Everything happens for a reason
Everything happens for a reason, a motto Emily Fitch would tell herself every day. Like there is a reason she has a twin sister, who she can't stand because of her controlling nature. There is a reason Emily let's Katie (that's the twin) get away with controlling her and making decision for Emily. Up until now Emily really didn't know the reason for this but her first day at RoundView College, the college her sister wanted to go to not her, made her realise everything happens for a reason.
There's something you don't know about Emily Fitch, she seems like the quiet twin who is over powered by Katie but Emily is more interesting then meets the eye. In middle School there was one girl Emily couldn't keep her eyes off and the one girl was called Naomi Campbell (not that Naomi Campbell, a different one). This Naomi was beautiful; Emily always got lost in the blonde girls blue eyes. She always thought to herself they were so captivating that just one look sent a shiver through Emily. Emily loves eyes, she once told Katie that eyes tell you everything about a person and this is exactly why she got so transfixed on Naomi's. As much as Emily wanted Naomi to be her's she never thought it would happen until year 11, fourth period on 17th May 2008.
It was a science lesson and the teacher had paired the class up, Emily remembers clearly because Katie made a huge scene because she wasn't paired with Emily. Emily knew the only reason she made a fuss was because Emily would do all the work for Katie and Mrs Haywood-Smith (she's the science teacher) knew this to, so Emily was paired with Naomi. Emily remembers the walk to the back of the classroom where Naomi sat felt like it went on forever. To many feelings were rushing through Emily's body that she was afraid she was going to reveal her love to the girl she hadn't even spoken to. As she got closer to the table Emily's eyes met Naomi's, a small smile appeared on Naomi's face, Emily had no control over her facial expressions right now and her cheeks felt like they were on fire. Emily knew Naomi could see her blushing "shit" she cursed under her breath, this was not the smoothest way to tell someone you like them. I mean if it was a boy it would easy (Katie has a new boy practically every week and no one cares) but Naomi wasn't a boy and Emily knew this would never be easy.
Emily sat on the stool beside Naomi and just as she was going to say hello the teacher started talking about what they were going to be doing today. Naomi was concentrating hard on what the teacher was saying but Emily couldn't hear anything that resembled words she was lost longing to be Naomi's. Emily had never been this dangerously close to Naomi, well apart from her dreams, her heart was beating so fast that when Naomi turned around briefly just to smile at her, Emily thought she must of heard her heart thumping against her chest. The teacher finally stopped talking and Naomi turned around to face Emily "So do you want to pass me the iodine" Naomi said but Emily didn't even hear her. Naomi waved her hand in front of Emily's eyes "Helloooo, did you hear me?" Emily quickly sat up " Um sorry I was umm.."
"Staring at your tits" Ben said from behind them, the class started laughing, including Emily's twin. "Silence" the teacher said, Naomi turned around to Ben and stuck her middle finger up at him, this made Emily smile "Lezza" said Ben and got on with his work. "So Emz the iodine" Emily passed the bottle to Naomi, there hands touched slightly when the bottle was passed between them, it was enough to make Emily's heart skip a beat. "Right umm do you know how we're supposed to find out the starch in the leaf, were you listening Emz?" Naomi raised her eyebrow at Emily. Emily knew straight away it was a trick question of course Naomi knew she wasn't listening like Ben clearly stated she was looking at the blonde's tits. Emily smiled thankfully being the cleaver twin she knew what to do.
"Ummm ok Naomi we need to place the leaf in boiling water first so do you want to light the Bunsen burner? (Emily loved to see the surprised look on the girls face, it was so sweet but Naomi did what Emily asked) is it boiling yet?" Naomi looked at the water then at Emily and nodded " Ok you need to put the leaf in the beaker, this will open up the cells of the leaf. Take it out carefully and put it into that beaker to remove the green chlorophyll then that beaker to remove the alcohol. Finally put it in the dish now we can add the iodine to see if it contains starch."
"Wow Emily you must have been listening after all" Emily smirked at Naomi, they both looked down at the leaf and watched it turn a bluey black, which meant the experiment was over, it contained starch. Naomi turned to face Emily, their eyes locked together, then the teacher clapped to get everyone's attention, both Emily and Naomi jumped and faced the teacher.
As the teacher spoke Emily felt a finger softly graze her hand, she was almost to nervous to look up, without moving her head Emily subtly looked at Naomi who whispered, "wish we'd been paired up a long time a go Fitch" Emily couldn't believe what she was hearing and this was the last day before study leave just her luck. At the end of the class Emily and Naomi exchanged mobile numbers but Naomi was going away for the summer and told Emily she wouldn't be able to see her till September talk about leaving a girl hanging. Although throughout the summer Emily and Naomi exchanged countless amounts of texts so much that Katie would get pissed off not receiving as many texts as Emily. Emily never told Katie who the texts were from and until this morning Emily didn't think she would see Naomi again because she was going to the college round the corner the one Emily was originally going to but surprise surprise Katie got her way and Emily ended up in RoundView but like I say everything happens for a reason.
