This is my first High School fic, so I don't know if it's good. Reviews are appreciated. If you give me a suggestion, I'll try to work it in. I'm going to include all ships, although I'm a Jater. Let me know if it's worth continuing.

Disclaimer: Character's aren't mine.

Kate ran down the halls of Oceanic High. She was late for homeroom and her teacher had said that if she was late again she would get another detention. She didn't really mind detention, she talked to Sawyer the whole time. Sawyer was always in detention. He was tried to be really annoying all the time, constantly flirting with Kate, but she didn't really mind it. The detention teacher, Bernard, didn't care if they talked, so the time passed quickly. No one knew why, but Bernard and his wife Rose always asked the children to call them by their first names. Anyway, although Kate didn't mind detention she knew Wayne wouldn't be happy if she got it again. He never wanted her at the house, but he got mad if she got detention. She didn't understand him at all.

She got to homeroom seconds before the bell rang. She walked through the door to Room 815 and slid into her seat between Jack and Claire.

"Hi", whispered Jack. Their teacher, Mr West, was taking attendance, and he got very angry if people talked during it.

"Hey", Kate whispered back. She looked around at her class. Shannon and Boone were arguing about something, but that was normal. Ana Lucia was yelling at Sawyer. He probably called her Ana Lulu again, Kate thought. Sawyer caught her gaze and smirked at her, and Kate smiled back.

Kate looked to her right and saw that Charlie was trying to get Claire's attention. She tapped Claire on the shoulder and pointed over to Charlie, who grinned at Claire. They had been going out for about a month and everyone thought they were adorable together. Claire smiled and waved back, and Charlie looked very happy with himself.He had liked Claire for a long time, and now that he finally had her, it didn't take much to make him happy.

At the table behind Kate, Hurley was telling Libby about his new job at a fast food restaraunt. Mr Cluck's or something like that. Kate couldn't remember the name because she hardly ever ate there, being a vegetarian. Libby looked very impressed, but Kate knew she was just glad that Hurley was happy.

Jin and Sun, the foreign exchange students from Korea, were talking very fast in their native language. Sun spoke English, and Kate was friendly with her, but no one knew Jin very well because he could only speak Korean. Michael sat next to them talking to Sun every once in a while, but stopping after gettng jealous glares from Jin.

Gazing around the room one last time, Kate saw Sayid step in and try to break up Shannon and Boone's fight. It didn't look like he was succeeding.

Mr West was finally done taking attendance and allowed them to talk for the rest of homeroom.

"So Kate, how was your weekend?" asked Jack.

"You mean Sunday, the only day I wasn't with you?" Kate replied, making Jack laugh. Friday Claire and Charlie had made them go on a double date with them.Jack and Kate weren't a couple, but they were friends, maybe even a little bit more. It had been a good time though,because Jack and Kate enjoyed each other's company. On Saturday Kate, Jack, Claire, Charlie, and Hurley had gone to the mall together. There was a dance coming up, and they all needed clothes for it. The boys hadn't enjoyed the shopping trip much, and to be honest neither had Kate. However, they needed to look, although only the boys had found clothes. Kate and Claire would have to look for dresses again.

"You didn't seem to mind being with me Kate. If I remember correctly, you wouldn't let Claire split us up at the mall", Jack said with a smile.

"I just didn't want to be alone with her. She's crazy when she's shopping." Kate replied.

"Sure Kate, you know you would have missed me", Jack said playfully.

"Of course. I can't bear to be away from you! You're my everything, Jack!" She joked.They both laughed. Sawyer must have heard them, because just then he called from the other side of the room.

"Keep it down over there! We don't need to hear you proclaim your love for each other! I'd like to keep my breakfast down, thanks" He said with a slight smirk.

Kate and Jack both laughed."Sorry, Sawyer." Kate said with a grin just as the bell rang for first period. "Come on, sweetie, we dont't want to be late." She said jokingly to Jack, getting a scowl from Sawyer. Kate laughed and waved to him as they walked out of the classroom.
