Chapter one – Tequila Slammer's.
'Alright motherfuckers. Who's up for a little tequila tequila Cookie Monster Style?'
The loud, aggressive, egotistical teen shouted from the fallen tree log.
Emily Fitch watched as the group cheered and held out their plastic cups for another shot of the magical liquid that made you lose all inhibitions. Cook was really in the mood for a party tonight it seemed, and the rest of the gang, or 'The Monster Massive', as he liked to call them, were all too eager to follow his lead. Emily wasn't really in the mood though. She hadn't been all week.
She hadn't spoken to the breathtakingly beautiful girl who sat opposite her, carefully avoiding all contact, since the night the blonde decided to get up and walk away from her front door, with Emily's hand still dangling aimlessly through the cat flap. They hadn't spoken to each other since. The hot and cold trip was starting to wear thin and Emily was sick of being treated like a walkover. Her sister, her pervy brother, her friends and mostly she felt, Naomi, saw her as a shadow, a hanger-on, just someone who could be placed into a box and put aside whenever they didn't feel like putting an effort into spending time with her.
She sighed as Naomi looked her way, briefly locking eyes before swiftly turning her attention towards Cook passing the freshly rolled spliff. Emily wanted to tear her eyes away, but she was enthralled by the way Naomi pressed the joint between her lips, inhaling deeply before releasing the smoke.
Emily longed to take the place of that god-damn spliff. She wanted to be the one between Naomi's lips, being inhaled, making her way through the other girl's body and just becoming a part of her. She hadn't been able to get the memories of that day at the lake out of her head. The night Naomi took her virginity along with her heart. She had torn it out, stomped on it and gave it right back. Leaving Emily no choice but to try to put back the broken pieces and make it beat again, like it did that day. The best day of her 17 year old life. This was going to be a long night. This was going to be a long life.
Cook had suggested an all-nighter. A camping trip of sorts, but minus the tents. 'Tents are for pussies' he'd said earlier. 'There ain't gonna be no need for sleep when the Monster Massive are on a trip. In more ways than one', he had said, pulling a baggie out with little white pills.
Well he'd delivered on that Emily had to admit. Booze, weed and pills. Curtisey of Uncle Keith had gotten the dysfunctional gang well and truly on their way. It wasn't even 10 o'clock yet, and the group sat around the fire JJ and Cook had started and were having a 'fantastic' old time. Emily wouldn't consider them friends really, just a fucked-up group of people who had a few things in common. Mainly partying and shagging. The whole crew were there though. Effy, Pandora, Thomas, Katie, Naomi, Freddie, JJ and Cook. JJ was showing off his latest stupid magic trick to Katie, who was actually paying him some attention without her dickhead of a boyfriend around. She'd finally given him the boot and Emily was glad. Her sister never payed any attention to her when he was around.
Shaking her head, Emily glanced again at Naomi. She was laughing at something Cook whispered in her ear as he sat with his arm draped over Effy Stonem's shoulder. The magnificent doe-eyed beauty looked totally disinterested in Cook's little joke yet Naomi who claimed to hate the arrogant little prick was laughing up a storm.
A lump formed in the throat of Emily, jealous apprehension of what on earth had changed so drastically between Cook and Naomi that made them fucking BFF's. Last week he humiliated her during the school elections, and now they were talking in secret codes, probably laughing at the 'gay twin' and her stupid school-girl crush. "Fuck them", she thought. "Fuck them".
"I agree."
