Chapter 2

Goths and bench thoughts

"Now sweet heart are you sure you don't need me to pick you up after school?"

Buffy groaned, "No mother I do not need you to pick me up, I told you there's a football game after school, the girls and I are going to hang out at the bronze until then" she gathered her books and cheerleading gear and opened the car door, "And after words Angel and I are going to grab a bite to eat"

"Alright alright just making sure my little girl is going to get home safe, lately there have been creeps hanging out at night and I don't want you getting hurt" Mrs. Summers smiles at her daughter, "have a good time sweety and remember I have a meeting later tonight"

Buffy said goodbye and closed the door, her mother could be really annoying sometimes. Buffy walked up the steps to Sunnydale High, this was just a tiny bit difficult to do in her heals, but she had managed not to trip yet. Buffy looked around for her friends, Anya usually arrived right after Buffy and Cecily usually showed up right after the warning bell.

Buffy sat down on a bench and scanned the area, over near the bike racks were the skateboarders, Buffy didn't really know anyone from that group, they mostly talked about wheels and tricks and the sort of stuff that Buffy had no clue about. Over in the shade were some Goths, Buffy recognized some of them, there was Faith a brunette that was known to use guys as one night stands, Buffy had actually considered asking her to join 'The Slayers' but decided that is would be best just to stick with her own friends.

The other Goths that Buffy recognized were Willow Rosenberg and her boyfriend Oz. no one really knew his last name, he was the mysterious type and rarely showed facial expressions. Willow, Buffy knew from second grade but back then Willow had been a redheaded nerd, now she had dyed her hair black and was no longer know as nerdy willow. Willow was still smart and got good grades; it was just her appearance and friends that had changed.

Buffy also recognized Andrew, he used to be crazy about games and collecting cards of all sorts but now he had joined Willow and turned Goth.

The rest of the people Buffy didn't know and didn't really care to know, they weren't part of her circle, besides they usually ditched school, skipped classes, or got in trouble for something, stuff Buffy did not care to be involved in.

Buffy sighed and stood up, looks like Anya and Cecily are late today, were could they be? Buffy walked back down the stairs and searched yet again for her friends, this was really odd. As Buffy turned to go back up the steps she bumped in to some one and dropped her stuff on the ground.

"Oh bloody hell! Watch where you're going you sodding bint!"

Encounter with a Slayer

Spike had just arrived at school and was walking up the steps when some sodding bint waltzed right in to him causing him to drop his cigarette and lighter.

"Oh bloody hell! Watch where you're going you sodding bint!" he shouted

The girl looked up at him; "I am so sorry, really I didn't mean to, I am so sorry" she looked scared and about to cry.

Oh Hell, must've scared the girl, Spike sighed "Naw don't worry about it, s'my fault I guess, sorry for shoutin', havin' a bad day is all, didn't mean to upset you" Spike bent down and began picking up the girls things and cursed himself for being so rude to her.

The girl tried to smile a bit, as she helped him pick her stuff up. Spike gave her a little grin and stood up, "Names Spike by the way, yours?"

The girl stood up too, and pushed a bit of hair behind her ear, "I'm Buffy, Buffy Summers and I am really sorry"

"Forget about it Luv, I guess we were both out of sorts, 'ey 'ow come I've never seen you around 'ere before? You a newbie?"

Buffy shook her head, "No but now that you mention it, I've never seen you before either" she blushed.

The warning bell rang and everyone who was still outside rushed in, except Buffy and Spike.

Spike nodded to the front doors, "I'll walk you inside Pet"

Buffy blushed again, "Okay" and she followed him up the steps and inside the building.

The halls of Sunnydale high were crowded with students rushing not to be late to first period, Buffy and Spike made their way to a non-crowed spot.

"Guess this is where we part Luv" Spike handed her the books that she had dropped

"Yeah I, uh guess so"

"You'd better hurry off to class pet," he said backing away, "And now that I know you, I'll be sure to look for you again" Buffy blushed again and Spike walked off.

Spike did not turn around to wave goodbye, he just kept walking, don't want her to think I some sort of pansy now would I, an' bugger me for never seeing 'er before, Faith probably knows who she is, do a bit of searching up on the blonde beauty of Sunnyhell high.
