Thank you for the reviews, I really wasn't expecting any! They really made my day. Here's the next one. It follows pretty much directly on from the last one. The only things I know about college in England I have learnt from skins so please correct me if I get anything wrong.

Chapter 2: I can't make any promises.

Emily and I stride casually out of the hall. We found out that we were in the same form and had most of our classes together. Unfortunately, so did Aaron. Emily had drilled me with questions about him throughout the rest of assembly. I told her everything she wanted to hear, I even pretended to gush at how cute it was that she had a crush on him for so long. I had also found out that her surname was Fitch and she had the annoying yet inevitable laugh at my surname, Campbell.

We picked lockers next to one another and threw our stuff in. I glanced up from my locker and looked down the corridor. I watched as Emily's twin, who I found out to be called Katie, strutting her way down the hall. I turned to Emily who was flicking through one of her textbooks.

"You'll have to introduce me to her" I stated.

"Introduce you to whom?" Emily asks not looking up from her book.

"Katie." Emily snaps the book shut and looks at me.

"I don't think so" Emily murmurs.

"You are going to be getting to know my twin, why shouldn't I get to know yours?"

Emily busies herself at her locker, refusing to look at me.

"I just…don't think you two would get along that's all"

"There's something else though. Another reason why you don't want me to get to know her." I was right and Emily knew that I wasn't going to stop asking so she sighed and gave up.

"It's just that everyone loves to be around Katie, God knows why, but they do."

"I'm not seeing your point here Ems." The nickname just slipped out but Emily didn't seem to notice.

"Look, we don't know each other that well; we've known each other for two hours maybe? And I can already tell that you're smart and funny and I'm completely dull in comparison and if you get to know Katie you'll want to be her friend, not mine and I think we could be good friends you know?"

Emily stared at me with a look of desperation, and then blushed slightly.

"Sorry, that's really embarrassing; I've gone and freaked you out now. Ugh I'm such an idiot."

"Hey, calm down. You haven't embarrassed yourself. I'm quite flattered, "smart and funny," it's not often I get two compliments in one day." I smiled genuinely at her, hoping that she would be ok now. "If you don't want me to get to know Katie yet that's fine, we can get to know each other."

"Great, I'd like that. I've never had a friend that wasn't Katie's too before."

"Right so now that we have that cleared up, politics class then?"

"Lead the way."

…..

Emily and I sat at the back of the class waiting for the teacher and the rest of the class to arrive. As the rest of the class enters, Aaron runs towards me, sits up onto my desk, gets me in a headlock and ruffles my hair. As I struggle to get out of his grip I can hear Emily giggle beside me and the click of high heels walking up behind Aaron. I look up to see the similar yet different brown eyes of Katie Fitch.

"Who's this?" Katie asks Aaron with disdain.

"Oh that's right, you and Naomio here haven't met!"

I stretch out my hand towards her whilst still in the headlock.

"It's a pleasure to meet you Katie."

Katie makes no move to accept the handshake. Instead she turns to Aaron.

"Who is she?"

"Well she's my twin of course!" Aaron exclaims. The relief on Katie's face is evident to all but I think I'm the only one to notice Emily's grimace. Emily clearly isn't happy with Katie liking Aaron.

Then some shaggy looking guy walks in and tells us all to sit the fuck down so Aaron releases me from my choke hold and leaves to go sit with Katie.

The blokes name is Kieran and he clearly doesn't give a fuck. So as he drones on for the rest of the class I look around at my other classmates. As I predicted Aaron already had his own click formed. There was a pretty stoned looking, skater guy, a nervous boy with curly brown hair, a blonde girl with pigtails, a guy making some obscene remarks, a quiet, dark skinned boy and this girl with the most amazingly blue eyes who I realise has been watching me stare at her for quite some time now. I quickly look away while she smirks to herself. The bell goes and everyone rushes out the door.

…..

The rest of the day is a bit of a blur. I had a few more classes with Emily and in every one she acted strangely. In our last class of the day Emily had progressed to being extremely fidgety. I was about to ask what was wrong with her when she turned to me.

"We need to do something Naomi."

"Do something about what?"

"About Katie and Aaron."

"I already told you that I would help you with that." I wasn't seeing the reason for Emily's panic.

"I need you to talk to him about me today. Katie works fast, she probably has him hooked already. The only chance I've got is that she likes a good chase; she won't give in to him easily. You need to get him interested in me before he is too attached to Katie."

"It's the first day; don't you think I should wait until he knows you better?" I was searching for reasons to give her as to why I couldn't help her. If she started dating him soon she would have no time for me.

"Please Naomi?" Emily pleaded. How could I say no to that face?

"Alright, but I'm not guaranteeing anything."

"Thanks, you're the best." With that she threw her arms around me and planted a kiss on my cheek. I caught the intoxicating smell of her strawberry shampoo and felt the blush spread across my face.

"Really, it's no problem," I stated as I shrugged her off. Emily gave me a small look of confusion due to my sudden abruptness but quickly shook it off, clearly too content with the promise I had made to her. The last bell of the day went and I quickly stood up and left.

On my way home I pondered the difficult task I had ahead of me.

That's chapter two done. I was going to go on for a bit more but decided the next part would be better as the beginning of the next chapter. I hope you enjoyed it and drop a review if you feel like it
