Emily and Katy went to sit down for the assembly along with the rest of the college students. Everyone was joking around and making a lot of noise. It wasn't until the principal let out a loud cry to silence the kids that they finally calmed down. A very nervous looking teacher began calling out each student's name at the front one by one. Emily couldn't help but notice that girl she used to be friends with in elementary, Naomi. She hadn't forgotten her, but the trauma of that past experience had somewhat subsided and she felt the urge to go and talk to her.

"Katy Fitch!" Katy raised her hand. Emily knew she was next as they would call the names out in alphabetical order. "Emily Fitch!" Emily raised her hand. After taking attendance, she glanced back over at Naomi to find that she was being looked at right back. She let out a timid smile. Naomi just stared blankly and turned away. She was glad to see Naomi, but she could see that Naomi wasn't at all as happy about them being at the same school once again as she was.

Attendance was done and the students were all dispersing into their allocated homerooms. Emily and Katie were walking down the corridor when her sister stoped to chat with a girl named Effy. There she was again, attempting to make connections with the popular or more good looking kids. Emily just waited a few paces behind her while she did her thing. She could hear them faintly and she could hear it when Katie brought her up. Katie, always selling herself as the better one of the two sisters, and Emily the quiet one who followed in her footsteps. It had always been that way. Effy turned her head in Emily's direction at Katie's mention of her. She gave her the once over look and a weak smile. Emily just put her head down and her hand up in greeting then swallowed nervously and looked away. Effy had already turned her attention back to Katie who was chatting away nonstop and bragging about her football star boyfriend. She was just mentioning how they should hang out because they were both the most good looking girls in the school when Naomi was spotted walking towards them. She paid them no mind, but Katie made sure she wouldn't be ignored. Katie stared her down menacingly and gave her the once over disdainfully. Naomi noticed and approached her. She wasn't going to take Katie's bullshit lying down. Emily just stared at the scene cautiously. When she caught Naomi's eye she ducked her head but remained eye contact. Naomi was on the attack mode. She looked right at Katie again and stared at her for a second right back with just as much disdain as Katie had given to her.

"Excuse me." She said in the bitchiest way possible. Katie stepped aside sarcastically and gave her a scornful look at she turned the corridor corner.

"Yea like, don't talk to her.. She tried to snogg my sister at middle school." She scoffs. "Pervy.. Don't you think Eff?" Katie looks at Effy expectantly for a few seconds to get an agreement. A few seconds pass by and Effy doesn't respond and Katie begins to look a bit insecure. Effy doesn't have to reply though because just then Naomi appears again right behind Katie..

"Watch out Katie, I might get confused and fuck you with my great big strap-on by mistake." She says rather sarcastically. Katie is too shocked to respond, but Emily is holding back a smile. It was rather humorous and satisfying to watch her sister be so baffled. Naomi walked away triumphantly.

"Muff munching bitch!" Katie swears in frustration. "She just jumped on you didn't she Em?"

"Just leave it Katie.." Emily replied. She knew it wasn't true and she didn't wish it was. She had wanted to kiss Naomi and it was a beautiful moment. Katie ruined everything.

"Whatever." Katie replied undefeated. She just sneered at Emily and turned back to Effy who had been observing the whole interaction that had just taken place with an amused look stamped on her face. An amused face that was almost hungry looking. It was as if she wasn't really there and that the whole world was just a show put on for her own amusement and for her to decipher. Like a good mystery book and you're always trying to guess who's the killer. She was hungry for clues.

"C'mon, we'll get the best seats yea?" Katie says to her coaxingly. She quickly spins around and starts marching in the direction of their first class. As she passes Emily by, she begins to follow in her footsteps when she hears Effy talking to her..

"So, you're the doormat then?" Effy stares at her curiously, trying to gauge her reaction.

"Sort of." Emily replies in an annoyed 'what do you want' tone.

"Interesting.. that you just put up with it." Effy walks away, and Emily is left to think about it.

"Yea.." She remarks to herself once again remembering all the reasons why she allows it. She doesn't even know why she allows it anymore. It's just how it's always been, and to speak up would mean to defend Naomi and she just couldn't do that. She didn't want people thinking she was gay. She wasn't gay, she just wanted to kiss Naomi that time and she liked Naomi. That's not gay. It's not that gay. It's not like I'm gay or anything. She continued thinking in that manner until she and her sister reached class..

The teacher at the front of the class threw his book aside and began class. They began with each of them sharing an interesting fact about themselves. First to go was the teacher who expressed his hate for teaching. You could tell in his bitter tone and uncaring attitude. Next to go was a kid named JJ. He shared that he was talented in mathematics but that he lacked in social skills. Next was Katie who quickly announced that she had never not had a boyfriend since she was 7, she said flirtatiously glancing around the room. Typical Katie response Emily thought to herself. Next was herself. She distinguished herself from her sister very powerfully in that instance by saying that she had never had boyfriend. She glanced at Naomi as she said it, who's back was turned to her. Next was Naomi. She cleared her throat and then said,

"I'm Naomi. I hate injustice, and when people tell lies about me." Upon mentioning her hate for rumors about herself, she looks pointedly at Emily, crossing her arms and jutting out her chin as she sits back down. Emily just stares back at her torn. She could not hold her gaze and she quickly turns away, only to glance right back at her when she is not looking. She stares at her hopelessly. Emily couldn't ignore the look she had given her. The look that said that she knew what she did and she knew it was a lie. The look that said 'you kissed me' not vice versa. The look that said 'when are you going to stop being a coward and tell people what really happened'.. but she didn't have the courage. She could only sit there in her own guilt and longing..
