Spuffy starts as lust and becomes more. That's just the real way of their relationship. I love the angst. Spuffy angst is the best.

Author's Response: If you like angst, you'll certainly like this story. Very much angsty ahead.

Take control, Spike. But Buffy's another story. Doesn't he have some painting to do? Will Faith start without him? I haven't read that poem in so long, I'd forgotten about it. Glad to see their still reading it in school. Thanks ALT.

Author's Response: Still reading in school... >.> I did my term paper on Robert Frost, and that was about the time I wrote this chapter. I just felt the poem fit awesomingly in with the story. And Spike will take control, maybe too much.

I liked the poem lesson. I bet they´ll miss the assembly, I mean who wouldn´t? :p But I guess he´ll turn her down again, the closet isn´t maybe the right place?

Author's Response: You're dead on. Poetry lesson was, IIRC, something I personally preached in class. Thanks for reviewing. :D

That's really great... the poem lesson. I really despise the way some teachers do poetry interpretations. D: My sophomore year, we read this poem and my English teacher said exactly what Spike's did, haha. A bit annoying, really; she was quite unimaginative.

Author's Response: Sometimes I think I'm too hard on teachers in the story. But then I remember my schooling, and that thought becomes squished. ;)

Damn, slut Buffy is full on in this story. Can't wait for another update!

Author's Response: Thanks for pointing that out. I might tone down a little on sluttishness... I need to look at things from Buffy's POV more.

I absolutely loved the ending of this chapter, very well done.The dialouge was perfect and flowed, Spike's add ons were brilliant and brassy totally like Spike- and I enjoyed the reference to Frost's qoute- thought well used and relative. Spikes insert on noncomformity shows hes not the classic bully with an bruised inner child mentality. Both his insert and 'teaching a blowfish how to iceskate" had me rolling and proud. But I am surpised that as round as the characters buffy and spike are, the rest of the characters like Mr. Davis and Riley read to me as flat? I understand that they're supporting and not the main focus of the plot, but for being off center, when mentioned their qualities seem over emphasized. Dumb jocks and oblivious teachers. The story flows quite well, and the diaglouge between Davis and Spike is written well (loved spikes turnabout and explaination), however it's these few points of overemphasis that interrupts the story like a small speed bump for me. I liked how you showed his naiveness by describing his tenchinques (putting him on the spot, reading the note, etc), the characters read better to me in that sort of 'show, not tell' kind of way. But other times I got the feeling you were writing the same thing but in different words. But as usual I enjoyed this chapter =) another great one and I am so excited to read more!

Author's Response: Did I ever tell you you're my hero? :) Please, PLEASE make comments like this every chapter. I would love you forever. And not just the praise, but the criticism, also. The criticism is way more important to me because it tells me what I might be doing wrong, or at least what upsets readers. I tried to write Mr. Davis and Riley as flat as I could, to be honest. It's like a crutch, of sorts, because it makes Spike/Buffy all that much more round and endearing. The difference is black and white, night and day, between them. Eventually I might "cut the crap" and have a little popular/teacher sympathy, but now they're pretty much my vehicle to denouncing 'em. You can thank my mom for the blowfish/iceskate idea, we had to watch figure skating on Christmas. LMAO.

A pep rally, who cares? I double if anyone would notice them not there. What they are up is much more important to this story, than reading about no neck jocks.

I think everyone is trying to catch up on stories due to Christmas events not letting people read. This is a very good story.

Author's Response: Yeah... just trying to use "suck" as many times as I could there. ;)

Spike teaching the class like that was freaking awesome! His line about the how the poem just IS, GOD!! I felt that way all through high school. I still remember how people wold pick apart and try and figure out why Frost repeated the last line in Stopping by Woods on a Snowing Evening. Then he finally told people that he simply thought it sounded good. HA! That's priceless that is.

And oh yeah, HOT scene in that there closet. ;)

Looking forward to more. =)

Author's Response: My favorrrrrrrrite reviewer! =D Borrowed heavily from personal experiences in high school, where my teachers would always ask "what is the meaning of this poem?" and I'd just laugh. It's such an open-ended question; it's different for every person and every mood. Poetry, especially multi-layered deep stuff, can have so many meaning and people can interpret it in so many ways. That's what I was trying to convey, anyway. That and the worthlessness of high school. ;)

This was a really good chapter. Spike was brillant in teaching that class. He's right, live life how you want to.

Author's Response: Definitely cliche, but I felt it related to Buffy's situation. Maybe even his own.
