Clark Kent ran through the halls of the University Of Metropolis frantically looking for his first class. 'Great late on the first day.' he thought as he stopped in front of the door and took a sigh. "It's now or never, Kent." he said and stepped inside to find the professor hadn't even gotten there. Slowly he scanned the room and was surprised when he spotted his friend Chloe sitting in a seat across the room. A small smile crossed his face as he strode forward.
"Fancy meeting you here." he spoke and caused her to turn towards him.
"Oh my god, Clark! I can't believe it!" Chloe Sullivan said launching herself into his arms.
"Good to see you too." Clark chuckled hugging her softly. "Glad to know I have somebody in at least one of my class that I know."
"Sit down the teacher just walked in." Chloe replied and pushed him in past a girl with long dark brown hair. He would've thought it was Lana if he hadn't taken in her full appearance. She was bigger than Lana; being average for a girl. And she had a calming affect over him when he locked eyes with her.
"Oh sorry, I must be in your way." she spoke.
"Oh no it's fine." Clark smiled as he heard Chloe sigh.
"I guess I should introduce you to my roommate..." Chloe replied. "Clark this is Rory McKenna. Rory this is Clark Kent."
"So this is Clark, I should've recognized him from pictures." Rory said with a laugh. "Nice to meet you."
"Pleasure to meet you. So you're putting up with Chloe? I can understand you're pain." Clark said and quickly sat down so that Chloe couldn't reach it.
"Watch it Kent!" Chloe warned with a tiny smirk.
"Okay you two can have a reunion later. Right now I'd like to pay attention to the prof." Rory said as her gaze moved towards the prof and she began to take notes.
"Don't mind her Clark, she's too work oriented for her own good." Chloe smiled and turned her attention to the prof."
'Just how I remember you.' Clark thought and tried his hardest to concentrate but found it hard. He couldn't help but feel guilty for being here while his father still needed help back at the farm. "But they'd kill you if you just left school." he muttered.
"What?" Rory said turning to Clark.
"Nothing..." Clark said blushing as he noticed her smile and turn her attention back to the front.
'Great now she thinks I'm crazy.' He thought with a sigh.
Rory stepped out of the stuffy business building and sighed. 'Another wonderful day over with.' She thought shifting her book bag to a more comfortable position.
As she looked around the campus a pair of arms wrapped around her waist.
"Who the..." she was interrupted when he began to speak.
"Don't tell me you can't remember me." Lex Luther's voice said in mock hurt.
"Jesus! Frighten me half to death." she said stepping from his arms and leveled her gaze on him.
"What? I can't hold you?" Lex questioned.
"Not really. We're in public....and I thought you needed time to think." she said a bitterness sounding in her voice. She didn't like being toyed with and that was exactly what Lex was doing; not that she was surprised, that was Lex and there was no way of changing him....or else she just didn't have the patience anymore.
"I needed time to handle my father, not time away from you." Lex replied pouting slightly as he saw the irritation in her eyes. "Come on, I'm sorry..."
"Lex sorry isn't good enough anymore. I'm sick and tired of the excuses. Either you want to be with me or you don't, it's as simple as that! Now if you'll excuse me I hav..." she cut off as a male voice sounded in back of them.
"Lex, hey...." Clark said as he walked towards the older man.
"Clark good to see you, it's been a while." Lex smiled as he turned to his friend.
"Clark, hey thanks for coming to get me. I hate walking home alone." Rory said as she stepped to stand beside Clark. "Goodbye Lex."
With that Rory hauled Clark by the hand down the stairs.
Clark wore a stunned expression then turned back to Lex. "I'll see you later Lex."
"Yeah." Lex said his blood boiling as he watched them walk away. 'I could've walked her home....what does she expect from me? And how am I going to make things right again...' "Dammit if I didn't care about her so much it would be easy to drop this."
"Fancy meeting you here." he spoke and caused her to turn towards him.
"Oh my god, Clark! I can't believe it!" Chloe Sullivan said launching herself into his arms.
