Someone Better Than You
He was a bloody git and he knew it. William Giles had been the most ignored student in his high school in London, England. After his middle school crush, Cecile, had publicly humiliated him for his poetry, no one had really spoken to him much. Luckily though, William’s father, Rupert, was the school’s librarian, so William ate lunch with his every day.
Rupert wasn’t stupid. He knew his son was really shy, so he decided that William should learn how to have fun and be himself around people his own age. When William was a junior, Rupert took him to Miami, Florida in hopes of William meeting some friends and having fun. Even if William’s new friends lived on a different continent, simply meeting them was a step in the right direction. Now, Rupert wanted William to make new friends, but he had no idea what he was really getting both himself and his son into.
In Miami, William made two ‘female’ friends. Not exactly what Rupert was expecting to happen, but hey, who’s to complain. The girls loved his poetry and of the two of them, Drusilla seemed to be the one to truly get to William. Darla had enjoyed his company, but wanted a more outspoken, normal, kind of guy.
Drusilla had a hold on William. They even went out on a couple of dates during the week William had spent in Miami. Honestly, they spent almost every waking moment together. Rupert was appeased that William had been able to get a girlfriend while in Miami, even though the girl was a little too crazy for his own personal preferences, but he was happy for William. Yet, Rupert’s surprise was not over yet.
“Dad!!! Guess what!!!” William yelled at the top of his lungs after his last night in Miami, in which had been spent with Drusilla asleep on the beach- fully clothed.
“Yes, William. Though, I’m only two feet away from you, thank you very much.”
“SHE’S COMING TO ENGLAND!!! Dru said that she has no family here in Miami anyway and will come to London!” William was apparently very excited for he was still yelling, Rupert noticed.
Drusilla loved William for his accent. She could tell he had a muscular body, and that despite himself, he was a very good-looking young man. The only thing Dru had to do before leaving for England was to say good-bye to her best friend.
“Oh... Darla, you’ll never guess! I’m going to London to live by William! Tomorrow! I can’t wait!” Darla noticed her friend was already practicing her new British accent.
“Oh my God! You’re moving (pause) to England? Tomorrow?” Darla thought that this relationship was moving rather fast, but she knew Drusilla. She’d get bored with William soon enough. So, Darla decided to be happy for them.
“Yes, tomorrow! I’ll miss you Darla, but I’ll call soon.” With that, Drusilla left her friend alone.
And that had been it. That Spring Break of William’s junior high school year, Drusilla moved to London to be with William. Almost immediately, they fell in love. Drusilla was already 19, but William was going to be turning 18 in a year so their ages were pretty close together.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Back in the day, as a high school senior, she was Ms. Sunnydale High. Her best friend, and boyfriend, was Mr. Sunnydale High.
At Sunnydale High School, they had been the hottest couple. Buffy Summers and Angel O’Connor were the people everyone wanted to be. They were beautiful, popular and rich, not to mention, a perfect couple. Buffy was the captain of the cheerleading squad and Angel was the captain of Sunnydale High’s football team.
Even though they both lived happy lives, both Buffy and Angel had had their share of pain in their pasts. Buffy’s parents had divorced when she was 13 and at the time, Buffy was a wreck. Luckily, Angel had been there for her. He had helped her through if by comforting her: just as she has done for him only a year later.
When Angel was only 14, he lost both his parents in a plane crash. They had gone on a trip together and their plane coming home had ‘malfunctioned’ and landed in the Pacific Ocean. Since Angel was still a freshman, he was living with his grandparents. Also, because he was an only child, he inherited all of this parent’s money, which was a lot for a Sunnydale family.
To keep each other stable through hard times, Buffy and Angel acted as parents for each other. Encouraging each other to do well in school, and make good discussions in general, brought Buffy and Angel closer together than any other couple could be. Theirs truly was a perfect relationship. They were best of friends and hottest of lovers.
That was of course, until one week after their high school graduation.
