HEADS UP- if you don't like reading the AN's, after skipping the top AN's and reading the story, you may be amused by the alternative short chapter I wrote for one of the reviewers in the bottom A/N . So, look through the bottom A/N AFTER reading if you are interested… (it's just as a joke though so it won't be continued or be actually apart of the story…)

A/N:

My greatest apologies for not working on this sooner... Been too tired and all the baggage that comes with going to school. On a happier note, I see some direction for this story now… AND (insert mischievous grin here) I have figured out a way to integrate the boys and rid myself of some of the "boundaries" I've been complaining about… But I don't know how soon that will all happen?

I'll have more thank yous at the bottom, however …

Scratchpost- THANKS! I was highly flattered when I read your review. The motivation credit goes to you this chapter :) AND… I've never actually perceived Effy as a bitch, more of a messed up, kinda loner, who's rather mysterious… and definitely has the potential of being nice. So I'm glad you like my interpretation.

Now for the story! (While I sit back and type this listening to my dubstep. –Yes I'm a dubhead (not fond of the headaches that come with it though…) )

CHAPTER 11 (No one's PoV really… at least not for the start)

Naomi and Emily were lying down in the "tent" they had made. They used two mattresses for the floor, three standing horizontally for the walls, and one for the top. Although the mattresses were hardly visible because they had been covered in any sheet or blanket they had found.

The lights in the room were turned out but there was a faint glow coming from the inside of the makeshift fortress. Emily poked her face out between the opening of the sheets to greet Effy.

"Keep the lights off Eff, we're pretending that we've gone camping. A little vacation from this mental school per say."

Emily went back inside and giggled with Naomi. Effy was looking around the room to take in all the changes that the whispering giggly girls had made in the hours she had left. She couldn't help but smile at their antics when she saw the bathroom. The door that had been broken off its hinges was lying on the floor with a paper taped to it. "The Lake." In the dim light she was able to make out that there were puddles all over it. Clever, she thought. Effy was definitely curious what had happened there but shrugged her shoulders and climbed inside the "tent" to join them.

Naomi remained sprawled out on her side with her head resting on her hand while Emily shuffled over to sit criss-cross in the corner to make room for Effy. Effy instantly picked up on the eye tag between the two. One of the two were constantly looking at the other and then would quickly turn away before getting caught staring, and then the other would reciprocate. This caused the all familiar knowing smile to appear on Effy's face.

"So what have you two love-birds been doing besides fucking in my room?"

Naomi hid her face in embarrassment, shocked that Effy caught on. But Emily had been acquired to Effy's mind tricks and was able to answer her without giving anything away.

"You mean, fucking up your room. Want some cereal?" Emily held out the box of cereal she had been taking handfuls and munching from.

"No thanks Em." Effy shook her head but gladly took it back and continued eating. A few pieces had been falling out of the red-heads hand and Naomi picked them up.

"Hungry much, Emily?" She tossed the pieces into Emily's hair.

"Yes. I've been quite busy today, too busy to eat. So I've built up a hearty appetite if you must know." She winked, only bringing back the blush that Naomi had just managed to get rid of, to her face again.

Effy rose up an eyebrow questioningly and Emily picked up on her inquisition. She started to explain the whole day's events, leaving out the intimate parts. However Effy was able to imagine exactly what Emily was leaving out because every time there was something Emily skipped, Emily winked at Naomi or smirked, and Naomi would look away embarrassed. They were all sent into laughing fits at the especially funny parts. Emily and Naomi may not know how much they've fallen for each other, but it was obvious to Effy. Just Naomi playfully slapping Emily's leg whenever she got some technicality wrong, and the way they went back and forth teasing each other was enough for Effy to know that it was just her presence keeping the two creatures from pouncing on each other in an all out love war.

"You guys are so cute together." Effy smiled at her own bluntness.

Naomi looked from Effy to Emily then had a nervous laughter fit. Her laughter was quickly interrupted when Emily leaned over Naomi's body and looked into her big blue eyes and moved their faces together so they could feel each other breathing. Their heartbeats were both climbing and were silent. Naomi's eyes nervously flicked to Effy, Emily saw Naomi look at Effy, and just looked to Effy herself, smiled, and then leaned down and gently kissed Naomi's lips.

Emily sat straight on Naomi's lap still looking into Naomi's eyes, but smiling. Naomi just looked petrified and was struggling to figure out what to do with herself. She had just been outed for the first time in front of someone that wasn't the actual person she had fallen in love with.

"I've known Emily for a very long time Naomi. Long enough to know that she's gay; if possible, she's especially gay for you. Emily didn't realize it, but when she first came to this school, every time she tried to have a conversation she would be flirting with whatever girl she was talking to. Fortunately for her, I warned her about her behavior before she got caught and was put through some very awkward situations."

Emily looking down, shyly and embarrassed, and Naomi was watching her attracted to this cute side of her while Effy continued to explain.

"So anyway, I knew when I saw you that Emily was going to love you. When we had our little chat on the staircase you confirmed my suspicions and I knew you were gay. Not to mention the not so subtle drool-gazing you were throwing at Emily were enough to give you away. Don't worry though, only Emily and I picked up on it because we were actually looking for it."

Emily was now chuckling at Naomi's turn to feel shy.

"Naomi, are you okay?" Emily knew this was a lot to suddenly be brought to Naomi's attention and knew there were probably a lot of reasons to be scared. She knew she had to reassure and comfort any bad feeling Naomi was being now attacked by.

"Emily, what the fuck are we going to do?" Naomi looked like she was going to cry.

"Well, we are going to stay together. It makes us happy, and if there are any problems, fuck them." Naomi really wished she could grasp even just a piece of the confidence Emily was displaying all on her own behalf.

"But Emz," Naomi sat up and Emily turned on her lap to embrace Naomi who was shaking from her tears. "nobody here, but like Effy," she looked at Effy appreciatively then went back to looking into the comforting brown eyes connected to her," are going to accept us." She whispered the last part, and Emily could sense that she needed to do anything she could or Naomi might be tempted to run, to escape.

"Naoms, we go to a religious college there's no fucking way we'll be accepted. Let's leave." She kissed Naomi gently and wiped away the tears in Naomi's eyes with her thumbs and held her face.

"I know somewhere you guys can go." The were both had forgotten about Effy until a voice from behind them spoke. "You sure as hell won't be able to stay here, not if you want to be together. Sooner or later you'd get caught."

Naomi's grasp on Emily tightened. "I don't want to run Emily." She whispered.

"And I'm going to help you not to run Naomi." Emily whispered back, kissing the ear that was listening to her voice.

TO BE CONTINUED. :)

I suppose that was a sweet way to end that chapter…

Okay, just one thing before I get on with the thank-yous. I should get a fucking nomination because this is the first chapter I did not use the word/phrase "a bit." - it was pissing me off how frequently I said that … (I get self-conscious when I overuse little things like that… blah. Stupid if you ask me… but what can I do…)

DRUM ROLLZ.

HappyAsIAm- THANKS! Blimey! I'm glad you think it's good but I I DOEZNT WANTZ TO ENDZ ITZ. :)

Iwetta- THANKS! Too much drama in reality. So my FF is a way to escape that into the cuteness lovely fuzzyness of what we all love in Naomily. And I am VERY happy you found it funny. (definitely what I try my best to be.)

Clyyd- THANKS! Sorry if I disappointed you… Woulda been funny if Effy got angry… but I just didn't see that happening, wasn't exactly in character with the Effy I had going… LOL So I made a small alternative of what happened just for the heck of it.

("What the fuck did you guys do to my room?" She didn't seem mad, she just had the usual smirk. Although I could tell she was definitely more amused than usual. Effy turned on the lights to get a complete visual of the damage.

"WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU DO?" Emily and Naomi bit their lips. Now they felt differently, she was sure as hell mad.

"Uhm, Effy," Emily poked her head out of the tent to try and prevent the eruption of anger that was about to explode in front of them, "we just…" Emily struggled to think of a rational explanation. Naomi's head appeared next to hers to attempt to help.

"Listen Effy, Emily and I needed some fucking anger therapy. If you have a fucking problem you can talk to fucking Katie and cry about it together okay? Fucking bitches."

Emily looked at Naomi shocked at Naomi's sudden counter explosion. Effy was just standing near the doorway with her jaw hanging open.

Emily tried to break the obvious tension.

"Uhm, by the way, thanks Effy for getting me excused." She smiled awkwardly.

A drip of black paint from the ceiling was dangerously slowly getting closer to falling right above Effy. Both Naomi and Emily looked up to watch it. Effy looked up as well to see what they were watching. Just then the drip came falling down and landing on her forehead.

"You fucking painted the ceiling?" She took her finger and tried to wipe it away, actually further smudging it.

Emily and Naomi climbed out of the tent revealing their pajamas covered in streaks of black paint from previous drips and were covering their mouths to avoid laughing at Effy stunned look.

And then a rhino fell through the ceiling and killed them all.)

HOWS THAT FOR ALTERNATIVITY. Lol. Sorry, that alternative was supposed to only be a paragraph and I got carried away so I hadda end it real quick. Anyway I hope that made up for your disappointment if there was any.

Shewritesforher- THANKS! Keep smiling. :)

Muffmuncher- THANKS! Thanks for the ideas, but I think I have something a little more adventurous up ahead. Stay tuned hehe.

THANKS TO ALL THE REVIEWS/READERS/FAVORITERS/ALERTERS/ADMIRERS/ monkeys who are worshipping chocolate pie out there, cuz that stuff just needs to be worshipped.
