Summary: This is the sequel to Term Paper.
Dedication: Thanks to Shannon, Kasiya, Ryan, and Sara-Lee for the feedback.
Special thanks to Kasiya for giving me the idea of this story.

I'm standing in front of my entire English class, reading the story of my love life. Mr. Harrison gave me an A+. At first when he asked me to read the story to the class, I was a little unsure and I had doubts.

I didn't want to get in front of 100 or more students, pouring my love story out. Willow was the person who persuaded me to do it. She said maybe it will help me cope with the loss of Angel, which I have not completely recovered from.

So, here I am, reading my paper. I'm around the second paragraph when I notice that Willow is smiling from the audience. I can't help but wonder why she is smiling when I am reading such a sad paper.

I'm in the third paragraph now. There's this one girl in the third row who has a tear rolling down her cheek.

It's because of me.

In some ways I am touched that she feels for me and in others I'm not. I'm mad at her for feeling sorry for me.

Willow is still smiling. She looks straight into my eyes and then tilts her head towards the door.

It seems as if she is trying to show me something, but I'm not sure what.

Curiosity is killing me and I look towards the door. What I see, shocks me.

He's there, standing in the door, listening to me talk about our love. Wait a second, Angel is in the daylight. How is he standing there?

Telling myself it's my imagination, I turn my gaze from the door, continuing on with my story.

"Love is the most painful thing I've ever experience, but I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world. Our love wasn't a measly high school love, it was the real thing. It will last forever. Someday, we will be together, I will make sure of that." I just finished reading my paper and the last three lines remain in my head.

My gaze wanders to the door again, still he is there. Willow's still smiling. Everyone in the class is staring at Angel.

Now, I don't think it's my imagination. I turn my head to Willow, asking her if it's real and she nods.

Oh my God, I can't form thoughts right now. He's here, in the sunlight, but how?

I don't care right now. Slowly, I walk towards him. Angel envelops me in his arms and I rest my head on his.

My questions are answered when I hear the soft 'thump, thump' coming from within him. He's human.

I turn my head to look at him and our lips meet in a kiss. The kiss is our reunion. We part and are looking into each other's eyes when I hear a soft clapping.

We're still gazing at each other and I notice that the whole class has started clapping.

The colorful events of my love life have reunited my Angel and I. We will be together forever, I can assure you that.
