Buffy started to breath a little harder. She was tired again. "Hey you guys, I'm going to go sit down ok?" Buffy said trying to slow down her breathing.
"Um...sure...are you ok?" Willow asked concerned.
"I'm fine! God guys stop worrying like hell. Can't a person just get tired," Buffy asked annoyed.
"Didn't know we were," Cordelia said turning her back on Buffy.
"Come on guys, don't be that way. I'm sorry. I know that it's your job to worry, because you're my best friends in the whole world. I just...I've been a little tired from all the stress from school that's all," Buffy said hugging her friends.
"Ok. Well go ahead and find a table. We'll catch up later," Willow said still worried about Buffy.
"Ok," Buffy said leaving.
As soon as Buffy was out of site, Cordelia spoke up. "I'm really worried about Buffy. We all know she's hiding something and apparently it's getting harder for her to hide it from us these days. I don't know what it is, but there's something really wrong," Cordelia said gazing in the direction Buffy had just gone. "We need to make her tell us somehow!"
"No Cordy. We can't make her do anything. Whatever it is, Buffy will tell us when she's ready to trust us with it. She will tell us when she believes in our bond. Until then, we'll just have to wait," Willow explained turning her back to face Angel and his band again.
Buffy sat in silence. She thought about her life, and how it could've been different. A tear fell out of her eye, and she quickly wiped it away. *The last thing I need right now is for Cordy and Willow to see my crying.* Suddenly someone tapped her on the shoulder. She turned around only to fall into the most gorgeous eyes she had ever seen.
"Hi," Angel said snapping Buffy from her trance.
Buffy just turned around and muttered, "Why even get myself into this mess."
"Mess?" Angel questioned sliding into the chair next to her.
"Next time you talk to a girl, I suggest you talk to one that's not from this town," Buffy said rolling her eyes.
"Out of town?" Angel asked with a confused face. Then it hit him and he started to nod. "I get it. You've heard all the rumors going around."
"Rumors?" Buffy asked putting sarcasm into the word. "Funny, because usually when I hear the same thing where ever I go, it's usually the truth, not a "rumor"."
"Ok? I'm not denying what I've done, but not all of it is true. I mean I've got a past, but so does every other person in this world," Angel exclaimed throwing his hands up in the air.
"Is that what you call your mistakes? Mistakes that you're CURRENTLY making, your "past"," Buffy said angry.
"Hey you know what? I don't need to explain myself to someone I don't even know. It's not like I'm asking you to marry me or something. I was up there on the stage and I looked at you, and you looked lonely. I know what that feels like, so I only came over to say hi, but you know that was my bad," Angel said turning around and started to leave.
"Hey stop," Buffy exclaimed halting Angel to a stop. "Buffy Summers."
Angel turned back to her smiling. "Angel Evers. Look I know I've done some wrong in my time, but I'm not a bastard if that's what you're thinking. I just haven't found the right girl," Angel said sliding back into his seat.
"I didn't say you were one. I just don't trust people I don't know," she answered and walked away.
Angel just sat there smiling. Then he too got up and left to go back to singing.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Cordelia, Willow!" Buffy yelled trying to get to her friends on the dance floor.
"Hey Buffy! Oh my God. All I've got to say is that Angel is the coolest singer I've ever seen," Willow said drunkily while doing crazy moves to the song.
Buffy noticed Willow's hyper behavior and asked Cordy, "How much coffee did she have?"
"Enough to knock out any normal person," Cordy answered watching Willow jump around like a crazy monkey.
"Ok, we better get her home," came Buffy's voice between laughs as she too watched Willow.
Right before she left the bronze she caught Angel's gaze and he smiled at her. She managed a half grin and turned away. Even while singing his eyes had followed her everywhere and now they followed her out of the bronze. *God what is that girl doing to me?* He thought.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As soon as the song ended Angel jumped off the stage. He was tired and wanted to get home.
"Hi, I'm Xander," came a voice from behind him.
Angel turned to look at a boy with short brown hair.
"Angel Evers," he said and shook Xander's hand.
"It's nice to finally meet you," Xander replied enthused. "I'd be careful if I were you. Secrets spread fast in small town Sunnydale."
"So I've heard," Angel said smiling, thinking back to his meeting with Buffy.
"I see you've met my brother," Oz said coming up to them.
"Brother?" Angel asked amused.
"I know what you're thinking. That we're totally different which is true. We have nothing in common. We don't share personality or looks. You'd think that us twins would have at least something in common, but nota. Nothing. For example, I'm about to talk your head off, while Oz hasn't said a word," Xander said finally stopping to take a breath.
"Twins?" Angel asked his eyes growing wide.
"Like I said, nothing in common!" Xander exclaimed crossing his hands over his chest.
"Oh. Small world after all, huh?" Angel said running a hand through his hair.
"I guess so," Xander replied.
"Ok, so I'll see you guys around," Angel said and left.
"Oz? Why was that guy staring at Buffy the whole night? Does he know her?" Xander asked in bewilderment.
Oz just closed his eyes and let out a sigh in reply.

All the way home, a certain blonde girl was on Angel's mind.
