Summary: Not your usual high school fic - a reviewer's words not mine - so give it a go, you may be surprised....
Starts just before the summer vacc before their senior year at Sunnydale High School. Typical American kids. Buffy Summers whilst not in the Cordelia Chase elite group of popularity had a strong circle of friends, Willow, Xander and Oz. William Pratt has no one. Bullied mercilessly, bookish, straight A student then one day fate steps in and changes his life forever......
Nominated at the Spuffy Awards, Sunnydale Memorial Awards, Cradle of Humanity Awards, Lie To Me Awards, and Forbidden Awards.
