Smallville

"Superman of Steel"

Facades of the Heart

Jujubie


Summary: Chloe and Whitney are by far the most contrasted people when compared to one another. Chloe Sullivan an ace reporter for Smallville's infamous "Torch" newspaper. Whitney Fordman, the star quarterback for Smallville's football team the "Crows" and has the gorgeous girlfriend at his side to boot. The two seem to be the most unlikely couple to ever happen. But when these two clash will sparks fly or fuses blow? Chloe/Whitney


----- One -----

Chloe Sullivan proofread the last of the pieces for the newspaper and began piling them up onto the page to print out the latest news and information. Her eyes glowed as she blended nicely with her surroundings fitting into place perfectly.

The school newspaper The Torch had been her life so far. It as what she had lived for and to her going without it seemed impossible. Albeit it was only her third year at the school she felt a connection and knew what she wanted from life, to become a star reporter. To have her name up in the headlights and be known famously for other things besides being Clark Kent's best friend. Everybody knew that kid was bound to do something glorious in life; he had many talents and a wide range of selection to choose from.

Chloe tucked a wisp of her glorious short blond hair behind her ear as her eyebrows scrunched up in concentration, as she made sure everything was all right. Finally satisfied with her work she began printing the papers which she would bring in later for copying and then lastly distribution. It was a tedious job, but one that left her with complete contentment at the end of the day. Nothing could measure up to the joy she felt as she worked around the place.

At the end of the day she could say she felt contented…but her heart could say otherwise…

Whitney Fordman stood in the bleachers staring at the scene before him. It was the football field. A place where he could claim he spent most of his life at. Being out on the field with the surge of energy and the anticipation and excitement of not knowing exactly what happens next. It was a place he could feel at contented and at peace. It was his secret place.

Whitney ran a hand through his silky short blonde locks as his eyes glittered with amusement. He remembered the events of yesterday fondly. It had to be his best game of the season. Finally, everything seemed to be going right.

He glanced over at his beautiful girlfriend who smiled fondly in reply. He could honestly say that out on the field he felt comfortable. There was no worrying about the problems at home or of his father's condition. All he had to do in the game was win.

He recalled gaining the acceptance letter to Kansas State to play football. He had never been so happy in his life. Practice had ended and he walked over to his girlfriend who sat on the bleachers.

She greeted him with a soft kiss, which he gladly returned. He grabbed his towel and bag and walked off with Lana to the truck.

It was times like these, where everything was going right that he could truly say he saw his place in the world and felt like he belonged. But his heart could say otherwise…
