Thanks guys for your really kind reviews I really appreciate them and its gives me the incentive to carry on writing my fan fiction. I'll try and also start a new line when someone else talks, yeah I am a skater but you're gonna have to wait and see what happens with Kate and Sawyer hehe.

Ok this chapter is gonna have some PB&J, Shayid and funny Jate. Sorry for the lack of Skate in this chapter but I promise there will be lots of Skate in the next.

When Kate made her way back into the cafeteria she saw all her friends sitting round the table still talking away about things. She sat back down at the table

"You're back" Claire noticed seeing her friend sitting back down Kate nodded and smiled at everyone.

"So are you coming to the homecoming rally tonight Kate?" Sun asked, Kate didn't know whether she was going to go or not she wasn't one for crowds but it might be good for her to go to introduce herself to everyone. She thought for about a minute and replied

"Yeah sounds fun and your all gonna be there." Everyone sounded happy that Kate would be joining them for the rally tonight. At that some of the girl's heads started looking past Kate's shoulder at Jack who was walking up to her to talk to her.

"Hey, I was wondering whether I could talk to you for a minute." Jack asked he saw that everyone at the table was watching. "In private" he lowered his voice a little

"Yeah sure" She replied getting up from her chair and walking with Jack to a quieter place. There were little whispers coming from her friends who were watching her go off with Jack. They stopped in one of the hallways where no one was about

"So…I was kinda wondering whether you were coming to the rally tonight because there's gonna be a lot happening there and I would really like it if you could come." Kate didn't know what to say to this, was Jack asking it in a friend way or in a date way. She had already told her friends that she would go but thought she would be spending the night there with her friends.

"Yeah I'm coming, actually we were talking about it before you came over and I told my friends I would come" As soon as Kate finished speaking a smile beamed on Jack's face.

"That's good to hear" he replied still smiling she smiled back "So I guess I'll be seeing you here tonight then?"

"Yeah I guess you will" she replied smiling, he was a nice guy and the captain of the football team making him pretty popular with everyone around school. "Look I better get back to my friends they'll be wondering where I am" she explained. Jack just nodded and watched her make her way back to the cafeteria.

The last bell of the day had gone and everyone was quickly leaving school to come back tonight for the rally. Charlie and Claire were walking towards Charlie's car; he was filling in for Shannon giving her a ride home. Everyone knew that Charlie liked Claire well everyone except Claire knew it he always made his feelings obvious for her and for everyone to notice them.

"My Bands got a gig next week at The House of Blues" Charlie was telling Claire trying to open up a conversation.

"No way! The house of Blues!" Claire squealed the house of blues was her favourite place to hang out at night and he knew it.

"Yeah we're playing there next Saturday it's a battle of the bands contest and they want us to go and perform there." Charlie was hoping that this would impress her he knew that it was her favourite place and it would give her an excuse to go and be there.

"Charlie that's really cool I can't believe your band is playing there I can't wait I'm gonna be there and we've got to get everyone else to come as well" Claire was real happy for Charlie getting the gig she had always liked Charlie as more of a friend but didn't know whether he would feel the same or not. They were on the way to Claire's house and Charlie really wanted to ask Claire to the homecoming dance but was worried to how she would react.

After driving for 15 minutes they finally came to Claire's house. They pulled up just outside and Charlie spoke "So I guess I'll see you tonight at the Rally"

Claire smiled "Yeah"

Charlie was thinking about how beautiful Claire looked then he came out with it "I was wondering whether you would want to go the rally with me?" He asked realising what he had said after he had said it.

Claire was taken back by what he had just said but also happy that he was asking her to the rally "Erm…Yeah I'd love to" she quickly replied. Claire was smiling by now and so was Charlie she couldn't wait to turn up to the rally tonight and tell everyone.

"I'll see you tonight then" she starting walking out the car and up the drive to her house. Charlie's eyes were fixed on her walking up to her house he thought she was beautiful ever since he had met her 2 years ago.

It was nearly time for the rally but Shannon hadn't got a way of getting down there since her car had broken early that day. She knew that most people had managed to get lifts except for her and she wasn't going to ask her step-brother for a lift. She didn't like him or get along with him so there was no chance she was going to ask him. She decided that she would phone someone see whether they could swing by and give her a ride there. She lifted the phone up only to here Boone talking to someone on the other end of the phone.

"Get off the phone bone head" Shannon argued down the phone "I have to phone someone otherwise I'm stuck here tonight"

"Well Shannon if you learned that the oil in a car needs to be changed you wouldn't have this problem would you" Boone argued back on the other side of the phone while the other person stayed quiet.

"I'm not a mechanic so how am I supposed to know these things." She continued to argue when she question who he was talking to on the other line "Who are you talking to anyway?"

"Does it matter Shannon?" Boone asked

"Yes bonehead it does matter!" Shannon argued back

"Fine, it's Sayid." He told Shannon. There was quiet for a moment Boone thought Shannon had hung the phone up but she had actually gone quiet from finding out it was Sayid she had never really spoken to him compared to the rest of her friends mainly because she kinda had a crush on him that she never told anyone about not even Claire because she didn't know what her friends would make of this because they were complete opposites.

Shannon finally spoken up "Ok well I just need a ride tonight so do you know anyone who can help" she asked kinda hoping that Sayid would speak up and say he could help out.

"Well you know I have a spare seat going in my car Shan" Boone spoke.

"I'm not having a lift off you do you know how that would look getting my step brother to give me a lift!" Shannon's voice had risen now into a shout

"If it's that much of a problem then maybe I could take you down there" Sayid spoke up after being quiet since Shannon came on the phone.

Shannon's face gleamed when Sayid spoke offering her a ride "Ok" she quickly answered "Could you come by at 6?" She asked

"Yes sure" he replied

"Ok thanks" and with that Shannon hung up from her line and went to finish getting ready for the rally.

Kate didn't really know what was going to happen at the rally tonight she had planned on going with Shannon and Claire up to the rally and then seeing Jack up there but since Shannon's car broke she was going with Jack up there. He told her he would pick her up and she was downstairs with her dad waiting for him he told her he would pick her up at 6 and she checked her watch and it said 5.59 and as soon as the clock turned 6 he arrived.

"Someone keeps to their time" her father joked. Kate laughed a bit she enjoyed living with her father Sam, even though he wasn't her biological dad she had believed he was until a few years back but he let her live with him now because of the way her father Wayne treated her.

There was a knock at the door it was Jack he went straight up to the door to pick her up her father was impressed at this. Sam went to answer the door while Kate watched from a distance.

"Hi…I…I erm…came to pick Kate up" Jack told the man who was standing at the door for some reason Jack wasn't being his normal self was he worried? Kate thought though she did find this kinda funny.

Sam nodded at him and welcomed him into the house Jack walked in and saw Kate standing there watching everything. He smiled at her and she replied the smile.

"I want her back at 11 latest" Sam spoke sternly to Jack, with him being in the army it helped him with boys who Kate would bring home. Kate knew what her father was doing and found it quite amusing.

"Ye…Yes Sir" Jack told him and with that he and Kate left the house for the rally.

Ok this chapter was kinda shorter than my other one but the next chapter will be about the rally and there's gonna be some fun things happening. Please Review they make me happy and want to carry on.
