Three years later
"I've only got this job cause you work here and we both know it" Faith said as she stuffed her bag. Rachel stood by the kitchen counter with a cup of tea in her hand, she shook her head "Now that's not true. It wasn't just me on the board that agreed to employ you"
Faith just shot her a glance with an unconvinced smirk. She had her degree, practically months out of Uni. But a teacher? Well trainee right now but it would to a job. Teaching was something that caught a flare for during her university years. And what better place to go than Waterloo Road? The school that literally changed her life, she got a degree in creative writing and english literature, she had always loved books and now she had a passion to teach kids about them, being young too, hopefully she could bring flavour to her classes. On the side, Faith was put on teaching dance as an after school class, something that was new to the school and Rachel wagered that a lot of girls and even boys would take an interest in it.
The students that were year seven were now year eleven's. Those 11 year old kids who found her like some kind of God for trouble making with now be signing up to taking her after school class.
Rachel looked at her daughter and then put her cup down to the side as she made her way over to her, putting her hand on her back "Are you alright? Nervous in anyway?"
Faith let out a small smile and shook her head as she looked back to Rachel "No I'm actually looking forward to it" she then laughed "Sharing a staff room with teachers who both liked and hated me will also be pretty interesting"
Rachel let out a confused smirk "Who hated-"
"Budgen, which will be fun shadowing his classes. Haydock in the beginning. Fry. And he's far from a teacher but Adam wasn't so keen" she looked to Rachel and raised a brow as she took her cup to her lip "Can't imagine why"
Rachel muttered a sarcastic laugh and didn't comment, she just took a piece of Faith's toast and had herself a bite. Faith folded her arms and leaned down on the counter "You sure I'm up for this?"
"And there it is" Rachel said as she dropped the toast back down on the plate and put her arms around Faith. Resting her head against Faith's "Yes I am perfectly confident that you have more than what it takes to be a great teacher. You being closer to their age will also give you popularity points, let's not mention the fact that you will still be rather infamous to the now year elevens"
Faith rolled her eyes and muttered as she stood up straight "Yeah. There's always that"
Eddie came down the stairs and into the kitchen to join them. Giving Faith a smile and a kiss on the top of her head as he then asked "How're you feeling?"
"You want the short list or the long?" Faith grumbled as she walked over to the sink and put her now empty cut and plate in. When she turned around, she saw Rachel and Eddie being all loving and cuddly. She rolled her eyes "You know, ever since you two actually got married I feel like you've become even more nauseating"
"Nauseating" Rachel repeated in an impressed tone as Eddie lifted her head from against hers, still rubbing her back "You're beginning to even sound like a teacher"
Eddie looked down to his watch "Speaking of which, should we getting going? First day back at school for our girl here"
Faith smirked and rolled her eyes. She was excited for it, maybe the foolish side of her believed that it would be a breeze.
The first day of the new year of school. Faith got out of the back of Rachel's car, staring at her old school that stared right back at her. Rachel turned round to Faith and smiled "You ready?"
Faith took her eyes to her mother and then nodded with a grin as she shut the car door "Yeah"
The good thing about this place, you didn't have to dress extremely formal, she wore a nice patterned hooded cardigan, white fitted t-shirt and black skinny jeans. Nothing special, still, it was an outfit that got boys to perv on her. Wait till they saw her gym gear for dance, she'll have more sign ups than usual. Though she could wear a bin bag and that would still happen. As they walked through the car park towards the school, Faith was welcomed by a familiar face.
"Faith! What you doing here?" Denzil's asked as he jogged over to her. Now in his first year of sixth form.
Faith smirked to him "You're looking at a new teacher of waterloo road, Den"
Denzil's face insantly lit up "Serious?"
"Deadly. In training for english and also after school dance and hey! I know you can throw some shapes so don't be shy in swinging round"
"Mint!" Denzil slapped his hand in Faith's "See you around then!"
Faith smiled to him as he jogged off, then to feel her mother nudge her "Faith. You do know you're going to have to keep a boundary"
Faith stared at Rachel and then laughed "Oh come, just a poxy high five"
"Yes maybe but just remember you are these kids teacher now, not their friend"
Faith muttered a small laugh and then of course she couldn't help but tease her mother and counted with her fingers as she made some points "You took me into your home and let me stay there, you let me call you Rachel and gave me your phone number all before you figured out I was your daughter"
She looked over and saw Rachel's unamused look which of course made her laugh, Eddie too as he nudged her gently with his elbow "She's pulling your leg as usual"
"I know, I know. Back to being in school with you is going to be fun again"
"Especially now that we're on the same side of the tracks" Faith leaned forward and said in a whisper, raising her brows to both Rachel and Eddie before they walked up the concrete steps into the school. There's been a slight refurb since she has last been back here but the old place hasn't changed too much.
As she walked down the hall, she noticed a few students. Both the ones that were here the same time as her and the new ones turned their heads as she walked past them. Rachel assured her that it would die down, but it was nice to know she was still the talk of the place. It was straight into the assembly hall, the bell had rung so students were piling in.
Faith looked around and saw people coming in, then muttering to Rachel "I must say, I haven't missed your little speeches"
"Well you'll have to put up with not enjoying them again" Rachel muttered back to her, then straightening her jumped as she stood straight and whispered before getting on the stage "Grab a seat"
"At the front where you can see me?" Faith joked in a high pitched voice. Rachel looked to her and then after a pause she nodded "Yeah"
Faith scoffed a laugh and walked over to the seats, sitting beside Eddie at the front. Then a friendly face on her other side "Hello stranger" Nikki said, folding her arms with a smirk on her face.
Faith looked to her and then after her smirk to hold in her laugh, she finally blubbered one out and whispered "Did you ever thought you'd see the day?"
"As in the day you ended up being my colleague? No"
"I can only imagine what the rest of them are saying" Faith muttered as she looked ahead. Nikki glanced to her and shrugged "What do you mean?"
"You're a maths teacher not a drama teacher" Faith sighed "Nice try though"
"I'm actually being honest when I say none of them have said anything bad"
"None?"
"I don't think Budgen really counts" Nikki laughed "He slags off everyone...but apart from him saying the expected of you only getting this job through your mum and complaining as usual. Everyone else is glad to see that you are doing well and kind of impressed that you've brought forward something new" she held her hand up and added "Teacher's honour. Plus you didn't even get this job through your mum it was a different deciding board"
"You don't have to tell me I was there"
"The kids will have a right laugh with that sarcasm"
"Hope so"
They were soon shut up as everyone was now in the hall and Rachel could start her welcome back speech. One that Faith is sure Rachel recycles and just moves around every year, but she won't let her little system be told to her now teaching colleagues, which will never not be funny to her. Rachel looked over to Faith and obviously did not let it go unknown or not touched upon "And also I would like to introduce someone who some students may recognise. Miss Faith Cooper our new trainee teacher of english"
Rachel subtly gave Faith a hand signal for her to stand up and just give a little smile and a little wave. Faith felt Nikki give her a teasing elbow before she rolled her eyes and then stood up. There was the odd whistle as she stood and gave everyone a brief wave, giving Rachel a glare as she sat back down. Seeing how amused it left her mother. Faith folded her arms and saw Eddie smirking in the corner of her eye "Shut it, dad"
After a few more sentences of how this year will be great and she wishes luck to the new students, looking forward to getting to know them blah blah blah. It was finished and students dispersed. Faith felt a hand on her arm, she turned around and saw Kim give her a smile "Can I just say, I am so proud to see you here"
Kim became a big help to Faith after the fire. She would act as if she was okay but she ended up having pretty bad PTSD. Just to add on top of all the other issues she had, no longer feeling comfortable with a therapist, she turned out Kim, being the school counselor and all. She helped her a lot in dealing with everything and became pretty close. Kim being Rachel's best friend, obviously she has seen her a lot over the years. Faith grinned to her and accepted her embrace, giving her a tight squeeze with her arms around her back "Thanks Kim"
"Well well well" Steph said walking over to them "When Kim told me, I didn't quite believe it"
Faith pulled back and looked to her former French teacher "Well. Believe it"
Steph gave her a warm expression "How've you been Faith?"
Faith shrugged "Uni. Alcohol. Sleep"
"Well now it will be, teaching. Alcohol. Sleep" Steph quipped, making Faith huff a laugh "Not surprising"
Steph gave her a smile and another nod "Well, welcome to the teaching crew"
Faith blubbered a laugh "Steph just because I'm young doesn't mean you have to use Backstreet Boy language"
Rachel soon came and joined them, putting her hand on Faith's back as she approached, saying with a kind expression "If you two don't mind. I just need to show Faith something"
"The glorified gym" Faith whispered with her brows raised before Rachel pushed her to the door, Eddie giving her arm a squeeze as she passed "Good luck"
"Thanks, dad. I'll see you later" Faith smiled, then turning her head. Rachel looked to Eddie and gave him a loving and proud smile before leaving with Faith.
Faith thought that she would be teaching dance in the gym, but that would just clash with PE lessons. So unbeknownst to her, the school had a little extension done with the refurb next to the gym. Rachel took her hand to prevent her from taking the wrong turn. Faith looked at her oddly "Mum?"
"This way"
"But this leads to outside?"
Rachel then smirked, shaking her head "No it doesn't, not anymore"
Faith's confusion was soon explained as they came into the new dance studio. It was quaint, in the corner was a desk where she could put her laptop and other stuff, then a wall of mirrors on the opposing side. It was enough room for an average class but it was more than enough. Rachel looked over and saw her daughter's face, her jaw hanging down and being totally overwhelmed by it all as she slowly stepped in "Mum..."
"Well, it would make the PE staff's life easier" Rachel said, seeing how Faith was getting surprisingly emotional and she nodded just nodded, clearing her throat and playing along with brushing it off "Course. Makes sense"
"Yeah so I put the idea forward and well..."
Faith turned back around to face Rachel and then leaped to her, wrapping her arms tightly around her neck. Rachel giggled and wrapped her arms around her daughters waist. Faith let out a pleased sigh as she rested her head on Rachel's shoulder and then muttered "You're too good to me sometimes, mum"
"Don't be daft love, you deserve to have your own space. And it was a good move for the school aswell" Rachel rubbed Faith's back and then pulled back. Cupping her cheeks, she then raised her brows to her to push forward her point "You can do this, Faith. I can see in your eyes that you've got some doubt"
"It's just...well you've done this for me on top of getting me the interview and I've not go too much experience-"
"-Darling-"
-"And I know what people will be thinking the fact that I didn't have to best track record here-"
"Darling, darling, stop" Rachel gently stroked Faith's cheeks with her thumbs, focusing her eyes right onto hers "You have been studying English three years. You have a degree and you have also been dancing ever since you were a child. I know the way you have gotten into this job isn't the usual way, but don't forget that you impressed that board better than any dance teacher with years of experience and teaching years did...you did that. And you have a few months to go before being a full teacher, take it step by step"
Faith sighed and looked down to the floor for a minute, Rachel dropped her hands down to Faith's arms and whispered "You can do this"
"Can I?" she said in a soft doubtful scoff.
Rachel put her hand on Faith's cheek to get eye contact again and then smiled "Yes, babe, you can"
The bell rang, Rachel took hold of her hand and began to lead her back out of the dance gym and back to the main body of the school "Come on, you aren't going to be in a lesson till the next hour"
"Really?"
Rachel turned her head to her and said in a quiet tone "You're shadowing Tom's lessons, not Grantly's"
"God bless you" Faith said breathlessly as they walked down the main halls. As they were passing together they saw two young girls walking into the school, the eldest, around year eleven, looking very stressed. Not even having her uniform on properly.
"What's that about?" Faith muttered as they both gravitated to the front door.
"Stay here" Rachel said quietly at the top of the stoned stairs as she then made her way down. Hearing the younger sister yell at her sibling "You're talking rubbish!"
"Hey" Rachel said soothingly as she approached them "I'm Miss Mason, the headteacher here what's caused this?"
Faith saw the eldest shake her head and say to Rachel "Nothing" then saying as she went to pull her away "She's just a cry baby, alright?"
"Wait a minute" Rachel politely stopped them again. She looked down to the youngest, how upset she seemed. Rachel looked to her big sister "Why don't you go in and get yourself sorted for class"
"No my sister's coming with me" she argued.
"No, no your sisters staying with me, thank you...go in"
Faith saw as the eldest came up the stairs. After another student, Ross called her by her name 'Lindsay' as she ran after her. Faith looked at her past her from over her shoulder and then looked back to her mother who was consoling the little one, she was leaned down to her legs to get to the girl's level and then suddenly saw Rachel wave her over with her eyes still on the pupil. Faith made her way down the steps and approached them. When she did, Rachel stood up straight, putting her hand on the girl's shoulder "Miss Cooper"
Faith tried not to laugh. That would take some getting used to, as it would to Rachel but she still carried on "This is Emily James, new to the school. Would you show her to her classroom please?"
Faith looked to Rachel and with a simple expression she knew what she was doing. Emily didn't want to tell Rachel what was wrong, so there might be more of a chance with a teacher who is nearer to her age. Faith had never played a supportive person before, not to little kids anyway. It wasn't as if she had any siblings. Still, she did her best. Faith gave a tight yet comforting smile and nodded "Of course I can"
Rachel gave Emily a reassuring smile and nodded "Trust me, Miss Cooper is very fun to be around"
As Emily walked in, Faith huffed a small laugh to Rachel and slightly mocked "Aw, thanks mum"
"Shut up" Rachel smirked "Just get her to her classes and just try to find out what's been going on. Whilst I try to get some luck with the eldest"
"Lindsay. That's her name"
"Right, thanks, love" Rachel rubbed her arm and then they parted ways as Faith took Emily down a different hall, slipping her hands in her pockets and soon breaking the silence "You know. Today is my first day too"
"Really?" Emily looked up to her, Faith nodded "Yeah. Teaching wise. I was a student here though Once Upon A Time"
"What's it like?"
"It's the best, and that isn't me just saying that. If you knew me, you'd know I don't bite my tongue. I came here with no hope for my life...and this place change me"
Emily found herself smiling, only a little but still, it was a smile. Faith looked back ahead and then added "Your sister alright? She seemed upset before"
Emily shrugged and looked down to the floor. Faith glanced to her and sighed a small smile "I know, I know. You don't want teachers breathing down your neck. I hated it too. But y'know sometimes it's better to tell even just one person, maybe you won't go through your first day so upset?"
Emily looked to Faith for a moment. Faith was so casual, she was so cool about everything that what she just said was what a teacher would say, it just didn't sound like it. It wasn't like Faith was trying to trick Emily, to trying to make her feel more comfortable. Emily sighed and said "I don't really know...my mum and dad were arguing today and well Lindsey got involved"
"I see, happen often?"
Emily just shrugged "Maybe a little"
"Mustn't be very nice" Faith sighed "But in some families, especially with daughter's your sisters age, they can clash with their parents through teenage rebellion. Sure it will pass"
"Was it ever like that in your home?"
Faith sighed and nodded "In one of them" she looked down to Emily, seeing her confused at first and then clarified "I was in the foster system you see, some homes weren't that great...you got your timetable?"
Emily nodded, taking the paper out of her bag and asking as she handed it over "Were you there like all your life?"
"Up until I was seventeen, then I found my birth mother. Now I live with her"
Emily smiled "That's nice"
Faith looked from the paper and smiled to Emily "Yeah, she's pretty great too. Okay you're in food tech first...with Miss Fry"
Don't be biased, don't be biased, don't be biased her mind told her over and over. She cleared her throat and gave another tight smile "Okay, just up these stairs" she put her hand on Emily's back and led her the right way. Emily looked around the school as she did so and then heard Faith say "Try to put what happened this morning to the back of your head, can't make new friends whilst you're upset about something"
"I'll try"
"Good" Faith said with a gentle smile, patting Emily on the back and echoing in a mutter "Good" as she walked ahead a little to the door, knocking on before opening it up to introduce Emily. Ruby looked up to Faith and took in a breath through her nose "Faith-"
"Miss Cooper now" Faith said with a smirk. She couldn't believe Fry was still here, but Rachel was a sucker for a sob story and ever since that day where she slapped her, she found it in herself to give Ruby the benefit of the doubt by the fact she has been mentally distressed and decided to give her a second chance. Ever since then, Ruby has been okay.
Ruby, realizing she was in front of her students, nodded and corrected herself "Miss Cooper. What can I help you with?"
Faith looked to Emily and nodded for her to come forward, she put her hand on the young girl's shoulder and said as she turned to Ruby again "This is Emily James, a new student here"
"Oh. Right okay, well come on in, Emily" Ruby said with a tight smile, then looking to Faith and giving her a nod, saying in a flat tone "Thank you, Miss Cooper"
"Oh anytime Miss Fry" Faith whispered, filled with sarcasm before closing the door and making her way down to the staff room. She was a stranger to this old room, she remembered the last time she was in here she was yelling at Grantly because of Rachel going off to save Bianka Vale. Not the best memory she ever possessed she must admit. Still, this was her homeroom now. And she walked in with confidence and with the attitude to say she deserved to be there now. The first person to greet her was Davina, with a grin on her face, she opened up her arms "Alright stranger"
Faith laughed and accepted Davina's embrace, a tight, brief moment. Davina rubbed her back and said as she pulled away "So great to see you, and congratulations for getting this"
"I'm in the boat you were in now" Faith muttered a laugh, slipping her hands in her pockets as they walked over to the kettle, Davina shrugged with a small smile and then nodded "You know, it's actually nice sitting back for a while before being pulled into the full thing. And Rachel told me that you'll be shadowing mine and Tom's classes instead of Grantly's"
Faith laughed breathlessly as she nodded and flicked the kettle on "Yeah. She knows what I'm like with him"
"Well I suppose you'll get more out of our anyway" Davina shrugged, to which Faith just nodded to. She then tapped Davina's left hand and said, looking to get a teabag "Congratulations by the way, when's the wedding?"
"Not sure yet" Davina said with an excited smile. Then something popped into her head, putting her hands on her hips she then asked "Hey, how's Bolton doing?"
Faith looked to Davina after pouring the water in the cup, she then turned around and leaned against the counter, but kept her eyes down onto her spoon that was playing with the teabag. She just shrugged and said "When I find out I'll let you know"
Davina pinched her brows to her with a curious look on her face, Faith looked up to her and just shrugged. Soon, Tom came over to make a fuss and the conversation moved on.
After getting a cup of tea and a catch up with some more of the staff, including Chris, Tom looked at his watch and when he saw the time he slapped Faith's leg with his newspaper and said as he stood up "It's time, you ready?"
"Yeah" Faith smiled, then teasing in a whisper "I'll try not to fall asleep like I used to"
Tom let out an offended laugh and muttered as they walked out "Same old cheek"
Her first lesson as a teacher trainee which was basically just an assistant went well. The whole day was going well, up until Rachel told her to go and fetch Emily James and bring her to the Pastoral Care office. When she did, there were two investigators, Rachel and Lindsay who was sat down on the settee where Rachel then said for her to go and take a seat beside her sister.
Faith didn't know what was going, not until the investigator suddenly struggled to say what had happened. As soon as he said 'Your father...' she had a fair idea where all of this was going.
Her hand remained on her chest that suddenly felt all tight and her stomach in a big knot. She couldn't bare to imagine that, if someone sat her down and told her that Rachel had died. Her whole world would crumble, she would die. Then she saw Emily fall apart once she understood what it was that Rachel had to tell her from the officer not having the stomach to say it. She watched as Emily leaned on her sister and sobbed, looking at Lindsay for some sympathy. Faith then looked to Lindsay and noticed how her expression was stone cold.
Faith couldn't work out whether it was down to shock or down to not being phased. She had a feeling that Lindsay knew more about her dad than Emily did.
"They are going to need to make a statement later today" The officer said, meaning the girls.
Whilst Emily nodded and did as they were asking. Lindsay opposed "No, no way why? We didn't see anything. Miss I need to talk to my mum"
Before Rachel could say anything, the officer told her it wouldn't be possible right now. Which didn't settle well "Is my mum okay? He was hitting her you know"
And there it is Faith whispered in her mind. Lindsay knew a darker side to her dad that Emily clearly didn't as her vocally made clear "He wasn't! He wasn't!"
"Shut up Em! What the hell do you know?" Lindsay snapped, standing up and walking to the door. Rachel quickly got up, nodding to Faith to go over and be with Emily whilst she talked Lindsay down.
Faith walked over to Emily, sitting on the arm of the settee and rubbed her back, Emily took her teary eyes to Faith and muttered a cry "You said it will be okay"
Faith took in a deep breath through her nose and sighed as she shook her head, not knowing what to say other than "I'm sorry...I really am"
After a short while, Rachel got Lindsey to calm down and work remotely in a co-operative way. Rachel nodded and then said "Okay. You two, would you care to come with me to my office and we will go from there?"
Lindsay said nothing and just left, with Emily then following her out. Rachel and Faith thanked the officers for coming over and they went their separate ways. Lindsay and Emily sat outside the office, quiet as a mouse whilst Rachel sat down behind her desk, looking to the girls and sighing "What are we going to do?"
Faith shrugged "Poor kids...Lindsay knows something though"
"You think?"
"Just the way she is...when she says he was violent I can't help but think..." she then shook her head and shrugged "Maybe she saw it or something"
It wasn't was she was thinking, what she was thinking in her gut wasn't something she wanted to throw out, it's a serious thing to say and she could be wrong. It wasn't even something she would tell Rachel right now, because she would have to investigate it. And right now the last thing Lindsay needed was that on her case, especially if it was true. Suddenly, the phone rang, to which Rachel knew she had to answer.
Faith sat there, sitting on the corner of her desk and waited as Rachel hummed and nodded to whatever it was being said on the other line.
"Thanks...yes I will tell them" Rachel put the phone down and sighed, looking to Faith and her expression said it all. What they were thinking before turned out to be spot on. Faith just sighed and pinched the bridge of her nose as Rachel stood up and walked over to the door "Lindsay can I just have quick word please?"
Lindsay slowly rose and approached her, leaning against the door frame. Rachel took a moment and then informed with a heavy heart "I'm sorry, your mum won't be coming home today...the police are saying that your dad has been murdered. They're charging her"
Faith looked up and saw the heartbroken look on the seventeen year old's face, they all then glanced to Emily. Wondering how the hell it could be explained to her. Lindsay looked to Faith for a moment, all Faith could do was to give her an apologetic expression. She couldn't say anything to make her feel better. Lindsay gulped heavily and said in a weak mutter "So what do I do?"
"A relative will come and pick you up...right now? You can wait till the end of the day here or in Miss Campbell's office. Whichever you and your sister prefer"
Lindsay sighed as she thought for a moment and then shook her head "May as well stay here" she walked back over to Emily, sitting beside her and taking hold of her hand, quietly telling her the situation.
Faith then walked over to Rachel "Bloody hell"
Rachel looked to her and rubbed her back "Bet this isn't how you imagined your first day"
"Well...it wouldn't be waterloo road without some drama" she then scoffed and shook her head "But this"
"I know" Rachel mumbled "I know"
Faith looked back to her mum and bit her lip, then taking a step forward and putting her arms around Rachel's neck, pulling her close. Not really thinking about the fact it was in front of two students, Rachel took her arms around Faith's waist and whispered "I know, love"
"Just..." she sighed "Just hard hitting, you know, I couldn't imagine-"
"Never will" Rachel assured, giving her a kiss on the cheek and rubbed her back as Faith then pulled away and cleared her throat. Seeing that Emily and Lindsay spotted the embrace, Faith wiped her cheek as she walked out of vision into the office. Rachel just gave them a tight smile and walked into the office herself, rubbing her hands together and then saying "Your dad will come up here at the end of the day and we're taking you to the pub, first drink with the staff and everything"
"Wow. My first time and your first time" she teased.
Rachel hummed a laugh "Yes, I know it's been a while"
"A while" Faith laughed.
"Shut up" Rachel whispered to her.
A little while after, the girls went off with their relative that picked them up and Eddie found his girls in Rachel's office. Giving Faith a smile "How's your first day been?"
"Well aside from playing a grievance counselor-"
Rachel nudged her without looking up from packing up her bag. Faith then shrugged "It was really good, I had a good time"
"Glad to hear it and I'm proud of you" Eddie said, putting his arm over her shoulder and kissing the top of her head. Then looking to Rachel as he rubbed Faith's arm and said "So. Are you coming to the pub?"
"Of course" Rachel said, putting her bag on her shoulder "I'm a very supportive mother"
"She also really needs it" Faith whispered.
Rachel then nodded and pointed to her "Yes, that too"
Eddie frowned "I know. It's been a tough first day...but just gotta watch out for those two whilst they work through this. And hopefully the police will get to the bottom of things in a peaceful way"
"Amen, brother "Faith teased in a whisper. Eddie laughed and gave her a shake before they all headed out of the office. Faith sighed and said to them "Davina asked me about Bolton before. I wager I'll get asked more"
Rachel and Eddie looked to each other, Rachel looked back to Faith "And what part will you say exactly?"
Faith looked to her and all she could do was shrug. First day of trainee teacher was down. And it was one she won't regret in a hurry.
Former Waterloo Misfit has become a Teacher.
This was quite an impulsive thing to do by having a time jump but I am looking forward in developing it further. The Lindsay James storyline also seemed like a good fit for Faith's character.
I hope you guys are on board with it!
