'Damn!' Faye groaned, jolting out of her bed and racing to her bathroom after silencing her mobile phone for the third time.
'Sweet heart, you're going to get late!' Dawn Chamberlain, with a cup of coffee in her hands casually called her daughter from downstairs' hallway. She sighed after hearing no immediate response, after placing her mug on the letter shelf she started to walk up the cream carpeted stairs, taking a sharp left as she loudly knocked on the bathroom door.
'All done,' Faye cheekily smiled, as she exited the bathroom and slid the door shut again. 'Mum are you going to get out of my way, you're going to get me late for school, your school. Gosh!' Faye moaned and could tell her mother wasn't pleased with her sarcasm.
Dawn now stood outside Faye's closed bedroom door which remained closed for 10 minutes. She impatiently waited until sighing loudly and shouted, despite the short distance between her and her daughter's bedroom. 'Hurry up honey, or else I will personally give you a 1 hour late detention every day, for a week! The house'll be a much quieter place again, just like it was before you went through puberty.' Whispering her last sentence and whilst daydreaming Dawn was suddenly met with a massive hug from her daughter.
'You wouldn't give a detention to your little princess, would you mummy?' Faye joyously spoke, stretching out the words 'little princess'; hoping to change the mood of her recently miserable mother.
Faye's mother and wife of Thomas Chamberlain had been a widow for a long time, 16 years to be exact. She had never felt so close to a male companion as she did with Thomas. It felt only like yesterday that she had lost her husband and she missed him every single minute. The only family she made with him and whom she loved dearly was her daughter Faye. Faye was not an ordinary girl she was clever for her age and very crafty for her age too. Despite Faye's humanly traits she also possessed magic, very strong magic as both of her parents were as she calls 'full blooded a hundred per cent witches'!
Unknowing to herself Faye displayed signs of her heritage far too early than anticipated, luckily her mother who never left her 3 year old daughter's side noticed almost instantly. And as cruel as her Mother thought it was… Dawn stripped her daughter's power with a home-made prepared potion – that would strip a witch's power for 10 years from when it was consumed.
Faye's naturally always desired traits that would determine her different from other girls, in a good way! Always bent on searching for power and once accomplished, searching for more, hunting every nook and cranny until there was no power left – this summarised Faye's secret mission in life, something she can't share with anyone but her circle. Her circle was her other 'family'.

'Miss Blake, what's the value of x in this equation? Surely you've had enough time to solve it?'
Cassie stared thoroughly into the small engraved black hands of the white clock hung on the wall behind the ginger haired teacher stood in front of her. There were still 40 minutes until break and time wasn't exactly passing quickly, that was probably because the class was no fun! Well what fun would result out of solving maths equations anyway?
'Huh?' Cassie motioned with her lips 'Oh! Sorry Miss… Umm x equals 3.0 correct to 1 decimal place?'
'Miss Blake you sound quite unsure, are you asking me or telling me?'
'Telling you, I think' Cassie's embarrassment had turned her rosy cheeks bright red. Cassie wasn't sure on what to say, she didn't have the desired relationship with her teacher and was therefore unsure whether to joke the seriousness out of the still air or not.
'Well that is the correct answer, be confident in yourself. You're young; it'll make you stronger in adulthood.' Well that wasn't quite the response Cassie was awaiting from her teacher. But hey that'll do! Cassie thought in her mind. And Cassie smiled for the first time during the new term, this was acknowledged by her friend Sally sitting beside her and Melissa and Adam sitting on a separate table together on the left hand side of the teacher's desk.

'Faye Chamberlain, the principle's daughter where is she?' Megan deeply thought, the school's new attendance manager.

'Get up Faye! Faye! Why aren't you moving?! Is this a joke?!'
