I like writing the return of the exes.

Like I said before, nothing goes well in high school relationships.

Disclaimer: I don't own Lost. So what else is new?

A wave of fury swept over Sawyer. "Get your hands off of her!" he yelled, pulling Danny away from Ana.

"What do you think you're doing, man?" Danny said angrily.

"What do I think I'm doing? I'm protecting my girlfriend from you!" Sawyer shouted back. "What do you think you're doing, coming over here and kissing her?"

"Sawyer, please, let me-," Ana pleaded.

"Ana, baby, what is going on here?" Danny asked. "Why does this punk think that you're his girlfriend when really, you're mine?"

"Sawyer," Ana ignored him. "This is Danny; we used to go out, last year."

"What do you mean, used to?" Danny growled. "I don't recall me ever breaking up with you, or you breaking up with me."

"That's true," Ana said. "But what I do recall is me telling you I was moving, and you suddenly never wanted anything to do with me anymore, so I assumed we were over."

"Well you assumed wrong," Danny said. "I still have feelings for you."

"I can't say the same," Ana said. "You want me to tell you exactly what I think of you? Well I think you're a jerk for not being with me when I needed you. I think you're pathetic for only wanting to get back together with me once you see me face-to-face. You never called or wrote. I also think that Sawyer is a much sweeter, kinder, more considerate, and cuter boyfriend than you ever were, are, or will be. So to sum it up, the only one that can call me 'baby' is Sawyer."

All of her friends 'ooh-ed.' "You sure told him, baby," Sawyer said.

"Don't ever call me that again or I'll kill you," Ana said threateningly.

"Ana, do you remember when you would always threaten me like that?" Danny said; completely oblivious to everything that just happened.

"Yes," Ana told him. "The only difference is that now, I mean it."

"What are you trying to say here?" Danny asked.

"Are you some kind of moron?" Sawyer questioned. "Consider yourself dumped."

"Now that we have that settled, can we please come back to my problem?" Thomas interrupted.

"The only problem is that you're still here," Charlie sighed.

"How can you possibly think that you still have a chance?" Claire scoffed. "You make me sick. Get out of here."

"Yes, let's be quiet," Juliet piped up. "Because you totally just made a scene. Guys, they heard you."

"Sorry, Juliet," they-excluding Danny and Thomas-whispered.

"I still have a question," Danny announced. Ana sighed but listened anyway. "What happened to your hair?"

Everyone burst out laughing and Ana blushed. "It was a dare. Now that that's over with, go. Now. Before I make you."

Danny and Thomas turned gloomily. Before they were completely gone, however, two girls walked up to meet them.

"What is going on over here?" one of them asked. "It sounds like a fight or something."

"Oh, no," Sawyer groaned, causing his friends to look at him curiously.

The girl who just spoke looked over too. "Oh my god, Sawyer, is that really you?"

"No," Sawyer said immediately.

The girl walked over to him and hugged him. "I never thought I'd see you again!"

Ana reached between the two and pushed them apart. "May I help you?"

"Excuse me," the girl said rudely. "But do you have any business separating a girl from her boyfriend?"

"Yeah, Cassidy, about that-," Sawyer began awkwardly.

"I think you have the wrong guy," Ana finished for him. "Because he's mine."

"No, Ana, she has the right guy," Sawyer said. "Cassidy, I-,"

"'Yours?'" Cassidy interrupted. "I've been dating Sawyer here for about a year and a half now, so, therefore, he's not yours."

Ana paused in disbelief. A year and a half? That couldn't be true… "Care to explain?" Ana shakily said to Sawyer.

"Um," Sawyer stammered. "Uh, well, Cassidy, I realize now that I never officially broke up with you."

"All that happened was you told me you had to move," Cassidy said. "You never mentioned anything about ending our relationship."

"What?" Ana snapped. "I can't believe you would do that!"

"Hey, hey I'm not finished yet!" Sawyer said hurriedly.

"Well, I am," Ana said and turned on her heels and left.

"I'm glad she's gone," Cassidy said.

"I'm not!" Sawyer said. "Cass, I know I never broke up with you, but I never knew how. I never called you or answered your calls because I thought you would ask me what was wrong, and I would have to tell you that we were over. But then I met Ana and I couldn't help myself. I haven't ever doubted myself when it comes to Ana. When I'm with her it feels so right, Cassidy, I'm sorry, but now I know that she's the one for me."

The group 'aww-ed' and Cassidy smiled sadly. "I totally understand. You better chase after her, Cowboy; I doubt she's happy with you."

"You're right," Sawyer said. "I have to fix this."

Ana left the conversation without hearing another word. She made her way to the back of the restaurant and sat against a window.

Ana had never felt such an odd mixture of emotions: Sadness, anger, and love. She had completely forgotten that Ben's school was there.

They saw her sit against the window moodily. "I wonder what's wrong," Goodwin noted.

"It doesn't matter," Harper said quickly. "It's really none of our business."

"I'm going to go see what's up," Goodwin said, ignoring Harper. He got out of his chair and walked over to Ana. He sat down next to her.

"Is something wrong?" Goodwin asked kindly.

"Yeah," Ana said. "I kind of just realized that my boyfriend was dating another girl. What he says is he never 'officially' broke up with her."

"Oh, man, I'm really sorry," Goodwin said genuinely. Ana noticed the sincerity in his voice and smiled. "Is there anything I can do?"

"Probably not," Ana said shakily. "I-I just don't know what to do."

"Hey, it'll all be okay," Goodwin assured. "You just have to fight your way through it, okay? You seem like a strong girl, I'm sure you can do it. And if you ever feel scared or anything, you can come see me. I'll be there."

"W-why are you helping me?" Ana asked, on the verge of tears. "Our schools are like r-rivals."

"Rivals on the court, maybe," Goodwin said. "But here, I'm there for you."

Ana bit her lip. She was glad that Goodwin was there to talk to her, but his words made her closer to crying. Goodwin noticed this and put his arm around her as the tears flowed from her eyes.

Sawyer rounded the corner. "Ana?"

"I don't want to talk," Ana said immediately.

Sawyer was surprised. He had never seen Ana so shook up. He never thought such a tough girl like her could break down like that. He then noticed Goodwin's arm around her shoulders. "Who is this?"

"Sawyer, do you not understand that I don't want to talk?" Ana shouted. "Leave me alone! I don't want anything to do with you!"

"Listen, man, I really think that she just needs some time alone," Goodwin said calmly.

"Alone? Then why don't you leave?" Sawyer said angrily. "She doesn't even know you; I doubt she wants you here!"

"Yeah, well here's a surprise, James," Ana said. "I do want him here."

Sawyer felt as though he was punched in the stomach. He barely saw Ana turn and leave again. He barely saw Goodwin following after her. He barely remembered walking back to his table and putting his head down.

"Sawyer?" Kate whispered.

"Leave me alone," Sawyer said, his voice muffled.

"Sawyer, what's going on?" Kate asked.

"Ana's being comforted by some dude from the other school," Sawyer said.

"Uh oh," Juliet mumbled. "Who?"

"That guy…Goodwin."
