Lindsey walked into the school's library. She always came here at the end of Monday afternoon to start studying for any tests she had coming up in the next week or two. Not only that, she was left alone. And sometimes she really liked that. It wasn't that she was depressed, angry or any of those things. She just liked to be away from everyone else and think freely. Lindsey was fourteen now. She'd spent the last three years of her life trying to get over what happened, just like he wanted her to.

"Okay, Mr Johnson's making us re-do that maths test.." Lindsey thought out loud. Her long, curly blonde hair cascaded down her shoulders every time she moved.

A brief girly giggle was heard from behind her, she turned around and raised her eyebrow. "Oh, I'm sorry. I uh—" The raven haired girl stuttered, her crystal grey eyes were dazzling.

"It's okay. I'm Lindsey. I haven't seen you here before" Lindsey inquired; she pulled out the seat next to her and patted on it, gesturing for the girl to come and sit down.

The raven-haired girl timidly sat down next to Lindsey, she had the most palest of skin and her eyes were outlined by black eyeliner. She wore a flowing, black dress with choker around her neck. She certainly got Lindsey's attention! "Oh, I'm Faith, Faith Carter. I just changed schools. I've always lived in Las Vegas" Faith said quietly, her voice was angelic, like she had secrets hiding beneath her pretty face.

"Awesome. Wait, I think I saw you in my English class" Lindsey stated brightly. She was a very approachable girl; most people seemed to like her.

Faith nodded and looked down at her Maths notes. "I really don't understand any of this. And we've got a test soon, right?" Faith asked with a sigh, her one finger came up to play with a strand of straight, jet-black hair.

Lindsey nodded. "On Friday. Hey, since you're new. Want to come over? I can help you with this maths stuff and we can hang out" Lindsey asked kindly, she was pretty sure her Mom and Sara wouldn't mind Faith coming over, they would have had time to sleep and brighten up after their double shift anyway!

"Oh I- I don't know" Faith mumbled, but Lindsey wouldn't take no for an answer and shoved her things back into her purple bag and got up, taking Faith by the arm and dragging her off to her house.

It didn't take them long to arrive at Lindsey's. The bus was on time for a change and Lindsey managed to bring the right amount of money. "You have a really nice home, Lindsey" Faith said.

Lindsey chuckled and rummaged through her very disorganized bag to find her keys, finally she found the shiny pieces of metal and fumbled with them until they fit into the lock. Lindsey walked in first, Faith followed; she hid behind Lindsey shyly, her eyes suddenly becoming interested with her shoes.

"Hey Linds, who's your friend?" Sara asked, her eyebrows were raised and a questioning smile was painted across her face. Catherine came trailing behind Sara and wrapped her arms around Sara from behind, her chin resting on Sara's shoulder.

"Oh guys, get a room?" Lindsey sniggered, putting her bag down on the counter and kicking her shoes off.

"This is Faith, she's new to my school so I invited her over, is that okay?"

Sara and Catherine nodded, Sara broke off contact with Catherine as they all walked into the kitchen, and Sara and Catherine stood behind the kitchen counter whilst Lindsey and Faith sat on the stools. Faith didn't mutter a single word. She hadn't even looked up to say hello.

"Faith, you okay?" Lindsey asked brightly, her hands diving for the plate of cookies Catherine had left out.

Finally, Faith looked up. Her grey eyes were taking in Catherine and Sara's features before she turned to Lindsey and nodded. "I-I'm f-f-ine" Faith stuttered.

Sara looked at the girl, her skin was beautifully pale and her dark eye-make up couldn't have suited her any better. Her black summer dress had thin, half see-through sleeves. You could see the faint scars on her arm, which self-harming had left her. Sara's eyes twitched, this girl was certainly a mystery. But something about her was ever so familiar. Like she'd seen her during a case or something.

"Well anyway. We're going to head upstairs" Lindsey said awkwardly, the silence was beginning to get on her nerves. Faith nodded and got up; she too had stopped making contact with either Catherine or Sara. It was like she was afraid of them.

Once the two teenagers had gone upstairs, Sara turned to Catherine and put her arm around her waist. "Cat? Did that girl seem familiar to you?" She asked.

"Not really. Why's that?" Catherine asked before moving to place feather light kisses on Sara's exposed neck.

Sara did her best to smother a moan before saying "I swear I've seen her before, on a case or something" She said.

"Oh, baby. Stop over-thinking things" Catherine stated before moving her lips skilfully away from Sara's neck and firmly onto her lips. Sara moved her one hand and tangled it in Catherine's golden locks while she increased the pressure of the kiss. Catherine felt like she was floating on air, she loved the way Sara's hands moved through her hair, she loved the way Sara would massage her shoulders when she had been sitting at a computer for hours at work. She loved the way Sara could make her turn into someone she thought she'd never be, she loved the way Sara made her complete in that strange way.

Sara moved away from Catherine's lips and tried to control her breathing, her own brown eyes connected with Catherine's and she smiled blissfully. "Damn Cat, I friggin' love you!" Sara said with a laugh.

Meanwhile, Lindsey and Faith were finishing up their maths problems. Faith yawned and stretched out one of her legs. "If y-you don't m-mind me asking. I-s- S-sara you're Moms girlfriend?"

Lindsey rolled her eyes. "Yeah. Are you going to run off screaming or something?" She asked bitterly.

Faith's face turned incredibly innocent and she shook her head "Of course n-not!" Faith defended. Lindsey couldn't help but find it cute.

Lindsey glanced at the clock, it was getting late and they did have school tomorrow. "Its okay. Hey, Faith? Its getting late, want my Mom to drive you back to your place?" Lindsey asked.

Faith shook her head. "It's okay. I'll w-w-alk" Faith said and got up, she thanked Lindsey and left the room. She was a mystery indeed.
