Disclaimer: I don't own any of the Smallville characters, obviously, and the plot is inspired on Annette O'Toole own words in some interviews about the episode "Hostage"… I've just adapted it to my point of view and the series.

Martha's top-secret diary

Martha came back home with a dreamy look on her eyes.

"Where have you been?" Her father voice took her back to reality.

"With some friends" she lied.

"I thought I had told you to be back at seven"

"It's just eight o'clock, dad…" she said climbing a few steps to her room.

"You're not like the other girls, Martha… you are a Clark, you should be acting according to the things I've tough you"

"You have teach me how to be a bored nun closed in my room, dad… and I'm surely not going to act like that" she smiled and continued her way up.

"Don't talk to me like that again! You young lady are not coming out from your room in a month!" William Clark yelled from the hall while her daughter answered him with the noisy boom of her bedroom's door closing.

Martha left her bag on the floor and jumped onto the pink sheets of the four-post bed. From under the amount of different pillows, she took out a pink notebook where she wrote:

Dear top-secret diary,

Today I've met the guy I want to marry with. He's so cool! He's very attractive and very intelligent! And daddy would never accept him because he doesn't have "a good job".

I've met him at college after my economy class. He was there by chance and we crashed. He's older than me, but it doesn't matter, he's so good-looking!

We've gone out after my classes. He invited me to a coffee in a place I'd never been yet at the other side of the city. I've missed the time and I've come back late at home again… Dad's crossed with me now and says I can't go out, but I don't care because we're meeting tomorrow again, at night!

The next day, after have dinner with her father Martha got dressed and jumped by the window of the bathroom to the garage's roof, and then to the garden's tree bench. Climbing up and down the tree was something she'd been doing since she was a kid, so it wasn't very difficult, even wearing her higher heels.

At the corner of the street there was the red car waiting for her. She opened the door and quickly came in before any neighbor could see her.

"Hi sweetie"

"Hello Perry" she said blushing and kissing the lips of that young blonde-haired reporter that the day before was giving a conference in her college.

Dear top-secret diary,

Yesterday was an incredible night! I did it! I did it with him! It was so amazing! I never thought the first time could be so wonderful! Perry was so sweet with me… We first went to a party of some friends of him that are also reporters, and after that we went to his apartment in the city. We drunk some vine and we did it on the couch.

It was so fun! Oh, but I did ask him to use protection, so there's nothing to worry about… I've told it to Jane on the morning… She still being a virgin so I'm the very first one of the group to have sleep with a guy!

He drove me back home, I had to climb the tree to get in, but it doesn't matter… even if daddy had noticed me I would still being the happier girl in the word today!

We didn't said anything for today but I'm sure Perry's going to call me soon^^ We had such a great time!

Martha hided her diary again and went downstairs to have lunch. She spent all the afternoon with her mobile phone on her hands but… it never rang.

The next day, went she came back from college she found his father holding her diary on his hands, opened by the last page she'd written.

"Can you tell me what the hell this is, Martha?" he asked with a too calmed tone of voice.

"A fiction story I'm writing?" she tried lying very bad.

"Can you tell me when my daughter became the whore of her class?" he yelled throwing the diary against her.

"I'm not that!" she shouted protecting herself with her arms to avoid the projectile. "I love him!" She stepped forwards, staring at her father.

"You what?" he screamed while his hand slapped her face noisily "You're not going to date any reporter while you live in my house, young lady" he grabbed her arms and pushed her against the wall "Listen to me… You better start behaving like a nice city lady if you don't want me to send you back to the boarding school"

"I'm twenty years old, dad… there's no way you can tell me what to-Aah!" her sentence was interrupted by a second slap, on the same cheek.

"You have two options… you can stay here and live like a princess under my will…" he advised grabbing her hair "…or you can leave and start your whore-happy-life with the reporter or the next man that cross your way, because… this Perry you love so much is not going to call you, sweetheart" he released his daughter and picked the diary from the floor "Guys are just interested in one thing… and you already give it to this one" Mr. Clark pushed the book against his daughter chest, she take it and he retired to the library while she climbed the stairs crying.

She hated her father! And she hated him even more after realize he was right when a week after Perry hadn't called her back yet.

After that incident, his father sent the limousine to pick her up at college every day after her classes. There was no way she could stay with her friends, even at the library, until that spring day when…

Dear top-secret diary,

Today I've taken the notes back to the guy I met yesterday in the entrance bench of the college. His name's Jonathan, he's a Smallville farmer. He wanted to invite me to dinner but I couldn't so we're meeting tomorrow at lunch time. I'm not sure but, I feel this could be the one…
