Okay, so if anyone is actually reading this, here's the next chapter.
I actually wrote it sat on Brandon Hill in Bristol, in case no one knows where it is, its the spot where Emily and JJ were sat, when Emily starts choking on JJ's vitamin C tablet. I managed to find and sit in exactly the same spot and thought it may get me 'in the Skins' mood :)
Okay, hope you enjoy :D
Naomi's POV
"Fucking, wanking, piece of shit!"
Why does everything around me have to fall to shit!
"Naomi, since when did that microwave ever bash you in the side of the head?"
I look up, and there's two faces staring at me through the ajar door. One, the usual mysterious Effy Stonem, my inadequately educated boss, and the other…I have never seen before. We all stood in silence for a bit, disturbing since I'm never one to fall short for words.
"This is Emily, she's going to be joining us for a while, taking over from Uncle Steve"
I move my eyes up and down Emily's small form. She has the most delicate features: gorgeous brown eyes, and although completely unnatural, the most vibrant and glowing scarlet red hair. She's just staring at me with a look in those almost black eyes, a kind of hopeful look, like she's expecting something from me or something to happen.
"Seeing she is still the rude sod she is-"
"-Hey!" I interrupt
"This is Naomi"
Emily nervously snakes her hand out to shake mine "Hi", she whispers. I take her hand and utter a "Hi" back. She smiles sweetly at me, and I cant help but gaze back into those mischievous brown orbs. Noticing my hesitation to make conversation-
"-Don't mind her Emily, she has an appetite for confrontation and all things argumentative. You just get used to it"
"Oi!" I look over to Emily, and see a slight curl appear upon her lips. She's still gazing at me, and remembering back to the microwave incident, I realize I really should just learn to shut my mouth from time to time.
"Okay, so I need to get back to the morning deliveries, I know it's your break Naomi, but do you mind showing Emily the rest of the building and getting her some clean uniform out of the cupboard? Once you've finished, whatever…you were…doing?"
"Um, yeah that's fine, but she will have to wait. Looks like I might have to power up the microwave the good old fashioned way, turning the cogs and wires by hand…"
With that, Effy's gone.
Emily's POV
Effy scoots past me, not before giving me a quick wink as she leaves the room, and closes the door. Back to silence. Not the awkward, I would rather poke my own eye out with a stick kind of way, but it's different. It's comfortable. It's soothing.
I take a seat down at the table, feeling a pair of azure blues burning into my back.
"Tea?" I hear called from behind me, and instantly spin around in my chair,
"Um…yes…please"
"Milk and sugar?"
"Hmm" nodding my head, "thanks". A couple of minutes later, two mugs of hot liquid are placed on the table before us, and Naomi joins me sat at the table. "Thanks" I repeat again.
The silence is back. Were sat for a while, flicking through old magazines which I find less than mildly appealing; who really wants to know that snakes can be born inside out while they're-
"-Don't worry about Effy"
I jerk my head up "huh?"
"Sometimes…she likes to think…she can have anything she wanted-"
"-No, I-"
"-Likes to think she can get under your skin, you know? Even tried it on with my boyfriend before"
Why is she telling me this?
"She doesn't mean to be nasty or anything, just likes to be in control of people"
What the fuck do you say back to that?
After a few moments of an awkward silence, "What happened?" I ask.
"Well, Will and I…my boyfriend…we had a massive argument over some stupid little incident. So she tried it on with him, to make him see how much he really wanted me over her. Everyone always wants her you see, and-
"-I don't…want her"
She smiles at me and nods her head, "…Good". We just gaze at each other for what seems like hours, but in fact couldn't have been more than a few moments. "Come on" She motions her head to the door "We best be getting you in that uniform".
With that, I gulp down the rest of my tea, and stand up out of my chair. Naomi does the same, and as she moves, she lightly brushes the top of my arm with her own, leaving a slightly tingling sensation from the skin-to-skin contact. As we walk out of the room, I cant help think to myself, 'I think I'm going to like it here', with a slight smile present on my lips.
I hope you enjoyed the second part guys, if you did, or didn't, please review… :D
