----------------------------------------------

Monday couldn't come quick enough, Sayid had come back from his weekend away, the first thing he done was go straight to Shannon. Going to school early, Sayid waited on Shannon to arrive, he had missed her a lot. He leaned against the lockers at the usual spot and sighed. He really wanted Shannon to be here, one of the only things running through his mind was that he really liked her… maybe he even loved her. He looked to his watched and sighed again, usually they arrived fifteen minutes before the bell went, and there was still ten minutes before such time. Slumping his head back against the cold metal his mind played memories like a movie, times of him and Shannon doing memorable things, he smiled and done his best to pass the time.

Arriving five minutes before the morning bell Shannon and Kate walked slightly faster to there usual hangout space because Shannon was excited about seeing Sayid… she hadn't seen him in the past few days. She laughed in her mind, she was falling for him… and fast. Shannon smiled at her thoughts, she was never the clingy 'I want to see you twenty-four/seven' type of girls, but recently all she could think about was her dark-haired, brown eyed Arab boy that had promised her many things that she always wanted. She laughed silently at the fact she wanted nothing more than to be in the arms of her 'boy' and continued to walk down the halls till she saw him standing against a locker looking bored out of his mind.

Shannon grinned and walked quicker towards the lockers, as she reached Sayid she slid her arms around him and hugged him tightly. Sayid inhaled her perfume and smiled happily, no matter what he was feeling, she always put a smile on his face. He pulled her tighter wanting to never brake apart from her and whispered In her ear "I've missed you Shan" She smiled widely and kissed his cheek "I've missed you too Sayid". He pulled her head back lightly with his hands and smiled sweetly at her, he closed the gap and placed his lips on hers, kissing her lightly. He placed a few innocent kisses on her lips and made the last one linger for a moment longer than needed. Sayid gazed into her eyes and smiled genuinely as he was in love.

Kate saw the exchange between her two friends and couldn't help but smile. She was happy that her best friend was falling in love, that maybe he would be the reason that she was growing up sensibly and that he wouldn't abuse her right to happiness… just because she was a pretty face. She smiled thoughtfully at them as they shared another kiss, her mind was absent and she felt strong arms surround her stomach and pull her closer from behind. Feeling his long hair brush her cheek as he slipped his head around her shoulders and kiss her tenderly, she laughed. The few strands of hair that tickled her ears wouldn't stop, she giggled and turned around in his embrace and raise her eyebrow at him.

He smiled like an innocent boy acting like he hadn't done anything sinful in his life. Kate licked her bottom lip and smiled, Sawyer looked so cute when he acted innocent, and she slowly slid her gaze up to his eyes. She paused there for a minute and crossed the gap that was between them, pressing her lips against his lightly. Sawyer applied pressure on her lips and demanded more from her; she complied and slid her tongue across his bottom lip. He opened his mouth and accepted her eager tongue, they massaged each others mouth with there tongues, almost erotically. Sawyer leaned back against the locker that was inches from him and let Kate melt into his contours as they kissed deeply. Her hand slid across the back of his neck and played with the long hair that occupied that area. She smiled mentally as she replayed Saturday night, feeling butterflies batting excitedly away in her stomach…

There hands were entwined as they walked down the main street. Sawyer looked at Kate- a slight grin was meshed onto her face "What you smiling at?" Kate grinned even more and leaned into him as she replied "you" Sawyer laughed and moved his head down and pressed his lips against hers, Kate smiled and kissed him back. Thunder rumbled, then the rain came down, pelting the both of them, soaking their skin and clothes. Sawyer groaned and pulled Kate in the direction of his house.

They ran up the stairs and entered his house. He picked up a few towels on the way to his room; Sawyer kicked off his boots and peeled off his soaking t-shirt, throwing it on the floor. Kate grabbed a towel and roughly started to dry her hair. "You can change ya know" Sawyer said as he pulled off his jeans. Kate rolled her eyes and laughed "Into what?" He grinned and threw one of his t-shirts at her. Kate picked it up from the floor and headed towards his door "Oh what? Aint ya gonna change in front of me?" he said grinning widely, Kate stopped and spun around giving him a fake warning glare. "Hmmm… let me think about it… No!" he pouted and gave her sad eyes "Please?" Kate laughed and said "Maybe some other time"

Kate came back into the room and crawled under the covers to get herself warm. Sawyer pulled on a clean pair of boxers and got under the covers as well; he pulled Kate closer and rested his hand on her hip. Kate's teeth chattered and she laughed, Sawyer smiled and kissed her tenderly whilst his hand stroked her hip lightly "How's that?" he said just above a whisper. She smiled and kissed his jaw "all better"

He sat his chin on her head and smelled her hair; the rain had intensified its smell. He loved to smell her hair, it always made him smile, and it was one of his favourite smells. Sawyer rolled onto his back and pulled Kate on top of him, she placed a kiss on his neck and laid her head on his chest. He pulled her closer and said "Ya know, you look sexy in my t-shirt" Kate blushed and whacked his stomach "Shut up" Sawyer let out a deep throaty laugh "well ya do… infact you always look sexy" he could feel her blushing on top of his chest "um… thank you" he kissed the top of her head and replied "no bother sweetheart"

They lay there for a while in complete comfortable silence; Kate tightened her arm around Sawyers stomach and sighed "did you mean what you said last night?" "What part?" Kate sighed and smiled nervously "… that you love me?" It felt like hours before he replied, but was infact almost a minute. Sawyer smiled and tipped her head up "Yeah, I do mean it" Kate held her breath until he finished his answer, she smiled and leaned up on her elbows and hovered her lips above his "I mean it too" he smiled and pressed his lips against hers. She kissed him back lightly; her tongue found its way into his mouth and massaged his slowly.

She broke the kiss and placed another light kiss on his lips and smiled. He pulled her closer and tightened his arms around her waist; Kate put her head back in the crook of his neck. After a few minutes she smiled and let out a small laugh "so I take it we're official then?" Sawyer grinned and said in fake seriousness "No! Why would you think that eh?" Kate laughed and rolled her eyes "Shut up" she whacked his arm and nuzzled her head against his neck. Sawyer smiled and closed his eyes, enjoying how close they were.

The bell went so Shannon grabbed Kate's arm and pulled her in the direction of their home room, Kate waved to Sawyer as she was pulled away. Sawyer smiled and waved back, he glanced over to Sayid who was grinning watching Shannon "Awe! Omar's in love… never thought I'd see the day!" Sayid rolled his eyes and replied back "Awe! Sawyer in love? THAT I'd never though I'd see" he laughed as Sawyer gave him an evil glare "Yeah, whatever" he nodded and went in the direction of his home room as did Sayid.

Charlie left the music room and locked the door… he took the keys back to Mr Kwon. He swung his guitar bag over his shoulder and got the straps comfortable on his shoulder as he left the building he seen Claire and Desmond sitting on a bench over by the trees. He sadly smiled, he missed Claire and what they had, but they were only twelve so they knew it might not have last. Eventually when it did end, they stayed friends but recently all he could think about was the cute blond Australian girl that had the best smile and made him feel happy. He waved over to them with a smile, Claire and Desmond done the same thing back and he slowly paced away hoping that they two weren't an item.

Claire and Desmond had been sitting on this bench for the last half hour. They had talked about a lot of things, anything that had come to mind they had said. Desmond was getting nervous, he wanted to tell Claire badly how he felt about her and hoped that he wouldn't scare her away. Picking up the courage he cleared his throat and said "Claire… I want to tell ya somethin" She smiled at him "Its… eh… that I have feelings for ya… and eh…" he stumbled off into silence looking shyly at her, Claire smiled sweetly, she did like desmond but her heart still lay with Charlie "That's sweet Desmond… I like you too… but…" he nodded and smiled "Yeah… ye still have feelins fur Charlie aye?" She looked down and nodded "Yeah, I'm sorry" he faced her and tilted his head "Its okay… still be friends though?" Claire's face lit up "Yeah, I'd love to still have you as a friend" He smiled happily and she pulled him into a hug.

Sitting back, she looked up to the sky which looked as if it was ready to burst and rain at any minute, just then Charlie waved over to her and slowly sauntered off. She turned to face Desmond and said "Well… I'm going to go… so I'll see you around?" he smiled and nodded "aye, see ya later Claire" She got up from the bench and headed off in the direction Charlie had gone off on. Catching up on him, she shouted on him so he would turn around, as she got closer she could hear faint music… but to Charlie it would be loud. Tapping him on his shoulder he spun around and grinned at her, pulling out his earphones "Claire, Hi" Claire smiled and walked beside him "How are you Charlie… we haven't spoke in a while" "I'm good… you?" she stared at him shyly "I'm okay… but… I want to say something…" Charlie was expecting her to say that she and Desmond was an item, but what she said filled him with relief "I know this is a bit weird… but do you want to do something soon?" Charlie grinned "Like a date?" Claire blushed and nodded "yeah… so do you want to?" Charlie nodded a bit enthusiastically "Yeah sure"

"James… do you wanna come to my house after thanksgiving dinner… we're going to my aunts, but I'm coming home alone for school the next day" Kate asked glancing over at Sawyer sprawled on her bed, he shifted his head to look at her "Sure thing freckles" he raised his eyebrow, Kate rolled her eyes and shook her head "Okay cool" he smiled at her. Kate got up from the chair and lay beside him on her bed; she curled up to him wrapping her arm around his torso "You're distracting me from my homework mister" she could feel his chest vibrate as he laughed "Yeah… well what's so important about homework anyways?" Kate looked up to him "I need to do it… I need as much help with biology as it is" Sawyer smirked and peered down to her "I can show you as much as you want to know about the body" and winked, Kate coloured slightly and pushed his chest "Shut up" he laughed and played with a lock of her hair.

Shannon rang the doorbell and waited, Kate's dad opened the door and smiled "Hi Sam… is Kate in" Sam nodded and replied "Yeah, she's in her room" he stepped aside to let her pass. Shannon walked up the stairs and entered Kate's room; she stopped in her tracks and coughed loudly. Kate and Sawyer stopped there kiss, their mouths still attached to each other but their eyes glued on Shannon. She raised her eyebrow and said amusingly "can you demount please… I don't really want to watch you's screw okay" Kate rolled her eyes and Sawyer rolled off of her "Hey there sticks" Shannon smiled at him. Kate fixed her top and swung her legs around into a sitting position. "Hey Shan, what's up?" Shannon smiled and sat down on the chair "Just in the mood for a chat… that's if you can detach yourself from him" Shannon pointed to Sawyer, smirking.

Sawyer sat up and cocked his head at her "I was just leavin anyways sticks…" he leaned over and whispered see ya later Kate and kissed her quickly. He walked past Shannon and ruffled her hair causing her to squeal and whack his arm. Kate followed him with her gaze as he left her room "You really like him don't you?" Kate smiled widely and nodded "I actually think that its love…" Shannon's face lit up "Oh My God! Kate!!" she ran over and hugged her tightly, Kate laughed "what?" Shannon grinned and leaned back "It's just so nice that you're in love" Kate looked down with a goofy smile "What about you then?" Kate raised her eyebrow; Shannon cocked her head "eh… I don't know if its love yet… but he is really amazing" Kate scrunched up her nose smiling happily. They spent the rest of the night chatting away until it was really late and Shannon left so they could get some sleep before school the next morning.

----------------------------------------------

Thanksgiving dinner at her Aunts house was okay, Kate had a good time and seen some members of her family that she hadn't seen in a while but all she wanted to do was go back home and see Sawyer. She stayed for a while after dinner and called a cab to the train station, all the people who could drive had been having a casual drink and weren't in the right state to drive… and she didn't want to stay over night. Tapping her nails against the bottom of the window, she glanced out at the surrounding passing by, it was dark outside with street lamps illuminating certain parts of the streets. The train slowed down as it reached another station, Kate got up and exited the train, and she called another taxi to take her home. When she got in she turned up the heating and closed the few windows that were open, to heat up the cold house.

Just after eight the door bell went. Kate opened the door to a smiling Sawyer, wrapped up in thick warm clothes and a long scarf around his neck. He practically jumped into the warm house and rubbed his arms to gain back the warmth lost from outside. Kate laughed and took his jacket off and wrapped her arms around him instead. She backed them up to sit on the sofa, once they sat down he pulled her closer and she kissed him sweetly. "Your nose is freezing!" she said giggling, he gave her a wince of a smile and laughed "yeah well, its cold outside" he pouted his lip and looked to her annoyed. Kate burst out laughing "Okay… you are one of a kind James" he glared at her for a few moments, then a smile faintly appeared on his face.

"Just come 'ere" he said pulling her towards him and planting his mouth on hers. She kissed him back and put her knees either side of him on the sofa, his hands held her back and her hip whilst hers played with his hair. As the kiss progressed it got deeper, once they needed a breath they broke apart, foreheads against foreheads gasping for air. Sawyer stared into her eyes which mirrored his own, love and lust mixed heavily together. Kate pushed some of his hair backwards with her thumbs and whispered against his ear as she bit it lightly "come with me" She got up from her position and entwined her fingers with his, pulling him up from the chair and taking him up to her room, where they let passion take them over and they held each other tight as they climaxed together.

After getting dressed Kate walked with Sawyer till she reached her door, giving him a last goodbye kiss she waved him off and locked the door. Picking up her housecoat from the hanger, she wrapped herself in it and pulled on her fluffy slippers and lay on top of her bed. Thinking over a few things she picked up her diary and flicked to the calendar page, she examined the dates closely, working out in her mind the dates she needed to know. Worry etched across her face, she placed the diary back down and decided not to let it annoy her, she got under the covers and fell asleep deciding that she would sort things out in the morning before school started and she hoped she was wrong.
