Chapter 2.

Spike's eyes slid open slowly, recalling everything that happened the previous night.

"So how'd you sleep?" Spike's attention was turned towards Jet who was sitting on a chair smoking.

"Fine..." Spike answered, a little cranky.

"What'd ya dream?"

"There was a monkey on a unycycle and-"

"That's enough information for me..." Jet interupted.

Spike smirked as he got up and grabed a towel for the shower. The truth was he had a dream about Julia. He was laying next to her sleeping form, just letting out heavy sighs of relief. It was so relaxing to be near her again, to feel her bare body against his own. Before he could catch his breath he relized he was standing up watching Julia and Vicious kissing, Vicious looking at him with the same stare as last night. He felt hands on his back that made his spine tingle. He turned around to find two emerald eyes gazing into his brown ones. He had started to leaned in and just as their lips brushed against each others he woke up.

He started the shower, the cool water rushing down his thin back making his hair stand on end. "Faye...Why Faye?" Spike whispered trying to piece together his "messed up" dream. "Spike, two minutes!" Spike heard Jets voice, it took him a moment to process these words, but when he he did:

"SHIT!"

He had been running from Faye all day. Every time she would go into a hall he would make for the nearest exit. He was searching for some homework he had randomly shoved in his locker the other day when he was startled by a familiar voice.

"You've been avoiding me..." It was Faye, and from her tone, as cocky as ever. He let out a breath then slammed his locker shut.

"What the hell do you want, Faye?" Spike said, kicking himself for sounding so vain.

"Well, you're my guide remember?" Faye answered, trying to sound as much of a bitch as possible.

"I don't recall..." Spike said, avoiding eye contact.

"Fine, but if I get lost and don't make it to class it'll be your head, Speigel." Faye said as she walked the wrong way, hoping he would notice.

Spike rolled his eyes, "You're such a damn drama queen!" He yanked her arm in the right direction to her next class.

"Yes, but you love it!" She said in a funny tone of voice that made him shudder in discust.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Spike said coming to a hault in the middle of the hall way.

"Oh, come now, Spikey, you know you want me." Faye answered back in a seductive tone.

"Oh no! You've figured me out! Ya right! The only way I'd ever want you is if you stuck a blonde wig on your head and called yourself Julia!" He shuved her toward her classroom with great force that made her fall to the ground. "There's your classroom, Ms.Valentine, it's been a pleasure!" Spike shouted. Now all of the 5 other people in the hall were staring at them.. She blinked dumbly for a few seconds as she watched Spike go around the corner.

"Who-who's Julia?..." Faye managed to get out.

After a lot of digging and asking around she found out that Spike was living with Jet. Sadly, that was the only good information she could find, everyone else just called him a "sorry loser" and walked away with scowls on their faces, apparently, he didn't have many friends.

When school was over she walked into Mr.Black's classroom hoping for a few answers...

"Hi, Mr.Back..." Faye squeaked, wanting to sound like the shy new girl still.

"Hello Faye, please, after class it's just Jet, I hate that whole Mr crap..."

"Oh, okay, no problem...Jet." Faye said looking down on the floor. It was alittle weird to call him Jet.

"And drop this inocent, shyness, Spike told me what a 'selfish, egotistical, bitch' you were." Jet said putting on a sly grin.

Faye's face flushed with anger and surprise. Partly because of what Spike had said and partly because she had never heard a teacher swear before. "That bastard!" Faye yelled, slamming her fist on Jet's desk. "Damnit Spike, you little jerk, wait till I get my hands on you!" She said, letting her fist fall on the desk again, making his things rattle.

"Now, now, hold on just a second there, before you get all worked up, you must of came in here to say or ask me something, now out with it." Jet said trying to calm her down.

"Alright, I just have one question before I go ring the idiot's neck..." Faye calmly stated while Jet nodded his head up and down in approvement, "Who is Julia?"

Jet's eyes darkened. He looked around then shut the door, he then reached in his desk and pulled out a cigarette and lit it. "She was the love of his life... It was the first time I had actually seen him happy. He went where ever she did and he did anything for her. Sadly, it was never the other way around..."

He inhaled deeply and dumped his ashes in a trash can. To Faye's surprise he took out an air freshener and sprayed the can. "She cheated on him with that jackass Vicious, then dumped the poor sap. He sometimes goes to where we live and forces Spike to watch as they make-out. I can usually get him to leave but sometmes I just have to drag Spike out of there before he snaps."

They both about jumped out of their seats when they heard a knock at the door. "Mr.Black?" They heard the principle's voice.

"Uh, hold on a second!" Jet said in a panicy voice. He crushed his cancer stick on the side of the trash can and threw it in. He grabed the air freshener and sprayed the can, next he sprayed himself and to Faye's displeasure he sprayed her. He took out a mint and popped it in his mouth.

"Uh, come in!" Jet almost shouted. The principle opened the door and peeked his pungy face in.

"Oh, I'm sorry I didn't know you had a student with you."

"Yes uh," Jet's eyes darted around for a second, "and that is why you shouldn't smoke! Well it was a pleasure speaking to you Ms.Valentine!" Jet said in a jolly voice, reaching over and shaking her hand furiously.

"Yes, Mr.Black, your lecture on 'why not to smoke' was very enlightening." She said back not sounding obvious at all.

She left the room with a smile but as soon as she began to walk a frown formed on her lips. 'Why do you still linger in the past Spike? Just let her go, do not chase what is not within your grasp...Man I sound like a fucking greeting card!!!'

Spike sat in the school parking lot. He noticed Faye's mess of a car still sitting where it had all day. He hated her car, you might as well have a skateboard with a box tied to it! After a while he spotted the vixen walking out of the backdoors. He smirked as he leaned against her car.

She was frowning as she saw him, "What the hell are you doing here?" Faye hissed, she obviously wasn't in a good mood.

"Love you too..." Spike spat back while smirking.

"Oh, just as long as I remind you of Julia?!" Faye shouted suddenly.

Spike's smirk faded and he looked at the ground. Faye couldn't help but feel regret for what she said.

"I'm sorry Spike, I shouldn't use your heart against you... You loved her and she still broke your heart." Faye whispered taking a few steps toward him, wanting to comfort him. She noticed Spike looking up at her with a pure look of hatred on his face.

"Who told you about Julia?" Spike said in an almost whisper.

"It was Mr-" She stopped and look up at the sky with a smile on her face, "it was Jet..." She still hadn't gotten used to calling him Jet.

Spike gritted his teeth and clenched and unclenched his hands. "Grrrrrr-JET!" Spike's reaction made her smile fade. "He'll pay!" Spike yelled angrily taking afew stomps toward the school before Faye grabed his arm and yanked him back in front of her.

"What's the big deal?!" Faye shouted at him. She had a strange look in her eyes that made him want to look away, but that something was also the thing that wouldn't let his gaze go anywhere else. "Is it such a problem for me to worry?"

"No, it's a problem when you start to pry into my life!"

"I wasn't prying, I was just searching for some answers... I'm not Julia, Spike, I wouldn't do that to you...or anyone for that matter." Faye said, still grasping his shoulder. "Why can't you be my friend? I'm not Julia!" She had a sad look in her eyes.

"You see, Faye, that's the problem, you're not..." He shook lose from her hold on him and climbed in his car. "You're nothing like her." And he drove off.

Spike sat in the fast food parking-lot stuffing his face full of hamburgers.

"Hello, Spikey..." He heard Vicious's whisper of a voice. He cringed with anger. He truely hated him. He was the one person he wanted to kill himself, rather than just wishing he were dead.

"What?" That was all Spike could get out. His mind was filled to the top with insults and he didn't know exactly what to say first.

"That 'Faye' girl is quite the vixen...And so beautiful, those eyes."

"What the hell do you mean? What about Julia?" Spike wringed his hands trying not to smack him right there.

"Oh, I'm done toying with her, she's not the prettiest girl in school anymore... Don't you agree? She hasn't been since that 'Faye' girl came here..." Vicious smirked and cracked his knuckles.

A flare of anger made him jump to his feet suddenly. To his surprise it wasn't just because Vicious had said that he had been playing with Julia but also the fact that he had the nerve to say that he wanted Faye. He had already let him have one thing of his, he wasn't about to let him have another, not Faye, never Faye. Then it occured to him that he just said Faye was his. He heard someone say "Someone call the cops!" and that snapped him back to reality. He saw that he was punching something with all his might. He looked down to see Vicious with his arms crossed over his face, his head down.

As soon as the two heard someone say it again they looked up. Spike scrambled to his feet and was about to run when he stopped and looked Vicious who had a bloody lip.

"Damn you... And stay the hell away from Faye!" He took off. He didn't mean to say that, sure the whole "Damn you" part he meant to say, but nothing after that, and that made him wonder...
