Full Summary:
Naomi and Emily meet at a summer camp. There's an instant attraction. Emily's gay and Naomi's just...Naomi. Take a squiz?
It's slightly "The Parent Trap"-ish, minus the whole sibling/family storyline and add the Summer Camp. So...nothing like The Parent Trap and like any movie set at a summer camp. Stupid idea? Probably.
Alternating points of view.
I don't own Skins, but I do enjoy it, and I hope you enjoy this :)
Why the fuck did she have to go anyway? Was it really her fault that she had no friends? Was it really her fault that she was jobless?
No, it was her mum's fault…for giving birth to her. That's what Naomi liked to put it down to. She rather enjoyed being alone. People were emotional and complicated. Naomi had it figured out, keep it simple. No friends meant no emotion, which meant no complications. See, simple. The fact she was jobless, well, was her fault. No boss would keep you around if you were receiving sexual advances from a co-worker and as payback throw a hot bucket of water across the front of the young mans trousers. Apparently the safety of his crotch was more important than hers. Naomi happily walked out the door, sticking her finger up on the way out. She didn't need this place. Coffee-making wasn't making her happy, and certainly not her future.
"Great, now you've gone and got that poor boy's dick all burnt. Won't be able to shag or piss all week!" Her mother stated.
"Oh boo-boo, I'm sure his dick could do with a vacation." Naomi rolled her eyes.
"Naomi dear, what are you going to do all summer then? Because you're sure as hell not going to be moping around here!"
"I don't mope!" Naomi defended.
"Darling, you mope. I love you…but I refuse to live with you all summer while you're in this shitty little rut. Get yourself some friends, a nice boyfriend, a job….anything. We know that won't happen here, so I'm sending you to a summer camp."
"Wha-" Naomi started before being cut off.
"Lovely little place it is. By the beach, lots of kids, and we all know you'd be cooped up studying here the whole time…well, you can do it there!" Gina smiled, proud she'd made a bold move for her daughter.
"Mum, I'm not going. I don't do camps." Naomi protested as she began to walk off.
"Naomi, please. I'm doing this for you." She pleaded.
"Mum, you're doing it so you can shag your new man all over the house and you won't hear me complain about it."
"Well, that too. But sweetie, it'll be good for you. Just give it a shot. If it's shit after two weeks…you can come home. Deal?"
She knew her mum's heart was kind of in the right place. But being forced to live around a bunch of other people who she was surely going to hate, was not her ideal way to spend her summer.
"Two weeks? How long does this thing go for?" Naomi questioned.
"Eight." Gina smiled again. "Come on love, it won't be that bad. Probably fun I bet. Think of all the kids your age you'll be able to hang out with. All the attractive boys that will be there. All the study you can do by the beach." Gina tried to convince Naomi.
"Being around people was what I wanted to avoid. I don't need a boy to satisfy my needs and what 'attractive' boy spends his summer at a camp! Also, I can study here." Gina's smile disappeared. "…But, since you went to all this effort...I suppose I can give it a shot." Naomi sighed as her mother walked up and gave her a huge hug.
"Great!" Gina said as she walked out of the room, then returning with new luggage and a pamphlet on top. "Because you leave in a few days."
"Fucks sake…" Naomi said under her breath as she walked off.
"Emily, come the fuck on bitch! We're leaving!" Katie yelled from the bottom of the stairs.
'Argg!' Emily responded clearly aggravated. She shoved the last of her clothes in a suitcase and threw it downstairs, just missing Katie.
"Ah! Watch it, bitch!" Katie bellowed.
"Sorry." Emily smiled sweetly as she picked up her suitcase and made her way for the car.
The drive was painful. The nearly four hours appeared to take a lot longer. Katie rode shotgun, while Emily and James sat in the back kicking and nudging each other the whole trip.
Emily loved her family, but at the same time, she couldn't stand them. Her younger brother was an annoying, pervy little twerp, while her twin was a self bitch who dominated Emily. Emily and her mother rarely got along. Jenna had her life painted perfect, and Emily's growing resentment for her family, 'friends' and even herself, didn't really fit that picture. Her father was a big man physically, but was also his wife's doormat. Emily saw a lot of herself in her father. Someone who just let life go by, tiptoed around everyone else so they didn't cause any grief. The way she judged her family often made her think, who was she to judge them? Was she in fact worse off by pointing out all their flaws? Maybe it was Emily who had problems and not them. It's not like Emily was unhappy, she just wasn't…happy. Living in her sisters shadow her whole life did very little for her self esteem.
The Fitch children forcefully spent every summer at the camp. A vacation away from home where they could still learn, the words were repeated from Jenna over the years. It seemed more like a vacation for their parents.
James spends his summer at the junior campus with his cousin, while Katie and Emily share a cabin with their summer-camp-formed-friends Pandora and Effy - both sent against their will.
They arrived at the camp, checked in and made their way to their room.
"What the fu-" Naomi couldn't finish her sentence.
"Lovely isn't it?" Gina slammed the car door closed and deeply inhaled the scent of fresh air.
"Mum, where is the beach? The dorms? The 'lovely' place you were talking about? We're out in the sticks!" Naomi called from the car refusing to get out.
"Don't be like that love, you enjoy nature."
"I enjoy nature yes, but I certainly didn't prepare myself for sleeping in the middle of a forest!" Naomi stepped out of the car wishing she had packed a warmer variety of clothes.
After a quick goodbye and checking in, Naomi made her way to her cabin/home for the next eight weeks. She entered her room and saw that she was sharing with 5 other people who had evidently claimed the 'better' beds, leaving her the dusty one in the corner. "Great…" She sighed.
Before the introductory assembly began, Naomi thought she'd sneak down the forest, out of bounds, and have a cigarette or two beforehand.
"Hey there…" A mysterious voice came from behind her. A nice voice. Instead of turning, she remained still hoping for the voice to speak up again.
"You know you shouldn't be out here…the assembly is starting." The voice said as it got closer to Naomi. She turned around to put a face to the voice. And what a face it was. Not just the face, but everything. She had never seen anyone so…so stunning. Those eyes. There was something about them that really drew her in. Naomi was analytical about people, she figured she needn't get close to anyone as she could see the depth of a person in how they carried themselves.
"You a mute or summat?" The voice teased.
Naomi watched their lips moving and subconsciously licked her lips. She wasn't like this. Naomi didn't like people. Nor find herself drawn in so quickly to someone she had never met before. Naomi once tried to define her taste. She didn't like labels, that made things complicated. She always found herself far from what she wanted and wound up with 'messy' boys. It's not that she was interested in them, but they seemed to be the only one's interested in her. So on the random occasion, Naomi's drunken horny self would give in to their lack of temptation and have meaningless, passionless and regretful sex. Never at theirs or her house, always at the club or a nearby park. She often thought it made her a slut, but she justified this with; going to someone's house, waking up with someone else - made it real. And this, wasn't Naomi, she wasn't ready to welcome people into her life, so why should she allow this to be her reality. But this person was different. With one look. No, one sound, Naomi was hooked. That voice. That hair. Those eyes. Those lips. Naomi wasn't in love, or lust. She didn't even want to know who this person was, what their life was or really, anything more about them than what was in front of her…and in this moment, she just wanted them. Her eyes very much showed hunger, as the stranger's lips smiled a nervous but cheeky one at her. She wasn't used to feeling like this. So drawn to someone who was far from who she usually hooks up with. So different, but so much better. She knew she'd regret this later, but in this moment she didn't care.
Naomi smirked and tried on her lamest attempt at flirting. "You come here often?"She raised an eyebrow suggestively.
The lips laughed at the question, before replying. "Since forever. You?"
"This. This is my first…" Naomi suddenly thought she was answering a different question as her eyes were intently staring at a pair of lips. It seems the figure had caught on too, as they raised their eyebrow and crooked the corner of their mouth.
They eyed each other up and down for a moment, then, somehow they were kissing. Naomi allowed the stranger's tongue to enter her mouth as she pushed the figure against a nearby tree with ease.
Naomi's hands began to wander aimlessly up the strangers back, enjoying every touch. She tilted her head back to allow those lips and that tongue to suck her neck.
Naomi thought to herself, maybe this summer wasn't going to be so bad after all.
Thoughts? I'm trying to figure out how this works...
