“Any thoughts on this week’s reading?” Mr. Giles walked in front of his desk at the end of class hoping that someone sometime would start a thrilling debate. “Yes Buffy.” Buffy had raised her hand only because she had felt so passionately about the short story that was assigned for homework the night before. At 17 years old, Buffy was a high school senior that had never been kissed, had gotten A’s and B’s, and knew she was attending UC Sunnydale in the fall. She was shy and had only two friends, Willow Rosenberg and Xander Harris, who also were quiet and didn’t speak out that much. So it came to Mr. Giles’ surprise when her hand shot up.

“I think that the struggle that Jim had was absolutely amazing, the fact that he had to kill his mother after the psychological damage she endured, that he held the burden of, was heart wrenching. I honestly didn’t think he was going to let the doctors pull the plug.” Buffy shrunk back down into her seat blushing as if she had done something horribly wrong.

“Buffy that’s very good.” Mr. Giles had always tried to get Buffy out of her shell since she transferred to Sunnydale High and was happy that she was trying a little harder even though it was the end of her last year. “Anyone want to counter that?” There was a long pause. Then ‘Spike’ Giles, Mr. Giles’ nephew, spoke up without raising his hand.

“I think he’s a ponce.” Mr. Giles stood up a little more straight and tensed knowing that he had opened a can of worms.

“Right, well, do you wish to elaborate?”

“Yeah, I do.” Spike smirked “Jim was a loser who felt sorry for himself, he blamed himself for leaving his mother with a monster of a man, but it happens.” Spike chose that moment to focus on Buffy. “He didn’t kill her, he took the easy way, he chose to not have to live with the burden. He did the most selfish thing he could have by giving up on his sick mum.”

“What?!? Were we reading the same story? It was his present to her. He realized that she had suffered enough, it was a gift to her.” Buffy recoiled at her sudden outburst of rage.

“Yeah, because death is a gift.”

“Well I know it’s one that I don’t want.” Cordelia Chase offered Spike. He laughed and looked at her boyfriend Doyle and gave him a ‘your girlfriend is an idiot’ look, then started back in on Buffy.

“Know we were reading the same story but you obviously don’t know what it’s like to lose a—” The bell rang leaving Spike to ponder his hanging words.

‘Didn’t she lose her mother last year? Well now I’m the ponce.’

“Buffy, William can I see you for a moment.” Buffy was petrified that she had done something wrong. When Mr. Giles took off his glasses to clean them she feared the worst. “Buffy I was wondering if you could do us a favor?” She looked questioningly at him not understanding what was going on.

“What the bloody hell do you mean ‘us’?” Mr. Giles and Buffy both gave Spike a disapproving look, he rolled his eyes at their seemingly prudishness.

“Spike please watch your language it may not be school hours but you are still at school, do not make me have to tell you again.”

He sighed his frustration out. After his mother Anne died four years ago Rupert was given custody of his nephew William, he thought that it was best if he moved to the states near some of their other family and to keep William out of trouble. It didn’t go as he had planned. William became worse, starting with his freshmen year of high school, beginning with a rebellion by bleaching his hair and only wearing black, then came the dreadful language and the swearing.

“Spike you are failing my class, Buffy you are one of my best students. I was wondering if you would be able to help Spike to work towards a more reasonable grade?” Giles looked down trying to think of a way to get Buffy to help his wayward nephew, maybe even help him remember who he was.

“Uh, I guess.”

“Listen Rupert, I get that you’re just trying to help but I don’t need it.” Spike shrugged not caring if either one was offended.

“Spike if you don’t pass my class you won’t graduate.” Rupert held firm trying to get though the Spike that it was imperative for him to work harder.

“Fine!” Spike glared at them both.

“I haven’t said if I would help or not.” Both Rupert and Spike were surprise by Buffy’s bluntness since she was so normally quiet.

“What do I get out of this? I am assuming I can’t do it for extra credit since I don’t need it.” Rupert gave a slight nod. “Well I don’t know if....” then Buffy thought of something that she could use help with and all was solved. She just couldn’t ask Spike with his uncle with them.

“I believe I can think of something for Spike to help me with if he agrees I’ll help him.” she smiled a little and for the first time Spike noticed how cute she was.

“Ok deal.” Spike said still mad about the situation.

“Thank you so much Buffy why don’t you accompany Spike home and get started.” Rupert smiled at them both.

“Ok.” She looked down and blushed thinking that she wasn’t sure that she could ask Spike for his help, but it was senior year so she had to try.
~*~*~*~

Buffy was shocked by the size of Spike’s room, it was at least twice the size of hers and half as dirty.
“I can’t believe your room is this clean, I would have thought that there was barely any rug visible. You don’t look like the type to be this tidy.” She giggled a little then immediately felt stupid for it.

“Don’t judge a book by its cover. Well, do you know what you want me to do.” Buffy sat on his bed since there was no other place to sit, happy that she didn’t have to bring it up she decided that she couldn’t chicken out now.

Well, here goes nothing.

“Iwantyoutoteachmeaboutsex.” She looked at him then looked away not wanting to see his reaction.

“EXCUSE ME?” Spike was floored. That was not what he expected

“Ok look, I know you probably think that I’m hopeless but if you teach me I might be able to have a good last few months at school.” She bit her lip feeling more embarrassed then she ever had in her life.

“Ok....... Well, why me? We don’t even know each other.” Spike sat down next to her on the mattress not knowing was to think.

“I know but you’re popular and a guy and I just thought that you could maybe help since I’m going to help you.”

“Did you fail health, I mean sex is pretty straight forward.” He laughed inwardly not believing the odd predicament.

“I know how to do it but I want some experience, like you could help me understand what guys like.”

“Fine but if we’re gonna do this, pet, you can’t back out at the last minute ok?” Buffy looked at Spike very confused.

“Wait you’ll help me?” He nodded and her eyes went wide. She leaned in and kissed him.

“Yeah well you’re helping me.” He smiled at her satisfaction.

Wow, I could really like this girl. I wonder why we’ve never talked.

“Thank you so much!!!” She hugged him one more time. “Now let’s get to work on studying.”
