"Hey guys!" Xander shouted. 'They look so cute, I hope they will soon get together'

(I know it's weird hearing Xander saying this, but I'm making him a huge B/A Fan).

"Hey Xand Man" Buffy said back and not forgetting the others, "Hey guys!"

And chorus of "Heys" came back to her.

"Hey there's Cordy," Willow pointed out as their junior friend exited her car with her brothers Wesley and Lesley.

"Hey guys!" she said as she sat down beside her boyfriend Xander "How was your summer/"she asked but before anyone could say anything she cut in and told them about her summer. " Ours was great daddy took me shopping in Mall of America it was so much fun and hen we went to London, more shopping and then he took us to New York and we went up The Statue of Liberty it was so cool and also went shopping and then he took us to Japan and…"

"Lemme guess shopping." Angel said. And everyone started laughing

"Yeah, how'd you know?" Cordy asked him.

"Just a wild guess." He said sarcastically.

'We have more things in common now we both be sarcastic' Buffy thought and smiled.

"What are you smiling at?" Willow asked her best friend.

Not noticing that the bell had went for homeroom and that everyone had gone to their homeroom.

"What do you think?" she asked her while gazing at Angel walking with his friends to homeroom.

"Angel?" Willow asked.

"Angel." Buffy confirmed

"You got it bad." She told her friend.

"Yeah, I know." She said.

"Lets catch up with them." She said.

"OK!" Buffy said and they ran up to their friends who were in the same homeroom as them.

Guy's Locker Room

It was now Fourth Period and Buffy, Angel, Gunn, Wesley, Willow, Anya, Faith and Lesley all had P.E (Gym). This is Buffy and Angel's third class together. They sit beside each other in English and Biology. When she has Math he has History, so it's ok so far.

" So Angel, you still got the hots for your best friend Buffy Summers?" Gunn basically shouted for the entire locker room to hear and he heard a lot of gasps.

"Yeah Gunn, you still jerking of to porn?" Angel asked him hopefully embarrassing him and was answered when a bunch of laughter went through the locker room.

" Shut up man!" Gunn said not liking his little joke. " Seriously, you still loving her man?"

"Yeah Gunn I still love her like crazy the only thing is that she doesn't know so don't say anything round about her OK!" Angel sternly told him.

" OK man! I would never do that." Gunn told his Best Friend.

"Thanks." Angel said to Gunn, " You guys as well." He called over for Wesley and Lesley.

" What?" Wesley asked.

" Don't say anything round about Buffy, you know about me and her." Angel told them as well.

" OK Angel we won't, I mean that's what best friends are for isn't it." Lesley said to him.

" OK thanks guys, right lets go out and kick the girls butts at soccer." Angel said boosting the guys up with confidence. With that they ran out onto the field.

Meanwhile in the Girls' Locker Room

" So B you still hang up over your best friend Angel Giles!" Faith practically shouted for all of the girls in their class to hear and they gasped while they were all getting changed into their burgundy shorts and T-Shirts.

" Yeah Faith!" Buffy said back coolly as she put on her T-Shirt.

" What B no comeback?" Faith asked Buffy in disbelief.

"No, because I like my men to be there own, not some Billy Idol Look-A-Like." Buffy said back to her causing the girls to laugh.

"Hey B that's your boyfriends cousin you're talking about there, you better watch it." Faith told her.

" He's not my boyfriend." Buffy told Faith.

" Well what is he then?" Anya asked her.

" I don't know, from what we both know for sure is that we are best friends, and that's all that I think it will ever be." Buffy said disappointed and looking down.

"Hey B, Angel loves you everyone here can see it." Faith assured her.

Buffy looked at a few of the girls in the locker room and they all nodded with agreement on Faith.

"Yeah well it's probably a brotherly love or a best friend love, not a boy friendly love." Buffy told them.

" Ugh, whatever I can't be bothered listening to you mope about a guy you love and who obviously loves you back and that you're both too stupid to see it ok, I'm going out onto the field to speak to your honey and friends, I'll meet you out there ok, GOD!" Faith said in one whole sentence as barged out of the room.

" What's her deal?" Willow asked.

"Spike can't come out tonight he's got night classes tonight." Anya told them both.

"Oh, Faith actually cares for someone." Willow said laughing.

"Right lets go kick they guys butt at soccer." Buffy said boosting the girls up with confidence.

And they ran out on to the football field.

Football field

The coach blew the whistle, " Alright guys and girls, we're playing soccer and we have a new girl Eve O'Connor" he said as the girl standing beside him waved at the class. She was gazing at Angel and that didn't go unnoticed by Buffy.

'What does she think she's doing, that my man, whoa Buffy calm down, ugh what a bitch.' Buffy thought.

"Now the team captains." The coach said. Scanning through his class he spotted two, " Giles and Summers" he shouted for them. " You guys are captains and Summers you choose first since you a lady and all." Coach said to her.

" Em OK, Gunn" Buffy said.

" Buffy!" Willow whined.

" Sorry Wills, he's good" she told her friend.

It was Angels turn.

" Faith!"

"Willow"

"Wesley"

"Lesley"

"Anya"

They continued until everyone in the class where in a team.

" Ok when I blow my whistle, start ok, ready , set GO!" the coach said and with that he blew his whistle.

Buffy and Gunn kicked off.

Buffy had the ball and passed it to Willow and she scored. This went on until Buffy had the ball ready to score a goal about to make the score 4-5 to her team until she saw Angel coming towards her going for the ball, she tried to turn away but it was too late he had tackled her to the ground. The coach blew the whistle.

"TIMES UP!" he shouted.

Angel was on top of Buffy, they were just looking at each other.

'Now this is a better position for us." Angel thought, he laughed and then she laughed.

He came off of her and gave her his hand to help her up from the ground.

"What was that about tackling me to the ground?" Buffy asked him.

"Nothing, just wanted to see what it was like to be on top of you." Angel said in a sarcastic tone, to himself he was meaning it.

"Ha Ha very funny Angel, now I have to go get changed. Bye!" she said and waved him off before going to get changed. 'It would be so good if he really meant that there'

"Bye!" he shouted back to her.

Before she went into the changing room she saw Eve flirting with Angel, her Angel, well not really, but he felt like her Angel. She looked at them laughing and joking and Angel walked away and left Eve with a smile of approval on her face.

Angel saw Buffy and the hurt look on her face "What's up with her?' he walked towards her.

"Hey! What's up?" Angel asked her.

"What?" She snapped out of her bad thought s of Eve, "Nothing Why?"

" You looked hurt, you OK?" he asked yet again.

" Yeah I'm fine. So what was all that about. You and Eve?" She asked him.

" Oh, she asked me out on a date to the Bronze and I said yes." Angel told her, he hated to tell her about his up coming dates when the only person he wanted to date was right in front of him and she didn't know it.

"Oh, OK… Well I gotta go get changed, bye" she said again to him with that hurt look on her face and she went into the girls locker room then he did the same in the boys.

-------

Almost everyone is at their lunch table talking.

"So Angel a date with the new girl Eve." Xander said. " That's an OK choice"

"Yeah well it's not like anyone else wants to go out with me." Angel said.

Buffy flinched at his remark.

"Angel are you honestly kidding me, you're the most wanted guy in Sunnydale!" Cordy exclaimed.

" Yeah well I did have my eye on one girl but she doesn't seem to notice that I liked her." Angel told Cordy looking at Buffy without her knowing. The guys started to cough and Buffy looked up at him as soon as he said that.

"Who?" Buffy asked.

"What?" he said.

"Who was it that you like?" She asked curiously.

"Oh, just some girl. You don't even know her." He said to her.

"Hey I might know her, she might be a close friend." She said to him.

" Oh you have no idea how close you are to her." Gunn said to her.

"You guys all know and I don't." Buffy said a little hurt at Angel, I mean he told her everything. "Oh, is it Dawn I mean Angel she's my little sister and your little brothers girl friend, come on Angel get with someone your age." Buffy said to him, almost hyperventilating.

" Buffy calm down it's not Dawn." He assured her.

" It's? So you still like her?" Buffy caught him.

" Well… Um… Well yeah I guess." He stumbled.

"Please Angel tell me." Buffy whined.

"No!" Angel said.

"Fine!" Buffy said in a huff. " So we Bronzin' tonight, I know Angel's comin' with us but with Miss. O'Connor, so what about the rest of us we in?" Buffy asked.

" Yeah we're there." They all said then the bell went.

"So see you guys tonight?" Buffy asked them.

"yeah!" they all said again.

"At 7:30" she shouted back at them.

---------

After school in Angels' car.

"So tonight the big date with Eve?" Buffy asked.

"Yeah well it's just a date it's not a big deal." He said to her.

" Yeah well I bagged myself a date tonight as well." She said to him.

His heart crushed." Really. Who?"

"Parker Abrams." She told him. She really hated Parker but he kept asking her out so she accepted. She decided she wanted to make Angel jealous.

" Buffy! I thought you hated him and I mean hated him!" Angel exclaimed.

" Well I decided to give him a chance, plus I don't wanna be the only one without a date tonight. OK" she told him.

"Alright, but anything happens with him or if he does anything to you that you don't like you interrupt me and my date and tell me and you do the same for me ok, deal." He said to her and stuck his hand out for her to shake.

"OK" she agreed and shook his hand.

They were now outside of his house, and he park in his drive - way.

"Ok so have fun at the Bronze I'll see ya tonight ok bye!" she told him and ran into her house before he could even say two words to her. She noticed Oz's van was parked in her drive – way ' Who does he always get here places before me and Angel do I mean we leave before them and everything' she thought as she went into her home to get the biggest fright of her life.

" Hey, you" he said.
