Author's Notes: Again this is totally AU and has nothing to do with the season. Just read and you'll understand (hopefully). Oh and everyone's human. And Sunnydale's not the hellmouth.
^ It's my first day at a new school. Sunnydale is so much different than Boston. ^ "Thanks, Mom. I'll see you after school." Faith said getting out of the blue mustang.
"Ok, Faith. Have a good day, and I'll see you tonight." Wendy said to her brunette daughter.
"'K. Bye." Faith said shutting the door and thinking to her self. ^ Yeah see you tonight. ^ Faith walked through the door into the school. She stopped to look at the differences between her old school and this one. She slowly started walking through the crowds of people looking for the office.
Not paying attention she bumped into something. "Will you watch where you're going?" A rude voice said as she pushed by. "Can you believe the losers that go to school here?" She said walking on with her group.
Faith bent down to pick up her papers and mumbled to her self, "well excuse me." She finished picking up her papers and that's when she saw intense blue and thoughtful brown eyes staring at her. She smiled as she shifted and tucked a strand of brown hair behind her ear. She started walking towards them to ask for directions to the office when she was suddenly pushed towards the lockers. She didn't notice that she was on the floor until she was looking up to see those intense blue eyes staring at her.
"You okay?" He asked as he lowered his hand to help her up.
Faith noticed that he had a British accent taking his hand she replied, "yeah, thanks."
"I'm William and this is Angelus." He said pointing to his friend.
"Hi, I'm Faith." She said simply. "Umm could you tell me where the office is?" She asked sheepishly.
"So you're the new girl?" Angelus asked pointing out the obvious. "We'll walk you there, so that we can get to know you."
"Thanks." Faith said glad to have found someone to talk to. After her father died, she and her mom moved to Sunnydale to live with her grandmother. "So what grade are you guys in?"
"I'm a sophomore and Angelus is a junior. What about you?" William asked.
"I'm a sophomore." Faith said taking note of where things were.
"Where did you move from?" William asked.
"Boston. You?"
"I'm from Ireland and William is from England." Angelus said.
"Hence the accent." William laughed.
Faith laughed. When the boys stopped she looked up and noticed that they were at the office. "Well thanks again." She said smiling before she turned around to walk through the doors.
"Faith?" William called.
"Yeah." She said turning around.
"Do you want to meet us for lunch?" When she smiled he continued, "Meet us outside at the picnic benches that are out there." With that they turned and started walking away.
"Guys." She called. "Thanks."
"No problem." Angelus said.
Lunch
"Hey guys." Faith called to the two men sitting at the bench. Noticing that there was a redhead and another guy sitting with his guitar with William and Angelus.
"Hey Faith." William said turning to see the unsure brunette. "Come 'ere and meet the rest of the group."
"Hey, I'm Oz." The man with the guitar said.
"Hi I'm Willow. Or as people call me, Red." The redhead said.
"Hi, Oz, Willow. I'm Faith." She said as she sat next to William.
"Well it's good to finally meet you, the boys haven't stopped talking about you." Red said smiling.
"Oh really. They only met me this morning, didn't think they knew that much about me to tell." Faith said smiling feeling like apart of the group.
"Well sometime I think they just like to hear themselves talk." Oz said looking up from his guitar.
"What was that mate?" William asked looking at Oz with a twinkle in his eyes. "Surely, you're talking about Peaches here." William was barely out of the reach of Angelus.
"You should talk." Angelus said reaching for Williams bag. He pulled out a notebook and William snatched it out of his hands. "Someone's a bit testy on his writing." Angelus grinned.
"Boys stop it. I don't feel like explaining why you got into a fight today. Plus I don't feel like helping you limp to the nurses office." Willow said getting up from her place on the ground to hit both boys.
"So Faith, so why'd you move to Sunnydale?" Oz asked trying to break the attention away from Angelus and William.
"Well, my dad died two months ago and my mom and I moved here to live with my grandmother." Faith said calmly.
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to bring up bad memories." Oz said putting down his guitar and walking towards Faith.
"It's okay." Faith said noting that Oz's arm was around her shoulder.
"So how do you like it here?" Willow asked sitting on the other side of Faith.
"It's different, but it's nice. I miss my friends, but I'm glad that I met you all of you." Faith replied looking from Oz to Willow to Angelus and then to William.
"Hey guys!" Said a new female voice. "What's up?"
Turning towards the voice Faith looked up to a beautiful young brunette with waist length hair.
"Dawn, hunny." Oz said walking towards his girlfriend. "This is Faith. Faith this is Dawn, my girlfriend."
"Hi, Faith." Dawn said looking at the new brunette.
"Hey Dawn. It's nice to meet you." Faith said smiling.
{Ring!}
"There's the bell. So where are you heading, Faith?" Red inquired.
"I've got to go to the Library for study hall. You?" Faith replied.
"I've got study hall, too." William said walking up to Faith.
"I've got math with Angelus and Dawn." Red said.
"I've got English, by myself as usual." Oz said catching up to the group holding Dawn's hand. "How about we all meet here after school. Are we going clubbing?"
"Maybe. I hear there's this new club, on the other side of town. I was thinking about trying that." Red said.
"Sounds good to me. How about you Faith?" Dawn asked.
"I don't know. Maybe. It depends on if my grandma lets me out." Faith said looking at the pretty brunette.
"I'll walk you home after school and then I'll call everyone with the final answer." William said looking at a shocked Faith. "That is if you don't mind."
"I'm game." Faith said as they split off into groups. "C-ya guys after school." She said looking to everyone.
Walking into the library they saw a handsome older gentlemen. "Hey Uncle Giles." William called.
"Ah, William. Glad that you could come to study hall." Rupert replied sarcastically. "Whose this?" Rupert asked pointing at the brunette next to his nephew.
"Hi, I'm Faith." She said shacking his hand.
"Hello, Faith. I'm Mr. Giles the librarian." He said his smile friendly and his accent thicker than that of William's. "Go ahead and take a seat and study anything that you need to. There's no talking."
"Okay. Umm, do you have the text books here or is there a bookstore?" Faith asked lowering her voice.
"Here, what books do you need?" Giles asked walking towards the textbook section.
"I need sophomore English, an Algebra 3-4 book, biology, a second year German book, and a second year computer booklet." Faith said looking from her schedule to Mr. Giles.
"Ok here you go." Mr. Giles said handing the books over to her. "Did you get your locker?" He asked wondering how she was going to carry all the books.
"Yes, do you mind if I put these there?" Faith asked.
"No go ahead, take William with you." He said writing something down on a piece of paper. "And take this. It's a hall pass."
"Here let me take those for you Faith." William said taking the books from her.
"Thanks." Faith said smiling softly.
"I expect the both of you back in 20 minutes." Mr. Giles called out to them as they were going out the door.
Faith and William walked in silence to her locker and were heading back to the library when out of nowhere someone called out. "William!" A female voice called out.
He turned around and wished he hadn't. "What do you want?" He asked the blond girl in front of him.
"No hello?" When he shook his head no she continued, "tell Angelus that I would love to go out with him again."
"Keep your hands off of Angelus. Don't you know when to quit?" He angrily asked her. "I guess not. He's finally put 'is life in order and you want to ruin it. Don't think so ducks. He's finally got a real women in his life." He said remembering that Faith was there.
"Don't tell me. That redhead? I could run circles around her." She said laughing. "Well never mind him. How about the two of us?" She said putting her hand on William's face.
"How about not!" Faith said taking the new girls hand off of William's face. "He's mine anyways." Faith said slipping her arm between his and kissing his cheek. "So why don't you just run along." Faith said wondering where her voice came from.
"Fine, let me know when she's out of the picture. C-ya William." The blond said turning and walking the other way down the hall.
When she was out of sight, Faith tried to remove her hand but couldn't. She looked up at William and wondered why he wouldn't let her hand go. "William?" She asked confused.
"Thanks, luv." He said leading her off arm and arm back to the library.
