"End of year ball..." Emily read aloud from the school notice board. Today was exam day, and some how, Katie had managed to persuade her twin to take an exam for her, seeing as, apparently she was physically unable to come into school. 'Bloody drama queen.' Emily thought to herself. As soon as Freddie dumped Katie, rumours started spreading like wildfire. All the mini 'wannabe's' at the school jumped at the chance to gossip about one of their rivals. Katie had been moping around the house for days feeling sorry for herself, being extra bitchy than usual.
"Great! I love balls!" JJ said enthusiastically, Emily turned round and burst out laughing,
"Oh no...i..no..i didn't mean..." Emily gave JJ a smile letting him know that he didn't have to explain himself. JJ grinned and looked at Emily gratefully.
"How's it going with Cook and Freddie?" Emily asked.
"Well they're still mad at each other, but they're t...talking at least." Emily nodded,
"That's good." She said,
"W...what about Katie?" JJ asked, Emily rolled her eyes and sighed,
"She's acting like it's the end of her life, she won't even leave the house. Hence, why i look like a fucking prostitute." Emily said, gesturing to her outfit.
"Yes, you..you do a bit."
Emily giggled and shook her head,
"Bye JJ."

Naomi stubbed out her cigarette on the cement step and walked back into the school building. She hadn't seen Emily for a few days, things still weren't sorted out between them, far from it. It wasn't as if they weren't on good terms but they hadn't really spoken about the night on Emily's doorstep, they kind of had a silent understanding that neither would talk until Naomi was ready. And she wasn't ready just yet. She had to come to terms with what it all meant to her. It was all too confusing. But still; it didn't stop Naomi from thinking about her. She'd given up trying to block out how much she wanted her; She just, didn't know why yet.
Naomi pushed open the heavy door to the corridor; her face lit up when she spotted a red head up the other end of the hallway. At first she thought it was Katie, wearing that ridiculous leopard print jacket of hers, but then the twin glanced round at her. The corners of Naomi's mouth turned up as she approached Emily, the girls face like a deer caught in the headlights, 'god she's so cute' Naomi thought to herself.
Emily was unsure of what to do. What to say. All she could do was stare at the Blonde girl, confidently walking towards her.
"Katie made me..." Naomi cut Emily off, pressing her lips together with hers. Emily's knees suddenly felt weak as she felt Naomi's tongue enter her mouth. Naomi pinned her to the locker kissing her hungrily, she moaned softly as she felt Emily's hands wrap her hand around her waist. They both unwillingly broke this kiss, knowing full well that if they didn't, they wouldn't have been able to stop themselves from having sex right in the middle of the school corridor. They both caught their breath as their foreheads rested against the others, each face mirrored with the same faint smiles.
Naomi lightly tugged at the corner of Emily's jacket playfully,
"You look.."
"Like a hooker? i know." Naomi raised her eyebrows,
"I was going to say...different, but..." She let out a small laugh.
They both stared into one another's eyes; rich, chocolate brown meeting deep, crystal blue. Emily looked down at the floor, slightly embarrassed by the intensity of it all. Naomi bit her bottom lip and smiled. Her gaze shifted over Emily's shoulder to a poster on one of the lockers,
"End of year ball?" She read,
"Yeah, i heard about that..." Emily stated, "I was, thinking...we could....go together..." she said, hesitantly, but hopefully.
"Your kidding?!? I'm not going to a bloody school prom!" Naomi replied chuckling, she looked at Emily, who's smile fell. Naomi's face softened, feeling guilty.
'I'm sorry Em's i ...i didn't mean," She tucked a small piece of unruly red hair in Emily's face behind her ear and left her hand to rest there, "It's really not my thing, i don't do proms." She joked trying to get a smile from Emily.
"Yeah i get it...it's OK." Emily said, trying to sound as if she didn't care. But Naomi could see the disappointment in her face. The bell rang and Emily looked at her watch,
"I've got to go take this exam...see you later." She said and gave Naomi a little grin. Naomi watched Emily disappear into one of the classrooms. Naomi bit her lip and sighed, she turned back to the locker, took down the poster and placed it in her bag.
