Friendship Made in France

I own nothing of or associated with Skins. But that doesn't mean I can't love it right? =D

Chapter One- Diggings in the Forest

So here we are... finally! After a fucking twelve hour car journey, Jesus. We drove from Bristol all the way over to France. It wasn't too bad the twins have every electronic gadget imaginable. I shouldn't complain though, It's beautiful. We're staying in this big wooden house nestled between all these big black mountains. Well they're black at the moment, it's raining. We drive all the way from a pretty sunny Bristol to here where it's raining! Ha ironic hey?

So I've come on holiday with Katie and her family, Rob, Jenna, James and Emily. They don't seem too bad. Jenna's over enthusiastic about everything but chills out on a glass of wine! Rob's hilarious and a real adventure man. James is cute, a bit pervy though. And Emily, she seems pretty cool. Katie always complains about her but she seems like a good laugh. So why Katie I hear you ask? I suppose she's my best friend but we're not even that close. You see I have loads of friends, well no, I know loads of people but they're more acquaintances. I can put up with them in school and stuff but there not entertaining. I sit and chat with them but just get so bored. Katie's different though, we don't really talk. We're both pretty active. We walk, swim, shop, climb. Hence why we're on an activities holiday. We get along pretty well and just seem to share a common interest in most things.

Me and Katie are just unpacking some stuff in our room now. We're sharing and Emily's just across the hall. Rob and Jenna are right at the top of the house and James crashing out on the middle floor. The house is bloody massive! There's a knock on the door.

"Come on ladies we're going to explore!"

Rob shouts as he grabs a coat and ties his walking boots. Five minutes later everybody's booted and zipped up in their Macs to go explore. As we walk along me and Katie fall behind, James runs ahead and Rob and Jenna are holding hands. Emily's just left walking on her own listening to her IPod. She's wearing a really cute floral Mac and I can't help but smile and beckon her over as she slips on the wet forest undergrowth. Katie gives me a "What the Fuck" glare as Emily falls into step beside me. Me and Emily are chatting away happily whilst Katie's taking photos (for some art project she's doing) when we get to a really boggy bit. Katie holds my hand and I hold mine out to Emily to help her across. She takes it and I can't help feeling a little dig of excitement in my stomach. Huh?!? What's that meant to mean? I banish the thought from my mind and struggle my way over with Katie and Emily supporting me on each side.

Finally muddy and cold we get back to the house. Rob tells us all to strip down in the hallway so as not to spread crap through the house. God, they're not an embarrassed family are they?! Down come the trousers and off come the t-shirts. I'm staring! I'm gazing at Emily as she's undressing! What's got into me all of a sudden? I rid myself of my sopping clothes as modestly as possible before practically sprinting into my room to change.

Katie and I spend a couple of minutes showering and changing into our PJ's. Before joining everybody for dinner. Emily's sat there hair dripping onto her barely covered chest. Her PJ's are tiny and very thin. She sees me staring and complains about the cold before going to put on a hoodie. Great Naomi, now who's the pervert!
