Coming out of the shower, she got dressed quickly and headed back to her room once there she found hope already dressed and sitting on her bed brushing her short white hair humming happily to herself.
"I love school," she said to her sister once she had sat down beside her.
"You love any excuse to be smart" faith replied in her usual cold way grabbing the brush from her sisters' hands to brush her own hair.
"Just cos I'm smart and your not" hope called out pulling her jacket from the cupboard and heading down stairs.
"Just cos I'm smart and your not," Faith repeated her words sarcastically.
She too grabbed her coat and followed her sister.
Passing two doors, she stopped to bang on each.
"John, Vanessa you're going to be late" faith called out.
She stood banging for another five minutes before letting out a sigh and running down stairs.
She entered the kitchen to see her mother pouring a glass of milk for her sister.
"Good morning faith" Ororo said smiling gently.
"Mornin" faith replied rigidly.
"Would you like some blueberry waffles," Ororo asked after putting her last batch onto a plate for hope.
"Ill just have an apple" faith stated grabbing an apple from the fruit bowl and heading out the front door.
She turned round once.
"Tell dad I missed him but wanted to say good morning" she said then walked out the door.
Hope quickly bundled the pancakes into her mouth, kissed her mother on the cheek then ran after her sister.
"Faith wait" hope yelled after her sister running to catch up with her.
"I want us to walk together," she said once she caught up.
"Funny I don't" faith answered walking faster.
"Come on faith you know I don't like walking alone" hope whined miserably.
"Fine but once your friends get here your gone" faith grumbled.
"I swear" hope said smiling.
Then walked on for about ten minutes when the school came into view standing at the front gate were the cheerleading squad.
Two girls in the front of the group turned round to look at the twins.
Smiling they ran up and past faith shoving her out of the way to get to hope hugging her softly.
"Hi hope when did you get here?
What class do you have next?
Will you sit beside me?"
Faith could here the usual questions hope was asked by the cheerleading squad on every given day.
Rolling her eyes disinterestedly, she managed to get out of the group of girls.
'Cheerleaders' she thought to herself angrily.
Hope was not actually a cheerleader but she was best friends with the head cheerleader and faiths second worst enemy Naomi summers.
'Second only to Michaela Creed' she thought with disgust.
Finally, she reached friendly territory.
The Loner/Goth/Mosher/Freak area of the school
"Home" she whispered gleefully.
"And isn't it beautiful" said a voice behind her.
She turned round to be greeted by the familiar look of yellow eyes, blue lips, white teeth and a tail.
"Kieran" faith called hugging him fiercely.
"Did you miss me?" he asked nonchalantly
"No" faith replied cockily.
"Well you may not have missed him but I know you missed me" another voice called out.
She turned round only to be pulled into a deep and passionate kiss.
About a minute later, the kiss was over and she smiled up at the person, suddenly the smile turned into an angry look.
"Jeffrey how many times have I told you not to do that" she yelled swatting him playfully on the chest.
Soon the rest of the x-men started showing up now the only people missing were lea and tiffany.
"Malachi have you seen tiffany" faith asked turning to the monster of a man.
"She has an early cheerleading practise she will be out soon" he answered his voice booming over the sound of children playing.
"Okay and does anyone have any idea where lea is" faith asked the whole group turning to look at each one in turn.
Margaret was the one to speak.
"I talked to her about ten minutes ago she said she was stuck in traffic, she said would meet us in homeroom." Margaret replied nodding her head as she finished.
"Right thanks" faith stated smiling broadly.
Suddenly the bell went off and the students all piled into the school.
All the xmen walked together, as luck would have it they were all in the same homeroom along with a couple brotherhood members and all the female acolyte members and Apocalypse.
Faith hated him being here but raven (Mystique) said he deserved an education like everyone else, but faith new why he was there and it was not for an education.
Slowly they entered the classroom walking to their assigned seats.
Sitting down next to an already seated tiffany, faiths eyes wandered over to the door where two sets of eyes stood watching her
Soon the owner stepped forward into the light revealing themselves to the people in the class.
Watching this person faiths hand slowly travelled up to rest on her neck running her hands once again across the scar.
For at the door stood Apocalypse.
