I was sat on my windowsill watching the rain pour down outside just like it did every other day. I was sick of the rain and I hated it even more when it rained at the time of study leave which was the only time I'd really considered me to be free. I had finally finished the main part of high school and was now just waiting for all of my exams to be over so that I could properly start relaxing and I actually had to do what the break meant us to do, study.
I had managed to pack my sister off for a few days with one of our friends seeing as though they needed to work on their performance project. I didn't see why she had to practice, she was dramatic enough, I'm sure she'll get the top grade in the country with what she's like. With her being away, I finally had the room to myself, I had cleaned it in the past few hours so that I could feel a bit more relaxed and was now sat against the window staring in to the open world.

Nothing much happened in Bristol, well nothing interesting unless you talk about the student parties which were crazy and could be quite scary when you think about what have happened at previous ones. I've been to a few, I was dragged by my twin sister though and I can safely say that I did not enjoy it. The party scene was a bit too full on for me.

I sat staring at the rain thinking of how much it was wrecking my day. The weather made me depressed as it was cold and bleak. I was shocked to see that someone was out in this weather and even more shocked to see that they were wearing a skirt and no jacket. The girl was running and slipped on to the floor. I looked at her and waited for her to get up but instead she just sat on the floor clearly in pain and holding her ankle. I got up from the place next to the window and picked up my jacket, an umbrella and a spare jacket. I opened the door and put the umbrella up and walked over to her. I stood over her and covered her with the umbrella.
She looked up in confusion, probably as to why there was rain falling around her but not on her and she jumped at the sight of me. I don't blame her, I would jump too if some random person was just stood over you.

"Are you okay?" I asked her, mentally kicking myself in the head for asking such a question.

"Does it look like I'm okay?" She bit back. Very nice response to someone keeping you a bit drier.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to say that. Instinct you know." She said quietly. I crouched down next to her and made sure that she was still covered by the umbrella. I took the spare jacket that I had from over my shoulder and gave it to her so that she could wrap it around herself. She smiled at me and I helped her to get up.

"So where do you live? I'll walk you home seeing as though you'll probably have some trouble" I said to her whilst looking at her leg which was causing her to limp.

"Its fine, I'll just get my mum to pick me up from that shop down at the end of the street." She replied.

"I'll walk you there then" I said back to her, helping her to walk to the end of the street where she then leant against the wall and rang her mother. When she had put the phone down, she smiled at me again and put her phone in the pocket in my jacket so that it would not get anymore wet. We stood awkwardly under my umbrella for around ten minutes, not saying a word to each other. I had a feeling in my stomach that I was going to remember this day for this rest of my life. A car horn beeped and I saw that there was a woman who looked exactly like the girl I was stood next to but older. I figured that this was her mother and helped her to walk over to the car. Before she opened the door, she turned back around.

"You should probably have your jacket back now" She said.

"It's fine, you'll be cold on the way home. I'm sure we'll see each other again sometime"

"If you're sure. Thanks... what's your name?"

"Emily" I said to her whilst laughing.

"Naomi" She replied before getting in to the car and waving to me as her mother drove the car away.

I stood under my umbrella for a number of minutes thinking about the girl I just met, thinking how beautiful she was. Her name was Naomi and I had fallen in some form of quick lust. I walked back home slowly and went back to my room except this time, I went to plan out my English exam work as I had perfect inspiration.

I pulled my tie up to my collar and adjusted it so that it looked neat and pulled my black cardigan over my school shirt and picked up my bag. My sister had yelled of me five minutes earlier which was a sign that we needed to go quickly. I looked at the time and realised that we had 45 minutes in which to get to school, but then I reminded myself that we were getting the bus this morning due to Katie wanting to see her latest boyfriend. I rolled my eyes at the thought of being ignored on the entire bus journey there so I made sure that my iPod was in the pocket in my bag. I ran down the stairs and out of the door where she was waiting at the end of the pavement.

"How the fuck does it take you so long? All you do is put on a uniform and tie your hair back. God, you don't even wear any make up. Come on, we're going to be late and I don't want to miss Freddie!" She screeched at me and I cringed as her voice went through me. There was nothing more than that voice that I hated in the entire world. Seriously, there wasn't.

"See? Just on time for the bus, only just!" She carried on. I rolled my eyes once again as she dragged us past everyone else that was waiting to get on the bus. I heard them all moan, complain and bitch at her but she didn't care as she chucked two pound coins into the hand of the driver and dragged me to the upstairs deck of the bus and to the back where the rest of our friends were sitting.

Effy was sat in the corner and staring out of the window. Effy liked to do this a lot, she liked to look at her surroundings and understand everything in the scene that was shown before her eyes. She was amazing at seeing things and understanding them although at times it was really scary. When I first met her, I was terrified of her because she came up to me and looked at me and called me a doormat. She then went on to wink at me and tell me that my secret was safe with her. She was crazy, crazy and scary. She looked up at me and nodded her head at me before looking at the blonde haired girl next to her who was Pandora. We all loved Pandora to bits but she was a hyper girl who just never stopped talking. She was so full of energy and she had to do nightly exercises with her mum to calm her down at night. See what I mean? Mental.
Panda didn't really fit in with us at all unless you count in the way that we're outcasts really, but she was a bit slow if I state that nicely. She was very different from the rest of us; she was innocent unlike the rest of us. She'd never done drugs in her life, didn't like to lie to her mum, never had sex with a boy or let alone kissed one as her mum didn't like it and she hadn't drank until the age of sixteen. I met her when I met Effy and I assumed that they had known each other for a long time and to this very day, Effy is still the only person that can really understand anything that Panda is talking about.

Cook was sat across from Effy and was openly staring at her tits just like he always did. Cook was the man whore out of us and claimed to have slept with three quarters of our school year group, which is something that didn't surprise me at all. I should rephrase that really, he claims to have slept with three quarters of the female section of the year group. Cook only liked the women, he said that gay men were wrong and that they weren't true men although I always thought that he was secretly having it off with Freddie and to this day, I could still believe it if they told me it was happening. Next to Cook was the curly haired JJ, who was my best friend out of the entire group really. He seemed to understand me more than anyone else did. JJ had curly hair, braces and had Asperger's Syndrome which made him a victim of school bullies and which also made him very clever. I've always loved that he's clever and I'm the first one to help him when he gets scared or locked on which has been happening a lot more recently.

Freddie was sat in the other corner of the bus yelling something across to Cook and most probably saving the seat next to him for Katie and the one across for me. Why he assumed that I'd want to sit across from my sister making out with another one of my friends, I don't know. Freddie was a nice guy; he was tanned and had longer hair than the rest of the boys. I never really understood why he got on the bus when he could skateboard to school for free but then again, I guess he couldn't put his skateboard in his locker so it does kind of make sense.
Freddie is the stoner guy and also is the guy responsible for us all getting high as we all hang out in his shed and have miniature parties and such.

My sister ran to sit next to him and immediately starting eating his face, it wasn't a pretty thing to watch your twin get off with someone else because it just looks like you're doing it. I should mention that I and Katie are identical twins, she hated not being the same for some reason, and she even dyed her hair red so it would match mine. Bitch. She's the dominant one and she's always telling me what to do, she's also the favourite twin when it comes to my parents. When it comes down to me and her, everyone wants her and I haven't got a shot in life.
I sat down but looked across to where JJ and Effy and their little group were sat and immediately got in to conversation.

"As if we're only back for the exams now, we're nearly done" I said quietly.

"Yes, fucking finally" Cook replied, punching his fist in the air whilst Effy looked at him and raised her eyebrow.

"I know, it's whizzer isn't Emily, we can finish and then go to college! It'll be amazing!" Panda said excitedly.

"Calm down Panda, we've got the summer to get through yet and some fun to have their" Effy quietly spoke.

"Damn right Effs, got to get some major supplying ready for the summer. This summer has real potential" Cook spoke.

The rest of the bus journey was filled with useless chat and JJ asking us all random questions based on the exams that we were taking that morning and afternoon. If I was honest, I didn't really care about the questions that he was asking us, my head was too busy thinking of the blonde girl that I had ran in to, it was too busy thinking of Naomi. I was disappointed that I hadn't seen her for the rest of the summer. I had looked out for her whenever I went out but then when I think about it, if she too was on study leave then maybe the injury to her leg and ankle wouldn't have really allowed her to get out and around. By the time that I had finished thinking about her, I noticed all of the friends picking their bags up and I felt the bus stop. I picked up my bag and stood up and walked down the busy bus and got off the bus and waited for the rest of them to get off.

I liked being off buses quickly, as I couldn't stand the queues to get off, they made me feel sick and on an exam date like this, I didn't really want to be sick and then feel crap all of the way through my exam. I watched everyone else come off the bus and then watched my friends come off and several of them lit up cigarettes. Cook even went the extra mile and lit up a joint and then offered it around.

"No thanks man, I'm not touching that shit before an exam" Freddie said coolly. I found him saying this rather strange as Freddie was never one to turn down a spliff; it was a strange day already. Everyone else turned it down and Cook called us all Pussies but in reality, none of us really wanted to fail and Cook didn't really care much. It actually surprised me how Cook had even turned up to school to take them. They quickly finished up whatever they were smoking and Cook sprayed lots of deodorant over him so that the smell wouldn't be as strong because we all knew that he couldn't be bothered with another run in with the headmaster.

We all stood outside of the exam hall and made small talk and talked about what the plans were for that night even though we already knew that we were simply going to go to the park and just drink on there instead of going to all the effort to get dressed up and go to the pub as we were probably going to be really tired after the exams today. The headmaster came to open the doors for us and we all took our seats, and I noticed just how nervous I was. We all looked at each other from our places in the room and then quickly looked back to our desks. As I was turning my head back from looking over at Cook, my paper was placed on to the table so I had to move my head because the woman was blocking my view and it was then that I noticed peroxide blonde hair.

It wasn't possible that Naomi came to this school was it? If it was, why hadn't I noticed her before in school or outside the hall just then. It was safe to say that I knew that all the way through this exam I'd be staring at her hair and not really focusing on the exam that was right in front of me. If that really was her, then it would be a miracle if I really passed any GCSE's.
