Their first class English wasn't exactly the best as they had the same teacher as last year Mr. Jones a very old man who talked at the slowest pace which annoyed many of the students.

"Really can this guy talk any faster if he tried?" Jack laughed.

"Yeah probably." Kate giggled.

"Miss Austen is there something funny that you would like to share with the class?" Mr. Jones asked.

"No sorry sir." Kate tried to contain her laughter.

"You know one of these days your cheeky comments are going to get me into trouble." Kate whispered.

"I know it's hilarious seeing you get into trouble you look helpless." Jack smirked.

"I do not." Kate replied. Suddenly the door creaked open and Mr. Locke the headmaster walked in.

"Sorry to interrupt your class Mr. Jones this is a new student his name is Charlie Pace just moved here from England." Mr. Locke explained.

"Ahh Mr. Pace seeing that Mr. Shepard and Miss Austen are content on chatting through the class you can sit in between them." So the boy walked up to the back of the class and sat between the two.

"Hey I'm Jack and this is Kate." Jack smiled.

"Hey mate I'm Charlie." He smiled nervously.

"right I'll introduce you to the gang, right bear with me on this, big guy down the front that's Hurley, that guy and the blonde that can't keep their hands off each other that's Sayid and Shannon, erm redneck along there that's Sawyer, other blonde over their that's Claire Jacks sister, Latina down front that's Ana, Korean couple that's Jin and Sun and finally the girl with the blue top that's Libby." Kate said catching her breath.

"Wow that's a lot of people ohh and I kinda don't know where I'm going here so can you guys show me about don't have a clue where I'm going?" Charlie asked.

"Yeah sure lets see your timetable see if we are in any of your classes." Jack asked. Charlie handed him the timetable and quickly skimmed through it and handed it to Kate.

"Yip your in mine and Jack's chemistry, history, biology and maths class, Jack phys ed class and my art and music class. And some of the others are in those classes too."

"Cool and thanks for introducing me to some people I thought I would be completely different than it is right now." Charlie whispered as Mr. Jones was staring at him.

"Its ok man and by the way do you want to sit with us at lunch?" Kate asked.

"Yeah thanks that would be great." Charlie thanked. After English they had recess which was gratefully thanked by everyone.

"Guys this is Charlie he just moved from England Charlie this is the guys." Claire introduced.

"Hey Charlie." They all said at once.

"Claire where is Jack, Sawyer and Sayid?" Kate asked.

"Ohhhh what else do they start their year with?" Shannon asked.

"Football." The group said dully. As soon as they had said 'football' Jack, Sawyer and Sayid came running out of the phys ed corridor with nearly all the school's football players shouting and laughing.

"Now Charlie one thing you have to learn about those three is that their world revolves around football Jack is running back captain, Sawyer is quarterback and Sayid is well I don't know where he plays but that is all they do and think about is football." Shannon explained.

"But Shannon, Claire, Kate, Sun and Libby are all cheerleaders so they are just as bad." Sayid said from behind them.

"Come on no we aren't; anyway was the notice board up for cheerleading?" Libby asked.

"Erm yea it sure is moonbeam." Sawyer laughed.

"Sawyer gives us all nicknames you'll have yours soon." Claire whispered.

"OH I can't wait what's yours Kate?" Charlie asked.

"Freckles." She said simply.
