Love reading this kind of high school AU. Doesn't every girl wish for moments like these? And discussing Wuthering Heights, well...sorry got lost in my daydream. :-)

Author's Response: Oh good, I'm glad you're enjoying it. I don't know about every girl, but I do! Thanks for reviewing :)

OH that was good, more please.

Author's Response: Thanks! :)

when i read the title, i was all 'again? AGAIN? oh boy, di i miss the first one?' lol

anyway, this fic is getting better and better. i just knew it! ;P

loved the lesson, and how they interact (buffy's first paper was hilarious)... and yes, i do think cathy was stupid too! lol

Author's Response: Haha. Yes, I knew the title was a little misleading :) Thank you very much. I'm glad you're enjoying it.

Hehe, me too. William's "not one of my favorite characters" is my opinion, though of course the book is good.

Love this story, both characters are so full of potential. William can definitely get edgier and tougher and Buffy can be more intelligent and less fake. It looks like they'll start affecting each other; William affecting Buffy with the tutoring and Buffy probably affecting William with her looks and coy flirtatiousness. I love how she kinda tried to use her looks in this chapter to get her way, with the pout and touch. Even though she probably wasn't aware she was having that effect on him (and he on she with his voice), it's just fun to see the high school relationship of self-consciousness and shyness develop. Wuthering Heights is one of my favorite novels, and I found it rather peculiar that you included it in the story. I hope you just put it in because it reminded you of Spuffy on the show, or that it was your favorite book or something, and not that the events in the book will be repeated in this fic. Of course, this is a high school fic, so maybe you're just alluding to the social class differences. At any rate, it was a fun read, and I'm looking forward to more.

Author's Response: I like how William didn't let her get away with it, even though he was affected by her. Yes, trying really hard to remember back that far and what it felt like. Insecurity and confusion is what comes to my mind for that period for me.

Don't worry, this won't be an exact Wuthering Heights rewrite done in high school Spuffy (not sure how I'd accomplish that one anyway!). I wandered into using it for Buffy's report because I liked that quote and Buffy needed something to work on. I also liked the description of Cathy's love for Heathcliff, even though technically I suppose it's meant to be a cautionary tale.

I was kinda cursing myself after I did it, because I read it 15 years ago, so I had to go brush up a little. Initially, I liked that, as you said, the social class differences are there and that's very similar to a high school situation. In the book, who you marry can determine/raise/lower your 'worth'. In high school, make friends with the wrong person and you're branded. There may be some parallel things or events that happen along the way. I'm sort of still in the planning stage now, so anything I say now would probably end up not being true!. I will say that it's not going to be a tragic disaster like Cathy and Heathcliff. Just me personally, but I do hate getting hooked on a fic in progress and then everyone gets killed off in the end. (Unless they do it in a really cool way, then I still hate it, but I can appreciate it!) I will admit to cheating sometimes and looking at the last page of suspicious completed fics to prevent this from happening (just to see if there's a happy Buffy and Spike). Only one person has tricked me so far and that was by putting a happy dream sequence at the end even though Spike was dead! I was so bummed...lol. So, consider the last page looked at - there will be a happy ending of some sort. 'Cause I'm a sap. A long-winded sap. Thanks for the review.

Added you; now you are able to check the memory section of my LJ if I give you links / can see the icons etc.
Ah.. that's why Buffy wrote it; she thinks she has a maintain her reputation. I hope she won't forget what it may cost her...
Loved the update :)

Author's Response: Oh, thank you very much! I appreciate it.

Yes, Buffy's a little status conscious. Thank you and thanks for reviewing!

very nice :) love spike and buffy's characters in this; both generally good people but seperated by the high school ladder of popularity..i love it!!

Author's Response: Thank you! Yes, very separated - for now! Thanks for reviewing.

great

Author's Response: thanks! Thanks for reviewing! :)

It's starting out lovely...please continue. we need more good wuffy out there :)

Author's Response: Thank you. I agree, I can't find a lot that's finished. Barring some of the obvious wonderful ones, like Eurydice's "Legion of True Hearts", Elsa Frohman's "Cricket from California", Unbridled Brunette's "Forward to Time Past" (who I so owe reviews, because I was glued to that - I'm a bit behind in reading it now something has happened that made me sad). Found a lot of William slash stuff, which just isn't my thing. Annnnd...I'm babbling. Again. Thank you for the review!

yep, that was good! :D

u're right, the plot is nothing new. but your writing is great and your description of william very well done (i loved the 'smell of the books' part). you just hinted at buffy's personality and i can really wait for more. i do hope she will have a surprise for us under the cheerleder cover, such as bookish william is a martial art champion! :D

Author's Response: Thanks for the review :) I'm glad you liked the 'smell of books' bit. As you can probably tell, I love books!

Wow, you even have a Perm? Lucky one, you must use it :-D And upload some user pics *g* If you have questions, ask. Maybe I can answers them (or have some in my LJ memories). But to your story:
Oh.. to find out that you father or husband has left you fundless that's no fun. A
I like your William. He's bookish but not helpless because of his training.
William is an unknown quantity at his new school, more watching then participating. He noticed Buffy :)
Looking forward to how the tutoring will go.

Author's Response: Yes, I do! It's a shame too, because I haven't used it a bit so at the moment it's wasted, lol. Oh thank you! I'm planning to play with it a little, I've just been more into writing stuff this past week. I was mortified to realize that my first attempts at posting something showed up on the friends page of every community I had joined. So my long post with no cut was taking up sooo much space. Made it private and that solved that for the moment. I haven't gotten or made any user pics yet. Basically all I've done is buy the darn thing hehe.

Yes, he's not being noticed much, but he's watching everything. Of course he noticed Buffy! :) Thank you very much for reviewing and offering to help a floundering LJ noob.

Wonderful beginning! Can't wait to read more!

Author's Response: Thank you! Thanks for reviewing!

Cheerleader Buffy, hee. I like her.And William is cute. More please.

Author's Response: Yes, William is cute :) More coming. Thank you for leaving a review.

Author's Response: Ok! I have some written, I just have to write what goes in between, lol. Thank you for reviewing :)
