In the nick of time, a quickly thrown together School Hard vidlet, inspired by my current Twin Peaks rewatch :-)

UPDATE: I'm editing my post to add a note that I didn't have the energy for last night when I posted this, after my struggle to (more or less) meet the School Hard weekend deadline.

NOTE: The song is "Falling" by Julee Cruise from the Twin Peaks soundtrack. It sounds both romantic and ominous and creepy. I think those last properties make it very suitable for School Hard, where (let's be honest) Spike is creepily stalking Buffy. "Are we falling in love?" the song asks. (Yes, it's a question, not a statement. The "are we" bit is just not very well audible in the lyrics.) The answer as I see it is no, not then and there. Not yet. Certainly not Buffy, although she's clearly fascinated and intrigued by Spike. Spike, on the other hand, is definitely falling for her, but at this stage it's lust and obsession he's falling into, not love. And probably he would have vehemently denied this if he'd been asked at the time. Still, this is where it all starts -- the Spuffy seed is being planted.
