The Story of Maggie Stonem ||Skins||

💫Chapter 2💫

As we got into the hall, we sat down on the second row, just before a hoard of students piled into the hall, trying to find seats with friends. Pandora started talking about some rubbish that Effy and Maggie couldn't understand, and when this happened, and it happens a lot, we just choose to ignore her and nod along as if we understand and agree.

Just as Effy was gonna say something, Maggie noticed out of the corner of her eye, that the boys we saw earlier had appeared in the hall, and sat behind us to the left slightly. Maggie turned her head and gave them a small smile then turned back around to see Effy smirking at her younger sister.

"Trying to have eye sex on the first day. Tut tut tut, Maggie." Effy said.

Maggie giggled. "Not as good as actual sex though sadly."

"Hey." Effy said, as she turned to her younger sister.

"Okay. Sex on the first day. As good as actual sex though gladly." Maggie said, as she turned to her older sister.

Before we could joke any longer, the introduction assembly began.

"Welcome to Roundview College. A meeting place for young people." This automated voice played on the speakers before the head of college and the other teachers and lecturers spoke.

"Attention! Pay attention, look at you!" He said.

"Thank you, Doug. Welcome to Roundview College. We are a designated four star educational establishment under the National We're All In It Together Initiative leading to Ultimate Improvement status. Anyone who screws that up will be officially burnt at the stake." She was a short woman, 40s-50s, short brown-black hair above her shoulders and a hideous dress that looked worse than Theresa May.

"And expelled." Doug said.

She then continued. "Yes, and expelled. God help you all, you're gonna get some qualifications. Any questions?" Nobody asked any questions so she got on with the groups.

"Last year, we had some intolerable incidents so, I want to make this easy for you. The following will result in instant expulsion - smoking on the premises, setting fire to the premises, consumption of alcohol on the premises, consumption of drug on the premises, consumption of pornography on the premises, teacher abuse, glue abuse, self abuse, sеxual intercourse with any other student, teacher or animal or combination of the above including oral sеx and/or use of sеx toys, on the premises." She said after her speech, where everybody was either falling asleep or high. Everyone just nodded, going along with it as if at least one rule hadn't been broken before walking in this hall today.

"She is crazy." Maggie nodded.

"Yeah." Effy said.

"Miss Reedy, our new head of communications." She introduced, and lifted her arm as if to summon her, which Miss Reddy, an anxious looking woman, complied. "Miss Reedy is joining us from... Where are you joining us from?" She then waited for Miss Reddy to answer.

"Um, I had some time off. Seven years. It was stress-related but feeling a bit better now, hopefully..." Miss Reedy stuttered nervously.

"Oh, Christ." The woman muttered.

"Form BD1, say your name, please, when I... Put your hands up, please, when I call your, erm, name." Miss Reedy then started listing off a bunch of names including two out of three of the teens that she had seen at the burger van.

"Emily Fitch?" Miss Reddy asked the doormat twin who looked chilled out and the nerdier raised her hand.

"Katie Fitch?" Miss Reddy asked the bitchier two who had the mug of an older boyfriend raised her hand, looking triumphant for doing something so simple.
