Chapter 7

Going back to school on Monday was going to be a delightful treat for both parties. Angelus was packing a nice bruise from where Buffy had slapped him, and Buffy was still caring the emotional baggage.

"So Angelus how does it feel to have been bitch-slapped?" Parker taunted, knowing well enough that if you can't join 'em make fun of 'em; at least until you got beaten up for it.

"So Parker how does it feel to be the only male virgin in the entire school?" Angelus spat back with special emphasis on the word 'entire'

Parker didn't see anything but red and went flying towards Angelus. However, Angelus' reflexes were in top condition and he moved out of the way and stuck his arm out in a wrestling move, the 'clothes line', dropping Parker like a ton of bricks. "Jeez Parker you're a virgin and a pussy." With that Angelus just walked off looking for his current bed buddy, Darla.

The blonde was standing at her locker attempting to open it when familiar, masculine arms wrapped themselves around her.

"Hey baby." The smooth voice of Angelus whispered into her ear

"What happened to Darla?" Buffy whispered back

"What the…" Angelus said releasing his hold on her and backing away to see who he had held

"Angelus?" Darla's voice rang out cutting the trance that had taken over Angelus

Shaking his head he turned to face his blonde 'sex-kitten'. "Yeah baby?" he said smoothly letting his calm reserve come into play

"Who's your friend?" she asked nodding towards Buffy

"Darla surly you must remember me, Buffy. Buffy Summers." Buffy spoke up before Angelus could, "You know the girl you're boyfriend was with at the Bronze last Friday."

"Why would Angelus be at the Bronze with you last Friday? He was hanging with his friends." Darla said confused

"Oh you're man isn't the patron of honesty." Buffy said deviously, unknowing what had come over her to say these things, especially to Angelus' girlfriend in front of him.

"Come on baby let's go." Angelus said

"No." Both Buffy and Darla said at the same time, "He was talking to me." Darla spat at Buffy

"Are you sure about that?" Buffy asked and walked away allowing her hips to roll a little more than she would normally, but she knew both Angelus and Darla would be watching so she could make an exception.

"Angelus what the hell was she talking about?" Darla said once Buffy had rounded the corner.

He looked down at the wild blonde and saw not fury, nor anger but hurt in her features. "Nothing she was just making stuff up. I was hanging out with my friends last night I don't know what she was talking about."

"So you didn't go to the Bronze last night?" she asked

"Darla I told you where I was twice, if you don't trust me then we have a problem." Angelus said blowing it entirely out of proportion, on purpose.

"No, no, no baby I trust you. Really." Darla practically begged

"I'm not so sure you really do. I'm going to have to rethink the whole concept of us." Angelus said walking away from the devastated blonde

"Angelus! Stop please!" she shouted after him. He just let her words pass over him and without another thought went to class.

Lunch

"Hey Angelus, you know Darla has been following you around like a love-sick puppy?" Gunn notified Angelus

"Yeah, I'm in the process of removing her from the prestigious position as my 'girlfriend'." Angelus said laying it on thick, all the while smirking

"Jeez man you do and drop." Wesley stated looking at Angelus with amazement. Wesley was currently going out with Cordelia Chase, current head cheerleader.

"Well, Wes that's all most of these girls around here are good for." Angelus stated as though it was common knowledge.

"How about that blonde that you were mating with last Friday?" Spike asked with a smirk that could nearly rival Angelus'.

"Yeah, that Buffy chick, I heard she's trying out for cheerleading this year." Gunn said raising an eyebrow

"Well, I'm not sure she's a hot lil' number but I don't think she's willing to 'put out'." Angelus told his posse.

"Maybe she can tame the beast." Riley whispered to no one

"So Buff are you really going out for the cheerleading squad?" Xander asked his best friend

"Well, yeah I guess. Shouldn't be too hard." Buffy answered shrugging off the question

"With Queen C as head cheerleader, good luck!" Xander exclaimed

"Xand just shut up and eat you're Twinkie." Buffy replied

"Will you okay over there?" Xander asked instead

"Hmm? Yeah, just thinking. Buffy when is cheerleading try-outs?" Willow asked changing the subject

"Ahh, yes when are the girls in short skirts going to shake it?" Xander asked happily rubbing his hands together

"God Xander I swear!" Buffy said turning to Willow to answer the question, "Today after school."

"We'll be there, for you know viewing…" Xander began but stopped when Willow elbowed him in the ribs, "I mean for support."

"Whatever." Buffy said getting up to throw away the remains of her lunch.
