Naomi and Emily were the last of the gang who entered the pub.
"And where were you two, specifically said 8pm," enquired Effy.
"Where do you think they were?" said Katie.
"Thank you for taking the words out of my mouth!" responded Naomi.
"No problem, so go on Freds, what did you want to tell or show us." Katie said, in a flirtatious voice.
Freddie placed the information on the table. Everyone looked intrigued by it, except Thomas.
"What is this place?" Thomas said, still looking confused.
"It's the biggest beach house around and I've booked it for all of us." Freddie said.
"Why?" said Pandora.
"We're all leaving are we?" Freddie said, turning to Pandora. "Eff and I are going to Nottingham, you're heading to Dublin, Naomi & Emily will be leaving the country…" he continued.
"You what?" said Katie
"Oh, don't look so surprised Katie, you've known about my plans for months!" suggested Emily.
Naomi took the perfect time to escape to the ladies, Katie soon followed her. The rest were made to vote.
"So, who's in?" said Freddie.
JJ, Effy and Cook immediately raised their hands, and Emily nodded her head in agreement. Thomas and Pandora looked at one another, before cautiously going along with Freddie's suggestion.
"Great! This is going to be some beach party. Where's Naomi gone?" Emily said, looking puzzled.
Elsewhere in the ladies, Naomi was reapplying her lipstick, when Katie emerged from the toilet.
"Funny seeing you here," said Naomi.
"Cut the crap Naomi, were you really serious about London?" said Katie, her voice sounding hearse.
"I still want to go to London, and if we are going to the same Uni, then we have to keep it quiet." Naomi suggested.
Katie shrugged her shoulders and headed for the door, before turning around to leave Naomi with one last jibe.
"You have to tell Emily about your plans, Naomi." "You may be a bitch, but you will be a bigger coward if you aren't going to tell her." Katie said.
"Or else what?" said Naomi.
"I will! I won't stand back and see my sister getting fucked over by you." Katie said, slamming the door on her way out.
Naomi looked into the mirror again and banged her wrist on her wash basin, she was now in a real dilemma, how could she work her way out of this?
