I can't recall the name of this one. Drusilla convinces everyone in the high school to hate Buffy and she leads an isolated and lonely existence. Spike comes new to the school and is convinced that Buffy deserves the hatred too (although I think he is uneasy about it if I recall correctly). In the end Spike finds out it was all a lie and they get together yadda yadda yadda and so on and so forth.

Anyone remember the name or author of this one? It's really bugging me. Thanks.
