A/N: A friend advised me to watch the US version of Skins and as I watched I thought "why not Tea and Michelle?" So here's what stemmed from that. It's the first time I've tried anything with Skins or these characters so I hope I don't mess up too bad.

Thoughts are in italics.

Disclaimer: I don't own Skins. If I did, Michelle would dump Tony and hook up with Tea. Oh and the lyrics in the summary belong to Band of Horses - "The Funeral".

Tea woke up to the sound of her brother screaming at her door. She had got in late after another night getting blasted, thanks Chris, and her head was telling her that she had drank way too much…again. She smacked her lips together, hating the dry, sticky taste and deciding to rinse her mouth out before heading down for breakfast with her family. Her phone vibrated on her nightstand.

Going out again tonight, you in? – Chris

Tea rolled her eyes, wincing at the pain the action caused her.

Yeah, give me the details at school – Tea

Yes! We're getting shit-faced tonight! – Chris

Don't we always? Tea texted the appropriate response and left her phone on her bed.

Seeing no one in the bathroom, she washed her face and rinsed out her mouth. Her reflection stared back at her when she raised her head. I look like shit. Her eyes looked back at her, telling her that she still felt something…missing. All the alcohol, drugs, girls, nothing was helping. She still felt like she was going through the motions and no one would stop her world from spinning. Tea grimaced before heading out again to her room. A flash of light indicated a missed call on her phone.

Tony. She was tired of telling him no. he didn't understand that she liked girls and he had a dick. No matter how compatible he thought they were, he was still a guy and Tea didn't do guys. Maybe they matched on an intellectual level but the bottom line was that Tea liked girls. Not to mention the fact that he was with Michelle. Thinking of Michelle made Tea's head begin pounding again. Neither of them had told Michelle what had happened on her blind date with "some guy". She still wasn't sure if she would tell her, knowing how Michelle would be with the both of them. She's my friend and I screwed her over, maybe there is something wrong with me.

"Tea! You're going to be late for school if you don't come and eat now."

"Coming Dad!"

Tea deleted Tony's call. She'd deal with him at school or not at all. Right now she was hungry and needed to eat before heading off for school. Maybe Tony would get the hint and stop calling. Or maybe not, it's Tony after all. Tony wasn't happy until he got whatever he wanted, whether it made him a bad person or not, it didn't matter as long as he won.

Tea walked out of her bedroom and down to where her family had begun eating breakfast. They talked over each other, as usual, while Nana carried out her one-sided conversations. Tea watched her for a little, now seeing her grandmother in a way she had never tried to before. She shook her head and ate her breakfast as quickly as she could. Once she was done she placed her dish by the sink and headed off to pick up her bag where she had left it by the stairs.

"Do you need me to pick you up today?" Her dad asked as she walked by him.

"No. I have practice so I'll just get the bus back when I'm done."

"Okay. Thanks again for the other night," he stated, lowering his voice so his wife wouldn't hear their conversation.

"It wasn't a bid deal Dad," Tea answered lowering her head to kiss her Dad on the cheek. "See you tonight."

"Be good!" Her mother shouted after her as she opened the front door. Tea rolled her eyes before replying that she would be.

Daisy was already waiting outside for them to catch the bus together. Tea smiled a little, glad for the distraction her friend could give her right now. As long as they talked about last night's party she'd be fine.

"You look rough," Daisy greeted her stoically.

"Yeah well it was a long night." Tea replied.

"You get any?"

"Nope. All the girls there seemed kind of…dumb."

"That's never stopped you before."

Tea chuckled, "No it hasn't but I didn't feel the need to try last night to get past their inane babbling."

"Sure Tay. Ready?"

"Yup." Tea threw an arm over Daisy's shoulder and they proceeded to walk down the street to the bus stop. She was glad that all Daisy wanted to talk about was last night. It kept her thought process clear and simple. Let's just get through today Tea.

So do I suck?
