Disclamer&Notes:
Uhg, no matter how much I wish I did, I do not own, claim or take credit for Skins. Just admire, adore and obsess ^^ Like many of you, yes?
Respectful heads up, I'm rusty and this is my first skins fanfic. Not to mention my second fanfic full stop. So I'm still playing. I'll update as much as I can, loves. But I dunno how often that'll be considering I go back to college soon.
[Emily]
I couldn't help but stare at her from across the cafeteria. It's not like I was doing it intentionally. I was just a fucking deer caught in headlights wasn't I? Distracted by her, or captivated more like. I didn't ask to find her attractive, so it was hardly fare of anyone to think I was staring at her like some freaky perv. I was just interested is all. I mean, when you're posed with something like that, someone like her... what are you meant to do? How the fuck can you not be interested? Okay so maybe I was a fucking prat, sitting there playing with my food, fork in hand, mouth ajar and eyes refusing to move from her, but fuck me. It's hardly my fault she's fit. Or for a better word perfect.
"Oi, twat." Katies voice finally pulled me out of focus. Maybe I was looking for a little too long, or looking a little too hard. "What the fuck are you doing you mong." Cheerful isn't she, my sister I mean. I can always count on her to make me feel good about myself. "Looking at the lezzer, eh loser?" I always did like alliteration. "She's a fucking freak Emily. I don't know why you're so fascinated." I simply rolled my eyes. Not usually one to argue with Katie. I never saw the point. She'd always win or I'd always give in. I guess I had come to terms with the whole 'better twin' ordeal and settled for second place ever since.
"More like perving, babe." Uhg, Cook. Always has to have his say. I rolled my eyes once again and averted my gaze to the plate in front of me.
"What?" Good, now she could patronize Cook instead of me.
"You know, perving. Eye fucking." Cook talked through the food in his mouth. Disgusting. It was obvious Katie still didn't get it. "Checking her out, babe." I stabbed my food with my fork vigorously, refusing to get involved.
"Fuck off, my sisters not a lezzo." And the debate begins, "dick." Katie adds and I can't help but snigger. I love the way she casually insults people, yet still expects them to bow down to her every need and whim. And the fact she doesn't know her own twin at all.
Shit, I've run out of food. I need another distraction before I'm too tempted to look at her again. Anything will do.
"Oh whizzer! Look Eff, everyone's here already." Fuck, I never thought I'd see the day where I'm grateful to know Pandora.
She sits next to me. Fuck, don't laugh Emily, don't you dare fucking laugh. Christ she's got pen ink all up her face.
I might not be looking at her but she's still in my head, playing with my thoughts. Fucks sake Emily, she's not into you. Useless. No matter how many times I tell myself I'll never want to believe it.
"Emily!" Yuck, Katie's talking to me again, I really should start paying attention.
"What?" I aim for a mumble but it falls out as a shout. Fuck, everyone's looking. DOUBLE FUCK. She's looking too. Naomi. I can feel my cheeks flushing red.
"I said stop looking at the lezzer you tit." Shit, I didn't even realize I was doing it that time.
I have to go. Somewhere were she's not. I grab my shit and start walking, faster than usual but the cafeteria door seems soo far away. I can hear JJ defending me as I leave, "m-maybe she was staring into space. In actual fact most of the population finds it relaxing, I myself find baths relaxing." At least he's trying. Fucking top bloke JJ is. I'll thank him later. Freddie cuts him short of course, "Oh do shut up JJ."
I head to the bathroom, fuck going to my locker. I'd only fumble with the lock and get frustrated. I already have enough to think about let alone some stupid fucking code to a stupid fucking lock.
"Uhg" I cram myself in a cubical, kind of relived to be alone. No one's ever in here these days. Saving bathroom breaks till class in hope to skip a few minutes of a lesson. I can't help but smile.
Thunk. I put the lid to the loo down so I can use it as a seat. Fuck it's cold. Who's fucking idea was it to make a toilet cold anyway. I put my feet up against the door, my heels resting on the lock as my legs cross over. Fuck this is uncomfortable. Smooth Emily, real fucking smooth.
Piss it, maybe I'll just bunk off and go to one of the local cafe's last block.
Shit, someone's come in. I can hear the door slowly close behind them, but they're not saying anything. Obviously alone. It's times like these where Katie would say loser, good thing I'm not Katie; bitch.
Fuck, I can't hear them anymore, maybe they're gone. Class starts soon, if I'm going to bunk off I'll want to do it soon. Piss it, I'll leave now.
I turn the lock and step out of the cubical and look at myself in the mirror. I don't look too bad today do I? Grey cardigan, purple singlet top and black denim shorts. Not too bad, not fucking bad at all. Good thing Katie didn't nick off with this outfit.
"I like your shoes." Fuck, they didn't leave. I cringe. Double fuck, I know that voice.
I turn around and let a gasp escape my lips. I fucking gaps, who the hell gasps? It's her, Naomi. Why the fuck did she have to follow me?
"Thanks." Thanks, that'll do. Not too humiliating.
"Looking at me huh?" Damn it, I was hoping she wouldn't bring it up.
"Oh, no. I was looking at your shirt." Crap save, "where'd you get it?" Gotta make it believable.
"Can't remember." She tugs on the hem of her shirt. God she really does look fit in it. "Got given it a few birthdays back."
There I go, looking at her again. Why didn't she just leave me alone?
"Pitty you weren't looking at me. Then again I suppose your sister was afraid I'd lez you up if she didn't say anything." I smile slightly before she adds, "honestly you'd think she thought it was a fucking disease."
Now I laugh. I don't know why. It's funny but not as funny as I'm making it out to be. Fuck me I'm nervy. Maybe that's why I can't stop laughing.
"Alright." She raises and eyebrow and I cease my laughter.
Shit. Smart one Emily. Make yourself look like a right dick. "Sorry." I mumble again. Fuck Emily, spit it out.
She's walking away now, opening the door.
"Hey Naomi?" It slips out.
"Yeah?"
"Do you want to come to Suave with me?" Why can't I stop myself?
"The Cafe or the Berlesk house?"
"The Cafe." I laugh.
"Sure, when?" She's actually interested?
"Now?" I doubt she'll bunk off class with me.
"Sure." She shrugs, doesn't smile but simply shrugs. Her eyes focusing on the ceiling.
"Cool." That's all I can say. But I edge towards the door.
"So long as you look at my face and not my shirt this time." She's teasing me. I can hear it in her voice. Not like Katie teases me. I like her teases.
"I promise." I stifle a smile and duck out the door as she holds it open. And together we head to Suave, taking the back path of the school to avoid the teachers. It's nice, being just her and I. I don't want it to end.
