*****

Buffy Summers sat in her English class listening to her teacher explain to the class the story of Romeo and Juliet. She knew her teacher would want everyone to read the book, and she wasn't looking forward to it. Buffy hated reading books, its not like she couldn't read, she could read well actually, she just found them completely boring. And the way William Shakespeare had wrote the story, she knew she'd probably go insane after reading the first couple of pages.

"Psst....Buffy"

Buffy looked over to her best friend Willow, who was looking at her questioningly .She was dressed in a purple and green striped long sleeved shirt, and had on a pair of jean overalls. Her long fiery red hair was tied into a ponytail.

"What?" Buffy whispered

"You bronzing it tonight with me and Xander, Oz's band is playing?" Xander was another one of Buffy's close friends. Willow and Xander had been best friends since they were really little, and willow had even had a crush on him all the way through junior high, and right up until she had started to date Oz a year ago.

"Ya, I'll probably be there around 8" she answered, hoping her mother had no plans to have a mother-daughter night tonight.

"Great, I think Xanders bringing his new gir....."

Before Willow could finish the buzzer from schools intercom went off. Everyone, including the teacher stopped talking as Principle Fluties voice boomed.

"Could You send Buffy Summers down to the office please?"

*Me? Oh god, what did I do now* She thought. Buffy looked over at Willow, giving her a look, asking if she knew what this was about. Willow looked back, equally as confused.

Buffy stood up and picked up her notebook off her desk. As she walked towards the door, she heard people whispering, wondering what she had done. * while I'm as clueless as all of u* she said to them all silently.

She turned back to Willow, mouthed "good luck" to her, and walked out the door.

**********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************

Buffy walked down the quiet hallway towards the principles office, trying to figure out what she had done that Mr. Flutie might want to see her about. She couldn't figure it out. * My marks have been good lately, so that can't be it* she thought to herself. When she reached the office she walked in, and the secretary looked up from her desk.

"Buffy, just go right in, Mr. Flutie is waiting for you"

Buffy smiled at her before walking nervously into his office. Mr. Flutie sat at his desk drinking a coffee. He looked up and gave her a light smile.

"Buffy, have a seat" he motioned to the chair in front of his desk. "Now I'm sure you are wondering why you are here, don't worry, you aren't in any trouble"

Buffy breathed out a sigh of relief. * well then why am I here* she asked herself.

"We have a new student who is coming to our school tomorrow, and I need someone to show her around , make sure she gets to all of her classes, introduce her to other people stuff like that. and I thought you would be the perfect person, you've always seemed to get along with everyone, I've never had any difficulties with you"

*Show a new person around, oh god, that's just how I wanna spend my day* she cringed inwardly.* Oh well, at least I'm not in trouble*

"Sure, I don't mind" Buffy answered.

"Great, come to my office tomorrow morning before your first class and I'll introduce her to you" he said.

Just then the bell rang signaling the end of the school day. Buffy looked up at her principle wondering if he had anything more to say.

"You can go now, and thank you for doing this, I appreciate it"

She smiled at him and walked out the door.

*************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************

When Buffy got to her locker Willow, Xander, and Oz were waiting there for her.

"Are you in trouble, what did he have to say?" asked Willow anxiously.

Opening her locker, Buffy stuffed her books into it and grabbed her jacket and her book bag.

"No, I'm not in trouble, tomorrow there's a new girl coming and I have to show her around" Buffy answered annoyed. "Why did I get stuck with this job?" she whined.

"Is she hot?" asked Xander.

Willow and Buffy turned to look at him. "uhh....just forget I said anything" he held his hands up and stepped back.

"This is gonna suck, I have to spend the day with her, show her where all her classes are, introduce her to people and everything," Buffy exclaimed slamming her locker shut.

"Maybe it won't be that bad Buffy, she might be really nice, you never know" said Willow trying to cheer Buffy up.

Buffy started down the hallway, slinging her book bag over her shoulder, Willow and the guys following her.

"Maybe, but I bet you she's gonna be boring, just you wait and see".....................................................

Part 2:

later that night

Buffy looked at her self in the mirror. She had on a black skirt, and a blood red tank top, and knee high black leather boots. She looked dressed to kill. Her hair was tied up in a French twist, with a few little tendrils hanging down, framing her face. Her make up was light, and she had a touch of gloss on her lips.

"Perfect" she said puckering her lips.

Grabbing her purse, she made her way out of her bedroom and down the stairs.

"Mom I'm leaving now!"

"Okay honey, don't stay out too late, you have school tomorrow!"

*Ya, don't remind me* Buffy thought to herself, frowning

She pulled her jacket off the hook and walked out the door.

*****************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************

The music was loud as Buffy stepped in the Bronze. The Bronze wasn't as full as it usually was, probably considering it was a school night after all. She scanned the room looking for her friends. Spotting Willow, who was waving a hand at her, she made her way over to their table.

"Hey guys!" she said.

"Hey!" exclaimed Willow

She grabbed a chair from a nearby table and placed it next to Willow. Willow was dressed in blue long sleeved shirt with a long black skirt. Oz, who nodded his hello, was dressed in a black button down shirt, and black jeans. She turned to look at Xander. He had his arm wrapped around a very pretty brunette. She was dressed in a long black short dress, with her long straight dark hair left down. *Must be the new girl Willow was talking about* she thought.

The brunette looked at Buffy, smiling brightly she stuck out her hand "Hi, I'm Cordelia, you must be Buffy"

"Hi, its nice to meet you" Buffy said shaking the girls hand.

Just then Buffy felt a light tap on her shoulder. Turning around she frowned at who it was. Riley Finn. He kept asking her out and she kept turning him down. He just didn't seem to get it, she just wasn't interested in him.

"Hi Buffy, do you wanna dance?" he smiled, offering his hand.

"No sorry Riley, I'm not really in the mood"

"Just one dance that's all" he tried to grab her arm and pull her to him, but Buffy moved her arm out of his reach

"Look Riley, you're really nice and all, I just...." before she could answer a dark brunette came up behind Riley. The girl had dark red lipstick on, and her makeup was heavy, but somehow it looked amazing on her. She was dressed in a leather tank top that showed a lot of cleavage and her leather pants looked like they were poured on to her. Buffy could see a diamond stud just above her navel. The girl had a tattoo band that went around her upper left arm.

"Well look who it is" she said to Riley with a smirk.

Riley turned away from Buffy to see who it was. He gave the girl a shocked look.

"What are you doing here" he said angrily.

"Well, fishboy, its really none of your business, but if you really must know, I live in old Sunnydale now"

Buffy looked at Willow and smiled. "fishboy" she mouthed, chuckling.

"What happened? Mommy and Daddy kick you out after they realized what a slut you were?" Riley sneered.

The girl laughed. "Nice Riley, but the whole slut thing is getting really tiring, you're just jealous. I've never had a problem getting guys..... OR girls for that matter." she said with a twinkle in her eye.

"You couldn't get any back home, and looks like you're not getting any here either. You couldn't even get her to dance with ya" she said nodding her head at Buffy.

Riley glared angrily at the girl. He clenched his fists at his sides. A few people had stopped what they were doing and were looking at them.

"Hey whats going on here" a voice came from behind the girl. A guy who looked to be about 22 stepped out into everyones view. He had bleached blonde hair and piercing blue eyes. He had on a a black silk button down shirt and black leather pants. Over it all, he had on a long black duster that reached down to his knees.

"Spike" Riley spoke through gritted teeth.

"Finn"

"Your whore of a sister was just being a bitch like she usually is" snorted Riley.

Buffy couldn't believe the side of Riley she was seeing, she knew something was off about him, but she didn't think he was this much of an ass.

"You had better watch your mouth, unless you want your teeth knocked out" said Spike, moving to stand in front of him. Though Spike was a couple inches shorter than Riley, there was incredible power radiating off of him.

There was now a crowd of people gathered around, watching the 3 people with interest.

The girl pushed between Spike and Riley.

"Hey, come on, Spike, I don't need you defending me. If I remember correctly, I kicked his ass once. I think he knows not to mess with me anymore" she smirked. Buffy smirked right along with her. *Riley got his ass kicked by a girl*

"Oh ya, how is sweet little Caroline, I hope she's doing all right" Riley smirked.

The girl flew at Riley and before anyone had a chance to stop her, she had knocked him to the floor and was punching him in the face.

"You fucking jerk, you have no right to even say her name" she screamed at him, punching him over and over again. Riley was trying to push her off of him, but she had her legs wrapped tightly around his hips.

Buffy got our of her chair quickly, just as Rileys foot shot out and kicked it, sending it crashing to the floor. Willow and Oz got up, as did Xander and Cordelia. Xander had a smile on his face, loving the fact that a girl was kicking Riley's ass.

The blonde guy named Spike reached down and pried his sister off of Riley. It took a lot of work, but finally he got her to let go of him. Buffy looked down at Riley. His nose was bloody, he had a cut on his lip which was already starting to swell. His right eye was red, tomorrow he'd have a nice shiner. He slowly got up on his feet, staggering a little. He looked at the girl with anger.

"Bitch!" he spat out. He took one last look at her, then turned around and walked out of the club, clutching his nose.

The crowd erupted into cheers and whistles. Spike moved next to his sister, making sure she was alright.

"Great job, you sure did a number on him" said Xander looking at the girl. She looked up and looked at the group of teens, as if noticing them for the first time.

She smiled. "Thanx"

"Are you alright?" asked Spike, looking worriedly at her, checking her for any sort of bruises.

"Of course I'm alright, Rileys no problem" stated the girl, glaring at her brother.

The girl turned back around and faced Buffy.

"I'm sorry about that, but fishboy's an asshole, stay away from him and you'll be better off"

Buffy smiled.

"Believe me I've never even considered going out with him, he just doesn't seem to get it" she stuck out her hand. "I'm Buffy Summers."

The dark haired girl shook Buffy's hand. She smiled. "Faith O'Connor"

*****
Part 3:

Buffy felt the electricity from Faith's hand, she quickly jerked her hand back.

"I'm Willow, and this is Oz" spoke the redhead. Faith shook both of their hands. Xander and Cordelia both introduced themselves.

"Oh, and this is my brother Spike" Faith said looking him and smiling.

"Yah, Hi, now Faith can we please get out of here?" he asked her annoyed.

"You know, you don't have to be such a grump." she answered, frowning at him.

"Well we've only been here for 2 days and you've already gotten in a fight" he looked at his watch. "and we're late for the party, Dru's gonna be angry, I'm telling her it was your fault"

Buffy couldn't help but chuckle at their childish antics. They seemed to be really close

"Ok ok, we're going, geesh, calm down" Faith smirked at her brother.

"Sorry, but we've gotta go, it was nice meeting ya, maybe we'll see ya around later" she looked at Buffy for a minute and smiled. Then she turned around and was lead out of the club by Spike.

Buffy couldn't help but follow Faith with her eyes, she felt as though she was drawn to her. She certainly was a beautiful woman.

"Buffy!"

She was startled out of her thoughts by Willows voice.

"Yah?"

"I asked what you thought of Faith"

"Oh...umm, she seems nice, doesn't she?" she asked everyone.

"Yah, a little wild though" said Cordelia. Everyone nodded.

Willow looked at her watch. "Well I should get going, my mom didn't want me out late tonight"

Buffy nodded, knowing she should probably head home too. "Yah I'll walk with you, I have to get up early to get to the school before class starts" she frowned.

She stood up and grabbed her jacket off her chair. Saying goodbye to the others, the girls left the Bronze.

*************************************************************************************************************************

the next day

Buffy walked up the steps of her High School. She had on a long black skirt and a light green top. She had never been at school this early before. The halls only had a couple of students in them. As she walked to the office her thoughts drifted last night. She chuckled as she remembered Riley getting his ass kicked. She wondered if he'd have the guts to show his face at school today. Then she thought about Faith. The electricity that had coursed through her when she shook Faiths hand had startled Buffy to say the least. It was something Buffy didn't want to examine to closely right now. She wondered if she'd run into the brunette again.

Buffy walked in to the office and the secretary looked up. "You can go right in, Principle Flutie is waiting for you"

"Thanx."

Buffy walked up to the door of his office and knocked on the door. Principle Flutie opened the door and smiled at her.

"Buffy, come in" Buffy walked into the room. She was shocked to see who was sitting in a chair in front his desk. Faith.

She had on tight fitting blue jeans and dark blue tank top, with a leather jacket to top it off.

"Buffy this is Faith." Principle Flutie introduced.

"Hey B" smirked Faith.

Buffy smiled back. "Hi"

*Maybe today wouldn't be so bad after all*

*****
Part 4:

"And this is the Cafeteria" Buffy said to Faith as she led her into the empty room. She had shown Faith the whole school, and this was the last place on the tour.

"Its bigger than my old school's cafeteria, does the food suck as much here as it did there?" Faith asked.

Buffy nodded. "It's disgusting."

Faith laughed. "okay, then I won't even attempt to try it." She looked at the clock on the wall. It read 8:30am. "class start at 9:00?"

Buffy nodded again.

"Good, I can go out and have a smoke before class, you smoke?" Faith asked.

"Uh...no....but I'll come out with ya if you want" Buffy said, for some reason she wanted to spend as much time with her as possible.

"Alright"

******************************************************************************************************

The girls sat down on a bench outside the school. Faith reached into her jeans and pulled out a pack of cigarettes. Buffy looked at her lighter.

It was in the shape of a heart and it had a stake through it.

"cute" said Buffy nodding towards the lighter.

"Oh, Yah, Spike gave it to me for my birthday" Faith smiled. Buffy could tell by the smile that her and Spike were close.

"So B, tell me about yourself" spoke Faith as she took a drag of her cigarette, turning around to face Buffy.

*She keeps calling me B. Is that because she can't remember my name?* Buffy thought to herself.

"What?" asked Faith seeing a strange look come across the other girls face.

"Nothing......" Buffy thought for a moment. "Why do you keep calling me B?"

"I don't know, I guess I think it suits you" Faith explained. "Why, don't you like it? I'll stop calling you it if you want"

"No!" Buffy said a little too quickly. "It's just that no one has ever called me that before." She liked the nickname her new friend had given her. A little more than she was willing to admit.

"So then you don't care?"

"No, I just....."Buffy blushed slightly. "I thought maybe you forgot my name or something."

Faith laughed. "believe me I wouldn't forget your name, your the only Buffy I've ever met" She took another drag of her smoke.

"Tell me about yourself" Faith repeated.

"What do you wanna know?" asked Buffy.

"Do you have a boyfriend?" Faith asked.

Buffy was a little shocked at the forward question, but managed to hide it. "No not at the moment, do you?

"Me, no way, I'm not into the whole relationship thing, Its a waste of time, I just fuck them and then I'm gone" Faith exclaimed. She laughed as Buffys cheeks turned red at her crude language.

"Am I corrupting your virgin ears B?" she joked.

"No.....uhh...I" Buffy stuttered.

"B, I'm only kidding" Faith said still smiling. She didn't want to embarrass the girl anymore then she already was. She changed the subject. "How long have you lived in Sunnydale?"

Buffy glad for the change of subject answered. "Since I was 7, before that I lived in New York. Where did you live before you came here?"

"Well, lets see, I lived in Florida for 4 years, then we moved to Detroit for 6 year. Before Sunnydale I was living in LA." Faith said putting out her smoke on the arm of the bench.

"What made you decide to come to Sunnydale, I mean no offense, but I would think that LA would be a whole lot better than this place" Buffy stated.

Faith smirked. "It is, But I got kicked out of my old school and my parents transferred me to Sunnydale High. Spike came along with me, he didn't want me to have to live out here on my own, or so that's what he says, I think he just wanted to come out here cause his girlfriend lives out here" she laughed.

*Kicked out of school, I wonder what she did* Buffy thought to herself.

Just then the bell rang.

"Oh I really don't wanna go to class" Faith whined standing up.

Buffy laughed "It won't be that bad Faith, what do you have first period?"

"Math with Mrs. Fischl" she complained "I hate math"

"You have it with me, don't worry I'll help you if you don't understand something ok?" Buffy said as they walked up the building.

Faith gave Buffy a bright smile as she walked through the doors in front of Buffy. "Thanx B!" Buffy's heart skipped a beat when Faith gave her that smile.

* She has such a pretty smile, she really is beautiful* Buffy shook her head. She shouldn't be having these thoughts. But no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't stop herself from thinking about the dark haired girl.

***********************************************************************************************

"Thank god its over!" exclaimed Faith as she walked out of English. Buffy was right beside her. They had realized that they both had all the same classes. Buffy was happy because it gave her more time to spend with the intriguing brunette.

As they walked down the hall towards there lockers, they were blocked by a tall muscular body. Buffy looked up to look in the brown eyes of Garret Miller. As captain of the football team he was the dream date of many of the girls in Sunnydale High. Not Buffy. She couldn't stand him, just thought he was a jerk who was completely full of himself. She looked over and saw a group of his friends watching them. They all had huge smiles on their faces.

Garret was hungrily looking Faith over. "Hey sweetheart, you're new aren't you?" he asked her. Faith looked over to Buffy and silently rolled her eyes. Buffy tried not to laugh.

"Ya I am, and who are you?" asked Faith clearly annoyed with him.

"Garret Miller. You know if you need someone to show you around town, I'd be happy to be the one to do it" he said he reached over and put his arm around her shoulders.

"Thanx, but its alright. I don't need a tour guide, I've already seen the town" she answered breaking free of his arm. As she started to walk, he once again stopped her.

"Okay, well then how about you and me go out tonight, I could show you a few things of my own" Garret answered huskily, pulling her against his body.

Faith laughed and pushed him away. "Honey, you think you could satisfy me? I don't think so" She stepped closer to him and brought her voice down to a whisper, but Buffy could still hear her.

"I could ride you at a gallop until your legs buckled and your eyes rolled up. I've got muscles you've never even dreamed of. I could squeeze you until you popped like warm champagne, and you'd beg me to hurt you just a little bit more. And you know why I won't? Because I only sleep with men, not *boys*"

Garret looked stunned.

Buffy laughed out loud. She couldn't believe what Faith had just said.

The girls left a shocked Garret behind them as they continued to walk down the hall. They could hear his friends making fun of him for getting shot down. Buffy smiled.

She looked at Faith out of the corner of her eye. She was unlike anyone Buffy had ever met. And she couldn't help but want to get to know Faith even better.

Faith looked at Buffy, smiled and then gave her a wink. She smiled in return. She definitely wanted to get to know her better...............

*****
Part 5:

Buffy sat in her bedroom listening to the music, flipping through a magazine. She was bored out of her mind. Willow had gone to the movies with Oz. She had been invited to go but didnt want to be a 3rd wheel, so she had turned the invitation down. Xander and Cordelia had gone to the Bronze, and Buffy hadn't felt like hanging out with them tonight either, she thought Cordelia was a little stuck up. With nothing left to do, she had come up to her bedroom, turned on the music and grabbed a pile of magazines to read. As she was reading the column on embarrassing moments, the phone rang. She sighed, wondering who would be calling her.

Picking up the phone she said " Hello"

"Hey B, what's up?"

"Faith? Is that you?" Buffy smiled, happy to hear the brunettes voice.

Faith chuckled "of course, who else calls you B? So what are you up to?"

"Nothing, just sitting here reading some magazines, why?" she asked curious.

"Oh sounds exciting" Faith laughed. "Think you can pull yourself away from those exciting magazines and come to a party with me?"

"Where?" asked Buffy, still completely surprised that Faith had called her.

"My brother's friend is having a party, and I thought that if you weren't doing anything tonight maybe you'd wanna come. It would be a great way to meet some guys" Faith said, smirking.

Buffy chuckled. She wanted to go but she wasn't sure if she should. She knew, even without asking Faith that there would probably be alcohol and maybe even drugs. Two things that she wasn't familiar with at all.

"I don't know Faith...."

"Come on B, it's better than sitting at home reading some boring magazines, if you're worried about the alcohol, you don't have to drink any. No ones going to force you, and if they try to, I'll kick there ass" Faith exclaimed.

Buffy laughed. Maybe it could be fun. It's not like she had anything better to do. Not only that, but she got to spend time with Faith.

"Sure, why not" Buffy said

"Good B, you'll have fun, trust me. I'll show you how to really party" Faith said then thought for a moment. "Do you have a curfew?"

"Yah its 12:30, why?" Buffy asked, wondering if that would be a problem.

"Well the everyone will probably be getting there at like 12:00 so if you wanted, you could just crash at my apartment for the night, then you won't have to leave early. I mean, only if you wanted." Faith explained.

"Sure...........you wouldn't mind?" Buffy asked shyly. Shocked that Faith had invited her to spend the night. She was going to get to be around the dark haired beauty for a whole night.

"Mind? Come on B, if I minded I wouldn't have suggested it." Faith said. "Okay lets see what time is it.................8:15, okay how about we pick you up at 9:00?"

"Sounds good" Buffy said preparing to say good bye. "Wait Faith, what do I wear?" She had no idea what kind of outfit she was supposed to wear to this party.

"Whatever ya want B, you'll look cute in whatever you have on so don't worry about it" Faith said, smiling.

Buffy blushed slightly, glad that Faith couldn't see her.

"Okay, see ya at 9, bye" replied Buffy placing the phone back on the hook. She smiled, happy that tonight was turning out to be not quite boring at all. She got up from her bed and walked down the stairs to tell her mom where she was going. She hoped her mother would let her go.

Her mom was sitting on the couch in the living room watching T.V. Her mom looked up when she saw Buffy and smiled.

"Mom, is it alright if I spend the night at Faith's tonight?" Buffy asked, praying she'd say yes.

"Who's Faith?" she asked.

"You know the new girl that I had to show around at school?" Buffy asked.

Her mother smiled, glad that her daughter had made a new friend.

"Oh yes, I'm glad you're becoming friends with her, It must be hard for her to start over in a new school"

Buffy nodded, wanting her mother to say yes so she could go up and figure out what she was going to wear.

"Of course you can, just call me tomorrow and let me know what you're doing ok?"

She ran over and kissed her mom on the cheek. "Thanx mom!"

Buffy bounded up the steps to her room. She looked at her clock on the nightstand. 8:22. Walking over to her closet she opened the doors.

*UGH WHAT AM I GOING TO WEAR??*

*************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************

"Where are they?" she cried. Buffy rummaged through her closet looking for her favourite pair of black leather boots. She had settled on a pair of tight form fitting dark blue jeans, a white tank top and a red zippered sweater. Her hair was left down, and she had curled it at the ends. She had kept her makeup light, just a little light gray eye shadow and some lip gloss. All she needed were her boots to complete the outfit. She got up and walked over to her bed. Getting down on all fours, she looked underneath. Sure enough there they were.

"Finally!" she exclaimed, pulling them out. Sitting on her bed, Buffy put them on her feet. Looking at the clock on the nightstand, it read 8:53. She had just enough time to pack her overnight bag before Faith arrived. She grabbed a change of clothes and pajamas and stuffed them in. Walking over to the mirror, she looked over herself once again.

"Buffy your friend is here!" her mothers voice drifted from downstairs. She grabbed her bag off the bed and walked out the door of her bedroom.

*Let the fun begin!*
