Yesterday Once More

"And again…" Jo drawled, nodding at Sam.

Sam smirked and pounced on Kate, pinning her against the wall. "Go near my bloke would ya, Maltby?" she sneered.

Kate stammered, batting her eyes at Sam. "I didn't know you were together!"

Jo looked around the corner, keeping an eye out for any teachers, trying not to laugh as she watched Sam square up to the taller girl. One of the things that Jo liked so much about Sam was that she wasn't afraid to jump in, even when grossly out numbered. She had her principles and she stuck to them, regularly punching about her own weight, especially when Phil was involved.

"Well ya do now!" Sam snapped, glaring. "What are you gonna do about it?"

"I won't go near him, I promise!"

"That ain't enough!" Sam pulled her fist back, about to hit her again.

"Sam." Phil frowned, stopping behind her. "What you doing?"

"Come on, Micks." Charlie tried softly, her arms around his neck from behind. "Let's go-"

"I'm working." Mickey glared down at the file in front of him.

"No you're not! There's no porn magazine inside it." Charlie grinned and sighed. "I'll help you with your biology work, just come with me please!" she pouted. "I need you to help if-"

"If what? If he does something other than try and get in your knickers?" Mickey scoffed.

"Mickey!" Charlie flinched and pulled back. "There's no need for that! He's not like that!"

"Yes he is!" Mickey scoffed. "He's a bloke!"

"You've never tried it…" Charlie pouted at him from under her fringe.

Mickey smirked almost and cleared his throat, scowling. "Chaz…"

"Mick mick…" Charlie wrapped her arms back around his neck, kissing his cheek. "You're my best friend…" she patted his chest. "I want you to be there…"

Mickey sighed, glanced up and wrapped one arm up behind him, cupping the back of her head. "If that's what you want…"

"Ah, Georgina…"

"Sir." Gina nodded at Adam, smiling a little.

"The governors will see you now…" he said softly. "Do you have your case prepared?"

Gina nodded. "Sir," She held his arm. "Do you think I'll be able to-"

Mr Okaro smiled at her. "You're a bright girl, I have every faith in you."

"Thank you sir." Gina watched him, grateful to him for helping her when she knew most would automatically side with the teacher. "I appreciate it."

"I'll be in there with you." Adam smiled. "If you'd like to take a break at any time…"

Gina nodded, heading towards the door.

"Gina!" Tony hurried to her, panting to catch his breath.

"Tony!" Gina blinked. "What are you doing here?"

"I'm not going to let you do it on your own!" He frowned. "You need some back up, we know what she'll have done!"

"We?" Gina blinked, "Who's we?"

"Us." Jim and June came in behind him, followed by Jonathan, Roger, Craig and some of the others.

Gina looked overwhelmed, a smile fighting through. "But…I thought-"

"You need back up!" Tony patted her shoulder. "We won't let her win." He smiled down at her, gently pulling her towards him for a hug.

"Hiya…" Charlie blushed as she stopped beside Smithy, Mickey and Zain continuing inside.

Smithy grinned and glanced around them. "…Alright?"

Charlie nodded, looking a little unsure as she glanced around them, having taken over 2 hours to get ready, going for the 'this old thing? I just threw it on…' look. "You?"

He nodded and glanced around them, before leaning forward, sealing the gap in between them. He smiled softly and gently pressed his lips against hers, Charlie's breath hitching as she slowly raised her arms to around his neck as she returned the kiss, the gathered group of girls nearby adding commentary.

"Come on…" He nodded inside, taking her hand and leading her inside.

Charlie beamed and nodded, following him inside, glancing from her hand to theirs, soon confronted with Kerry and Andrea glaring at her from opposite corners of the room.

"Why?" Phil frowned.

Sam blustered, scowling as she sat on Phil's lap, ignoring the protests from Jo about eating her tea. "Cos she was trying to shag you!"

Phil smirked and shrugged. "And?"

"And-"

"Sam, we ain't exclusive!" Phil rolled his eyes. "If I wanna shag her, I will!"

Sam flushed scarlet and glared at Phil, hitting the back of his head.

"What?" Phil blinked, looking confused as to what he'd done wrong."

"Eat your dinner!" Sam pushed herself off his lap, already plotting how to keep the other girls away from Phil.
