Kate looked at Boone and then at Shannon, who she noticed had been following her everywhere lately, maybe she was jealous of her having a boyfriend.
"I have football practice now so I'll see you later." Said Boone kissing Kate on the cheek.
Shannon smirked as he walked away; she nudged Kate who looked sad and smiled at her. Kate was thinking about how it wasn't easy having the hottest guy in school for a boyfriend and Shannon was thinking about how it wasn't easy having the most popular girl in school for a best friend, and it didn't help that Kate was going out with her brother.
"Hey Shannon, why have you been really clingy lately?" Said Kate awkwardly.
"What!? Are you serious? I'm just looking out for you, I don't want my brother to hurt you…" Shannon lied.
"Oh…right, I was just wondering why you were always with me and Boone, it makes things kind of…well…awkward." Kate said looking at the floor.
Shannon looked at Kate and frowned, waiting for Kate to tell her that she was only joking. But there was no response, so shannon stormed down the corridor. Kate looked at Shannon wondering if she should go after her, but why should she? If she did apologise then Shannon would just follow her again.
"Hey sweet cheeks, how's about you and me go somewhere tonight? I hear there's a party in my pants." Said a familiar voice from behind Kate's open locker door.
"Sawyer, why don't you ask Charlie to go? I think he'd enjoy that more than anyone." Replied Kate slamming the locker shut and walking away leaving Sawyer standing with his mouth wide open.
Kate smiled to herself thinking about Sawyers reaction; she was so caught up in it that she didn't realise Locke standing in front of her so she walked right into him. He fell to the floor dropping his glasses in the process.
"Oh my God! I'm so sorry!" Said Kate helping him up.
"Hehe…its okay…honestly I'm fine…I er…gotta get to class." Whimpered Locke, running away.
Kate looked at him and wondered what his name was and why he was going to class it was the end of school. She continued walking down the corridor and saw Boone joggmng past with the rest of the team. She smiled at him but he didnt see her. Or maybe he was ignoring her because he was trying to look cool in front of his friends.
Kate looked at the floor and wondered if she really did have any true friends. Maybe she had just lost shannon because of a stupid little fight.At that moment a tall boy with glasses ran into her, kncking her to the floor.
"Oh my God!" Said Jack helping her pick up her books.
"It's okay, I guess I had it coming." She replied sighing.
Jack looked at her and realised who she was. This was the longest time he had ever spoken to a girl who wasnt related to him and his hands began to sweat uncontollably
"What's your name?" Kate said sweetly.
"It's em…it's Jack." He said grinning.
"Well hey Jack! I'm Kate!" She smiled at him and walked away.
Jack slouchet down on the floor and started calling himself stupid. Kate turned around and saw him hitting himself, she ran over to him and asked him what was wrong and he explainedthat whenever he talks to girls or more than two people at a time he gets really nervos and his palms start sweating.
"Jack that's nothing to be ashamed of! Do you want me to stoptalking to you?" She asked poliuely.
"No…I like it when people talk to me..." He replied.
