Skins

Chapter one

Fuck me! I know that blonde chick!

"That's all of it." Naomi said as she dumped her luggage down.

"We bought so many souvenirs for everyone." Emily said with an innocent smile, the one that made Naomi's heart skip a beat.

"Thanks for letting us crash here Panda." Naomi said.

"Oh that's fine." Pandora shrugged like it was no big deal. "The mansion that I inherited from Nanny Get's lonely when you're on your own. Now with the three of us it will be so much fun! We can watch movies on Friday, get wrecked on Saturday, recover on Sunday! Can't wait!"

Naomi cringed.

"I'll show you your rooms!" Pandora said, skipping up the stairs.

The doorbell rang.

"Oh who could that be? I don't usually get visitors. Unless it's Thomas wanting a fuck."

"Actually I think it's for me." Naomi said, opening the door.

"Oh wow getting visitors already? This is fun." Pandora said.

There he was, outback jack the best dealer in Bristol.

"You got my pills?" Naomi asked.

"You got my money?" Jack asked.

They exchanged and he left. Just like that.

"What was that about?" Emily asked as Naomi closed the door.

"Oh just picking up for tonight."

"That was quick. First thing you do when you get back from holiday in Italy is buy drugs? Were you that desperate Naomi?"

"It's no big deal." She shrugged it off. "You're overreacting."

"Where did you meet someone with a name like 'Outback Jack' anyway?"

"When you were punishing me." Naomi hated when this had to be brought up, the whole fucking the dead girl thing was so old. She just wished she could erase it from her mind. "I did some really fucked up things that I'm not proud off. But it happened."

"Naomi if you're not proud of it then why are you still doing it? Severe your ties with those kind of people. Please." Emily smiled her smile again, and Naomi's heart warmed.

"Ok. I'm sorry Emily."

She said that too much these days.

"Who's our next target boss?" Cook said as he strolled into the office.

"Ah my man Cook!" Ryan slapped Cook on the back. "You're looking cheery."

"I'm always cheery." Cook sat at his desk resting his hands behind his head and putting his feet on the desk.

Ryan was also a new detective, he was tall, skinny almost lanky with blonde hair and a pretty face cougars would go crazy for. He could imagine having a good night out with Ryan. He'd give him a run for his money if they played how many girls they could get in one night.

"We've finally found Jack." Ryan said.

"Oh Jack as in my old mate outback jack?" Cook asked. Sitting a little straighter, now this sounds interesting. Seeing old friends reminded Cook how much his life has improved.

"Here we got a picture of him dealing to some blonde chick." Ryan handed him a picture.

Cook bolted upright when he saw the 'blonde chick'.

"Fuck me! I know that blonde chick; she's an old mate of mine." Cook stared at Naomi is disbelief. "Shit, didn't think she was that hardcore man."

"Well thanks to our eavesdropping system looks like your mate wants to pick up some more tomorrow, she's been texting him. We're gonna bust him then and catch him red handed."

"Shit. What's gonna happen to her?"

Ryan sucked in air.

"This will go on her record permanently. Every boss she's gonna have will see it."

"Shit that's bad. She's a good girl mate; can't I tell her not to go?"

"No cops have to see him physically dealing."

Freddie had helped Effy bring all her bags up the stairs to the halls of Bristol University. Mum and her boyfriend came along too.

Her roommate was Panda, but they were also with two other girls, Dru and Hannah. They seemed normal enough. Dru was doing some music course, she wore a grey hoody and white track suit bottoms. She had thick curly brown hair and always wore a grey cap, her features were somewhat plain. Hannah was pretty quiet, she was stunning though. Lovely orange fake tan with long black hair, big arse, flat stomach and huge tits. Just zero personality. So far.

Roger, her mum's boyfriend had been nothing but a pain. Just complaining, Effy wondered why he even agreed to help her move in the halls. Her mum Jocelyn had just been worrying about when Effy would call next and when her classes were. Just because Tony disappeared doesn't mean she will too.

The halls were packed with freshmen's. Effy held Freddie's big hands as they pushed through the crowd.

"Elizabeth, Freddie wait!" Roger called out.

"What does that wanker want now?" Effy muttered.

"Don't worry they'll be gone soon and we will be alone." Freddie whispered in her ear, his cool breath tickled her skin.

Effy's smile was slapped off her face. Roger was down on one knee. In the middle of the corridor with everyone around. He was holding Jocelyn's hand. People were turning to look.

"Jocelyn will you marry me?" Roger said.

So that's the reason he came.

"Oh for fuck sake." Effy muttered.
