Part 4- Of Introductions & Too Much Soda
Kate and Shannon both walked up to the lunch table at the same time. They both heard the contest from the other side and both were a little disgusted but that was Sawyer and Ana for you. Since there were only two chairs on either side of Jack left they took them and looked at all their friends. Sawyer and Ana fighting over which meal was better, Sayid taking apart his walkman, Eko reading a book, Hurley and Libby deep in conversation, and Claire sitting next to Shannon talking about gossip.
"So how is your first day so far?" Kate asked Jack quietly.
"It's good I have lots of classes with everyone and overall I like it." He smiled.
"Good…that's good. So how are you liking our group?"
"I like it; you're all very nice except maybe Sawyer." Jack grinned.
"He's just threatened that's all. Ignore him or have Ana beat the sh-t out of him like she always does." Kate giggled.
"So what's the deal with everyone here?" He said motioning to everyone around the table. Everyone was to busy to notice.
She smiled drank her Gatorade and then looked at. She began speaking quietly.
"Ok well… Libby and Hurley are just here. They are both very awesome and fun people they have crushes on each other but neither will admit it." She said as she pointed to Sayid. "He loves electronics and is very intelligent but also very fun. He secretly loves Shannon but doesn't know that people know. Now Eko he's very quiet but he's very smart and he loves to give advice and help others, behind closed doors though he is very funny. Let's see… Claire and Shannon…your typical girlie girls…hair…makeup…guys." She said taking a deep breath.
"Ok and Ana-Lucia and Sawyer; they together?"
"God no!" She said. "They've known each other longer than any of us has. They're fighters if you haven't already figured that out. They fight each other and anyone who
f-cks with them. Sawyer is a loud redneck but has manners when needed he just doesn't admit it. Ana-Lucia and just a toughie." Kate said.
"Ok so what about you?" Jack asked.
"What about me?" She asked. "I'm just your typical rebel who doesn't give a sh-t." She laughed. "And you?" She pointed to him.
"I'm just your typical smarty pants who does give a sh-t." He laughed.
The school day finally ended and everyone was invited to Hurley's after school. Surprisingly Ana and Sawyer didn't have detention today and were both able to come. Kate even asked Jack who gladly accepted. Once they were all over at Hurley's they sat around his back yard messing around and drinking way to much soda.
Sawyer and Ana had left Hurley's house around eight thirty. They were walking side by side on their way to Sawyer's house. Both of them comfortable with the silence. Out of no where Sawyer is thrown backwards from Ana's weight. It's something he's used to by now; he crouched down and allowed Ana-Lucia to get on his back. Sawyer chuckled and hooked his arms behind her knees.
These are the moments Sawyer loved, though he would never admit it. Ana at fourteen was only five feet tall; where as Sawyer at fifteen was almost six foot. Ana would get on his back and he would piggy back her to where ever they were going.
Too explain it in the best way possible…it was sort of bonding for them. Ana would get on his back, wrap her arms around his neck and rest her chin on his shoulder. Sure they were around each other all the time and hanging out and talking but it was quiet moments like these that brought them closer together. Sawyer finally made it to his porch; unlocking the door he walked in. He stumbled his way up the stairs to his room and threw Ana backwards off his back.
"What now Muchacha? You practically drug me out of the party. To what? Sit here and do nothing?" Sawyer grinned; his dimples present.
"I know but damn everyone was so hyper and loud and I just wanted quiet." She sighed.
Sawyer smiled lightly and sat down on the floor in front of his bed. He grabbed the controller and turned on his play station. He watched as Ana-Lucia walked to his dresser and opened it. She rummaged around for a minute until she pulled out a pair of his basketball shorts and an old 'Rolling Stones' shirt. She left his room and walked into the bathroom; she returned a minute later dressed for bed and her hair pulled up high on her head.
She plopped down next to Sawyer and grabbed the other controller. The played the game until their fingers were numb. Sawyer looked towards the clock.
"It's only one, what do you want to do now?" He said standing up and stretching.
"I don't know…put in a movie or something." She suggested.
Sawyer did just that. He put the movie in the VCR and sat in his bean bag chair while Ana laid on his bed with his big comforter wrapped up to her shoulders. Barely into the movie Ana fell asleep; Sawyer turned the VCR off and sighed. He grabbed his pillow and lay on the floor. Things were different now...they were getting older and sleeping in the same bed was just getting weirder. He closed his eyes and fell asleep in minutes.
Ok here is the last part I'm putting up for now. When I get reviews I will post more. So please, please review! Don't make me beg...
