CHAPT. 1

"Will you just leave me the hell alone!" Shannon begged her step-brother Boone, after finally getting sick of him following her and nagging her.

"I'll leave if you promise to stay away from that Arab guy" he answered sternly.

"That Arab guy has a name Boone! His name is Sayid." this was getting old.

"I don't care if he's an Arab prince Shan, I dont want you around him."

"Look Boone, as much as you believe the contrary I'm not here to please you!" she said as she began walking the direction she was before. What she did not relize was that she was headed strait towards Sawyer.

"Howdy Sticks. What brings you over to my side of the island." he said in his southern accent giving her his trademark smirk.

"You now own half the island" she asked, still annoyed from her fight with her brother.

"Well, Sweetcheeks, I'd be happy to share it with you. Though I'd expect some--"

She cut him off "Shut it Sawyer"

Sawyer raised his hands in surrender. "Gee Sticks, Metro really pissed you off."

She gave a quiet laugh at his nickname for her brother.

"I'll say thats a yes" he continued. "But why don't he want you around Abdul?"

"Can we not talk about him, please?"

"Who, Pretty Boy? or the terrorist?" Sawyer asked, once again wearing his trademark smile.

"Well, I don't know any terrorists, but if your referring to Sayid then I'd have to say I don't want to talk about either of them"

He put him book that he'd been holding down, and stood up. "Well than lets talk about You" Then added. "And Mohammad" He put extra stress on the 'and.'

"What!" she looked a bit rattled. Was it really that obvious she liked him. And was there even a chance he liked her back. She regained her composure. "What the hell are you talking about? Me & Sayid." she stated like it was the most stupid thing she'd ever heard.

"Oh, then you'll go to Pillsbury's party with me tonight." Again with the dimpled grin, that she secretly loved. The grin was enough to make her want to say that she would definately go with him.

But she just stood there for a few minutes thinking. She hadn't thought much about the party; she planned on going but not with anyone. Especially not Sawyer.

Hesitantly she began to answer "Yeah, I mean no, I don't mind. Infact, that'd be great." She ran her hand through her hair, a giveaway that she was questioning what she was doing (either that or she just wanted her hair to look a little better.), and put a smile on her face even though she knew it didn't look convincing.

"Well alright then" Finally, a smile other than his cocky arrogant smirk. Then he added "Don't stand me up, Sticks."

"Don't worry, I won't." She said confidently and watched him walk away. Oh God, what was she getting herself into.
