Skins: Season 3

Cook

"Why the fuck did I say yes to this crap?" I ask sitting on Effy's bed, smoking a spliff and waiting until Effy's done straightening my hair.

"Cook's birthday party or me fixing your hair?" Effy asks taking spliff from me.

"Both probably"

"Done"

"I look terrible" I say looking in the mirror.

"But that's not because of your hair" Effy says while she puts straigthener down "It's because of your face"

When I want to responde to her, doorbell rings.

"It's probably girls" I say and get disgusted of how excited I am "I'll get it" I yell and get downstairs.

"I'm sorry. We're looking for Stonem house; could you tell us where it is?" Katie asks when I open the door.

"Katie, what's wrong with you?" I lean a bit closer to her.

"Sophie?"

"No. Queen of Great Fucking Britain" I say and Emily chuckles.

"You look different"

"I look horrible" I say touching my straight hair.

"No. You look beautiful" Emily says and I smile sweetly at her.

"I'm leaving" I yell and close the door behind me "Let's wait for Effy"

"Where's Pandora? Wasn't she here like a second ago?" Emily asks.

"She's probably with Effy"

"Sometimes I don't even understand what that girl is talking about" Katie complains.

"You're not the only one" I light up a cigarette "Want one?" I ask Katie and Emily. They both shake their heads so I just put my cigarettes back in my jacket pocket.

"Did you get anything for Cook?" Katie asks. I didn't even thought about getting him anything.

"Shit" I swear but then remember that Effy didn't get anything to Cook either "Did you get anything?"

"I have a cake" Emily says and I want to laugh because that's the last thing I would've thought she could get him "I baked it..."

"Whatever" Katie interrupts her.

"Hey, Katie" After like two minutes of waiting I say "Could you like go and check on them?"

"Sure" Katie disappears in the house.

"Let's run" I grab Emily's hand and we start running. We stop near a pub where Cook must be celebrating his birthday. "I think I'm dying" I try to catch my breath.

Emily laughs and tries to catch her breath as well.

Me and Emily are standing by the pub and waitting for other girls to show up. We were waiting for like five minutes until they got here. Emily is way more interesting than Katie which doesn't surprise me at all.

"You ran away" Effy whispers in my ear "I had to talk to Katie all the way"

"I hope you enjoyed it" I say and she pinches my arm "Let's get this party started" I say when Katie walks in the pub.

"Jeez" I say under my breath when we walk in a small pub with some shitty birthday decorations. They look sweet but still shit.

"Guys. Guys. Hey baby" Cook says and touches Effy's head. I want to laugh so badly but Effy starts looking at me like she wants to kill me. I walk towards JJ and Freddie.

"Hi" He says.

"Hi"

"I'm seventeen today" Cook says and Effy looks at me standing next to Freddie like she knows something I don't "If partying is a crime. Who's gonna get arrested first? Let's go mental!!!" He yells and starts drinking his beer but spills the most part of it on his shirt.
