The first day of exams was on a Friday and the students were already tired of them. Sawyer, however, loved them. "I hate my life," Kate moaned. "I so totally failed all the tests today."
"That was great!" Sawyer said cheerfully. They stared at him. "Come on! A class time with no lectures, and half the time is spent reading? And they give out candy! And no homework! This is heaven!"
"I see your point," Ana said. "But I have to disagree. This is the exact opposite of heaven."
"At least it's the weekend," Shannon said optimistically.
"Yeah," Claire said. "A weekend full of studying."
"Oh, come on now," Juliet said. "It won't be that bad. How could you study anyway? It's not focused on one specific subject, it's all jumbled. There's nothing to study."
Kate and Ana exchange glances because Juliet had been studying a lot- or so she says. "So what will you be doing this weekend then?" Kate asked casually. Jack noticed her way-too-friendly tone, and glared at her. Kate gave him an innocent look and brought her attention back to Juliet's response.
She shrugged. "Just hanging around I guess… it's not like there's much I could do, right?" She said with a smirk. Ana scowled; Juliet was suggesting that she was up to something, and Jack was blind to it. Jack simply smiled. He's totally smitten by her, Ana thought disgustedly.
Juliet said she decided to hang outside again, so it was Kate, Ana, Claire, and Shannon at the dorm.
"Did you see him?" Ana yelled furiously.
"Of course!" Kate said with just as much anger. Claire and Shannon stared in shock and confusion.
"What?" Claire finally said.
"Jack!" Kate told them. "He's so in love with Juliet that he can't see that she practically told us she was planning something!"
Claire and Shannon grinned at each other. "Oh, please," Ana rolled her eyes. "For once can this not be about relationships and who likes who?"
"Okay," Kate said, much quieter this time. "But what is she up to?" No one had an answer to this, but they all wanted to know. Desperately.

Juliet sat shivering out in the cold again. She had to think of a way to get to their houses this weekend unless they came first. What could she tell Jack? Jack would believe whatever she said; but everyone else wouldn't.
She stared down the street. Dan's house was over there. She couldn't see it, but if she got up and moved to the end of the road she could. Unfortunately, she felt frozen to the seat.
Juliet forced herself to get up. She leaned carelessly against a tree and gazed along the street again. There it was; and she could see someone moving inside of it. Someone opened the door of the house and went to the mailbox. That was Dan.
Dan took his mail and began walking toward the house. He paused and turned her way. Juliet could see the confusion on his face as he carried on walking.
Juliet rapidly went back to her original seat. Great, Juliet thought grumpily. Now they know I'm here.

Dan, puzzled, set his mail down on the table. "What's wrong?" Charlotte asked concernedly.
"Someone," he hesitated. Miles would surely overreact to this. Miles noticed his uncertainty and waited impatiently. "Someone was standing just outside of the- the school. It looked as if they were- like they were looking over here. Directly at this house."
"Who?" Miles said, jumping off Dan's kitchen counter. He stared through the window inconspicuously. "Dan… no one's there."
"She must've left because I saw her!" Dan told them.
"Who was it, Dan?" Naomi asked urgently. Dan strained to remember.
"Daniel," Charlotte said impatiently, drawing out the second syllable like she always did when she was impatient.
"Hold on," Dan said. He pictured her in his mind. "Starts with a J."
"Juliet?" Frank suggested.
"That's the one!" Dan snapped his fingers.
"She must've been the one who was left behind," Naomi explained. "She went to the school? Why would she do that?"
"On Ben's orders, of course," Miles mumbled. "Well what does she want with us?"
"Probably wants Ben's 3.2 million dollars back," Frank said.
Miles shook his head. "No way. But you're probably right. And she's not going to get it."
"Sorry about the sudden change of subject," Charlotte said randomly. "But shouldn't we go to see Penelope soon?"
"With her there?" Miles said doubtfully. "Risky, but we should. Tomorrow."
"How?" Frank said.
"Isn't it obvious?" Naomi scoffed. "You do know we never un-registered ourselves as students?" Naomi asked them. They looked shocked. "Yeah. So we're still legally allowed on the campus."
"But it's not like we can just approach her," Charlotte stated. "Wouldn't that be just a little awkward?"

"Hey!" Desmond shouted. "Be on the lookout," he added quietly.
"What?" Sawyer said.
"Lookout for what?" Juliet asked curiously.
Ana glared at her as Desmond said, "Just… unusual things. Okay?" He pleaded. Juliet nodded sympathetically. "Thank you," he told her and rushed off.
"Wow, that wasn't a complete lie," Ana said to Juliet.
Juliet grinned. "What do you think he means by unusual things?"
Sawyer shrugged. "Pigs on two feet?" he suggested. "Oh, look, there's one now!" he shouted, pointing to Hurley.
Juliet began laughing and so did Ana, but she had enough courtesy to yell "Sawyer!"
"I speak the truth," he shrugged. Ana started yelling at him which bored Juliet greatly.
"See you," She said.
"Where are you going?" Ana asked rapidly. "Outside again?"
"No," she shook her head. "I like the chilly weather, but it gets to be too much, you know? I think I'll just go read a book or something. Go on the computer."
"Excellent idea," Sawyer said. "I love reading." This amused Juliet; to her, Sawyer wouldn't be the type of guy who loves reading.
Ana spotted Juliet's doubt and said, "It's true. I know what you're thinking, but, yeah, it's true." Juliet raised her eyebrows in complete astonish which caused Ana to laugh. Sawyer thought it weird that they could act enemies one moment and somewhat friendly the next.

"Hi," Naomi said.
Penny looked up from her notes. "Hi," she said slowly. Naomi and Charlotte sat down next to her.
"How're you doing?" Naomi asked.
"I'm good," Penny replied kindly, not showing her confusion. She didn't even know these people. "And you?"
"Great, thanks," Naomi said. "What're you up to?"
"Studying," She said. "You know, for the exams."
They nodded politely. "So how do you think you're doing on those?" Charlotte asked.
"I'm quite confident," Penny told them. "Nervous, but isn't everyone? All in all, I expect a good score." She paused. "Who are you?"
"Oh, I'm so sorry," Charlotte said with believable-yet still fake- sincerity. "I'm Charlotte Lewis and this is Naomi Dorrit."
Penny nodded slowly. "Okay," she said. "And what do you want with me?"
"Well," Charlotte began. "Truth be told, we've met your father. Charles Widmore."

Yay! Okay, tell me, please, who do you want Kate and Boone to be paired up with? So far its Koone winning. Vote 108 for Koone and 4815 for OCs.
Also for…very long time in the future, what kind of drink do you think Sawyer would sneak into school? Some drink that would probably not be allowed on a school campus. Thanks for the help!
