AN: This is my first fic ever basically, hopefully the first of many so it would be great to get some feedback. You know, to improve and all.
The clouds came rolling in again and it seemed to Faye that it was always cloudy in Chance Harbor. Winter was already sending its messengers, the colored leaves and the brisk wind. Gazing out the window she reflected that at least this meant she got to wear more leather. "Wake up Faye if you're late even I can't keep you from a detention." Faye snapped her attention away from her window glancing lazily at her mother and grabbing her bag. She ambled towards the door snatching her keys off the dresser, "Cool it mom, it's the first day." Faye quickened her pace down the stairs and on the way to her car before her mother could make a comment about her outfit or her attitude, quickly getting the engine running.
Driving to school she let her mind wander again, today was going to be the first day of the new year. Junior year. She let her lips curl up into her characteristic smirk considering all the stories that had been floating around about how "challenging" it was going to be. Parking her car she glanced around her, her smirk turning into a smile at the looks of worry that coated her classmate's faces. For normal people the year would be hard but not for Faye. She had a secret. With a murmur the car doors shut and locked behind her without a single touch. Faye had magic.
"Faye!" Turning her head to locate the call Faye found her friend Melissa walking towards her rapidly, the girls round face framed in wavy hair that was currently being pushed and pulled by the wind.
"Melissa!" Faye called back, mocking the other girls enthusiastic tone, "Why do you sound so psyched, we're back in prison" she muttered. Melissa didn't answer but her eyes flickered off in the direction of a tall blonde boy who was obviously flirting with several girls. Faye snorted and walked into the building not bothering to wait for Melissa to catch up. Melissa ran to catch up with her, matching the taller girls pace with a resigned expression on her face, "Nick isn't that bad Faye, we talked over the summer and I really like him." Looking down at the girl Faye sighed shaking her head at Melissa's comment.
"Whatever you say, I'm sure he thought of you when he kept on trying to hook up with anything that moved over the summer." She murmured quickly undoing her locker and placing the bulk of her notebooks within it. "Honestly Melissa I'd have to say I'm a better judge of-" Faye stopped suddenly as she glanced up the hallway. Melissa looked at her with a puzzled expression, "Judge of what?"
Faye didn't even hear her; she had her eyes firmly locked on something far across the hallway. Diana Meade. Completely forgetting about Melissa she stalked across the hall, cutting through the scores of students and casually placing herself in front of Diana. "Well how is Lady Di feeling today, your loyal hound not hanging around this fine morning?" She inquired with a devilish smirk situated on her face, her eyes casually roaming over Diana. Diana frowned at Faye shifting her eyes in the other girl's direction, "Adam went to find something about the new girl." Lowering her voice Diana inched closer to Faye, "She would make us six and then we could bind a circle, like our parents." Faye laughed at Diana's conspiratorial tone shaking her head and nearing her face even closer to Diana's, "But why would we want to do that? We don't need to do we?" Faye's tone was mocking but an undertone of bitterness ran under its surface. Dianna was obsessed with binding a Circle and it was driving Faye crazy. Diana took a step back from Faye after a second widening the distance between them. "Faye, this is important. The magic needs binding." She insisted, making Faye roll her eyes. Faye shrugged deciding that they had this conversation too many times, besides she hadn't come over to talk to Diana about "binding" a "Circle".
"Look Diana I just came over here to ask if you wanted to meet at the wharf later today." She asked with an earnest smile, quickly rearranging her face into a smirk and adding, "I mean I know you have Adam and all but, c'mon he is such a drag. Come have some fun with me." Dianna's frown wavered and she seemed to consider it before her answer was interrupted by none other than Adam himself. Diana beamed at him as he swept in for a quick kiss much to Faye's disgust. Adam glanced over at Faye before creating a barrier between her and Diana, which was quite fitting really, informing Diana on what he had found out about the new girl. She went by Cassie Blake apparently. Diana had obviously forgotten about Faye's proposal, too distracted by Adam. Faye's heart sank at being forgotten so quickly, she turned away from the happy couple sinking back into the crowd to find Melissa. They were going to scope out this Blake girl, see if she was worth any sort of attention. Maybe she was even something to look at, considered Faye. She smiled with that thought, she could certainly use a distraction
