It's been ages it seems, but he's another chapter. It's really short, but I've been dying to write something and college doesn't seem to allow a lot of free time to do so. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I can get a longer one in before the weekend is over, but no promises. Enjoy!

I feel like I'm in high school all over again, except ten times the violence. There's nothing but drama that goes on around here. I can't bloody stand it! If I didn't have the few friends that I have here, I just might lose my mind. Jack isn't talking to me; fantastic. Is it my fault he decided to tell me what to do? No. He told me not to follow. He was brave enough to go after Michael, yet he let Genna go with him and not me. True, she's not afraid to carry a gun, but I'm fairly useful. So, I ran after them and was captured by the others... Biggest downfall. I was petrified and now he's not speaking to me even though I'm OKAY!

Now Ana Lucia and Jack have been spending a lot of time together. I don't trust her at all. Something about her is sketchy. They're trying to get an army together to fight the others. Frankly, I don't think it's our place to "claim" the island. The others were here first, but who am I to judge. I'm just supposed to stay at the beach and do nothing. Anyways, there was a an incident with Sun. She was bagged over the head, like me, dragged through the jungle and hit on the head; thus, leaving her unconscious for Sawyer and I to find her. Jack got into defensive mode and tried to get some guns. Lo and behold, Locke hid them. So they started to argue about nonsense and come to find out, Sawyer conned us all and took them.

Sawyer's alright sometimes, but at other times, I can't stand him. He may be attractive, but I would never want to be with a guy like that. That's why I married Godric; whom I miss more and more everyday. I'm simply ranting out of boredom. I have hatch duty at the moment and no one else is around to keep me company. I'd ask Charlie to come down here with me, but he's been too occupied with Claire and Aaron. Genna has been keeping herself busy with all of this "others" nonsense. It's odd. I've never seen her like this. I'm so used to the animal loving, Charlie obsessing, smart, and kind Genna from back home. Now, she's turned to this in-control, I'm going to kick ass and take names Genna. There's a part of her that's still the same.

It seems as if everyone has found something to keep them going. Everyone has a purpose on this island. I'm the only one that feels out of place. If it wasn't for this damn button, I'd walk out right now and never come back. I just want to go home, where I belong.

Flashback

"Hey. I think he likes you." Adonia nudged Genna as they stood in the crowd at a bar. Genna turned to a handsome, brown and blonde haired, blue eyed guy that had turned his attention to someone else. She blushed and tucked her curled hair behind her ear. The rock music that was playing from on stage was overpowering. The girls really liked what they were hearing. The different colored lighting made Genna's off-the-shoulder blue shirt stand out in comparison to her black skinny jeans and Chuck Taylor's.

"I think rock stars make it a point to flirt with their eyes towards a girl in the crowd. Don't get your hopes up." Genna managed to say over the music. Adonia just laughed and kept dancing. Adonia had strands of waves escape from her high ponytail in an attractive way. They bounced around as she moved her head with her body; unlike her dark green tank top that was tucked in her black straight skirt that was inches away from her knees. Her long, golden birdcage necklace and black ankle boots refrained from staying silent. The band's song seemed to be coming to an end.

"Let's go get some water." Adonia said to her friend that had her eyes closed as she enjoyed the music. She nodded and followed. When the band finished, the lead singer announced that they were going to take a fifteen minute break. The DJ took over.

"Let's give it up again for Drive Shaft!" The crowd roared.

Adonia and Genna reached the bar and Adonia raised her hand for the bartender at the other end to see. Genna leaned her elbows on the bar and faced towards the crowd.

"How'd you like the show?" The same guy Adonia assumed was flirting with Genna stood next to her with a cute smirk. Genna smiled to herself.

"It was alright. I've seen better and worse." He seemed surprised, in a good way.

"Scottish? First European I've seen in America all month." He then turned to the bartender that had just taken Adonia's order. Adonia was turned to a woman next to her just exchanging small talk to give Genna privacy. He ordered a beer and turned to Genna.

"Can I get you anything?" He kindly asked. She shook her head.

"No, thank you. My friend just ordered a water for me. I don't drink actually." He nodded his head for he was impressed.

"Something else I haven't stumbled upon." They laughed.

"You know, my best friend is from Liverpool. You must be from Manchester or somewhere very close to it." Genna knew British and Scottish accents like the back of her hand.

"You're exactly right. Manchester. Liverpool, huh? Home of the Beatles. I love it there. So far, I'm loving it here as well." He said to her with a smile. She couldn't help, but to blush. She saw the bartender coming close with the bottles of water and turned to grab one.

"He is really cute. Keep talking. I'll be over there." Adonia whispered to her. She then grabbed her water bottle and walked off to a high table with her new acquaintance. Genna hated her for leaving her there with him, sort of.

"The name's Charlie." He said breaking her glare at Adonia.

"Excuse me?" She said turning back to him. She sat down on the bar stool with great posture and crossed her legs. He sat down next to her and extended his hand.

"Charlie, Charlie Pace." She smiled and shook his hand.

"Genavieve Belacqua, but you can call me Genna."

"Wow. That's a beautiful name, but it's not nearly as beautiful as you." She laughed at his remark.

"Do you use that one on every girl you meet at a bar?"

"Only the ones that I want to mean more to me than just some girl at a bar. Have lunch with me tomorrow." Genna was flattered, yet unsure.

"Hmm. Didn't really sound like you were asking me." She said before taking a drink from her water bottle.

"It's more of a suggestion. But if you would like me to ask, I will." He set his bottle on the bar and leaned towards her. He smiled to himself when he saw the light catch her blue eyes.

"Genna, will you have lunch with me tomorrow?" Her heart began to race and she could feel Adonia's eyes burning into the back of her head, but she ignored it.

"I'd love to." They exchanged smiles to each other and a man approached Charlie.

"We're back on. Let's go."

"In a second, Liam." He said over his shoulders. Liam then walked away towards the stage.

"I gotta go. I'll see you tomorrow at Central Park. Noon sound okay?" He said as they both stood.

"Sounds perfect." He then smiled and walked back towards the stage. Adonia hurried over to Genna who was in a daze.

"Why do I have a feeling he just asked you out?" She asked with an ecstatic smile. Genna turned to her and was blushing profusely. Adonia squealed and jumped up and down in a somewhat toned down matter.

"I told you so! You never listen to me. But hey, I got you a date, so the joke is on you." Genna raised her eyebrow.

"You got me a date? I'm pretty sure you had nothing to do with the recent event that just occurred." They grabbed their water bottles and headed towards the door. Adonia linked her arm in Genna's.

"Sure I did. I dragged you out of the apartment and brought you here. Full credit taken. You're welcome." Genna nudged Adonia playfully and they giggled as they walked out the door.
