Disclaimer: I don't own LOST.
A/N: Kind of a short chapter here. Sorry for not updating sooner!
Jack and Kate walked outside and Kate sat down on a bench while Jack bent down to look at her foot.
"I don't think it's broken."
"How do you know this stuff?" Kate asked.
"My dad is a doctor." Jack set Kate's foot down and sat down next to her.
"That's
cool."
"What does your dad do?" Jack asked.
Kate shrugged and looked down. "I don't really know."
"Do you think you're okay now?"
Kate smiled. "Why are you being so nice to me?"
Jack blushed. "I don't know. I just want to make sure you're okay." He stood up and Kate followed him back into the classroom.
"Kate's foot isn't broken." Jack reported as soon as he got in the room.
Rose smiled. "I'm glad."
They walked back over to their spots on the floor while the kids whispered to each other.
"Hi." Ben grinned at the blonde next to him.
Juliet stared at him, her blonde hair hanging in her eyes. "What?"
"I'm Ben."
"I know."
Ben frowned, and turned to Sayid, shrugging.
Sayid glanced at Juliet and back at Ben. "I think she likes you."
"Ew!"
"What?"
"Girls are gross!"
"No they're not." Sayid gave up on Ben and turned to John, who was staring at the ceiling. "What are you thinking about?"
John looked at Sayid. "I'm thinking about dogs. I like dogs."
"Okay.."
"So you're okay then?" James smirked at Kate, secretly hoping she was okay.
"Yeah she's okay. No thanks to you." Jack retorted.
"Why don't you shut up bug boy."
"Bug boy?" Jack asked.
"Yeah, your eyes. They're huge like bugs' eyes are." James explained.
"I don't like you." Jack frowned.
"Okay kids, it's snack time." Rose told them.
Everyone stood up and went to the tables. The tables were short, with four chairs around it. Each table was a different color, red, yellow, blue, and green. Charlie, Claire, and Hugo sat at the yellow table. Jack, Kate, James, and Juliet sat at the red table, and Ben, Sayid, and John sat at the green one.
Kate stared at the blonde that was sitting across from her. "So how old are you?" Kate asked.
Juliet looked at her. "I'm five. How old are you?"
"Five." Kate turned to Jack, who was sitting next to her. "How old are you?"
"Five."
Kate looked at James who was sitting next to Juliet.
"I'm almost seven."
"Seven?" Jack, Kate, and Juliet exclaimed.
"I didn't pass kindergarten the first time, so what?"
Kate's eyes widened. "How does it feel to be almost seven?"
James started to answer before he stopped and thought about it, and then he started to smile. "It's great. You get to do a lot that you don't get to do when you're five."
"Like what?" Juliet asked.
"You get to eat whatever you want, and you can watch whatever you want on tv."
"I already do that." Hugo said from the other table.
James glared at him but before he could continue Rose interrupted them. "I've got fruit snacks for you today." She passed out the snacks to each of the kids,
"I hate fruit snacks." Sayid said sadly.
"Why not? They're so juicy!" Ben exclaimed, his eyes wide.
"How long is it until you turn seven James?" Kate asked, curious.
James opened up his fruit snacks and pretended to be more interested in it than in Kate's question.
"Six months." James said softly.
Jack laughed. "You're six and a half?"
"That's still older than you bug boy."
Jack immediately shut up and munched on his snack.
