Part 2- Of Skittles and Detention
"Hey Sawyer…" Kate Austen and Shannon Rutherford giggled while standing in the candy store.
Sawyer smiled his great dimpled smile and winked, making the girls blush madly and continue looking around the little shop. Ana scoffed in disgust. How could these girls be so into boys? They were nasty and smelly and stupid. With a small exception to Sawyer…Ana's best friend.
Ana-Lucia and Sawyer left with a bag full of candy. They walked back towards Ana's house eating candy and pushing each other every chance they had.
The next day at school Ana was tired and in a grumpy mood. Sawyer however no matter what, was always in a good mood.
"I cannot wait for lunch." Ana huffed sitting in her desk.
"I know I'm starving." Sawyer smiled poking her arm.
"You're always hungry." She said as the bell rang.
They both got up and walked through the halls. Once they got their food they sat at the big round table. Sayid and Eko walked up.
"Hey guys." Ana said drinking her water.
"Hello Ana-Lucia." Sayid said sitting down.
"Hey have you guys seen Libby or Hurley?" She asked.
"They're coming, I saw them walking while I was in line." Eko said. She nodded.
Libby and Hurley finally showed up and the six kids sat and ate lunch; talking and laughing. Occasionally the popular kids would laugh and bug them but the girls all knew not to mess with Ana-Lucia.
"Ana and James sitting in a tree…" She sang.
Ana was furious; she got out of her seat and walked over to Jenna, her face revealing fear. Ana grabbed her and dragged her out of her chair making her fall to the ground. Sawyer watched and saw the teachers coming. He quickly got up and walked behind Ana and hugged her around the stomach. His chin was resting on her shoulder and he spoke low and smooth.
"Come on Chica, she ain't worth it. Let's go outside to the playground."
His voice calming her down, just like it did every other time. Her breathing finally slowed down and he walked backwards a couple steps until he let her go and they walked out together with his arm around her shoulder. The whole lunch room watched on.
Once outside they sat on the top of the picnic table. Ana leaning into his arm. She sighed.
"You have to stop trying to kill people I'm not bailing you out of the big house. I barely get enough money for candy." He grinned that grin that she loved so much. She laughed.
Once he heard her laugh he knew it would be ok. When Ana-Lucia is mad…she is mad. End of story, that's all there is to it. They laughed again at how crazy the idea of her going to jail sounded. She was only nine; she wouldn't go to jail. Sometimes the teachers watched in amazement at how James calmed her down. None of the teachers could ever do it, but here comes James; a rebel himself. He whispers something to her and she just calms down and walks away.
They always let them go to the playground, because he can get her to chill out.
Since Ana really didn't do no harm this time, only pulling her out of her chair. The school only gave her detention. This was okay with her because Sawyer always has detention so they could be there together. The school called Mrs. Cortez and told her that Ana-Lucia would be an hour late. It was fine because they both walked home together.
Later that day they were both sitting next to each other in detention. The teacher that was supervising went to the teacher's lounge so they took the opportunity to talk.
"You would think after the first time she wouldn't start nothing with me. I guess that stupid girl never learns." She said shaking her head.
"I guess so." He grinned.
Sawyer dug into his pocket and pulled out a bag of skittles. He tore the bag open and held it towards Ana. She smiled and held out her hand while he dumped half the bag into her small palm.
"So why are you in detention today?" She asked.
"Throwing skittles at the chalkboard in yesterday's detention." He laughed eating more skittles.
"Am I eating your ammo?" She asked. He nodded.
