Chloe stood by the refreshments, thinking about getting a soda but decided
not to. One guy had always spiked the soda at dances and she refused to get
drunk against her wishes. She sighed; this dance sucked even with Pete her
as a friend and dancing partner. Chloe was pretty, in a quirky way, but
still beautiful. Not like Lana Lang, she laughed to herself; She is so
freaking pretty Clark can't even come up with real words or sentences when
he is around her. She looked over to see Lana Lang, herself, walking
towards her. Lana looked so beautiful in her gown that Chloe immediately
felt ugly compared to her.
"Hey Chloe" Lana called "You look so pretty"
"Uh, hey Lana, you remember me?"
She laughed embarrassed.
"I'm sorry we didn't have any chances to talk this year"
"That's OK, you are Lana Lang, Miss popular"
Lana sighed loudly and Chloe suddenly felt bad for being so sarcastic. Give Lana a break, Chloe, she thought the girl just wants to be nice.
"I'm sorry" Chloe apologized "So, uh, how is Whitney doing?"
Lana's eyes brightened up "Whitney, he's doing great. He is just so happy the Crows won the season" She smiled bigger "Some people think he's a jerk, but he's really a sweet guy"
Chloe nodded. Lana changed the subject.
"Um, have you seen Clark around here?"
"No, and aren't you with Whitney?"
Lana blushed "Of course I am, I ran into Clark last night and we had a long talk. I promised him I'd save him a dance but I don't see him around"
Chloe shrugged "Neither do i. I'm here with Pete"
Lana's face lit up with excitement "Are you two dating?" she asked
Chloe practically shrieked with laughter "God, no. We are just friends. We didn't have dates so we decided we'd go as friends."
Lana smiled and nodded "Well, I have to go back to Whitney, if you see Clark tell him that the offer for the dance is still up"
Chloe nodded "Okay Lana, will do"
"Bye Chloe, I'll see you around"
"Yeah see you"
Chloe watched Lana walk away. Chloe had always thought that Lana was as stuck up as her cheerleading friends, but just talking to her now she didn't seem all that bad.
"Ladies and Gentleman" Mr. Sosa announced "The moment you all have been waiting for the Smallville High's 2001 Homecoming King and Queen!"
The crowd cheered, Chloe glanced over at Lana, who didn't look the least bit exited. Chloe thought that was pretty cool, winning this was not all Lana cared about.
"And the Homecoming King is... Whitney Fordman"
Whitney smiled, kissed Lana and went up where two cheerleaders put a crown on him. His football buddies raised their fists shouting "whoop! whoop! whoop!"
"And the Homecoming Queen is... The moment you all have been waiting for... is.. Lana Lang!"
Everyone cheered for Lana. Chloe looked over at Pete.
"No brainer" She said too him and he nodded his agreement
Lana smiled and went up on the stage. Lana and Whitney both flashed each other victory smiles. Chloe stared at them. They seemed to glow, maybe it was just the way that lights were hitting them but even at school, there was a special shine about them. Although Chloe would never admit it to anyone, she would like to know what it would be like to have Lana Lang's glow. Plus being the girl of Clark Kent's dreams would be cool, too.
