Chapter 29

Two weeks had passed. Two weeks since Jack and Kate, Kate and Jack had started going out, as people said. They were the most popular couple of the high school. They were enough famous and well-received as individuals, but when combined together, they were like the King and his Queen. Yeah, it sounds stupid, but stupid was most students' reactions. That's high school, plain and simple.

Of course except for the fans, there were enemies too, headed by the one and only Juliet Williams. Yeah that's right, Juliet hated Kate and she'd rather die than accept that Jack is with her. She was living in denial, thinking that Jack was losing his mind for being with Kate Austen, a nobody. She would laugh at her, snicker and make lame jokes, but Jack was always to her rescue. Although Kate would have easily make her shut up, Jack didn't want his girlfriend to get expelled.

Their friends also got into fights with the blond Bimbo, each one enjoying every minute of it. Shannon had once started bickering with Juliet but ended up on detention. Later she cried, not because of the fight or the detention, but because she was this close to punching Juliet before the principal interrupted them. It was a funny scene to watch.

Sayid of course was by her side, holding back his laughter for the sake of his beloved girlfriend. He was probably the only one against to this Juliet-war, at least until she made a mean comment about Shannon that is. After that he was probably the most passionate of all, since every good comment he made against Juliet he earned a lustful kiss from Shannon. Why stop?

Claire was probably the nicest of all, she didn't swear, didn't bicker, didn't get angry. Besides, she was the most effective of all, using her best movement; sarcasm. It was the most annoying, nerve-racking and irritating thing, at least for Juliet and that was good enough.

Charlie, the infamous rock-star of the gang, didn't bother with all of that. He was watching amused every time a fight erupted and was keeping notes. Later he would present a new anti-Juliet song, which made anyone who listened to it crack up with laughter. And when he saw that Claire actually enjoyed his songs, he got more inspired. Aaah…what does love do to you?

Jack and Kate were probably the two least annoyed by the Juliet issue. They were finally together and nothing or no one could spoil that. There were a few misunderstandings between the two and Juliet did have something to do with it, but in the end everything was well. Jack was trying his best to avoid her even though sometimes he couldn't. Kate was smart enough not to fall for Juliet's tricks but there were a few times she actually got jealous. Well, a little jealousy harms no one.

Juliet was now walking across the hall, tapping loudly her high heels and flipping her blond hair back, just like the blond bitch from all the cliché movies does. Kate, who was picking up her stuff from her locker, couldn't help but laugh as the thought of her tripping over and falling down came, into her head.

Hearing her muffled giggle, Juliet turned around with a cold glare and snorted.

"You see something funny?" she demanded from an amused Kate.

"Nope" Kate said beaming. She saw Jack approaching her and Juliet immediately put a fake smile on her face.

"You're lucky my soon-to-be boyfriend is coming or else i…"

"Or else what?" Kate said slamming her locker and turning fully to her. She knew Jack would never leave her for Juliet but she couldn't help but feel a little threatened. Juliet might be a brainless mean bimbo but that didn't mean she wasn't hot.

"What's going on?" Jack said as he reached them.

"Nothing" Juliet said flashing him her best smile. "I was just reminding Miss born-to-be-a-loser her boundaries" she snickered.

"And I was just saying to miss dumb witted skinny Paris Hilton wannabe that if she doesn't shut up I'm gonna stick my foot right up her ass and…"

"Okay, okay, I get it" Jack said raising up his hands to make them stop. "Juliet, were you going somewhere?"

Juliet snapped up her head and looked innocently at Jack. "See you later", she said winking at him.

Once she was out of sight Jack turned to look at his pissed off girlfriend. Before she would start bickering about Juliet he attacked her mouth, kissing her deeply. Kate immediately forgot about the blond intruder and kissed him back. After ten minutes of making out they were good to go.

"Any plans for Saturday morning?" Jack asked as they were walking out of school and towards their houses. The school was way too close to use a car, even though Jack had recently earned an old but good enough car for going well on school exams.

"Actually yeah" Kate said with a heavy heart.

"Why the long face?" Jack asked as he saw her reaction.

"Uh…Shannon wants us to go shopping…" she whined.

"Shop for what?"

"Prom" Kate said.

"Oh" Jack said surprised. He had totally forgotten about prom. "And what's wrong with that?" he asked.

"Firstly, shopping with Shannon is like running a Marathon while carrying bags of 10 pounds. Secondly, she'll make me buy a dress and I don't do formal dresses. And finally but most importantly…I don't have a date" she said without looking at him.

At first he thought she was mad at him for not asking her but he caught a glimpse of her and saw her trying to hide a smile.

"You don't huh? Well I don't either…" he trailed off, watching her closely.

"Hmm" she said absently, still not giving in.

"Yeah…you know, maybe we should go together…since we're both dateless and all…" he said and watched as she smiled cockily, "it won't be the best thing ever but…" he stopped as she turned to look at him wide eyed.

"Not the best thing?" she gasped.

"Yeah, you know…it's not like I like you or anything…I can barely stand you but…"

She gasped again and he was finding it harder and harder not to laugh.

She suddenly stopped gaping at him, frowned and turned away from him. She was walking faster now and he had to run to catch up with her. Having played enough this game, he laughed out loud and grabbed her by the waist. She didn't though turn around to look at him, she just kept staring straight ahead. He smiled at her stubborness and kissed the back of her neck.

"Kaaaaate…" he whined when she didn't look at him.

Nothing.

"Kaaaaaatie…" he tried again.

"Nothing.

"Baaaaaaby…" he said and she softened a bit. She loved it when he called her that. It was cheesy, but who cares?

"What?" she asked trying to sound harsh but failing.

"Will you go to the prom with me?" he asked sweetly kissing her earlobe.

"I don't know" she replied. "After all it won't be the best thing…" she shot back.

"Pleaaaaase…" he said doing his best puppy dog eyes.

She sighed in defeat, how the hell was she supposed to deny anything to him? Still, she held back a little.

"I'll think about it" she said firmly but gently.

Jack was satisfied by that and gave her a big kiss on the mouth. She softened immediately and kissed him back. "What am I gonna do with you?"


"Pffff….I'm so tired….Shan, please let's go home…." Kate whined loudly.

Kate, Shannon and Claire had woken up at 8 am to go to the mall. As Shannon had claimed it was important to go early so that there wouldn't be many people. But now it was 2 pm and they still hadn't found anything, well except for Claire who had other problems like who would she go with at the prom.

They were all very tired but Shannon wasn't one to give up. She wanted a dress, she'd have a dress no matter what. Kate couldn't care less about the damn prom, she'd stay home if it was up to her. But Shannon would die before she let her friend miss prom, especially now that she had the boyfriend of her dreams.

"We won't go home until we find a perf….That's it!!!" Shannon squeeled once she spotted a dress in a store. She quickly got in, dragging the two exhausted girls behind her.

She immediately put on the dress and walked out of the dressing rooms to show it to her friends. Claire clapped excitedly and Kate smiled in happiness. The dress was perfect on Shannon. It was red, her favorite color, and was hugging perfectly her curves.

Shannon squeeled again and informed the store owner she was gonna buy it.

It was now only Kate that was dress-less.

"Guys, you know, let's just go. The prom is next Friday, I still have a week left and if I don't…"

"Not in a million years!" Shannon stopped her. "We're gonna find a dress for you, TODAY!" Shannon exclaimed with a new determination. Apparently the fact that she now had a dress made her all the more determined.

Another hour of walking through the stores followed and Kate was becoming depressed.

"Maybe I shouldn't go to the prom…" she trailed off miserably. She sure thought that prom was not such an amazing event but she wanted to go. She wanted to go with Jack. But after so many hours of pointless shopping,, she was starting to feel like she wasn't supposed to go to the prom. "I mean, maybe it's a sign…"

"Don't give me that shit" Shannon exclaimed. "Last year I was foolish enough to let you get away with not going to the prom but I'm not buying this again. You're going to the prom, dressed or naked. So what's it gonna be?" Shannon asked.

"Pfff…..come on Shan…apparently there's not a dress for me so…so…so…" she trailed off as she stared absently at a store.

Shannon and Claire turned to look at what she was staring and saw a beautiful, green dress on the shop window of a store. They gasped and kept staring at it, until Shannon, quickly and quietly, dragged them into the store.

"Hi" she said to the saleswoman. "Could my friend try on that dress?" she asked and pointed to the green dress in the shop window.

"Of course" the saleswoman replied smiling and she went to bring the dress.

Five minutes later and Kate was standing, more gorgeous than ever, in front of her wide-eyes friends.

"So?" Kate asked excitedly.

"I think…" Shannon started "I think I would turn gay for you" she said and everyone cracked up with laughter. Well except for Kate who looked worriedly at her friend.

"Kate you look perfect in that dress!" Claire piped in happily. "I think this is the one!"

"Yeah, I think so too" Kate said looking herself at the mirror. "You think Jack will like it?"

"Oh, girl" Shannon laughed. "If he comes to pick you up for the prom I think you'll be at least a couple of hours late".

A/N: Hmm...Prom is coming. I'm thinking of putting in a little angst in the next chapters cause i think all this fluffiness is getting kinda boring...Hmmm...what do you think?
