Hannah's Pov

Living in Emmerdale isn't always as it seems, one day everyone could be getting on extremely well, the next their going be arguement coming from every angle you look.

Let me introduce myself to you all, I'm Hannah, Hannah Macie Barton but literally everyone calls me Annie which I prefer; I'm 15 Years old and I have four best friends, Matilda Sugden; she's 16 she's literally only two weeks older than me which means my birthday is in one week four days. My next best friend is Sophie Barton, she's technically my cousin but dad and uncle Ross adopted her so she's also my sister, Sophie is 15, she's younger than me by almost a year if she was born earlier then she would be in the same year as Matilda and I but she's not. Then theirs Liv who's 16 and Gabby who is also 16.

Matilda and I both love photography we model for each other and also take pictures of countless of different things while Sophie and I both love dancing we choreograph dance's to songs from the charts and we love to have fun. Moving on today is Sunday which means back to school tomorrow, it also means got dodgeball after school tomorrow, Tilly, Soph, Liv and Gabby all come dodgeball with me, we always make sure we're on the same team but if we're not we aim to get each other out.

"Come on Annie! We will miss the bus" I soon heard Sophie call from the other side of our bedroom door, Dad and Uncle Ross had some work done on the house and knocked two bedrooms into one making Sophie and I's room one massive room which we love especially the fact that dad hung a curtain along the middle of the room so we also have our own privacy.

"Give me five minutes Soph!" I called back slipping my black high tops on which completed my outfit. We were going into town with Tilly, it's something we do quite often, sometimes Liv and Gabby join us but most of the time it's just the three of us.

"Hurry up!" I heard Sophie shout again, I rolled my eyes as I laced my shoelaces up. As soon as my shoes were laced up I grabbed my handbag and opened the door, I was wearing a pair of denim shorts with a white tank top since we are in a middle of a heatwave which hardly ever happens in the UK.

"You took your time" Sophie grinned in a teasing manner, playfully I slapped my cousin as we made our way down the stairs to make our way to meet Tilly at the bus stop. We said goodbye to uncle Ross since dad had already left, both Sophie and I left the house and began walking down the side of the road as we got close to the bus stop Tilly waved towards us.

"Now we wait at the bus stop for a week" Sophie grumbled once we stopped next to Tilly.

"Be real Soph, we will be waiting here for eternity" I grinned, I watched as Sophie and Matilda both rolled their eyes.

"Hey I saw that" I frowned as I acted hurt.

"Awh we love you really Annie" Tilly smiled throwing her arms around me as Sophie laughed at our randomness, Tilly May be 16 and I may be 16 in a few weeks but we do act like little children at times, I mean what's the point of growing up to fast when you can act young and be yourself for as long as possible

"Your one weird girl" Tilly joked with a grin on her face.

"Let's hope we don't see Jennifer and Courtney in town, they were so annoying Friday" Sophie reminded us about Friday lunchtime when Jennifer and Courtney wouldn't leave Sophie or I alone. Eventually the bus came and we got on and began the journey to town where I  indeed spot Jennifer and Courtney. We were in for it now when Jennifer and Courtney spotted us getting off the bus. I stopped dead in my tracks in the middle of the sidewalk causing Matilda and Sophie to both walk into the back of me.

"Annie, what's up?" Matilda asked me as the pair of us moved to the side so people could walk past us, I glanced over to Sophie who's eyes were wide open in shock and maybe a little fear.

"Oh look it's tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dee" Courtney laughed at her own joke when Jennifer didn't; Courtney nudged Jennifer causing her to fake laugh. I sensed Matilda role her eyes.

"Go back to the farm; where all pigs come from" Tilly bravely stuck up for us while I grabbed both Sophie and Matilda's hands.

"Awh is Little Barton and Little cousin Barton scared" Jennifer asked in such a winey voice as Courtney snorted like a pig as she laughed. Both Jennifer and Courtney were wearing extremely revealing clothes and were smoking only god knows what it was, it certainly didn't smell like tobacco, I just hoped Sophie and I didn't smell of it because I was sure dad and uncle Ross would go mad, they've always told us that if we ever deal with drugs or even come home smelling of drugs then we'd be in serious trouble.

"I said leave it!" Matilda spoke strongly as she stepped forward before I immediately pulled her back to my side where I gave her a look as if I was saying 'don't stoop to their level' I wasn't sure if she understood but I knew what I was saying but before I knew it I saw Matilda nod her head. Courtney had her arm linked with Jennifer as she glanced down at the joint she was smoking and smirked.

"Go in little Barton, I dare you" Courtney smirked as she held the joint right in my face, I stepped back a little as I tried to hold My breath not wanting to breath any of the smoke in.

"Pathetic" Jennifer scoffed as they both flicked their joints towards us and shoved past us to get on the bus.

"Uncle Pete and Ross are going to kill us" Sophie sighed as we walked away from the joints, only time would tell about how Dad and uncle Ross would act when they smell the joint but I was sure it wasn't going to end well.
