Thanks for the reviews. Thank youuuuu :)
Not too sure about this chapter and after this one I am contemplating a few ways to go. Please review, makes may day and I might include a Jeremy Kyle reference 'fabfairy.' Feel free to tell me if this is crap and if you have ideas for chapter four.
The college doors looked daunting. Katie Fitch fiddled with the baggy clothing she was wearing. She breathed deeply and patted her fringe down over her eyes. Her sister stood next to her, noticing Katie's weak posture and vacant, nervous expression. "Katie. You don't have to do this." Katie just looked at Emily.
"Yes, I do. What the fuck else am I supposed to do Ems?" Emily just shrugged.
"It doesn't have to be like this, you know?" Katie scowled at her twin.
"Well this is the way it is, the way it's going to be." Katie sighed deeply, placing her palm on the college doors, "c'mon, I'm going to need you." Emily followed her twin into the building. The words Katie just said repeating in her head. 'I'm going to need you.' Guess we needed each other more than we think, she thought. As the two girls walked through the corridor, heads turned from every direction. The Fitch twins we're to be hot news. Everyone was still talking about the Love Ball and now Katie's name was about to be on everyones tongue. However baggy the clothes you wear are, there is only so much you can hide. The sisters hurried to their first class and got there early. Naomi was waiting at the door for Emily, and was greeted by the red head with a kiss. Naomi looked past Emily's head and noticed Katie.
"Hi, Katie." Naomi said softly, smiling friendly out of the side of her mouth.
"Hi," Katie's hand was placed firmly on her face as she played with her hair.
"Everything okay?" Emily was leaning her head into Naomi but turned back to see her sister as the two people she loved most in the world spoke.
"Everythings fine and fucking dandy, can't you tell?!"
"Oi, she was just being nice." Emily said, raising her voice.
"Yeah, well it was a stupid question, alright?" Katie replied sharply.
"And, what the-"
"It was a stupid question, sorry Katie." Both sisters looked at Naomi.
"Ermm, it's, you know, fine Naomi." Katie said, stumbling over her own confidence. "Let's go in." Naomi and Emily both nodded and Emily gripped her girlfriends hand tighter than before and whispered 'Thank you' subtely in her ear.
The three girls were the first in form and sat quietly in the corner as everyone else slowly entered the room. JJ was the first of the 'gang' to enter and as he went to sit down his eyes glanced towards Emily and he simply smiled. She smiled back until Naomi grabbed her hand and pulled her in for a kiss. Emily wasn't sure if this was Naomi's way of reassuring herself or her telling JJ to back off. It made her slightly nervous anyhow, did she see JJ as competition? The next two people to enter the room were Pandora and Thomas, they sat on the opposite table to the three girls. Emily still had Thomas' coat.
"Guess what Emily, me and Thomas were snogging, in front of people! People at college."
"Ooh, Pandora. You radical." Naomi replied sarcastically. Emily and Naomi laughed privately at Naomi's comment as Thomas and Pandora talked to JJ.
The atmosphere in the room made Katie feel sick and she knew it would only get worse when Effy walked in and even worse still when Freddie turned up. Maybe it was stupid coming in today. Maybe things should be different, like Emily had said. But we weren't brought up that way, that wasn't right. Abortion had always been evil, just like homosexuality, in the Fitch household, Katie contemplated as more people entered the room. She thought it was ironic that her parents were more accepting of her pregnancy than the fact that Emily wasn't likely to get pregnant at all.
"Katie," the sound of Emily's voice pulled Katie out of her daze. "Katie?"
"Yeah," she replied quietly.
"They're here." Katie looked up towards the door from the seat she was sunk low in. Freddie and Effy strolled through the door, laughing, hand in hand. Katie slipped down into her chair even further. Watching the couple closely before resting her head on the table. She crossed glances with Effy, not knowing whether to look away or break into tears. Images of Gobblers End popping violently into her head. Effy turned away quickly and sat down with Freddie, it was if he hadn't even realized that any Fitch was in the room. Cook's absence was inevitable. No one had really seen him much since he'd returned. Kieran was sat lazily at the front of the class and once the last few people had found their seats he stood up and began to complain that he really didn't want another year of this bullshit and that he wanted everyone to say one sentence about themselves like last year so that he didn't have to talk.
"Naomi, and I guess I'm in love."
"I'm Emily and she didn't mention it but she's in love with me."
"I'm still Pandora and My mum doesn't think I'm useless anymore."
"Hello. I am Thomas. Very nice to meet you, again."
"I'm Freddie. The beautiful girl I met last year is now my girlfriend."
Kieran, hurried through the class, randomly asking people to say their sentence.
"Right now you." Effy stood up, her vivid blue eyes facing Katie's direction.
"I'm Effy. I'm sorry." The words sent shivers down Katie's back making her want to run out the room and be sick, and she really hated being sick. She'd been sick non stop for a month and she'd been ready to kill herself because of it.
"You," Kieran looked at Katie.
"Me?"
"Yeah, you're last." Katie breathed in deeply and looked across the classroom. She stood up slowly, pulling her large hoodie down as she did. It was obvious to everyone what she was hiding. JJ's eyes widened, Effy let out a smirk and giggled quietly under her breathe.
"Wowzer." Pandora exclaimed.
Freddie looked speechless, millions of thoughts suddenly flying through his head at a hundred miles an hour, he could simply bring himself to say,
"Shit." "I'm Katie and I guess I don't need to say much." Katie muttered quickly. As she finished, the room filled with the sound of teenage voices. Everyone was talking. Katie fled the room quickly, tears of embarrasment filling her eyes. Emily followed her, knowing exactly how it felt to be publically humilated, Katie had done it to her for years.
