"What happened?"
Buffy didn't answer. Angel could see the tears in her eyes.
"Buffy? Are you having a flash back?"
She laughed through her tears.
"A little one."
"If you don't want to tell me you don't have to."
"His name was Riley."
"Ok a name, now we're getting somewhere."
"He told me he loved me. I didn't say anything and he told me I didn't need to he just wanted me to know. It was at the Christmas Dance. He told me he was going to the bathroom. I was waiting for him and the heat went out so I went to get my coat."
She paused.
"You ok?"
"Oh yeah. Well it was still in his car so I go out there and I see him with Missy Renylds in the car...."
"He was.." Angel made a gesture with his hands.
"Oh yeah. And everyone knows how mush I hate Bitchy...sorry Missy Renlyds."
"That a nick name you gave her or something?"
"It's what 99.9% of the school calls her behind her back. I just ran back to the gym and niether of them saw me. I told my friends I caught them making out and Spike said if I wanted him to he'd drive them over with his Deseto."
"That sounds like Spike."
"Yeah. I figured that a jerk that would do something like that to me wasn't worth crying over and when he got back I dumped him. Didn't give him anymore chances to hurt me."
"Good for you."
"He's tried to get back together with me about a million times too. Never figured out I saw him and Missy...you know."
"You didn't tell them what really happened?"
"No. I mean he chose Missy Renylds over me. That's about at low as it gets around here. I don't know how they'd react."
"You think that they'd think less of you because this girl Missy is supposivley as low as you go?"
"That's exactly how I feel."
"They wouldn't think that Buffy. They're your best friends."
"They'd still look at me funny. Even if it was only for a second. Like I was low. The lowest of the low."
"I can't speak for them, but as far as I'm concerened you're not low."
"You're just saying that."
"No," he said leaning closer to her, "you're high. Really high. About as high as it gets."
Then he kissed her.
And if you were looking at them from the front, you would have seen the brightest shooting star right behind them. Like it had decided to drop at that moment just for them.
