It was about 4 in the afternoon when she drove up to the small town
on her noisy motorcycle. Clara was about 20 and had long, silky black hair
and deep emerald eyes, just like her mother had. She took the flame-licked
helmet off her head and looked around, now standing at the outskirts,
"Smallville, eh?" She laughed a little to herself, seeing why it was called
that, "This should be amusing…" And with that, she slid the helmet back on
her head and roared her motorcycle, speeding into town.
Clark and Chloe were at the coffee shop, chatting over coffee and hot chocolate (Clark was never one for highly caffienated products), "So how about math today? Fun, right?" They laughed a little and talked about the teachers, making fun of them, as Chloe seemed to have a knack for doing well. Their attentions were both turned to the door as a stranger walked in. It was Clara, although neither of them knew that. She had on tight, somewhat bleached, blue jeans and a little bit revealing, tight black tank top on, her usual attire. Immediately, Clark noted to himself she looked familiar as Clara walked in, looking at the menu very non-challantly, "Wow, check out the girl, Clark". Chloe whispered to her friend, "You know her?" Clark narrowed his eyes, thinking he knew her very well, but actually having no idea who she was, so he shrugged, turning his attentions back to Chloe, "No, but she does look familiar. She probably has family here or something, we never get sigh-seers here". They both laughed a little and Clara glanced over, hearing them.
The duo quickly looked away and continued their conversation, feeling slightly intimidated by someone like her. Clara sighed a little, thinking, 'People here seem pretty normal. I get those sort of looks everywhere I go that isn't Metropolis, you'd think people have never seen a city girl before'. She shrugged and ordered a hot chocolate, not wanting any caffeine at this point in the day. She continued to think to herself, 'Well, I need to find my aunt and uncle; my mom said they lived around here. I'm sure if I just ask a few people they'd be happy to tell me, country people aren't really as anti-social as I am'. She laughed a little to herself at the thought and decided to ask the dark haired guy and blonde girl sitting together if they might know the Kents.
Clara stood, walking over, Clark and Chloe looking up as she politely introduced herself, very against her nature to do, "Hey, um, I'm new in town and I'm not sure who people are. I'm trying to find some family, and I was wondering if either of you know the Kents". Chloe got a confused look on her face and turned to Clark, Clark looked even more confused, "Well, what Kents?" As if he didn't know, there was only one Kent family in this town. Clara answered with a little hesitation, "Martha and Jonathon Kent, I believe they have a son, too, Clark". Chloe smiled a little, finding great amusement in this now, "Well, you've already found the son!"
Clark seemed a little speechless, having been quite sure his whole life he had no other family than his parents and the ones in some other galaxy. "Really? Wow…I guess my luck is improving!" Clara laughed a little, extending her hand to her stunned cousin, or so she thought, "Hi, I'm Clara". He shook her hand, noting also that her grip was very firm, almost painful. "Hey, I'm Clark, but I guess you already know that…" He chuckled a little, as did Clara. "So you said you're family of the Kents, or, well, me. My family I mean…" He stumbled on his words a little as he spoke, still somewhat intimidated. She nodded, her hands in her pockets now, getting anxious, "Yea, I'm your cousin. I don't really want to intrude here, but I was wondering if you could show me to your house, I really need to talk to your parents…" Chloe smiled,
"Don't worry, no intruding going on here! I was about to leave anyways, I need to work on the paper," She looked at Clark as she spoke, then stood, turning to Clara, "I'm Chloe, by the way. It was nice to meet you". Clara made no attempt to shake her hand, seeming more to avoid it.
Chloe nodded and walked out, Clark stood up, "Well, alright, sure, no problem. Do you need a ride there?" Clara shook her head,
"Nah, I can follow behind, I have my own mode of transportation". She grinned a bit and Clark shrugged, walking outside to go get the truck. He hopped in and carefully started it while Clara on the other hand hopped onto her motorcycle and roared the engine, causing some stares and looks. After she put the helmet on and black visor down, even more people were staring, Clark sighed and thought, 'Oh boy…this is going to be different'. With that, both started down the road, headed for the Kent farm.
