Chapter 1
Clark was thinking, what would happen if he never had his powers? Would he still get sick around meteor rocks? Would he find it easier to be normal rather than having to hide a part of him all the time?
Suddenly, a voice from below awoke Clark from his daydream and he realised he was staring at the sky again.
"Clark, could you stop staring into disbelief and come down here to tighten this bolt before the bus gets here please?" Clark heard his father, Jonathan say from below out of the barn window.
"Be Right down Dad" Clark replied before appearing behind his father a minute later than he would of if he was normal.
Jonathan jumped, he was used to his son's alien abilities but they still made him jump from time to time.
"What bolt is it this time then?" Clark asked his father
"The one on the back left tyre, the bottom one" Jonathan replied
Clark walked around the pick-up to the left tyre and bent down. He grabbed on to the bottom bolt that would look tiny in his big hand and twisted. He could feel the bolt tightening under his fingertips.
"That should do it, son" Jonathan told Clark, putting his hand lovingly on his shoulder "You better get ready, or you'll miss the bus again"
"See-You later then" Clark replied before zooming into the farmhouse with his father's voice behind him
"Don't forget to slow down at the gate!"
...
When the bus arrived Clark was standing there casually leaning against the mail box like he had been waiting a while.
"Ok, cough up, Sullivan" Clark heard one of his friends, Pete say as he walked on to the bus so casually that it had not seemed possible that earlier he has zoomed from the front yard, through the kitchen, and back again in a matter of seconds.
"You two betting on me again?"Clark asked his pals after he sat down behind them.
He turned around, wondering if Lana was on the bus, although she normally drove into school now that she was working at the Talon almost all the time. He spotted a girl sitting behind him on her own, she looked slightly shy.
"Hi" Clark said to the girl behind him.
"Hi" she replied
