A/N: So basically previous chapter was supposed to show reaction of Emily's friends as they see Naomi and Emily starts talking again. This chapter and maybe a lil bit of the next one, I want to focus on Katie.

By the way all mistakes here are all mine as I dont have anyone checking my work.

Disclaimer: I don't own skins just this bit and pieces of my imagination. :D

Chapter 06

The days moved quite fast and before Emily knew it, its already Friday morning.

On her way to school, Emily can't help but think on how Naomi always manage to catch her in school. Not that she is complaining, they are getting along well and she is actually finding herself enjoying their little chat. There is only one class that they are together and although she is sitting with JJ on that one, she can't help sometimes but feel that in a way Naomi is looking at her. Well, she can't know for a fact because she sits two rows front of Naomi but you know that feeling that someone is watching you? She gets that sometime and when she try to look back at her, Naomi is usually either looking at the teacher intently or bowed down writing on her notes.

Emily also can't help but notice the lighter Naomi. Not that all bitchy except for well that episode with Lia last Monday. And speaking of Lia, Emily groaned. Lia will be there tonight and well, Lia made her promise that they will finally be alone again for the weekend, saying that Emily is killing her for the anticipation and excitement. Hey, like my motto, I am not cruel to hot girls begging for attention eh?, thought Emily so she agreed. But honestly she wants space from this girl, because frankly Emily does not want it to go out of hand. So she swears that tonight, she just have to make it clear to Lia, before they do anything that what they have is not serious or else she will split.

Naomi on the other hand is confusing her. What the fuck does she want anyway? Is it really friendship? Because Emily find it odd. Not that she does not believe that people change, because she wants to believe she did. She does not want to go back to shy Emily before. But, this new Naomi is bugging her and not wanting to sound arrogant but Emily knew that are a few times like that Monday afternoon when they walk past their room that she saw Naomi looked at her with.. well, Emily does not want to say it, but there is no denying the want she saw on those eyes, despite immediately being erased when Cook arrived.

Emily thought that despite this new Naomi, if ever it is really true that she DID change, and Emily snorted on that thought. It still does not change the fuck that she still fucking hated Naomi everytime she remembers the reason on why she ran away during the first year of college. And here she is trying to be friends with her as if nothing happened? What the fuck is Naomi trying to play here anyway? Whatever that is, Emily vowed never to let it affect her anymore.

*******************************

"Ems! Thanks God you arrive early.", Naomi greeted when Emily reached her locker. Only to find Naomi already standing there, apparently waiting for her.

Emily smiled confused on what the fuck Naomi means by that.

"Why? What's wrong?"

"I was a stupid prick and forgotten my book yesterday. The one needed for our coursework? My mom and I were down to my grandpa's place and I forgot to bring it back to my house right after.. Can I borrow your book I need it to complete this fucking coursework.."

Emily sighed with relief. Ok she was thinking it was something more.

"Sure. You can even copy it if you want to", she smiled and pull it out from her bag to hand it to Naomi.


*********************************

"Fucking Ems, I will NOT as in NOT EVER, borrow your things again", grumbled Katie while she storms her way to Emily.

Emily looked back and see her twin's red face and she frowned concerned, "Why? What happened that has to do with my things?"

"Your fucking girlfriend grab me this morning in the cubicle and forcefully kiss me!! Ewwghh... That girl not better show her face to me again or I fucking swear I will do more than the shoving she received from me this morning..", Katie answered clearly angry at what happened that her nostrils are fuming.

Emily cant help but laugh, she knows who Katie is referring to. Katie came over the other night to borrow some of Emily's wardrobe saying she wants a little change, guess it wont happen again in the future, thanks to Lia. But then Emily swallowed her laugh when she saw her sister looking at her about to bite her head off as well.

"The hell you have the nerve to laugh at me after that fucking wanker of a girl-", Katie paused and look at the person besides Emily. Although, the person's back is still facing her, Katie knows who that fucking back belongs to. Naomi and Emily was sitting at one of the benches when Katie arrived because Naomi was busy filling out her coursework.

Naomi on the other hand, felt frozen when she initially heard Katie shouting to Emily, but she knows she can't escape now and she have to start facing the biggest problem that she knows she will have in winning Emily back... Katie.

Katie, looked back at Emily and squinted at her. If earlier she was completely pissed off, this time Emily can see that Katie is now furious. Emily knows she has to act because she swears from the way Katie look that someone will be hurt in one way or the other.

"Katie.. Don't".. Emily cautiously asked her sister and slowly raised her hand and touch Katie on her shoulder. Katie looked at her still furious and Emily saw Katie starts to clench her hands on her sides. "Katie.. Please...". Emily asked her sister, practically begging for Katie to look at her eyes directly. She then start to tug on Katie's arm to pull her away from Naomi. Thank God though that Naomi has not turned around yet because frankly, Emily swears that one look at Naomi's face and Katie will completely loose it.

Katie then looked at Emily clenching her jaw and looking at the hand that is tugging her away from the person she so desperately hate. Emily finally see that her twin looked at her, tried again.. "Please Katie... Not here... Ok?"..

Emily has managed to move Katie a few feet away when Katie looked back and paused and well Emily does not want to drag her sister so she stopped tugging as there is no use because Katie is now adamant to stop Emily from pulling her away from Naomi.

"What.. the.. fuck.. are you doing... talking.. to my sister..", Katie spoke through clench teeth with such venom that people near us starts looking. Emily, silently prayed, for the love of God, please let her be calm.

Naomi took a deep breath and slowly turned around. She is not actually afraid of Katie or anyone for that matter. She is not afraid as well if a fight will happen. But this time, its different. She is afraid because Emily matters and if she act on this wrong, Katie is Emily's twin sister and Emily will surely be on Katie's side and Naomi knows Katie has every right to be angry at her. Hell, Naomi is even angry at herself as well so she understands what Katie feels and she is willing to accept it.

"Katie..", Naomi breath putting in as much cautiousness as she can on her voice.

"You're not... fucking.. answering.. my question!", Katie replied much louder now.

"Katie!", hissed Emily. "Hold it ok? Fuck sake there are people looking, do you want to make a scene?" But Katie turned her attention back to Naomi, glaring. Not only when someone started chanting "fight" did Katie starts to look around. Well, Katie is Katie, so although she loves attention she does not want this type of attention. So Emily saw Katie tried to breath in long and slowly drag her breath out. She then looked back at Emily and whispered looking at Emily's hand on her arms, "Let me fucking go.. I just need to have this bitch know what is on my fucking mind.."

"Dont do anything stupid Katie.. Please?", Emily hesitated. She saw Katie's face starts to fight back an argument but then stopped and she swallowed again looking at the people around. "I won't. So let go.. now"..

Emily really have no choice but to let go and trust that nothing will indeed happen. Katie then moved slowly back towards Naomi and when she is already a foot of her, Katie stopped and started to raise her hand and pointed straight at Naomi's face. Her fingers pointing so close to Naomi's face that at first Emily was scared that she will slapped Naomi or something.

"You have no right.. NO RIGHT.. to talk to my sister. Do you understand that bitch?", Katie gritted through clench teeth. "If you ever,,.. EVER.. hurt her again.. I swear I will fucking strangle you.. You.. You dont even have a slight idea of what she has been through.. Do you know that?!! Do you want ME to tell you, huh?!".

Emily panic.. She does not want to let Naomi know what happened to her after she went away. Nobody needs to know that, only JJ and her family knows. All everybody needs to know is that now she is practically ok and changed for the better. So she practically jumped as she walked fast towards Katie and interupted her before Katie can say anything that will ruin the new Emily that she has successfully put up.

"Katie..", she warned. "Katie come on.. That is enough, ok?" and then forcefully hold Katie's arm tightly and tug her away again, this time adding much more force.

Katie let Emily pull her this time, but only after telling Naomi, "I am not through with you, bitch!" And then Katie turned and stormed out of the hallway with Emily still holding her arm but not anymore pulling her. And Naomi heared Katie say, "And you, Ems, we have to talk!".

They continued to walk until they reach the outside campus grounds and away from Naomi's sight.
