I haven't updated any of my stories in forever.

The following day, Jack met Kate at her locker.
"Hey," he got her attention.
"Hey," she turned to face him.
"What's your first period?" Jack asked, "I'll show you the way there."
"Uhh," Kate answered, "I've got Chemistry."
Jack smiled, "Me too. Follow me and I'll show you the way there."
The two of them started to leave when Sawyer came up to them.
"Hey Freckles," he said, "Wanna get it on?"
Kate raised her eyebrows, "Keep dreaming Sawyer."
Jack left, with Kate in tow as Sawyer watched from where he was and smirked, "You'll change your mind Freckles."
"Sorry about him," Jack said as they walked, "He's an ass."
Kate smiled, "I don't really mind."
The two reached the intended classroom and Jack took his seat next to his lab partner while Kate stood and waited to find out where she should sit.
When the whole class had arrived, the only seat left was the one by Claire, so Kate sat there.
"Hi," Claire introduced herself, "I guess we'll be lab partners. I'm Claire."
Kate smiled, "Kate. Have you lived here long?"
"Nah," Claire responded, "I actually just moved here from Australia last summer. Where are you from again?"
"Iowa."
"Ah, corn-fed girl," Claire smiled, "I'm sorry but, may I ask you something?"
"Yeah?" Kate responded.
"Are you a Gemini?"
Kate nodded.
"I thought so," Claire nodded, "You're passionate, mysterious . . . . You have all the qualities of a Gemini. Most people don't believe in that stuff. Astrology. But I find it really interesting."
Kate just smiled.
Later at lunch, Kate took her seat in between Claire and Jack. The two of them introduced them to the other people at their table. Charlie was next to Claire, and Boone, Shannon, Sayid, and Hurley were across from them.
"Hey Sweet cheeks," Sawyer shoved his way between Kate and Jack with a lunch tray, putting a chair between theirs and sitting in it.
Kate sighed, "Hey Sawyer."
Jack turned in his seat and glared, "Buzz off Sawyer."
Sawyer grinned, "No thanks Jackass."
"So," Kate but in, "Sayid, what classes are you taking?"
Kate's last class of the day was Algebra 2. The only seat left in that class just happened to be next to Sawyer.
"Well hey Freckles, "He said when she sat down next to him, "Had no idea you were stalkin' me."
"What are you talking about Sawyer?" Kate asked.
"Well you been in about half o' my classes."
"Yeah Sawyer," Kate responded sarcastically, "I asked them to change all my classes to match yours because I just want to be with you all the time."
"I knew it," Sawyer grinned, "I knew you'd want me."
Kate blushed but quickly covered it up and gave a nice eye roll to give her expression the effect she wanted.
"I saw that blush," Sawyer smirked.
Kate practically ran out of the classroom when the final bell rang. She went to her locker, trying desperately to forget about the emotions coursing through her that she didn't understand.
After a brief stop at her locker, she went to the motorcycle that she'd just unpacked that morning and drove home.
When she reached her house, she sighed upon seeing the truck out front. Taking a deep breath, she opened the door and then froze.
She saw Wayne. He was standing in the middle of their small kitchen and glaring at her.
Kate returned the look, "What?"
Wayne held up the remains of the bed sheet she'd torn up the previous night, and pointed to a spot on the kitchen floor. Kate looked at the spot and groaned internally, closing her eyes in mental pain.
On the floor was what Wayne called grits. It was a small pile consisting of small rocks, pieces of glass, and other tiny sharp and hard things.
Kate sighed and kneeled down on the pile, this time closing her eyes in physical pain as the grits cut into her knees.
"Now you stay there until I tell you otherwise," Wayne ordered.
Hours later, Kate was still in that position on the floor when the front door opened. It was her mother.
Kate looked up at her, pleading.
Diane looked at her daughter sympathetically. She looked like she was about to do something when Wayne walked into the room and looked pointedly at Kate before looking Diane in the eyes.
Diane gave her daughter one last look before heading up the stairs and leaving Kate where she was.
There you go. I hope you enjoyed it!! Please review!!
