Hi again. Second chapter, hope you enjoy. I'm working on the third at this exact moment. I'm aware the chapters aren't the longest, but I'll work on that.


Chapter 2

They walked towards one of the table's in the lunch hall which was currently occupied by boy wearing bright blue jeans, who had rather curly, messy brown hair. Emily smiled towards the boy and raised a hand to wave as they closed in on the table.

"Hi JJ, this is Naomi", Emily pointed; "she's new". She sat down and turned her attention back to the blond; "Sit. This is JJ." He lifted a hand and waved at the blond with a large grin plastered over his face, "He's a little shy", the red head continued.

"Emily, do you know where Cook and Freddie are, it's just they said they'd meet me here for lunch, but the bell rang 9 minutes ago and still no sign?"

"'Fraid not JJ, not seen them all day actually".

"Oh, is one of them very loud, a little obnoxious?" Naomi interrupted.

"Sounds like Cook..."

"Yeah, I saw them in the hall way earlier, during second period, they were heading out the school"

The red head sighed. "Clearly off to get high under the bleachers. Such a tragic cliché. Fancy joining them then?" Emily smiled shrugging "You didn't want to go to the rest of your classes anyway".

Naomi shrugged, mimicking her new friends' actions, "wont they realise I'm not in class?"

"Do you care?"

Naomi knew she would probably be caught for ditching school, which was never good, especially on her first day, but Emily was a new friend and she didn't want to turn down the chance of meeting other people. "No, course not. Lead the way" she agreed nonchalantly.


"It's just down here." The three of them made their way down a few steps and round a corner where they came across four highly stoned teenagers. "Knew I'd find you here," Emily shouted, scaring the four.

"Fuck sake, Emily!" her twin jumped, "don't do that, thought someone had dobbed us in!" She raised her eyebrow and glared towards the newbie, "who's this, just inviting anyone to hang around with us now are we?" She continued to look her up and down in an attempt to intimidate the blond.

"Shut up, Katie. If Emily wants to invite a fit girl to sit with us, then she is very welcome to," the cocky bloke from earlier interrupted. "I'm Cook, but you already know that. What's your name again blondie?"

"It's Naomi" Emily introduced. "That's Cook, Freddie, Effy and my twin Katie", she advised.

"Hey, how's it goin'" Freddie produced his hand for Naomi to shake while allowing the spliff to hang from his lips. "Want a smoke?"

"Sure." She obliged, inhaling the fumes in hopes of feeling the effects soon.

Before Naomi had realised, three hours had passed and they were all laying on the ground, heads spinning and talking shit. She was in fits of laughter, but had forgotten why. She turned her head from facing Effy, and was now opposite Cook.

"Do you know how many girls I've shagged?" he asked, clearly trying to impress.

"Do you know how many I've shagged?" She replied, they both laughed at this.

"No, enlighten me," he raised his eyebrows and broke into a giant grin.

Naomi pretended to think for a minute in an attempt to tease Cook, "None" she laughed, as did he.

"I've had so many, I've lost count blondie", they continued to laugh, then without warning, Cook pounced forward placing his lips to the shocked blonds. She pulled away for a second but then dove back in to place her lips against his.

"Jesus Cook, don't you have any respect?" They parted at the interruption, "You just dumped Panda two days ago, and already you're attempting to get into someone else's pants." The petite twin spat.

"Chillax Emily, what's it to you anyway?"

"Well" she shrugged, "it's a little unkind, don't you think?" It was said in a much lower tone this time.

Cook turned his attention towards the newbie, "what do you think? If someone thinks someone else is hot, should that someone not act upon that feeling just because they dumped someone two days previously?" The blond was now completely confused, 'who are all these someones, and why was Cook dating a Panda'. She burst out laughing at the thought of Cook holding hands with a Panda, receiving puzzled looks from the rest of the gang.

Emily sighed, "right, whatever, I'm leaving, it's after four anyway, I should be getting home. You coming Katie?"

"Nope, way too high, plus mum thinks I'm staying with Eff tonight."

Emily shrugged and began making her way out from under the bleachers, frowning as she went.

She was half way across the football pitch before she heard her name being called. "Ems, wait up!".

The blond came running towards her in a rather sluggish manner 'obviously way too much weed' Emily thought to herself as she continued to walk at her original pace, not slowing down to allow the blond to catch up.

"Emily, did you not hear me calling", the taller girl grabbed her arm making her stop. She shrugged. "What's up? I was only having a laugh?"

"Nothing, it's just... never mind it's silly" Emily began to walk away once again.

"Stop" Naomi stepped in front of the petite girl, "I'm sorry if I upset you by kissing Cook, Panda – that's her name right – is obviously one of your good friends, so if it makes you uncomfortable, I won't."

"Thanks." She smiled. Although, that wasn't the real reason why Emily didn't want the blond kissing Cook, but if she chose to believe that then what was the problem.

The atmosphere became a little awkward after this; they spent what seemed like an eternity standing looking at one another, Emily thought, but in reality it was no more than a minute.

"Right, well like I said before, I've got to get home. So I'll see you around, yeah?" The red head began to walk away.

"See you tomorrow?" Naomi shouted towards her but received no reply. She hoped she hadn't blown it with her new friend.


She lay on her bed, eyes fixed on the ceiling, in deep thought. 'Argh, why can't I just be normal! Just be interested in girls as friends, and boys as, well more.' She sighed deeply. 'She obviously isn't interested in me, not like that anyway, otherwise she wouldn't be kissing guys, kissing Cook. Why does she need to be so beautiful and funny, why do I need to be attracted to her'. She stood up and began pacing the room. "Fuck sake, just stop" the red head spat to herself in anger at allowing these feelings to creep out. She knew she had always been attracted to girls, but it was always easy to just not act upon them. Living in a small town there was nobody to act upon them with, so it was easy just to put it to the back of her mind, easy until now. She kicked her wardrobe.

"Jesus, Emily, what are you doing" Katie asked staring at her sister puzzled as to why she would be kicking their furniture.

"Thought you were staying at Effys tonight" the younger twin deflected the question.

"No, I said mum thinks I'm staying at Effys tonight. Was at Freddies, but came home cause he's so out his face. Listen in future, yeah."

"Yeah", the red head sat back on her bed satisfied that she could manipulate her sister sometimes, "So, have a good night?" she continued.

"It was alright, you know how it is. That Naomi girl's alright after all, has some interesting stories".

"Yeah, she does", she sighed at the thought of Naomi making friends with her sister. For once Emily had thought someone would like her more because she had gotten to know them first, but, guess not. 'Always the bride's maid, never the bride'; that was the perfect way to describe her and her sisters' relationship; always second best.

"Anyway, we invited her to the party tomorrow night; she says she can get us some MDMA".

"Is that right?" The red head now bored of the conversation, 'maybe Naomi isn't as interesting and as funny and as... beautiful as first thought, maybe she'll get on better with Katie anyway, most people do'.

"Yeah, and Cook says he likes her, so next time, don't interrupt, okay?" The eldest twin droned on.

Emily frowned, "Uh, please Katie, Cook just wants into her knickers so he can say he's been the first to sleep with the new girl, like that boy actually cares about anything else other than where he'll be dipping his cock this weekend." She retorted, "Anyway, Panda's a friends, we should care about how she might feel!"

"Ems, Pandora's already moved on, moved on to Thomas. So now you shouldn't care who Cook wants to do right? Right Emily?" She pushed.

The younger twin was defeated, she didn't have an excuse now – "Guess not".
