couldn't take her eyes off of him until he was standing right in front of them. He gave her a smile and then looked at Spike.

"Hey, are you William? Snyder said you would be showing me around." Spike raised his eyebrows as he looked at the man and then shook his head.

"This can't be right. I thought it was some chit named Angel." He smiled.

"Yeah, I'm Angel. Don't worry I get that all the time. So, I take it you're William." Spike glared at him.

"I go by Spike actually, mate. Look about me showing you around..." He started when Buffy cut him off.

"I'll be doing it." She said as she ignored the look on Spike's face." Spike doesn't have the time, so he asked me to do it and I would be happy to. That is if you don't mind." Angel looked the girl up and down and let a smile form on his face.

"No, I don't mind at all. You free right now?" Buffy nodded and smiled also.

"Yep, let's go. I'll see you later, Spike." She said without even looking at him as she walked away with Angel. Spike just watched her go with a confused expression on his face.

"What the bloody hell did I just do?" He said to himself when he felt someone pat him on the back. He looked to see Xander standing there.

"Tough break, man. You thought he was a girl and now you may have set Buffy up with him. That has to suck for you." He said as he laughed when he noticed the look on Spike's face. He stopped and ran his fingers through his hair. "Yeah, well I'm sure it's nothing to worry about. Buffy probably won't even be interested in him." Spike sighed and shook his head. He really hoped his friend was right, but he wasn't convinced.
