fuck you, peachy | skins

3. Everyone

Ayla rumbles through her tote bag propping it up against her locker as she organises her books and papers for her first lesson. Emily and Katie had gone to get some food from the canteen and had planned to meet Ayla outside their first class which they all shared.

She sneezes from the perfume being sprayed around her and her eyes wander to the end of the hall where JJ, Cook and Freddie stand watching the myriad of girls freshen up for their first class; putting lotion on their chests, pulling up their stockings, reapplying lipstick with a pout on their lips, it was all too much for the boys and the three looked like they were going to start frothing at the mouth.

Ayla watches as Cook's eyes wander down the hallway and to where she is standing. He bounces down the hallway towards her with an excited grin and his hands in his pockets. JJ and Freddie don't follow him, rather watching the two of them from a distance.

"Hey, peachy," he says brushing her cheek.

"Hey, Cook" she replies bluntly, smiling politely and turning away from him to look in the locker mirror as she begins bunching her hair up into a high ponytail.

"JJ and your sister have told me a thing or two about you" he smirks leaning his head against the lockers and looking at Ayla through the mirrors reflection. Ayla had already assumed Katie had told Cook and his mates about how she's fucked a few older boys and although she had seen JJ whispering to Cook during assembly she had no idea what JJ told him. Her hair gets tangled in her large hoop earrings and Cook untangles it with ease.

"I'm quite pissed about my sister telling people everything about me, but I'm confused because JJ wouldn't have had anything interesting to tell you. I dated him in year five and that's it."

"JJ just said it was obvious you were a sex freak even in year five" chuckles Cook in amusement. She turns around to face him, her face inches from his only now realising how close he was  standing to her.

"You're foul and I don't see why it's any of your business."

"Peachy, it will very soon be my business."

"I don't do that kinda stuff anymore Cookie" she replies calmly her jaw tightening as she looked at him. "So good luck with making it your business" she continued, drawing herself away from him and flinging her bag over her shoulder.

The three sisters wait patiently outside the classroom as Effy approaches them solemnly followed by Pandora. Ayla had met Panda at a rave she had gone to early last year with Tony. A tall blonde boy walks up to the group of girls looking Katie up and down.

"Woah," she says looking at Katie's tits as she smiles.

"Hi. I'm Katie" she says flicking her hair off her shoulder and looking up at him.

"I'm Bruno and what do you know. Hang on. Who's your friend?" he asks looking towards Effy. Pandora barges in front of him thinking he was talking to her.

"Pandora. Woah you're a corker" she says excitedly. He pulls back alarmed, his eyes widened.

"Ummm thanks. It's nice to uhhh... I've gotta go" he says walking off speedily with his hands in his pockets. Pandora's face drops.

"Do you think he'd do surf and turf with me Eff?" she asks turning to face Effy, a smile spread across her face once more.

"I'll ask" Effy replies ever as blunt as ever as she looks over to Ayla and smiles.

"I've got to go. Lesson one; practical skills. Filing our nails, handy." Pandora says smiling at Effy before turning to face Ayla and Emily. "I'm Pandora, I'm useless," she introduces herself happily before walking off to her class. Ayla waves goodbye to her gently. It's silent for a moment before Katie turns her back on her sisters to face Effy.
