-OK this chapter is a lot longer then the last I promise-

The next morning after I woke up I decided to do a bit of exploring. My journey stopped when I found a library, equipped with a Grand Piano. I walked over to it and ran my fingers across the smooth keys. Surely no one would mind if I played it….

So I sat myself down on the bench and began to play something that was just off the top of my head. I had completely lost myself in the music before someone spoke.

"Sorry!" They said. I turned around to see a young man, a very good looking one at that.

"I was looking for Lex." He told me.

"Umm, I think he is in the study." I replied. When I spoke, he seemed confused by my British accent.

"Thanks, and if you don't mind me asking, who are you?" he asked. I stood up and walked over to him.

"My name is Juliet Davis, I'm Lex's cousin. Who are you?" I replied.

"Clark Kent, Lex's friend." He told me.

"Well Clark, it is nice to meet you. Do you mind if I walk with you to the study?" I asked.

"No, not at all." He replied, and I think he even smiled at me.

We started walking down the halls. It was silent, in a balance between comfortable and uncomfortable.

"So, Juliet right?" He asked me. I nodded and let him continue. "If you don't mind me asking, what brings you to Smallville?"

I looked up at him and tried to smile a little, but it didn't work so I moved my gaze from his eyes to in front of me.

"My mother and I..." I paused for a moment. "We were in a car crash, I luckily came out with a broken collarbone and some scrapes and bruises, but I am afraid she wasn't so fortunate." I paused again, trying to collect myself. The tears were burning in my eyes again. I tried hard to push them away. "Anyway, since she is gone, Lex and Lionel are the only living relatives I have."

Clark looked down at me then spoke.

"I'm sorry." He told me, with much sympathy in his eyes and voice. I looked at him again... amazingly, his sympathy made me feel a little bit better.

"It's alright; actually it felt pretty good to say all that out loud. Oh we're here." I stated as we approached the study. We walked in to find Lex on his cell phone.

"Clark I see you've met Juliet. Well I hope you two have been getting along." Lex said

Clark just smiled… his smile was amazing.

"Well, you two probably have something's you want to discuss so I will leave, see you both later." Then I left.

(No POV)

"You must have made quiet an impression." Lex said.

"What do you mean?" Clark asked.

"That was the most I have heard her say since she has been here. I was starting to worry about her. Thanks Clark." Lex told him.

"Your welcome, I guess. I got your message, what did you want to see me about?" Clark asked.

"It was about Jules, but since you have already met her, there is nothing else. Oh. Juliet and I are going to a Gala in Metropolis tonight, I have an extra ticket. You should go, keep Juliet from being too bored." Lex said.

"I guess I can, I don't think my parents would mind, but it is only my second day free from college." Clark told him.

"I think they will understand." Lex said/
