“Buffy! Wait up!” Spike yelled after Buffy as she stormed out of the school. After a couple of more steps he finally caught up to her and grabbed her arm, turning her around to face him, “What’s wrong? You haven’t said more than a handful of words to me all soddin’ day!”

“Why won’t I talk to you?!” Buffy yelled back at him while trying to free her arm, “I won’t talk to you because I don’t want to talk to you!”

“Well why the bloody hell not?!” Spike yelled raising his voice louder than hers.

“Because I don’t speak to people I am mad at!” She yelled trying to make her voice louder than his.

“Why are you mad at me?” William questioned, his voice barely above a whisper, with a hurt look on his face.

“Why?! You’re asking me why I’m mad at you?!” Buffy said still yelling.

Flashback

This morning started out like every other day, the Scoobies were just hanging around outside waiting for the bell.

“Will you soddin’ whelps leave me alone already?” William spoke getting angry.

“Nope.”

“Never.” Jonathan and Xander said in sync, “Face it, you’re just going to be stuck with the name from now on,” Jonathan continued.

“But I don’t want to be stuck with the name Spike!” William semi-shouted. Drusilla who just so happened to be walking by at the time stopped and intervened,

“I like the name Spike. Makes you sound bad. Like a dark prince,” Drusilla said, “like a dark bad prince,” she then let out a dog bark that was mixed with a growl, “ have you been a bad prince Spike?”

“Okay then…I’m gunna leave now how bout you Xand?” Jonathan said walking away and over to a bench.

“Definitely,” Xander said following.

“Me too,” Willow said joining them with Oz in tow. Then joined by Tara and Buffy. Soon they all started talking about their upcoming lunch. Except for Buffy she just sat on the bench watching Spike and Drusilla from afar. Even though she couldn’t hear what was being said she knew what was going on, she could tell by just watching them. I can’t believe this! How can he just stand there and flirt with her! Wait why should I care? I’m not jealous of them…yes I am. Urg stupid William with his stupid hair, and his hot body and… no, no not hot body I should have said hideous body. Yeah that’s right hideous. What I am saying I don’t mean any of this. I might as well just say it. I’ve fallen for him.

“Are you a prince my Spike?” Drusilla asked leaning into him.

“N-no. I’m h-hardly what y-you’d call a prince,” William stuttered.

“Oh, but I think you are. They told me you were,” Drusilla spoke.

”Who t-told you?” William asked with curiosity. Drusilla leaned in and placed her mouth right next to his ear and whispered,

“The stars,” then pulling away with a big grin on her face. Next thing they knew bell for their first classes rang. Buffy jumped out of her seat she was sitting in and practically ran over to Spike so that they could walk together to their classes like they’d been doing for the past couple of days. But when she got there,

“Hey Buffy, I’ll see you at lunch. I’m gunna walk Dru here to class,” Spike just told her without even glancing back as he headed off. Buffy just stood there in shock. Did he really just do that? Oh my god I think he did. Soon Willow and Tara were at her side trying to calm her down, as they had to push her to her classroom.

“Are you mad at me ‘cause I didn’t walk with you to class this morning?” Spike questioned with a bit of humor in his voice.

“No, it’s not that you didn’t walk with me to class,” Buffy answered.

“Then what the bloody hell is it?!” He yelled at her getting really frustrated.

“Fine you really want to know?”

“Yes I really do!”

“I am mad at you because you were with Drusilla! Okay happy now?” Buffy yelled finally getting her arm free and storming off in the direction of her house. Is she jealous? Why would she…Could she? With that he bolted off after her again and when he finally did he didn’t grab her arm, he just continued to walk along side of her,

“Are you jealous of Dru?”

“No I’m not jealous of her. Why the hell would I be?” Buffy replied not even bothering to look at him.

“I don’t know. You tell me.” Suddenly Buffy stopped, surprising William as he stopped a couple of steps ahead of her, and turned to face her as she started yelling again,

“I am not jealous of that down right skanky hoe! That would never happen. It’s not my fault that I like you and hate that you’d rather spend your time with that bitch than me; who as a matter-of-fact has a boyfriend. Although they are both always cheating on each other, but I don’t really give a shit about them!” Buffy’s eyes just went wide as she realized what she just told him. Crap I just had to get caught up in my anger. Good going Buffy.

“What did you just say?” William spoke in a soft voice hoping he had heard her ranting words properly and didn’t want to scare her off cause by the look on her face, she was as shocked as he was. Yup, he definitely heard you. Just act cool, pretend it never happened.

“Nothing. I didn’t say anything,” she quickly responded as she began walking again. Oh. My. God! Did I really just say that? Real smooth Summers. You might as well wear a sign on your shirt that says ‘I like William a.k.a. Spike’.

Where the hell did that come from? Wait did she just…no…I just didn’t hear the rest of the sentence. She meant to say I like you-r shirt, or hair. She didn’t just say…Oh My God…she likes you and you haven’t said a word yet…and where did she go?
“Buffy! Come on pet, talk to me!” He called out seeing her a couple of yards away. When he finally caught up to her he grabbed her arm and spun her around to face him once again,

“You like me,” He spat out a little harsher than he intended it to be.

“What do you want me to say, huh? You want me to tell you that I like you? Okay, I like you. There, you happy now? Just go ahead just laugh it up I don’t care. Just leave me alone,” she spoke the last part barely above a whisper.

“Why would I laugh?” Buffy finally looked up at his face and looked him in the eyes. He really had beautiful eyes. I swear I could just stare at them for hours.

“The question isn’t why would you, it would have to be why wouldn’t you?”

“Maybe…it’s c-cause… I like you t-too,” William stutteringly admitted with a small smile. With the look Buffy saw on his face she couldn’t do anything but return the smile. Soon the two blondes were walking side by side on their way home just staring at each other. Soon enough they came to a stop in front of their homes.

“So…walk with you to school tomorrow?” William questioned, breaking the silence that was between them. Where he got a smile and a nod from the petite blonde in front of him,

“I’ll see you tomorrow Will, or should I say Spike?” Buffy said with a huge grin on her face.

“That really never is gunna go away is it?” William groaned with a smile.

“With Xander and Jonathan having come up with it? Never.”

“Didn’t think so.”

“You got to admit, it goes with the whole bad boy look you got going for ya. And might I say that scar above your eye adds too it too. By the way I’ve been meaning to ask you, where exactly did you get that from?”

“One day I got shoved into the flag pole. Bashed my head on the thing pretty good too. Had to get five stitches.” Buffy visible winced as she heard the tale,

“Ouch. I’m sorry.”

“Nah, I’m used to it pet. No use in dwelling on the past now is there?”

“I guess not. Well…I shall see you tomorrow.”

“Definitely. I’ll pick you up in the morning so we can walk to school together like we usually do. Where we can walk to our classes together like we usually do,” Will joked with a smile, which made Buffy laugh,

“See ya.”

“Bye.” With that the two blondes turned away from each other and headed up the separate paths that led to their separate houses, where they went to their separate rooms. Although being in separate places they still managed to think the same thing,

What a day.
