Thanks to those who left such sweet comments I'm glad people are enjoying it so far. Also apologizes for the mistake before where it said Ashley in some sentences instead of Danielle. I used the idea of a girl named Ashley but I just decided to put Daniella there instead since she's a regular.

"So what did you do to get in Mason's books so quickly?" Chlo muttered as she handed Faith the worksheet, Faith glanced to Chlo and shrugged with a sigh "I don't know, probably possible that she just is as stuck up as she came across in the papers"

"Nah Miss Mason is alright, really, she's done a lot for this school and cares 'bout us" Faith actually felt like that was good to know, the last headteachers she had to deal with didn't care about anything she did. Which is one of the main reasons she is used to acting the way she acts. She doesn't trust teachers. She doesn't trust anyone apart from herself and the person she is here for. Other than that, she has a hard time letting people in. But she did want to make a good impression on those she thought looked like they were entitled to it. Chlo seemed like a good kid to Faith "What's your name?"

Chlo gave a little smile "Chlo, Chlo Grainger and your names Faith, right?"

"Yeah, Faith Cooper"

"Nice to meet you"

"Yeah...yeah you too"

Come break time, Faith was outside, back against the wall. Bored out of her mind from having her phone taken by Rachel. She couldn't even catch a glimpse of who she was looking for. She was soon greeted again by Rachel as she held a piece of paper in front of Faith "Here you go"

"And this is?"

"Your timetable for your academic year" Faith took the piece of paper from Rachel's hand and shoved it on her bag "Can I have my phone back now?"

"It's only just been an hour, do you suffer that much without it?"

"Miss, look around, do you see any kid socializing?" Rachel looked around and noticed about two students not on their phones, and that was just because they were sat down on the grass eating.

Rachel looked back to Faith and shook her head "The answer is still no, you'll get it back by the end of the day" she began to walk away.

Faith then spoke up "That's bull!"

"Do you want to make it the end of the week?"

Faith puffed out a heavy sigh and didn't reply. Which in itself was a reply of no. Again Rachel turned her back and walked back upstairs. She joined Davina, who had just arrived back. Davina handed Rachel her cup of coffee. Davina had returned from resigning and moving to Newcastle, she instantly regretted her choice and asked for a second chance from Rachel which she gladly gave. "So what's the story over there then?"

"Oh just a new student, she's a little rough around the edges"

"Why is she wearing that?"

"She just turned up this morning, apparently her foster parents didn't care what school she went to this morning as long as she'd find one and turn up"

"Well that doesn't sound like a nice background"

"No it certainly doesn't, I'm hoping I can get through to her"

"Yeah? And how's that been going so far?" Davina said with a little giggle. Rachel gave her a look to express that it was not going well. Davina laughed and shrugged "The way I see it, Rachel is if you can get through to hard nuts like Bolton Smilie then you can get through to this one"

"Thanks...speaking of hard nuts have you seen Tom?" "I've barely felt confident enough to walk into the staff room I'm so nervous"

"I can't imagine" Rachel said with a chuckle as she took a drink of her coffee. Davina raised her left eyebrow with a little smirk "Can't you?"

"What do you mean?"

"Well are the rumours going around true? About Eddie?"

Rachel quickly shook her head and then tried to laugh it all off "No, no they're not true"

"Have you not heard from him?"

"Not from him or from Melissa, I presume they're very happy together"

"Come on Rach, you know thats not true…" Davina then said in a whisper "He loved you" Rachel didn't really know what to say, she knew that Davina was right by what was said. She again just smiled it off and said nothing.

Faith could soon hear chatter around the corner. Chatter about her. About how she looked like she was the kind to sleep around with any lad who would take her. And how she was Rachels new project, it would probably end badly like it did with Earl Kelly. Faith heard about Earl. And what he did. She was disgusted how she was being compared to someone like that. Faith turned the corner. She didn't know who she was. But it was Amy Porter. The school gobshite.

"You got a problem?"

Amy and Lauren laughed, Amy then poked fun "What's with the accent, Hermione Granger"

"It's called being from London, are you THAT thick?"

"Ya what?!" Amy yelled looking more aggressive. Faith dropped her arms from being folded to look just as aggressive "You heard me!"

"You the hell do you think you are?!"

"I'm the one you were talking shit about literally two minutes ago, you think I wouldn't say anything? Well you picked the wrong person to think that about"

Faith soon got in Amy's face. Shouting all kinds of threats. Amy was beginning to believe that she had picked a fight with the wrong person. The noise soon caught a crowd. And that soon caught the attention from Davina and Rachel "Oh flaming hell!" Rachel whined as she had to stop another fight.

She and Davina ran down the steps and over to Faith and Amy. Rachel pulled Faith away

"Faith!"

"WHAT" Faith screamed back in Rachel's face. Looking as if she would start a fight with her as well. Rachel didn't like the look in Faith's eyes, her eyes were also rather fascinating, her sea green eyes were almost illuminous. But still the rage and anger was frightening.

"Come on, the cooler"

"What! Are you serious?!"

"Yes I am very serious! Cooler NOW" Faith couldn't believe it. If she had heard the things that Amy was saying, perhaps she wouldn't have jumped to conclusions. Rachel gave a very soft nudge to Faith. They got in the building, Rachel quickly snarled "You've been here barely a day and yet you've caused the most trouble I have seen this month"

"Not to go all primary school but she started it"

"Yeah well, we'll get that sorted as soon as but right now you need to calm down"

"Been here two hours and you're already getting in trouble" The voice of a young lad came from behind. Faith instantly smiled and spun around "Bolton!" she ran over to him. Full of excitement, she wrapped her arms around his neck as his arms went around her waist, lifting her up and and spinning her around. Laughing. Rachel didn't quite understand. Bolton put Faith back on her feet and then kissed her. Ah. Now she understood. "Bolton?" Rachel said to ring his attention. Bolton looked up to Rachel and nodded

"Sorry miss, it's just, I heard Faith decided to come here and I had to see her"

"Well now you have, Faith needs to go to the cooler now"

Bolton sighed and looked to Faith "Wait here" Bolton walked over to Rachel and spoke in a quiet tone "Can I ask you something?"

"Of course you can, you know that"

"Can you please just take it easy on her, she acts all tough but that's just because she's had a horrible life"

Rachel then asked "How do you know her?"

"She moved from London to my cousins street which is where we met when I went up, we've been dated for about three months, I'm the only one she trusts"

Rachel nodded and glanced to Faith, she then looked to Bolton and said

"She has caused trouble, Bolton, but yes I will go 'easy' on her"

"Cheers, Miss" Bolton walked back to Faith and placed his hands on her waist "You can't screw this up, Faith"

"Bolton that girl out there was bad mouthing me"

"Who?" Faith pointed to Amy outside "Amy Porter? Nah man I'll fix that, I'll sort her out"

"Don't get in trouble, Bolton"

"You can't say that when you're in trouble right now" Bolton said with a laugh. He then looked at her to show he was being serious when he said "Don't be too harsh with the teachers yeah? They're solid, especially Mason"

"Serious?" Faith said with a disbelieving laugh.

"Yeah man, she's mint, honest you can trust her, now go on and just...just talk to her, yeah? She cares"

"She doesn't know me, Bolton"

"She still cares" Bolton said with a little smirk. Faith rolled her eyes and nodded "Fine, I'll see you later" Faith walked back over to Rachel with a tap on the ass by Bolton which she threw him a small smirk at.

"So, the cooler?" Faith said with an amused face. Rachel nodded and led her back to the cooler. Rachel lay down a piece of paper in front of Faith. Faith sat there with her arms crossed, she looked to Rachel "You can't be serious"

"I am being quite serious, I want you to write down your version of events"

"MY version? It doesn't take long, you want my version here it is, that cow was talking bad crap about me, I confronted her and it kicked off"

"And that is your version, I need you to write it down so I can compare to Amy's version"

"You'll believe her right? She's been here longer"

"That's not how I run things here, and trust me Amy is known for lying, did Bolton not mention that she was the girl that accused him of trying to rape her?"

Faiths eyes suddenly widened.

'Should not have said that' Rachel thought to herself. Faith stood up "THATS the girl"

"Yes and that was dealt with, now please sit back down Faith"

To Rachel's surprise, Faith sat down the first time just as she was asked. Every bone in her body was telling her to get up and leave to find Amy and rip her hair out. But Bolton told her to take it easy, he doesn't want her getting excluded from this school especially. With her foster parents not approving of Bolton for some stupid reason, this was probably to most time they would get together in a day. If they found out Bolton went here, they would send her to another school.

"How much do I need to write?"

Rachel gave a little shrug "Doesn't matter, just as much as you need to write to get your point across" Faith sighed and grabbed the pen and began to write "Thank you for co-operating"

Faith glanced up to Rachel and gave a little nod "It's whatever"
