My 1st attempt at writing a fan fic, so I hope I do well. I've had his in my head for a while so I decided to give it a go, so I hope you enjoy it!

This story is loosely based on a film called Say Anything and if you haven't seen it then I highly recommend you do. It's absolutely a classic.

Disclaimer: I don't own Skins but you probably already knew that. Enjoy.

Say Anything

Naomi's POV

Today was the last day of it all. The last day of college, No more Roundview, no more assemblies at the beginning of every year, no more Harriet threatening to remove our bollocks if we got caught smoking spliff again on college green, no more Doug teaching us to be inclusive. No more Keiran telling us how much he hates fucking teaching, and I couldn't be more relieved. But at the same time I'm a little sad, because that means I won't get to see her anymore, Emily Fitch. My mates could tell I needed a little cheering up so we gathered in Freddie's shed to share a spliff.

"How come I don't feel nothing? I mean innit a special day for us or something" asked Cook with a confused expression on his face.

"Come on now its graduation day," sighed Freddie.

"I mean look at all those tossers out there. I mean did you see what Harriet wrote in my yearbook? She takes the piss with me all year long, then she fucking signs my yearbook with 'You'll go on to do great things, keep swimming in the pool of life and splash about, Love Harriet.' What the fuck is that," Cook replied as he took a puff of the spliff.

Freddie had a huge grin on his face as he took the spliff from Cook, "I'm sure Harriet just wanted to end the year on a high note, try not to read into it too much."

Cook scoffed, "Well where and when Harriet uses the word love, I'll look for a new word. Fuck love, its bollocks."

Freddie shook his head exasperatedly, "How can you say that? Naomi he's being a wanker again. Help your mate out."

"I'm going to take out Emily Fitch again," the words just popped right out of my mouth with no thought.

Cook Grinned, "Are you serious, seems highly unlikely Blondie."

"I think the cinema would be a good second date, don't you think," I asked hopefully.

"When did you even have a first date? Come on now Blondie you gotta fill in the Cookie Monster!"

'Yes we did have a first date; it…it was at the mall. I sat across from her and we ate in the mall. We ate together. Two people together eating…we ate…we shared a very important part of one's day together. It was a rather important physical event," I tried to rationalize to Cook and Freddie, but maybe more to myself.

"I'm sorry to tell ya Blondie but that does not sound like a date. It kind of just sounds like two people eating in a mall at the same place, same time. She didn't know you were there."

Freddie just shrugged his shoulders, "Afraid so Naomi, definitely not a date, maybe just a bit of lusting. A date is an arrangement where two people get together and both parties are aware of said date, and you both get to know each other with the possibility of love. That's a date."

I just shook my head at both of them, "I'm going to ring her. That's what I'm going to do. I am going to ring her. That sounds good to me. I will call her and she won't mind because that's what makes Emily cool."

Cook then looked at me concerned as he tried to tell me for the hundredth time, "Listen Naoms, Emily Fitch does not go out with girls like you. She is clever, so she sticks with other brains like her. She's a genius stuck in the body of a model."

I scoffed at the notion that they would think Emily Fitch is that judgmental. Don't get me wrong she was clever, top of the class at old Roundview College, she always received top marks in everything. Emily was class president, valedictorian, she was involved in volunteer work, and she also took a few uni courses to get a jump on the future. She was also breathtakingly beautiful. She had bright cherry red hair with her fringe hanging in her eyes, and she was very short but had amazing long legs somehow with striking big chocolate brown eyes. When you would look into those eyes it was like she could read your soul.

I must have just been caught day dreaming because Cook and Freddie have both stopped talking and are staring at me, "What?!"

Freddie showed me his famous sympathetic smile and passed me the spliff, "Listen Naomi, I wouldn't get my hopes up. Me and Cook here are just looking out for you, yeah? You're our best mate and we don't want to see you get hurt."

I took a more than generous hit off the spliff and exhaled loudly, "But I want to get hurt!"

"Oh Naoms we love ya! Just try not to go all in on it yeah? Now put the spliff down and let's make this fucking graduation so we can end this shit as Freddie would say on a high note," Cook told us while putting on arm around my shoulders in a crushing side hug.

I found myself agreeing with Cook and started putting out the spliff in the ash tray. I just wanted to get to this ceremony and listen to the speech that Emily Fitch would be addressing to the class with. I can't wait to see those browns eyes and that red hair. I have to talk to her after the ceremony no matter what Cook or Freddie says. I just have to.

Emily's POV

I still can't believe it's the last day of college. I can't believe that all of these years of hard work will finally pay off. All the times I turned down social engagements to stay at home, turned down trips to the club to take trips to the library, declined taking drugs to take exams. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a prude. I repeat, I AM NOT A PRUDE. Sure sometimes I sit back at look at my peers and think I hardly know them because I was too busy planning my future rather than just living, being. I longed for the nights in the club dancing, at the pub having a drink, or going to some outrageous flat party, but every time I got sad about not going I just thought about my future and all of this hard work paying off. If I had to admit it I would say that I'm a bit regretful that I didn't get to experience that life but I can't think about it right now because at the moment I'm panicking over this bloody speech!

I sighed as I looked out the window of the moving car while my Dad was driving us to graduation, "Do you think they'll even understand what I'm talking about? Will they even care? And I'm never at college, so will they even know who I am?"

"Yes Ems they know who you are! How could they not know Katie Fitch's little sister, I mean we are identical and everyone knows who I am," Katie turned and said matter of factly.

Oh yes by the way I have an extremely annoying but loving identical twin, Katie. We might look similar but we are definitely not alike. She parties, I study. She likes boys while I like girls. I take life seriously while she lives in the moment, and I also am quiet while Katie can be very melodramatic at times. Yes, we are quite different but I think we balance each other out so it works I guess.

I rolled my eyes at Katie, "Oy, Katie is everything always about you? Can't you see that I'm nervous? I'm trying to make sure I don't make a complete arse of myself on that stage. I tried to put a joke in there to be funny, but what if they don't get it?"

My dad turned at smiled his warm big smile at me, "I'm sure Emsy love that it will be a great speech. I bet everything in there is top notch so don't worry love, ok? Why don't you read a few lines to me and Katie and see if that relaxes you."

I cringed at the thought of practicing in front of Katie but maybe it would help, "Alright, alright here it goes. 'Well the school year is almost over, no more college. We've all gone to school together the past two years some of us even longer, and while most of you might not know me as well as others I'm sure we all have the same thought in mind, and that thought is of our future. What will we do when it's done? Well I have taken a few university courses this year, and I glimpsed our future and all I can say is… go back.' Will anyone even get that joke?"

"Ha! Go back I love that line it's a good one love," my Dad praised me.

I heard Katie snicker in the front seat, "Yeah not bad Ems just don't make speech writing your career, yeah? Oh and I wouldn't try to be a standup comedienne either."

I sighed loudly, "Well thanks for the vote of fucking confidence. I'm just going to leave this bloody speech alone and how it goes is how it goes. Leave it alone Katie."

Katie turned back to me and held her arms up in surrender and sighed, "Alright Ems whatever you say just don't have a heart attack out there on stage. I love you Ems, you'll be great."

I could tell she felt bad and was trying to make me feel better. That's what I love about Katie Is that deep down inside she's soft and only I get to see that sometimes.

Dad circled the car park looking for a space close to the building. Any minute now I would be on stage in front of hundreds of people who don't even know me reciting a speech I was unsure of. God, could this day get any better?

Naomi's POV

It's an amazing site to see Cook, a bit stoned, has managed to hijack the microphone from Doug on stage and is now singing a special graduation song to us to end the year off right, or in his or Freddie's words a 'high note.'

"If you like to gamble I tell you I'm your man,

You win some, lose some, it's all the same to me,

Wah wah wah wah wah wah wah wah wah wah

The pleasure is to play, it makes no difference what you say,

Wah wah wah wah wah wah wah wah wah wah

I don't share your greed,

The only card I need,

Is the Ace of Spades, the Ace of Spades!"

Everyone in the audience was laughing and clapping their hands while he sang. I have to admit his voice sounded like a cat being thrown into a wood chipper, but it was highly entertaining.

As Cook finished the song a red faced Harriet comes stomping across the stage to take the microphone back but he wasn't quite finished.

"Whooooo yeah I love you guys! Party at Chris Miles' flat, it's going to be top notch so be there! Whooooo yeah!"

Harriet yanked the microphone out of his hand and pushed Cook back towards his seat, "Thank you James that was wonderful. Now I would like to get this ceremony properly started by introducing you to someone special. I can't just introduce this person without mentioning history, literature, biochemistry, art, I think you all know who I'm speaking of. For years to come we will definitely remember this student, Miss Emily Fitch giving a speech entitled 'Flying High.'"

Cook plopped down next to me and Freddie with his devious grin on his face looking at me and then at Emily.

"Nice one wanker. Are you trying to give Harriet a heart attack before officially graduating?" I asked trying not to sound too amused by his antics.

Cook then started to laugh harder, "Well Naomikins someone had to get this party started! And someone had to tell these tossers about Chris' party that you well know will be totally epic! He's thrown it every year for the past 3 years on graduation day so it's can't miss!"

Freddie shook his head at Cook, "Well I guess it is the last day of college so they really can't do too much to Cook, and I'm sure Harriet just wants you gone so it's not as big of a deal as it should be."

I laughed out loud at this statement, "Yeah Cook I'm sure the only reason you're graduating college is because Harriet wants to get rid of you!"

"Rubbish! You know Harriet loves the Cookie Monster! She could only hope to take a ride on the cock train!" He stood up and thrust his hips vigorously like he was actually shagging her. I shoved him down quickly before Harriet could notice.

I started to laugh even harder but then realized Emily was walking across the stage to begin her speech. She looked absolutely beautiful and I stopped mid laugh to tell these wankers next to me to shut up.

"Alright you tossers shut the fuck up so we can hear this speech then let them call our names so we can get to this party tonight!"

Both Freddie and Cook looked at me with faux hurt looks on their faces while clutching their hearts, "Oy Naoms we've never seen you so bossy, you alright?

I gave them my famous Campbell glare and proceeded to stare straight ahead at the stage to watch her deliver her speech.

"Thank you very much Harriet. Well the school year is almost over, no more college. We've all gone to school together the past two years some of us even longer, and while most of you might not know me as well as others I'm sure we all have the same thought in mind, and that thought is of our future. What will we do when it's done? Well I have taken a few university courses this year, and I glimpsed our future and all I can say is… go back."

Emily paused and waited for a response from the audience but everyone was dead silent except for a few people.

"Ha! Nice one," shouted a man in a loud Scottish voice.

"Look at those eyes they're beautiful," I said mesmerized to no one in particular.

Cook and Freddie looked at each other with amused smirks on their faces then shook their heads at me.

Emily continued on despite the silence from her previous attempt at humor, "As students here at Roundview College we've been through a lot. But with the training from college over with, what will happen to us? What will we do now or how will our future turn out? We all know the answers to the questions. Some of us will be happy, go to university, own a car, or maybe even raise a family. But what if that doesn't happen? I have to admit and be honest with all of you though, I have all the hopes and ambition in the world. But when I think about the future I have to admit that I'm really scared. All we can do is hope and dream for the best. Thank you all, and I wish everyone good luck on a bright and happy future."

When she finished we all stood up and gave her a standing ovation. I then decided after the ceremony I had to make a move.

They called out our names one by one and we proceeded to walk across the stage, shake hands, and collect diplomas. After the ceremony college green was packed with fellow students and parents hugging one another or taking pictures. Everyone was signing each other's yearbooks and making plans for the summer. It seemed like everyone in the college had a plan as to what they were going to do once it all ended, except for the three of us that is. Me, Cook, and Freddie had no clue what we wanted to do when we so called "grew up" but I guess we would all find out over the summer.

I walked over to where Freddie, Cook, Mr. McClair, and Karen, Freddie's sister, were standing taking pictures.

"Now Freddie do all of us and everyone that loves you a big favor yeah? Don't talk to or do anything with that bitch Effy Stonem. I don't think I can take you moping around the house in fucking sweat pants again, not to mention those god awful poems," Karen told Freddie exasperated.

"Fucking hell Dad she's doing it again. Shut it Karen you have no clue what's going on with me and Eff," Freddie said in a whiny tone.

I laughed at that whole situation. It was a fucked up relationship they had, even if you were to dare call it a relationship. See Freddie fell in love with Effy the moment he met her, with her mysterious blue eyes some have said are similar to mine and she has long wavy brown hair. She was what I would like to call crazy/beautiful because she was so beautiful that it literally drove boys mad not to mention maybe Effy herself. She was alright to party with and maybe take the occasional pill or smoke a spliff with, but she had a dark side. I don't know why she did it, never did maybe never will, but she liked to play games, like fucked up mind games. She could never stay tied down to one person, which meant a lot of heartbreak for poor Freddie. But he was gluten for punishment so to speak because he would always run to her when she called. Sometimes me and Cook could go days without seeing him if he was being loved up with her, but in a way we understood. He loved her and his heart couldn't stop loving her. He wanted to fix her.

"Karen be nice to your brother it's his special day. Just be careful son that's all I ask. We got to get on now but we'll see you at home later. Bye Cook, bye Naomi always nice to see you two," Mr. McClair said to us.

We posed for a few more pictures and said our goodbyes and started to walk across the green towards our usual smoking spot. That's when I spotted her with her family engrossed in conversation. I needed to take a picture with her. I was going to take a picture with her.

I poked Freddie on the shoulder and pointed over to Emily with family, "Hey Freds do me a favor and take a picture of me with her."

Freds looked at me with a sympathetic smile, "Naomi you've got to be joking?"

I still was persistent, "C'mon Freds please do me this favor. Not even for your best mate?"

"Oh my god this is embarrassing. But I guess for my best mate but hurry up and get on with it before I make Cook do it."

I nodded my head at Freddie at walked towards Emily walking up behind her. Just at that same moment I could see her Dad pointing at an orange moped outside, and while they were looking at it I stood next to her but a little bit behind her without her even knowing it. I gave Freds the thumbs up and he took the picture, and once the picture was snapped I quickly ran away before she was even aware of what happened.

Emily's POV

I still can't believe my dad got me a moped for a graduation gift! It's so awesome even though Katie thinks it's a death trap. Katie can't complain either at her gift which ended up being an all expenses paid 2 week trip for 4 to Paris to go on a shopping spree. In four months time I would be starting my future, igniting the path towards success and hopefully my dream. I found out shortly after the ceremony ended that the fellowship I had applied for I got. I would be able to study abroad for the next four years with my education being fully paid for. It was a big relief and an honor to have received it. My family was proud, and so was I.

Katie was sad that we would be apart because she always thought we'd either go to the same school or be close by if we didn't, but that changed once she realized all the places she could shop at in New York not to mention the fit blokes she would see when she visited me. Katie got accepted to the University of Westminster. How she did I have no clue but I know that one day I'll see her in some magazine being ranked as the top CEO's of England. She was quite business savvy for our age. People would be surprised about that, but I'm not because I know the real Katie.

I decided to go downstairs and thank my Dad for the gift when I heard my mobile ring. I almost just assumed it was Katie's phone ringing but I did a double take and realized it was me.

I answered, "Hello"

"Hello am I speaking with Emily Fitch," a girl on the other line asked nervously.

"Yes this is Emily Fitch. Who am I speaking to?"

"Well…umm this is Naomi from Roundview."

"And what do I owe this pleasure?"

"Yeah umm well umm I wanted to call you and say congratulations on receiving your fellowship. It's in the paper; umm…that's how I know about it. Congratulations you must be excited. "

I smiled into the phone, "Yeah I am very excited but you know nervous."

"Well you shouldn't be but I just wanted to say congratulations and also you gave an excellent speech today at graduation ceremony."

I smiled even bigger, "Thanks."

"Well whoa what a day ay?" she asked.

"Yeah what a day"

"I have a quick question for you is that alright?"

"Yeah shoot"

"Do you know who I am?" She nervously asked.

I tried my hardest to think back to where I know her from but I'm seriously lost. Then I remember her name's Naomi and that's not common at Roundview, so I'll just look her up in the yearbook. I quickly found her picture and noticed her name was Naomi Campbell. I almost laughed out loud but stopped abruptly once I realized how gorgeous she was. She had ice blue eyes and shoulder length blonde hair. She was breath taking and now I remember her.

"Yes I do you're Naomi Campbell, you're best mates with Freddie McClair and James Cook," I heard a sigh of relief on the line. I knew she was best mates with them because of Katie and Effy. I heard them speak about a Naomi but I never knew what she looked like.

"Yeah you got it. I was just checking because I-I don't want to creep you out and all."

"No it's alright no problem at all."

"Well since I'm not creeping you out or anything I uh…uh let's go out,"

"Oh really that's nice thanks, but everything's sort of hectic right now and I'm really busy," I don't want to lead anyone on because right now in my life everything's so chaotic, and I hardly have time to myself let alone another person. If anything I was doing her a favor by saying I was busy because I'll be gone before you know it.

"Well can I take you out Friday?" She sounded hopeful.

"Sorry I'm busy that day too," I replied.

"How about Saturday," Naomi started to sound like she wasn't going to let me off the hook with this.

"Sorry again I have to help my Dad out at his gym," I wasn't lying. I have a lot of stuff to do.

"Well what about tonight then? There's that awesome party at Chris Miles' flat," Naomi reasoned.

"Hmmm" well I wasn't busy tonight I actually had the whole night free. My Dad would have no problem with me going out, he would actually be grateful and happy to see me finally relaxing. I'm still not sure though.

"Listen Emily Fitch I can't allow you to leave to America for uni without having you experience a party that the great Chris Miles has thrown. You see this bloke is twenty one years old. I believe he's the best mate of Effy Stonem's brother, Tony, and he comes out of hiding once a year to throw this party. He and his mates dress up fancy and everything. It'll be great! He makes this drink called the purple passion," she was starting to sound more confident and funny. I have to admit I like a funny girl.

"Well it sounds fun but I'm not sure though I have a lot of things to do before going to America," I hung on to the last excuse I had left.

"Listen you're not in the states yet and you still have 4 months. Please come with me and I'll make sure you have a good time. Plus I've been to America many times and could give you some useful tips," she said in an amused tone.

"Alright, alright I'll go," I relented. I decided to give in and who knows I might have a good time, and she's not that bad on the eyes, not that would matter but it doesn't hurt.

"Pardon me?" Naomi was clearly shocked.

"I said I'll go."

"You will? Excellent, this is great. You will, really?" Naomi asked still sounding slightly shocked.

I didn't understand why she sounded so surprised so I said it again, "I'll go."

Naomi exhaled a sigh of relief and sounded a bit nervous, so much so that she sputtered out, "Alright then this is great. This is it. Tonight's going to be great. We're going out. It's a date. It's a social arrangement… whatever…erm…whatever…alright I'll pick you up at 9?"

"Yeah that sounds great see you at 9,"I replied.

"Alright yeah see you at 9,' and then she hung up.

I can't believe I'm going out on a date. Well is this a date? I think she called it a date. Should I call it a date? Now I'm nervous. I'll be going to a party with people I hardly know, and what if they don't like me? Now I have the next 4 hours to think about it. Great let me talk to Katie and get an outfit sorted. I ran downstairs to find Katie and saw her in the back garden. She was outside and she wasn't alone. I could see Effy with her coolly smoking a fag.

"What's up Ems," asked Katie as I came out into the garden.

"Hey Eff," I said to Effy and she just gave me a nod.

I turned to Katie and replied, "I got invited to a party tonight and unfortunately I need you to help me pick out a dress for it."

Katie looked surprised, "You got invited to a party? Did someone ask you out on a date Ems? Wait…did you get asked out to Chris' party tonight?"

Effy had a smirk on her face clearly enjoying Katie being the nosy twin she was. I tried not to give away that I had just probably been asked out on a date, but I couldn't help it as I started to blush.

"Okay, okay alright I was asked out to a party tonight and I need you to help me pick out a dress. I don't want to look like a twat out there," I spoke to Katie defensively.

"Sooooooo who is the lucky girl," Katie was still being nosy. She had a smirk on her face. It still surprised me sometimes how easy Katie accepted that I was gay. When I told her she said she always knew I liked fanny, she said I was a dead giveaway but she didn't care. She said if anyone gave me a hard time she would take care of it.

I gave in so maybe she would strop giving me a hard time and just help me, "Well its Naomi Campbell."

I saw her face scrunch up, "Campbell? You've got to be kidding me."

Effy smirked a little wider at me and had a glint in her eye as she said, "About time."

I had no idea what Effy was talking about, "What do you mean Eff, and Katie I'm not kidding you. What's wrong with Naomi, she looks harmless."

Katie retorted, "Harmless? Have you seen the way she dresses, that's hardly harmless with all that flannel and those jeans? Does she even wear a skirt or a dress? Plus all she does is hang out with James Cook and you know Freddie so all they do is smoke spliff and try to pull. You're smarter than her Ems why would you waste your time?"

I gave her a scowl and tried not to look a little concerned but maybe I was a little bit now, "Whatever Katie I don't know her but I guess I'll find out soon enough the party's only a few hours away, so help me pick out a dress. Oh and Effy you're not getting off the hook what did you mean?" I was a little annoyed and on top of that a little anxious.

She was amused, "Like you said you'll find out sooner or later."

I let out a long breath and said, "Whatever just help." I proceeded to go back inside and upstairs to my room. Me and Katie used to share a room for the longest time but a few years ago Dad gave us each our own rooms. It was nice to have my own space but sometimes when I was scared or worried at night I would come into Katie's room and get into bed with her and we would talk about everything.

I heard her and Effy coming up the stairs and she burst into my room, "Sorry yeah for giving you a hard time. I'll help you with this dress and don't worry Eff and I will be at the party too so if you have to escape you can find us, alright? So…what kind of look are you going for?"

I smiled and said, "Well I want to look sexy but classy."

Effy gave me a grin, "So in other words you want to make her jaw drop on the floor?"

"Exactly," I replied deviously.

"Right, I know just the thing," and with that Katie pulled out the classic little black designer dress and heels.

"Oh and we need to accessorize of course or else what's the point," before I could reply she was headed to the jewelry box in her room and came back with a few strings of white pearls and matching earrings.

She handed them to me and then Effy turned to both of us with a smirk on her face, "Now let's get ready for this party."

I was growing more nervous by the second. I had no idea what I would be in store for but Katie did have a point if she was horrible than I could bunk off with Effy and Katie. I guess time will tell.

So I hope you liked the story as much as I enjoy writing it.

Again this is my first go so give me a chance to win your hearts over!
