Willow sat in the Bronze watching Xander and Cordelia dance. She couldn't help but to be happy for them. She still had feeling for Xander but they had diminished very much in the past few months. Buffy was out at the graveyard fighting the forces of evil. Sometimes Willow thought that she would what to be more like Buffy but then she thought of al the stuff that she has to go though so young, then she changes her mind. Willow looked up to where Xander and Cordelia where dancing, they were kissing and she was alone.

Not like she hated being alone, it's just that somethings she just wanted to be with someone. Her thoughts drifted to Angel. They had spent many nights together talking sharing secrets and just being together. She liked him a lot. But did she like him like him? She had no idea. I mean Angel talked about everything with her, his beak up with Buffy and his past, and his famliy. She talked to him about her feeling for Xander, her family, and Jesse's Death. She visited Jesse's grave on a regular basis. She told him everything too, she told him that she missed him and everything. She told him about Xander and Cordelia getting together. She told him that she thought she was finally over Xander. Which she was. She had resorted herself to the fact that he would like every one but her. And she was fine with it. Or at least she told herself that.

Willow looked around the Bronze and felt someone watching her, she looked all around the Bronze but did not see anyone so she turned back to the dance floor. She was brought out of her blank stare when someone touched her on the shoulder. She turned around and looked into the most beautiful eyes she had ever, those eyes belonged to James Allen the captain of the football team. He was tall dark and handsome, kind of reminded her of some by the name of Angel. She and every other girl at Sunnydale high had a crush on him. She smiled at him and he smiled at her.

"Willow I was wondering something." James asked talking a seat across for her.

"What is it? Do you need help studying?" She asked just thinking that he was in a tight spot in math or Science.

"Well no I was wondering why such a pretty girl like your self was just sitting at this table and not dancing." He said with a smile.

"Well no body asked me so I just decided to sit." She said blushing at his question mostly the part about her being pretty.

"Well Willow would you like to dance.?" He asked putting out his hand.

"Sure, I would love to." She said putting her hand in his. They danced 5 songs and then they decided to leave the Bronze. James walked her to house. They were sitting on the bench swing on her porch. Along the way home James had taken her hand. They were swaying back and forth and all of a sudden James bent over and kissed her. At first she was surprised by the gesture and then she got into it. They were going pretty hot in heavy and then Willow pulled away.

"James, I just want to know one thing. what bought this on? I mean I don't think you have said 2 words to me in the past and now you are kissing me...I don't get it. Don't get me wrong I like it but it just seems weird." She said looking at him.

"You want to know the truth Willow?" James said looking away for her.

"Yeah I do." She says looking down at her feet.

"OK, I will tell you then......."
