So this is Obsidian's 'Purple Snake Challenge'... Sounded like it would be fun to write so enjoy .
Summary: Chloe, Clark, and Lana are all in college. Clark suddenly comes back into Lana's life after two years and she falls back in love with him again. (I am the worst at summaries but thats just the basic plot.)
Lana opened the door to her dorm and practically passed out on her bed. Chloe walked in about 15 minutes later and got on the computer.
After Chloe was done researching for her paper she signed onto aol instant messenger. She was disappointed to say the least when she saw that Joe wasn't online. Nevertheless she stayed there and it wasn't long before people started to instant message her.
MASSIEKUR: Hey chlo sup? ILL REPORT YOU: Hey

REPORT YOU: HAHA I know the feelin MASSIEKUR: do you have
class later? ILL REPORT YOU: nope y? MASSIEKUR: cum
hang with me n sav ILL REPORT YOU: kk gotta print a paper and
write lana a note first tho h/o ILL REPORT YOU: be there in
5... byez
Chloe noticed that Lana was asleep and didn't want to wake her so she left her the note next to the keyboard. Chloe was rushing so fast that she forgot to sign off. She ran outta that dorm in record time.
Lana yawned and sat up. The digital clock read 8:27. She stretched and walked over to the computer. She looked at the keyboard and noticed the note.
Lana, Hey,
got home and you were sleeping. Went to hang out with Massie and
Savannah. Wondering if you could get me a folder for my paper sitting
on the printer. Be back later. thx- Chlo
Lana pulled open the desk drawer and pulled out a black folder. She loved Chloe to death but she could be such a flake sometimes. She shook her head and smiled to herself as she set the folder on top of the printer by Chloe's papers. She heard the ring of an instant message being sent and she clicked on it. She didn't remember signing on.
CK87: chlo i got some news
Lana looked up at the screen, but she didn't recognize the screen name. She wondered who it could be for a few seconds until the unknown instant messaged again.
CK87: u there? ILL REPORT YOU: no sry shes
not here right now CK87: oh, whos this? ILL REPORT YOU:
this is lana... her roomate this? CK87: i didn't know that you
were roomates with chlo at met u... she said that you were goin to
central kansas ILL REPORT YOU: who's this?
Lana felt her heart beating anxiously. The only people that knew that she was planning to go to Central Kansas were people from Smallville. She watched anxiously for the person to reply.
CK87: clark
Lana felt her stomach churn as though it was trying to crawl through her belly button. She didn't know what to say. She hadn't spoken to Clark since their break up, junior year. Her heart was now beating faster than ever. Chloe told him that she was going to go to Central Kansas? Did that mean that they talked about her? A million and one questions devoured Lana as she sat there frozen.
ILL
REPORT YOU: so whats the news? CK87: ull c 2morrow will chlo
be back 2nite? ILL REPORT YOU: idk CK87 signed off
at 8:59
Lana was shocked to say the least. What was this big surprise? She was going to wait until tomorrow to see. That night all that she could think about was Clark. No doubt that she hadn't stopped loving him even after their breakup. Did he still feel the same way? She mentally smacked herself for even thinking that.
'Why do you think he broke up with you dummy?' 'He
didn't break up with me, I broke up with him.' 'You are so
stupid why did you do a stupid thing like that?' 'Because he
wasn't being honest with me.' 'About
what?' 'Everything.' 'Well you're still dumb because
you still love him...'
Lana fell back onto her bed, hoping to resolve the internal conflict that she was losing with herself. So many flashbacks flooded her mind. All of this just because of an online conversation? She dreaded what would happen to her if she met up with him face-to-face. She shrugged it off. It was ok because that wasn't going to happen, was what she told herself. She tried and tried to fall asleep but she couldn't. Thoughts of Clark and the way things used to be plagued her existence. She was just about to give up when her phone began to ring.
"Hello?" her voice was raspy due to the lack of speaking.
"Lana, were you sleeping?"
"Unfortunately no."
"What are you doing?" Lana could tell that Chloe was trying to yell over some very loud music.
"Nothing."
"Come down to the party at Delta Sigma Psi. It's so awesome!" Lana had nothing better to do and she needed to get her mind off of this.
"Ok call ya when I get there." Lana closed her phone and changed her clothes. After a few touch-ups to her makeup she just needed one thing.
Where were her keys? She looked in the normal spot, they weren't there. She looked all over the place. She could never keep track of her keys. Maybe they fell under her bed or something? She got on both knees, they weren't under her bed. Maybe Chloe's? She kneeled by Chloe's bed and reached her arm all the way under. She tried not to scream when she felt something mushy. She pulled her arm out to see a half eaten and partially rotten banana hanging from her palm. She ran into the bathroom and scraped it off.
'Chloe
and her damned bananas!' 'You've done the same thing
before.' 'Shutup...'
She was almost done grooming her left hand when the dorm phone began to ring. Who would that be? Nell never called this late, neither did Mr. Sullivan, and no one else really had the number. Nevertheless Lana walked over to the phone and answered it with her fully clean hand.
'I told Chloe to get the one with caller id.' she huffed.
"Hello?"
"Oh Lana, is Chlo back yet?"
"No she's at the Delta Sigma Psi party, Clark." she'd recognized his voice on the first syllable. "I can take a message."
"Well I wanted it to be a surprise."
"Then why did you call if you wanted to surprise her?" Lana realized how rude she'd sounded but figured that she couldn't take it back.
"Can you do me a favor?"
"Ok."
"Make sure she's home tomorrow at 12."
"I guarantee you that she will be home. She will be sleeping too. But why did you call this phone? Her cell is always glued to her hip"
"I don't have her new number. I lost it. But thanks."
"You welco-" Lana was cut off by the dial tone. He clearly didn't want anything to do with her.
She really needed a drink. She put on her coat and checked her pockets. Sure enough her keys were there. She practically flew down the stairs to her car and sped to the Delta Sigma Psi frat house. She dialed the number to call Chloe.
"Hey, I'm here."
"Awesome, now the party can start. What took so long?"
"Couldn't find my keys. So who's the designated driver for tonight?"
"Some kid named Jake."
"Gross." Lana hung up the phone as she pulled in and saw Chloe waiting for her at the door.
She hugged her friend. She smelled of cheap liquor, how nice. Strangely Lana envied her for this.
Chloe handed her a beer and she chugged it.
"So where is he?" Lana asked.
"Who?"
"Who do you think? Where's Joe?" Lana spotted him and nudged Chloe into his direction. "There, go." Lana winked at her and continued to mingle.
Someone came running up to her and hugged her. "Lana!" she yelled in a drunken manner.
"Savannah!" Lana hugged her back.
"When did you get here?" Savannah's words were slurred so it sounded more like 'whendi yougit eer?' but Lana was used to it by now. She was an expert.
"Now."
The hours slowly passed until it was time to leave. By the end of the night Lana and Chloe were both drunk off their asses. Jake took them back to their dorm in Lana's car and gave her the keys.
"There ya go ladies." he ran a hand through his greasy hair and attempted to take advantage of the situation and hug Lana. Lana was a happy drunk while Chloe on the other hand was a pissed off drunk.
"What di hell do you think yur doin!" Chloe yelled. "Yur gross and peeple just yoohse you for a free ride home!"
"Chloe!" Lana attempted to pull her drunken friend up to her dorm but Chloe wanted to dish out some more at jake. "Come one Chloe... He knows he's gross already. We have candy in the dorm." with the last remark Chloe gladly followed Lana to their dorm.
That night Chloe went through three bags of Jolly Ranchers and Lana called random people on her cell phone. The night ended with each of them passing out, Lana in Chloe's bed and Chloe in the bath tub.
The next day their dorm was completely silent, due to their late night. Lana opened her eyes when she heard a loud knocking sound. She sat up quickly, a little bit too quickly. All those shots from last night were finally catching up with her. Her head felt like it weighed a thousand pounds and each and every one of her hairs hurt, if that was even possible.
She stumbled over to the door and opened it. She saw a rather big pair of feet. Her eyes traveled up his legs then up his shirt, pausing at each button and finally her eyes met with his. She felt as though she was going to pass out again. She noticed that he was holding two things. A big blue puppy and a purple snake, was one of those for her? She tried not to think about it, thinking was too painful. She looked up at his face again.
"Hello Lana." Clark said as he handed her the big, fuzzy purple snake.
