An hour after Angel and Spike left, Willow and Kathy came to the house, looking her over worriedly. She led them up into her bedroom and explained everything that had happened.

"I thought he was for real. All the things he said to me…they were so sweet."

Willow looked at her sternly: "No, they weren't. He was saying that so you'd take a chance and sleep with him. He's a poop head."

"You're right. He's manipulative and shallow. And why doesn't he want me?" Buffy's face screwed up in pain. "Am I repulsive? If there was something repulsive about me you would tell me, right?"

Kathy spoke up now, "I'm your friend. I would call you repulsive in a second."

"Maybe Parker and I could still work it out. Do you think we could still work it out?"

Willow took her hand and squeezed it gently, seeing the pain her friend was going through, before speaking, "I think you're missing something about this whole poop head principal."

"God how can I have been so stupid? I swore I'd never be pushed into it and then a few weeks into a relationship I…everyone told me about him and I wouldn't listen. I guess I thought I could change him. Maybe it wouldn't have been so bad if it wasn't my first time, but…"

She began to cry and Kathy and Willow put their arms around her, rocking her soothingly and cursing the man that had done this to their friend.

The next day Angel walked on to the UC Sunnydale campus, scouring it for Parker. He couldn't see him. Buffy had never told him where he lived so he couldn't go to his dorm. He located a young blonde female who looked to be a freshman and stopped her, his charming grin in place. He flirted with her for a while before asking after Parker, saying he was meant to meet him but was running early. The girl pointed him in the direction of the Psychology room, saying he always had a lecture at this time on a Tuesday morning. No doubt another girl Parker had manipulated.

As he walked down the corridor he saw Parker walk out of the Psych room with a few of his friends. He paused when a guy stopped Parker and asked him what the scoop was on 'the high school hottie'. Angel had no doubt who he was talking about and his blood boiled as he heard Parker's response.

"Buffy? Yeah, she's alright, I guess. I mean, kind of whiney."

"How's that?"

"Well, you know, clingy. We saw each other for like four weeks then we got a little physical laughs uh, well, fully physical. Then she got all clingy and all over me."

Angel inched closer to the group, careful to stay out of Parker's eye line. Everyone knew how close the Summers' and the Farren's were.

"No, but fun was had, yeah?"

"Oh, yeah. The word is stamina. I mean, definitely a bunny in the sack, but later on, well. You know the difference between a high school girl and a toilet seat? A toilet seat doesn't follow you around after you use it."

That was it. Angel pushed the other guys out of the way and punched Parker hard in the nose. He crumpled to the floor, holding his nose and howling in pain. Angel bent down over him, grabbing him by the shirt and hauling him up a few inches off the floor.

"I ever hear you say anything like that again about her, this'll be the least I'll do to you. You don't deserve her. You never deserved her."

He released him and stood up, his eyes blazing as he took in the group still standing, staring. He glared at them, the message in his eyes clear 'go anywhere near Buffy and it'll be the last thing you do' and stalked off, leaving Parker still lying on the floor.
