Chapter 2: The Lies When You Smile

Katie leaned back against the locker behind her. Her fingers were still tracing her lips and she was still wondering, What…the…fuck…just happened? Her fingers turned from lightly tracing her lips and now she begun to wipe the skin there furiously. Katie rubbed until every trace of Naomi should've been gone but for some reason she still lingered.

Naomi stared at Katie as if seeing her for the first time and Katie moved her eyes from Naomi's face to a point on the floor. Naomi still extremely flustered managed to choke out, "But…but…I thought you were Emily and.."

Katie stood still for a minute, unable to find the normally harsh tone and angry words that she normally used on the blonde. Being mean to Naomi was normal…it was safe. This new thing, whatever it was, wasn't safe at all.

Katie mentally kicked herself in the head and decided to get the fuck on with it, push Naomi away and then take all the time she wanted to figure out what the fuck had just happened.

"Yeah, I know I look like Emily, that was the bloody point because she's home with a hangover. And it was all going fine and fucking dandy until you decided to snog your girlfriends sister," Katie pushed herself away from the locker and invaded Naomi's space, letting herself yell a bit.

As predicted, Naomi leaned away a little but then it seemed like she remembered that she was Naomi Campbell and she didn't take shit from anyone, much less Katie. She leaned back in, "Well like you said, you meant to look like Emily…how the fuck was I to know?"

Katie shook her head and let out a brief snort of laughter, "Umm…maybe because she's your girlfriend? And maybe also because I look ten times better than her anyways."

Naomi shook her head and smiled a bit because suddenly they were back in their old roles. Bitch and bitchier and that was fine…that was expected. Naomi rolled her eyes, "You only wish, Katiekins."

Katie leaned back against the locker and smiled a crooked smile, "I don't wish…I fucking know it. You have to admit at least I kiss better than Ems." As soon as it was out of her mouth, Katie knew it was the wrong thing to say because it didn't lighten the mood at all, in fact it brought the awkwardness back into the air as Naomi's cheeks turned a slight pink and she slid her eyes away from Katie's.

With a sigh Katie turned back round to finish getting the books from Emily's locker, hoping that this conversation was done with because things were getting a bit too weird.

She barely heard Naomi speak from the clanging she was making in the locker but Naomi's words did reach her ears, "What are we going to tell Emily?"

Katie spun around, "No…no we don't tell Emily anything. Why on earth would you want to?"

Naomi shrugged one slender shoulder, "Dunno…seems like the right thing to do."

Katie shook her head furiously, "Damnit, you don't know anything about Ems, do you?"

Naomi smirked, "I think I know quite a bit."

Katie saw the look in Naomi's eyes and smile and suddenly pictured Naomi and her sister involved in their lezzer activities and it made her cringe. Fucks sake that image was going to haunt her tonight.

Naomi was just about to say something else but Katie interrupted her, "We're not going to tell her anything. It would only hurt her feelings or whatever. Emily's a big baby when it comes to shit like this. It didn't mean anything. So just keep it under wraps, yeah? It was a misunderstanding. It didn't mean anything"

Naomi quirked an eyebrow at Katie and suddenly Katie feels like she's under a microscope and she feels like she's not in control anymore. Naomi's voice was soft as she asked the question, "It didn't?"

Katie swallowed a lump that had formed in her throat while she wasn't being careful. Naomi smiled at her a sad sort of smile and turned to walk away. Katie waited until Naomi was far enough away before she answered the question.

"Of course it did."

Katie stormed in her front door, slamming it behind her. She slowed her furious pace once she reached the stairs. Up in their room, Emily would be waiting. She'd ask how the deception went. Katie was afraid to tell her that it had in fact gone a little too well.

As Katie pushed open the door to their bedroom she was surprised to see Emily standing in front of the mirror, modeling a top and a short skirt. Emily turned to look at Katie and gave her a shy smile.

"Do you like them?" Katie nodded slowly. Emily didn't usually wear stuff like that but Katie had to admit they looked good on her. Emily's legs were shown off underneath the black tights and the top pushed up her tits so that it looked like she had a decent pair. Katie looked down at her own clothes, clothes that Emily had given her to wear today. With Emily smiling into the mirror and pushing her bangs aside and Katie standing there in a plaid skirt and shirt, it felt almost as if they'd switched places.

Katie sighed inwardly at the thought. First of all things were all awkward and fucked up with Naomi and now Emily was acting like a pod person…just fucking great. She walked over to her bed and tossed Emily's schoolbag over in the corner.

Emily turned around to look at her with her arms crossed, "So…how did today go? How'd you do on the French exam?"

Katie rolled her eyes. Sure, she was rubbish at maths, history, science…basically lots of stuff. But she was better than Emily at one thing and that was the language of love. "Don't worry, I aced that bloody exam."

Emily glanced off to the side like she didn't want to admit that Katie was in fact better than her at that subject. "Yeah…well, thanks then."

Katie gave a brief nod towards Emily's clothes, "What's that for then?"

Emily looked down at her clothes as if she'd forgotten she was wearing them but then her face brightened, "Oh, yeah. Effy texted me while you were at school. It seems like there's going to be a great band at the club tonight. I thought we could all go get fucked off our faces…it'll be fun."

Emily wanting to get fucked again? After she'd probably just recovered from her hangover? Katie bit her lip as she silently wondered what was wrong with her sister. Sure, Emily could party like the best of them but she usually kept her head on straight about it.

"So what's wrong then?" Katie tried to make her voice not sound judgmental but she failed a bit.

Emily shook her head, "Dunno what you mean?"

"Come on, Ems. Even I notice how much you've been drinking and into the drugs lately. Something is probably bothering you."

Katie saw Emily give way just a little bit as the tension around her shoulders eased. She saw doubt flicker in Emily's eyes and thought that maybe Emily was going to be honest with her and tell her the truth. Instead Emily shook her head quickly.

"Nothings wrong. Mum and Dad have come round, you're getting on better with Naomi, Naomi loves me…Everything is perfect."

Katie saw the lies that were hiding behind her smile and the doubt that shined in her voice. Something was up and Emily wasn't that much of a "Katie" to know how to hide it yet. Katie sort of missed the days when nothing was a secret between them. She missed the days when Emily couldn't wait to blurt everything out to Katie as soon as it had happened.

Katie flopped down on her bed with her hand covering her eyes. Just when things were supposed to settle down, Emily's turning into her, Katie's turning into Emily (complete with Naomi snogging her and everything), and not only that…but something had happened during those quick kisses that made Katie's stomach feel a bit wobbly. Her hand wandered from her eyes and felt the spot that used to be covered in stitches. She could still feel a bit of raised line of skin where the cut had been. It was going to be there forever. No…things definitely weren't supposed to be this way.

Emily's voice pulled Katie from her thoughts, "Did you see Naomi today?"

Katie didn't look up at the question because then Emily might see the panicked look in her eyes, "Yeah…I did."

"Well…did she know straight away you weren't me?"

From the tone, Katie knew the question was important to Emily. She also knew that to be a good sister you sometimes had to tell lies.

"Yeah, of course. She knows you Emily. She knows I'm not you."

In her mind Katie added "And I never will be"
