The circle

It may seem that Lex wants Clark and Lana together. It may seem that Clark loves Lana. It may seem that Lana likes Clark and Whitney. All is not what it seems.

You see many of the young people in Smallville, like those everywhere else, put up facades to hide how they feel. The love interests of the above people run in a circle - a love circle if you will. Lex loves Clark, who wants Whitney, who likes Lana, who wants Lex. Strange right? I mean Lex loving Clark and Whitney liking Lana both make sense, but the others? Well, it's true. Here's the story.

Clark POV:

I'll just say it. I. Want. Whitney. I know it sounds crazy, I've loved Lana forever right? Wrong. When I was little I was going to marry her, she was my best female friend and for little kids it means that you'll get married. Later it was the idea of her I loved, the beautiful, nice, girl next door.
