fuck you, peachy | skins

22. Naomi

The toast pops and Ayla drags her feet over the sticky kitchen tiles. Its 5:08 am and Ayla couldn't get back to sleep so she had decided to make some breakfast and get some homework done. Keiran had started checking their progress every day so she thought it was time to finally get on top of her work.

After spreading a thick layer of marmalade over both pieces of toast, Ayla slides open the back door and sits herself down outside on the back lawn, her legs crossed and a notepad beside her ready to work.

The way in which we view the world varies across individuals. describe the world YOU live in and how it has shaped your behaviour.

Ayla turns her nose up at thinking about her behaviour and takes a bite of her toast. Marmalade reminded her of year 5, which reminded her of JJ, which reminded her of Freddie, which reminded her of Co...

"What the fuck are you doing?" Katie asks, sliding the screen door open and stepping out onto the lawn next to Ayla. Katie had obliterated Ayla's train of thought.

"Trying to work" replies Ayla, not looking up at her. Katie shuffles her weight around for a few moments as if she wants to talk about something.

"Emily's out again," she says finally. Ayla writes the date in the top right-hand corner of the page, making herself feel like she is being decently constructive.

"Yeah, she spent the night at Naomi's"

"I don't like Naomi"

"No way!" Ayla says sarcastically. She looks up at Katie, who looks a mixture of mad and upset.

"You don't get it. You don't dislike Naomi"

In actual fact, Ayla wasn't too sure about Naomi but wasn't about to tell Katie that as she would surely tell Emily. She didn't want to make Emily any more upset than she seemed to be these days.

"Maybe you just don't like her cos she's gay"

"No it's not that... its the fact that she's a muff-munching"

"Minge mauling, pussy pounding, fuck faced dyke" Ayla finishes her sentence for her, calmly getting up and walking towards the house, prepared to finish her homework inside. "All about her sexuality Katie. All of it"

Ayla trudges glumly over to Naomi's. It was a fair hike from the Fitch household but Ayla wanted to walk Emily to school and hopefully begin to mend things between the two of them. Ayla had been completely neglecting Emily as of late as she wasn't sure how to feel about Naomi and did not want to say anything which would hurt Emily. One of the main reasons Ayla didn't like Naomi was because of the sexual tension between Naomi and Cook. Not only did it make her uncomfortable but most importantly she knew that if anything happened between the two and Emily found out, she would be devastated.

Ayla knocks on the door.

"Oh, hello!" exclaims Keiran, as he flings open the door with nothing but a pair of boxes on. Ayla isn't that surprised, knowing what Naomi's mum was like.

"Ummmm..... is Emily here?"

"Ermmmmmmmm....." says Keiran looking back over his shoulder as Naomi storms up behind him, barging past him.

"Hi, Ayla" Naomi smiles, about to slam the door on Keirans face before Ayla stops her, pulling her homework out of her bag.

"Wait. I may as well give you this now," she says, passing her work over to Keiran who nods in thanks before Naomi slams the door in his face without looking at him.

"My mum fucks everyone. It's embarrassing. The bloody pervert even tried to make a move on me at school the other day" Naomi rolls her eyes, walking speedily down the front steps without looking at Ayla and flinging her bag over her shoulder.
