A/N: This was actually really fun to write, I've always wanted a story about them all in school. I'd love to read it so I thought I'd write my own. Reviews are most welcome as is praise and constructive criticism.

Thank God for dinner hours, I'd be dead without them. It just means freedom and the workload is taken off us all for a while, but it's only a little while shamefully. I sit on the green with Katie and Effy and relish in the sun. It's nice when the weather is good but at the same time, I hate being stuck in school when it's sunny because it just makes me want to be outside and not be stuck in this place that is more like a prison that anything else especially a school.

"So Ems… where's your girlfriend?" Katie asked me. Effy looked at us both in complete confusion.

"Ems? You have a girlfriend? You're gay?" She asked me in disbelief.

"What? No! Katie shut up. She is not my girlfriend!" I replied. Effy still had the look of confusion.

"What the hell?"

"Naomi, she like so has a thing for our Ems" Katie said and then proceeded to laugh. Effy looked shocked and laughed.

"Well each to their own I guess. I don't blame her, you are good looking." She said to me. Katie just nodded; me and Katie looked so very alike so it made sense for Effy to say it. I love Effy, she's so lovely and she makes my sister happy so everything is good with that. We proceeded to enjoy our free time laughing and talking about complete rubbish as per usual and then the bell went again to signal the end of dinner. Great, now it's back to lessons. After that conversation had ended, Naomi had found us and came to sit with us just like she did every other day. You see, Naomi is my best friend, she has been for a few years now and we're really close but Katie always thinks that something else is going and Effy just ignores it really and tries to get on with everything else around her. I decided to lie down on the ground instead, under the shade of the tree and rested my head on my arms.

"You okay Ems?" I heard her ask quietly as she lay down next to me. I lifted my head up and looked at her, trying not to pay attention to the fact of how beautiful she was in the sun.

"Yeah fine Nai… you?" I asked her. There's something wrong and I know it, she isn't usually quiet when she asks me a question. She sighed and put her head down.

"I'm confused Ems, like really confused. I don't know what to do. I've got myself in an awful situation" She replied in a bare whisper. I looked around and Katie was still sat there looking at us with her eyebrow raised. I knew what she was thinking. I just gave her a look and she carried on talking to Effy and then probably proceeded to do other things knowing those two. They were all for public displays of affection and no one could or would stop them ever.

"What you confused about?" I asked her simply. I was intrigued about this actually. What had her confused? Nothing usually got her anywhere near confused. Am I right to be worried?

"I don't want to say where people can hear because I'm not sure of anything yet, I don't want to say it somewhere that I can't hide away" She replied.

"Fine. Okay. Well after school how about we go to yours and you can try to tell me and if you need to hide then I will leave or whatever else" I said to her simply. She nodded and smiled. I looked over at Katie who was now smirking at me. I gave her another look. I'm going to kill her when I get home tonight; I swear to God that I will actually do it. She thinks she knows everything, well tonight I'm going to prove her wrong. I'm going to prove that Naomi does not like me at all. Katie just likes to assume things, I have no idea why but then again, she likes to make drama and trouble so that is probably why. I look at her again and notice this time that Effy is looking at me and is also smirking but this turns into a smile when she sees me looking at her, she thinks she knows what's going on as well. God, why is everyone thinking the same thing, it's not even true.

I looked at Naomi and she was lying quietly on the floor, I could only hear her shallow breathing and that was only if I listened very closely. I put my head back down next to her.

"It'll all be okay. I promise" I whispered to her a promise that I won't let be broken.
