Hola people of Earth! This is my fourth story, but this isn't my idea. The first few chapters are me rewriting Magicaltears' story I Do Love You. Being that she so graciously gave it to me to write/ finish.

Summary: Buffy is the slayer and in love with Angel, only he doesn't know it. He also has a secret that he's been keeping from the gang. AU all in high school.

Disclaimer: Either Joss's or Britt's (MagicalTears) his characters, her plot.

Distribution: not mine to give, Talk to Britt.

Rating: T for swearing and violence (even if I don't write it well!)

Buffy Summers sighed to herself in the mirror. First day, more correctly, 1st day of her junior year in high school. She was finally an upper classmen. She smiled. She was already the little girl of her group (even though she was stronger than any of them, they still looked out for her), The slayer and the richest girl in Sunnydale, now she was a JUNIOR! The blonde smiled as the horn honked. She ran outside to meet her best friends Cordelia Chase and Willow Rosenburg, kissing her father on the cheek as she ran out the door. Rupert Giles smiled at his daughter and slayer and went back to sipping his tea and reading his book. Buffy smiled at her friends.

"Hey Wills, Hey Cordy!"

They both replied back to the slayer.

"Hey Buffy, just to let you know. Angel is back from vacation already. Are we going to tell him someone missed my brother while he was gone this summer?" Cordy asked, her eyebrows rose. Buffy shook her head no from side to side in panic.

" NO way! He'd laugh if he knew I had a crush on him. Besides, you know as well as I do how our dads are. The only reason you and I are allowed to be friends is because our mothers are best friends. And it took them nearly a year to let us be friends. Now imagine if Angel and I hooked up." Both girls shuddered at the thought.

Willow nodded, agreeing with her best friend's statement, even though she personally thought Buffy and Angel would be a great couple.

The three girls arrived at school and saw the rest of they're group. Cordy's boyfriend Xander Harris, a junior. Cordy's brother Angel Chase, Willow's boyfriend Oz, Angel's best friend Spike, Spike's girlfriend Faith, And Angel's girlfriend Darla, who are all seniors.

Everyone was the best of friends except for Darla and Buffy. Darla hated Buffy and everyone except Angel knew it. Darla liked everyone else, though no one liked her, except for Angel. And sometimes, everyone wondered whether he really liked her or not.

She always felt a little left out because she was the only one without a boyfriend. She just had found "The one" he just didn't know it yet. She sat down and plastered a fake smile as her friends all coupled up.

"Hey Kiddos" Xander said, smiling at the girls.

"Hey Xan Man" Buffy replied, Willow waved and Cordy kissed him passionately, thus starting their make out session. The blonde slayer looked down for a moment and when she looked back up, all of her friends were kissing there respected others. She sighed and grabbed her books and purse and walked off, upset with her friends. Though she really didn't have a good reason to be. Was she really that jealous of her friend's happiness?

Later at lunch Angel was the only one at the table, munching on his apple. This is my chance, Buffy thought. One of the few times they got to have some time to themselves, without the hag-bitch Darla around. Speak of the devil, Darla was the first one out of line and immediately began grouping Angel. As soon as everyone got to the table, they were copying Darla and Angel's um… show. She tried to handle it but seeing them every single day was too much so she ran out to the tree and ate her lunch there.

Buffy sat down in Chemistry and put her head down. She had avoided her friends all day but now she couldn't. Willow was her lab partner. Willow sat down at Buffy's right side. The witch opened her mouth but the slayer was saved by the teacher walking in. Willow quickly scribbled a note and handed it to her best friend.

Hey what's up with you today? You just disappeared this morning and you've avoided us all day long. You didn't even show up at lunch!

Buffy sighed and wrote back. Don't worry about it Wills. I'm just in a weird mood today.

Willow didn't believe her friend one bit but let it go for now. She wrote back Are you coming to the bronze tonight?

Buffy shook her head no and wrote back. No, I'm going to patrol and then go home

Willow wanted to say something but she knew she needed to pay attention to their teacher.

When the lesson finally wound down she passed Buffy another note. Why aren't you coming out with us tonight?

The slayer sighed and wrote back. Because

Before the witch could reply, the bell rang and Buffy bolted out of the classroom and ran into the library. Her step father/watcher looked at her for a moment before handing her the punching bag so she could hang it up and start her training.

Buffy took out all her aggressions out on the bag, her aggressions from being jealous of her friends, her feelings for Angel that she thought no one except Wills and Cordy knew about. And her destiny that she couldn't get rid of...

OXOXOXOXOX

There it is. I want to thank Britt for giving this to me, after some groveling of course.

Please, please review! And like any of my other stories, I need at least one review per chapter to update.

Empty threat: if you don't review, I shall put a curse on you for bad luck in August!
