Alanna goes to High school and this starts somewhere in the middle of October. She just came and she's got no one to trust except for her F.A.I.T.H. band pals. But they're just as busy as she's carefree. Who's she gonna trust?

Arianla: Opinions please! AJ or AG?

F.A.I.T.H.

"ALANNA!" Coram yelled, his face purple with rage. "GET DOWN HERE IMMEDIATELY!"

"What!" she yelled back indignantly.

"Ye're late!" Coram's face turned a deep blue.

"You're turning blue." she commented dryly.

Dressed a pair of jeans and a violet shirt, the red head grinned mischievously. Coram sighed and his face turned human once more. Sometimes, Coram would turn into a dragon and started breathing fire. Alanna slipped into the chair nearest to her and wolfed down her breakfast of bacon and eggs. Then, she noticed that her twin wasn't around.

"Where's Thom?" she asked.

"Sick. He's got the flu." Coram replied and glanced at his watch "Ye should be off now if ye want to beat the bell."

"Yipes!" she yelped, grabbed her bag and shot out of the door.

Quickly, she sped off to school. Beating the bell by a second, she clambered into her seat. Her brilliant fiery hair intrigued many and attracted many stares which she chose to ignore. The first lesson was math. She bent over her work, deeply concentrated when someone kicked her chair from behind. She looked behind when the teacher wasn't watching. The girl who kicked her chair was raven haired with hazel eyes and creamy skin.

"Pass this note to the one in front of you. Don't read it!" she warned, a twinkle in her eye.

Alanna snatched the letter and turned back quickly. Like the girl behind her, she too kicked the chair in front of her. A girl with chestnut hair and seductive green eyes turned around.

"For you." Alanna whispered. She scowled and took it. When she unfolded the letter, her pretty face turned monstrous. She scribbled furiously and threw the letter behind. Unfortunately, the teacher caught it halfway and opened it. After reading the lines, she lifted an eyebrow and glanced at the girl.

"Delia," she said to obviously the girl in front of Alanna, "May I know who started this?"

"I don't know Ms Welman." Delia replied, her voice dripping with sarcasm.

She turned to Alanna and jabbed her thumb at her "Maybe she does."

Alanna looked up and said "The girl behind."

"Thayet, explain."

"It's true I wrote it, but if you read the note carefully, you'll find I'm just speaking the truth-" Thayet crossed her arms.

"You little-" Delia spat.

"I'll have no vulgarities in this class! Detention for three hours for two of you." the teacher said sharply. "Continue with your work."

The two glared daggers at each other and sat down. The lesson ended quietly with the teacher's eagle eyes on Delia and Thayet. As soon as the two stepped out of the class, squabbling began.

"Thank you so much!" Thayet snapped "Now I have to skip cheer leading practice!"

"So what?" Delia sneered "I've got my things to do as well!"

Alanna started to walk far away when Thayet yelled "You! The redhead! Come here!" Alanna flashed her violet eyes at Thayet. When Thayet saw the eyes, she almost tripped back.

"What?"

"Nothing... ..." Thayet mumbled. Delia was surprised at her reaction and looked at Alanna. She too noticed the eyes but chose to remain calm.

"Where did you get those contacts er---" Delia started.

"It's Alanna and what is it to you?" she snapped back.

Alanna walked off. Before long, someone tapped her shoulder. Without warning, Alanna threw the person over her shoulder. It was Hope, one of her friends from junior High. Alanna grinned and helped her up.

"What? No 'Sorry I threw you over my shoulder'?" Hope asked indignantly, settling her blond hair behind her ear. She was one of the guitarist in F.A.I.T.H. .

"You sneaked up on me buster." Alanna smirked.

"Hmph! I still think you should apologize, anyway, there's practice today the first music room. We've got to practice for Halloween." Hope reminded her, then said warmly "Your substitute is horrible. Thom's one is still alright. The gang's missed you, it'll be a surprise for them so try to stay low. I know Thom isn't here so- nevermind." Hope waved to her and hurried off.

Alanna too hurried to her locker. The locker was stuck as usual and Alanna slammed her foot against the door. It opened with a creak.

"Whoa! Hey, that's not your locker!" a boy exclaimed. A boy with black hair and friendly brown eyes grinned at her. He yelled at a boy who was surrounded by at least three girls from across the hall. "Hey, Jon!" The boy came over, he however, had sapphire eyes and hair darker than night.

"WHAT?" he snapped.

"Sorry to draw you away from your -ahem- business. But I found someone breaking into your locker." Gary rolled his eyes at saying this.

"Who's that?" he lifted a single eyebrow.

"Her!" Gary jabbed his thumb at Alanna but she was gone.
