Right I did the most idiotic thing ever and deleted this story by accident! Lucky enough the first few chapters I had printed out so I am re-writing it again. However the last chapters I'm going to have to rewrite so I'm sorry if there not the same as the previous ones! I'm an idiot all in all. So here it is the first chapter. I may change bits to make it better but other than that the first chapters should be the same! Enjoy!

First Day

She walked up the corridors of her new school. She looded down at her piece of paper 'locker 67'. She walked down looking at each locker 65…66…67! She stopped and opened the locker.

"Hi" Kate turned around to see a blonde haired girl.

"Hi" Kate replied

"Your new here? Well I'm Claire" she smiled holding out her hand

"Yeah! I'm Kate" She smiled back

"So you need someone to show you around?" Claire grinned

"Yeah if you don't mind"

"Of course not! I know what its like to be new, I was new once. You see I'm from Australia. If it weren't for my friends I think I would never of survived" Claire explained "So where you from?"

"Iowa! But I came to LA to live with my dad. My mum had cancer and passed away so here I am" Kate stated

"Oh I'm so sorry!" Claire exclaimed

Claire and Kate talked a bit then when the bell went they went to there lessons. Lucky for Kate she was in most of Claires classes for the day. They both walked into math's laughing.

"Claire!" a dark haired boy called over to them.

Claire and Kate made there way over to the boy.

"Hey Jack, this is Kate she's new so I invited her to hang with us is that okay?" Claire told him

"Of course have a seat Kate" He smiled God she's pretty! Jack thought as she took a seat.

Claire filled Jack in about Kate. They sat there talking for a bit until the teacher walked in and they started there work. Kate couldn't really keep her mind on her work because she kept looking at Jack. God he's really nice! I hope I get to know him better! Oh I wonder If he's got a girlfriend? I'll have to ask Claire. Kate was brought out of her thought by the bell. They put the books away and left. Kate was making her way to science when she heard someone call her name. She turned to find Jack running up to her.

"Hey Jack" Kate smiled

"Hey what lesson you got now?" Jack asked her. Please let her have science with Mrs Rose!

"Erm Science with Mrs Rose" Kate told him looking at her schedule

""Me too! I'll walk with you, if that's okay?" Jack stated nervously

"Sure" Kate smiled I'd love you too!

"So how's your first day going so far?" Jack asked trying to make conversation

"Good. Especially now that I know where I'm going" Kate replied. Even better because I met you! She smiled to herself

"Good! You got to meet the rest of the gang at break" Jack smiled

"Erm…sure" Kate smiled unsure. What if they don't like me?

As if Jack could read her mind "You'll get along fine believe me. But be careful of Sawyer. He has a thing abouts girls" he better not try anything with her or I'll kill him! Jack thought.

They arrived at science and Kate sat at the back with Jack. All though out the lesson they talked and joked around. Jack helped Kate out with things she didn't know. Kate was really getting to know Jack and she liked what she knew; as was Jack. The more he learnt about Kate the more he liked her. They walked out of science laughing and headed to the field where Kate would meet the rest of the 'gang' as Jack put it. She was a bit nervous but Jack kept reassuring her telling her she'd be fine. They reached the group of friends and Claire stood up and hugged Kate hello. Then another blonde girl got up and walked over to Kate.

"Hi I'm Shannon. Right I love to shop and am I complete girl. However I don't let anyone pick on me. So I'm a tuff girl too" Shannon smiled

Next a dark coloured boy came up "I'm Sayid. Unlike Shannon I'm into football and I'm on the school football team with Jack and Sawyer" He pointed to Jack and a blonde haired boy.

This must have been his cue because he walked up and said "well hello. Now what do we have here a pretty little corn-fed girl"

"You must be Sawyer then! Jack told me about your little tricks and just because I'm a corn-fed girl, as you put it, I am not blind to your tricks cowboy" Kate said giving Sawyer a sweet smiled. Sawyer was slightly stunned by this.

"Ok I like this girl! If she can put Sawyer in his place on her first day I like her!" Another boy said walking up behind Sawyer. He had an English accent "Hi names Charlie. I like music and unlike the other boys hate sports" he smiled

All through lunch everyone talked and got to know eachother better. Then when the bell went they all got up and started to head to there next lessons.

Jack walked up behind Kate and said "Told you so"

This made Kate jump"Hu?"

Jack smiled "I told you that they'd like you! And Shannon seems to really like the way you handle Sawyer"

Kate laughed "yeah or maybe its because she wants to persuade me to go shopping with her. Claire tells me its hell shopping with her and I'm not one for shopping"

Jack laughed "Yeah well that makes you the perfect candidate for Shannon's challenge"

Kate was confused now "Challenge?"

"Yeah. You see you hate shopping so she'll make you go with her shopping. She'll make you buy loads of clothes and then when you're done she'll sort out all the clothes and make about 20 different outfits. Then she'll tell you when to wear them" Jack smiled at Kate's reaction

"Great!" Kate stated sarcastically "Guess I better get it over and done with"

Jack laughed at her attitude. The rest of the day for Kate went pretty smoothly. She had made some great friends and all her lessons seemed to be going good. She'd even been asked to go for pizza after school with the gang which she happily accepted. Now it was the end of the day and she was walking home with Claire and Shannon because the boy's had football practice.

"So, Kate what you think about your first day?" Claire asked

"It was good. I don't think I would have survived if I hadn't met you Claire. Thanks for everything" Kate smiled

"No problem. And it wasn't just me Jack helped a lot" Claire grinned

"Talking of Jack, he seems to like you" Shannon joined the conversation

"What? Yeah he's nice but surely a guy like Jack has a girlfriend?" Kate asked

"Nope. He's single and he likes you! Don't deny it we've known him longer. We know when he likes someone and he really likes you. I don't think he spent that much time with one girl since Sarah" Shannon replied

"Who's Sarah?" Kate questioned

""She's Jack's Ex! She's a complete tart" Shannon exclaimed

"She and Jack were going out for a while until she found out she was cheating on him. So he broke up with her and he's been sort of different ever since until today. He seems to be back to his old self." Claire smiled

"She sounds like a bitch. Who could ever do that to Jack? He's so sweet and kind and handsome." It came out before she could stop it

"Oh my God! You like him!" Shannon squealed

"No I don't" Kate argued. Shannon gave her that look 'don't lie to me look' and Kate gave in "Okay maybe a little" at this both Shannon and Claire squealed "But you can't tell him. Anyway I want to get to know him better"

"We won't" Shannon smiled

They reached Kate's house and said there goodbyes and exchanged phone numbers. When Shannon and Claire were on there own Shannon said "We won't tell him but it wouldn't help if maybe we gave them a little help you know" She smiled

"Yeah a few pushes here and there wouldn't hurt and anyway Jack deserves someone like Kate. She's really nice" Claire said with a smile to match Shannon's

"Yeah I like her and it seems so do the boys" Shannon smiled and they made there way home.

When Kate closed her door her dad appeared out from the living room ""Hey hunni how was it?" Sam asked his daughter while giving her a hug.

"It was really good actually. I met some new people and this one boy called Jack he's really nice and I've been invited out with them tonight for pizza. Can I go?" Kate asked

"Of course! Wait do you know his last name" Same asked

"Err.. I think it was Jack Shepherd why?" Kate replied

"Oh, I know his parents good friends of mind actually. He's a really nice boy Kate" Sam smiled

"I know and he's sweet. He showed me around and everything. He even introduced me to his friends. But if it weren't for Claire I would never have met him" Kate smiled "Well I better start my homework. I don't want to be late to meet the gang" Kate said and then run up the stairs before her dad could ask any questions.

Sam watched her amused she'll do just fine here! He grinned to himself.

There you go the first chapter up! Enjoy !
