Disclaimer, which applies to all chapters: I do not own the School of Rock movie. Anything you recognize from the movie belongs to those who created it, and anything or anyone you don't recognize (i.e. Amber) belongs to and is the creation of yours truly (that would be me). Thank you.

A/N: I'm back, and with a new version of An Angel To Change An Angel (the first version is still up if you want to compare them). I've reorganized the story, actually thought through all of this characters (Amber is especially different in these first chapters) and even added in a few things that I forgot to last time! To celebrate, I've posted two chapters, which you definitely can't expect every updated, seeing as how school as now started. –Kris

Ambriel Kirst—otherwise known as Amber—was usually a very level headed type of girl. She was a natural-born leader, and was used to getting her own way—it just so happened that her brother's were the authority figures in her life.

"Come on, Gabe, please?" She'd resorted to begging. It was that bad.

Gabriel turned to look at her, and it was almost like she was looking into a mirror that aged and switched your gender. They both had their mother's green eyes and their father's black hair—although Amber's had been streaked with natural-looking red highlights—and their facial structures were the same. They didn't look as much alike as Gabriel and her other brother Michael did, of course, seeing as how the boys were identical twins. "No, Amber."

"Why do you want to switch schools, anyway?" Michael turned a page in his book, looking for all the world like he and his younger sister weren't having a disagreement. "You've been at your school since you were little. You've never had any problems—"

"—your best friend is there—"

"—not to mention your cousins and the rest of your friends—"

"—and you're doing perfectly fine both academically and socially! To change schools in the middle of your freshman year might destroy that!"

"Okay, first of all," Amber answered, holding up a finger, "stop doing that creepy twin thing. Second of all, Mai and me will be best friends even if I moved to China. Three, I can see my cousins and friends anytime I want, it's not like we're moving out of the apartment, and four, I'll be totally fine both academically and socially. Nick goes to Horace Green, I'll have him! "

"Nick is one of the main reasons we're not letting you go. He's influencing you enough without you seeing him every day."

"I don't understand you two! You have no problem with Joni and Jeri, who, in case you've forgotten, are his sisters."

"True," Michael said, "but they're not the ones who run around with their friends, acting like hoodlums."

Amber rolled her eyes. "Nick and his friends are harmless."

"That's what they want you to think."

"Get real."

Just then the front door opened, and Gabriel's wife, Mary, came in. She was holding their daughter Kerry in one arm while supporting a back of groceries with the other. "We're home," she announced.

"Mary," Michael immediately said, "do you know what your sister-in-law wants to do?!"

He said it in such a tattling tone that Amber cried, "Grow up, Michael!"

"What now?" Mary sighed, handing Kerry to her father before setting the bag down on the kitchen counter. Kerry stuck her thumb in her mouth, wrapping her other arm around her father's neck as she tried to go back to sleep.

"She wants to move schools," Gabriel answered.

Pausing in the act of taking out a bag of apples, Mary looked at her husband. "What?" Realizing that he wouldn't have the answer she was looking for, she transferred her gaze to Amber. "What?"

"I want to transfer to Horace Green High."

"What's wrong with your high school?" Setting down the apples, she put her hands on her fist. "And don't tell me you want to transfer because Nick is there."

"Of course n—why is that the first thing you guys think?! I'd choose Mai and the twins over Nick any day of the week!"

"Why, then?" Gabriel demanded, jumping back in to the conversation.

"Because their math program is way better than ours. You know I want to major in mathematics, and how can I do that when my school barely focuses on it? We don't even have a math league! Do you realize how sad that is?"

There was a slight pause before Mary said, "That sounds like a good reason to me."

The looks of shock on Amber's brother's faces were comical. "It does?" they said at the same time.

"Yes, boys, it does. But, Amber, why didn't you tell us this before your freshman year? It would have been easier."

Amber shrugged. "I didn't know about HGH's mathematics program until about two months ago when Nick mentioned something about their math students hitting tops at the Mathematics meet. After that, I researched it on the net and pieced together the rest for myself."

"I see. Well, for now, focus on that Social Studies grade, and if you bring it up to a B so that you can pass your freshman year, we'll enroll you at Horace Green High for next year."

"We will?!" the twins demanded.

"Of course. Education is important, boys, and whether you like it or not, Amber is going to college in a few years. She needs as much experience in the mathematical field as possible. Now grow up, be men, and let your sister make some independent choices."

Amber laughed and ran across the room to throw her arms around Mary. "I love having you as a sister, you know that?"

Mary patted Amber's head. "Yeah, I know. You're lucky, too."

Gabriel and Michael looked at each other. "Did she just decide without us?" Michael asked.

"Seems like it. Is that fair?"

"Hey man, she's your wife. I just live here."
