Chapter 1 - Back To School

September 1st and all the kids who attended Sunnydale High School were on their way back to that great institution of learning. Some obviously more eager than others, and some that really weren't bothered either way. Some of the less eager to attend were a gang of guys led by Liam O'Connor, or Angel, as he'd been christened by some girls a while back, a nickname that had really stuck.

Angel, along with his friends Alexander Harris (known as Xander) and Andrew Wells, stood by school gates, neither in nor out of school grounds, just on the edge where they always liked to be.

Many girls smiled at them as they walked by the coolest guys in school, a few wondering where the fourth member of the group was. Other young men nodded respectful greetings to the gang they wished they could be a part of and knew they never would be, all except for one person who didn't know he was supposed to care.

"Would you mind moving, please" he asked Angel in a polite tone as the brunette stood right in his path, "I'd like to get past"

Angel smirked to his friends before turning his attention to the new arrival.

"Say 'pretty please'" he told him and the boy looked at him strangely, before refusing to say the words.

"Well, that's not very nice, is it boys?" Angel commented to Xander and Andrew, the grin never slipping from his face, as he moved out of the way anyway.

Foolishly believing he'd won, the other young man walked by, tripping straight over the foot Angel stuck out in front of him, and landing flat on his face on the gravel path.

Several people laughed, including Angel who high-fived with Xander before the three guys in the black leather jackets walked away to find their missing member and their girls too.

The leader of the girls group, Buffy Summers, was currently trying to lose her little sister. Dawn was in her second year at Sunnydale High and Buffy's biggest annoyance was her younger sisters begging and pleading to be part of her 'gang'.

"Why can't you go bug your own friends and leave me and mine alone" the blonde complained as she looked around for the girls she spoke of.

"Because everyone knows your gang are the most popular girls in school, why can't I hang with you?" the brunette whined.

"Because you're a kid" Buffy reminded her, "Now go away and play with your little friends" she shoo-ed away her little sister, and was sure she heard Dawn curse under her breath, something their mother would definitely not approve of.

Suddenly, Cordelia Chase, Faith Wilkins and Willow Rosenburg came practically running at their fourth friend, calling her name as they hurried to meet her, and Buffy was glad she'd got rid of her sister in time, she was just an embarrassment!

"Hey guys" the blonde smiled, pushing her sunglasses up onto the top of her head so she could see her friends more clearly, "How was your Summer?" she asked Cordelia, the brunette that had yelled to her first.

"Absolutely excellent!" she gushed in reply "Daddy took me to Paris and then let me loose in the stores with his platinum card...do I really need to elaborate?" she grinned.

"Basically she bought half of the shoes in France" Faith explained in the simplest way possible, causing an eruption of giggles from all four of them.

"What about you Will?" Buffy addressed the quietest of her friends, hating the way the red-head always seemed to get left out of conversations "You have fun in England?"

"Oh it was so cool" the girls face lit up as she started to elaborate "I went to this museum and..."

"That's great Will..." Faith cut her off sharply, grabbing Buffy by the arm to make sure she had her attention "B, you should have stayed in Sunnydale. I mean, I know you wanted to see your Aunt and all in LA but man, the action at the beach this year..."

"Faith, what did you do?" Buffy smile a little as she rolled her eyes "Or should I say, who did you do?"

"Buffy!" the black-leather wearing brunette looked shocked "how could you accuse me of..." she stopped speaking as she busted up laughing "no I'm sorry, I can't even be bothered to do the fake innocence thing"

The other three girls laughed too before Faith finally got around to answering Buffy's question.

"Parker Abrams, Graham Miller, and both the Hobson twins" she counted on her fingers, and Buffy's eyes went wide.

"Dwayne and Del Hobson?" she gasped, as she pictured to two guys in her mind, they were just a year older than the girls and oh so fine.

"At the same time?" Cordelia gasped too.

"In the back of their Cadillac" Faith nodded and grinned proudly as Buffy and Cordelia giggled and Willow went ten shades of scarlet just thinking about it.

"What can I say?" the bad-girl shrugged "They're hot, and the car was hotter" she smirked "And you know me, I love a Cadillac" her body began to move as if she was back in that car "the feel of the leather just makes me wanna..." Cordelia held up a hand to silence her.

"Please, enough" she said as seriously as she could, but she just couldn't stop giggling at her friends antics "If I beg, will you stop?"

Faith nodded, agreeing she would stop anyway and as the four girls headed into the building she turned to Buffy.

"So what did you do this Summer, Summers?" she asked the blonde with a smirk "Apart from spending quality time with the folks" she rolled her eyes at the very idea, thrilled that her own family's idea of taking care of her was handing over as much cash as she needed.

"I shopped, I sun-bathed, I partied, y'know how it is" Buffy replied with a shrug, and all three of the other girls thought it was strange for her to be so underwhelmed by everything.

"It was a great Summer, made better by knowing this is the last time we gotta come back to this place" Cordelia commented as they passed over the threshold and into the already busy halls, to start their senior year.

"I'm glad to be back at Sunnydale High" Willow said with a smile before wincing at the triplicate looks of distaste she received "What did I say?" she cringed.

"You wanted to be back at school?" Faith asked in disbelief and Willow took a fast back pedal.

"Well, no, but, just cos...I missed Oz" she covered and the girls nodded that now they understood, as Willow let out a quiet but none the less relieved sigh. She was in this gang because of Buffy and Oz. She'd lived next door to the blonde girl since they were kids and was popular by association. Despite her somewhat geeky side, Willow's popularity had only grown as the local wannabe-singing sensation Daniel 'Oz' Osbourne found her attractive, and the two soon began dating

"Come to think of it" Cordelia frowned "where are the guys?"

It was actually after registration when the male part of the group put in an appearance. Faith, Buffy, Cordelia and Willow were all standing by their lockers, doors open as they looked for the books they needed and, more importantly, checked their appearance in the mirrors attached to the inside of their locker doors.

"Hey baby" Buffy heard a whisper in her ear as someone's hand grabbed her ass.

"Angel!" she snapped, smacking his hand away "Would you quit it! I am not your 'baby' anymore" she complained, turning to yell at him before immediately turning back to the mess she called a locker.

"I was just being friendly" the tall, brunette, undeniably gorgeous young man shrugged in innocence as Willow and Cordelia both shot him a look. It wasn't long before the four girls were hidden from the school populous' view by three guys, all in black leather jackets, the trademark of Angel's gang.

"Hi Buffy" the shortest of the three, Andrew, smiled and Buffy forced a small smile back. She had nothing against the boy really, it was just Angel who drove her crazy lately.

"Hey Angel" Faith said in her sexiest voice as he came to lean on the wall right by her locker

"Lookin' good Faith" he commented as his eyes roamed her body, before he glanced briefly at Buffy and then back again.

"Not so bad yourself" the dark haired girl smiled, her own eyes going in a decidedly southern direction.

"Cordelia" the third man, Xander, addressed his girlfriend, copying Angel's stance by leaning on the spare locker between Cordy and Willow's "You miss me this Summer?" he smirked, knowing she must have done.

"No" came her immediate answer "Why? Did you miss me?"

"Hell no" her boyfriend protested and everyone watched with amusement as the pair continued "glad to be away from your annoying voice for a while" Xander said almost, but not quite, nastily.

"Yeah, well, it was a pleasure to not have to see your ugly face for a few weeks" Cordelia shot back.

"You drive me crazy" her boyfriend all but exploded, leaning closer to her.

"You make me sick" she sneered, moving closer to him too.

"God, I love you" Xander admitted before crushing his lips to Cordelia's in a bruising kiss. Anyone else would have been shocked or at least surprised to see such behaviour from two people who seconds ago were tearing each other to shreds, as they tried to get as close as was possible without getting inappropriate. But it was just the everyday norm for the friends that watched the scene.

"I love you too" Cordelia grinned as the pair finally came up for air and finally everyone's eyes shifted back to other places.

"Anyone seen Oz yet?" Andrew suddenly piped up, it was unlike any member of their group to be missing.

"No, where is he at?" Xander wondered aloud, looking to his left as Oz appeared to his right.

"I'm right here, man" the late arrival grinned as he tapped the brunette on the other shoulder, confusing him immensely.

"Hey, how was Vegas?" Angel asked the guy with the currently blue hair.

"Totally cool" came the reply "one thing missing though..." he smiled as he turned to the so far almost silent red-headed girl as she closed her locker quietly.

"Hi" Willow said shyly as Oz leaned toward her, her back against the locker door.

"Hi" he whispered back right before he kissed her, but they were all too soon interrupted by the shrill ringing of the bell, telling the whole gang that classes started right now.

"And so the torture begins again" Faith sighed as she was the last of the girls to slam her locker door shut, "Chem class here I come" she complained.

"Same here" Angel smiled, "I'll walk you"

"Cool" she nodded with a smile of her own as they walked together down the hall, Xander and Cordelia right behind them, his arm over her shoulders, and Andrew following on behind.

Buffy watched them go and marvelled at how not jealous she was of Faith. Angel had clearly decided to use the brunette to make Buffy envious, and the blonde could see that plan a mile away, but she knew it wasn't going to work, he just wasn't what she wanted anymore.

"Buffy" Willow tried to get the girl's attention back from wherever she had zoned out to, "Oz and me have to get to music class...are you okay?" she checked.

"I'm fine" the blonde nodded, "er..I think I have English" she said, referring to her schedule, "So I'll see you guys later"

"Sure, we'll see you at lunch" the red head smiled before Oz took hold of her hand and led her away down the hall.

Buffy glanced around and realised she really should be moving toward class, and whilst she wasn't jealous of her friends relationships, it would be kind of nice to have someone to call hers. Only problem was, she realised, as the halls cleared around her, she was never going to find the guy she really wanted at Sunnydale High.

There was this picture in her mind, the coolest guy you could ever imagine, strong and tough and exciting, but with a gentle side, caring and sweet, and obviously totally gorgeous. There wasn't a man like that, not in this High school, anyone who came close would have been in Angel's gang. She'd dated Angel and got tired of him all too quickly.

As for the rest of them, Xander and Oz were okay but really not what she wanted and they were dating Cordy and Willow anyway. That left Andrew, who really only got into the gang because of the respect the other guys had for his brother.

Tucker Wells and Angel's cousin, Lindsay McDonald, had ruled the school in their senior year, just four years ago. Everyone knew that Angel would take pride in walking in Lindsay's shoes and he allowed Andrew to be one of his gang out of respect for Tucker, there was no way anyone would look twice at the little geek otherwise, expect to pummel him into the pavement. As it was Andrew got almost as much respect as the rest of the leather clad group who earned the admiration they got from the student population by being the best looking, coolest guys in the school.

Lost in thoughts and completely oblivious to where she was going, Buffy walked right into a young man coming the other way down the hall, his eyes fixed firmly on a piece of paper in his hands instead of the direction in which he was walking.

"Watch it!" Buffy complained as her books spilled from her arms all over the floor and the nameless man before her bent to pick them up for her.

"I'm sorry" he said immediately as they crouched together on the floor, gathering up books and paper, "I was trying to follow this map" the young man explained, in a well-spoken British accent "I think I'm a bit lost, first day you see"

"Whatever" Buffy huffed as she stood up straight again, her books now back in her grasp, the mystery man soon stood up too and they finally looked at each other properly.

Blue eyes were what hit Buffy first, but mostly hidden behind the most unattractive glasses. Facially she'd seen worse than him, good cheekbones she noted, but he was too pale. His hair was light brown and seemed to stick out in every conceivable direction, none of which were the right one. Her eyes travelled down and she had to stifle a laugh as she saw an outfit her father would most probably wear when the family was going out somewhere. Of all the people she might have bumped into, Buffy realised with a humourless laugh she had just met the man that was so far from the kind of guy she'd been daydreaming about it was unbelievable.

"I'm late" she mumbled, not offering to help the still nameless man in his struggles to find his classroom or even swap names with him. He watched her go and realised once she was out of sight what an idiot he was.

Not only had he almost knocked the most beautiful girl in the world off her feet, he'd then been so blinded by her beauty that he hadn't even asked her name or introduced himself or anything. Shaking his head at his own stupid behaviour he checked the map in his hands again and searched for the classroom he knew had to be around here somewhere.
