Ok so I really wanted to skip a couple of days til the homecoming game and dance hehe. So at the moment Kate isn't going with either of the guys but you never know what could happen.

Friday – end of school

It was the day of the homecoming game and dance most the Jocks were bragging about how they were going to win the game tonight everyone had been ecstatic about tonight. Kate hadn't spoken to Jack for a couple of days now and she never returned his call he had been spending most his time with Ana-Lucia. Kate was going back to Shannon's with Claire after the game to get ready for the dance.

Jack hadn't spoken to Kate for a while and he didn't know where he stood with her and then he saw his perfect opportunity to see where he stood when he saw her walking down the hall.

"Hey Kate" Jack shouted in her direction. She turned round and saw Jack walking towards her.

"Hey" She replied

"So I was wondering whether you had a date tonight for the dance." Jack asked.

"No but I am going with Shannon and Libby" She spoke enforcing that she was going with Shannon and Libby and didn't need a guy to take her to the dance.

"Oh ok well I see you've got someone to go with so I'll guess I'll meet you there then" Jack's tone was disappointed but Kate didn't see why he was spending most of his time with Ana-Lucia so why didn't he go and ask her.

Just as if on cue Ana came walking down to Jack asking to speak to him Jack nodded and walked off with her.

"Just wondering whether you asked her yet?" Ana asked

"Asked who what?" He was confused to what Ana was asking

"Kate, whether you asked her to the dance" Jack shook his head "ok" she simply stated

"The only reason I haven't asked her is because I wanted to ask someone else" Jack opened up. This caught Ana's attention she wanted to know who this person was but secretly she was hoping for it to be her. "I wanted to know whether you would go with me." Jack asked Ana's face lit up in delight and quickly answered

"Yeah sure I'd love to" Jack smiled

"Ok then I will pick you up at 7" Ana nodded and walked off happily.

Friday – the game

Everyone was gathering for the game and Kate had arrived with Shannon and Claire at the midst of everyone else arriving. Kate was looking for Sawyer to see whether he was going to at least turn up for the game even if he said that he didn't dance. Charlie had arrived with Desmond, Sun and Hurley. They had all sat down Charlie sitting awfully close to Claire. They were getting ready for the game but there was still no sight of Sawyer, Ana was there she was sitting with Libby she didn't know that Ana was friends with Libby but she hadn't really spoken a lot to Libby to know who she was friends with.

The game began and both teams entered the field and the crowd were cheering on the teams. As soon as Jack had entered the field the crowd grew louder for the team Captain.

For Dharma High the team consisted of - Jack who everyone knew was the captain, Mark, Paulo, Michael Liam, Boone, Jin, Michael S and Sam.

The Otherville High team consisted of – their Captain Ethan, Goodwin, Danny, Tom, Matthew, Karl, Jason, Aldo, Ryan, Adam and Julian.

Otherville had always been the team that won but that could be changing tonight at the game. The game started out good it seemed that both teams were pretty strong and were both playing a good game. 15 minutes into the game Jack had scored a touchdown which put them in the lead 6-0. The crowd were cheering for Jack when he got the touchdown.

At half time the scored were pretty close 18-19 to Otherville high. People were still keeping their hopes high for their school to win. After half time was finished they carried on to play a clean game. Through out the game the scores were staying close by each team getting into the lead by either one or two points.

It was coming to the last 5 minutes of the game and Otherville High was in the lead 30-33. The crowd were all cheering trying to help the teams as the clock was counting down no one was scoring and some people were starting to believe that for yet another year Otherville would win which wouldn't put most people in a good mood for the dance but they would forget about it about 30 minutes into the dance. As it got down to the last minute the clock was counting down the scores staying the same all Dharma High needed now was a touchdown to win the game and finally beat their losing streak against Otherville. They were putting up a pretty good team not letting anyone get that much needed touchdown.

It was their last shot now to win the game as Mark got the ball he saw that the opposing team had managed to get all players marked and a few guys were running up to Mark but then he noticed Jack was open and he was ready for the touchdown there were 15 seconds left on the clock and they were counting 14………13…………12………… Mark had no other choice but he threw the ball to Jack who successfully caught the ball and made a run for the touchdown the crowd were cheering wildly hoping for Jack to get the touchdown the clock was still counting 8…………7…………..6…………..5 and on the last few seconds Jack managed to score a touchdown just as soon as the clock signalled 0. The crowd were cheering like mad they had finally won a game against Otherville High there was now something to celebrate.

After the game everyone started leaving to get ready for the homecoming dance it was gonna be a good time to celebrate their victory over their rival school. Everyone had gone their separate ways and Kate, Shannon and Claire were on their way to Shannon's to get ready.

When they reached Shannon's house they ran straight up to her room to get ready. Her room was a teenage girls dream it had everything a girl could want. Claire started plugging in various hair styling equipment straighter's and curling tongues. Shannon had managed to get out all of her makeup and laid it out on her dressing table. Claire was the first person to get everything done her hair didn't need doing since it had been in French plats all day so she could have it the way she wanted and Shannon was doing her make-up. Her make-up was done in around 15 minutes she couldn't stop going on about how much she liked it. She then switched places with Shannon to sort her out she was curling her hair for her which took a tiring hour to do and then Shannon decided that she wanted her hair up after spending an hour doing her hair she spent another 15 minutes putting it up neatly for her. She then also did her make-up for her.

Kate was watching the girls fuss over hair and make-up for a good while and thanked herself that she wasn't like that. The girls then homed in on Kate and told her it was her turn. She argued at first saying that she would leave her hair the way it was and didn't really like make-up but she was fighting a losing battle.

After an hour and a half they had finished Kate's hair and make-up. They had given her looser curls they she already had and didn't put too much make-up on listening to Kate moan that she didn't really like make-up. As soon as Kate was finished they decided it was time to get changed into their dresses.

After another 30 minutes the girls had gotten dressed and Claire was letting her plats out. Shannon was checking herself out in the mirror checking that she looked ok she wanted to impress Sayid as she felt that she may actually like him but wasn't going to admit that to her friends. She was wearing a peachy pink dress with the same colour shoes. She was just applying a pair of silver hanging earrings to complete her outfit she loved her hair how Claire had managed to do it and her make-up was a natural look.

"Stop checking yourself out Shan" Claire shared the joke with Kate both of them laughing at Shannon.

"I can't help it I look hot" Shannon carried on with their joke

All three girls were in pits on laughter. Claire then remembered to check the time Charlie was going to be there in 5 minutes. She then raced to the mirror to make sure she was ok. She was wearing A Black and White dress the Black lying over the white with a pair of black shoes. She then got a clip and clipped half of her hair behind her as if on cue to when she had finished there was a knock at the door all three girls looked out of Shannon's window to see a white limo they all knew it was Charlie. Claire told her friends she would see them at the dance and made her way downstairs to Charlie.

She answered the door and saw Charlie standing there smartly dressed in a black tux and black shirt. She couldn't help but have the thoughts of how good looking he looked in a tux running through her head. Charlie was smiling at her amazed by her beauty he then held his hand out for her

"Your carriage awaits" He finally spoke sweetly. Claire giggled at this and accepted Charlie's hand and they both made their way down to the limo. The two girls were still watching upstairs giggling to themselves at Charlie and Claire but they both secretly wished that it was them having someone to take them to homecoming because both were dateless.

About 10 minutes later both girls were downstairs with Libby and Boone. Shannon was angry that Boone was going to homecoming with them only because he didn't want to drive down her father had persuaded her to let Boone go with them in the limo. As the limo arrived they all got inside making their way to the dance but Boone interrupted them

"We just need to make one pit stop" Shannon's face turned from happy to angry

"What now bonehead you need to pick up a boyfriend" She argued as her jaw clenched.

"No we're picking Sayid up I told him we would" As soon as Boone had mentioned Sayid Shannon didn't want to argue now because Sayid was joining them.

As they pulled up in front of Sayid's Shannon was spending all her time looking for him to see what he was wearing. When she saw him walk out in a white suit she thought he looked better than she had ever seen him and started to blush. She then before her friends could notice lowered her head to the floor waiting to recover from her sudden blushing.

They were at the dance in the matter of around 10 minutes. As they walked into the school gym it was full of people celebrating their recent victory earlier that evening. Kate had managed to notice Jack he was with Ana-Lucia did they arrive together? She thought. Her eyes were fixed on the pair most the night wondering why Jack had spent a couple of days chasing her when he was after Ana all along.

"Hey" Shannon tried to snap her friend out of it when they were seated.

Kate finally shook out of it apologising "Sorry it's just…"

"I know" her friend interrupted "Jack and Ana well if it's any consolation Jack and Ana used to be together" She tried to comfort her friend.

"Thanks" Kate quietly replied she didn't know why it bothered her too see Jack and Ana together but then they began to dance and Kate was sick of watching the pair she turned her back on them to notice that Shannon was getting ready to go somewhere.

"Where…" Kate began to ask

"Oh Sayid just asked me to dance and I said yes" She replied extremely excited. Kate just nodded and watched her friend go off.

She was sitting on her own because most of her friends had either gone off dancing or were engaged in a conversation with someone. She was looking round it had seemed as if everyone had coupled up there were Shannon and Sayid, Claire and Charlie, Jack and Ana, Sun and Jin even Libby and Hurley they were all dancing together. Kate felt left out her friends had abandoned her.

Just to get her even more annoyed a slow song began to play for all the couples and it was one more excuse for them all to get closer. Kate just sat there finishing off her punch.

"Get up" Kate didn't listen at first she was too busy watching everyone dancing "Get up" She heard and looked up and to her surprise she saw Sawyer standing there and he was in a tux. It surprised her he was dressed in fully black but just to be Sawyer didn't bother wearing a tie like most the other guys but and decided to leave 2 buttons undone.

"Why Sawyer?" She asked confused she didn't think from their conversation the other day about him not being the dancing type that he would turn up.

"Hell freckles you gotta be so difficult just get up" He moaned but didn't lose his southern drawl

Kate couldn't help but just smile at him she didn't know why but it was his effect on her and finally got up.

"Finally she get's up" he teased looking her up and down as she got up she was dressed in a black dress which he thought fit her perfectly not too much makeup which he didn't seem to mind and he could tell that she hadn't over done it. He thought she looked beautiful in what she was wearing.

"So what's the big deal over" She asked seeing that he was eyeing her up.

"I wanna show you I ain't got two left feet like you might think" He teased hinting he wanted her to dance. She managed to get the hint and started walking to the dance floor with him.

They stood for a few seconds neither making the first move to dance and it was a slow song which made each other not want to make the first move.

"Well watcha waitin for freckles?" Sawyer joked trying to make the first move

"I'm waiting for you to start dancing" She teased back in a flirtatious way.

With that he took a couple of steps closer to her and slowly put his arms round her waist she stiffened at his touch to begin with but when she rested her hands on his arms she began to relax a little in his touch. They started to move to the song and Kate noticed looks from her friends who noticed her dancing with Sawyer. She had to admit herself he was a good dancer and she wasn't complaining.

"Guess I got it wrong you don't have two left feet after all" she joked

"Yeah well I'm full of surprises" He teased

"Guess you are" she smiled it was obvious she was flirting with him and they could both see it.

They were both enjoying their selves in each others company and having fun when they had both admitted to each other that they didn't know whether they would be attending the dance. When the song ended they both let go of each other and Kate stood there looking at the floor.

Jack had noticed by now that she had been dancing with Sawyer. Ana was still in his arms and he had decided that he wasn't going to let her ruin his time with Ana just when he felt like they were on the brink of getting back together.

"You wanna go for a walk?" Sawyer asked Kate as he could tell they both didn't know what to do. Kate nodded and they both made their way outside and they could hear the next song playing outside. They were both silent walking around the school leading to the school field.

They both sat down on a bench neither saying one word but they could both tell that neither really belonged in there.

"Whatcha thinkin' bout right now?" he asked trying to open up the conversation

Kate looked at him and smiled "Just how I thought you wouldn't be coming to the dance and here you are sitting here at the dance" he had to grin at this when he himself hadn't expected on going to the dance but she had been the one to change his mind just her going was a good enough reason for him to attend.

"Why did you come tonight?" she asked him

Damn Sawyer thought he didn't really want to tell her he went for her "I came because I wanted to see Jackass fall flat on his face dancin" Both of them knew it was a lie but it didn't stop Kate laughing at his comment.

"No Really" She asked turning slightly facing him looking serious.

Crap he thought she was really having an effect on him and it was making him look bad. He moaned "what the hell" under his breath his eyes were focused on her lips and he just felt the urge to kiss her and with that he lent in slowly for a kiss.

His lips grazed her slowly before going in for the kiss. Kate didn't know what was happening but his kiss was slow and smooth she hadn't expected this to happen but found herself kissing him back her hand had made its way up to his face cupping it.

She then was brought back to reality and broke the kiss they had made eye contact but quickly broke it. Before she knew it she had kissed him again this time it was different to their last one she had put her feelings into this kiss and he was doing the same.

They finally broke the kiss and he asked "Do you wanna get out of here?"

She smiled and nodded and they both got up and headed to the front of the school. Sawyer went to get his car and Kate waited for him to come back round. He then pulled up and got out the car opening it for Kate "Sorry it's not as posh as your arrival but its all I got"

She smiled replying "I like it" he shut the door behind her and getting in himself they started to drive off the dance wasn't finishing for a couple of hours so they had 2 hours to do what they wanted .
