Believe me the quality of my writing will get better over time!
First story i've done because i've had it for ages and kind of got bored.
Enjoy!
Sometimes I wonder how it all started... one minute she was just a random girl in my year 10 maths class , then suddenly she was the love of my life.
I haven't even spoken to her once, for fucks sake.
Nobody even knows I'm gay well except for the exception of JJ plus I don't even know if I'm gay; he's really sweet and we're kind of close friends and besides a girl can't hold a secret like this to herself forever. Katie definitely wouldn't understand any of this if she knew.
The fact that I knew she was going to roundview for college made me secretly press Katie into applying there, I just told her that there would be loads of 'fit boys' there ignoring the real reason that I couldn't stand the fact I wouldn't see Naomi again.

It's Thursday and here I am sat in politics, I have no idea what's going on and I don't even think Kieran does either, he's my twat of a teacher who definitely doesn't want to be here, let alone teach. Politics really doesn't interest me at all, I'm only here because I finished my coursework in every other lesson and 'have to take up new classes'.
It was even more of a surprise to find out that Naomi was in my class and seems to be answering every single question that Kieran is throwing around. It just makes me wonder that I actually have no idea what interests Naomi. I know nothing about her.
"EMILY!" Suddenly I'm thrown out of my daydream by Kieran with most of the class staring at me
"Oh sorry..." I'm definitely blushing "I just got distracted" I apologise.
"Well maybe a question would snap you out of it?"... Oh no.
"What's the difference between a democrat and a republican?"
Oh fuck.
I look around the room doing the 'hopefully if I look like I'm trying to think he'll let me off' look... but then I catch her eye, she's looking at me... like she's expecting something... of course just my fucking answer I tell myself.
"Erm... sorry, I don't know" I hesitate saying each word slowly when suddenly the room erupts with loud laughter's. Seriously a girl doesn't know one damn answer and everyone finds it fucking hilarious.
I'm now definitely positive I'm blushing,
I need to start paying more attention to what the lessons actually about rather than the back of Naomi's head
There was one person of course not laughing... she looked more disappointed than anything.
"Of course you don't know! You spend half your time gazing into nowhere"
He almost sounded like a teacher for a moment
"Classes are over, you can all piss off now" OK. Kieran's back.
Naomi doesn't have many friends... actually she has none at all. I wonder if she gets lonely but if she does she definitely doesn't show it.
Sometimes just talking to JJ about Naomi can get annoying,
I try to bring up Naomi when I'm talking to Katie, but her usual response is just "uurgh I hate the dyke! Looking down on me in psychology... the fashion disaster has no right!"
so it never goes too well with her

Everyone exits the class but I'm still in here, I swear my bag gets stuck to anything and everyone in its way and it's currently jammed under the table, while I try to get it out I notice that I'm not alone Naomi is at the front of the class speaking to Kieran, most likely about her coursework, not that it's never perfectly done.
"FUCK YEAH!" my bag comes free from under the table and I obviously don't notice how loud I actually shouted that. I looked up and see two pairs of eyes looking at me, both slightly confused.
"Nice to see your cursing abilities Emily... maybe you could apply that in politics hey?" Kieran says sarcastically, and Naomi just looks at me with a smirk. I hope she knows who I am, what am I kidding of course she doesn't... probably due down to the fact that I never talk and if she's an inch by me my throat instantaneously closes up.
"Ha... yeah" I stutter both pairs of eyes still on me...
"Well anyway I better go-.." I get so close to the door.
"No actually Emily wait a moment" Kieran's motions me to his desk "me and Naomi were talking..." jeeze I actually cannot move, I know when he says 'me and Naomi' it's definitely just him talking to her.
I'm stood probably less than 30 centimetres away from the girl I daydream about constantly and now Kieran wants to talk politics... How great.
"And we both agreed that you could do with someone to help you... you know, sit by in class, help with essays?" I nod because that the only thing I can seem to do right now
"And I've asked Naomi and she'd be pleased to let you sit by her"
OMG.
"Err... if it's ok with her I don't mind like..." from the corner of my eye I can see a slight smile from her.
"Yeah why not, besides... I think you're the only person in this class who can actually spell their own name and of course politics is one of my strong points so... I'll help" she says... almost proud of herself
Ok that might be a compliment... and I might just have the cheesiest grin on my face... but does this also mean that she's noticed me?
Me Emily Fitch noticed by Naomi Campbell?! ok too Far., she's just a girl. Yeah right.
"Oh Naomi it definitely is eye!" Kieran responds, I actually think he's just happy he's got through to one brain out of the whole college
"So since you have your mock exam Monday... I say you too head up to the school library now"
And with that... He walks towards the door "cya tomorrow girls"
Leaving me and Naomi in the silent classroom.
