The next day the class were greeted with a new boy at the front of their class. They sat down and began to discuss him as he stood and watched them.
"Now everybody" Their tutor said "This is Ethan Rom, and he will be joining your class, take a seat Ethan, just find a space"
"Thank you" He said, before sitting in the empty seat beside Claire, she looked at him curiously, but whipped around quickly as he looked at her.
At lunch time Sawyer, Jack, Kate, Sayid, Shannon, Boone, Charlie, Claire, Hurley and Libby were sat at a table in the canteen.
"So dudes" Hurley said "What do you think of that knew guy what, was is his name Ethan?"
"Well if your asking me deep dish" Sawyer said, getting restless of being inside "He's a little creepy"
"I agree" Claire said "I didn't like the way he sat with me today, he looked at me all funny" She said before shivering.
"You cant judge someone just by the first time you see them" Jack said.
"Ah yeah cause the hero just loves everybody" Sawyer drawled.
"You both have a point" Sayid said calmly "I must admit he seem slightly strange to me, but we cannot judge on first opinion"
The group soon settled back into normal conversation when Ethan came over.
"Can I sit here?" He asked them.
"Sure" Jack said and Ethan set down his tray.
"So" Ethan said "You guys entering the Soccer league?"
"Yeah" Sawyer said "What's it got to do with you?"
"Sawyer" Kate said, shooting him a warning look, which he ignored.
"Its ok" Ethan smiled "Just wondered what kinda team you guys had"
"You play?" Charlie asked him.
"Yeah" He replied.
"Well really we got Sawyer as the captain, me, Boone, Sayid, Jack and some other guys" Charlie said.
"Cool" Ethan replied.
"Uh guys" Charlie said standing up "I'm just going… to the loo's back soon"
"Bye" Claire said and the others waved as he left.
Charlie walked towards the toilets but walked right past and went outside through the back exit. He found a deserted corner and pulled a packet of cigarettes out of his pocket. Finding his lighter he flicked it until the flame sparked up, the light the cigarette and inhaled deeply. His eyes lit up as he blew out a cloud of smoke, he had been waiting all day for his next smoke.
"That's against the rules you know Charlie" He heard a voice behind him say, he quickly dropped the cigarette and turned around. It was Locke.
"Locke" he said.
"Yes its me" he said, quite amused that Charlie actually looked scared of him. "You really shouldn't do that to yourself you know Charlie"
"Yeah well, I need it Locke" He said, annoyed that he had been interrupted.
"You think you do Charlie, but trust me you don't" Locke said, with a knowing smile on his face.
Before Charlie could reply the school bell rang signalling the end of lunch break. They headed back to the classroom and everyone else had already arrived. The teacher took the register and they headed to their next lesson.
"Hey" Ethan said to Jack, as he had singled Jack out as someone who didn't fight him "Mind if I tag along to soccer practise tonight?"
"Uh… I don't mind" Jack said, sitting at his desk.
"Thanks" he said with a smile before taking a seat at the front of the room.
The rest of the day passed quite normally and then finally the bell rang for the end of the day.
"Locke" Charlie shouted, looking around to check no one had followed him.
"Yes Charlie?" He asked, turning around.
"Keep these for me?" He asked, passing Locke his packet of cigarettes. "I don't want to, but I need to, keep them so I cant, please?"
"You could do that yourself Charlie" Locked said "You don't need my help."
"Please" Charlie said.
"Ok" Locke said, taking the packet from him.
"Thanks " Charlie said before running off towards the sport pitch, he was late for soccer practise.
"Finally" Boone said as Charlie ran up to them.
"Sorry" He said, breathing heavily, one of the side affects smoking had had on him.
"Sawyers not here yet" Jack said joining them "So were just going to start without him"
"Ok" Charlie said, then he saw Ethan sat across the pitch, he seemed to be writing something down in a notepad. "What's he doing here?" He asked, gesturing towards Ethan.
"He wanted to tag along" Jack said.
"Whatever" Charlie said, he didn't really mind him, but he knew Sawyer would.
They began to have a kick around waiting for Sawyer. Ethan watched carefully, they didn't seem to be very good. He noted down any tactics he could see being used and the positions of the players, it was going well.
Sawyer then walked down the pitch.
"Where the hell have you been?" Jack asked him angrily.
"Detention" He replied, throwing his bag on the floor. "Lets get going… What the hell is he doing here?" He said, angrily seeing Ethan sat over on the side.
"He wanted to tag along" Jack said.
"Well what if I don't want him here?" Sawyer spat "We just so happen to have the most important match of the year soon, were playing the school rivals"
"What?" Charlie said in shock "Were playing Otherville High?"
"Yeah" Sawyer said "They beat us last time, we need to pull it back"
"Agreed" Sayid said "We need to beat them this time"
"Glad someone takes this seriously Mohamed" He said picking the soccer of the ground, Sayid was used to these nicknames from Sawyer and just headed out onto the pitch. Sawyer did a quick warm up and training began, they spent half an hour doing drills and kick ups, while Ethan wrote avidly.
"Right cowboys" Sawyer shouted "Lets play a game" He dived them into sides and they started a mock game. Ethan watched in horror. With Sawyer they just seemed to be well… great. They looked complete, they played well. This was not good.
"Hey, mind if I join in?" Ethan shouted "Its just a bit cold and you know sat doing nothing"
Sawyer opened his mouth to tell him to go away but before he could say anything Jack shouted out.
"Yeah join our side" He said. Sawyer cast Jack an angry look, which Jack ignored.
They started to play and Ethan only had one goal in mind, get rid of Sawyer. That lad was too good, he would be a threat. Ethan saw his chance when Sawyer grabbed the ball and began to streak down the pitch, Ethan ran up and barged himself into Sawyers shoulder, knocking him to the ground.
Sawyer felt his arm snap out of line. He screamed out in pain. A few of the lads grouped around him and he saw Ethan's smiling face above him, that guy had done this on purpose Sawyer thought, gritting his teeth in pain as he rolled over.
"You alright?" Jack asked.
"No i'm not" Sawyer said "You're the doc wannabe, what does it look like?"
"I don't know Sawyer" He said "I might be a doctor when i'm older, but for now I'm in high school, looks bad though"
"Great" He said sarcastically.
"Someone run up to the school, the nurse should still be there." Jack said.
"I will" Ethan Volunteered.
"Thanks" Jack said as Ethan ran up to the school, an evil smile swept across his face, Sawyer was out.
"I wanna see what he's been writing" Charlie said, heading over to where Ethan had been sat.
"You have no right to go through peoples things" Jack said, standing up.
"Jack let him look" Sawyer said "I wanna see what that little sneak has been writing too"
Charlie opened the book and saw that all their positions, tactics had been written out.
"Look here" Charlie said, his face turning pale "It says captain – James Ford known as Sawyer. Threat, must not play"
"What the hell is that supposed to mean?" Boone asked.
"It means, Metro" Sawyer said, breathing deeply through the pain "That he wanted to get rid of me"
"Why?" Sayid said.
"Wait" Charlie said, looking through Ethan's bag "He's got a letter from Otherville school, about a parents evening"
"We can think about that later" Jack said "Where's the nurse? Charlie go and look"
"Ok" Charlie said, running towards the school.
Ethan got out of the school gates and took out his cell phone. Then he realised he had forgotten the book. He couldn't go back now, if they had seen it. Well he could remember most of it anyway. It wasn't like he needed to go back there again.
"Hey" He said down his phone after dialling a number "I've got the info, and I took Ford out"
"Well done, school have wondered where you have been the past two days, we forged a sick note" A voice said.
"Good idea" Ethan laughed, before shutting off the call.
