Hello! Here is the sequel. Just a heads up, the characters I used weren't in the school at the time on the show but I've just kept in those characters that I want in the story. Hope you enjoy!

A new term. A fresh start. For some that is. Faith Cooper was no longer a messed up foster kid, she was now in a stable home and had a mother. Had a family. And she and Bolton were better than ever. But that didn't even stop her from running into trouble now and then. Well, now more than then. On the first day back, she was stood at the front of the school with Bolton, Sambuca and Finn. Talking about normal stuff.

A football hit her in the face out of nowhere. Everything went dead silent, Faith picked up the ball and booted it. Booted it so hard that it went higher above the lad that kicked it and flew straight into a window. Of course it smashed through "Ah shit" Faith mumbled, especially as across the way stood her mother. Rachel and Kin stared at the window. Rachel turned to Faith, looking gobsmacked that she just did that "Faith!"

"Sorry?" Faith said with a bright smile, hoping her charm would get her out of trouble. And it didn't.

"Go to the cooler" Rachel sighed.

"Faith, cooler"

So as you can see. Things haven't changed completely.

"You're going to have to pay for it"

"What? Mum it's not like I meant to have a ball be hit in my face!"

"Well, we give a fine to any parent of a student that breaks anything in school, I'm your parent and I'm telling you that you're paying for it"

Faith rolled her eyes and groaned, sinking down further in her chair. Great, that's a good £50 out of her pocket. Rachel wasn't going to lie,it wasn't easy having a daughter who had a behavior like Faith's, especially with her attitude towards school in general. And Faith found it hard having her mother as the headteacher. Harder than she thought anyway. Even harder having the deputy head to be her future Step-dad since Rachel and Eddie got engaged over the summer.

Eddie and Faith got on a lot more better to Rachel's relief.

Faith placed her forehead on the table "Is Nikki in today?"

Nikki Boston was new to the school but not new to Faith. She was a teacher in Faith's last school. And she was the one who Faith could always go to if needing someone to talk to. Hearing that she was now put here. Faith still wanted to be able to speak to her. Of course she would go to Rachel with absolutely anything, but it is nice sometimes to talk to someone who isn't the headteacher and isn't their mother, it's how all teenagers can feel. Bolton for example tells his mum everything, but he also goes to Rachel when he wants a talk.

"She will be, why?"

Faith stood up and slipped her bag on her shoulder "Cause I want to talk to her" Nikki was what Rachel was to Faith in her old school. A mother figure, a friend. And someone who could calm her down. So, Rachel knew how it was important to Faith to go speak to her.

"Alright, love, but I expect that money to be on my dressing table when we get home"

"You want it today?"

"Well yes, Faith, I'll need to get that window fixed"

Rachel rubbed Faith's arm as a way to say sorry for nagging her so quickly. But then again, Faith had gotten used to the motherly nagging.

Faith made her way down the hall and saw Nikki stood outside the hall. As she went to go speak to her, she heard a tall, blonde man asking to see Rachel.

"I've been waiting her all day, I'm not leaving till I see Miss Mason"

Faith stopped and looked to him "What the hell do you want with her? What you demanding her for?" the man turned and looked at her, confused.

Faith was quickly pulled away before kicking off over nothing. She sighed and looked to Nikki "You don't want to start on a stranger now do you?"

"Do you know what they want with my mum?"

Nikki shook her head and looked to the man "No, can't say I do, I'm sure it's fine though"

"He sounded rather demanding for my liking" Faith muttered. She was overwhelmingly protective towards Rachel. She had changed a lot from Nikki's point of view. She used to not care about anyone in the whole school, and now here she is. Preparing to argue with some total stranger out of protective instincts.

"Well, I heard you made quite the smash this morning"

Faith laughed and rolled her eyes "Yeah, you could say that, it bit me on the arse though, still have to pay for the damn thing"

"Mum not paying for you?"

Faith gave her a look as to say 'as if' causing Nikki to laugh.

"So, you wanna talk?" Nikki asked presuming that was what Faith wanted. Nikki and Faith have chats nearly once or twice a week, just to check up and for Nikki to see how Faith is doing. "Yeah"

By the end of the day. The man from before was still keen on seeing Rachel and refused to leave until he was given a shot. Eddie for one didn't like the way that this man demanded to see Rachel. Who did he think he is?

"Just tell him he's missed his shot and he needs to leave"

"He's waited all day, Eddie, we can at least hear him out"

"Hear who out?" Faith questioned as she caught up with them. Eddie sighed due to the situation and stated to Faith "This bloke had been handing around all day, demanding to see your mum"

"Oh that guy? I saw him before, he was...keen"

"You didn't say anything did you?" Rachel sighed as she put her arm around her daughter as they walked. Faith didn't really give a full truthful answer "Didn't have a chance to get into it, I was just curious as to what he wanted from you that's all"

Rachel didn't question it. She just took it on the chin. When she saw the man in the canteen, she asked Faith to stay outside whilst she spoke to him. As this was a pure teacher thing. Faith did as requested and stayed outside. She was supposed to meet Bolton soon anyway, but she needed Rachel for a ride home.

When the man saw Rachel walk through the door, he knew her. But she didn't know him straight away, she clocked on that they must have had some kind of history as he said "Amanda?"

Rachel stopped. As did Eddie and looked to each other. Rachel raised her eyebrow and said "Excuse me?"

The man placed his hands on his chest "It's me, Adam...Adam Fleet from high school"

Rachel laughed as she looked at him. She couldn't believe it. Now she recognized him, she held out her arms for a welcoming hug and nodded "Yes of course! Adam Fleet, Fat Adam...oh sorry" she laughed again as she gave him a friendly amorous hug.

"Eddie, this is Adam, like he said we went to highschool together" Eddie shook Adam's hand and instantly wanted to make it clear where he stood with Rachel by putting his arm around her waist as she stepped closer to him.

Adam looked at Rachel, surprised by his actions, but Rachel soon cleared it up "Yes, Adam this is Eddie Lawson he's my deputy and my fiance"

Instantly Eddie saw the shot of disappointment on Adam's face when Rachel revealed their relationship, but he didn't let it how enough for Rachel to take any notice "So it's Rachel now?"

"Yes I just...had to change it"

The conversation turned into more of a professional approach as Adam said that he was here to be a chef at the school as he found out through ads that the school was looking for a new chef to bring in a new way of food. He was eager to please and really wanted a shot to show that he could really change the school food around for the better.

Eddie and Rachel were also open minded. As Adam offered to show them what he's made of right now Faith walked through the door due to being impatient "Jesus, can we go now!"

"Faith, manners would be nice" Rachel laid on softly. Faith scoffed a laugh and rolled her eyes. She turned her head to look at Adam's shocked face. He remembered her, the girl who yelled at him before. Faith looked at him up and down and snarled out "What?"

"You were the girl who yelled at me before, yes"

"What? Oh for heavens sake Faith I asked you if you did anything and you said no"

"I said I was curious I never said no" Rachel sighed and then again realized she couldn't actually say Faith was lying because all she said was she never got a proper chance. Adam noticed the relationship that Rachel and Faith were sharing and questioned it "Sorry am I missing something here?"

"Probably" Faith stated, making her get a nudge from Eddie. Who did in fact have an amused smile on his face, it seems that they were on the same page about this Adam guy.

"Yes, sorry, Faith is my daughter"

"Your daughter!" Adam said in a completely shocked tone. Faith nodded and laid on in a sarcastic tone "It's amazing how reproduction works isn't it"

"Okay" Eddie laughed, he put his hands on Faith's shoulder from standing behind her and nodded "I'll take this one home, you stay and I'll come back and pick you up when you're done"

"Really?"

"Yeah, just give me a ring or a text and I'll swing back round"

Rachel gave a loving and grateful smile and Eddie and nodded "Okay thank you"

Rachel then looked to Faith and said as she stroked her daughters cheek "I'll be speaking to you later"

Faith knew what that meant. It was 'you were just rude and we need to discuss how you should act' talk. It bores the hell out of Faith and it doesn't even sink in. But Rachel was taking on the mother role really well and knew that sometimes she and Faith needed to talk about this sort of thing.

Her response was again, a roll of the eyes.

As her and Eddie began to walk down the hall. Faith muttered "I don't like that guy"

She heard Eddie mumble a laugh but didn't comment "And you don't like him either"

"I didn't say that"

"Silence speaks volume" Faith laughed as she gave him a nudge "Don't worry about him, he's no threat. I'll make sure he won't cause anything"

"Faith, don't start any trouble, remember what your mum and Nikki said"

"I know I know, but if trouble finds me, who am I to run away?"
