Quick note the Kate in this chapter is not the one from Lost it is a different one.

Part 19- Alone… For Now

Their both lying in bed; staring at the ceiling, hands behind their heads. There was only one problem here; they were in separate beds, in separate houses, in different cities. Ana-Lucia had just finished unpacking and she was exhausted but, it didn't matter how much sleep she needed, she couldn't sleep because the harsh reality was… she left her man. He wasn't a couple blocks away now, no. Sawyer was over an hour away doing god knows what. Except he was doing the exact same thing she was. Sawyer was lying on his back staring at the ceiling missing his girl madly.

Finally both too exhausted to keep their eyes open anymore. Despite the many miles between them; they both shut their eyes and fell asleep at the same time; even though they weren't together in person.

(Ana)

I woke up the next morning to my alarm clock ringing annoyingly loud. Sighing; I kept hitting it until it stopped. I closed my eyes tight one last time before lifting the covers and rolling out of bed. Today I start my first day at my new high school. I'm not looking forward to it in any means but, I've got to go to school. I showered and threw on a pair of jeans and tee shirt; slipping on my sneakers. I walked out to my car; backpack slung over my shoulder. After I discarded my backpack to the passenger seat; I put on my sunglasses and pulled away from the street. There was only one thing on my mind. What was Sawyer doing at this moment?

(Sawyer)

"James!"

My eyes flew open at the sound of my mother's yell. Groaning; I rolled over and looked at the clock. I quickly threw back the covers and walked towards the bathroom to get ready for this lousy day. After I was finished with my shower I headed downstairs and grabbed a quick breakfast before walking to my cars; where I would continue Ana's tradition and pick up Hurley and Libby. Once the three of us were at school; Hurley and Libby exited the car leaving me by myself. I picked up my cell phone and dialed the familiar number. After a few rings; she answered.

"Hello?"

"Hey chica." I said cheerfully.

"Hey…" Her voice was happy.

"What are you doing?" I asked.

"I'm on my way to school right now and I'm not looking forward to it at all." She sighed.

"Cheer up muchacha, maybe it's not as bad as you think." I tried to reason with her.

"Yeah right." She huffed.

"Well I gotta get to class. I miss you. Have a good day." I said.

"I miss you too." She replied softly.

"Bye…"

"Bye…"

I hung up my phone; closed my eyes and sighed. This was going to be a long ass day. I threw my phone in my pocket and stepped out of the car. Locking it; I walked slowly into the school building.

(No One)

After putting her phone in her backpack; she opened the door slowly and stepped out. She was greeted with a busy sight. Students and teachers were rushing around; some talking to their friends, others trying to get to their locker. Ana grunted in frustration and started taking small steps towards the office. After squeezing through and getting push around; she finally made it into the small office. Standing at the counter she waited for the secretary to get off the phone.

"How can I help you?" The blonde chirped happily.

"I'm a new student; I need my schedule." Ana-Lucia stated dully.

The blonde typed on her computer until the printer spit out a clean sheet of paper. She smiled wide and handed Ana her schedule. She thanked her quietly and headed towards her new first period. When she walked in she noticed her teacher and a few students talking amongst themselves. She walked towards the front desk and was greeted by a bald man.

"Hi, you must be my new student? I'm Locke, call me Locke." He chuckled.

"Ana-Lucia" She replied.

He nodded and told her she could sit wherever she wanted. She happily took a seat in the back away from everyone. That didn't last long though when three brunettes and one blonde walked up to her. They were giggling and whispering.

"Are you the new student?" Ana nodded. "Well I'm Carol, this is Beth…" She said pointing to the blonde. "… and that's Daiva and Katherine."

"Kate!" Katherine said loudly. "Call me Katherine and we might have problems." She grinned.

Ana nodded and couldn't help but laugh. These girls weren't too bad. She thought she would be dealing with preps and stuck up people but, so far so good. The four girls all sat in desks around her and continued on, asking questions and filling her in on information.

"…so do you have a boyfriend?!" Daiva asked quickly.

"Diva chill girl, we barely know her and you're prying into her personal life." Carol rolled her eyes with a smile. Ana chuckled.

"So where did you come from?" Beth finally spoke up.

"Just outside LA." She stated.

"Well what the hell are you doing in this sh-tty little town?" Kate asked.

"My mother was transferred here for her job." She said cutting it as short as possible.

"Well all I can say is, if you stick with us everything should be good." Carol explained.

"Yeah because we're cool like that." Kate said laughing.

"… and we're not stuck up like the rest of them here." Daiva nodded.

"Uh huh…" Everyone agreed.

The bell had finally rang and everyone turned around to face the front of the classroom. Ana saw what they were talking about. It seemed like every girl here was wearing a mini skirt and a mean, stuck up scowl.

(Ana)

It seemed like everyone was staring at me! If it wasn't a guy giving me a nasty grin, it was the girls giving me disgusted looks. I swear if those whores keep it up someone is getting their ass beat. Kate saw my face and talked quietly.

"Don't worry about these sluts; I've been around them all my life. Hell even grew up with some of them. They act like their the sh-t but, when it comes down to it… their scared little puppies." Kate smiled. Ana nodded and was filled with relief when the bell rang for the next period.

All through the day it seemed like I always had one of the girls at my side. Usually I don't take a liking to girls but I soon realized a little bit about every one of them. Carol was quieter but, could get loud too, she was very caring. Daiva was shy but, I soon noticed that after she had that soda for lunch she almost got kicked out of science for talking too much. Yup, Daiva and I would get along good. Beth was the quiet one; she could say something sarcastic; something that could make you bust out laughing and she could keep a straight face while doing it. Kate… I don't even know how to begin with Kate… she was a kick ass girl. She loves talking about those stuck up people too. She's a trip. I don't know where the future will take me but, somehow I can see these girls in it.

Once school was over; the five of us walked outside together. The sun was beating down on our heads and we were talking up a storm.

"So how do you guys get home?" I asked them.

"We all have our own cars; usually we take turns driving though." Beth said.

I nodded and they followed me into the parking lot. Once my car came into sight, I almost choked.

"Sawyer!" I said loudly; in surprise.

He was leaning against my door with his famous sh-t eating grin. I smiled and starting walking fast until I finally reached him and I leaped into his arms. My legs went around his waist and I quickly grabbed his head and pulled him into a hard, passionate kiss. The girls stayed behind a ways and watched on.

"You drove all the way out here?" I asked in surprise.

"Yeah, well you know how I hate last period so I said what the hell. Snuck off campus and drove out here." He grinned and set me down onto my feet.

"I guess that answers my question about the boyfriend." Daiva said with a grin.

I figured I would post three chapters since 17 & 18 were very short. Enjoy and PLEASE REVIEW!
