Just tryin somethin new, let's see how this works…

Note: Let's assume this happens 2 years from when Faye Chamberlain of The Secret Circle was in Highschool, and while the Upper East Siders are in college…So, yes, they're all in college.

Chapter 1: New Girl

Faye Chamberlain was walking towards the cafeteria late one afternoon after her Communication Arts class in NYU. She had just transferred from that old community college in Crowhaven Road. She had to leave. She had spent her entire life in Crowhaven Road but she had to leave.

Two years ago everything was fine. Until Cassie Blake came along. Sure, they were part of the Circle, and they also managed to become friends…and then things changed.

When Faye and Diana's parents Dawn and Charles got married, things got a little out of hand. She found out about what Diana's dad Charles did to Cassie's grandmom, Jane. How he put a spell on her that makes him in control…She confronted him, and he told her that no one will believe her. He even said that her own mother was in charge of killing her grandfather. Her grandfather whom she so loved.

She couldn't take it. She tried to tell Diana about it, but she didn't believe her. She said she was just trying to blame her dad, to blame the world for everything. Diana said she was being selfish. Faye also confronted her mom. For the longest time, she had the inkling that her mother, her own mother had something to do with what happened to her grandfather. There were the silences when they talked about her grandfather, the looks…There was something there. And then through Diana's dad, she found out.

But Diana was being so blind. So blind she couldn't even see the evil that's lurking in their own house.

And then there was the storm. The storm they all blamed her for. The storm that killed Cassie's grandmom.

She had been there, yes. But only because she followed Diana's dad, Charles, and John Blake…John Blake, Cassie's dad who was supposed to be dead. But no, he's alive. And he's taking the identity of someone else. Their principal. And Diana's dad and her mom were working for him.

Diana's dad brought Jane, Cassie's mom to the dock…And then..and then there was a storm. And then she saw Jane floating, on the water, dead. She called for help, she was shouting. Adam's dad came out, ran to the dock, and then they came.

Cassie and Adam. And Diana. They saw Diana's dad getting Jane out of the water, saying he tried to help but there was nothing he could do. Cassie was so mad, she blamed Faye for it. She said that Faye made it rain, that Faye was taking her anger out on her, on her grandmom. Faye tried to tell her that she was innocent. That she didn't do anything. But she didn't believe her. No one did.

And so she had to leave. She had to get away from it all. She had to start fresh.

"Hey, watch it! What are you, High School?" Faye shouted at some girls who just walked past her, squealing and talking about their lovelives. Her black hobo bag fell on the floor thus spilling its contents.

"Need help?" Chuck Bass said as he and Dan Humphrey found Faye on the floor. He knelt down in front of her, helping her with her bag, but she managed to get it all in time. She looked at them scathingly and stood up. Chuck transferred to NYU after his therapy with Dr. Elizabeth Barnes and after Blair Waldorf and Prince Louis Grimaldi have tied the knot. He wanted to give Blair the peace she deserves, he said.

"Thanks, but no thanks." Faye said, rolling her eyes.

"Wow," Chuck muttered, "Someone's being unfriendly. I assume you're new. In any case, I'd love to tour you around, you know, if you need any help."

"Thanks, but no need. Who are you, anyway?"

Chuck looked at Dan, "Man, she's asking who I am." He then faced Faye, "I'm Chuck Bass. And you are?"

"Why are you talking like that?"

"Like what?"

"Like you expect everyone to know you,"

"Because he does," Dan said, "I'm sorry about my friend here, he's still hearbroken about the girl he loved to just got married to a prince…Monaco's Prince Louis—"

"The girl whom I loved and whom you also did."

Dan took a deep breath.

Faye laughed. "You're funny," She said, "You're both like, pathetic. Mooing over one girl…"

"We've both moved on from that," Chuck said, "Now let's start fresh. Again, I'm Chuck Bass. And this guy right here is Dan Humphrey…And now, you…"

"Faye Chamberlain," Faye said.

"Beautiful name," Chuck said, "So, where are you from? I haven't seen you around here."

"Crowhaven Road," Faye said, "In New Salem."

"New Salem?" Dan said, "Does that place even exist?"

"Exactly," Faye said, "Now let's not talk about where I came from. What matters is I'm here."

"Right," Chuck muttered, "Wanna eat?"

She took a deep breath, "I would've said no, but…well…Why not?"

After having coffee and cake, Chuck, Dan, and Faye went out of the coffee shop. Faye was stunned. She stood out of the shop and couldn't walk.

"What's wrong?" Dan asked her.

Faye looked at the car parked in front of the shop. Adam's car. And behind it was Jake's.

Diana, Adam, Cassie, Jake and Melissa were standing outside the cars, in front of them.

"Holy shit," Faye said, slowly walking towards them.

"Faye," Diana said.

"What the hell are you doing here?"
