Wow, she's fit.I thought. The hair and beauty girls surrounded me now, after they had opened up the Red Sea as if I was Moses to guide my red carpet to the college. And by me I mean we. Em was just behind me, straggling along as usual. All of the girls were eating up how I'm with Danny. If they only knew how shit he was in bed. I looked her up and down, letting her know I noticed her. She raises her eye brows at me, like a dare. Well, she's fit and I'm fit actually. She and I should be together. Like friends. I made sure to talk about Danny within ear shot for her. So, she would know. I was doing her a favor actually. Girls like us, it's hard to find ones with a good reputation and such. Why was she with Pandora though? They must be friends since five or something. Like how I have to look after Emily. Ugh. Speaking of which.
"Byeeee." I wave slightly to the girls in black.
"Byeeeeee." They all sing out of sync back to me.
"For Christ's sake, Em. Come on you loser! You're always lagging behind me. Why can't you wear decent clothes?" I ask her. I said it so that girl could hear me. I get what it's like having to look after someone. I wanted her to know that.
I walk past her once Emily had finally caught up with me. She totally watched me. I turn my head over my shoulder to make sure she had followed. She and Pandora were walking behind us. I turn back around making sure she hadn't seen me.
"Ems, who's that girl who's with Pandora?"
"I don't know. I don't think I've seen her before." Emily's eyes were elsewhere. I glance to where she's looking at. Ugh. Fuckenlezzo bitch. I pinched Emily's arm bringing her eyes to where we are walking.
"Ask Pandora for me, yeah?"
"Alright. We're going to see her at orientation anyways."
We walk into the auditorium. I walk Emily towards the back of the benches into the corner, that way I had a complete view of everyone. After the long-winded introduction, they finally start roll call. They call Emily first then me. I sweep my eyes across the benches to see who is paying attention to where I am. The usual suspects. I see that girl again, up front, with Pandora. Why would she sit there?
They call JJ and Cook. Finally. Elizabeth Stonem. She raises her hand. I started to wonder why that name sounded so familiar and then it clicked. Tony Stonem. She must be his sister or something. I whisper to Emily,
"Do you think that that girl is Tony Stonem's sister?"
I look over at her. Emily's eyes are somewhere else yet again. She can't pay attention for one second. Drives me fucken bonkers.
Then not too minutes later Cook is shoving out his cock to the whole crowd. If you ask me, I think Naomi had brought it on. Probably wanted to see it. She's pervy like that.
The orientation is over and we have a small break before the next session of classes begins. I wait towards the corner by a locker with Ems. It's right before the main corridor to the classes. And there she is again. I raise my eye brows towards her, letting her know I'm ready to speak. I hear a "woah" behind me.
Ah, spot on timing. Show time.
I turn towards him.
"Hi, I'm Katie." I say with a smile and dip my shoulder.
"I'm Bruno, and what do you know?" Typical.
"Helllooo, and who's your friend?" He had obviously spotted Stonem.
Instead Pandora jumps in and starts rambling again. It's not until I hear her turn towards Elizabeth and calls her "Eff". That sounds much more familiar. Effy Stonem. I've heard that before. Finally Pandora leaves. I turn again towards Effy.
"Cute." Pandora is Emily.
"I'm Katie. That's my sister." I continue. I wave towards Emily, motioning her. I have my baggage too. Just like she has Pandora.
"Aren't you Effy Stonem? Haven't you got like a really cool brother?"
"Yeah, he's cool." She finally speaks.
"All of my friends fancy him. I wasn't so fussed though. Didn't he go mental or something? Anyway, I've got a boyfriend. He plays for Bristol Rover Reserves." No need for her to think I want to shag her brother.
"Impressive." Her lips are pursed.
"Yeah. He's well lush. Let's sit together. We can chat because you know, we're the best looking in here. Sorry, but we are. We should hang out. Definitely. " I glance around the room at all the wankers. It's hardly a decision at all for her.
Then of course Naomi has to walk down once again, ruining another part of my day.
"Oh no, here it comes. Total lezzer bitch." Naomi walks right up to me as if she was expecting something.
"Excuse me." She speaks. I roll my eyes letting her aside.
"Yeah, like, don't talk to her. She tried to snog my sister in middle school." I continue towards Effy. Effy's lucky, me teaching her all of this.
"Pervy. Don't you think, Eff?" I finish.
"Watch out, Katie. I might get confused and fuck you with my great big strap-on by mistake." Naomi interrupts.
"Muff-munching bitch."
I turn towards Em.
"Just jumped on you, didn't she, Em?"
"Leave it, Katie."
I don't understand why Em always sticks up for her. She should learn to stick up for herself. That's why I always have to be around for her.
"Come on, we'll get the best seats, yeah?" I turn to walk Effy out with us now. My newest recruitment.
We sit in the middle towards the back again. Great to have a wide view of everyone. Effy is sitting to the left of me. She's still so quiet. I cross my fingers and lay my hands out on the desk pleased with myself. It took no time at all before Effy Stonem would follow me around like the rest of them. I get called on for another useless college exercise.
I stand up. "Erm, I'm Katie. I've never not had a boyfriend since I was seven." I tilt my head and bounce my shoulders slightly. My eyes sweeping the room again for reactions. I wonder what Effy will say.
Finally, she stands. "I'm Effy and I think my mum's having an affair."
Different. Why would she share that? She must like shocking people. Then Freddie stands up and starts an attempt at Effy. It's so obvious with the way he looks at her while he's talking. She could do so much better than him. I don't even know why he's trying.
"Kieran, I'm feeling rather shit. I think maybe I need to go to the nurse's office."Effy spoke then takes off. She just leaves me in that class now alone. It's like she doesn't understand the rules. I glance at her now empty desk to see a piece of paper sitting on it with the boxes ticked off. Sex?Drugs? What is this. Then Cook makes an excuse to leave the room. Oh, no. Surely not with cook. He's such a tosser. I start feeling sick to my stomach myself now.
A/N Hi everyone! I wrote this ages ago because I always felt that Katie and Effy had such an interesting relationship. I just was thinking about it today and figured I should post it. It's fun to give Katie some thinking behind her actions. Hope you all are well!
