Chapter 1:
Early evening at the Kent Farm. Chloe had dropped off Lois earlier eon but Clark is just getting home after staying on at the pep-rally (Clark is still in his wet clothes from earlier on).
Clark gets out of his truck and heads to the barn.
Clark (to himself) – I can't believe Lois, what did she think she was doing. I'm soaked. Although she's got an amazing smile. I can't believe I just thought that, I need to snap out of it.
Jonathan Kent enters the barn and sees Clark in his wet clothes.
Jonathan – What happened son?
Clark – Nothing
Jonathan – Ok let me put it this way, what's the matter? And before you say anything I know there's something wrong because I know that look.
Clark – Its Lois!
Jonathan – No surprise there then. When are you two ever going to get on?
Clark – Never probably. She drives me insane, I never get a moments peace and look what she did (points to the wet clothes)
Jonathan – Lois did that?
Clark – Yeah she hit the target on the dunk tank at the pep rally, her of all people.
Jonathan – Come on Clark its only abit of fun.
Clark – Yeah I know, but its just……
Jonathan – I know son (looks at Clark sympathetically). Come on dinners nearly ready.
Clark – Ok, ill go and have a shower before dinner then.
Jonathan – God, lets go in starving
Clark and Jonathan walk towards the house.
At the same time father and son are talking out in the barn, Martha and Lois are also talking in the kitchen.
Lois – Mrs Kent, thanks for letting me stay here.
Martha – its really no problem Lois, we love having you here.
Lois – Well thanks (thinking)
Martha – Something on your mind?
Lois – umm…. Not really.
Martha – Come on Lois, iv spent 17 years around Clark and that cousin of your, I know that look, I know something's wrong.
Lois- In confidence?
Martha – Of course.
Lois – Its Clark
(Martha nods) its just he's so annoying, you know what we are like, we just rub each other up the wrong way.
Martha – That's normal for you two. So what's the matter?
Lois- I know, its just lately things have been getting so confusing. I think…..
Martha - … your feelings might be changing.
Lois – Maybe (thinking of Clark in the wet t-shirt from earlier), yea I think they are.
Martha – Well in my experience the best thing to do is to tell the other person how you feel.
Lois – I couldn't… we both know he doesn't feel the same.
Martha – You might be surprised Lois.
Lois – Why has he said something?
Martha – No, its just I know my son. Take a chance, what have you got to lose?
Lois – yeah maybe you right. Thanks Mrs Kent (goes to hug Martha)
Martha – Anytime Lois, I'm here whenever you need to talk.
