+ Most of this chapter is a flashback, but it's of how Spike and Faye met for the second time… If you recall we left off with the doctor telling Faye she was going to stay in a foster home and would be going to a local High School… Also that Spike when he was at the hospital getting his hurt eye fixed saw a girl with violet hair and green eyes… Hope you like chapter 7 ^__^ +
+ Sorry that it's taken so long, read the notes at the bottom, to find out why. ENJOY! +

"Faye, it's time to go, you're going to be late for your first day!" Faye's emerald eyes fluttered opened and she stared at her foster mother. "It's seven thirty in the morning!" Faye's eyes grew big and she flew out of her full sized bed. The place was small, but homey. She missed her mother, and her friends, but she'd have to move on…That's what her mother would want.
"Why didn't you get me up sooner Aya?" Faye whined pulling off his shirt and getting changed.
Aya was short, with green eyes and blonde hair. She was around the age of forty-seven. "I did honey…You growled and rolled over saying that you were already awake and would be out in a minute." She rolled her eyes and let her fingers run through her hair. "I'll drive you, should make it to first period just fine."
"What, it's in the same room as my home room, isn't it?" Faye grabbed a hair brush tearing the knots out.
Aya shook her head. "Not anymore, you move from classroom to classroom, it's easier for the teachers, and you get to meet more people that way—"
Faye's eyes grew dark. "I never had any friends when I was in high school." She frowned and walked out of her room and into the bathroom to brush her teeth and put on some cover-up, and eye shadow.
++++++
"Have fun!" Aya waved. "You'll be fine, don't worry, just be yourself!" She laughed and pulled out of the school's parking lot.
"Welcome to hell." Faye sighed.
"Miss. Valentine, right?" A woman with dark blue hair smiled at her. "You can call me Miss. Hines, I'm the school principal. I can get you your locker number, and a print of out your school schedule, if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask me a thing. Homeroom is going to end in about ten minutes, so let's get moving!" She smiled brightly locking arms with Faye. She was young, in fact she looked not older then twenty-three.
++++++
"Number, three thousand eighty-seven…" Faye trailed off counting in her head as she reached her locker. People swung the doors opened and ran out laughing and screaming.
"That was so stupid!" A tall blonde girl flipped her hair over her shoulders. Her blue eyes were shining as people laughed and guys dolled trailing behind. "I mean its English class, not the history of Shakespeare life!" Everyone laughed again.
Faye rolled her eyes. 'She just thinks she's funny, she doesn't no how stupid she sounds.' Faye threw her book bag into her locker and grabbed her notebooks, folders and binders. It took a while, she hated these lockers too, and it would be so much easier if she could go to her old school…But she couldn't even go back to Earth. She now attended an upper-class school near the city of Tharthis.
"Are you the new kid?" A girl with dark hair came up to her. Faye nodded smiling.
"My name's Faye." She smiled. No one was staring at her oddly like they used to. She wanted to see that guy again.
"My name's Jessica, my mom's the principal of the school. I was stopping by her office and she told me to give this to you when I saw you. The trip is tomorrow, you don't have to pay since its late notice, but if you want to go you can." She smiled brightly. You seat should be in the back.
"Thanks, I think I will." She laughed as Jess ran off.
"I'll see you around!" She waved and ran around the corner. "Hurry up or you'll be late for first period!"
Faye's eyes widened. "Oh no!" Faye hissed running down the hall with all her binder, folders, and notebooks in arms.
"Hell, I'm going to be late!" A voice shouted running full speed around the same corner Faye ran around.
"Watch it!" Faye screamed stopping as fast as she could. The person ran into her sending her flying backwards. She closed her eyes hearing him shout out in pain falling in the other direction.
"God, I'm sorry, are you…?" Faye opened her eyes and glanced at him as he trailed off. He was staring at her, his brown eyes wide. It was as if he was trying to recall where he had seen her. "Have we met before?" He asked leaning forward to pick up on of her notebooks. Her folders and papers had been scattered all over the ground.
Faye grimaced rubbing her forehead. He was very handsome. Tall and thin with dark brown eyes and unruly green hair. On most people it would look just offal, but it suited him just fine. "No… Today's my first day here. My name's Faye." She mumbled grabbing her binder. He sighed looking down in defeat, as if she had crushed his pride. Faye blushed. He really was good looking, wasn't he?
Spike just shrugged his shoulders and laughed lightly. "I'm really sorry about this…" Faye smiled. "Where are you headed, maybe we have some classes together." He smiled at her.
"I think science…Do you know what room that is?" Faye frowned handing him the paper with her schedule.
"It's the fifth one on the left. He pointed down the hall so Faye knew which way to go. "Hey, you're in the same Math class as me!" His eyes brightened. Faye smiled maybe her morning wouldn't be so bad after all.
Faye smiled taking the paper from him. "I'll see you around then." She smiled brightly.
He nodded. "Where'd you move from anyway?" He took Faye's hand helping her stand up. He was already going to be late, might as well make the best of it.
Her green eyes widened, and she nearly dropped her books again. "I… Oh, I'm a transfer student." Faye looked down and walked in the other direction.
"Oh, that's cool." He watched her turn, and start to walk away. "My name's Spike by the way!"
Faye nodded waving and walking down the hall. "See you around Spike!" She laughed. Faye looked away as a girl ran out of his classroom. Faye smirked and bit down on her lower lip. 'I hope I see you around a lot…' She blushed at her thoughts.
++++++
"Oh my god…" Faye brought her hands to her face and tears formed in her eyes. "Spike…" She fell to her knees gripping on the bottom of his shirt.
Spike's eyes widened. "What, what's wrong?" He quickly bent down taking her hands into his own.
"You… In high school. I went to your school in eleventh grade…" Spike's eyes widened.
"That can't be… I would have remembered…" He trailed off. "Unless…" His breath caught in his throat. "When did you come to our school?"
"The day before the trip, that was the one that really caused me to loose my memories!" Tears were streaming down her face. Spike's eyes were blank. As if he was watching his past role by in a film in his head.
"I ran into you in the hall, I forgot everything from that year practically… I never bothered to remember it; because Julia was alive…I was in love with her at the time, oh Faye…" Spike trailed off locking his arms tightly around her. "You were the girl I saw in the cyclonic then too." He smiled pressing his face against hers. "It was as if fate was playing some cruel game with our lives—"
"Faye, we need to talk…" Vincent trailed off gripping his fists tightly.
"Stay quiet buddy…Can't you see how much he loves her, let them be, you'll get your chance." Shin's eyes narrowed and he squeezed tightly on his shoulder.
"Touch me again, and I'll shove my fist down your throat." Vincent smiled turning towards Shin, his teeth clenched tightly together.
"I love you." Faye uttered into Spike's ear closing her eyes and absorbing the warmth of his body. Spike smiled feeling tears forming in his eyes. They really were made for each other. Spike nodded laying a kiss on her neck before pulling away to find Vincent staring down at them.
"Vincent…" Spike trailed off nodding his head.
Faye bit down on her lower lip. "I want to be your friend Vincent," Faye paused for a moment trying to figure out the right words to say. "maybe if you and I had run into each other again, earlier, I wouldn't think of you differently, but I can't." Faye bit down on her lower lip. "Try and understand this from my point of view, okay?" Faye was talking in a low tone of voice.
Vincent's eyes narrowed. He could feel his heart shattering into tiny pieces. "I was wrong about you Faye…I shouldn't have ever talked to you to begin with." His eyes narrowed. "Friends…Who needs them, right, I mean you said so yourself, a human can live pretty well by them self."
Spike gripped on Faye's hand. He's been stalking her, for how long? Spike didn't like how this was turning out. Faye just bowed her head and smiled. "I'm sorry, good-bye Vincent." She whispered.
He glared and walked away slowly. 'This isn't the end of it Faye…You'll be mine, you'll see love.' He gritted his teeth as Shin tried to trip him being his smart self.
++++++
It's not over yet! But Faye finally remembers! I might have a Spike flash back in the next chapter too. I'm thinking were looking at 3 years later after the twins were born… Vincent decides to come for a little visit ^__^ Heh-Heh…
